Zuo Jiang smiled and said: "Mr. Simon, your idea is very good, I appreciate it very much, it is your sincere attitude and rigorous work style that moved me, I decided to hand over the design work of the Harry Potter Hotel to you, I hope we have a happy cooperation!" He stood up and shook Simon's hand.

Simon prepared a lot of rhetoric in order to persuade Zuo Jiang, but he didn't expect that a third of Zuo Jiang decided to ask him to do the design, which made him feel that he had no place to use his strength, and he could think of Zuo Jiang's understanding of him in the future, but he was very happy, after all, he got what he was eager to get, he had been standing when he said it, and hurriedly shook Zuo Jiang's hand: "Mr. Harry Potter, I believe that our cooperation is pleasant and fruitful!" ”

Seeing the success of the cooperation between the two sides, Jenny went to the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of champagne to open it, poured three glasses, and gave them to Zuo Jiang and Simon, saying, "Cheers to the success of our cooperation!" When the three glasses touched each other, the three of them happily toasted the wine in the glasses.

Zuo Jiang put down the wine glass and beckoned Simon to sit down and speak, Simon put the wine glass on the coffee table and sat opposite Zuo Jiang, Zuo Jiang said to Simon: "Mr. Simon, the full name of your company is Simon Architectural Design Company, right?" ”

Simon said, "Yes, Mr. Harry Potter, so the address of the company is in New York, and the word New York in front of it will do." ”

"Oh!" Zuo Jiang pretended to be very surprised and said: "So, Mr. Simon's company is only engaged in architectural design? ”

Simon smiled embarrassedly and said, "Yes, Mr. Harry Potter!" If this was asked by Zuo Jiang before the cooperation was confirmed, Simon would definitely not be able to support him, after all, only engaging in architectural design is a symbol of no strength for many architectural companies in the United States, and Simon relies on his reputation as an assistant to Mr. Borg, a famous architectural design master in the United States.

Zuo Jiang then directly inserted into the core of the question: "Mr. Simon, I know that in the United States, general architectural companies have their own special architectural design departments, and hire famous architectural designers to preside over the design work, and more architectural companies are initiated and established by architectural designers, since they are the bosses and chief architectural designers, why don't you set up such a company?" ”

Simon was very embarrassed by Zuo Jiang's words, but he still told the truth: "Mr. Harry Potter, I also want to have my own construction company, but I don't have the money to invest at all, even if this architectural design company was reluctantly invested by me, I won't tell you that if I hadn't received this big design task from your company, my architectural design company would have gone bankrupt now!" ”

Zuo Jiang pretended to be very sorry and said, "Oh, this is very unfortunate news! Mr. Simon, for a large project, architectural design is only a small part of it, the profit that can be earned is limited, if the design and construction are all contracted, in order to maximize the profit, I would have wanted to talk to you about the construction today, but unfortunately your company qualification is not enough, alas! It seems that I will have to find another construction company to carry out the construction! ”

"Ahh Simon exclaimed when he heard it, Zuo Jiang's plan to capture and indulge in his heart had a great ripple, being able to contract the design and construction of a five-star hotel is so important for a construction company, but the opportunity is in front of him but he has no ability to seize it, Simon's head quickly spun, and after a while, he tacitly calculated the money needed to set up a construction company, 800 to 10 million US dollars! This number is undoubtedly an unshakable mountain in front of Simon, and now he can't even take out $100,000!

Jenny said at the right time: "Boss, you don't have to worry about this matter, Mr. Simon's design work will take a while, I will go back to the United States and find a powerful construction company for you, now that the American economy is in recession, many construction companies are not working, I think they will be very willing to serve you!" ”

Jenny's words hit Simon's heart like a hammer, his heart trembled violently, he immediately used his brain to think of a way to raise funds, but he could only give up helplessly, he didn't have any assets to mortgage me, he didn't have any loans, he didn't have any rich friends, there was no way to borrow, thinking of his mentor Mr. Borg, he was even more shameless, he borrowed $500,000 from him when he established Simon Architectural Design Company, and he hasn't repaid it until now, Now the only thing he can sell is the apartment he lives in New York, but that apartment is only worth a few hundred thousand dollars, which is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket, but at this moment, Simon is like experiencing a war, and suddenly slumped on the sofa with emaciated energy.

Zuo Jiang quietly watched Simon's expression, knowing that his words had achieved the intended effect, and couldn't help but glance at Jenny with appreciation, her unintentional words were undoubtedly like a catalyst, quickly disintegrating Simon's will in the face of such huge interests and struggling to make trouble, so that Zuo Jiang found an entry point to cooperate with Simon, Simon Construction Company is one of the world's largest construction companies in the future, if he takes advantage of his most difficult time to become the owner or holding, the future development is unlimited! This is a big cake, Zuo Jiang has long wanted to take the opportunity to eat it!

Zuo Jiang looked at Simon with a frustrated face and said: "Mr. Simon, before I find a suitable building, if you can set up a construction company, I will give priority to cooperating with you, after all, the design you come up with and then you organize the construction will reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble, and it will be more powerful for work efficiency, what do you say?" ”

Simon said weakly: "Mr. Harry Potter, thank you for your attention to me, I also want to take this project into my arms, this is undoubtedly a huge development opportunity for me and my company, but I have to regret to tell you that I am not able to set up a construction company now!" ”

"Oh!" Zuo Jiang pretended to be very surprised and asked knowingly: "Mr. Simon, is there any threshold and access qualification for establishing a construction company in the United States?" ”

Simon said, "Of course, Mr. Harry Potter! The establishment of a construction company in the United States first on the qualification of architectural design, because my company itself is an architectural design company, this is no problem, the most important is the problem of construction machinery and professional construction technicians, the recruitment of professional and technical personnel in the current economic downturn in the United States is not a problem, but all kinds of construction machinery requires a large amount of investment, according to the current price of the American construction machinery market, the minimum investment of 600 to 8 million US dollars, in order to pass the approval of company registration, And I can't do anything about it. ”

Zuo Jiang smiled and said, "Mr. Simon, isn't it a matter of money in the final analysis?" What do you think if I invested the money, you invested in the technology, and we worked together to set up a construction company? Zuo Jiang quietly threw an olive branch to Simon.

"Ahh Such a big pie suddenly fell from the sky, and Simon was stunned! He looked at Zuo Jiang blankly and couldn't believe that this sentence was true, Zuo Jiang invested in the establishment of a construction company for him, and then contracted him the project of a five-star hotel.

Zuo Jiang smiled and said: "Mr. Simon, don't look at me like this, we have such a saying in China, called fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, I will invest in the establishment of a construction company for you, of course, I will occupy a certain share, and then hand over my project to our company to do, I will have a part of the income, my own money to earn, this is a win-win result, of course, if this construction company develops and grows in the future, my income will continue, in business, I also made this decision because I saw that it was profitable! ”

Simon listened to Zuo Jiang's words before his mind turned again, Simon knew that although he had some small fame in the architectural design industry in the United States, but it was not attractive enough to make such a big investment for him, which was very risky, and if he contracted the construction and design work of a five-star hotel, it was different, after the completion of the project, he could basically recover all the investment, at this time he basically believed Zuo Jiang's words, this is indeed a win-win cooperation, the other party has also developed while making a profit, What he lacks most now is this opportunity. What's more, these two opportunities were given to him by Zuo Jiang, so the cooperation with Zuo Jiang is obviously more reasonable.

Thinking of this, Simon said very excitedly: "Mr. Harry Potter, I am very grateful to you for giving me this opportunity and willing to cooperate with you, but I have a request. ”

Zuo Jiang said: "What a request, you can say it!" ”

Simon said, "Mr. Harry Potter, if we work together to set up a construction company, I want the construction company to be named after me, that is to say, Simon Construction, and everything else." ”

When Zuo Jiang heard this, he couldn't help but secretly say: Nonsense! Simon Construction has such a high profile that I don't use it for anything! But there was a very sincere smile on his face and he said, "Mr. Simon, I can grant you this request!" If I contribute $10 million at a time, can you confirm how much I can take in the company? ”

Zuo Jiang's cheerfulness made Simon very happy, so he secretly calculated that in the United States, according to the practice of the architectural industry, under normal circumstances, architectural design accounts for 40% of Zuo Jiang's proportion in the company, but it must be an internationally famous architectural designer, with his current fame can only account for 30% to 35%, thinking that all the opportunities are given to him by Zuo Jiang, I am afraid that I will lose this absolute opportunity for cooperation, and said ruthlessly: "Mr. Harry Potter, you see that my design company accounts for 30%, and your investment accounts for 70% What do you think? ”
