Li Yadong smiled, didn't speak, and put on a deaf look.

"In the case of agency acquisition in the industry, the commission standard is usually five points, but since it was introduced by an old classmate, Xiaoxue is also ......."

Fernande said this and glanced at Ling Xue, who was sitting on the sofa opposite. I don't know if it's Li Yadong's illusion, he actually saw a trace of love in this look, not love, but the kind of love that only exists in the eyes of lovers.

I thought to myself: I probably can't. This old man was so much older than Ling Xue.

Besides, Ling Xue still calls him uncle.

"Therefore, I gave Mr. Li a very reasonable friendship price. Fernande continued: "4.5 points, it can't go any lower. Of course, this is the price for a successful acquisition. If the acquisition plan fails, Mr. Lee will only have to pay the cost to us. ”

"4.5 points?" Li Yadong thought in his heart, this commission fee is not high, and this guy is well versed in bargaining, and he added the emotional factor to it in the first sentence, and took the initiative to make concessions, which made him not easy to cut hard.

While he was thinking about it, he didn't think about it, but Ling Xue, who was sitting on the other side, took the lead in opening his mouth, "Uncle Fieldnan, this commission is inevitably too high, 4.5 points, then one billion is forty-five million, and Mr. Li's acquisition plan is far more than one billion, which means that you can at least make tens of millions of dollars from such an easy transaction, which is also too ruthless." ”

"Oh, dear Xiaoxue, it's really not as simple as you think. Fernand had a smile on his face, "This acquisition involves a huge amount of money, and Uncle Fernand also needs financing, and financing naturally requires high interest payments......

"But just now Mr. Li also said that if Uncle Fernand you have financial pressure, he can directly provide financial support. ”

"This ......," Fernand looked embarrassed, "Okay, let's put this aside, dear Xiaoxue, you must know that such a huge acquisition, if you want to handle it well, Uncle Fernand will at least send a reinforcement company to England, and the remuneration of these business elites, daily expenses, including bonuses, is not a small amount." ”

"How much does this cost?Does Uncle Fernand still treat me as a child?" Ling Xue sighed and said, "No wonder my mother often says, Uncle Fernand, you are good at everything, but you take money too seriously. ”

"This ......" Hearing her say this, Fernand's whole person was instantly stunned, looking at her face, his eyes were even a little confused, "She...... She really said that. I...... I thought I was worthless in her heart. ”

"No, my mother often said to me that Uncle Fernand was a very good man, and that she was glad and blessed to have been able to have you in her life, and that she was grateful that you had left her a wonderful memory......"

"Oh, no, no, my piano, that's what she thinks, I've always misunderstood her. Oh, dear Xiaoxue, your words make me unable to suppress the thoughts buried deep in my heart anymore, I have to go, I will leave immediately, I will go to China to find my qin, I want to tell her that she is the love of my life, so many years have passed, I have never stopped thinking about her, and for the rest of my life, I will stay with her for the rest of my life......"

Fernand was a little crazy, and got up from the sofa in a hurry, intending to throw down the stall in front of him and go out directly, but fortunately was stopped by Ling Xue.

"Mr. Li, why don't you ...... You go out and wait for a while, give us some space. She turned her head in embarrassment, afraid that she didn't expect such a big reaction from Fernand.

"Good. Li Yadong learned something about the relationship between the two, nodded with a smile, and left the office with Chen Qiaoyi first.

The next development of things was a little confused, and Li Yadong, the principal, became a foil. Under Ling Xue's leadership, Chen Qiaoyi and another lawyer, a representative of North, signed a principal-agent acquisition agreement, with the other terms remaining largely unchanged, except for the commission, which was reduced from the initial 4.5 points to two points.

Any idea what this concept is?

One billion dollars, one point is ten million dollars. According to Li Yadong's acquisition plan, the scale of funds involved in this matter may be as high as more than 2 billion US dollars, which means that Ling Xue's measures have saved him at least 50 million US dollars!

……

Holiday Inn.

The trip to New York was surprisingly smooth because of the relationship between Ji Lao and Ling Xue's peers. North Company is urgently preparing for the establishment of a business team, and Li Yadong and they don't have much time to stay in the United States for a long time, this is a battle to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, and the grasp of time and rhythm must be extremely accurate, otherwise everything will be in vain.

This means that they are in a race against time, and any delay may lead to a complete loss.

Jack and the others have already booked a ticket to return to the United Kingdom early tomorrow morning, and Li Yadong will leave the United States earlier than them, and he and the three Qi brothers will board the plane at 10 o'clock tonight and arrive in Hong Kong.

Before leaving, Li Yadong looked for Ling Xue alone and thanked her.

"Miss Ling, thank you this time, as Ji Lao said, it did save me a lot of money, if this matter can be done, I will definitely reward me heavily. ”

"No, Mr. Lee. Ling Xue smiled and waved her hand, "This matter is not only of great significance to you, but also has a far-reaching impact on me, Ji Lao, and the motherland. Besides, I'm a state official, and it's not in accordance with the rules. ”

"It's also ha. Li Yadong smiled, "Then if it's a friend, giving Miss Ling a small gift, it shouldn't be considered a rule-breaking, right?"

"Then it depends on Mr. Li's small gift, how small it is. Ling Xue smiled.

"By the way, you and Mr. Fernand ......" Suddenly thinking of something, Li Yadong couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I and him are really nothing, except that he and my mother used to be very good friends, and I, and my mother, ......"

She paused, reached for her thin neck, took a small, round silver box with a chain from her white shirt, and opened it with a press on the intricately designed mechanism on it.

It turned out to be a photo frame pendant, and there was a black and white photo inside, which was well preserved, and the woman in the photo looked nine points similar to Ling Xue.

Li Yadong knew that this must be a photo of her mother when she was young, if it weren't for the age difference, the dress and hairstyle were very different, the two looked exactly the same.

I have to sigh that the genes are really strong.

"This is a picture of my mother when she was at Harvard, and the person who took this picture for her was Uncle Fernand. Ling Xue explained.

"Your mother and Ji are classmates?" Li Yadong was a little clear.

"Yes. Uncle Fernand is also a classmate, and it may not be accurate to say that classmates used to be lovers, first love. ”

"That ......" Li Yadong subconsciously glanced at Ling Xue, she was obviously a purebred Chinese, so it could be seen that the lovers failed to combine in the end.

"Because of the war. At that time, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea broke out, and China and the United States met each other on the battlefield. For this, she gave up her love. ”

"......I see," Li Yadong sighed, "war, the number one evil of human society. ”

"That's true. Ling Xue agreed, "Actually, I know that my mother's love is not my father, but Uncle Fernand. As you can see, so does Uncle Fernand. I don't know if it's providence, but Uncle Fernand's wife died a few years ago, and now I wish he could go to China to find my mother, because she is so lonely. ”

"Your Father......"

"My father had passed away for more than 10 years, and I was only in junior high school that year. ”

"Oh, I'm sorry. ”

"It's fine. ”

……

Hong Kong.

Although this land does not fully belong to China at present, the moment he got off the plane, Li Yadong still felt a sense of relaxation and steadfastness.

In foreign countries, even if he walks on the hard concrete floor, he still has the feeling of floating in the air, as if the force of the surface is repelling him, like duckweed without roots.

Only the motherland and only the location of home can give him a strong sense of belonging. No matter how far apart they were, it was like a gravitational force that attracted him closer and closer.

After returning home for one night and getting Li Tingting with a cassette walkman produced by Apple, Li Yadong came to Dongfanghong Mansion early the next morning.

"Sister Lan, are the loan procedures ready?"

"It's all here. Sister Lan, the treasurer, lifted the briefcase in her hand, gestured, and continued: "I have also communicated with Yinrui, I have revealed a little bit of the purpose of the loan according to your meaning, and they have expressed strong interest, just waiting for you to come back to discuss the specific details." ”

"Good. Li Yadong smiled and nodded.

The reason why he rushed back to Hong Kong at this point in time was to solve the problem of funds, and this time he had a very big plan and the funds he needed were also very large, and his existing funds alone were completely insufficient, so it was undoubtedly the best choice to borrow money from the bank.

Although he needs to pay a high amount of interest, Li Yadong doesn't care, because he already has a complete plan in mind: if everything goes well, the plan to acquire the brands of Leyland will not only not suck up his cash flow, but also make him a lot of money.

Of course, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. You have to eat the meal one bite at a time, and winning the loan from UBS is a top priority.

Ten o'clock in the morning.

Li Yadong and his entourage arrived at the headquarters of UBS in Hong Kong, and the bank also attached great importance to this level of loans, and specially arranged for a vice president to meet with them.

The process of the meeting was not very smooth, and the initial loan amount given by the bank was only 500 million US dollars, which was a relatively controllable authorized amount given by the bank based on the asset status of Dongfanghong Group.

But what is 500 million dollars enough?

"Mr. Robert, you have to be clear, I have more than 500 million US dollars in cash in your bank, is this a way to call Hanako?" Li Yadong's tone was not good.

"Oh, dear Mr. Li, don't be upset, this is just a preliminary authorization amount. If you need more money, we can negotiate further. Of course, in order to avoid risks, we also need to understand the next whereabouts of Mr. Li's funds, I heard that Mr. Li is deploying a big plan in the UK, and I hope that Mr. Li can disclose as much as possible, so that we can assess the risk level of this investment and increase the authorized amount appropriately. ”

To tell the truth, Li Yadong really doesn't want to reveal too much about the British side, after all, the fewer people who know about this matter, the better. However, the banks are not stupid, they take risk control more seriously than anything else, and they can only avoid the important and lightly explain some general content, and show some relevant documents.

In the end, after some fierce bargaining, after Li Yadong accepted an interest rate plan that made Robert smile, UBS agreed to lend him $1.3 billion for a year.
