"What......?"

Paul, who was originally full of smiles, suddenly became surprised, his face was a little stiff, and he didn't seem to expect Tang Bao to suddenly regret it.

Forehead.

And Andya, who was sitting bored on the sidelines, also became dumbfounded.

"Whew. You heard you right, Mr. Paul. Goldman Sachs Group's stake in Phoenix Investment Group, I need to reconsider! ”

Tang Bao repeated again.

"Why, Don? Why did you suddenly change your mind about things that were originally agreed? Paul's face was anxious, and he was very annoyed, but he didn't dare to burst out. If Goldman Sachs wants to take a stake in Phoenix Investment Group, it must have Tang Bao's nod and acquiescence...... angered Tang Bao, and Goldman Sachs lost the opportunity. Therefore, even if Paul was angry and angry, he had to endure it, and it was easy not to show it.

“……”

Tang Bao didn't give a clear answer, just shook his head silently. I secretly sighed in my heart that although Goldman Sachs Group is not as powerful as later generations, its ambitions are no smaller than those of later generations. This has not yet become a formal shareholder of Phoenix Investment Group, so he is anxious to arrange someone to Phoenix Investment Group.

Goldman Sachs is very insidious, and Don, who has the advantage of rebirth, knows very well that he has thought about precautions before he decides to bring in this beast. However, it wasn't until he heard Paul's proposal that Tang Bao realized that he still underestimated Goldman Sachs' ambitions. Maybe...... The precautions he had set up were simply not going to stop the beast.

Therefore.

Tang Bao's heart was a little confused. After weighing it, he decisively changed his mind, gave up his previous plans, and decided to give up dealing with Goldman Sachs for the time being.

In the absence of absolute control of Goldman Sachs, Goldman Sachs was hastily introduced, and it is impossible to say when Goldman Sachs was quietly attacked.

That would be devastating.

"Don, talk well. Why are you ......" Andya, who received the signal from her father's eyes, couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm...... Andyah, I don't think there's enough understanding between Phoenix and Goldman Sachs, and a hasty combination may not be a good idea. So, I'm so sorry...... I might be going to break my promise. The words were said to Andya in the face, but he was also tactfully telling Paul that Goldman Sachs was going to be out of play.

Hear the words.

Andia was silent, Tang Bao's words were all said about this, and he went to forcibly persuade him again. It's a little out of place. Besides, there is no direct connection between him and Goldman Sachs.

……

"Whew. Don, it's okay for you to change your mind, but you have to give me a reason, and I'll go back and make a reasonable explanation to Goldman Sachs. Paul lost a smile on his face, but he didn't show any anger, and said very calmly. In fact, he had already guessed the reason in his heart, and he just confirmed it to Tang Bao.

Reason??

Can you make it all clear? Tang Bao thought to himself, but since Paul had asked so. He didn't mind talking about it either.

"I don't see the purpose of Goldman Sachs' stake in Phoenix Investment Group very clearly...... Well, let's just say that, I'm not sure about Goldman Sachs joining. Is it good or bad for the development of Phoenix Investment Group! Tang Bao smiled lightly and said the reason for his sudden change of words.

"You're referring to Goldman Sachs' proposal to send someone to Phoenix Investment Group?" Paul asked.

"That's right!"

Tang Bao nodded briskly in acknowledgement.

"Don, if you're not happy with this proposal, Goldman Sachs can drop it, just like any other investor. Knowing the root cause, Paul immediately decided to take remedial measures and asked to abandon the dispatch....... Strive to get the opportunity to invest in Phoenix Investment Group again.

"Huh. Mr. Paul, it's not as simple as you say, or you probably haven't really understood why I'm rejecting Goldman Sachs. I told you...... I don't see the purpose of Goldman Sachs' investment, is Goldman Sachs' investment purely for the purpose of obtaining capital investment returns, or something else? All I can say is sorry until I confirm it. Tang Bao shook his head and said helplessly, It's time for Paul to transfer the essence of the problem.

Since Goldman Sachs' investment has some kind of ambition, even if it abandons the plan to send personnel, as long as it is still a shareholder of Phoenix Investment Group, then there will definitely be other actions.

To prevent accidents.

Tang Bao could only exclude Goldman Sachs.

Ay.

Goldman Sachs is Goldman Sachs, which has not yet fully grown up, and has extraordinary ambitions.

"Well, I knew it was going to be like this...... Damn, it's all Celtic idiots! Paul couldn't help but curse inwardly.

……

Paul tried to explain, hoping to give Goldman Sachs another chance, but no matter what he said, Tang Bao's attitude showed no obvious signs of softening.

But.

Paul didn't let his son come forward to persuade him anymore, he didn't want to let a rift between Andya and Tang Bao because he tried his best to help Goldman Sachs.

Alas.

Originally, Andya stepped forward to mediate, and Goldman Sachs' investment was very smooth, but because of the stupidity of some people, the opportunity was completely lost.

Negotiations failed.

Paul and Andya didn't stay long, but after chatting for a while, they offered to leave. And Tang Bao also sent the two away very politely.

Seeing the car of Paul and Andya father and son drive away, the smile on Tang Bao's face gradually disappeared.

It's past one o'clock in the morning.

But Tang Bao was completely sleepy, sitting alone in the living room, thinking about Goldman Sachs. Rejecting Goldman Sachs like this, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.

……

Days passed in the blink of an eye.

Goldman Sachs also knew that he was out, but he didn't perform in particular.

Duration.

Wells Fargo and Citibank have signed investment agreements with Tang Bao, with Wells Fargo contributing US$356 million to acquire a 2% stake in Phoenix Investment Group, and Citibank contributing US$445 million to hold a 2.5% stake. There is no vested equity yet, and only 1.215% remains......

The rest of the investors were staring closely, constantly trying to start talks with Tang Bao again through various channels.

Well-informed people have learned that Wells Fargo and Citibank were able to get ahead of each other because they found acquaintances to connect them and directly negotiated an agreement with Tang Bao.

Investors are anxious, and the media is constantly speculating about who will spend the remaining equity.

And Tang Bao also had a headache.

Originally, the 1.215% stake was prepared for Goldman Sachs, but Goldman Sachs died by himself, which made Tang Bao vigilant and kicked it out.

Then the question arises.

Who is this 1.215% stake for?

In addition to Goldman Sachs, the remaining six investment institutions, one British Barclays Bank, one Japanese Mitsubishi Bank, and the remaining four are all American investment institutions. To be honest, none of the six investment institutions have the advantages that Tang Bao particularly values, so it is really a headache who to choose.

……

In the morning, it was naturally sunny, and the villa area where Tang Bao was located was also quiet.

"Huh?"

Nick, who was about to go out, suddenly noticed a car slowly parked at the door of the villa, and couldn't help but wonder. Tang Bao's villa, except for Mrs. Annette is a frequent visitor, few people come over. It was clear, however, that the car did not belong to Mrs. Annette.

Chinese?

Seeing a few Asian faces suddenly appear in the car, Nick couldn't help but be stunned. Could it be a relative of the boss?

"Hello, Mr. Nick!" Just as Nick was stunned, a middle-aged man walked up to him and greeted Nick with a smile.

"Hey, it feels so familiar......"

Looking at this face, Nick was suddenly stunned, feeling where he had seen it, and couldn't help but recall it in his mind, and suddenly startled: "It's you, Mr. Ito?!" ”

Right.

Nick remembered that the middle-aged man who greeted him was Masatoshi Ito. He was approached last year when he bought the Southern Company.

"It's a great honor that Mr. Nick still remembers me!" Masatoshi Ito said with a smile.

Then.

The two chatted eagerly, and it wasn't until a moment that Nick suddenly remembered, "Oh, by the way, Mr. Ito, you're here to visit the boss, right?" ”

"Yes. Mr. Tang is at home, right? Masatoshi Ito asked.

"Yes."

Nick smiled and nodded.

"Whew."

Receiving a clear answer, Masatoshi Ito couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They inquired about Tang Bao's residence, but it took a lot of effort.

Nick glanced at the two men who were following Masatoshi Ito, and both of them nodded slightly to Nick.

"Please come in with me." Nick led Masatoshi Ito and the others back to the villa. He knew that if his boss knew that Masatoshi Ito was visiting, he would not avoid it.

……

Sure enough, as Nick expected, when he went in early to report that Ito Masatoshi was visiting, Tang Bao also stood up and urged Nick to invite someone in.

"Hello, Mr. Tang." When they met again, Masatoshi Ito was as polite as he was at the beginning, and bowed to Tang Baoxing.

Tang Bao greeted Masatoshi Ito with a smile. "Ha, Mr. Ito, please ......" He admires Ito's super ability in the retail field very much.

He wouldn't mind recruiting this man into his command if he could.

"Mr. Tang, I took the liberty to visit and disturbed again." Masatoshi Ito said, and then began to introduce the two people behind him: "Please allow me to introduce two friends, this one is Jiro Kono, vice president of Mitsubishi Bank, and this is Takaaki Aoki of Mitsui Bank......"

Bank of Mitsubishi, Bank of Mitsui!

After listening to Ito Masato's introduction, Tang Bao suddenly knew what to expect. I also figured out why Ito Masatoshi suddenly ran over to visit him.

this era.

It was the era when the Bank of Japan was in full swing, and Mitsubishi and Mitsui were both among the top banks in the world, and none of them were unknown.

And they represent not just a bank, but a huge consortium.

"You may be seated."

Tang Bao smiled lightly and beckoned everyone to take their seats, to be honest, he was also hesitating which investor to choose to fill the gap left by Goldman Sachs.

The appearance of Mitsui Bank and Mitsubishi Bank may have unexpected gains. (To be continued......)
