Chapter 468: The Big Guy Who Wants to Be the Mayor (2-in-1)
It's just June, and it's a bit hot. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Chicago.
In the morning, outside the airport.
After finishing the affairs of the restaurant, Zhang Wei took a break to be busy with Joaquin Capital.
The bodyguards escorted him off the plane and walked out, and Zheng Wen walked over from the front.
Zheng Wen greeted him with a smile, "Xiaowei, you are finally here, the inland steel has urged several times and asked when we will go." ”
"What about the appraisal team?" Zhang Wei said as he walked, "Let's evaluate the actual value of inland steel today, and if it is suitable, invest 100 million yuan first." ”
Zheng Wendao: "The appraisal team should go to the Inland Steel Building, I specially came to pick you up, and the legal and appraisal teams are together." ”
"I'm going to Bethlehem Steel tomorrow, and I'll get the inland steel done today, by the way, how about Netscape's stock acquisition?" Zhang Wei walked to the airport gate.
"For the time being, about 35 percent of the shares were acquired, and now the stock price is stable, and there are not many people who sell, basically they can't buy it, unless those major shareholders are willing to sell their shares. Zheng Wen said distressedly, he seemed to think of something, "That Larry Page called to ask, and then hung up without saying anything." ”
From time to time, taxis pass by at the entrance of the airport, and crowds of people come and go, because the weather is hot, they all wear relatively little, and in this open country, girls are even more exposed. Zhang Wei looked at it a few more times, but he came back to his senses and focused on Zheng Wen's words, it was not Larry Page, but Google's Larry Page, what kind of value of Google in the future Needless to say, so to speak, if you give up Huajin Capital to get a large stake in Google Zhang Wei is also willing, after all, this is a super enterprise that has been competing with Apple for the world's first and most valuable company in the future!
However, these are not in a hurry for a while, he knows that the two founders of Google will not easily sell their shares, unless Google is in trouble or Huajin Capital shows great strength, these are not in a hurry, Zhang Wei is thinking about investing in two steel companies now, and then buying the Netscape that has been obsessed with it, Zheng Wen also said just now, Netscape's scattered shares are not easy to acquire, and if you want to get more shares, only those major shareholders sell their shares, how can you let those major shareholders sell their shares? It's not difficult, don't look at those shareholders who gritted their teeth at Zhang Wei before, and said that they wouldn't make a move if the shares were smashed in their hands, and if the market value of Netscape really plummeted again, it is estimated that they would rush to sell the shares.
Out.
Wait for the car to come by.
Zheng Wen just told Zhang Wei that Inland Iron and Steel sent a top car to greet him, showing enough sincerity, and now it is Inland Iron and Steel begging Zhang Wei to invest, naturally he will not be reluctant to treat the vehicle badly, to say something unpleasant, as long as Zhang Wei asks, not to mention the top car, even the helicopter inland steel is willing to rent to welcome, but Zhang Wei does not have that bad taste.
The extended Cadillac drove over.
Two white beauties in black professional attire got out of the car and stood left and right with smiles on their faces.
Zhang Wei was slightly stunned when he saw them, and looked back at Zheng Wen, "What is this for?"
Zheng Wen explained with a wry smile, in order to curry favor with Zhang Wei, Inland Steel specially made a big formation, and as he spoke, he also pointed to various tattooed men who walked back and forth from time to time around, these are all Chicago mafia people!
"Sir!"
"Distinguished guests!"
The two beauties are not respectful.
Zhang Wei shuddered for a moment, he almost forgot that this is the third largest city in the United States, and it is also a famous "underground city", in this cleanest city is not dominated by the government, but by those mafia, and even the mafia's bigwigs speak more effectively than the mayor, and those large enterprises are more or less connected with the mafia, when he thinks of this, he is not calm, if he finally does not invest in inland steel, can he still go out completely?
Zhang Wei stretched out his hand to pull the car door, "Uncle Zheng, get on the ......"
Before the words were spoken, a man in formal clothes got out of the passenger seat, and he smiled and said, "Dear Zhang, I'm Charles Baño, it's an honor to meet you." So saying, he ran over and opened the door.
Zhang Wei blinked at Zheng Wen and said in Mandarin: "Is he?"
"Mafia boss, get in the car first, and we'll talk about it later. Zheng Wen responded in Mandarin.
"Okay. Zhang Wei nodded at Charles and got into the car, not to mention, the mafia boss opened the door, which tasted quite sour.
The doors close gently.
Not long after, Charles also got into the car, and the two beauties sat on both sides of Zhang Wei and Zheng Wen on left and right, with a lot of space in the car and a refrigerator.
This is a top-notch luxury car, even if it is not as good as the president's Cadillac, it is more than a cut higher than other cars.
The car started slowly.
"Zhang, can I have a word with you?" Charles said, turning back.
Zhang Wei didn't know what he was going to say, "Please speak." ”
Charles was a little nervous, "Ispat told me you're a super rich man, so I want you to do me a favor, I don't know if you'd like to." Isparter is the Chairman and CEO of Inland Steel.
Zhang Wei said curiously: "What's the busy?" ”
Zheng Wen also looked at it curiously.
Charles took a breath and got to the point: "I will do my best to prepare for the next two years, and I want to elect the mayor of Chicago in two years, and you also know that the environment of our US imperialist election requires a large amount of money, can you please help me?"
Zhang Wei was a little dumbfounded, "Election?"
Charles said seriously: "I know that this is not a trivial matter, and the amount of money to be paid may reach tens of millions or even tens of millions of dollars, but the only guarantee I can guarantee is that if I can become the mayor of Chicago, you can move the company to Chicago, and it is possible to increase the assets several times or dozens of times!"
Speaking of this, Zhang Wei understands a little, many people think that the politicians of the US imperialists are all for the citizens, and there are even political officials who buy things for the affairs officers, and many people do not understand why the officials of the US imperialists are so generous, for example, the mayor of the US imperialists announced that the government's focus is on environmental protection, and the people spontaneously shoot propaganda films, is it good? The stocks of environmental protection enterprises are definitely not the business of the mayor's family to buy in advance? These are all legal, if this is done, will the enterprises be able to develop rapidly? That is for sure!
And this shocking welfare to ordinary people is only a small benefit for US imperialist politicians, and a status like the mayor of Chicago has the right to promote the formulation of laws and policies, and how many benefits are self-evident, right?
Mafia bigwigs who want to get into politics?
Zhang Wei feels interesting, but if this is really good for the future development of Huajin Capital, to put it mildly, if one day he is strong enough to push Charles to the position of president...... Forget it, don't think about it, he immediately decided: "I can agree to this, but you have to show the potential to become mayor, if you do a good job, I can't support you if you want to run for other places in the future." ”
When he said this, Zhang Wei's eyes inadvertently glanced at Charles.
Charles's heart jumped suddenly, and his eyes were firm: "Okay, then it's decided, I will definitely show you enough skills!"
That's the good thing about having money!
Zhang Wei didn't talk to Richard again, and he can be completely relieved to come to Chicago this time, with such a mafia boss begging him, the trip to Chicago is no problem at all.
After half an hour of driving, the car came to the downstairs of the Inland Steel Building.
Charles got out of the car and opened the door for Zhang Wei.
As soon as he got out of the car door, Zhang Wei was startled again, a row of men in black was standing there, and shouted in unison when they saw him!
"Welcome Zhang!"
"Welcome Zhang!"
These people are not people of inland steel at first glance, the only ones who are probably Charles's people.
Many pedestrians nearby watched this scene in amazement, what is the origin of the teenager and the young man walking towards the building? There are so many people who welcome it? The most important thing is that many people know the big guy Charles, it can be said that everyone knows Charles in Chicago, but it is such a big guy, he actually followed behind the two of them with some grovels, damn it, your origin is too terrifying!
Who are these two?
……
Inland Steel Building.
Twenty-fifth floor, reception room.
Zhang Wei propped his chin on his chin and looked at the scenery outside the window, and then took a sip of milk, just now he had seen all kinds of information about inland steel, and now the evaluation team has gone to the production area of inland steel. yawned, and Zhang Wei saw a pair of eyes in front of him who had been staring at him, and there was a flattering smile on his old face, this was Ispart, the chairman of Inland Steel.
Zheng Wen and Ispat were chatting.
Zhang Wei was too lazy to participate, and waited for the evaluation to come out.
Suddenly, the phone rang.
Zhang Wei said sorry and took out his mobile phone, and the dozen or so people who were talking around stopped their voices, quietly watched him call, and gave great respect.
One look at the number is my mother.
"Mom, what's wrong?" said Zhang Wei leaning back on the sofa.
Cheng Lin's voice on the other end of the phone was a little nervous, "Son, it seems that a liar has come to the door!"
Zhang Wei was stunned, "Liar? What do you mean?"
Cheng Lin lowered her voice, "Just now someone came to the door, claiming to be Michelin or something, and said that our restaurant was rated as a three-star and five-pronged restaurant, this person can't deceive people? ”
"Ahem. Zhang Wei couldn't cry or laugh, but he suddenly reacted, and was pleasantly surprised by his mother's words!
What did Mom just say?
Someone from Michelin came to the door?
It was also rated as a three-star and five-pronged restaurant!
You must know that the location of Michelin-starred restaurants is very sought-after, many restaurants have to arrange several meals a day, which means that there is a limit to the meal time, and the next wave of guests will be cleared to start the next wave, for example, if someone books a meal time, they basically have to arrive about ten minutes in advance, if they do not go to the scheduled time, the store can be regarded as taking the initiative to give up the meal, so that the restaurant is convenient to sit and can do more business!
The most important thing is that the three-star restaurant is the highest rating that Michelin can give, and when the red Michelin Guide comes out, the health restaurant will be world-renowned!
Whoever travels to Washington in the future will immediately think of a three-Michelin-starred restaurant here.
Earn a fortune!
Thank you Delhi!
Zhang Wei has never wanted to thank his opponent like now, well, he has thought about it, and when he goes back, he must come to the door to thank Delhi, as for Delhi's expression of dying or crying with a sad face, it is not within Zhang Wei's consideration.
"Mom, listen to me, this is not a liar. Zhang Wei hurriedly told his mother about Michelin, "Greet people well, and they will agree to any request, for example, the restaurant is not allowed to bring pets in, and everything is agreed, you must serve it well!"
Cheng Lin sighed, "Ouch, I almost kicked people out, I won't tell you first, I'll treat him well." ”
Hung up the phone.
Zhang Wei couldn't help but smile, turned his head to Zheng Wen and said, "Haven't you assessed it yet?" ”
Zheng Wen hummed, took out his mobile phone and called and asked.
Isparter looked at it and touted: "Zhang, the business is busy, and he deserves to be the boss of Huajin Capital!"
Charles, who was sitting on the side with Erlang's legs crossed, also preached: "Of course, Zhang Ke is a super-rich man with a net worth of billions!"
Zhang Wei was speechless for a while, but he also knew that the two of them were talking to themselves, so he changed the topic and said: "It's not business, my mother called, and told me that the restaurant she opened was rated as a three-star restaurant by Michelin." ”
"A three-Michelin-starred restaurant?"
"There are only seventy or eighty in the world!"
"Zhang is so powerful, he is so good at being a venture capitalist, and the restaurant at home is so high-grade!"
More than a dozen people couldn't help but marvel, they were all high-class people, and naturally knew how valuable a three-star Michelin restaurant was.
Charles looked at Zhang Wei with more respect, although the Michelin score is secretly sending food detectives, but being able to be judged by Michelin is such an extremely demanding three-star restaurant, which is enough to show how much money this restaurant invests.
Isparter said enviously: "The success of your family makes people can't help but reverie, I always thought that Joaquin Capital was all, but I didn't expect to open a restaurant!"
Zheng Wengang hung up the phone, and when he heard this, he said with a smile: "This is nothing, our boss family's business in China is much more valuable than Huajin Capital." ”
The eyes of everyone present widened at this moment!
Much more valuable than Joaquin Capital?
The eyes they looked at Zhang Wei completely changed, how big is this young man's family?
Charles is even more determined to hug Zhang Wei's thighs, if there is such a rich family support, and with his connections in Chicago, the possibility of becoming the mayor of the city has reached 80%!
Ispart's reaction is the same, now Zhang Wei is the gold owner, the stronger the gold owner, the greater the help to the inland steel!
There was a little chat.
Mace, the head of the assessment team, and Inland Steel's executive director walked in.
As soon as he came in, Mace leaned into Zhang Wei's ear and said: "Boss, after our professional evaluation, the actual value of inland steel is about 1.5 billion, but the market value is only 965 million, you can press the price more." ”
There is a difference between the actual value and the market value, Zhang Wei understands this truth, the market value is the price reflected in the stock market, and the actual value is evaluated according to the all-round assessment, he thought for a while, and said: "Mr. Ispart, just now the people from my company's appraisal team told me that the market value of your company is only 965 million, and you are only willing to pay 10% of the shares in exchange for 100 million US dollars, I am a little lost!"
Everyone else stopped talking!
Isparter immediately shouted: "The market value does not reflect the value of our company, the actual value of our company ......"
"No, no!" Zhang Wei interrupted him, shook his hand, and said: "Even if your company is actually worth 10 billion, if the market value is only 1 billion, do you think others will spend 5 billion to acquire it? Even if the hostile takeover costs about 2 billion at most, do you understand what I mean?"
Zheng Wen also followed: "I think 100 million percent is too little. ”
Isparter and the company's top management looked at each other and smiled wryly, if they usually refused, but now Inland Steel really can't sustain itself without funds.
On the other hand, they were also shocked by Zhang Wei's family financial resources, and vaguely knew that Zhang Wei's family had huge energy in China, China is a big exporter of crude steel, and similarly, it is also a big importer of special steel.
Ispat they also want to thank Zhang Wei for just pulling up the Michelin restaurant, and Zheng Wenshun provided an important information.
"Let's talk about it. "Ispat didn't make a decision quickly.
Zhang Wei stretched out his hand and said, "Please!"
Isparter stood up and whispered to the other higher-ups.
"What do you say?"
"Listen to their conditions!"
"Don't say yes without going too far!"
Many of these top executives are shareholders, and they can approve as long as they say yes.
After a while, we discussed.
Isparter returned to his position and asked, "Zhang, tell me about the conditions, let's hear if it's suitable." ”
Zhang Wei and Zheng Wen glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "100 million, 15% of the shares!"
Zheng Wen nodded and said, "That's pretty much it." ”
"Fifteen shares are too much!" Isparter refused without hesitation.
Zhang Wei threw the question back without hurrying, "Then how many shares do you think is appropriate?"
Ispart's eyes swept twice at the higher-ups, and he said firmly, "Eleven." ”
Zheng Wen immediately shook his head, "Eleven percent is too little." ”
Zhang Wei knocked on the table, "I won't waste more words with you, in this way, everyone can compromise, 13% of the shares, can promise 100 million yuan to the inland steel account tomorrow, and can't promise to talk about it at another time." ”
The mouth is saying that we will talk about it later, but the top management of Isparte and Inland Steel understand that this is Zhang Wei's bottom line.
Isparter felt that this request was not excessive, and took the opportunity to make a request: "Thirteen percent is not impossible to agree, but we have a request. ”
"What are the requirements?" said Zhang Wei.
One of the female executives flashed in her eyes and said: "We need your help to open the Chinese market, of course, the requirements will not be excessive, only the export of special steel." ”
Zhang Wei thought about it for a while, special steel is indeed in short supply in China, and he can do it with his own connections, and immediately said: "Then it's decided!"
Isparti was overjoyed, "Get the contract!"
Zhang Wei also turned his head to Zheng Wen and said, "Call the legal counsel in to sign the contract." ”
Zheng Wen stood up with a smile and went to call the legal affairs.
First of all, Charles leaned up and said that he wanted to participate in the Chicago mayoral race, if he invested in him, and when Charles became the mayor of Chicago in the future, then the relocation of Huajin Capital must have developed particularly rapidly, and it was really easy to increase the assets several times.
On the other hand, I finally took a stake in inland steel, which has an absolute advantage in the future to acquire, and then I will get one or two steel mills with some scale losses, reorganize and list and operate, and you can make a lot of money!
Of course, the most satisfying thing for Zhang Wei is that he passed the Michelin star selection, he knew for the first time that doing high-end restaurants can be so profitable, as long as the restaurant has a reputation, open a few more in the big cities of the United States and the United States, and it is easy to earn hundreds of millions of dollars when he is young!
It's all a beautiful knife!
Now the value of the knife is more than eight times that of RMB!
Zhang Wei is more and more confident in the future, Huajin Capital is getting bigger and bigger, and it is very likely that he wants to become one of the world's top 500 companies this year. (To be continued.) )
