Chapter 762: London Trip

This river and lake is very calm.

At least, in Su Chunfeng's opinion, compared to the monstrous waves set off by himself in his previous life, as the inheritor of trickery, smashed into this river and lake like a boulder, the Qimen rivers and lakes in this life are really too calm.

Perhaps except for the officials and a few people in the rivers and lakes, the vast majority of people and forces do not know that this kind of good situation in which the undercurrent is surging but does not cause a large-scale fierce conflict is the result of Su Chunfeng's careful layout and painstaking creation--if he had not made a move, the current Qimen rivers and lakes would ......

How many people have to die?

No one can say clearly, but perhaps, Diao Ping has become a demon.

Probably because at the Qimen Jianghu Conference in the capital, the official represented by Luo Tonghua completely annoyed the warlocks of the Pingyang system, right? Diao Ping killed Liao Yongshan's family of three, and was shot in Yuehai Province, the mountain gate seems to be secretive, but in fact it is almost blatant to begin to operate on the Qimen rivers and lakes, some forces are secretly eyeing Wang Qimin, Diao Ping's master and apprentice, and they may secretly shoot at any time, and with the Qimen Jianghu on the big stage of the international magic world, many Jianghu forces are no longer officially fettered, and they are in contact with the magic forces of various countries on their own...... Everyone regards the current rivers and lakes as surging, and the prosperous Qimen rivers and lakes are gradually magnificent. The warlock of the Pingyang department, Wang Qimin and Diao Ping's master and apprentice are walking on the road of revenge, Tie Gua Xian is still in retreat, Gong Hu is happy to live at home, and Su Chunfeng is busy with the work and development of Vantone Logistics Group. They really don't seem to pay attention to the affairs of Qimen Jianghu anymore, even if it is, the inheritors of trickery Wang Qimin and Diao Ping, who they clearly support, have nothing to do with them.

The second day of the National Day holiday.

Far away in London, England, Su Chunfeng and Wang Haifei sat on a passenger boat, watching the scenery along the Thames River.

"It's not the same London I imagined." Wang Haifei looked at the buildings outside with a strong ancient Victorian style and said softly.

"Disappointed?" Su Chunfeng said with a smile.

"Nope." Wang Haifei said with some fascination in his eyes: "It's beautiful, classical architectural aesthetics and modern architecture seem to be located on both sides of the river, but being in it, feeling the prosperity of ancient civilization and modern technology, will make people alternate between time and space in two dimensions." ”

Su Chunfeng nodded, thoughtful.

Wang Haifei didn't understand why these words made Su Chunfeng fall into thought, so he smiled and diverted the topic: "Chunfeng, you said that there are warlocks in foreign countries." ”

"Oh yes." Su Chunfeng came back to his senses and said with a smile: "For example, there are here." ”

"Is the legend of the European vampire true?"

"Maybe, I don't know ......" Su Chunfeng thought for a while and said, "But since in the history of our China, demons and monsters were all real things that existed or even exist now, then, there are legends such as vampires and werewolves in Western countries, which should probably be true." ”

Wang Haifei shrugged: "It's scary to think about." ”

"No matter how terrible the demons and monsters are, they are nothing more than fangs and bloodthirsty and some cruel witchcraft, which is not very harmful, at least these foreign magicians, wizards, mages, and warlocks in China can solve the existence of these evil foreign objects." Su Chunfeng sighed lightly and said, "What is really terrifying is precisely the human ...... It's like lions and tigers are fierce, and wolves are fierce and cunning, but since the history of human civilization, how many people have died under the fangs and teeth of fierce beasts and fierce birds? And how many beasts have been killed by humans, and how many humans have been killed by humans? Obvious. This is the power and the horror of wisdom. The so-called law of the jungle just shows that human beings are still animals, but wisdom makes this cruel law become a coat of civilization. Of course, wisdom can at least make us live a more colorful life, make ourselves happier, and allow us to explore and pursue an idealized civilization. ”

"It's philosophical." Wang Haifei quipped.

"Do you worship me?"

"Phew!" Wang Haifei chirped: "I'm really not ashamed! ”

Su Chunfeng laughed at it.

"Chunfeng." Wang Haifei said: "I think, let's contact Lifei, otherwise Lifei will definitely be angry if she knows that we happen to be visiting London in the past few days on National Day." ”

"Okay, you can call her in a moment." Su Chunfeng responded briskly.

Coincidentally, Zhang Lifei is currently playing the female lead in a modern emotional TV series "International Students in Europe" in the filming stage, and the crew has been in London these days. The reason why Su Chunfeng chose to take Wang Haifei to London during the National Day holiday was mainly because Vantone International Logistics Express Company acquired 61% of the shares of London Fissell Express Company, which reached a critical period. Although this aspect of the matter is mainly Zong Xiange's eldest apprentice, that is, Li Yuebai, chairman of Vantone International Logistics Express Company, as well as Zong Xiange's eldest daughter Zong Yue, the youngest son Zong Meng and others are responsible, but such a major transnational acquisition transaction, Su Chunfeng and cousin Chen Yufang, of course, have to attend - the negotiations have lasted nearly three months, and the biggest bottleneck in the negotiations is that Vantone hopes that after the acquisition of Fisher Express Company to become the controlling party, all branches of Fishel Express in Europe, It will be directly merged into Vantone International Logistics Express Company, and the brand name of Fisher will also be phased out within two years.

In addition, there were difficult negotiations on Fisser's debt.

The final price given by Vantone International Logistics Express is 730 million US dollars, and it is also responsible for repaying 34.8% of the debt of Fissell Express, which is close to 400 million US dollars.

In order to facilitate the rapid opening of the global layout of Vantone International Logistics Express, in the early days of the company's establishment, the plan for the cross-border acquisition of an express delivery company has been placed on the desk of the senior management of the group company. Because simply opening the channel step by step obviously takes a long time, and correspondingly, it will also bring great financial losses. Choosing a mature foreign express company, although it requires great financial support, but in the long run, it is in line with the company's strategic development interests. It is true that there is a great deal of risk involved, but the biggest reliance of Vantone International Logistics Express Company is that it currently occupies 21% of the share of the domestic express delivery industry in China, and it is still growing. Moreover, China's domestic economic development momentum is extremely fast and stable, and the broad prospects of the express logistics industry are almost predictable. What's more, the news that Vantone International Logistics Express Company is going to carry out cross-border acquisitions has also caused great repercussions in China. The senior level of relevant state departments have paid special attention to and supported it. With such a stable and solid company foundation in China, the development of the country's good economic situation, and the government as the backing of the enterprise, Vantone International Logistics Express Co., Ltd. naturally dares to implement the strategic decision of transnational acquisition.

As for funding......

The major shareholders of Vantone International Logistics Express Co., Ltd. are Vantone Logistics Group and Zongheng International Shipping Group. And now Vantone Logistics Group, Mo said that several powerful shareholders have clearly expressed their support for cross-border acquisitions, as long as the group opens its mouth to the bank, which bank is willing to lend.

At present, the most critical problem is that after Chinese enterprises go to developed countries in Europe, they will not adapt to the water and soil, such as laws, industry rules, different concepts of operation and management, and so on.

And this problem requires Su Chunfeng to come forward even more.

Because, when the Fessel Express Company, which mainly operates in European countries, sold more than 30% of its equity to an American company a few years ago due to the debt crisis caused by continuous losses due to poor management, but it is a pity that Fessr, which has received strong financial support, has not been able to get out of the predicament for several years, and finally has to consider selling the entire company. The American company that acquired more than 30 percent of the shares that year was the property of the Douglas family, a family of magicians in California, USA.

That's a bit interesting.

From the perspective of the global development strategy of Vantone International Logistics Express, through this acquisition transaction, further contact and even cooperation with the Douglas family in the United States is expected to smoothly open the North American market. At the end of the negotiation process of this acquisition, the main person in charge of Vantone International Logistics Express began to try to talk to the Douglas family about cooperation in the United States, but the patriarch of the Douglas family, Elman Douglas, unexpectedly appeared, met with Li Yuebai, and claimed that the Douglas family was very happy to cooperate with the Huaxia Qimen Jianghu forces, however, he believed that although this was a business cooperation negotiation between companies and companies, it should be handled by more professional people, but he still hoped that he could personally communicate with Zongxian Ge, Or Su Chunfeng, to negotiate the acquisition of the equity of Fisher Express, and the next possible cooperation between the Douglas family business and Vantone International Logistics Express.

So this time in the acquisition negotiations in London, Su Chunfeng came.

Zongxian Ge went to the United States.

Before coming to London, Su Chunfeng didn't plan to tell Zhang Lifei, who was filming in London, because Zhang Lifei knew, Pei Jia naturally knew, and coincidentally, Luo Tonghua, Shi Linhuan, Bai Xingyong and others were invited to London to participate in a European magic exchange conference.

If you come and go like this, you will inevitably have to meet these people during this trip to London.

The problem is that Su Chunfeng doesn't want Luo Tonghua to know that he is in London - since the Qimen Jianghu Conference held in the capital, Su Chunfeng has never contacted Luo Tonghua, which is of course an element of anger, and more importantly, it is necessary to clearly let the official know that he Su Chunfeng ...... There is a bottom line, and dare to let go. And Luo Tonghua seems to have a prejudice against the warlocks of the Pingyang system, so he has not contacted Su Chunfeng.

As a result, there is a very strange calm on the Qimen rivers and lakes.

Without the warlocks of the Pingyang system, the rivers and lakes are very boring.
