Chapter 505: Randall's Ambition
Cheng Dazhuang can be said to have admired Mai Guoji for a long time, and Mai Guoji can also be said to have been absent for a long time for Cheng Dazhuang, who is famous in the imperial capital.
The two have met on many occasions, but at that time, they were all at a drinking party or party held by others, and everyone was a nodding acquaintance, and they were not very familiar.
Mak Kwok Kee's current company is the fourth uncle's Henderson Group, a branch in the mainland, but after so many years of hard work and development, now the branch in the mainland has actually become a comprehensive group involving real estate, hotels, logistics and comprehensive shopping malls, etc., in terms of scale, it is not much worse than the headquarters in Hong Kong.
And Cheng Dazhuang's company, if compared with Mai Guoji's Henderson Group, is simply the difference between an aircraft carrier and a small sampan.
But when it comes to the profitability of his Tuohai company, Cheng Dazhuang's Tuohai is not much worse than Mai Guoji's Henderson Continental Branch.
Because Cheng Dazhuang relies on internal relationships, the money he earns, and a lot of business is playing side balls, such a business is often very risky, but the rewards are not small.
For example, Cheng Dazhuang's previous transaction was the acquisition of Australia's iron ore, as long as he succeeded, he would sell the company to a giant state-owned enterprise in the steel industry, and he was just a second-tier dealer in the middle, but he made a lot of money at all
But it's a pity that he made a bottom on that investment, and he was played very badly by Australia
Mai Guoji and Cheng Dazhuang can be said to have admired their names for a long time, but because the business is not in a circle, Mai Guoji is now mainly focused on some real estate development in the mainland, shopping malls and logistics, while Cheng Dazhuang is focused on using his news advantage in the upper echelons to do some seam trading, which is relatively speculative.
So although the two of them have admired each other's names for a long time, they have not been very familiar with each other, and this time Li Zhiyang's engagement ceremony can be said to be a good matchmaking for the two.
At the beginning of the meeting, the two of them praised each other, what they had admired for a long time, what was like thunder, etc., Li Zhiyang and Liu Jie had goosebumps all over their bodies.
When the two of them were almost verbose and familiar with each other, at this time, the maid of Li Zhiyang's family had already prepared the dinner and brought it in.
A few people are chatting while eating, Cheng Dazhuang is already extremely overseas, he has traveled south and north over the years, he has seen a lot of things, and this guy is very eloquent, so he can let go very much.
Everyone sat at the same table to eat, and he didn't feel angry at all, but kept telling everyone about the customs and habits of the places he had visited.
Although everyone is also a well-informed person, if compared with Cheng Dazhuang, there are really not as many places as this one, so everyone was soon attracted by Cheng Dazhuang's topic.
In this way, the people at the table didn't feel a little bit of life, until the meal was over, and Mai Guoji and Cheng Dazhuang were no longer like people they had just met.
Li Zhiyang knew that Cheng Dazhuang had such an ability, but seeing the embodiment of this guy's communication ability, Li Zhiyang couldn't help but admire it again.
With such social skills, he can handle it just right, and it is such an ability, Li Zhiyang thinks that it is a pity that Cheng Dazhuang does not become a diplomat.
After a few people finished dinner, Li Zhiyang asked the maid to clean up the place, and then asked a few people to serve hot tea, and then began to get to the point.
"Okay, I've already mentioned the issue of investing in that artificial tree with the two of you today, and now everyone is interested in investing in this company together, so let's discuss it now and see how to do it?"
Li Zhiyang opened his head, and then looked at Mai Guoji and Cheng Dazhuang, both of whom are business veterans, and Liu Jie is closely following himself and Cheng Dazhuang's younger brother.
In the afternoon, Cheng Dazhuang had already told Liu Jie about this, needless to say, Liu Jie would definitely follow this deal, and others he could doubt it, but Li Zhiyang He could definitely trust it.
Cheng Dazhuang originally wanted to speak first, but as soon as he saw Mai Guoji's eagerness on the opposite side, he made a gesture and signaled Mai Guoji to speak first.
Mak Guoji was not polite, cleared his throat and said.
"After Zhiyang and I mentioned this matter in the morning, he gave me some information, I went back and looked at it, it was all about the manufacturing cost, I roughly have a certain understanding of this product, this product, if it is taken to the mainland to do, the cost should not be very high. The corresponding relatively high investment in advertising and the cost of opening various joints, but in my opinion, these do not need to be very costly, and the cost of establishing a new company in my opinion should not be very large. ”
The advantage of their Henderson Group is that they have advantages in various stores, distribution channels, and logistics, and their relationship with many advertising production companies in the Celestial Empire, that is also quite good, as far as Li Zhiyang knows, they have several advertising companies under their names, and this is one of the main reasons why Li Zhiyang found him.
Several people here are understandable people, and Mai Guoji doesn't dare to fool such a few, so what he said is the truth, and Cheng Dazhuang can certainly hear it.
He completely agrees with Mak Guoji's point of view, the sooner this product is launched, the better, and high-tech, health and environmental protection are the main hype points, not to mention that there is also a selling point of solar power generation?
This thing, in Cheng Dazhuang's view, is completely an excellent idea with a small investment and quick results, and the investment should not be very large.
"Well, in the afternoon, I also read the information that Zhiyang gave us, and I also understood the general situation, and Zhiyang also told me that he has other business to be busy, so he doesn't plan to manage this company, and Liu Jie is still busy with Haitian's affairs, and he can't get out of it, it seems that Mr. Mai and I still have to contribute to the management of things. ”
Cheng Dazhuang said, and Mak Guoji also fully agreed.
This is the reason why Li Zhiyang asked the two of them to cooperate, he himself is a doppelganger, and he can't take care of the hungry business here, so he found such two trustworthy people to help him manage this company.
Li Zhiyang and Liu Jie also nodded in agreement, which decided the management of the company, and it was time to discuss the company's shares.
"Well, since everyone has agreed to the establishment of the company and the management matters, let's discuss the capital contribution and the division of shares."
Li Zhiyang saw that everyone had no objections now, so let's move on to the next step, and it was best to deal with this matter today.
"Okay, then let me say first, I don't think this company needs to invest too much money, there are a lot of resources needed, and our Henderson Group is ready-made, so there is no need to waste resources with repeated investments. I think Li Sheng, you can invest in the technology as soon as you take a stake, and the rest of me and Mr. Cheng, as well as this Mr. Liu, will contribute operating capital, and I plan to contribute 30 million, as well as our Henderson resources, as a 30% of the company. ”
The shares mentioned by Mai Guoji have also been carefully considered, how much money did Li Zhiyang spend on this thing, but it is clearly written, but he does not participate in management, he doesn't care about anything, he just waits for a share, it is said that he should not be able to occupy a lot of shares, but what is the identity of the person?
He can't offend Li Zhiyang, so the big head of this company has to be Li Zhiyang's, anyway, no matter how you calculate it, they still have money to make, it's just a matter of earning more or less.
"I think that's it, I'll also give 30 million, Xiaojie, you will give 5 million, so Zhiyang Technology will take 35 percent, Mr. Mai and I will each account for 30 percent, and the remaining 5 percent will be Xiaojie's. What do you think?"
How could Cheng Dazhuang not understand what Mak Guoji meant, so he made it clear what he meant, anyway, he also felt that Mak Guoji's idea was very reasonable.
Of course, Liu Jie doesn't have any opinions, the rest depends on Li Zhiyang, if he is not satisfied with the distribution of shares, then everyone is discussing it again.
Li Zhiyang is still quite satisfied with the division of shares like Mai Guoji and Cheng Dazhuang, but in fact, he just made money to sell patents.
And this new company, from the formation, to the operation, he doesn't care about anything, and Mai Guoji's Henderson Group will be responsible for the listing and marketing, distribution, and advertising of this product, while Cheng Dazhuang will use the resources behind him to go to local government departments for public relations, and strive to win several big projects.
People are the ones who work hard, if it weren't for their current status, they would have so many shares in this new company?
So of course Li Zhiyang has no opinion, he is very satisfied with the division of shares, at this time, looking at Mai Guoji, Cheng Dazhuang and Liu Jie, Li Zhiyang said with a smile.
"What else can I say? Hecht, go to the cellar and have a few bottles of champagne, and I'm going to celebrate with some friends. ”
The servant named Hect, who was waiting outside the door, immediately went down to get the wine, and Cheng Dazhuang and Mai Guoji of course knew that Li Zhiyang had agreed, and the company was established
While Li Zhiyang, Cheng Dazhuang, Mak Kwok-kee and others were drinking champagne together to celebrate, and in a building at the other end of New York, an elderly man in his fifties with gray hair was sitting there, looking at the staff below, busy in front of various electronic instruments.
The old man had gray hair, but there were not many folds on his face, two American-style thick eyebrows, and the most prominent thing on his face was his large hooked nose.
His lips are very thin, and according to the physiognomy of the Heavenly Dynasty, this person is cold by nature and does not attach importance to feelings. A pair of blue eyes seemed to be able to discharge, very majestic, and the other people in the room did not dare to make any head-on contact with him.
This guy can be said to be full of American-style prestige all over his body, and this guy is the Randall who is looking for trouble with Li Zhiyang. Wood
He was located on the middle two floors of a building that had just been rented, and in front of his office was his office area.
There were about a dozen people coming and going, all of whom were IA tech support staff, tinkering with the various electronic devices that were placed in front of them.
And there are people walking around this room from time to time, and it seems that they are very busy
Randall looked at the pretending scientific and technological support personnel in front of him, and his heart was in a hurry, this special service team has been established for a while, from the beginning of chasing the wind to the current initial appearance, it can be regarded as a small achievement.
You must know that every case investigated by IA takes a long time, especially when it involves a big family with a very special status in the United States, so the pressure on him has always been great.
Randall is only in his forties this year, but he looks like he is already in his fifties, and although he also pays attention to maintenance, the job is too much trouble.
He came from the Wood family in the Chicago consortium, and he is also a very ambitious careerist, IA has not been established for a long time, but there has been a president, that is, the current president Bush Jr. and his father, Bush Sr., so why can't there be another president?
But Randall also knows that his dream is quite difficult, and he must be able to show his own results in order to convince those voters.
The next president, he will definitely not have a chance to run, but what about the next term, or eight years from now? He will have a chance.
But the most important thing is that she is doing a good job now, and it is a beautiful result
He also knew that it would be almost impossible to defeat the Rockefeller family with this matter, but if he caught the Celestial Empire spy and gave the Rockefeller family a resounding slap by the way, then this case would definitely be done.
And as long as he grasps the sore feet of the Rockefeller family, this will be of great benefit to his future political career and the future interests of the family, which is why he is determined to poke this hornet's nest.
The current director is Mike. Hayden. A former retired Air Force general, but this guy is about to arrive with the current president, and he will hand over his power next year.
Mike is no longer in charge of things in the bureau now, unless it involves the security of the United States, he is in charge, so he can mobilize people to come to the Rockefeller house.
And next year's new president will definitely appoint someone he is familiar with to take over IA, Randall knows that he must be out of play, but as long as he can successfully crack this case of 'Celestial Empire spy trafficking in prohibited items, involving the security of the United States', then what awaits him is still a bright future.
However, it has been more than ten days since the establishment of the task force, but the situation is still unclear, and there is still no criminal evidence in his hands about the Celestial Empire's son-in-law of the Rockefeller family, which makes Randall feel very headache.
He has sent out all the field personnel he brought over, but there is still no news, and now they have listed several main suspects in the whole case.
There is Chrysler's chief engineer Loufus, there is the Rockefeller family's errand runner Claude, and there is the son-in-law of the Rockefeller family, the mysterious Celestial Empire man Li Zhiyang.
But Randall believes that there are definitely more people involved in the case, there must be many big people hiding behind the scenes, but now he just has no evidence.
He didn't know if Li Zhiyang and the others had been alert to IA, in short, in the past few days, their actions had suddenly become very vigilant.
They suddenly began to contact each other by not talking on the phone, only by meeting each other, and the place of meeting was difficult to hold, which made Randall very anxious.
This situation often means two possibilities for an old spy like Randall, one is that the other party has been alerted to the existence of his side and has increased his vigilance.
Another possibility is that they are going to make a deal, and that big deal is likely to be completed in the near future
But the more this happens, the more anxious Randall becomes, he must end this case before the new director takes office, because the people involved in this case are all big people, and they can't be provoked casually.
And he had to be careful not to attract the attention of the current director, Mike, if he knew that he was investigating the future son-in-law of the Rockefeller family, then he would definitely be suspended.
So he's annoyed now, and he can't just arrest Claude, Lufus, or any of them.
Although IA has a lot of resources and power in China, the special identity of the characters in this case has brought them great limitations
Now that Claude or any of Loufus is arrested, then Li Zhiyang's vigilance will be immediately aroused, and his case will be considered a failure, and it is not interesting to run away from big fish and catch some small fish and shrimp.
If Li Zhiyang is arrested, then he will be in big trouble, especially in the absence of any substantive evidence, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to take Li Zhiyang out of his castle
Even if his own people come from IA with unlimited power, but without any permission, if you want to enter that castle, the result you get is to be shot on the spot, because the family behind Li Zhiyang, even if it is IA, you have to be careful not to offend.
Now he is facing a stalemate, that is, how to get evidence of Li Zhiyang's crime, many powerful people from all over the world have come to his castle in the past few days, so he has strengthened security.
The equipment of those damn security companies is very comprehensive, and their eavesdropping and surveillance signals are blocked, and I don't know if it's intentional, in short, the angry Randall wants to scold his mother, but there is nothing he can do.
Now the bright thing for Randall is that they didn't know that IA had stepped in and that they were close to closing the deal.
In this way, he can capture them on the spot, so that he has all the evidence
