Chapter 330: $20 billion
Verga said slowly: "Since you also know the strategy of the Addams family in the business world, then the Addams family's cooperation with you is still this strategy.
So the Addams family's request is $2 billion a year for at least 10 years, and in exchange, the Addams family will help you in politics as much as possible.
We don't dare to say that we will help you completely, because the future is too unpredictable, and if you are hostile to most of the forces, it is impossible for us to help you, and we need to consider the interests of the entire Addams family.
Of course, I'm talking as much as possible and absolutely as possible, and I won't perfunctory you, supervised by the centuries-old history of our Addams family. ”
Xu Qing is digesting Virga's words, 2 billion US dollars per year, 10 years, that is to say, in the next 10 years, Xu Qing will bring at least 20 billion US dollars to the Adams family.
Is $20 billion a lot of benefits? To be honest, it is not much, and the interests involved in the cooperation between many major forces are at least $10 billion, and there are also hundreds of billions of dollars.
For the big powers, billions of dollars are meaningful, and how can they start with tens of billions of dollars.
However, the cooperation between Xu Qing and the Adams family is a bit special, the $20 billion is taken out by Xu Qing, and the cooperation of other big forces is jointly taken out by both parties.
Now Xu Qing can choose to agree or not, and if he doesn't agree, the two sides will not tear their faces.
In fact, before coming here, Xu Qing also set a bottom line, that is, he can come up with a maximum of 5 billion US dollars a year, and the total amount is up to 50 billion US dollars.
Both sides have an assessment that the Addams family believes that if Xu Qing can come up with $20 billion, it is worth them to help Xu Qing as much as possible, while Xu Qing believes that the value of the help that the Addams family brings to him can reach $50 billion.
Xu Qing sees the strength of the Adams family in the political circles of the United States, and the biggest obstacle to Xu Qing's development in the United States is the political circles.
Xu Qing in the business world is not afraid, whether it is fair competition or conspiracy and trickery, Xu Qing can accept it, if he is really defeated by other forces using the methods of the business world, Xu Qing will admit it.
What Xu Qing is really afraid of is the attack from the political circles, which is too difficult to resist, and they can make you uncomfortable with any excuse.
The real reason why Xu Qing and the Addams family worked together was to put him in an environment that was as fair as possible.
Otherwise, the political and business circles would work together to deal with Xu Qing, and Xu Qing would not be able to resist at all.
Of course, even if he cooperates with the Addams family, it does not mean that Xu Qing will not be attacked from the political circles.
But at least they can have some fears, and then Xu Qing will get time to develop and cooperate with more political forces, and then Xu Qing will be attacked less and less by the political circles.
This is Xu Qing's ideal development path, but whether it can be implemented smoothly, Xu Qing does not dare to guarantee.
Now that the Adams family has made a request that is less than half of Xu Qing's bottom line, Xu Qing can choose to agree.
But before agreeing, it can't be too easy, otherwise it will give Weijia a feeling that $20 billion is a small amount of money, although $20 billion is indeed a small amount of money for Xu Qing in the next 10 years.
Xu Qing It's time to play the Oscar actor again, I saw that he had an embarrassed face, and said in a hesitant tone:
"Mr. Virga, $20 billion is a bit much, and now my net worth is only more than $30 billion, and most of my net worth is fixed assets and company shares, so it's too difficult for me to come up with $20 billion!"
Virga smiled: "Mr. Xu, 20 billion US dollars is not for you to take out all at once, but in 10 years, 2 billion US dollars per year, which is not difficult for Mr. Xu's net worth of tens of billions of dollars." ”
Verga smiled, but he was a little apprehensive because he felt that $20 billion was too much.
Although it is divided into 10 years, 2 billion US dollars per year, 2 billion US dollars is enough to rank in the top 50 of the Forbes American rich list, which is a lot.
He was afraid that Xu Qing would not agree to the figure of 20 billion US dollars, so he once suggested that the patriarch lower the amount a little, but the patriarch firmly chose 20 billion US dollars, and he could only increase it but not lower it.
The patriarch told him that the reason why he chose $20 billion was because the Addams family was short of money.
The Adams family's source of money is mainly in the traditional industry, and the profits of the traditional industry have become lower and lower over the years, and there are losses from time to time, and a loss is a big loss.
Although it is relatively easy to make money in the business world with the strength of the Addams family in politics, this does not mean that you can definitely make money and not lose money.
Because the United States is a country where capital is king, the strength of capital is no less than that of politics.
If you want to make money easily, how can other forces easily agree, because the cake is so big, if you eat more cake, others will eat less.
Unless the pie can get bigger and bigger.
If he can really cooperate with Xu Qing, 2 billion US dollars a year can greatly alleviate the lack of money for the Addams family.
Xu Qing continued to look embarrassed: "It can't be calculated like this, although I have a net worth of tens of billions of dollars, I can't even take out $2 billion in cash."
And my net worth is closely linked to my company, and now my company is in a period of rapid development, and if I siphon money away, it will be very detrimental to the development of the company.
In this way, my net worth will be greatly reduced, and there will be no point in me working with the Addams family. ”
Verga looked at Xu Qing with a little surprise, it was very difficult, and his words were reasonable, so he couldn't refute it.
However, Virga must have insisted on $20 billion unwaveringly, and continued to smile:
"We think the help you have received from the Addams family is worth $20 billion, but of course, not every force has to involve tens of billions of dollars in cooperation with the Addams family.
But we don't think it makes sense for either of us to work with you, less than $20 billion, and it's a 10-year partnership for the Addams family.
And because of your Chinese identity, under the same conditions, it costs more to cooperate with you than to cooperate with white forces.
For you, your strength in politics is weak, and you need the Addams family to provide $20 billion in help, and billions of dollars don't help.
Do you still think $20 billion is a lot?"
After listening to Virga's words, Xu Qing sighed that this guy's speaking skills were so powerful, it was difficult to refute.
However, Xu Qing must have insisted on the Oscar-winning actor's performance unwaveringly, and continued to say with a sad face:
"You have a point, but you ignore the important fact that the Addams family chose $20 billion because they thought I could afford to come up with it.
But if I really take it out, the development of my company will be affected, and maybe in a few years, I won't be able to come up with the rest of the money, which is not a good thing for both parties.
Both sides want the cooperation to be stable, hello me, hello everyone, but $20 billion is likely to lead to instability. ”
Hearing Xu Qing's words, Verga retorted again.
Then Xu Qing heard Verga's words and refuted again.
The two sides went back and forth and refuted each other several times.
No one can convince anyone.
