Qin Lang was reading the telegram, and Morgan sent a congratulatory telegram -- of course, this was just a small joke made by the "Wall Street Emperor" when he was in a very good mood, and he did it because Qin Lang first sent a telegram to him and Rockefeller after the war in the stock exchange market was over, congratulating them on their great victory -- although it was only a small victory for the two consortium leaders.

Yes, just a small victory, although there are dozens of ...... all over the world There may be close to a million angry or hysterical victims cursing them...... After all, there are always many differences between big and small people in terms of social status and looking at problems.

Of course, there will be some exceptions - Qin Lang is an exception. He's still a small guy, but he's acting like a big guy: he's almost doubling his money at once, but he's acting unusually calm, not treating it as a major victory, and even Morgan's congratulatory telegram only makes him smile faintly, compared to Rachel, who's like a lucky winner with a $100 million prize, elated, just not dancing.

But she was clearly not satisfied, and wanted to be happier, and now there was one thing that would allow her to enjoy this extreme pleasure.

"Qin," Rachel said to Qin Lang in an unprecedentedly sincere tone, "I want you to give me the job of acquiring the Holt Manufacturing Company. ”

Qin Lang raised his eyebrows slightly. "Is this your request?"

"Request."

"I'm afraid I can't accede to your request, though I'd love to, Rachel. I had already promised Mr. Holt the last time I negotiated that I would meet him again soon......" Qin Lang sighed reluctantly, "You know, I'm a person who keeps my promises, so this time I have to go in person." ”

However, he was just perfunctory to her. Qin Lang knew very well what Rachel was thinking, and the acquisition of Holt Manufacturing Company was an important event that could attract widespread attention, at least it would cause a great sensation in California. She'll be in charge of the acquisition, so she can let everyone see Rachel. How great Miss McBride is. Of course, as everyone knows, they live in a patriarchal society, so the power she shows is tantamount to a punch to all the guys who discriminate against women.

Women can do just as well as men, if not better. Rachel has been trying to prove it and is not willing to pass up any chance. Qin Lang fully understood her thoughts and regarded them as a flaw that could be exploited, so he was very happy to create opportunities for her...... But not this time.

Not this time, he has his own plans.

The United States is a patriarchal society, but it is also a white supremacy society, and of course Qin Lang is also very willing to let the white people feel their power at the right time - now is a very appropriate time. For no other reason than that after a long enough period of time, or noticing that most of Umbrella's mercenaries were in the far east, or that Washington's influence in the Far West was not strong enough, the white supremacists in California had a little more of an attempt to make a move, though their associates in the East still hadn't recovered from the shock of Judge Gray's misfortune.

Of course, these idiots can only make some offensive and racist remarks in the newspapers or in private gatherings, and they can't even influence the state legislature, which is controlled by Republicans, let alone take any substantive action, but the problem is that Qin Lang doesn't even want to hear their voices - he used to be able to ignore them, but now, at least in Southern California, they had better shut up immediately.

The white supremacist needs to rethink what kind of opponent he is provoking and rediscover his power. Holt was a prop used to demonstrate to them, so Qin Lang had to complete the acquisition in person.

So this time, he can't give up his chance to Rachel.

He said apologetically, "Since I value commitments so much, it's a shame that you'll have to wait for the next opportunity." ”

Next? Yes, there will be many "next times", but Rachel doesn't want to miss a single opportunity. "Okay, let's go together." It only took her a moment to come up with a solution that seemed like the best of both worlds, "and I think it would add a lot of convincing." ”

Rachel was confident in his own judgment, but in fact, when she and Qin Lang had been at the Holt Manufacturing Company, Benjamin. Holt did not feel their persuasiveness strengthened, and contrary to her judgment, he came to the conclusion that Miss McBride, who had always been shrewd, was as deranged as her Chinese partner.

What a pity. He thought so, and at the same time a little annoyed: Why did the people at the Great Viper Weapons Company think they could afford to buy his company? He knew that colds could be contagious, but could insanity be the same? "Didn't anyone think about it?" In a tone of disbelief, Holt said, "Big Viper Arms doesn't have the capacity to buy my company. ”

Qin Lang and Rachel exchanged a helpless look. "In fact, I have already said, Mr. Holt, that our company has very good money to acquire your company. And there is no need for us to continue to dwell on such pointless questions. ”

"It can't be...... All right. "I said the same thing, I refuse to accept your request for a takeover. ”

"Mr. Holt, I suggest that you first understand the conditions we are proposing before deciding whether or not to accept our takeover request." Rachel said. Qin Lang immediately found out the good thing about her here: Holt didn't refuse directly like the last time, he didn't say anything, and watched her take a document from the lawyer's hand. "The total value of the assets of Holt Manufacturing Company is just over three million dollars," she said, looking at the papers, "so we are willing to pay three million and three hundred thousand dollars to acquire your company." ”

Holt's eyelids twitched slightly. Rachel's understated tone and the determination she showed made him feel a little uneasy: perhaps, the Great Viper Weapons Company had secured enough money to buy his company, though that inference seemed grossly unreasonable.

It shouldn't have that much money unless it mortgages fixed assets or gets help from a consortium...... Consortium! His eyelids fluttered even harder. The consortium is the only plausible explanation, and it is indeed quite possible that there is really a certain consortium behind this acquisition...... However, how could Qin Lang get the support of the consortium so easily? This is even more unreasonable than the fact that he has enough money to buy his company.

United Carbide and United Textile Technologies are not yet profitable, how can the consortium continue to lend him money? Did he mortgage something? Or did he promise? Or did he come up with something that would satisfy the consortium? Anyway, unless Qin Lang paid a sufficient price, it was impossible for the consortium to lend him money, but what could he pay?

There are so many questions, and what are the answers? Holt was scared and curious, but he carefully hid his feelings, saying, "I don't think your conditions will move me. ”

A wrong answer. If he refuses outright, Qin Lang and Rachel will find things more troublesome, but he says "I don't think your conditions will make me happy", which means that as long as the price is right, he will sell his company.

The door is still open, and negotiations can take place - but as long as they negotiate, they can win.

Qin Lang's habitual, knife-like smile came again. "Since you don't think the terms of our acquisition are high enough, what are your conditions, Mr. Holt?"

Holt felt a strong tingle, and then erupted in anger at himself, which he should have refused. However, there is still plenty of room for manoeuvre, and it is only necessary to put forward a condition that Qin Lang and the consortium behind him cannot accept, and insist on it during the negotiations, and in the end, Qin Lang had to give up the acquisition.

But such a condition requires careful study to obtain. He needs to figure out the bottom line that Qin Lang or the consortium that supports him can bear, and the conditions proposed must not be too high, otherwise it will make people feel that he has no sincerity in negotiating...... Although he was indeed reluctant to negotiate, it was clear that such an attitude would make the consortium that supported Qin Lang feel that they were being provoked and would have dangerous consequences; Of course, there may not be a shadow of the consortium at all, but it is also not wise to overstimulate a character like Qin Lang who has extensive connections with the consortium.

After all, there is still such a possibility, maybe Qin Lang will promise some conditions to a certain consortium in extreme anger, and then use the power of the consortium to forcibly buy his company.

Holt didn't want to take any chances. "I need to consult with my partners and lawyers before I can put forward the conditions." Finally, he said, "I will contact you when we agree on the terms of negotiation." ”

"A week." It was only out of concern about the delaying tactics that Rachel proposed a deadline, "After a week, we'll be back in a week, whether you've agreed with your partners and lawyers." I'm sorry, Mr. Holt, but we don't have too much time to waste on pointless waiting. ”

Her near-warning request furious, but helpless, forced to accept it.

But he's still relaxed. A week is theoretically enough to come up with a suitable negotiation terms, an ideal price that he needs, and to figure out whether there is really a consortium behind the matter; One week is enough to get a lot done.

Holt was completely unaware that he was making a mistake: the more he investigated and the more intelligence he obtained, the more the conclusions he got and the terms he came up with for negotiations deviated more and more in the right direction. Qin Lang's economic strength was seriously underestimated, although he was not alone, even Morgan and Rockefeller only realized that the activity capital he had mastered had reached five million dollars after Qin Lang participated in their game, and they were slightly surprised for a while, but at least others did not encounter and would not encounter the acquisition crisis he faced.

Even more unfortunate, Holt had no idea that Qin Lang had taken advantage of the turmoil in the stock exchange market to almost double the active capital he had in his hands, and that the purpose of doing so was to acquire the Holt Manufacturing Company. He didn't think about it at all, and no one told him, so Holt's mistake and that of his partners and lawyers turned catastrophic.

First of all, they confirmed that Qin Lang did not have the shadow of a consortium behind him, and secondly, they believed that the funds he had in his hands would never exceed three million four thousand dollars, because the acquisition amount he proposed was only three million three hundred thousand, according to the situation of the Great Viper Weapons Company and its subsidiaries, even if he retained some funds to deal with the negotiations, it would not be more than one hundred thousand, so three million and four hundred thousand was a reasonable number.

Therefore, the amount they proposed for purchase was 3.7 million, and this figure did not include the cost of appeasing the workers.

Holt believed that Qin Lang would never be able to come up with such a huge sum of money.

Even when the negotiations began according to the stipulated time, and during the negotiation process, he always firmly believed this: after extremely reluctantly raising the acquisition amount to three and a half million US dollars, Qin Lang and Rachel did not increase a penny, but instead asked Holt to lower his conditions; And when this request is denied, they shift the focus of the negotiations to other directions.

But there is no point in doing so. The purchase price was the most important of all conditions, and the others were only minor issues, and even if they were agreed, it would not help—so Holt simply ignored these "insignificant" issues in order to show his sincerity in the negotiations, and soon only the most critical issue remained.

Of course, the negotiations can also be concluded.

"Mr. Qin, Miss McBride, after my company has made huge concessions, if you can't agree with us on the amount of the acquisition, I think the negotiations can end here." Holt smiled, he had seen the dawn of victory.

"Are you still sticking to your terms, Mr. Holt?" Rachel asked, "Three .7 million?" ”

"Yes."

"In that case, well." Exchanging glances with Rachel, Qin Lang said slowly, "Three million and eight million, we will pay this price." ”

A few seconds later, Qin Lang's words that were so casual were reacted to. "What!" Holt could barely get angry, and neither did his lawyer.

"Three million eight million." Rachel had a triumphant smile on his face, "I think we can get to an agreement. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
