087 Rockefeller Center changes hands
The next day, when he saw Kenny and the people around him, Li Feng was speechless for a while, fortunately, the Rockefeller family came from the younger generation, if the older generation came over, they wouldn't know who was in charge when they negotiated with Goldman Sachs.
After all, the influence of those old guys is indeed a bit big, and sometimes seniority and age are indeed hard injuries.
Thinking of the old guy David Rockefeller, who suddenly came to the door last night, Li Feng also had a headache, it was definitely an old fox.
David himself was the president of Chase Manhattan Bank before his retirement, although his shares only accounted for about 5%, but whether on Wall Street or in the United States and even the world in terms of business and finance, he was a leading figure.
Naturally, every time he saw David Rockefeller's red eyes, Li Feng couldn't help but think of the rumor in his previous life, saying that he had changed 6 or 7 hearts in his life, just like a modern vampire.
The final result was that the Rockefeller family invested 30% of the purchase of the Rockefeller Center, and after the successful acquisition, they jointly established a New York real estate company.
At that time, the real estate company will be fully responsible for the property management of the Empire State Building and Rockefeller Center, and as for the issue of the shares of the real estate management company at that time, it will be negotiated after the successful acquisition, and as for the management, Li Feng's real estate company will come forward to manage it.
……
Li Feng is very satisfied with this result, and has a relationship with the Rockefeller family, which is a lot closer, although Li Feng now looks down on these old consortium families in his heart.
Although the family actually controls enough wealth, it is clear that the family's assets are not as much as outsiders think.
Regarding the so-called rumors about the Rockefeller family, the Morgan family, the Rothschild family, and the hundreds of billions or trillions of family assets on the Internet in later generations, Li Feng can now tell future generations with certainty that these are just rumors.
Most of the assets of these families are in the family trust fund, maybe there are tens of billions, but if you want the legendary tens of trillions, then you can dream.
Naturally, after Li Feng clearly understood the situation of these consortia at the beginning, he was actually relieved, after all, if it was really like the legend of later generations, how could the latecomers do it.
Naturally, it can't be underestimated, after all, the accumulation of several generations, and there are always some people in each generation who can become political and economic things that affect the whole United States, and the influence is indeed a bit terrifying.
Of course, you can't trust and rely on people too much, Li Feng believes that if your career conflicts with other people's family business, these people may turn their faces and deny people, and you need to be hard to strike iron, which is the last word.
……
After the acquisition, the Rockefeller Center will be renamed the "Rockefeller-Century Center", and last night the old guy Davy thought that when the acquisition was completed, the name should not be changed.
It's a pity, who is Li Feng, people think that after a few hundred years, he is also a figure who wants to be famous in history, how can he not change his name after he has acquired it.
Naturally, it won a burst of beard and glaring from old David, but unfortunately, Li Feng directly ignored it, and finally settled down in Old David's complaint that he really didn't understand the Chinese tradition of respecting the old and loving the young.
However, considering the actual situation, in the end, the name of the group was added to the back, and the name of Rockefeller was put first, which can be regarded as giving people face.
The previous Empire State Building added the century to the front and became the 'Century Empire State Building', and now more and more people call the Empire State Building the Century Empire State Building, which has virtually expanded the influence of their Century Group.
Faced with such a scene now, Kenny appeared in front of Li Feng early in the morning with several Rockefeller family children, as well as a small team of lawyers, asset managers, and business negotiators.
……
"Kenny, you're really, weren't you in the UAE yesterday, why did you show up in New York early in the morning? Looking at Kenny who came to Li Feng's villa early in the morning with a smile on his face, Li Feng asked speechlessly.
"John, I don't blame you, just because I got acquainted with you, you don't know how miserable I am, I was already on the road when I called last night, and then flew directly for a night, and rushed to New York early in the morning, and before I had time to eat breakfast, I was kicked out, how miserable you said I was. ”
After speaking, he sat directly on Li Feng's table and ate breakfast unceremoniously, while eating, he also said that Li Feng's Chinese chef was at a good level, and his comments were quite authentic, which made Li Feng speechless for a while.
"Why, all of you guys came to help me lower the price today?"
"John, you just dream, if we can lower the price from Goldman Sachs, there is nothing to do with you today, we will go and see it this time, and by the way, we will give you a staff officer.
As for these members of my family, the old guys in the family said that they should come to see and see, saying that they would see how little John talked about business, they are all very old, and they are still eating and waiting to die, not even a 16-year-old boy in the family. ”
Listening to Kenny imitating the old-fashioned words of the old guy at home, and the embarrassed expressions of several Rockefeller family children around him, it suddenly made the scene funny.
……
Similarly, Yang Zhiyuan, who was also in New York and was interviewed by many media magazines, was also asked many questions about Li Feng, especially asking whether Li Feng's visit to Goldman Sachs meant that the companies under Li Feng's name were also preparing to go public, which made Yang Zhiyuan depressed for a while.
The good Yahoo propaganda was disrupted by Li Feng again, and naturally, Yang Zhiyuan's call came again early in the morning, complaining again about Li Feng's ability to steal the scene.
After the meal, Li Feng and his entourage headed towards the Goldman Sachs headquarters again, this time the team expanded, after all, there were more children of the Rockefeller family and their entourage. Naturally, the media would not let Li Feng go, which led to the formation of a long motorcade when the group went to the headquarters of Goldman Sachs, which became a beautiful scenery on the streets of Manhattan.
Henry Paulson appeared under the building again and personally greeted Li Feng and his party, not at all surprised that Kenny and the Rockefeller family were involved, and greeted them very familiarly.
In this regard, both Li Feng and Kenny know that New York City is so big, and any wind and grass is very clear to Wall Street predators like Goldman Sachs.
In the face of Li Feng and the joint team of the Rockefeller family, Goldman Sachs sat firmly in Diaoyutai, and the day's dispute passed again, from the increase and decrease of 5 million at the beginning to the increase and decrease of the last million, showing that the negotiation price between the two sides has become closer and closer.
1.55 billion, this is the offer between Adam and Goldman Sachs, but Goldman Sachs insisted on 1.65 billion, looking at the two sides who were still arguing, Li Feng felt a little bored.
……
To be honest, Li Feng is really not good at this kind of negotiation, and for these professional managers, this really highlights their ability, so the negotiation is very intense.
"Mr. Paulson, it's pretty much the same now, in fact, the market value of the 14 buildings in Rockefeller Center today, everybody knows what the market value is, $1.5 billion, but considering the actual situation, we're now bidding $1.55 billion.
So, I'm in charge of $1.6 billion, and we're going to buy it at a premium of about 8%, and that's my final offer.
You should know that I didn't buy Rockefeller Center because he was really valuable or anything, but because he had the influence to expand my Century Group around the world, and naturally, we wouldn't bid blindly. ”
Li Feng knows that the real estate industry will be rising in the next 10 years, and at least he will not lose money if he acquires this time, as for making money, he really doesn't make money in Li Feng's heart, and there are many opportunities to make money.
Today's billions of dollars, whether invested in the stock market or the Internet, can be invested far beyond investing in Rockefeller Center.
But after all, the influence of the Rockefeller Center is huge, and Li Feng's company is too low in terms of influence because it has been established for too short a time, and there is already a precedent for the Empire State Building before, Li Feng believes that if the Rockefeller Center acquires again, it will make Li Feng's Century Group really gain a firm foothold.
Anyway, it's all bank money, and it's all 3-5 year loans, and when Li Feng cashes out a little bit on the stock market, he can pay it off, and such assets become his own real estate but it is the best wealth accumulation, why not!
