Chapter Ninety-Seven: Partners
Yulia's delicate arms wrapped around Chen Bo's neck, and a smooth thigh also climbed up.
"I don't deny your attractiveness, you're a very beautiful girl, but I can't do that." Chen Bo hurriedly stopped her affectionate movements.
"Why, that's because you don't feel for me?"
"I respect your cultural traditions, but in my education, only 18 years old is considered an adult." Chen Bo said, "Otherwise, I will feel guilty, it is appropriate to find someone you like to have fun with, you don't have to do this." â
"Is that really the case?" Yulia still didn't give up, and the fullness of her chest was still rubbing against him.
"Of course, just like religion, I'm going to hell." Chen Bo can only make it up like this, a 15-year-old child, although he has developed perfectly, his conscience really does not allow this, if it is replaced by Ivanka, he will not hesitate to correct her on the spot.
But Yulia still didn't let him go, and the night was in fear, walking on thin ice, for fear that he would misfire. When he woke up the next day, the girl was wearing a bikini hanging on top of him, and he was already wearing two panda eyes.
Abu did not forget to tease him at breakfast, after a day and night of sailing, Copenhagen was getting closer and closer, the yacht was not far from the sea, and the two of them sat in the bow of the boat to fish, and it was time to get down to business.
"Satellite photos, unlimited time, regular updates! I need the support of Roscosmos, there are so many remote sensing satellites in space, and being idle is also idle. Chen Bo said his request very directly.
"What else?"
"Invest in Yandex and break into the Eastern European market." In the face of smart people, Chen Bo had no nonsense, and he didn't need nonsense, so he directly stated his conditions.
"I'll let you know when I'm done." Abu didn't talk nonsense, through a few days of contact, he already knew about it, and he also formed a tacit understanding.
"What do you think of my investment in the IT industry, and whether I can succeed?" Abu asked, tilting his head to him.
Investment? Chen Bo definitely welcomes with both hands, of course, not to let him invest in his own projects, but to use his sufficient cash flow to cooperate with B&P funds, now there is no shortage of projects, grab a lot in Silicon Valley, Stanford University is next to the entrepreneurial venture capital street, as long as you have a good idea, you can get seed round start-up capital there.
When the project becomes bigger, the VC of the venture capital will withdraw, and the PE of the strategic venture capital will take over until it is listed, and then it will be dumped to the wealth custody fund. This is a whole chain of venture capital circles, and now B&P is doing portfolio investment, a model of coexistence of securities and venture capital, and it is not a day or two that funds are tight, Iraq is a mess, and Saddam's two sons have been killed, and it is only a matter of time before they are caught. The price of crude oil has to rise, so all this money is also spent here.
Lenovo's negotiations to buy the ThinkPad are in a stalemate, and there is still a gap of about $600 million, which is to be made up by the B&P fund, and if there is no money, you can only find a bank to borrow at this time.
Although News Corp.'s purchase of MySpace is a certainty, and Wendy Deng has also signed a contract, every acquisition of more than $66 million needs to be reviewed by the Federal Trade Commission, which is at least three months, and it is useless if it is not passed.
Ant Search's acquisition of Extreme was not reviewed, mainly because the loss was also calculated when making accounts, and the payment amount was controlled at 65 million US dollars, and the parent company transferred 25 million debts to the project team, although it was actually 90 million, but it reasonably avoided this mechanism.
But with such a large list of $1.99 billion, it is useless for you to move any loss accounts, so it is better to accept the review honestly and pay taxes obediently.
"If you are really interested, we can cooperate to set up an investment fund, to be honest, there are many companies worth investing in, although there are risks, but the returns are very considerable, much stronger than investing in that small terminal in Montenegro." Chen Bo immediately said that Abu had invested in a resort area by the sea in Montenegro, but how could the industry compare to the popular IP of technology.
"How much money is needed? Which companies are you investing in? "It is no accident that Abu can become an oligarch, although he is not familiar with the IT industry, it does not mean that he does not understand anything.
"I partnered with a friend to make a B&P private equity fund, have you heard of it?" Chen Bo smiled mysteriously, and it was time to pretend again.
âb&pīŧ The one that Fortune magazine interviewed last month? Abu was surprised, "That's yours?" â
"Partnership, I account for about 8 percent." Chen Bo gestured and said, "The Internet bubble has squeezed out a lot of water, too many technology stocks have been deliberately depressed in market value, and now is the time for a second spring." Apple, Amazon, and the soon-to-be-listed Google, although I am a competitor with him, do not deny that their future prospects are really good. â
"Good calculation, prepare with both hands." Abu gave him a thumbs up and said, "How do you want to cooperate?" Say the number. â
"B&P buys $2 billion in high-quality assets, you give $3 billion, and we play big, and divide it into four or six." Chen Bo said in a relaxed tone.
He is ready to throw the shares of slower-profitable projects, such as the World Financial Center, and Sweden's Koenigsegg and other companies into it, and then mix some crude oil futures orders. I have to give him some sweetness, Abu has no other resources besides cash, which just complements each other.
"Take some time, you send someone over to talk, and if you can, we can do it together. If I lose money, I'm not in such a good mood. Abu sneered twice, this is a demonstration, he can fight his way out of the turbulent Russia, and he has preserved his wealth, so naturally he has the means.
"Business is business, and you'll find how lucky you are to make today's decision." Chen Bo is not afraid of his threat at all, because he now has a professional investment team, and as long as he is not deliberately aggressive, he will not lose money at all.
"As you say, I'll give you this yacht." Seeing that his expression was firm, Abu did not seem to be a hypocrisy, and promised.
"Then I'll thank you first." Chen Bo laughed and said, 10 million Lao Tzu doesn't accept it, but if I don't accept it worth 150 million euros, I won't be a fool, I am happy to give gifts, and I am in a good mood to receive gifts.
The big ship went around Copenhagen and stayed for two days, and Abu bought and bought for the two juniors generously, and threw out hundreds of thousands of pounds without blinking an eye. Chen Bo has not yet adapted to the consumption habits of this local tyrant, but has purchased some special products, such as silver jewelry, cookies, and world-renowned Lego toys. can not only win the hearts of women, but also carry and coax children.
When Chen Bo returned to London, he finally released the anger he had saved up in the past few days, and Zhukov's side also helped to complete the things he had explained, and it was still in his manor that he met several candidates selected for him.
"Chinese?" A row of men dressed in camouflage stood in front of him, and at the head of the row was a thick man, although his skin was tanned, but his bloodline could be seen at a glance, Chen Bo asked in Mandarin.
"Yes, sir." The man took a step forward and stood in front of him with a sonorous voice.
"Born in '62, James Lipton? How much advertising money was given for you to endorse Lipton Black Tea. Chen Bo looked at the simple information in his hand and teased.
"You can also call me Li Pu by my Chinese name, sir! It's all my pseudonym. â
"Then I'll call you Lipp, introduce yourself, the information is dead, and the person is alive." Chen Bo closed the folder in his hand and said, mercenaries live a life of licking blood with a knife head, there has never been a distinction between nationalities, since they are all code names, then let's just call a pleasant Chinese name.
"I'm from southern Fujian, I have studied economics for a master's degree, and I speak English, French, Portuguese and Spanish Chinese. Later, he joined the French mercenary group and participated in the peacekeeping of the former Yugoslavia. After retiring from the army, he was hired by OE in South Africa to carry out crisis management tasks in Africa. After the company was dissolved, he now works as an instructor at MPRI and has just returned from Iraq. â
"Have you been on a security mission?"
"In Africa, we are often involved in protecting the president and other dignitaries."
"Are you married?"
"My wife is 3 months pregnant!"
Chen Bo nodded, crossed a tick on the list, and then asked several other people one after another, all of whom had extraordinary resumes. Zhukov's shooting range was also borrowed to examine their familiarity with weapons and marksmanship. Finally, after careful consideration, the list of four people was drawn up, and the others all returned the same way.
"In the future, your main task is to protect my safety, and you may also participate in protecting my family, which is certainly much safer than the battlefield where there are no eyes for shells, but it should not be taken lightly. Except for the possibility of flying around the globe frequently, the rest of the time is relatively free, and you will be given enough vacation every year. Chen Bo pulled the four people into a hut, and then each handed a draft contract, "In addition to the basic salary, there are additional bonuses according to performance, but the premise is that in addition to being loyal to their duties, they must also obey the management and not cause trouble." â
"Lip."
"Here."
"In the future, you will be the head of security, go and register a security company, I will transfer 1 million pounds to the registration principal, and I will let Alexander operate the identity and qualification issues, and give you a week to prepare." Chen Bo thought for a while and said, "Later, you will go with me to mention 100,000 pounds as the signing fee for several of you." â
There is no need to go to the battlefield anymore, and there is a large amount of income, unless it is the kind of army maniac, no one wants to do that kind of life that can die at any time, and several people heard that there was still a signing fee to take, and they praised the wisdom of the new boss in unison.
The purpose of registering a company is to legalize, otherwise it will not be possible to get rid of many qualifications of the previous company, such as a legal gun license, there is a difference between civilian guns and security weapons, which is also convenient for management and account arrangement.
"Don't look for someone standing on the street, don't care about the money, just go." Chen Bo waved his hand and said, it is legal for the UK to have a fixed place for one-to-one red light districts, and it is cheap but illegal to stand on the street. These mercenaries are running around all year round, and the first thing to solve when they get to a safe place is physiological problems, and the same man certainly understands this behavior, but he can't violate the local law in order to save money.
In addition to this Chinese fellow, the other three were Yousuf from Israel, Konop from Belarus, and Walter, a black boy from the United States.
