Anne Hathaway hung up.
Zhang Wei pulled the chair to the side of the bed and asked, "Why are you sad?" He couldn't say that he had eavesdropped on someone else's phone.
Anne Hathaway smiled reluctantly: "It's nothing, it's just that my dad borrowed some money from me, he is a little short of money, and I may have to go out once tomorrow and cash out the NASDAQ stock." ”
Zhang Wei blinked and led the topic: "He is still short of money for being such a barrister?"
"He wants to buy a law firm. She said.
Zhang Wei asked, "Uh, how much is this law firm?"
Anne Hathaway sat cross-legged on the bed, propped her chin and said, "Then I don't know." ”
Come on, I just told you on the phone how much money you lack, why are you embarrassed to say?
As soon as Zhang Wei saw it, he began to think about how to get Anne Hathaway to take the initiative to borrow money, "You say, it takes a lot of money to buy a law firm, and it can't be done without millions of dollars, right?"
"Pretty much. Anne Hathaway smiled, "I don't understand business either. ”
Zhang Wei got up from his chair and sat beside her, "If your father is really short of money, maybe I can help, millions of dollars may be a huge amount of money for ordinary people, but it is nothing to me, do you think about it?"
Anne Hathaway bit her lip, "I can't afford it yet." ”
"Hey, what do you want you to exchange for this money, speaking of which, I lent it to your father, not to you. Zhang Wei actually went to her face, "Your father is such a famous lawyer, he can't even pay back a few million, right?"
Anne Hathaway nodded slightly, "You have a point. ”
Sitting here, Zhang Wei analyzed from beginning to end, it was nothing more than Anne Hathaway's father needed money, don't think too much at this time, otherwise her father's favored law firm was robbed by others, and she couldn't find such a good law firm next time.
While chatting, he casually texted Zheng Wen, and then asked Anne Hathaway where her father was now.
……
Manhattan.
Cadwalader Law Firm.
It was already dark outside, and Anne Hathaway's father, Gerard Hathaway, was eyeing a few rivals, while Leonard, the owner of the firm as the main seller, was watching with interest as the crowd raised the price.
"Mr. Leonard, Cadwalader is one of the world's leading international financial institutions and corporate counsel with a long history of more than 500 lawyers in eight offices in New York, London, Charlotte, Washington, Houston, Beijing, Hong Kong and Brussels, providing innovative legal services in areas such as antitrust, banking, insolvency, commercial fraud, corporate finance, corporate governance, energy and commodities, environmental, healthcare, I am willing to bid $10 million for Insurance, Intellectual Property, Investment Funds, Litigation, Mergers & Acquisitions, Municipal Finance, Private Equity, Private Wealth, Real Estate, Regulatory, Restructuring, Securitization, Structured Finance and Tax. ”
Gerald was anxious when he saw it, "Mr. Leonard, we have negotiated 12 million dollars before, you must not promise anyone else, give me a few more days, I promise to get the money together." ”
He was anxious, he had just opened his mouth to borrow money from his daughter, but he didn't expect to receive a notice from Leonard that there were several competitors who wanted to bid for it, Gerald didn't know whether Leonard was going to raise the price or be in a hurry to ask for money, but he urgently needed to take down a law firm to show Baker McKenzie and the bastards, he Gerald left the same prestige!
Leonard looked at the black man, smoking a cigar and shaking his head slightly, "Ten million is a little less." ”
Again, the black lawyer said, "But I can give you the money tonight, Mr. Leonard, you may consider it." ”
Gerald frowned, anxious, he only had nine million dollars in cash in his hand now, if Leonard agreed, then his plan to buy Cadwalader Law Firm would fall through, his team of twenty or thirty people was waiting to be raised, he couldn't afford it!
Didi, Gerald's mobile phone text rang, he picked it up and looked at it, it was his daughter who asked him where he was, replied to the address casually, and then put down the phone.
But at this moment, another chubby white gold medal lawyer spoke, "Mr. Leonard, I can also give money tonight, and an extra 500,000 US dollars, this is my limit." ”
Another contender!
, do you still have humanity?
Gerald was very angry and anxious, looking at Leonard's heartbeat, he estimated that the other party was really anxious to sell Cadwalader Law Firm, in fact, the main reason was that he had also heard of it, it seems that Leonard lost a lot of money on the NASDAQ a few days ago, and now he owes a lot of money outside, so he thinks about selling the law firm, after all, Leonard's main business is not legal services, but financial companies, and now the deficit must be to find a way to keep the financial company.
But I didn't expect so many people to be interested in this law firm, and they were willing to pay money directly on the spot, and now Gerald was afraid that Leonard would be in a hurry, so he bought the law firm on the spot, and he wanted to cry, so he was very anxious!
Leonard rubbed his temples and waved his hand with a cigar in his other hand, "I'll think about it, you guys wait." With that, he got up and walked towards the office.
As soon as he was gone, the remaining seven or eight people were silent.
Sitting on the sofa, Gerald's face was like water, and his heart was constantly at war.
The black man spoke up, "Hey, Gerald, why don't we take down this law firm together?"
The white gold medal lawyer suddenly looked bad and didn't speak.
Gerald was a little excited, "Lillard, how do you win it together?"
The black man said proudly: "I will give six million, you will give five million, I will take 60 percent of the shares, you will take 40 percent, how about it?"
Gerald bargained: "I'll pay six million, you give five million, I want absolute control, sixty percent." ”
The black man spread his hands and said, "No, I want a controlling stake." ”
Gerald saw that there was nothing to talk about, and the other party obviously didn't have enough money, but he now had less cash, and it was impossible for him to hand over the leadership of the law firm to others, he had worked for others for more than 20 years, and he didn't want to be subservient to others anymore, and taking 40% of the shares sounded like the second largest shareholder, but in fact, the power was still in the hands of others, he didn't want to!
About half an hour passed.
Leonard walked out of the office, came directly to the crowd, stood and said, "Mr. Gerald, twelve million, if you can take it out tomorrow, I will sell it to you, if not, then I will sell it to Mr. Kaiwei." “
The white man looked nervously at Gerald.
But Gerard said with a sad face, "I...... Can you give me another two or three days?"
Leonard shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I'm in dire need of money." ”
The white man breathed a long sigh of relief, stood up and said excitedly: "My money is ready to ......"
As soon as the words ended, the door of the law firm was pushed open from the outside.
A Chinese man with gold-rimmed glasses walked in from outside with a dozen people.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, someone still came to the door to talk about business at such a late hour?
Only Leonard was stunned at first, then smiled, and stepped forward to greet him: "Isn't this Mr. Zheng of Huajin Capital, I don't know what is the important thing for you to come?"
Gerald was looking down when he heard Joaquin Capital look up, then lowered his head again, this time the plan to buy Cadwalader Law Firm had failed.
The white man also stepped forward with a win, and laughed: "It turned out to be Mr. Zheng of Huajin Capital, do you want to talk about any business? I just finished talking to Mr. Leonard about the acquisition, do you have any business that you can discuss with me after we sign the contract?"
Who knows, Zheng Wen said something that made everyone stunned!
"Who's Gerard Hathaway?"
Yes?
Looking for Gerald?
Leonard and everyone looked at each other, what are you looking for Gerard so late? It seems that this Mr. Zheng, who has a lot of background, doesn't know Gerald yet, but he found it himself!
Gerald was also stunned for a moment, but still instinctively stood up, "Hello Mr. Zheng, I'm Gerald Hathaway. ”
Zheng Wen looked at it carefully and nodded with satisfaction, "Just find you, I'll send you money." ”
The black man smokes and the action is stagnant!
The white man is even more confused by the second monk!
Send money? The CEO of Joaquin Capital personally gives money to people? Just kidding! This is the CEO of Joaquin Capital, how could Gerald know him?
Gerald also heard in a fog, "What money?"
Zheng Wen smiled and led people forward, "Our boss heard that you are going to buy Cadwalader Law Firm, so I asked me to send a cash check for five million, but you have to promise to give us 30% of the shares of Huajin Capital, and become our special legal counsel of Huajin Capital in the future." ”
it!
5 million as long as 30% of the shares?
Everyone was shocked at the moment, this ......
The black man glanced at the white man's eyes with dark eyes, swallowed his saliva and said, "Zheng ...... Mr. Zheng, the boss you are talking about, is it the king of investment, Zhang?"
Zheng Wen said as a matter of course: "Of course, who else can make me the boss besides him?"
After it was confirmed, whether it was Leonard or everyone else present, there was an uproar!
"Oh God!"
"It turned out to be Zhonghua Zhang!"
"He's going to invest in Gerald?"
"What kind of shit luck is Gerald! It's so jealous to be favored by such a big guy!"
The black man looked at Gerald and showed his eyes that were already red with envy, just now he wanted to take advantage of Gerald and give 5 million to the other party 40% of the shares, but he didn't expect Joaquin Capital to be willing to provide Gerald with 5 million investments, and only 30% of the shares!
Leonard also opened his mouth slightly in disbelief, and asked: "Mr. Zheng, are you optimistic about the future of my law firm, so you invested in Gerald?" He even thought in his heart, as long as Zheng Wen really said this, he would immediately take back the sale, damn, this is Huajin Capital, the company that has been invested by Huajin Capital has not failed so far, not to mention that the small boss of Huajin Capital is the king of investment!
It's just that Zheng Wen's next words disappointed Leonard, "I'm sorry, our boss only let me invest in Mr. Gerald." ”
Hearing this, Gerard is going to faint with happiness!
Just now, he was about to despair, he didn't expect a peak to turn around! Not only did the peak turn around, it was simply pie in the sky! Who doesn't know how hot Joaquin Capital is now, and who doesn't know how accurate their boss's investment vision is, although he Gerald is well-known in the legal world, he can never compare with Joaquin Capital, let alone enter the eyes of the world-famous king of investment.
But!
Tonight!
It all happened!
As if in a dream, Gerald signed a contract with Leonard for the transfer of the company in the envious and jealous eyes of everyone.
By the time all this was done, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
Everyone has left, leaving only Leonard, Gerrard, and Zheng Wen's team.
Gerald couldn't wait to grab Zheng Wen, "Mr. Zheng, why did Zhang choose to take the initiative to invest in me?"
Leonard also looked over curiously.
Zheng Wen thought for a while and explained: "Our boss and your daughter are good friends, I heard that you want to buy a law firm, so I asked me to support it, he said this, no interest loan of three million, but I checked the information of Cadwalader Law Firm, and found that there was a lot to do, so I thought about five million to invest in 30 percent, and I told the boss about it, and he said let you choose one of the two." ”
Gerald smiled and froze, your sister! Didn't you say one of the two earlier! But after thinking about it, with Huajin Capital standing behind him, the law firm will not worry about business in the future, who doesn't know that Huajin Capital is an investment company, and now Huajin Capital has a stake in the law firm, and other companies invested under it in the future have legal affairs, and Huajin Capital must not think of Cadwalader Law Firm for the first time? He suddenly became excited, nobles help each other, noble people help each other!
And Leonard was heartbroken on the side, he didn't give birth to a good daughter, he didn't give birth to a good daughter, Gerald, this old boy has a good life, he has a good daughter!
……
Brandon Park Estate.
In the room, Anne Hathaway was a little sleepy, and was about to tell Zhang Wei that she wanted to sleep, when the mobile phone Didi message rang, she picked it up and looked, and then the whole person froze.
Zhang Wei didn't care, stood up and said, "It's not early, I'm going to sleep." ”
Anne Hathaway was still in a daze, and in the message, her father briefly told her what had happened, and asked to thank Zhang Wei for what? What did she thank? This is five million!
Quietly, take out five million!
What kind of friendship this is, what kind of boy this is!
Looking at the boy in front of her, who was a few years younger than herself, Anne Hathaway suddenly thought of those who pursued her in the past, there was no comparison at all, the boy in front of her may look very ordinary, but he was interesting, righteous enough for his friends, and more importantly, she had a little difficulty, and it was solved so quickly, there was no comparison! Those suitors couldn't even compare with one percent of the boy in front of her!
Sorry for the favor!
There are no sweet words, but Anne Hathaway can't help but be dizzy, five million just to help a friend, what kind of feelings is this?
Anne Hathaway closed her eyes and opened them again, "Why are you?"
Zhang Wei smiled and groaned: "Because you are my friend!"
After about a few seconds of silence, Anne Hathaway stepped forward and hugged Zhang Wei and kissed him fiercely!
"Hmm!" Zhang Wei was stunned, what does this mean?
After the kiss, Anne Hathaway smiled and said seriously: "Zhang, I'm willing to do anything for you!"
