Chapter 468: Negotiations Begin
An hour later, in the box of a high-end café in Lujiazui, Zhang Siyuan sat opposite Li Chaoren, and Li Ershao was waiting outside.
Before Li Chaoren and the others arrived, Zhang Siyuan had been struggling with how to call Li Chaoren. Originally, Li Ershao didn't come, and Zhang Siyuan was going to officially call Li Superman, but Li Ershao came, so Zhang Siyuan began to be entangled. He and Li Ershao are brothers, if you call Li Superman Li Dong, it will be too foreign, and calling Uncle Li feels too much friendship.
It's just that as soon as Li Ershao arrived here, he solved the problem that Zhang Siyuan had been thinking about for an hour. After Li Ershao met Zhang Siyuan under the office building rented by Times Real Estate, he said to Zhang Siyuan: "My Dady is in the car, you can call him uncle directly, otherwise he will say that you are outside." Besides, let's find another place to talk. There are too many people in your office building, and the personnel situation is relatively complicated, so I'm afraid there will be some accidents. ”
Zhang Siyuan naturally would not refuse Li Ershao's proposal, after all, with Li Chaoren's popularity, it can basically be said that there are few people in the whole of China who do not know him. This office building is not owned by Times Real Estate itself, and Zhang Siyuan cannot guarantee security issues. If Li Chaoren caused a sensation here and caused any mistakes, Zhang Siyuan felt that he could not bear this responsibility. According to Li Ershao's suggestion, after calling Zhang Junkui to ask, he took Li Chaoren and them to a high-end café near Lujiazui.
After entering the box, Li Ershao introduced Zhang Siyuan and Li Chaoren to each other and walked out of the box. This time it was Li Chaoren and Zhang Siyuan who talked about cooperation, although he was Li Chaoren's son and had a good relationship with Zhang Siyuan, but after all, he did not work in any company. Coupled with Li Ershao's relationship with the two of them, it was not very good in it when they were talking about things. In case of any dispute, then he will be the most embarrassed.
After a laughing and chatting for a while, Zhang Siyuan and Li Chaoren finally talked about the theme of today's meeting, which is the cooperation between Li Chaoren and Li Chaoren's investment in the real estate industry in the mainland. At first, the two of them chatted just to get acquainted with each other a little bit, so that they could talk well in the next negotiations.
Li Chaoren took out a document from the briefcase on the table and handed it to Zhang Siyuan, and said with a smile: "Siyuan, this is a cooperation plan made by my side, you can see what the problem is." If you have any questions, you can ask them directly, and we will negotiate again. ”
Zhang Siyuan took the plan made by the people in Li Chaoren's company from Li Chaoren's hands with both hands, took it in his hand and slowly flipped it up. This is not a report of Times Technology, basically there is no problem, just take a look at it. This plan involves a large investment in two companies, and Zhang Siyuan naturally looks at it sentence by sentence.
When reading the plan document, Zhang Siyuan's brows furrowed for a while and loosened for a while. By the time Zhang Siyuan finished reading the plan document, forty minutes had passed.
When Zhang Siyuan was reading the plan document, Li Chaoren was also observing Zhang Siyuan all the time. He had only investigated Zhang Siyuan before, and he had also seen Zhang Siyuan on the news. So I have some understanding of Zhang Siyuan, but it is better to look at a person in person than to investigate any matter what, Zhang Siyuan's attitude of reading the plan makes Li Chaoren nod constantly.
Seeing that Zhang Siyuan had finished reading it, Li Chaoren asked Zhang Siyuan: "Siyuan, how is it? This plan is okay, right?"
Zhang Siyuan pondered for a while, then raised his head and said, "Uncle Li, the plan is okay, but I think there are some problems with some cooperation terms. ”
"Oh, tell me about it. Li Chaoren said.
Li Chaoren is not afraid that Zhang Siyuan will not find fault, if Zhang Siyuan does not find any fault, then Li Chaoren is really a little scared. After all, this plan was made completely on his side, and the interests of his side were maximized. It can be said that the interests of Zhang Siyuan's side have been compressed to a minimum, if Zhang Siyuan doesn't care, then Li Chaoren needs to think about whether Zhang Siyuan really cooperates sincerely, or just perfunctory.
Zhang Siyuan spread out the plan on the table, pointed to the first one and said, "Uncle Li, we are cooperative." Changjiang Group's stake in Times Real Estate is a good thing on the surface. It saves us a lot of time, and we have a ready-made company that can start various projects directly. It's just that Times Technology is my private company, and it belongs to a very important position in my industry. I am not prepared to solicit funds from outside Times Real Estate, and I have enough funds to maintain the development of Times Real Estate. Moreover, the main business of Times Real Estate is commercial real estate, and I am not prepared to let Times Real Estate get involved in residential buildings too much. ”
"Then what do you mean?" Li Chaoren did not refute Zhang Siyuan, but wanted to hear Zhang Siyuan's thoughts.
Zhang Siyuan said with a smile: "I hope to establish a new company jointly funded by Changjiang Group and Times Real Estate." Then we will negotiate our respective responsibilities according to the amount of contribution, which will be beneficial to us. After all, this cooperation is a cooperation between two companies, and the cooperation is carried out from an equal perspective. Changjiang Group took a stake in Times Real Estate, and the nature changed. ”
"This can be there. Li Chaoren agreed without thinking about it, and Li Chaoren just wanted to try the first article of this cooperation agreement, and he didn't expect Zhang Siyuan to agree at all.
According to Zhang Siyuan, the first principle of cooperation between the two companies is equal status. If it is said that the Changjiang Group has a stake in Times Real Estate, then the nature will change. And according to Li Chaoren's understanding of Zhang Siyuan, Zhang Siyuan's possessiveness is particularly strong. The companies owned by Zhang Siyuan before were particularly interested in shares. Except for Sohu, which is a historical legacy, it is almost impossible for outsiders to get the shares of other companies from him, unless something happens.
For thinking about directly investing in Times Real Estate, Li Chaoren didn't think it was too complicated. It's just that Zhang Siyuan attaches great importance to Times Real Estate, if he is a shareholder of Times Real Estate, then if there is anything, Zhang Siyuan will definitely do his best to help. After all, the main reason why Li Chaoren is looking for a partner in the mainland is to find a strong enough partner to solve a certain aspect of trouble.
Hearing Li Chaoren say yes, Zhang Siyuan continued: "Since we have reached the first agreement, the next thing we should discuss is the proportion of capital contribution." ”
Regarding the first article on the plan document, Zhang Siyuan disagreed from the bottom of his heart. No matter what kind of cooperation it is, it is impossible for him to let the shares of Times Real Estate outflow. Although it does not indicate how much capital is injected by Changjiang Group, Zhang Siyuan knows that he must occupy a dominant position without thinking about it, and at the very least, it will be about the same proportion, which is an impossible condition for Zhang Siyuan to agree.
Based on Zhang Siyuan's understanding of the changes in real estate in the next ten years, the value of Times Real Estate can create a richest man in China. To give away the shares is to give the money out. Even if you may make more money, but then you have to divide some of it, and you can't take it all yourself.
Li Chaoren put aside the plan spread out on the table, and said solemnly: "Since the first article of the cooperation agreement is no longer suitable, then the following articles of the cooperation agreement are meaningless, let's talk about something else." Contribution ratio, you first tell me what you think, and then I will talk about my thoughts. ”
Zhang Siyuan did not refuse, and said with a smile: "If you make a contribution, it will definitely be the Yangtze River Group that accounts for the majority, and Times Real Estate accounts for the small one." After all, this cooperation was proposed by the Changjiang Group, and the leader must be the Changjiang Group, and I think you must have no objection to this Uncle Li. So the most important thing now is, how much is the Changjiang Group going to spend and how much of the new company will it occupy?
Li Chaoren nodded: "The Changjiang Group is tentatively set to be an initial investment of 8 billion yuan, as for the amount of shares, it depends on how much Siyuan you are prepared to invest? Of course, if it is too little, there is no need for us to continue talking." ”
Of course, Li Chaoren is not joking at this point, although he values Zhang Siyuan's unknown background, but when it comes to company issues, he will not be purely emotional. If Zhang Siyuan contributed very little, then Li Chaoren felt that there was no need to talk to Zhang Siyuan. Because Li Chaoren knows that Zhang Siyuan currently has billions of funds in his hands, Zhang Siyuan will be insincere if he contributes very little.
Zhang Siyuan smiled: "Eight billion yuan, Uncle Li's stroke is a bit big." If I hadn't transferred my stake in Sohu, I think I would have been able to leave by now. Now that Uncle Li has already said this, I won't say anything more. Times Real Estate invested 2 billion yuan, so the total investment of the new company is exactly 10 billion yuan, the Yangtze River Group accounts for 80 percent of the shares, and Times Real Estate accounts for 20 percent of the shares, what do you think?"
Zhang Siyuan was really a little surprised by Li Chaoren's generosity. Zhang Siyuan didn't expect that Li Chaoren would be an investment of 8 billion yuan as soon as he made a move. To know the investment of eight billion, how much can be done. But Li Chaoren said this number without blinking his eyes, to be honest, although Zhang Siyuan is very rich now, but the use of money involves 100 million units, Zhang Siyuan is still a little shocked in his heart, let alone billions at once.
After all, all of Zhang Siyuan's investments outside were invested by other people's hands. He just transferred an account, not by himself. Now that he has invested two billion yuan in a word, Zhang Siyuan is still a little empty in his heart.
What Zhang Siyuan didn't expect was that Li Chaoren shook his head after hearing it: "You contributed 2 billion yuan, accounting for 21 percent of the shares, and the Changjiang Group accounted for 79 percent of the shares." ”
