Volume 3 Chapter 174 Subtly Change
After another three days, Li Sheng saw the Nanshan pine jade ornament brought by Liu Ruocheng, and felt that it was very suitable as a birthday gift, so he bought it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Liu Ruocheng originally didn't want money, but Li Sheng refused to let her suffer. The two sides finally traded at a price of 6.8 million.
Although the jade quality of the ornament is not very good, but the strong layout is exquisite, only the pine leaf part of the whole ornament is jadeite, and the others are brick materials, which are just carved into the trunk of the mountain. In addition, this has a history of hundreds of years, although it is not a masterpiece of the world, but it is also an antique, and the price is not too expensive.
This weekend, Tia went to Tianjing to train during the day. Li Sheng had nowhere to go, so he used the Internet to contact the people on the farm at home.
At eleven o'clock in the morning, he was preparing to cook, and Tia would go home for dinner at half past twelve. As a result, Mo Xiran came. When she came in, she looked around and said, "Tia isn't even at home with you?" ”
Li Sheng asked as he walked to the kitchen, "She works harder than you." She arrived home at about half-past twelve. As he finished speaking, the man came into the kitchen.
Mo Xiran said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, it's just to chat with Tia and eat by the way." Remember to cook more of the dishes I like to eat. ”
Before saying this, Li Sheng seemed to be very stingy. She didn't let her eat to her satisfaction that time? He didn't even bother to pay attention to her.
Li Sheng was cutting vegetables tremblingly, and Mo Xiran appeared at the kitchen door with a bag of potato chips and said while eating: "Brother, grandma's birthday is in the old house." The uncle said that he planned to do it more grandly, and he would invite some relatives and friends. ”
Li Sheng kept his hands and didn't look back, and said, "This is your family matter, don't tell me." ”
Mo Xiran clicked and ate the potato chips, and said, "Anyway, Uncle asked me to tell you." ”
Li Sheng stopped in his hand, turned around and asked, "Grandma used to ...... Grandma's birthday is not a big deal? ”
"It seems that after the 80th birthday, grandma's health is not very good, and it is not a big deal, but the family gathers."
Li Sheng pursed his lips and nodded, "I know." ”
He probably understood Mo Changfeng's plan, which was to make his relationship with the Mo family public.
"Then you cook. I want to eat stewed snails. ”
"There are no snails today!" Li Sheng said angrily.
"Stingy." Mo Xiran turned around and jumped lightly and left.
During the meal, Mo Xiran and Tia whispered something, as if they were talking about asking Cha Xi to be the image ambassador of their fund. He didn't know what the two of them thought. Although Chahi's appearance is very Chinese, he is also Brazilian. Now their funds are not ready to do business abroad for the time being. Is it really good to find Chahi as an image endorsement?
But before the results came out, no one could say, so he let them play with them.
In the afternoon, Li Sheng went to the farm's office, and Anthony said that he had sorted out the construction bidding documents he had previously given.
He saw the top one, the name of the bidding company was Lingang Tang Chao, and he couldn't help but think of the fat man he met in the bow and arrow club who had begun to lose his head. After looking through the company's bids, he asked Anthony, "Do you think this company is the most suitable?" ”
"It's one of the more suitable ones." Anthony said. "In fact, the bids of several of the above companies are relatively good."
Li Sheng looked through several other bids and said: "The price is about the same, but in terms of construction period, but Tang Chao seems to be more thoughtful in terms of quality assurance." Just choose Tang Chao. ”
"Okay. But there are several projects on the farm, all of them are done by their company? ”
Li Sheng thought for a moment and said, "You mean to separate several projects and hand them over to these companies?" ”
Anthony nodded and said, "Yes." I found that these companies were not strong enough to complete all the works in the tender within the construction period. I think even if they win the bid, they will have to subcontract part of the project to other companies. It is better for us to directly find the most suitable company to undertake the construction of each part of the project. ”
Li Sheng thought about it and thought that Anthony's suggestion was very good. He has three projects to tender for this time, one is to build a hardened road about 200 kilometers long, one is to build a sewer in the town of Sipalu, and the last is a stone frog farm, a sericulture farm and a cordyceps breeding farm.
In fact, there are several other considerable projects under construction, namely new warehouses and the excavation of artificial canals. However, this has been done by the construction company that has been working with it before. In addition, the bridge between the artificial river and the planned port has been decided to be made by the company. If it weren't for the fact that the company was not able to undertake so many projects now, he would not have needed to return to China and ask the construction company for bidding.
That company is relatively strong in China, and it can't win so many projects, and Tang Chao definitely can't do it. Subcontracting is certainly a good way to do it. If you only subcontract, it is difficult to guarantee the quality. Contractors subcontracting are the equivalent of second-hand dealers, and they are likely to withhold a portion of the profits in the process of changing hands. In the end, if the company that undertakes the construction wants to make enough profits, it will find a way to cut corners.
After Li Sheng understood this, he said to Anthony: "Then go according to your wishes." You should talk to these companies first to see if you can reduce the cost of the project if you undertake one of the projects. In addition, they must be required to meet the requirements in terms of quality. You can clearly tell them, supervise the company, we will find a Brazilian company. And 10% of the final payment will be paid only if there is no quality problem within half a year after the acceptance of the project. ”
"Okay."
Li Sheng thought for a moment and asked again: "How is the contract for that wind turbine?" ”
"There is a general agreement on the parameters, and there are still some disagreements on the cost and price of the installation."
Li Sheng nodded and said, "Try to negotiate as soon as possible." "Although Anthony was in charge of the negotiations, the main force was a specially hired negotiation team.
"Also, you have designed the equipment for large-scale cultivation and production of bacteria, and the manufacturer has been found. Because there is equipment suitable for modification, it will take about a month for them to come up with the model. ”
"Well, that's fine." Li Sheng thought for a moment and said. "You look for a headhunter and ask them to find a professional manager, and another accountant who is familiar with international law, especially Brazilian tax law. After the construction of the town of Sipalu, they need to be the core of the management of the industrial zone. ”
He plans to find someone in Huaxia, not because he thinks that Huaxia people are better than managers in Europe and the United States. Rather, considering that there are many things produced on the farm in the future, it is very important for him to have a better sense of the Chinese people.
Anthony also responded to this matter.
Li Sheng concluded: "Let the headhunter find the right person before I leave." ”
"I'll get them as soon as possible." When Anthony heard him say this, he knew that Li Sheng was planning to interview the person found by the headhunting company in person.
After Li Sheng finished speaking, he looked at the time, and it was time for him to pick up people at the airport.
He agreed to participate in Finn Waitin's plan, and the two sides needed to sign an agreement. The other plane's plane arrived about forty minutes later. In Huaxia, he is also a landlord, and it is still necessary to pick up people.
Finn brought only one lawyer, not even an assistant. It seems that he came specifically for Li Sheng's funds. Li Sheng drove the two to the Four Seasons Hotel, the room he opened here. The three of them came to the presidential suite he opened, and Finn did not plan to rest, and directly explained to Li Sheng in detail his team's analysis of the short-term trend of international oil prices.
After the legal counsel of Nam Kwong Pharmaceutical arrived, Li Sheng and he signed the agreement in the presence of lawyers from both parties. Li Sheng needed to transfer $5 billion to the account designated by Finn's private equity fund within 48 hours.
After the agreement was signed, Nam Kwong Pharmaceutical's legal counsel left first, and Fin's lawyer went to the next room to rest. The two had a drink and wished this cooperation a pleasant one.
Li Sheng put down his wine glass and asked, "Prince Ali also plans to participate this time?" ”
Now that they are partners, Finn did not hide it from him, nodded and said, "Yes." Prince Ali contributed two billion dollars. Like you, it's a collaborative approach. ”
The two chatted for a while, and then Li Sheng was ready to leave. Finn will catch a flight to New York at nine o'clock in the evening, which is not a hassle for Li Sheng to entertain too much.
On the way home, Li Sheng examined whether the move of $5 billion would be impulsive. He also knows the risks that Luo Zheng said. It's just that he thinks it's worth the risk.
It's just that in the process of operation, he needs to consider whether he should take the risk or not. He chose to participate in a cooperative way, and Finn would certainly not be very committed to the money, and might even lead him to make a wrong judgment in order to ensure the interests of their private equity fund. Maybe it won't be a deliberate loss for him, but it might make him less profitable.
Normally, private equity funding is usually raised in the form of partners, but now Finn is supposed to be taking a risk, and when he can't find a partner in a short period of time, he can only use the means of charging less fees than other funds to attract funds. Judging by the amount of money he needs, this should be a big move.
Li Sheng also had the experience of speculating in the futures market, and knew that speculation is sometimes very important, but that is only the premise and not the foundation of success. To succeed in the speculative market, the most important thing is how much money you have in your account. There are sufficient funds to sustain it until the moment of victory. And without enough money, you may turn into someone else's fruit of victory.
So his funds, most likely, are seen by Finn as ammunition, as consumables. If it wins in the end, then there will still be some benefits in the end, but it is likely to be inferior to the funds of private equity funds in terms of profit margins.
Although Li Sheng thought that such a situation might occur, he still chose to cooperate with Fin. The main thing is to get the market information of the opposing team. And Ali loves this aspect of the news is more well-informed, Ali is willing to bet, why doesn't he bet?
And he's not just a half billion dollars in spare money.
He also has the equivalent of $15 billion in his account. He needs to leave a billion or so as the first installment of the farm's projects. Everything else can be taken out and gambled.
Maybe it would cost him nothing, but even that wouldn't actually affect him much. The money will still flow into his pocket, and it will not affect the construction of the farm. But if he can make a profit, he may be able to have enough funds to start the plan for the Silent Farm's external access ahead of schedule. (To be continued.) )
