Chapter 420: A Mall of True and False
In fact, from Li Yadong's point of view, when a man is married and a woman is married, he is not against Tingting falling in love, she is already an adult and has the right to control her life, and experience the ups and downs, even if it ends in pain, it is her life after all.
How can there be a person in the world who is born excellent, and the so-called excellence must also be tempered in setbacks again and again.
If jade is not carved, it cannot be done, and people do not know righteousness if they do not learn.
A person's life is actually a process of constantly accepting the baptism of wind and rain and gradually optimizing himself.
However, Tingting is not his daughter.
He has no right to guide her to a certain path, and with Li Yadong's understanding of his eldest brother and the conservative atmosphere of this era, his idea of accessibility is destined to fail.
As an uncle, all he can do is to do his best to protect Tingting from being hurt in the slightest, that's all.
The next day, Li Yadong specially came to Dongfanghong Mansion in advance, earlier than the time agreed with the Ford delegation, and called Jack to the office.
"Boss, what do you command?" Jack was dressed in a straight suit, and with a good-looking skin, he looked energetic and full of style.
Since Huang Deping took over the affairs of the automobile sector, he has been officially promoted to the general manager of the real estate company, with hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars of large properties under his hands, and several properties are being discussed.
Li Yadong didn't speak, and handed over a blank piece of paper on the table in front of him.
There was only one name written on it, and after Jack picked it up and looked at it, he looked a little unclear, "Fang Minqian?"
"A sophomore at the Academy of Performing Arts, that's all I know, and what you have to do is to investigate him for me, from his family background to his personal preferences, everything I need to know about this person. ”
The first thought in Jack's mind is: Could it be that the boss has taken a fancy to this person and wants to train him?
However, as soon as this idea was born, he passed it, not to mention whether the boss's sight would stay on a sophomore, even if this was the case, there were talent scouts on the entertainment company's side, and it was impossible to find him.
suddenly remembered that the boss's niece seemed to be studying at the Academy of Performing Arts, and her eyes suddenly lit up, and she had already speculated about things.
Good boy, you really dare to bubble!
You'd better be serious, or else...... Hey......
"Understood, boss. Give me three days, and I will definitely investigate the three generations of Fang Minqian's ancestors, as well as his moral character. ”
"Good. Li Yadong waved his hand and signaled that he could leave.
Dealing with smart people is easy.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, under the leadership of Huang Deping, who flew back from the UK, representatives of the Ford Group entered the Dongfanghong Building.
This time the scale is much larger than the last time, with a total of more than 20 people, which shows that the Ford Group attaches great importance to this trip. At the same time, it can also reflect the side: if the talks collapse this time, it is very likely that there will be no next time.
Lawrence and Li Yadong had already known each other last time, but the leader this time was not Lawrence.
"Boss, this is Mr. Paul, Senior Vice President of Ford Group. A middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears led by General Huang Deping was introduced to Li Yadong.
"Hello, Mr. Paul. ”
"Hello, Mr. Li, I want to see you, but it's really not easy. Paul couldn't laugh.
Li Yadong didn't answer, and after shaking hands with him, he motioned for everyone to take a seat.
"Mr. Li, this matter has dragged on for a year, to be honest, we have lost patience, if we really can't win Jaguar, we will have other choices, so please Mr. Li must give a clear answer today, whether he is willing to sell the Jaguar brand to our Ford Group. Paul didn't mean to beat around the bush in the slightest, and he was a little impatient, and he got straight to the point.
In fact, if it weren't for them being the intended buyers, with his identity, he wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to a company boss of Li Yadong's level.
Hong Kong's Dongfanghong Group and Ford Group, one of the three major automobile giants in the United States, are like the difference between Firefly and Haoyue.
"What does Mr. Paul mean by this?" Li Yadong pretended to look at him in surprise and said, "Isn't my attitude still clear? If you don't plan to sell the Jaguar brand, why bother to constantly negotiate the price with your company?"
The implication is obvious: If Lao Tzu doesn't plan to sell, he still talks to you about a ghost, when Lao Tzu is idle?
But guess what?
Paul really had this idea, and he always had the feeling that this yellow-skinned monkey was teasing them!
Anyway, this cunning yellow-skinned monkey knows this very well, and didn't the British government be fooled by him last year?
"Then what does Mr. Li mean, that is, he is willing to sell?"
"Of course, sell! I have been pondering this matter since my meeting with Mr. Lawrence earlier, and finally I have come to my mind that the Ford Group is more sincere than the BMW Group in comparison, so I am happy to make this deal with you. ”
Paul nodded subconsciously, and couldn't help but smile, thinking to himself: It seems that he may be wrong to blame this guy, and he doesn't seem to be as hateful as he thinks.
"In this case, Mr. Li, I just brought a team of lawyers today, it is better to choose a day, so let's sign the preliminary transfer agreement first. Paul said, waving his hand to the man beside him.
Several foreigners in straight suits understood and took out the documents that had been prepared long ago from their briefcases, but at this moment, a laughing voice came, "Slow, slow ......"
"Huh?" Paul subconsciously frowned, really wanted to slap over, and roared in his heart: What kind of moth do you want?
"Mr. Paul, I am interested in selling the Jaguar brand, and I also see you as a reliable acquirer, these two are true, but the price is ......," Li Yadong smiled and rubbed his hands, how can he be a billionaire, full of the most common philistine vendor on the street.
"Price?" he didn't mention this stubble, but when he mentioned Paul, he was furious, the other party played a good Tai Chi, and they were determined to win the Jaguar brand, and under the advantages of the other, the price was increased by a full 580 million on the basis of the original.
It's still dollars!
"Mr. Li, the price of 2.38 billion, are you still too low?" Paul stared at him stunned, the anger in his eyes seemed to be overflowing, this black-hearted yellow-skinned monkey, he thought he was wrong to blame him just now.
Bah!
"It's low. ”
Paul almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood, this bastard, he really dared to say these three words shamelessly!
"Mr. Li, I hope you understand that at the price you bought from the British government, compared with the price we gave, you have made at least a billion dollars from it! a whole billion dollars!
"This ...... Of course I understand. After Li Yadong nodded, he showed a wry smile and sighed: "Honestly, Mr. Paul, I am really under a lot of pressure to sell the Jaguar brand to you." ”
Paul laughed, angrily!
He didn't understand until today: It turns out that in this world, there are really people who can be shameless to this extent!
In less than a year, he easily made a billion dollars, well, he made too much money, and he was under pressure......
"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Paul, you will understand when you listen to me explain the reason. ”
"Oh?" Paul put his hands around his chest and made a gesture of waiting for the rest of the story.
He really wants to see if this scheming yellow-skinned monkey can still break the sky today?
Pressure, press your sister!
"I believe that with the capabilities of the Ford Group, Mr. Paul should know that the reason why I was able to acquire the Jaguar and Land Rover brands from the British government is because of the help of the Chinese government, and I am a Chinese citizen. ”
Paul didn't say anything, just nodded subconsciously, which of course he knew.
"Then Mr. Paul should be more aware that Western powers have always had a practice of technological blockade against developing countries like China. ”
Paul gave a soft "snort" and counted as an answer.
"At this point, Mr. Paul should have understood the pressure on me. The level of heavy industry in China is extremely low, and the government has always been interested in importing good technology from Western powers, but it has never been able to do so. Now, I was fortunate enough to take two world-class car brands from the British government, which greatly compensated for China's heavy industry technology. Mr. Paul, don't forget that there is also the help of the Chinese government, and I am a Chinese citizen, do you think the Chinese government will be willing to sell such a treasure that has been hard to get its hands on?"
"This ......" Paul couldn't help frowning at this.
He thought that the other party would weave some rhetoric to deceive him, but he never thought that the other party actually told the truth.
There is no need to answer this question at all, how can a backward country like China pick up two baby bumps after taking shit luck?
"So, Mr. Paul, I'm really stressed. Obviously, if I sell Jaguar to you, I will definitely offend the Chinese government, and you should know very well that China is a socialist country, a one-party dictatorship, and the consequences of offending the national government are terrifying, ordinary people can't imagine how terrible they are. It can be said that ...... It's all at the risk of killing my head, and fortunately my company is headquartered in Hong Kong, and my home is also in Hong Kong, otherwise I wouldn't dare to play like this, and I'm not afraid to tell everyone here that I'm even ready to emigrate, and if something goes wrong, I can only seek asylum from other governments, and I'm completely playing with my life! Mr. Paul, if the chips are too low, I can't do it at all, don't you say?"
