Chapter 27 Special Interviews
(Thank you for your collection and recommendation!) Thank you for your valuable suggestions. )
Li Jie looked at the small pale green card in his hand somewhat casually, which read Permanent_Resident_card (permanent resident card), which is commonly known as the green card.
The picture was taken pretty well, he thought.
The precious right of abode that had plagued Li Jie for a long time was not a problem at all in the face of the powerful dollar, and Li Jie left it all to Archibald to help him get it, only to show up for a while.
At this time, they were on their way from New York to Los Angeles, California, and Archibald's last three acquisitions were in California, two of which were in Los Angeles and one in Bakersfield, in the Central Valley. He flew in a business jet (Business_Jet) on temporary lease, the Challenger 605, Bombardier's premium private business jet. The cabin has undergone a number of important enhancements to meet the maximum comfort required by passengers, and in addition to providing more spacious cabin space, the aircraft's gunwales have also been redesigned to increase the amount of daylight, and the interior of the cabin, which is large enough to accommodate 12 people, still appears more relaxed.
"Maybe it's time to consider the issue of private jets, as the company's business expands, I am afraid that it will inevitably fly everywhere in the future, and it will still be much more convenient to travel." Li Jie thought about it, in addition to business jets, there is also a helipad on the roof of the "Top of the Daylight", which is a bit wasteful if it is not used.
"It seems that you have high expectations for your new company." Flor, who was sitting next to him, had come back to participate in the acquisition, and he said with a smile as he took the red wine from the flight attendant.
"Far more than you can imagine." Li Jie has already made it into his chest, but this huge plan is not yet the time to be revealed, everything will take time.
"Well, then I think you need a bigger plane. Strictly speaking, the Bombardier Challenger 605 is a midsize jet with a maximum range of only 7,500 kilometers. "Flower obviously knows this very well, as a veteran enthusiast, he has long wanted to get one, but he is shy to get it." Bombardier Global Express, or Gulfstream G500, should be more of a match for you, Bruce. ”
"Leave it to Archibald, he can do it." Li Jie is used to putting forward requests and letting this capable guy solve them.
"He's about to become your personal secretary." Flower laughed.
"Isn't that what he's doing?" Li Kit is rightfully aware that his more than $600 million at Citibank is not for nothing. It can only be said that the money came and was spent quickly, and after paying the law firm and Samson Bell's share, after deducting the money for the purchase of the mansion and all kinds of expenses, he had spent more than 300 million dollars in less than a month. No way, according to Archibald's advice, in order to pay less taxes, the money still has to be spent hard, but fortunately, the next step is the acquisition, according to his plan, he may have to worry about not having enough money at that time.
Sitting across from them were two middle-aged men in standard professional attire, or not even middle-aged, roughly between 35 and 40 years old. That's what Archibald helped Li Jie find as an investment analyst and personal assistant, and according to Archibald, the smaller one is Kit Leslie, who is familiar with taxation and prefers financial management and accountant roles. Tall, with curly brown hair is Izquil Christian, an elite in business investigation, negotiation and decision-making.
Their common characteristic is that they have a considerable degree of experience, and at the same time, they are young and passionate, so the combination of the two professionals can provide a lot of help to Li Jie's career.
The two of them were actually spinning at high speed in their minds when they carefully flipped through the information in their hands, but there was no way, Bruce Lee's name has been too loud recently, and this young rich and genius scientist seemed to suddenly emerge from the soil, and he became popular with the birth of "Mightda". Coupled with his young and handsome, tall and straight appearance, his influence has gradually crossed over to entertainment editions and gossip tabloids, and there are so many reports about him in various media that people have calluses in their ears.
Izikiel and Kit originally thought it was just an ordinary interview, but who knew that Li Jie did not follow common sense at all, and directly told them the content of the interview - immediately followed him on a long flight across most of the United States to California to acquire several companies. You must know that New York and Los Angeles are on the West Coast and the other on the East Coast, a straight-line distance of more than 4,500 kilometers!
"Mr. Leslie, Mr. Christian, what do you think after reading the materials?" Li Jie's legs were folded together casually, his expression was calm and he couldn't see any emotional fluctuations, he turned his wrist and slowly shook the wine glass in his hand, and the golden whiskey liquid shook in the glass, gently rippling a circle of ripples.
"Mr. Li, the information you provided is a total of three non-listed companies, and the asset appraisal and property reports have been sorted out very clearly, among which Incyte (Inset) and sleipnir (Sleipnir) are still in good financial condition, and cubist_genome_sciences (Kobbist Genetic Science) is not very good." Kitt put down the folder, pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and replied confidently.
He thought for a moment and added. "I have to say that the team that made this report was very professional."
The report is provided by Citi's team, but you can't rely on them for everything. Li Jie nodded and did not speak, and motioned for Izakil, who was sitting next to him, to speak.
"Although the financial situation of these biotechnology companies is barely okay, but from a personal point of view, these three companies are not good acquisition targets, whether it is research results or main business aspects are not particularly bright, the only thing worth praising is probably that there is a relatively complete independent research team, but no results is the hard flaw of technology-based enterprises. Kobister, in particular, is seriously struggling to make ends meet, and I don't think it's worth acquiring. Itzikil was blunt about his own judgment, and in fact, it was because he had already restrained his words when he considered that the other person might be his future employer.
This result is not surprising to Li Jie, he has put Archibald in the target are independent small biotechnology companies, those that are in good shape, large companies are either worth tens of billions of dollars, or have already been acquired by large companies such as Roche and Pfizer, and have been carved up. There is no way, the market is too poor, the economy is sluggish, the income of large companies is not growing, and small companies are difficult to finance, and mergers are almost the only way out. Otherwise, as soon as his "Mightyda" appeared, how could these big companies rob so fiercely.
Li Jie had somewhat understood the level of these two people, and put down the wine glass with a light smile, the expression on his face did not change in the slightest, and his eyes looked at the two of them seemingly peaceful but deeply, and examined them for half a minute.
Kit and Itzikiel only felt that Li Jie, who was still very kind in front of them, seemed to have suddenly changed people, and his momentum suddenly and endlessly climbed without warning, like an endless sea, seemingly calm, but there were terrifying and turbulent waves brewing in the depths, which could swallow everything at any time. Itziquil swore that although he had been through a lot of negotiations, he had never seen a person with such a terrifying momentum, which was crushing and irresistible in the power of life and death.
Flor, who was originally casual on the side, also felt the change in Li Jie, and felt a little restrained and uncomfortable. It was this kind of momentum, he recalled the appearance of Li Jie when he first saw him, and his young appearance could not hide the indescribable majesty in the slightest.
Maybe only Bruce at this time is the real him.
"Mr. Leslie, Mr. Christian, I appreciate your professional abilities, but what I value more is that you are ambitious and want to grab more. Only a warrior who always maintains a thirst for blood is the bravest and most elite warrior. Before I do that, though, I want to remind you that there are three things to keep in mind when working for me. Li Jie's voice was slightly muffled, echoing in the eerily quiet cabin.
"First, don't ask why, if I feel it is necessary to let you know, I will explain. And when I tell you the goal, the only thing you have to do is to achieve it. ”
"Second, don't make your own decisions, if you make a decision without my permission, then you better be sure that you will win."
"Third, what I give you is yours. What I don't give, you can't take. ”
"Now, tell me, do you understand?"
Kit and Itzikiel came to their senses and nodded a little sluggishly, and under Li Jie's terrifying momentum, a layer of fine beads of sweat had already appeared on their backs. Itzikiel even dared to swear to the sky that he had heard Kit swallowing next to him just now.
