Chapter 141: Lanai
"This is the official text of the equity transfer agreement drawn up by both parties." Cahill, who had a little puffy bags under his eyes, took out a large stack of papers from his briefcase and handed them to the promiser: "Your signature authorization is required." ”
Xu Yu pursed his lips, looked at the thick stack of documents in front of him, and turned his head to look at his personal financial assistant and personal lawyer, "Have you already confirmed?" ”
"Yes sir, there is nothing wrong with the text of the law. The agreements of the parties were also carried out in accordance with the previous negotiations. ”
"Hmm." Xu Promise nodded in satisfaction, took a pen from James's hand, and signed his name on one document after another. He didn't think that these people would band together to deceive him. It's not for a showcasing to pay so much for a service.
For these official documents to have legal effect, it is not enough to simply sign the promise. The final confirmation is also required by his personal financial assistant using the personal seal of the promise after the confirmation of the promise. This is a special item specially made by PwC for the rich, and the electronic code cannot be forged.
When all of this is done, the $83 million contract will be officially valid. Once authorized, the promised personal financial assistant would soon transfer the money to the account designated by Kozhi Corporation, and the rest would be done by Cahill and the promise's personal lawyer.
Seeing that all the documents had been signed by the promise, Cahill breathed a sigh of relief. With a smile, he looked at Xu Promise, "Boss, I propose that we should have a drink." ”
"Okay."
As a housekeeper, James is definitely a very good and qualified existence. He had already asked the servants to prepare the champagne. After the promise was announced, it was quickly delivered.
"Boss, now this bioengineering company is yours." Cahill took a sip of champagne and looked at Xu with a smile on his face, "You might want to keep using that name?" ”
"What's the name?" Xu Yu was slightly stunned.
"The name of this bioengineering company, Kochi Corporation."
"Hush." Promise pouted, "Name changed." Think about it. ”
He raised his hand and nodded his forehead, and after a moment, he promised to speak, "Change to SC Company." ”
"Yes, boss." I don't quite understand what SC means, but it is his right to promise to change the name of the company as the boss. Cahill has no doubts about this.
"Did you make any progress on the island I asked you to find last time?" After sitting down again, Xu Promise put down the champagne glass in his hand and looked at Cahill, "What do you have a good introduction?" ”
"I'm sorry boss." Cahill spread his hands and an embarrassed expression on his face, "I've been busy with the acquisition of the company all this time. I've also looked for islands, but although there are a lot of islands for sale on the market now, none of them can meet your requirements. After all, you need to have at least a hundred square kilometers of area, and the sale of such a large island is not to be sought. ”
"Oh." Promise lowered his eyelids, noncommittal to Cahill's explanation.
Cahill's reaction to Promise made Cahill a little nervous, and he didn't want Promise to think he was incompetent. After all, it's hard to find a very lucrative job like this at the moment.
It's like this acquisition of the company that has made millions of dollars. This kind of good thing will happen on Wall Street, where there will be countless people who want to compete with him for a job. Cahill doesn't think he's on par with the Wall Street elite. He was just stained with the light of the promise.
Just as Cahill opened his mouth to continue explaining, the personal financial assistant who promised suddenly said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xu." Are you looking to buy an island? ”
"Huh?" Xu Promise raised his eyebrows slightly, "Do you have a good introduction?" ”
The promised financial assistant is a good accountant at PricewaterhouseCoopers named Scott, German-American.
Although he is an excellent accountant, he is different from his colleagues who wear suits and ties, and wear gold-rimmed glasses. Scott is a burly man, with thick arms and a face covered in fuzz, muscular, and a big bald head that looks more like a street collector.
Cahill, who was sitting on the side, gasped slightly, the muscles on his face twitched, and looked at Scott coldly.
"That's right, Mr. Xu." Scott didn't pay attention to Cahill's gaze, and introduced to Xu in a calm voice, "As you know, we at PricewaterhouseCoopers have many clients who are as distinguished as you. These customers have a lot of trust in us, and sometimes they reveal a lot of useful information. ”
"Tell me about it." The promise immediately understood what he meant: "Who wants to sell the island?" What kind of island? ”
"Mr. Xu, do you know that the chairman and CEO of the World News Corporation, Rupert . Mr. Murdoch? As soon as Scott's words fell, Xu Promise already laughed: "Of course I know the name of the media mogul Murdoch." Does he have an island to sell? How big? ”
"Yes, Mr. Xu." Scott began to elaborate on the matter: "Because the money invested on the island did not pay off as expected, Mr. Murdoch intended to sell 98 percent of his ownership of Lanai, the sixth largest island in Hawaii." ”
"Hawaii?" The heart of promise comes alive.
"Yes, Lanai is the sixth largest island in Hawaii and certainly the smallest island. It has always preserved the local culture and is a beautiful tropical paradise. Scott quickly got to the point: "Lanai is huge, it's 141 square miles (365 square kilometers), Bill Gates' wedding was held here, and the movie Jurassic Park was filmed here. ”
After Scott's introduction, he set his eyes on the promise. Those who work as personal assistants for the rich have a wide range of sources. In fact, at this time, the news that Murdoch wanted to sell Lanai was just coming out, but it had already spread almost throughout the rich circle.
Bill Gates didn't care about the promise of a wedding or something, it was a story from the last century, and he had nothing to do with it and was not interested in knowing. He cares about the sheer size and the fact that the movie Jurassic Park was filmed here.
"Is this providential?" The promise was really surprising.
In fact, he bought the island in order to build a new Jurassic Park that would provide him with long-term funding. didn't expect that the place where Jurassic Park was filmed before was about to be sold. This kind of coincidence really surprised Xu Promise. The feeling in my heart is also very strange, as if there is a providence in the dark.
"Hawaii." After a while, Xu Promise calmly looked at Scott, who had brought him an unexpected surprise, "I'm a foreigner, can I go and buy an island in the United States?" ”
"Mr. Xu." Not only Scott, but several other people on the side also chuckled: "America is a world of capital, as long as there is money, there is enough money." Not to mention buying islands, it's not impossible that you want to be president of the United States. Of course, if you want to be president of the United States, you still have to become a U.S. citizen. But as long as you have money, you can buy an island. ”
"How much does it cost?" Xu Promise had already moved his mind in his heart, but he first asked about the price that he was most concerned about.
"The preliminary estimate is that the transfer price will be at least more than $500 million." Scott is in finance, and he is very accurate about prices. In fact, he still has one sentence that he didn't say, that is, he promised that as a Chinese, he would need to pay more.
"If." After a moment of silence, Promise looked up at Scott, "I mean if." If I can come up with this money, what do you think are the odds that I will buy the island from Murdoch? Please tell me the truth. ”
"Mr. Xu." Scott felt his throat and eyes dry a little, and his gaze was bright.
Promise that if this business is really done, the transaction value will definitely be hundreds of millions of dollars. And this business must fall into his own hands, after all, he is the introducer. Once this business is successful, he will no longer be just an ordinary accountant, he will become a partner of PricewaterhouseCoopers!
Stepping on the pinnacle of life, the opportunity to marry Bai Fumei is just around the corner, how can Scott not be excited!
"Mr. Xu." After swallowing hard, Scott tried to calm his emotions, "There are indeed many rumors that Mr. Bill Gates and Mr. Larry Ellison are interested in taking over the island. Moreover, there are rumors that there are capitals from the Middle East and China that are also interested in intervening. But in fact, Mr. Larry Ellison is the only one who really has this heart at the moment. Everything else is chasing after the wind, and Mr. Bill Gates has made it clear that he will not buy the island. ”
"Larry Ellison?" Xu Yu frowned, "That's the guy who stole the name of Huaxia Oracle and named his company?" ”
The promise made the elites around them look at each other, not knowing what to say. People are registered.
"I don't know much about the world's richest people. But Larry Ellison seems to be the boss of Oracle, with a net worth of at least tens of billions, right? Promise's brow furrowed even tighter.
"Sir, your information is correct." Scott didn't seem to care too much, and said with a smile, "According to a Forbes survey, Larry Ellison's personal assets are about $44 billion or more. ”
"Hmph." Although he was envious in his heart, he didn't really care too much about it. After all, it wasn't too difficult for him to get more money through abnormal means, as long as he wanted to. It's just that the money he got can't see the light of day. You can only see it, but you can't spend it.
"Although Ellison has an extremely abundant capital backing, if you really want to buy it, Mr. Xu, you have a better chance than Ellison!" Scott's words surprised Promise, after all, it was a bit illogical.
Xu Promise is a foreigner, and his net worth is completely incomparable to Ellison, so he actually said that he has a better chance? (To be continued.) )
