When Min Yusheng arrived at JFK Airport, he was greeted with a presidential welcome.

As a representative of the consortium that once again threw an olive branch to the Kaminari brothers, the Korea Development Bank, which appeared at a time when it was embattled, was tantamount to a savior in the hearts of the Kaminari brothers' top management. Unlike the last time the South Korean side sent a minion, this time Min Yusheng, president of the Korea Development Bank, personally came out and led a large number of high-level executives to New York to personally participate in the negotiations with the Kaminari Brothers, which can be described as full of sincerity.

Jong Seok had already flown to Seoul in person to give full warning to the people of Korea Development Bank and Hana Finance. But two months later, when the South Korean side contacted the Kaminmon brothers again, it was Min Yusheng who could not resist the pressure from the Congress. Because a group of foreign investment banks led by Cho Keon-ho have fully lobbied in the South Korean National Assembly, and even bribes have been paid among them, these laymen in the National Assembly believe that the time has come for Korean capital to go out of the Han River and go to the world. So he put pressure on the Korea Development Bank, the symbol of Korean capital. In this case, Min Yusheng weighed it again and again, and decided to put Zhong Shi's admonition behind him and began to seriously contact the Kaminari brothers.

After all, his position as president of Korea Development Bank was not given to him by Jong-seok.

However, after all, Zhong Shi is the majority shareholder of Korea Development Bank, although he is not the decisive kind of shareholder, but in order to show respect for the other party, he still informed Zhong Shi of his decision, which also reflects the tactfulness of his methods.

(Eventually, Jong-seok and the South Korean side played a game: he would not interfere with the plans of Korea Development Bank and Hana Financial to buy Kamina Brothers, but he would need to appoint someone on the negotiation team to oversee the negotiation process, and he would have that power as a shareholder.) After careful consideration, the South Korean side agreed to Zhongshi's condition, so Jiangshan also followed him to New York.

"Min, we're meeting again!"

President and Chief Operating Officer Herbert. McDaunt received Min Yusheng. He and Dick. Fude is the same. He is also a meritorious veteran of the Kaminari brothers, second only to Dick. Fude. Compared with Min Yusheng's spring breeze, Herbert. McDart's face was much more ugly, not only did he have many wrinkles, but he also had a little more bags under his eyes, and he was much older than the last time they met. But the smile he put on was heartfelt. Because the precarious "life" of the Kaminari brothers was saved.

Dick. Fude didn't come forward because he didn't have the skills. He was in Omaha, Nebraska, where he had been for a week and much longer. In order to convince Warren. Warren Buffett, he had to.

However, all of them are developing on the good side, on the one hand, the Korean side is very sincere in the acquisition, and on the other hand, it is to persuade the "stock god" to help the Kaminari brothers. Both programs were carried out at the same time, and as long as one of them succeeded, the Kaminari brothers were saved.

Face your former boss. Min Yusheng's feelings are a little complicated, from the role of being careful to listen to the other party's reprimand, he suddenly became a "savior" who even the other party has to bend to welcome, this feeling makes him feel secretly refreshed. There was a bit of smugness in his speech, "Herbert, my old friend, you have changed a lot, and the Kaminari brothers have also changed a lot. ”

Herbert. McDart's face suddenly became embarrassed. It's just that this expression only stayed for a second, and he was full of smiles again. "That's true, Min, everything has changed. But we're still friends, aren't we? ”

He skillfully used friendship to resolve the embarrassment, but Min Yusheng didn't seem to buy it, and changed the topic with a hum. A group of people exchanged pleasantries for a long time. Only then did they get into the luxury fleet, and the two parties agreed to start negotiations at the law firm tomorrow.

……

"What are they doing here?" Before entering the negotiation room, Jiang Shan asked puzzledly, "Does the fact that the person in charge of their final affairs did not show up means that they are not sincere enough in this negotiation?" I don't understand. Are all the rumors in the market false? ”

After a night's rest, most of them reluctantly reversed the jet lag, and in order to get them into the state early, Min Yusheng asked them to come to Cromwell's law firm half an hour early. Just when the others were still listless, Jiang Shan asked a very sharp question.

Looking at a group of yawning people, Min Yusheng shook his head imperceptibly, and sighed in his heart, how good would it be if the person who asked this question was their own person? None of his team asked such a question, but rather an outsider, which made him feel a little sad.

Thinking about it, Min Yusheng still replied seriously: "This is a specific negotiation technique, and the 'person who is not present' is very important, and it is generally the CEO." Speaking of this, he deliberately paused and looked at the confused Jiang Shan, "A deal that is about to be reached, all the frameworks have been finalized, but when one party wants to use this as a coercion and ask for more benefits, the other party can use this 'alibi' as a shield to delay time." Because the big picture is set, this benefit is not possible with a little delay. ”

"It's a Wall Street quote and a well-known unspoken rule." Speaking of this, Min Yusheng's face showed a complicated look, "They taught me this qiē at the beginning, but I didn't expect that these things will be used on my head now." I have to say, it's a real irony. ”

Jiang Shan nodded indifferently and didn't say anything more.

"We lost the most money on real estate investments in Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Milwaukee, but they only lost about 50 percent. In metropolises like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Houston, we don't lose much money on the properties we invest in, and some of them even make a profit. This is a small achievement and I am quite proud. ”

When negotiations between the two sides began, the Kaminari brothers presented their current assets. As the most important part, it is naturally the real estate investment, because this part of the assets determines the total assets of the Kaminari brothers. Mark. Walsh, as head of commercial real estate marketing at Kaminham Brothers, briefed the South Korean side on this.

Mark. Walsh wasn't tall, but he was very muscular, his white shirt couldn't hide the bulging muscles in his chest, and his neck was as thick as his head, which made him look a little abrupt in the crowd. In order to let the Korean side know the current situation of real estate held by the Kaminari brothers, he and his colleagues made a PPT with more than 30 pages. By the time we were done, it was almost noon.

"I want to know about your properties in Houston." Min Yusheng asked quietly, "Just talk about the earnings of the past year." All we need is some basic numbers, such as the price at the time of purchase, the current market valuation, and how much property we hold. How long are you prepared to hold it, etc. ”

Despite the fact that Mark. Walsh spoke wildly, but Min Yusheng still keenly caught a hint of panic in his eyes. He didn't break it, but pretended to be careless and threw a question. Problems within Walsh's scope of business.

Sure enough, after Min Yusheng asked this question, Mark. The panic in Walsh's eyes became even more palpable. He was stunned for a long time, and then he pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and replied with a forced smile: "That's right, Mr. Min." I don't think it's early. Why don't we have lunch first, and I'll answer your question in detail after lunch, I don't know if that's okay? ”

Min Yusheng's heart tightened, but the smile on his face remained unchanged, and after nodding, he muttered to Zhao Jianhao beside him: "I suspect that this guy has not prepared anything, it is really too perfunctory." ”

He said it in Korean, and the Kaminari Brothers leaders across the table couldn't understand what they were discussing. However, Zhao Jianhao's face instantly became gloomy. They can still guess the general content. Everyone stood up and walked outside. It's just that most of them are in a complicated mood, so much so that they can't taste what lunch tastes like.

Among this group of people, Zhao Jianho is undoubtedly the most embarrassing one: first of all, as the CEO of Kaminari Brothers Korea, he must be on the side of Kamina Brothers. However, the people of Korea Development Bank and Hana Finance hired Kamina Brothers Korea as the financial adviser of this transaction, making them the Korean side again, so between the two parties. There was a time when he was torn between a rock and a hard place.

If he was just an ordinary employee in South Korea, Cho would certainly not have similar troubles, and there are many cases of subsidiaries acquiring parent companies as financial advisers, and even subsidiaries acquiring parent companies. But Cho's position in South Korea is unique, and his connection to the New York headquarters is tied to him alone. So at this point, he can only bite the bullet and help the Korea Development Bank to make suggestions.

Fortunately, so far, the high-level leaders of the Kaminari Brothers have not made any moves to inquire about the news through Zhao Jianhao, which has secretly relieved him of a lot of pressure. He has made up his mind to stand firmly on the side of the Korea Development Bank this time, because he may not be able to mix on Wall Street, but he will definitely be able to do it in Seoul.

However, his face was gloomy just now, and it was obvious that he had sent a signal to the higher-ups of the Kaminari Brothers, and he was sure that the other party had also captured this signal in time.

After a short break after lunch, the two sides continued to negotiate.

"Alright, Mr. Min, let's move on to the morning's topic." Mark. Walsh is now full of confidence, and his face is full of confidence, "On our investment in Houston ......"

"Wait a minute!" Min Yusheng interrupted his narration in time, only to see him say slowly, "I don't want to know about investing in Houston now." I would like to know about Kaminhamon Brothers' real estate investment in Chicago, I wonder if it can? ”

Mark. Walsh was stunned.

He had just eaten at lunchtime, and he had been preparing the Kaminari Brothers' investment numbers in Houston, and after finally memorizing these numbers, the other party actually changed places, which made him think of it in a hurry?

In fact, it's not just a matter of not being able to think about it, but these numbers are just too bad, so bad that Mark. Walsh didn't have the heart to pay attention to any of this. For Min Yusheng's temporary change of hexagram, he was a little resentful, but more sad. Because he found out that this little trick of his own was discovered.

And no one on the Kaminari brothers side stood up for him, and at this time he could only bear the consequences. He hesitated for a long time, and finally had to admit: "I'm sorry, Mr. Min, I can't provide you with these numbers for the time being." But give me some time, and I'll submit the full number to you. ”

"No need!" Min Yusheng was still expressionless, but his words were not for Mark. Walsh said, but on the other side of the iron-faced Herbert. McDartt, "I don't think it's appropriate to negotiate in this situation, and we should both prepare as soon as possible to avoid a similar situation again." ”

On the first day of negotiations, the two sides broke up unhappily. However, so far, both sides are still in the initial contact stage and have not shown their cards, so the negotiations will continue. (To be continued......)
