Chapter 1101 Request
Seoul, Gangnam-gu.
In the luxurious box on the fifth floor of Longhu, where the nightlife of Seoul is known, Shizuka Nagai sits opposite a middle-aged white man in a black dress with sexy tassels. Both of their retinues stood on the sidelines.
"Miss Nagai, will Lu Jing agree to your invitation to meet?" The middle-aged white man asked with some doubts, drinking red wine.
Shizuka Nagai confidently tasted the red wine in the tall glass and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, don't be impatient, I think he will agree." ”
Mr. Li shook his head and looked out the window at the night, there were only five minutes left before the agreed time. The Mitsui consortium has an extremely bad relationship with Kazuka, and he doesn't know if Shizuka Nagai has any way to get Lu Jing to come to the appointment, but he has to talk to Lu Jing.
Just when Mr. Li was thinking about it, a clerk in a suit outside the door walked up to Shizuka Nagai and said respectfully, "Miss, Lu Jing is here." ”
At this time, at the entrance of the hall of Longhu, which was as vast as a garden, a black Rolls-Royce stopped, and Lu Jing, Xu Yongbi, and Yu Le slowly walked into Longhu. A beautiful Seoul Ji greeted her in a cheongsam and didn't speak. A Japanese man in the hall had already walked up to Lu Jing respectfully, and after bowing ninety degrees, "Mr. Lu, the contemptible Ichiro Takeda is Miss Nagai's assistant. On behalf of Ms. Nagai, I would like to welcome Mr. Lu. ”
Looking at the Japanese bowing in front of him, Lu Jing smiled faintly and said to Yu Le: "Yu Le, you said that he was so respectful, is it possible that he is scolding us in his heart?" ”
Yu Le glanced at Ichiro Takeda, who was standing up straight, and said, "That's not for sure." The little devil has always been one in front of him and one behind his back. Land view. Don't show mercy to Shizuka Nagai later. ”
Ichiro Takeda speaks broken Chinese. Yu Le unceremoniously ridiculed Ichiro Takeda.
Yu Le didn't have much respect for Lu Jing, but he took a salary from Hehua. There is still professional ethics. This is his principle. Therefore, the meaning in Lu Jing's words. As soon as he heard it, he echoed the meaning of Lu Jing.
Ichiro Takeda was stunned, and said in his heart: "Eight Geyalu, you dare to slander me." When did I curse you in my heart? What is Miss Nagai's identity, do you still want to go out to greet you? To meet you today is Thomas Lee, Executive Director of Standard Chartered Bank. ”
Lu Jing took in Ichiro Takeda's expression, and said lightly: "Mr. Takeda, lead the way." Naturally, he didn't care what Ichiro Takeda was thinking. Knocking it out is just a drop by.
Ichiro Takeda came back to his senses, lowered his head and respectfully invited Lu Jing and his party to the fifth floor.
Xu Yongbi secretly covered her mouth and smiled, and followed Lu Jing towards the inside of Longhu. She doesn't have a good impression of Mitsui's people. Hehua's several acquisitions of Mitsui were rivals.
The main building of Longfor occupies an extremely large area. It is 50 acres, but the height is only 5 floors. This ensures that the whole building has enough exits and VIP access. Make sure that guests who come to consume do not crash.
In the lavish box, Shizuka Nagai and Thomas Lee sit at a round table covered with a white delicately patterned tablecloth. The two retinues stood on their separate sides. On the round table were two glasses of lighter red wine.
Seeing Lu Jing coming in, Nagai Shizuka smiled charmingly: "Lu Jing, I thought you weren't coming." Ichiro, announce the start of the dinner. Lu Jing, this is Mr. Thomas Lee, the Executive Director of Standard Chartered Bank, and he has some questions that he would like to talk to you about. ”
She gave Lu Jing something that she couldn't refuse, so she was sure to let Lu Jing come to Longhu. Ichiro Takeda answered and walked out of the box door. Shizuka Nagai and Thomas Lee's entourage went out a few.
Lu Jing and the three sat down. Naturally, he doesn't take Shizuka's enthusiasm seriously. In fact, the more charming Shizuka Nagai laughs, the more vicious the ideas turn in her head.
It is impossible not to know that Kawa and Daimler reached an agreement to kick Mitsui out of the modern center of power. He's just curious now. Shizuka Nagai spent a lot of effort to launch Thomas Lee, the executive director of Standard Chartered Bank, what are Shizuka Nagai's plans?
Longhu's waiter quickly brought the dishes in. It's all Western food. Lu Jing said lightly: "Miss Nagai, don't be busy eating." Let's talk about it first. ”
Thomas Lee was a little dissatisfied with Lu Jing's unreasonable cards, and stared at Lu Jing with a pair of gloomy eyes: "Since Mr. Lu wants to talk about it first." So let's talk about it first. Mr. Luk, what happened to Jung Mong-kui's sale of Hyundai's shares to Hyundai Group? I need you to give me an explanation. ”
Standard Chartered Bank and Zheng Mengkui have a VAM agreement, if Zheng Mengkui cannot win the post of chairman of Hyundai Motor, he needs to compensate Standard Chartered Bank for the price of Hyundai Motor's shares, and a total of 5 billion US dollars needs to be paid to Standard Chartered Bank.
However, at the end of April, Zheng Mengkui announced that he would sell his shares to Hyundai Group. This left Standard Chartered Bank with no money in the acquisition.
"Explain?" Lu Jing's eyelids didn't bother to move, "I'm sorry, I have no obligation to explain." ”
Shizuka Nagai smiled slightly, looking like she was watching a good show.
The incident at the end of April is only now being pursued by Standard Chartered Bank, naturally because things have changed. In fact, Zheng Mengkui has been dragging Standard Chartered Bank and not fulfilling the agreement. Because the VAM agreement is stipulated after July 15.
However, Zheng Mengkui suddenly notified Standard Chartered Bank on June 7 that he was ready to pay $5 billion in compensation to Standard Chartered Bank. This made the Standard Chartered bank extremely unhappy, and they wanted a stake in Hyundai Motor even more. And not dollars.
Thomas Lee's face became stern, and he said gloomily: "If Mr. Lu's opinion is so, I will join forces with the big banks in the Asia-Pacific region to sanction Hehua." Mr. Luk will not receive any loans from Standard Chartered Bank's partner banks. Mr. Lu had better think about it. ”
"Haha, haha, it's hilarious." Such a sentence came out of the box very suddenly. Xu Yongbi looked at Yu Le, who was laughing next to her, and was confused: What are you laughing at.
When everyone's eyes in the box gathered, Yu Le snorted coldly and said, "Standard Chartered Bank is so majestic." Sanction and Hua, can you sanction it? Stupid. This is no longer the time of the British Empire. Do you still think that the Far East is the backyard of Britain? ”
Nagai Shizuka was stunned, her Chinese was not particularly good, but this did not prevent her from hearing Lu Jing's entourage scolding Thomas Lee.
Stupid this kind of national scolding, English naturally can't be translated. The interpreter of Standard Chartered Bank looked as if he was constipated, and he didn't know how to tell Director Li.
I day. Lu Jing was also stunned. Yu Le's words are bullish. Directly say that Thomas Lee is a fool. Well, he admits that that's actually what he says. It's just that he is hindered by his identity, so it's hard to say it directly.
Thomas Lee overestimated Standard Chartered's influence. How can other banks have money that doesn't make money? The British Empire has long since sunset. The threat of Thomas Lee, who was still immersed in the afterglow of the British Empire, was stressful for him.
Thomas Lee's translator whispered a few words. Thomas Lee's face turned pale, gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "Take care of your subordinates, Lu." ”
Lu Jing glanced at Thomas Lee and said, "Yu Le is not only my subordinate, but also my friend. ”
Sample, what's wrong with scolding you? Don't think that the Warren consortium and the Mitsui consortium colluded in Australia to do something that I don't know. It's light to scold you.
Thomas Lee's chest rose and fell violently, and he was angry, "Young man, you will pay for this sentence." ”
Shizuka Nagai said in a timely manner: "Mr. Lu, Sumitomo Mitsui Bank will not undertake any business with Hehua in the future. ”
Lu Jing laughed and said, "It seems that I haven't brought money to the bank under the Mitsui consortium, right?" In fact, I wish Mitsui had withdrawn all his investments from China, but the question is whether Ms. Nagai would dare? ”
The global economy is in a period of recovery. Economists who are not blind will see the huge potential of the Chinese market. Population means purchasing power, market. It is impossible for a Japanese consortium to give up the vast Chinese market in the future.
"Let's get down to business! Don't play this kind of bluff trick. It doesn't make sense. Lu Jing mercilessly pierced the disguises of Thomas Lee and Shizuka Nagai.
Thomas Lee's face was gloomy, if his eyes could kill, Yu Le, who was sitting next to Lu Jing, had already died ten times. "Well, Standard Chartered wants to become a shareholder of Hyundai Motor. What conditions do you have. ”
Standard Chartered's investments are certainly focused on high-return sectors. But this is a project he is personally responsible for, and if it doesn't pay off, you can imagine the pressure he faces within the board.
Moreover, Hyundai's share of the auto market has been increasing, and it is not good to hold a stake in Hyundai now. Closing the deal will be beneficial for him to cement his position at Standard Chartered.
This is the reason why he is now reluctant to speak to Lu Jing.
Lu Jing shook his head, "Standard Chartered Bank shouldn't think about coming in and getting a piece of the pie." This matter is not negotiable. $5 billion, Zheng Mengkui will pay to Standard Chartered Bank, and there is no need to say anything else. Shizuka Nagai, what about your business? ”
Shizuka Nagai was uncomfortable being blocked by Lu Jing's words. But it is impossible for her to make Mitsui give up the Chinese market. From the eighties to the nineties, Mitsui began to lay out in China, and now that the harvest season is approaching, how can it be possible to withdraw investment.
However, the banking sanctions she had high hopes for, Lu Jing didn't seem to be afraid at all. Don't look at what Lu Jing said lightly, yes, the era of the British Empire is over. But the rotten ship still has three inches of iron. British banks have a strong appeal in the banking sector.
It will definitely have an impact on Hehua's business development. Shizuka Nagai couldn't understand where Lu Jing's confidence was.
Shizuka Nagai naturally didn't know that Lu Jing would earn more than $10 billion from international crude oil futures with the help of the Iraq War. Standard Chartered Bank's loans, he really can't look at them.
Nagai Shizuka thought for a while and said, "I want to ask Mr. Lu if there is any room for recovery in kicking Mitsui out of Hyundai's power structure." ”
To put it bluntly, today she and Thomas Lee invited Lu Jing to dinner to ask Lu Jing. Because now Hehua has a good hand. It is not like the ignorant newspapers say that Hehua is going to fail.
Daimler had already known about the agreement with Hehua. (To be continued......)
