Chapter 411: Embarrassed
Human beings are great because of their dreams, Lin Fan especially agrees with this sentence, if you don't even dare to dream, how can you take the first step towards success?
Four Seasons Hotel, headquartered in Toronto, Canada, is one of the world's most luxurious hotels. He came here to meet the contemporary head of Hearst, but meeting people at the hotel reminded Lin Fan of Hilton's world-famous hotel management family, whose heir is said to have lived in his own hotel all year round.
Rofhersmann is in his fifties, but he is still in good health, so he has always maintained a keen sense of the market. Since the beginning of the economic crisis, the United States has been experiencing a variety of incidents. But the most eye-catching thing is definitely a foreigner.
Lin Fan from Huaxia is making waves in the United States and buying everywhere, but what interests Rove the most is the recent means of Citibank, which dares to lend heavily in the economic crisis and has no way out.
The bigger people live, the more they know, the more cautious they are, although Lin Fan is the controlling shareholder of Citi, but who are the other shareholders of Citi, I am afraid I don't know and can guess. But Lin Fan was able to completely let Citi lend, does this mean that the financial crisis is really over?
Is it true that no one knows about the outbreak of the financial crisis? Will the big families who are in charge of many large financial institutions and manipulate many economic crises not know? The answer is clear.
Rove thought that Lin Fan must have gotten some inside information, otherwise how could he dare to be so bold, since the crisis was about to pass, then he had to use this opportunity to invest, he couldn't eat thick but he could drink some soup.
Lin Fan, followed by Tao Liang and others, slowly stepped into the door of the Four Seasons Hotel. The United States is a country with free guns, which makes Tao Liang and the escort team more cautious.
"Mr. Hearst?"
"Mr. Lin, please take a seat, can you eat, the catering at the Four Seasons Hotel is quite authentic." There was just one thing Hirst didn't say, Four Seasons never offered banquets to guests who didn't stay at the hotel, except for VIPs.
"It seems that Mr. Hearst is a regular here."
Lin Fan is no longer Wuxia Ameng, as long as there are things in this world that can be done on the surface, he can also do it. In this case, it is natural to be calm.
As long as Mr. Lin has a black card, he can also become a VIP of Four Seasons. And Citibank, which is under Mr. Lin's name, is qualified to issue black cards. ”
The two are not here to talk about business, but like to share life, and the black card comes from Europe and the United States, in order to provide services that distinguish large customers from ordinary customers. Banks in Huaxia have also launched similar black card services, but most of them only stipulate that the deposit amount is 10 million, the consumption amount is not less than 8 million, you can enjoy the private doctor service, and even your wife gives birth to a child, you can quickly arrange a tertiary hospital for you, as for helping you with a minimum of four people financial management team is the minimum standard.......
Lin Fan chose to get to the point on his own, "Hearst is undoubtedly one of the largest newspaper media groups in the world, and not only Citigroup, but also me, are happy to work with Hearst. ”
Hearst couldn't help but bow his head secretly, what he wanted here was to borrow a sum of money from Lin Fan for the group's expansion and acquisition. This Lin Fan was not as arrogant as he imagined, and he was so easy to speak.
"I admire Mr. Lin's generosity, I have heard of Mr. Lin's name before, but unfortunately Mr. Damon's banquet is mostly attended by financial tycoons, if Mr. Lin does not dislike it, I will hold a gathering of American newspapers in a few days, can Mr. Lin take the time to attend?"
This is Lin Fan's turn to be surprised, Rove said that the financial industry is a tycoon, in fact he is also a tycoon, especially in the United States, a world of free speech, Hirst, who owns many newspapers and magazines, has a very large influence in the political circles. The Hearst Group has 15 daily newspapers, 34 weekly magazines in the United States and more than 300 magazines around the world.
The most important thing is that since William Randolph Hirst founded the Hearst Group, the Hearst Group has always been a supporter of the Democratic Party, which is undoubtedly consistent with Lin Fan's political intentions in the United States.
Now Rove's invitation is undoubtedly to introduce Lin Fan into the circle of the media, with Hearst as the guide, and with Lin Fan's identity, he will definitely be able to expand his contacts soon.
"There is an old saying in Huaxia that cooperation is beneficial to both sides, and Hearst Group has been operating in the United States for 100 years and has huge network resources and influence. And I have the huge financial industry as a backing, once we work together, we will definitely be invincible. And I am here to assure him that I will never covet the Hearst Group. However, I think that since my husband was able to make this decision, he must have believed in my character. The road knows the horsepower, and the time will witness everything! ”
Lin Fan was full of arrogance here, and things went smoothly beyond Lin Fan's imagination. However, Lin Fan thinks about it and feels normal, his wealth is invincible, and he controls financial institutions like Citigroup, and he is about to take up the post of government economic adviser, and he has a good relationship with the American financial community, so it seems to be in the past.
But Rove heard something was wrong, coveting the Hearst Group? Rove suddenly remembered the message he got when he contacted Citi, if he wanted to get a loan of more than $1 billion, he had to let Lin Fan take a 20% stake in the family business. This news has been spread in the American financial circles, but Citibank has now become a private bank, and Lin Fan's move cannot be blamed.
Thinking of this, Luo Fu could only smile bitterly in his heart, Lin Fan was obviously full of interest in front of him, and he was only afraid that he would offend this person fiercely when he opened his mouth, but if he didn't say it, he was afraid that the offense would be deeper.
"Buying a stake in the Hearst Group, I plan to use my newspaper business to obtain the shares of the Hearst Group at a discount......."
"Sir, I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding between us......."
The two spoke almost at the same time, and Lin Fan immediately stopped, "Misunderstanding? What does sir mean? ”
Rove smiled bitterly, and he, an old man in his fifties, felt embarrassed, "Mr. Lin, I'm not ready to sell my family shares. ”
"What about you?"
"I just wanted to talk to Mr. Lin to see if I could get a higher share of the loan."
Lin Fan's face remained unchanged, but he was actually panicked, how could this be more than embarrassing? It's just embarrassing to open the door and embarrassed to get home.
Rove sighed, this still wants to take a bigger share of the loan? If you lose face with this person, I'm afraid you won't be able to get a loan at all. I blame myself for this mouth, what kind of misunderstanding is born in vain!
"It doesn't matter, I can accept any level of cooperation with the Hearst Group, after all, this is all business, and it doesn't matter whether to make a lot of money or a small profit." Lin Fan was the first to return to normal, if the field was allowed to cool down, I was afraid that the two of them would really have a bad heart.
Rove really went down the steps, "I admire Mr. Lin's open-mindedness. But just now, Mr. Lin said that he wanted to use his newspaper as the Hearst Group, what happened? ”
Lin Fan smiled generously, "I originally wanted to bargain with Mr., but since the cooperation failed, I didn't hide it, and I have also acquired three daily newspapers recently........
