Rockefeller Center is the world's largest privately owned complex of nineteen commercial buildings, to be exact.

As early as 1987, the government of the beautiful country designated it as a "national historical landmark", which is of great significance to the people of the beautiful country.

However, now the Rockefeller family wants to sell this "historical landmark" because of a shortage of funds, which also shows how weak the family's cash flow is on the other side of its glory.

If the Rockefeller family has enough cash, Ji Cheng wants to defeat the other party, and there is no chance at all.

But the Rockefeller family's investments were so broad that it was impossible to have much cash at all.

Ji Cheng also saw the hope of destroying the other party in one fell swoop.

It has to be mentioned here that although Rockefeller Center is composed of 19 commercial buildings, only 14 are actually sold today, and according to Ji Cheng's memory, when Mitsubishi Land bought these 14 buildings, it immediately owned 80% of the shares of Rockefeller Center.

And this time it is only the Rockefeller Center building that is sold, and does not include the land in the area.

This is because the buildings and land are not owned by a single company.

For example, the company that the Rockefeller Center building holds today is Tishman. Speyer Company, and the land is Goldman. Held by Thatch & Company.

This Tishman. The Speyer Company was ostensibly a friend of the Rockefeller family. Speyer holds, in fact, the Rockefeller family is behind it.

And Goldman. Thatch has nothing to do with the Rockefeller family, because this company also has a name, which is the well-known Goldman Sachs Group.

When Ji Cheng and Peter. After Peterson said this, Peter. Peterson immediately went to Tishman. The Speyer Company replied to the matter.

Tishman. Speyer Corporation.

Peter. Peterson just left.

As the boss of the company on the surface, Jerry. Speyer immediately dialed David. Rockefeller's phone.

"What did you say?" David on the other end of the phone. Rockefeller's tone was full of disbelief, "You said that Ji Cheng, the boss of Joaquin Capital, wants to buy Rockefeller Center?" ”

Jerry. Speyer affirmed: "Yes David, as far as I know, Joaquin Capital doesn't seem to have the power to buy Rockefeller Center, right?" ”

David. Since Rockefeller and Ji Cheng are rivals, he must have investigated the details of Huajin Capital, and he knows very well, "The total assets of Huajin Capital together are not worth $100 million, how can they afford to buy Rockefeller Center?" ”

Jerry. Speyer cautiously asked, "Shall we sell it then?" ”

"Let me think about it."

David. Rockefeller didn't give an immediate answer, he was thinking about whether he should sell to Ji Cheng.

In fact, as an opponent, David. Rockefeller definitely didn't want to sell Rockefeller Center to Ji Cheng, as a beautiful countryman, Rockefeller Center is a historic building in a beautiful country, and it should not be sold to Ji Cheng.

But, David. After thinking about it for a long time, Rockefeller decided to sell Rockefeller Center to Ji Cheng.

Why are you willing to sell?

There are two reasons for this.

First, David. Rockefeller was in dire need of money.

If the Rockefeller Center and the people negotiate softly, it will not be a problem to sell 12.3 billion dollars in the end, but it will take enough time, David. Rockefeller can wait, soybean futures can't.

And the consortium that is willing to come up with a billion dollars at once generally knows the Rockefeller family, and everyone knows that you are in a hurry to use money, is it possible not to bargain at this time?

So as long as anyone is willing to take over the Rockefeller Center, according to David. Rockefeller's current situation should be sold anyway.

Second, according to David. Rockefeller knew that the Huajin Capital Company owned by Ji Cheng did not have so much money as one billion dollars, let alone cash, even if all the assets together were not worth $100 million, if Ji Cheng really wanted to buy the Rockefeller Center, then there was only one way to go, and that was to borrow money from the bank.

David. Rockefeller and his brother Lawrence. Rockefeller's initial plan was to sell Rockefeller Center to buyers who didn't have enough cash, because then after they made enough money on soybean futures, they could find a way to buy the debt contract of the buyer who bought Rockefeller Center, and then use capital to operate, and the Rockefeller family would buy back Rockefeller Center, maybe not even a billion dollars.

To put it simply, David. If Rockefeller sells the Rockefeller Center to Ji Cheng at this time, he can get one billion dollars, and when he wants to buy it back, it may only be eight or nine billion dollars.

What does this mean?

On behalf of Ji Chenghui, he will lose money, and not only a loss of $100 million or 200 million on the surface, but also various interest fees, which may be as high as $250 million to $300 million.

And all the assets of Huajin Capital together are less than 100 million US dollars, if Ji Cheng really loses so much money, then he will have nothing.

Won't Lawrence's revenge be avenged then?

Isn't the blood revenge of Exxon's incident revenge?

David. Rockefeller thought about it carefully and felt that it was feasible, and he immediately said: "Sell!" Why not sell? ”

Jerry. Speyer was a little confused: "But don't you have a grudge against him?" ”

"I have a grudge against him, but it doesn't mean that I have a grudge against money, understand?" David. Rockefeller said meaningfully.

Jerry. Speyer thought for a moment, "Then I'll contact him." ”

The two chatted about the details and restrictions of the sale again, such as asking Ji Cheng to take out the money within a week, how much to compensate for liquidated damages if he can't get the money in a week, etc., which probably means that you Ji Cheng sign the contract first, take out the money within a week, and lose money if you can't take it out, it's as simple and clear as that.

……

Rockefeller Asset Management.

David. Rockefeller in and Jerry. After Speyer made the call, he immediately found Lawrence. Rockefeller.

"Lawrence, guess what just happened?" David. As soon as Rockefeller walked into the office, he couldn't help but look happy.

Lawrence. When Rockefeller saw his expression, he immediately laughed, "What good thing makes you laugh so happily?" ”

"Hahahaha." David. Rockefeller let out a loud laugh, "Remember that Oriental kid who went against me, right?" ”

Lawrence. Rockefeller just told his brother about this not long ago, how could he not remember, "You mean Ji Cheng?" ”

"Yes." David. Rockefeller nodded.

Lawrence. Rockefeller wondered, "What's wrong with him?" ”

David. Rockefeller's eyebrows fluttered and he carefully recounted what had just happened.

Lawrence. Rockefeller also laughed after hearing this, "Didn't he kill himself?" ”

"Yes, I thought so too, I didn't expect him to be so greedy, knowing that it was me who wanted to kill him last time when he found a killer, and this time he was willing to spend a billion dollars to sell Rockefeller Center." David. Rockefeller felt very funny: "I really don't know what he thinks, is it trying to show favor to us?" ”

Lawrence. Rockefeller was also laughing, but after hearing his younger brother say this, he showed a suspicious look, "I remember that this Ji Cheng has a good reputation in the financial industry, and he is a very capable person, it is said that Huajin Capital has today's scale, and he has made a lot of money in the futures market by himself, it stands to reason that such a smart person will not gamble to buy Rockefeller Center when he has no money on hand, right?" ”

David. Rockefeller said: "I know this matter a little, he has a foreign exchange gambling agreement with State Street, it seems to expire in mid-June, according to the current foreign exchange situation, he can get at least one billion dollars by then." ”

"Oh, I see." Lawrence. Rockefeller bowed slightly, "It is estimated that he thinks that buying Rockefeller Center is profitable, although this profit return cycle is relatively long, but according to the current development trend of the beautiful country, at most eleven or twelve years, the one billion dollars purchased from the Rockefeller Center today can be recovered." ”

"Theoretically, it does." David. Rockefeller showed a fierce look, "But as long as he really dares to buy it, when I free up my hand, he has no chance to rely on this cycle to recover his capital, and he can only lose money." ”

Lawrence. Rockefeller said, "Then sell it to him." ”

David. Rockefeller was even better when he heard his brother's support, "This Oriental named Ji Cheng is too short-sighted, and he really thinks there is a good thing about pie in the sky?" It's stupid! When I make money in soybean futures, I will find a way to force him to sell Rockefeller Center back to us, and then see what his expression is! ”

The brothers were very happy, and they both felt that Ji Cheng was taking it for granted.

Is money that easy to earn?

Especially if you want to make a profit from their Rockefeller family?

Isn't that too much to take for granted?

Naturally, whether it is David. Rockefeller, or Lawrence. Rockefeller felt that Ji Cheng was too stupid this time.

When they made up their minds, they immediately asked Jerry. Speyer went to talk to Ji Cheng about the acquisition.

……

That night, Ji Cheng met Tishman. The person in charge of the Speyer Corporation that negotiated the acquisition.

Among them Jerry. Speyer, as the company's nominal boss, was personally involved in the negotiations.

The two sides made an appointment in the conference room of the thirteenth building of Rockefeller Center, called the "International Building".

This is the first time Ji Cheng has officially come here since he came to the beautiful country, and he has only watched it from afar before.

I have to say that the Rockefeller Center complex is so majestic, such as the General Electric Building, the Eastern Airlines Building, the Associated Press Building, and so on are all nearby.

It is home to some of the most famous companies in the country.

If someone really buys it, they can have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives just by collecting rent.

Ji Cheng sighed in his heart, and took the Joaquin Capital negotiation team inside. White, Sophia. Green and other senior executives of the company have personally participated in the negotiation of this major project, after all, it involves one billion yuan.

The large conference room was packed.

The two sides quarreled for a long time over the details of the contract.

Ji Cheng and Jerry. Speyer sat there talking and laughing, chatting all over the world, but not about the acquisition.

Finally, almost two hours later, the preliminary Fang Yu quarreled out.

Tishman. Speyer's senior vice president in charge of the acquisition negotiations, Raj Brown. Brown took the initiative and said, "Boss, we have settled down, do you two want to hear it?" ”

Jerry. Speyer looked at Ji Cheng, "Ji? ”

Ji Cheng smiled and said, "Say it, I'll listen to it." ”

Raj. Brown immediately explained the terms of the contract, which were basically normal terms, such as a series of problems after the acquisition, which on the surface were beneficial to Huajin Capital.

But there is one clause that is very strict.

That's where Joaquin Capital has to talk to Tishman tonight. Speyer signed the contract, and then remitted the funds to the designated account within a week, if the funds could not be received within a week, Huajin Capital not only could not obtain the equity of Rockefeller Center, but also had to pay $500 million in liquidated damages.

Steve. White couldn't help but say, "Boss, this request is a bit excessive, I don't think I can agree." ”

Sofia. Green also said: "yes, how can you raise a billion in a week? ”

Jerry. Speyer shrugged his shoulders and said bluntly, "We're asking for this one too much, and if you don't agree, then there's nothing to talk about." ”

Steve. As the general manager of Huajin Capital, White naturally knows the financial situation of his company, of course he knows that the company is now not to mention a billion dollars, even if it is 100 million US dollars, he believes that it is more beneficial to the company not to talk about it at this time, otherwise even if he borrows a billion within a week, I am afraid that the company will be in a state of high debt for many years in the future, which is not conducive to the development of the company.

Sofia. Green thinks so too.

Although the successful acquisition of Rockefeller Center is very beneficial for any company in the long run, after all, it can make a lot of money by collecting rent, but the problem is that the cycle is too long, and the average small company may really do this, and all the energy will have to be put on this side in the future, not to mention the development of others.

Both Joaquin Capital executives hoped that Mr. Ji would refuse the request.

But to their disappointment, Ji Cheng actually did not hesitate to say: "Remit one billion dollars to the designated account within a week, right?" No problem, sign the contract! ”

"The Great Luo of the Worlds"

Steve. White: "......"

Sofia. Greene: "......"

Joaquin Capital Others: "......"

They don't understand why Ji Cheng is determined to buy Rockefeller Center, is he really not enterprising and wants to be a peacekeeper?

Jerry. Speyer and the people in his company were overjoyed when they heard Ji Cheng's promise, especially Jerry. Speyer, he knew David. What did Rockefeller think, he felt that Ji Cheng was simply killing himself by doing this.

But Ji Cheng is the owner of Joaquin Capital, and he agreed, Steve. White and Sophia. Green and the others had no choice but to follow the request to talk to Tishman. SPEYER signs a contract for the transfer of shares.

"It's a pleasure to work with."

"It's a pleasure to work with."

"Season, the funds will arrive within a week."

"Haha, of course."

The two sides signed the contract in laughter, and then the two sides exchanged two more polite words, and Ji Cheng took people away.

……

Came outside.

Steve. Before White got into the car, he couldn't help but say, "Boss, isn't it too risky for us to do this?" ”

Sofia. Green also frowned and said: "Yes, not to mention that we can't come up with so much money at the moment, even if we can borrow it, the company will be in debt repayment for several years in the future, and there will be no funds to develop anything else." ”

"Huh." Ji Cheng laughed, he smacked his lips and said, "You don't have to worry about this, you will know how wise my decision is in a week." ”

With that, he got into the company's car, and then took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

Steve. White and Sophia. Green looked at each other, it was obvious that they didn't know what Ji Cheng's idea was.

How wise you are in a week?

What does this mean?

They wanted to believe Ji Cheng, but the problem was that the reality did not allow them to believe it.

Ji Cheng, who was sitting in the car, didn't know the psychological dynamics of the top management of the two companies at all, or rather, he could guess something, but he didn't explain it, because he had enough information to convince Mitsubishi Land to buy Rockefeller Center within a week, and he could make a lot of money from it.

Of course, an important prerequisite for convincing Mitsubishi Land to buy Rockefeller Center is to meet the other party.

Ji Cheng didn't know anyone with the Mitsubishi Group and Mitsubishi Land, and he needed someone to help introduce him.

It just so happens that Ji Cheng has a good friend on Xiao Riben's side, that's right, it is Matsushita Masashita, the prince of the Panasonic Group.

In fact, he was quite emotional when he contacted Matsushita Masayuki, thinking that when Ji Cheng and Matsushita Masayuki first met, he was still a small electrical wholesaler seeking a source of goods, but now he is a figure in the financial industry of a beautiful country, and he has to personally lead a more than billion dollar acquisition, I have to say that the change is too great.

Ji Cheng also wants to know if Matsushita Masayuki knows his current situation, whether he will be very emotional, and whether there will be a feeling of being impressed by Shibei for three days? He thought it would be.
