Chapter 639: It's Just a Business Negotiation

readx;

The car stopped in front of an old-fashioned café not far from the manor, and Duke pushed the door to get out of the car, motioned for the bodyguard and the driver to stay outside, and walked in alone. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Wellington was a little cold in winter, pushing open the two wooden doors, the warm smell was accompanied by the aroma of coffee, Duke turned his head, his eyes slowly swept over the café he had been to several times before, maybe it was a weekday, there were not many people here, but on his right, away from the counter, sat a tall blonde woman.

The woman was slowly stirring the cup of coffee in front of her with a spoon, and the falling blonde hair covered the small half of her face, making it impossible to see her face.

She seemed to be thinking about something, her brow furrowed faintly under her blonde hair, and her eyes were a little straight.

"A latte."

Speaking to the waiter next to him, Duke walked over the way, his eyes kept looking at the blonde woman.

Perhaps sensing something, the blonde woman stopped the stirring in her hand, raised her hand and pulled down her long golden hair, and her eyes caught Duke's figure for the first time, and retracted it little by little with his footsteps.

Walking to the table, Duke took off his coat and sat down across from the blonde woman.

The two looked at each other, and neither seemed to mean to speak first, until the waiter brought the coffee, and Duke said thank you.

He added sugar and milk to his coffee and looked back at the other side again.

"Hello, Evie."

Looking at Ivanka? Trump's familiar face, Duke said slowly, "You're as pretty as ever." ”

The difference is that Ivanka's temperament is more calm, and her face has more shrewdness that belongs to a businessman.

"You haven't changed much." Ivanka smiled faintly. "Scarlett? What about Johnson? Why didn't you see her? ”

"She has a job to do and stays in North America."

Picking up the coffee, Duke took a sip and exclaimed, "The coffee here is still as good as ever." ”

Ivanka didn't even look at her cup of coffee, which had gone cold. With his hands crossed, he slowly placed it on the table in front of him, and said like an old friend, "After filming the Lord of the Rings, you liked to come here for a cup of coffee. ”

As if awakened by the past, a smile appeared on Duke's lips. "When you're working overtime, you like to come here and buy me a cup back."

"That's just an assistant's job." Ivanka beckoned and called the waiter over, "I want a latte too." ”

Waiting for the waiter to take away the cold coffee, she said again. "In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed."

Duke put down his coffee cup, "You've gone from an assistant to a famous strong woman in the United States." ”

Strong women? Ivanka? Trump sighed in his heart, will someone who can't even control the fate of the company he founded be a strong woman?

But she knew the character of the person sitting opposite, a man who was as strong as a stone, and who showed no mercy to his enemies.

"Where are you going next?" Ivanka asked about a vacation.

Duke naturally understood this and said. "To Australia, Tom? Cruise and Nicole? Kidman invited me to go hunting on their farm. ”

"You've been working with him?" Ivanka asked casually.

"Mission Impossible" is about to start its fourth part." Duke also put his arms on the table, "Tom's appeal is still very strong. ”

As a matter of fact. After seeing the Academy's impossibility of awarding an acting award to itself at the turn of the century, Tom? Cruise is getting closer and closer to Duke in business cooperation, plus there is no Nicole? Kidman's divorce and the firing of Pyter? Jin Sili and other negative events, his image and box office appeal are far stronger than in the same period.

is far from falling to the point of relying only on "Mission Impossible" to support the scene.

"Looks like you're going to have a big expense again."

Speaking of which, Ivanka? Trump duly changed the subject, "I heard that you also invested in James?" How many big projects such as Cameron's new movie? ”

"yes." Duke doesn't deny it either. After thinking about it, he said deliberately. "Especially James? Cameron's projects could require $200 million in cash payments over the next two years. This amount of liquidity is not a small amount. ”

Ivanka smiled slightly, and said naturally, "If you have difficulties, just ask, believe that I can still help a little." ”

Hearing this, Duke also smiled slightly, "With my fixed assets and credit, it's no problem to borrow hundreds of millions of dollars from the bank." ”

Ivanka pursed her lips and was about to say something when the waitress brought her coffee.

She didn't add sugar or milk to her coffee, she didn't drink it, she just put it in front of her and stirred it slowly as she had begun.

Duke knew that it was impossible for the two to go back to the past, and the huge difference of interests between the capitals could not make the two become close friends.

It can also be seen from the temptation between each other just now that they are both wary.

If you want to let go of the contradictions caused by the conflict of capital, where is the place to drink a cup of coffee and sit together and be nostalgic, otherwise there will not be so many wars without gunpowder in the mall, and the Empire State Building and the Golden Gate Bridge will not become popular suicide sites.

Picking up the coffee cup, Ivanka finally took a sip, only to feel that her mouth was full of bitterness, and this bitterness went all the way down, seeming to penetrate every corner of her body, and this taste was very similar to her sharing the situation in the company in real time.

If it weren't for the extremely difficult situation she was about to face, with her pride and the almost irreparable rift between the two, how could she take the initiative to meet in New Zealand.

She knew what kind of person Duke was, and she knew that she was not on his side, but if she worked hard, she could succeed after all.

Sighing in a low voice, Ivanka is no longer going around in circles, it is very obvious that even if she goes around again, it will not make a difference.

She looked up, looked at Duke, and asked, "What the hell do you think about instant sharing?" ”

Duke knew she was talking about a deal with Google, and he didn't go around in circles, saying very simply, "I'm just making choices that are in my interest." ”

Hearing this, Ivanka frowned slightly, Duke's words have already explained his current attitude, this has nothing to do with any past and emotional factors, it is just a business negotiation!

She gave up those unrealistic hopes and said, "Ten percent above Google's bid, I want half of your shares!" ”

Duke holds nearly 45 percent of the voting shares, and as long as he can get half of it, Ivanka will be able to achieve a controlling stake, and even if Google joins, it will have the most important voice within the company.

"It can't be." Duke shook his head slowly, "I'm bullish on Google's future." ”

That's just one thing, on the other hand, why would Google trade it for its own shares if it doesn't have the most shares in hand? They don't just want to take a stake in Instant Share, but they are optimistic about the future of the industry, and they want Instant Share to eventually become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Google.

The transfer of nearly half of the equity in his hands, the negotiations with Google will definitely come to naught.

"Evie, you understand the value of this twenty percent stake." Duke again uttered the fact, "You don't have that much money. ”

"I can raise money from Wall Street." Ivanka seems to have made up her mind, "Google is not the only one who is optimistic about instant sharing, Credit Suisse, Allianz, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase are all interested in investing, as well as ......"

She quickly shut up.

Duke said the second half for her, "And Donald?" Trump's Trump Foundation, completing this acquisition, will also allow the Trump Organization to achieve industrial transformation, right? ”

This kind of thing can't be denied, and there's no need to deny it, Ivanka? Trump nodded slightly.

"All I can say is sorry." Duke picked up his cup and drank the coffee inside, "This deal will be official when I'm on vacation." ”

Ivanka's hand holding the coffee cup tightened suddenly, "Duke, is there no possibility of termination?" ”

After all, she knew what kind of person Duke was.

"What do you want?" Ivanka stared at this side, "How can I walk away from this deal?" ”

Duke didn't mean to joke, and said very seriously, "It's simple, something that can exceed the value that a deal with Google brings me to expect." ”

"And these things ......," he shook his head slightly, "Evie, neither you nor the Trump Organization behind you can give it." ”

Donald? Trump's net worth is only a few billion dollars, and even if you count the funds that his Trump Foundation can raise, how much can it have?

Google is paying far more than they can afford.

From OK Ivanka? After Trump's purpose, Duke did not intend to let himself be affected by the relationship between the two men.

This is just a business negotiation, and it is undoubtedly very stupid to bring too much emotion into a business negotiation.

To put it bluntly, even if it's disgust with Donald? Trump, as long as the Trump Organization can come up with something that appeals to him, Duke will not mind transferring his shares to them.

But only if Duke wants to know that what they come up with will be as promising as Google.

If the Trump Organization were to take a stake in Microsoft, Apple or General Electric, Duke would be willing to sell it, but the problem is that the Trump Organization would not be able to get it.

Seeing Duke's resolute attitude, Ivanka understood that this meeting might not bring any effect.

Nowadays, the North American financial and real estate markets are not developing well, and the Trump Organization wants to complete the transformation with the rise of new industries, and instant sharing is particularly important.

Ivanka didn't want to give up instant sharing, and before she came, her father repeatedly told her not to give up.

"That's it, Evie." Duke stood up, "If you have the chance, you are welcome to visit the Duke's Manor." ”

Seeing that Duke was about to leave, Ivanka also stood up. (To be continued)
