The afternoon negotiations were still uneventful, and at the beginning of the negotiations, the other party said that the number of A shares would be determined first. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:strawberry,.cmxsw] But in fact, this thing is not so easy to determine, because the quantity must be closely related to the price of the final transaction, the more A shares released by Lei Shi Dongken, then the higher the final negotiated stock price, and vice versa, the lower the unit price of this batch of stocks. So everyone talked about it all afternoon, but nothing came to an end.

Back at the hotel, several people began to conclude today's negotiations.

Gould first asked:

"I think something is wrong."

Catherine nodded in agreement with what he said:

"I think so."

Xiao Yifei didn't notice the abnormality, he hurriedly asked:

"What's wrong?"

"The other side has decided that the negotiation order is not right. Determine the number of A shares first, how is it possible, this number is the most difficult to determine. ”

"So what should we talk about first?"

"That's of course the price of B shares, because the number of shares is determined. Although it is also related to the number of A-shares, this one is relatively the easiest. ”

Xiao Yifei thought for a while:

"According to you, the other party is stalling for time?"

"Quite possibly."

Xiao Yifei wondered, it is said that December 31 is the date for Lei Shidong to repay the debt, the time pressure should be very high, he should be eager to complete the negotiation as soon as possible, Xiao Yifei did not delay the time, but he took the initiative to delay the time, which is too abnormal.

He thought of a possibility:

"Could it be that he has another buyer?"

"Buyers should have."

The speculation was confirmed, and Xiao Yifei was worried:

"What do you think of the success rate of this negotiation?"

"It's not clear what the situation is now, it's really hard to judge."

"And what do you say you should do at this time?"

"Now we can only wait and see."

Several others agreed with him. Xiao Yifei could only let go of his worries, turned to Catherine and said:

"Catherine, you have a lot of connections in rich countries, let's see if we can find another buyer and understand their strength."

Catherine was the broker of the deal, and it was only fitting that these things would be left to her. She also knew that this matter was very important, and nodded solemnly to take the task.

The unexpected change made Xiao Yifei have no interest in going out, and drove back to 704 directly. I studied the holy script for a while. Concubine Yue drove back.

Seeing her walking in with a large bag on her red face, Xiao Yifei said with a smile:

"Sister Yue, a bumper harvest. How many losers did you lose today? ”

"What a loser, I just bought less than 20,000 yuan."

I'll go. If the average is $100 a piece, then didn't she buy 20 pieces?

"Also, Sister Yue, you are a little rich woman now, and 20,000 yuan will definitely not be in your eyes."

"There can be compared to your boss Xiao, if you don't say it, I didn't dare to buy so much before. Seeing that people are going to get old and decrepit, there will be no chance if you don't take advantage of the fact that you still have a little posture to wear it. ”

Xiao Yifei didn't dare to pick up this topic, women's age and appearance are two taboo topics.

Concubine Yue threw the paper bag on the sofa and turned around to carry it for the second time. After a while, the couch will not be able to sit on people. Concubine Yue sat down on another sofa, and as soon as she took off her shoes, she began to rub her feet and complain:

"Ouch, it hurts, my feet are about to break."

Xiao Yifei could only shake his head. This woman will never shout tired when she goes shopping, and after shopping, she will definitely say things like hard work, tiredness, and broken feet.

The next day's negotiations were still in a state of bickering. While eating at noon, Catherine suddenly received a phone call, and after answering, she whispered:

"It is true that there is another buyer, the other party did not ask for A shares, and the price is said to be more than $11."

Xiao Yifei chuckled in his heart, there was trouble, and a competitor appeared. Since the news says that the price is more than $11. That's basically likely to be about 11.3, which is less than 20 million different from Lei Shidong's expectations, I believe he can make up this money from anywhere.

In the negotiation that afternoon, Xiao Yifei could be regarded as suffering. He was very worried that Andrew, who was on the other side, would come up with a "Since that's the case, let's not talk about it." Thus interrupting the negotiations.

Lying in bed at night, Xiao Yifei tossed and turned, and after thinking for a long time, he suddenly figured it out. What if you can't buy it, anyway, CBS shares are just icing on the cake for the whole plan and avoid some malicious slander. Even if you really want to buy media. There are also so many multimedia groups in the United States, and there will always be opportunities to take shares.

Besides, even if you have to buy a TV network, in addition to CBS, NBC, ABC, there are also some small ones, such as public radio stations, McCows, etc., and you can buy them at that time.

And even if you don't have the media as a talisman, it's really coming, and it's a great thing to smash with money.

After thinking about this, he felt a lot calmer, anyway, the winery is no big deal now, many employees are on vacation, and he thinks he is coming to Los Angeles for a vacation. In his thoughts, he finally fell asleep.

Far away in New York, Lei Shidong and they are also in a meeting to summarize everything today.

Viacom's CEO, Philip, explains the current situation:

"Via's share sale talks are progressing well and are expected to conclude within a week, with a price estimate of 28, just $5 million short of the expected selling price."

Lei Shidong asked:

"VIA's stock price has risen to more than 31 yuan now, and it still can't meet expectations?"

Philip shook his head.

Lei Shidong sighed softly, faintly inaudible. There was a moment of silence in the room.

Lei Shidong rubbed his forehead and broke the silence.

"How's the CBS over there?"

"Buyers over there in Chicago are now talking about 11.2."

Lei Shidong asked again:

"What do Sherman's people say?"

Philip knew what he meant:

"Not optimistic, they expect a maximum of 11.4."

"What about the other one?"

"The Chinese buyer introduced by Wells Fargo is now being dragged by Sherman, and is still waiting for our final decision."

Sally finally spoke:

"Drag, what to drag, you should talk to him directly, since he reported 12, and now the stock price is more than 13 dollars, it's no problem to talk about 13. Not only did he pay off the arrears and make up for the vacancy of VIA, but he was also able to leave a sum of money for National Entertainment as a mobile fund. ”

Lei Shidong fell into thought, and he was half loud. He said:

"Via, keep trying. The Chinese still dragged on, and the Chicago one asked Sherman to continue to work hard to see if he could talk about 11.6 or more. ”

Sally spoke again:

"Summer, it's ......"

It's a pity that her words were interrupted by Lei Shidong:

"It's my decision."

Sally glared at her father. Didn't continue to speak.

The negotiations the next day were still spent in a ruffle, and Xiao Yifei didn't care now, so he spent a day like this.

After dinner, after a brief chat with Ryan and them about tomorrow's negotiations, Xiao Yifei began to contact Tina.

"Tina. How about we go to a new bar in the evening? ”

Tina didn't refuse.

"Okay, but I'm going to go home first."

The apartment that Tina bought was actually in Santa Monica, although the house could not see the sea, but the price should not be cheap, it seems that her parents left her a good foundation.

Waiting for Tina to carry the bag down, Xiao Yifei said with a smile:

"We're here to play, are you moving?"

"Where, I went to work without changing my clothes that day, so I can't wear this tomorrow. Where are you going to take me today? ”

"We went to the Sixty Hotel and we heard that there was a nice rooftop bar there."

"Now? All right. I don't swim anyway. ”

The 60 Hotel in Beverly Hills is located on Wilcher Avenue, and its bar is on the rooftop, so you can easily enjoy the night view of Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, and Century City. In addition, there is a heated swimming pool on the roof, so you can drink, swim and watch the night view in the summer. But at this time, no one usually goes down for a swim.

"I know, let's drink and talk and watch the night view."

The parking fee at this hotel is also too expensive, and it charges $38, which is simply a robbery.

Xiao Yifei unexpectedly saw his winery's red wine here, or Napa Cabernet Sauvignon, which retails for $50. But at this point, the price becomes $150. Xiao Yifei ordered a bottle, and the two of them chatted while tasting wine.

Tina used to want to be a doctor, and she had to graduate from a bachelor's degree to go to medical school in the United States. So she went to a random university. When she arrives in California, her dream of stardom is shattered, but she doesn't know what to do in the future.

In the United States, doctors and doctors are the same word, and their actual academic qualifications are basically the same, and the admission rate of medical school is too low, even if you graduate from medical school. It is equivalent to working as an intern doctor in the hospital after the doctorate arrives. Very few people are able to become doctors before the age of 30. After becoming a doctor, there are resident doctors, attending physicians, and then experts, all of whom have to learn and improve their qualifications.

Tina complained:

"I don't want to be a doctor now, it's too boring to be a clerk, and newcomers are always bullied."

"Which industry is like this, what do you want to do now?"

Tina stretched, leaned on the railing, looked at the brightly lit night scene in the distance, and shook her head:

"I just didn't know that Miranda (the black female companion) had persuaded me to become a teacher."

"The teaching profession is also good, and the salary is very good."

"But I still have to study and study, I'm a little annoyed."

Tina's explanation made Xiao Yifei smack.

In China, teachers are generally graduated from normal universities. You don't have to be a teacher at a U.S. university to be a teacher. It is only necessary to take the qualification examination and undergo a certain number of hours of educational training. In addition, California requires secondary school teachers to obtain a master's degree, and Washington State even requires elementary school teachers to obtain a dual master's degree, in addition to a master's degree in education, a master's degree or a master's degree in science.

It's really good to be a teacher in California, because you don't have to pay Social Security and the California Disability Insurance tax, which can be 10% more per month. Although they do not have social security insurance, they still have a pension after retirement. Even if you take out a loan to go to college, you can also forgive the loan and buy a house.

(Social security insurance in the United States is equivalent to our social security.) Unlike our domestic social security, which is not welcomed, it is very popular in the United States. This thing can be said to have affected the entire United States, please check for the specific situation. ）

The starting salary of public primary and secondary school teachers in California is 40,000 US dollars, Tina is a college graduate, and it is easy to get a master's degree while studying, so that she can find a better school district and get the top salary soon, the maximum salary of primary and secondary school teachers in California is 60,000 to 100,000, plus the taxes they pay less, the actual salary is equivalent to 70,000 to 120,000 outside. In 2008, the average salary in the United States was 37,500, and in California it was 40,000, and in the United States, a family of four can live on 1,000 per month, so teaching is indeed a good career.

In general, teaching is a job that pays more than a civil servant, but has a similar salary as a civil servant.

Xiao Yifei could only comfort her: "We have an ancient Chinese saying, only when you suffer hardship can you become a superior person." ”

"I'm still thinking about it." (To be continued.) )xh118
