Chapter 128: Negotiation
Shen Long handed over the chips to Weili and let him play casually, and he came to the private box with Mo-Green, and with the guarantee of the Molinari family, he was not worried about his safety.
And now Mo Green is asking for the Corleone family, and will never do anything to him, you know, there are not many people who can take out so much money now, and are willing to invest in him, and it can even be said that in addition to the Corleone family, it is difficult for Mo Green to find a second person who is willing to invest money, money is the best bodyguard, it can calm down the most irritable people.
Shen Long was observing Mo Green's expression, the look in his eyes was different from when he was in the hotel just now, Shen Long didn't have itchy hands when he went to play, he told Mo Green in this way that he didn't know anything about casinos.
Mo Green also believed this, otherwise how did he learn these gambling skills, he watched from the side for a long time, and with his experience, he couldn't see how Shen Long cheated.
Damn, those who gathered intelligence really deserved to be dragged out and shot indiscriminately, and the person in front of him and the cowardly Fredo in the information were not alone at all.
"Mo, I know you've been busy lately and don't like to waste time, and so do I, so let's get straight to the point! The Corleone family is willing to bear the remaining expenses of the Flamingo project and can help you solve the air conditioning problem, so what can you give the Corleone family? "It's enough to get off the horse, and presumably Mo Green will carefully consider his bid after seeing his gambling skills.
"It's a five-million-dollar business." Mo Green glanced at Shen Long, such a big business, can you call the shots?
"I know that five million dollars won't surprise the Corleone family." Shen Long spread out his hands, he had just sent Johnny 20 million not long ago, and 5 million was nothing.
"Well, then, when the Flamingo project is completed, it will be the best casino in Las Vegas, and it will bring us a lot of money......" Mo Green first boasted about the glorious future of the Flamingo Club, and then showed his own conditions, "I can give the Corleone family thirty percent...... Thirty-five shares will be paid to you every year, but you cannot interfere in the daily affairs of the club. ”
Because of Shen Long's performance just now, he raised his offer by five percentage points, Mo Green needs the money of the Corleone family, as well as their political resources, but he is unwilling to give up control of the Flamingo Club, which is his ideal.
"Mo, as far as I know, this project has only cost more than a million dollars so far, and we paid five million dollars and only got 35 percent of the shares, I have to say, this is not in line with business practice." Shen Long shrugged, this condition is not very good.
"That's more than two million dollars!" "And there's ......"
"Mo, the money that has been lost has nothing to do with the Corleone family." Shen Long interrupted him, the more than one million losses in the first phase of the project could not be counted.
"Fack, that damn air conditioner! I should have killed that damn air conditioner manufacturer, and those junk designers! Mo Green couldn't help but curse angrily, if it weren't for this problem, his casino would have been open a long time ago.
"There's always a risk in doing business." Shen Long comforted, ignoring Mo Green's anger, "Since there is a risk, then we have to protect our own interests, the Corleone family pays five million dollars, only thirty-five percent of the shares are not enough, and we also need to participate in the management of the club." ”
In the original book, Fredo was sent to Las Vegas to do this, but he did a mess, completely suppressed by Mo Green, and only knew how to fool around with those hostesses all day; By the time Mike came to Las Vegas, he still couldn't figure out the situation and actually helped Mo Green speak.
"It's not just about money, I have a lot of experience in casino management." Mo Green haggled and tried to increase his leverage with his management skills.
"The Corleone family is also involved in the casino business in New York, and there is no shortage of talent in the family." Shen Long refused to back down even if he was fighting.
"I have a lot of connections in Las Vegas, and I wouldn't be able to open a club with another person." Like New York, growing in Las Vegas requires the support of politicians, and Mor-Green has somehow connected with Nevada's senators; In addition, he is also familiar with the underworld gangs here, making sure that no one dares to come to the club to cause trouble.
"The Corleone family is more connected, and it's just a matter of taking a little more time for us." After taking out Mo Green, the Corleone family's business in Las Vegas was not affected.
"I applied for the gambling license." Mo Green had to put out his last chips, and it was not easy to open a casino in Las Vegas, the construction and employees were all good, as long as you had money, you could get everything, but it was not easy to get a gambling card.
"That's why we're willing to work with you." Shen Long nodded, it was considered that he had approved this condition, it was not that the Corleone family could not get the gambling license, but it would take time, and it was not as convenient as cooperating with Mo Green, "But thirty-five percent of the shares are absolutely impossible." ”
"So, how much do you want!" Mo Green also took a step back, except for the Corleone family, he couldn't find a partner who could come up with so much money for a while.
"Just take this gambling card worth 10% of the shares, plus your 1 million US dollars, and our 5 million US dollars, this is all the investment in this project, according to this ratio, we want 70% of the shares, and the insufficient part should be your management shares!" Shen Long opened his mouth, "In the same way, we will arrange someone to come over and serve as your deputy to jointly manage this club." ”
"It's impossible! The Flamingo Club is mine, and no one can take it away from me! Mo Green slapped the table hard, angry and messy, according to this calculation, wouldn't it be that he worked for the Corleone family?
"From the point of view of business cooperation, this condition is very reasonable!" Shen Long stirred the coffee slowly, not affected at all.
"Forty percent, I can give you a maximum of forty percent of the shares, you know, I don't take the rest of the shares alone." Mo-Green took another step back.
