Chapter 395: Joint Venture
Seoul, South Korea, Hyundai Group Headquarters, President's Office
"Report to the president, the chairman of the American Saturn Motors came to visit, and he wanted to see the president by name......" The voice of the president's female secretary came out of the transponder on the table, Zheng Mengjiu was stunned when he heard this, and Zheng Beishi across the desk glanced at him, Zheng Beishi shook his head, indicating that he did not know in advance, and the other party had not made an appointment with him, the president of Hyundai Group couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, my Hyundai Group is one of the largest enterprises in South Korea, and a modern empire ranked among the world's top 500, Nima is a person who can break in indiscriminately and see the president by name?
"Let's just say that the president is in a meeting, ask him to make an appointment for another time, and today's schedule is full, and I will go to meet the members of Congress and the Olympic Committee officials later, and I will definitely not be able to receive it in the morning, if he wants, you can let him wait, and when the president is free, I will invite him to come up and meet......" Zheng Mengjiu gave instructions to his secretary on the phone, but he didn't expect that as soon as he threw down the microphone, the transponder rang stubbornly again, and when he picked it up, it was still the secretary's voice, "The president, the chairman of the Saturn Motors, said, Today he is going to return to Incheon, if our company is not interested in the big deal sent to the door, I am afraid that the two sides will not have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, which will seriously affect the future of Hyundai Motor in the American market! ”
"Bastard, dare to threaten me?!" Zheng Mengjiu couldn't help but get angry, and Zheng Beishi, who was opposite, rubbed his hands and anxiously admonished, "President, why don't you go and talk to the other party first, and see what kind of calculation this nouveau riche Saturn Automobile Chairman is making, I heard that ...... He is now a hot ace agent on Wall Street, with more than $3 billion in fund assets......"
"What about more than $3 billion? That's the money of the fund investor and not his personal wealth, I just don't feel angry that this Yankee now dares to go to South Korea to spread wild, now is not the time of the Korean War, the days of white-skinned monkeys flaunting their might and bullying us Koreans are long gone! Zheng Mengjiu's anger was still unsubsided, and the female secretary on the other end of the frightened intercom covered her mouth and didn't dare to speak out loud, but Zheng Beishi knew the temper of the head of his house, and waited for him to calm down for a while, before he smiled and said, "Of course, the president of Hyundai Group can't just call someone to meet without making an appointment, but I, the CEO of Hyundai Motor, always want to meet the other party, and see what big deal the other party sends to the door......
Zheng Mengjiu didn't speak with a gloomy face when he heard this, and finally waved his hand, and Zheng Beishi stepped forward and instructed the president's secretary on the other side of the receiver, "The president is not free, I am Zheng Beishi, so I will invite the other party to my office to meet......"
Five minutes later, the dusty Jiang Yelin and the beautiful assistant Jessica Abel appeared in the office of Hyundai Motor CEO Zheng Beishi, in fact, Zheng Beishi still has the title of senior vice president of Hyundai Group, but within the group, each piece has its own stall, his main job is to lead the daily operation of Hyundai Motor Company, but the major policies are all Zheng Mengjiu, who is also the chairman of Hyundai Motor, has the final say.
"Your Excellency is the CEO of Hyundai Motor? Zheng Beishi, fortunately, Ye Django, the chairman of Saturn Motors in the United States, but I came to see Mr. Zheng Mengjiu, although I didn't have time to make an appointment, but your president's shelf is too big, right? If I hadn't wanted to embarrass you and the front desk lobby manager below, I'd have just walked away......"
Jiang Yelin and Zheng Beishi looked at each other and shook hands with a smile, the 48-year-old Zheng Beishi looked well-dressed and a bit of a professional manager, and the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose made the other party's small eyes look a little miniatur, but also a little amiable, Jiang Yelin's words were not polite, and it was understandable that he was in a bad mood when he changed who was very arrogant and wanted to see the president of the other party, but he was called back.
"I'm really sorry, the president's schedule today is very full, if you want to say that you can ask the elder to come out and meet with your Excellency to talk about taking a photo together, but when it comes to specific business or what kind of business, if it is related to the automobile industry, the amount does not exceed 5 million US dollars, I, the CEO of Hyundai Motor, can call the shots......" Zheng Beishi smiled and invited the guests to sit in front of the sofa, his office is about 80 square meters, graceful but not luxurious, There is also a translucent screen with a silk lady between the sitting area and the desk.
Zheng Beishi's female secretary quickly served tea and coffee, Jessica Abel asked for jasmine-li tea, this blonde and blue-eyed tall foreign girl has been Jiang Yelin's temporary assistant since she began to learn oriental culture in an all-round way, Chinese language and tea culture are the breakthrough points chosen by the girl, of course, jasmine-flower tea is more favored by the girl because of its fragrant aroma, as for the bitter and sweet green tea, Jessica has not yet reached the point where she can be sweet.
Jiang Yelin's choice is naturally coffee, Zheng Beishi's secretary is a little eye-catching, or he admires and favors a young, handsome and golden boss like Jiang Yelin, and the coffee served is a serious Blue Mountain taste, but the cup is indeed a little smaller, and it looks like he can drink it in a few sips.
"Does Chairman Zheng still come to work at the group headquarters every day? I can go to visit when I leave, although I said that I lost the presidential election and Congress last year, but the achievements of Zheng's predecessors in politics and business have always been a good spur and incentive for me......" Jiang Yelin sniffed the mellow aroma of coffee and expressed his respect for the founder of Hyundai Group, and Jessica Abel on the side looked at the jasmine-flower-tea in her hand, and wondered in her heart if she was too reserved last night, and the lonely man and widow lived in a presidential suit with the boss, but nothing happened, I'm afraid it's not scientific enough.
Of course, it's not a lonely man and a widow, after all, CEO Jill Lexton, the two red-haired mature women who are the mothers of the children, also live in the second bedroom of the presidential suite, is it because of this relationship that the boss has no chance to take advantage of? No, although the boss looks at himself with appreciation, he doesn't have the kind of eyes that are really obsessed with lust and only think about good things, or rather, because of the relationship between the beautiful Helen? Helen became the first female president of Saturn Motors, and behind it was not just the title and influence of Daddy Lacey's senior vice president of General Motors...... Helen is also a single beauty and a public lover......
In addition to being a few years younger, Jessica has no confidence in front of her former boss Helen, in terms of appearance, figure, knowledge, conversation, and even the innate noble and cold temperament, Jessica feels that she can't compare with Helen Lacey at all, and the only advantage is that she is young and lively, and she dares to take the initiative to pursue any opportunity that will help her future development...... What Jessica can't confirm is whether Helen Lacey has already landed early to become the chairman...... There's always a chance, right? A single aristocrat like Boss on Wall Street is still so young, handsome and attractive, I'm afraid it's hard for anyone to resist this temptation and attraction.
Saturn Motors' salary for Jiang Yelin, the chairman, is an annual salary of 800,000 US dollars, plus an annual call option of 300,000 shares, in fact, this is the price code offered by Merrill Lynch, as the second shareholder of Saturn Automobile, in order to retain Jiang Yelin...... Merrill Lynch's income is based on an annual fund management fee of 2.5% of the fund's net value, while the performance of Jiang Yelin, the fund manager, depends on the annual net profit of the entire fund......
For Merrill Lynch, the G3 series of funds with a scale of more than 3 billion US dollars is a golden rooster that will lay eggs, if the net value of the fund maintains steady growth, the fund management fee alone is as high as 75 million US dollars a year, of course, the G3 fund is not managed by one person, theoretically the operating expenses of the entire GPC special venture capital department have to be paid from the management fee of the G3 series of funds, and at the same time, due to the high-frequency trading of G3 funds in the market and the trading methods of large-scale securities financing and financing, Merrill Lynch's largest income in the G3 fund is the largest income of Merrill Lynch in the first quarter of this year, and the young genius of Wall Street and his special risk management department have made Merrill Lynch a lot of money.
"Mr.Ye, I welcome your visit on behalf of Xiàn Automobile and the Group, before the secretary said that there is a big deal to discuss, I would like to hear about it......" Zheng Beishi reluctantly pulled his attention back from the blonde and blue-eyed beauty assistant beside the other party, and looked at Jiang Yelin with a smile, in Zheng Beishi's opinion, this Wall Street genius has definitely not a low taste for women, why does this female assistant around him look so eye-catching, to say that Korean artificial beauty is a must in the world, but people are obviously natural beauties, and, The eyes are too hot...... The two sides haven't talked about any serious business yet, and Zheng Beishi has begun to be a little envious and jealous at this time.
"Mr. Zheng is the CEO of Hyundai Motors, and I can talk to you about this deal, but you just said that your approval authority is only 5 million US dollars, which is embarrassing, and my time is very limited, if I can't negotiate with Hyundai Motors, I am going to go to Busan and have a casual meal with the boss of Kia Motors...... Jessica, don't tell people to say that we didn't make an appointment in advance this time......" Jiang Yelin's words were false, Jessica covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly on the side, nodded and didn't speak.
"This, in fact, President Zheng Mengjiu will ask carefully about everything, but the president does have a full schedule today, please forgive me for the neglect, what is the same as talking to me, I will report to the president as soon as possible and feedback our opinions......" Zheng Beishi was of course unhappy in his heart, and people made it clear that he laughed at himself The authority of the CEO of Hyundai Motor is only 5 million US dollars, in fact, this guy does not understand the South Korean Hyundai Group, before Zheng Zhouyong did not retire as president, As the president and CEO, Zheng Mengjiu's own approval authority is only 10 million US dollars, of course, an investment of 10 million US dollars is not a small amount for a company like South Korea's Hyundai.
"Okay, please convey to your president, Saturn Motors is going to find a partner to bid for Daewoo Motors, a subsidiary of the Daewoo Group, and we only need the Daewoo plant in North America, the Daewoo plant in Incheon and Hanoi, and the joint venture automobile company with a 50% investment in each side...... That's all I have to say, say goodbye first......" Jiang Yelin drank the coffee in his hand, put down his words and walked away with the beautiful assistant, Zheng Beishi couldn't keep it at all.
