Chapter 377: Fernand
When Li Yadong and his entourage returned to the Holiday Inn in New York, it was already close to noon, and Ling Xue and the others had been waiting for a long time.
"Mr. Li, you look tired?" Ling Xue couldn't help but ask when she saw him yawning again and again.
"Oh...... Somewhat. Li Yadong smiled, "I didn't sleep well last night." ”
Ling Xue is a very smart girl, and she has rich social experience and life experience, she looked at him carefully, and saw that he looked frivolous, so she had some guesses, and subconsciously looked at Chen Qiaoyi behind him.
And this look happened to be captured by Chen Qiaoyi, who "returned" her angrily.
Chen Qiaoyi thought about it, she slept next door to Li Yadong and them last night, and she listened to it with her ear on the wall for half a night, and she also itched for half a night, admiring the boss's combat effectiveness in her heart. Now it seems that he can not only go to the kitchen, but also to the hall, such a man is almost extinct, okay?
This made her envious of the girl named Su Wei to death.
"The meeting time is one o'clock in the afternoon, right?" asked Li Yadong.
Ling Xue nodded.
Li Yadong raised the Rolex on his wrist and looked at it, and said: "In this way, it just so happens that the place is not far away, the hotel seems to have a buffet, you go to have a light meal first, let's set off at twelve forty." ”
"What about you, boss?" asked Jack.
"I'm not hungry, make up for sleep. ”
"Oh......"
As they left the room, the door shut.
"Come and see the boss was really tired last night. Jack smiled, and his eyes also involuntarily glanced at Chen Joy on the side.
"Die!" Chen Joyie was not so polite to him, and directly rewarded him with an elbow.
"This ...... What's going on?"
Jack seemed a little unclear, so he cast an inquiring glance at the Qi family brothers, wanting to know what happened when a few people ran out yesterday?
But will the Qi family brothers bird him? Or will they reveal Li Yadong's whereabouts?
With their loyalty to Li Yadong, the lynching is useless, and the tone is first-class tight.
……
North Asset Management is located on Broadway Avenue in Manhattan, New York, just two minutes from the world-famous Wall Street.
A seventeen-storey Baroque building, it looks old, and the fact that there are still free parking spaces in front of the door shows that the company is not busy.
However, being able to survive tenaciously around Wall Street and find a glimmer of life from the encirclement and suppression of the famous large asset management companies such as Black Rock, Pilot, Morgan, and Welling can at least show that this company also has some advantages of its own.
After Ling Xue arrived here, she seemed familiar with the road, refused the reception of the staff, and took everyone directly to the ninth floor by elevator.
A white woman with a nice face and a secretary dress seemed to know she was coming, and was waiting at the elevator.
"Miss Ling, please come here. She made a gesture of please, and her attitude was very courteous.
This made Li Yadong even more curious, what is the relationship between Ling Xue and the boss of this company?
The meeting place was not in the conference room, and the beautiful secretary took them directly to the door of the president's office and signaled that the bodyguards could not enter.
Li Yadong simply took only Ling Xue and Chen Qiaoyi in, and let the others rest in the reception room next to them.
An office full of European classical charm, a huge mahogany desk, a huge globe is the most eye-catching. Li Yadong easily found the location of China from above, because the rooster-like area was pointed red and pink with colored pens, which was extremely incongruous with the crimson color of the office.
On the antique yellow-brown sofa, there sat an old man in a striped shirt, a dark gray waistcoat, and a half-white beard, but he maintained an excellent figure.
"Oh, dear Xiaoxue, you're finally here, and I can't wait to see you again. He stood up with a smile and spoke fluent Chinese.
"Hello Uncle Fernand, I look forward to seeing you again. Ling Xue took the lead and walked over to give him a face-to-face salute, behaving generously.
"Let me introduce to you, this is the boss of Hong Kong Dongfanghong Group, Li Yadong, Mr. Li. ”
"Hello, Mr. Fernand. Li Yadong smiled and stretched out his hand.
"Oh, Mr. Li, it's amazing that you're younger than I thought. Fernand's attitude is very enthusiastic, he is very tall, at least 1.9 meters tall, in order to match Li Yadong's height, he even leaned over slightly when shaking hands.
A person who knows how to do business very well. This is Li Yadong's first impression of him.
Of course, he has to show enthusiasm, because Li Yadong may become his biggest customer ever, bringing in a big business of at least more than a billion dollars.
However, it is difficult to say how much you can earn.
It's just that damn old classmate who actually brought Xiaoxue here, he obviously knows that he can't say anything hard in front of this face......
The female secretary walked in at the right time, and actually brought a pot of green tea, and poured a cup for everyone present, before bowing and withdrawing.
"Mr. Fernand, the purpose of my coming here must have been told to you by Miss Ling. Ji Lao told me, you are a trustworthy person, I don't know if your company can accept this business?" Li Yadong asked with a smile.
In fact, Ji Chaozhu's original words are: Although that old guy is picky, he is indeed trustworthy, he is very enthusiastic about Chinese culture, no worse than the professors who study Chinese history in American universities, which is something he is proud of. However, in my opinion, it is still very one-sided. There are only four words, and he really figured it out, that is, "a promise of a thousand gold".
can get such an evaluation from Ji Chaozhu, so that Li Yadong has no doubt about his character in terms of credibility.
Otherwise, in fact, the United States has a more powerful choice.
However, without some relationship and a foundation of trust, it is easy to get out of the way.
So for the sake of safety, Li Yadong listened to Ji Chaozhu's words and didn't go anywhere, only found his old classmate from Harvard.
"Of course it can be accepted. Fernand's answer was very simple, and he successfully built a business bridge, "However, Mr. Li, this is a huge acquisition, and the funds that need to be used alone are worth one billion. In addition, financial review, allocation evaluation, land project cost estimation, debt property rights clarity, etc., as well as the final extremely cumbersome price negotiation, all require a lot of manpower and financial resources. It's really difficult. ”
"I know all this, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered Mr. Fernand. Li Yadong smiled and nodded.
In fact, in his opinion, from Fernand's point of view, this matter is cumbersome, but how difficult it is, it is not possible.
The only thing that can be called difficult is probably the problem of funding.
Because Ji Lao and his team on the British side will provide an excellent opportunity for Fernand's acquisition plan.
As for the funds, he could even provide them if necessary, but he was afraid that Fernand would not agree, because then he would have little reason to charge a commission.
If there is no certain profit, people will do their best for you, just with a layer of emotional relationship?
Even Ji Lao said that Fernand is a very picky person.
Li Yadong wants to be foolproof, because there is only one chance, and given this situation, he would rather let Fernande make a fortune.
He values Fernand's integrity more than commissions.
Even, in order to make him stick to this integrity, so as not to see the intention of making money (he is not afraid of 10,000 in case, because the impact of this matter on China's industry is too great), there are many details, Li Yadong and Ji Chaozhu reached an agreement, and they do not plan to talk to Fernand, for example: their own Ford Group is also very interested in Leland Company.
Li Yadong understands the meaning of Fernand's above words, which is nothing more than to create a situation where "things are very tricky" first, so as to strive for the greatest interests for himself. Very common business negotiation skills.
However, he didn't care, he just wanted everything to be resolved quickly. He had a feeling that the longer the plan to acquire the brands of Leyland Company, the longer it dragged on, the more useless he became.
"In that case, please Mr. Li give us a detailed introduction to your goals and the specific industries you need me to help you take. Fernand chuckled, feeling that the young man in front of him was still very cute, not at all like the scheming guys he usually dealt with the most.
That's how we can talk about it.
He had always thought that that old classmate would definitely squeeze him hard, otherwise how could he get all the dear Xiaoxue?
"Joey. Li Yadong tilted his head slightly.
Chen Qiao understood and took out a document that had been prepared a long time ago from the black briefcase he was carrying, and handed it to Fernand.
Fernand glanced at the mung bean-sized words on the paper, and frowned subconsciously, although he had the habit of fitness and maintained his figure very well, but after all, he was over sixty years old, and he couldn't accept old age, so he had to get up and walk to the desk, and put a pair of reading glasses on the bridge of his tall nose.
After carefully reading the entire document, Fernand raised his head in surprise and asked in a very Chinese tone, "Play so big?"
"It's not huge. Li Yadong smiled, "If it weren't for the limited funds, I would have wanted to take down their entire company." ”
"Cow!" Fernand gave a thumbs up, and sure enough, he was a China expert.
"But...... Mr. Li, if the acquisition is carried out according to your plan, the funds involved are not as good as the one billion or so that Xiaoxue said yesterday, which is ......"
"That's right, Mr. Fernand, if you have financial pressure, we can provide it directly. ”
"NONONO, WHAT'S GOING ON? NO PRESSURE, NO PRESSURE AT ALL, WITH MY STRENGTH, ENOUGH TO RAISE THIS MONEY. Fernand waved his hand.
Li Yadong smiled bitterly, as he thought.
"There is no problem with this matter, as long as Mr. Li gives a time point, we can start the acquisition plan at any time. Well, I think it's time to talk a little bit about commissions. ”
When Fernand sat down again, his eyes became brighter and brighter when he took off his reading glasses.
