Chapter 716: Friendship (Medium)
"Why, aren't we friends now?" Lu Li curled the corners of his mouth slightly, teasing in a half-joking tone.
John Chris Morgan replied helplessly: "I'm sorry, from a personal point of view, you are definitely my best friend in life, after all, you saved my most beloved sister." But in the interests of the family, we can't be considered true friends until we reach an agreement. You have to understand that people like me are born with a lot of responsibilities and can't do as much as you want. ”
Lu Li tapped on the table and nodded slightly: "Of course! So tell me, what does the Morgan family want from me?"
"It's simple! life-prolonging potions, shares in Elibi Biotech, and the kind of blood that brings the dead back to life. In return, we'll help you integrate into the real top class of American society. John Chris Morgan offered the conditions without thinking.
It was clear that the blood of the Banshee of Gordon had been added temporarily, and he was completely bewitched by the incredible power of resurrection, so he tried to take control of it.
"Life Extension Elixir is fine, but it is limited to one bottle per year, and the shares of Alibi Biotechnology Company are no problem, as long as you can afford the price, but the blood of the banshee is a bit troublesome, are you sure you can control it?" Lu Li deliberately asked with a look of embarrassment.
In fact, since learning the truth about the so-called resurrection of the blood of the Banshees of Gorgon, he has completely lost interest in this thing, to be precise, he would rather die than be resurrected in this way, let alone use it to resurrect his relatives or friends.
After all, personality and memory are the most precious things in people, and if there is one apt word to describe it, it is the soul.
If a person's soul disappears, then even if ** is resurrected, "he" is no longer "him......
John Chris Morgan shrugged his shoulders with a smile: "It's okay, I don't plan to harness it, just collect some just in case, I don't need a lot, a dozen drops are enough." I believe that doesn't make you feel too bad, right?"
"No, of course not, as long as you promise not to make any big news with it, I don't mind giving you some as a gift. Lu Li replied indifferently.
"Great! It seems that there is no essential difference between us, which is good, and the next step is to exchange specific interests. First of all, I want you to give up at least 5 percent of the shares of Alibi Biotech, and I will give 15 percent of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group in exchange. ”
John Chris Morgan is clearly optimistic about the prospects of Alibis Biotech, and does not hesitate to pay a high premium for it.
You must know that Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group is the third largest financial institution in Japan, with a market value of more than $50 billion, and 15 percent of the value is 7.5 billion, while the Wall Street asset appraisal agency valued Alibi Biotechnology Company at only $16 billion half a month ago.
However, Lu Li didn't feel that he had earned at all, but frowned and refused directly: "I'm sorry, please forgive me for not being able to accept such a share exchange." First, I don't have any affection for Japanese companies, and I don't want to deal with them. Second, I am pessimistic about the Japanese economy, and I think that the assets of the Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group will not necessarily shrink in the next 10 years, but they will definitely not make any profit. Thirdly, and finally, I personally don't have much interest in finance and don't want to waste too much energy on it. ”
John Chris Morgan obviously didn't expect that what he thought was the least likely problem would be rejected and he was stunned.
But fortunately, he reacted quickly, and immediately tried to persuade him: "Dear Lu, Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group is the core enterprise of Japan's Mitsui Foundation and Sumitomo Foundation, and one of the top ten commercial banks in the world. Although Japan's economy has not been very good, you must not forget that they are still the third largest economic entity in the world, and even I own 84 percent of the shares. Believe me, I definitely didn't mean to take advantage of you on this deal. ”
Lu Li smiled and waved his hand: "Please don't explain, I didn't say that you took advantage of me, and I understand the state of the Japanese economy better."
In fact, since the **** prime minister came to power, Japan has adopted a very special loose monetary policy.
They first over-issue currency to buy their own government bonds, and then send the government bonds that have become assets to third world countries such as the Philippines, Vietnam, and Indonesia as collateral, so that they can issue corresponding national currencies, and then give the money to Japanese companies in that country to use for advertising, opening stores, paying salaries, and occupying the market.
And these Japanese companies that make a lot of profits overseas will eventually transfer their wealth back to Japan, forming a cycle of capital export and import.
Through this cycle, they have been able to plunder resources, labor, and wealth from Third World countries.
Although Japan's GDP has been shrinking year after year, in fact, its huge overseas earnings have not been accounted for at all.
This is also the reason why the Japanese cabinet has been in trouble in recent years, but it has not been ousted, and it is also the truth of the so-called "**** economics".
Well, my analysis is correct, right?"
"Oh? I didn't expect you to know so much about the situation of the Japanese economy! But I don't understand, since you know that the Japanese economy as a whole is not really in recession, why are you still reluctant to accept the shares of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group? I think that their market value will only grow and not fall for at least the next five years. John Chris Morgan asked, confused.
"I've already explained to you the reason, and in a nutshell, I don't like it, isn't that enough? Remember, I'm not one of those financial capital speculators who are willing to do anything for the sake of profit, and I won't cooperate with guys I don't like. I only do what I like to do, so please change the payment method. Lu Li deliberately disguised himself as willful.
John Chris Morgan smiled wryly and nodded, "Okay, so tell me, what do you want? cash, or some other property?"
Lu Li smiled slightly, and responded in a low voice: "I want land! It's in Florida! Preferably a large farm and ranch close to Everglades National Park!"
"Land, farms and ranches?" John Chris Morgan heard this request, and a strange expression suddenly appeared on his face.
He didn't understand at all what Lu Li wanted so much land for.
After all, although agriculture in the United States is developed, the profits are pitifully low, not to mention the evil property tax......
