Chapter 603: Prince Waleed

……

Guo Shouyun nodded knowingly.

"Since he knows the World Style Garden, he should know about our cooperative relationship with Hong Kong Cheung Kong Group. ”

Qiu Yanyun smiled, "The cooperation between Universal and Cheung Kong is indeed a well-known thing in the industry. However, the project of the World Style Garden has not yet been approved by the Beijing Municipal Government, and Cheung Kong Group has not yet intervened. In that case, there are still opportunities for other companies. As for how they got this opportunity, they have already thought about it. After a pause, "Shouyun, I'm just a messenger, and I still need you to communicate with each other to decide." However, the other party said that it will not disappoint you!"

A glimmer of light flashed in Guo Shouyun's eyes. He knew Qiu Yanyun, and the person who could make her a friend must also have an amazing background or extraordinary talent. In this way, he was a little curious about who the other party was, and what kind of certainty he could convince him.

"I can see you here. I'll arrange the time!"

"No problem. I believe you won't regret it!" Qiu Yanyun nodded and said.

Guo Shouyun looked at the child and left.

"Boss, did you really decide to meet the person Qiu Yanyun said?" asked Wang Jue.

"Do you think there's anything wrong?"

"If the other party comes up with conditions that we can't refuse, what should we do on the Cheung Kong side? You must know that the cooperation agreement we signed with the other party before emphasized that the global infrastructure projects should be handed over to the other party. Moreover, the Li family in Hong Kong has a deep foundation and is not easy to offend!"

Guo Shouyun nodded, "Your worries are indeed correct. However, when we first cooperated with the Li family, the target was Global Real Estate, not Global Fund. In addition, even after this meeting, the other party comes up with conditions that we can hardly refuse, and it is enough to take out half of the volume of the construction project of the World Style Garden Renovation Project and hand it over to the other party. ”

Seeing the confidence on his face, Wang Jue nodded. The scale of Global Fund's investment in the renovation project of the World Style Garden can be called world-class. As long as you can participate in it, in addition to making money, it can also bring about a reputation boost. I believe that few companies can refuse.

The next day, Guo Shouyun, who was well prepared early, rushed to the magic capital Pudong International Airport. As a huge Airbus A380 converted private jet landed, surrounded by a large group of tall black bodyguards, a middle-aged man wearing an Arab robe and a red and white plaid turban walked down the plane ladder.

At this moment, Guo Shouyun also greeted him early.

"Prince Waleed, it's a great honor to meet you!"

"It's also my honor to meet Mr. Guo!"

After the two sides shook hands, Guo Shouyun looked at the guy standing next to him, tall and fat, and at the same time extremely familiar.

"Mr. Puchuan, I didn't expect you to come in person!"

"As the middleman who brokered this deal, how could I not come? Besides, I haven't seen Mr. Guo for a long time, so I happened to stop by to visit. ”

Guo Shouyun smiled, "Then I'm a little flattered." … Please, both of you. The hotel has already arranged it for you. ”

"Mr. Guo, please!"

The group got into the car and stopped outside the Peace Hotel on the Bund in the magic capital.

"This is one of the best hotels in the magic city, built in the 20s of the last century, formerly known as the Chinachem Hotel, is a Chicago School Gothic building, 77 meters high, a total of 12 floors. After its completion, it once had the reputation of "the first building in the Far East", including the comedy master Chaplin, the British playwright Sir Carhor, the French Prime Minister Edgar Faure, the US President Clinton and his wife Hillary, and many celebrities have stayed here, and the Chinese government has also held many foreign affairs receptions and activities here. ”

Waleed nodded, looked at the brightly lit hotel in front of him, and said with a smile: "Since there is such a perfect hotel, why didn't Mr. Guo choose to buy it?"

"If he were in private hands, I wouldn't be stingy!"

Take them in and arrange for them to be in the rooms you have booked a long time ago.

"How is it, are you two still satisfied?"

"Very good!"

Don De Puchuan also nodded.

"That's good! The two of you came all the way to rest for a while, and I booked dinner in the evening, and we talked while we ate. ”

After saying that, after a brief chat, Guo Shouyun left. The afternoon passed quickly. At seven o'clock in the evening, in the Jiuxiao Hall of the Peace Hotel, Guo Shouyun, Tang De Puchuan and Prince Waleed sat here.

As a high-class banquet hall, the doors are decorated with top-of-the-line Lalique art glass, and the restaurant's balcony has the best view of the Bund, Huangpu River and Pudong, and has hosted many heads of state and government at home and abroad. Of course, the price is extraordinarily expensive. But for the three people who enjoyed this place today, it was nothing.

"Cheers to the two of you who have come from afar!"

"Cheers!"

“cheers！”

"Romani Conti in '90?"

"I've always heard that Prince Waleed is a master wine taster, and now it looks like it's true. Guo Shouyun said with a smile.

"Mr. Guo has won the prize. Romanée Conti's wines are smooth and have a unique flavor that is easy to identify once you have drunk them. ”

"I'm not far behind the two. This 90-year-old Romanée Conti is hard to buy for dollars, and I almost didn't drink it. Don De Puchuan laughed.

Guo Shouyun smiled, put down the wine glass and said, "Come, try today's dishes, the dishes of the Peace Hotel are the most authentic Shanghai cuisine." ”

"I've always heard about the reputation of Chinese cuisine, and today I finally have the opportunity to eat it. Pu Chuan laughed.

"I don't think today's menu will disappoint you both. ”

After Puchuan and Waleed each nodded, the latter pointed forward, "This dish is quite interesting, I don't know what it's called?"

"Shrimp and black cucumber. It is one of the traditional famous dishes in Shanghai cuisine. To burn paper, you first need to simmer the black cucumber in oil, then add rice wine, soy sauce, shrimp, meat marinade, broth, sugar and other seasonings into the pot and stew. In order to make the sea cucumber taste, you also need to use chopsticks to make several holes in the sea cucumber. When the black cucumber is sufficient, put it on a large plate, continue to heat the marinade in the pot, then pour in scallion oil, and finally add water starch to collect the juice. Put a few green onions before cooking, add a little oil, and pour the marinade on the sea cucumber to make a dish. ”

"Mr. Guo will do it too?"

"Occasionally, when I'm fine at home, I'll try it myself. But the taste is far from that of the chefs here. … Two of you, you can taste it, it is guaranteed to be delicious. ”

"Then you're welcome. ”

As the words fell, Waleed inserted a piece of his fork into his mouth and put it in his mouth. Because I don't know how to use chopsticks, my movements look a little clumsy, but I don't delay eating.

"How?" Guo Shouyun asked with a smile.

"Compared to Western food and our Saudi food, it really has a different flavor. But it's delicious. ”

"That's good. … Today, every dish here is a famous dish in Shanghai cuisine, and we can enjoy it to our heart's content. ”

Under the deliberate management of Guo Shouyun, the 'landlord', the three of them pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and soon they were full of wine and food. After asking the service staff to remove the leftovers and replace them with fruit and tea, Guo Shouyun was ready to get to the point.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, I think Mr. Puchuan has already told you about my transaction, I don't know what you think?"

"Mr. Guo wants to buy the Plaza Hotel in New York, and there is no problem. There can also be certain discounts on the price. ”

Guo Shouyun's eyes narrowed slightly. There is a saying: courtesy to others must have something to ask for. The two sides are not related to each other, and the status and energy of the other party are no worse than him, and the purpose of taking the initiative to lower the conditions at this moment is self-evident.

"So, His Royal Highness the Prince has other conditions?"

"Since Mr. Guo asked, then I don't shy away from it. Personally, I am very optimistic about the development of Apple and hope to acquire a certain share. ”

"Apple?!" Guo Shouyun's eyes froze.

"Mr. Guo is reluctant?"

"Of course not. However, Apple is doing well and is in an extraordinary position in the technology industry. In the past, there were indeed many investment institutions and individuals who wanted to buy its shares, but most of them were rejected by me because the price was too low. ”

"Oh, how much does Mr. Guo want?"

"$71.4 per share!"

Waleed's expression froze instantly. Today, Apple's total share capital is only 630 million shares, and $71.4 per share means that it has a market capitalization of $45 billion!

"Is Mr. Guo asking for too much? The stock price of Apple traded on the NASDAQ is only $43 now. ”

Guo Shouyun smiled faintly, "Although in the eyes of His Royal Highness Prince Waleed, this price is indeed a bit high. But in my opinion, it's just right, and it's the right thing to do. After a pause, "Your Royal Highness, Apple is a technology company, and the products it is developing in it, as the chairman of the board of directors, I know best. $45 billion is high, but it's far from showing its true value!"

Looking at the calm but confident eyes of the man opposite, Waleed was also thinking quickly in his heart.

"I need time to think about it. ”

"Of course! But I don't want to drag it out too long. ”

Waleed nodded, and after a moment of silence, "Mr. Guo, I plan to exchange the Plaza Hotel in New York for an opportunity to invest in Apple." If you say yes, I'm willing to sell you the hotel right now for $580 million. But I hope this opportunity to invest in Apple will give me some time to look at it and make a decision. ”

Guo Shouyun smiled faintly, "I can promise you this condition." However, His Highness should understand that Apple is constantly evolving. So, if Your Highness delays it for too long, Apple's price will not be just the price I just mentioned. ”

"Of course I understand!"

"That's good! I agreed to this deal!" Guo Shouyun said.

Although Waleed's proposal was unexpected, Guo Shouyun, who himself intends to sell his stake in Apple to provide capital for future actions in the subprime mortgage crisis, does not mind selling some of it. It's just that the time was much earlier than he expected, and it didn't reach his real psychological price.

However, getting the Plaza Hotel in New York at a relatively low price is also a good compensation. After all, now that Ji Hong has given birth to a son for him, what he promised her can't be unfulfilled.

In addition, befriending this Prince Waleed also has the basis to extend his connections to the Middle East. The oil there, as well as a large group of wealthy royal tyrants, Guo Shouyun has also been coveting.
