Chapter 477: Arrived
"Boss, you look at this first, international news, although they are a weekly newspaper, but this newspaper has reporters in almost all countries and regions around the world, and they mainly report international news ......"
The three newspaper companies that were singled out all gave a reason why they were worth buying.
After listening to his introduction, Li Heng didn't rush to say anything, just looked at him with a smile.
Being stared at like this by the boss, Hals was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he scratched his hair twice with some embarrassment, and then pointed to the information about the weekly news and said: "Okay boss, I admit that I have selfish intentions, one of the three shareholders of this newspaper is the father of a good friend of mine, and they are indeed experiencing financial difficulties now, and they urgently need a new investor." ”
"Investment?" Li Heng asked with some surprise: "Didn't they want to sell the newspaper?" ”
"They really didn't plan to sell, they didn't think there was anything wrong with their business philosophy and ideas, so they just wanted to find an investor who could agree with their philosophy."
This made Li Heng hesitate a little, the media that can't be completely in his hands is of no use to him, these arrogant foreigners can't put him as a Chinese in their eyes at all, and now they are short of money and want to find an investor who may bow their heads, but when they recover, those people will definitely find a way to kick him out.
"I'll think about it again, and from tomorrow onwards, you can take me to the other two first."
"No problem, boss."
"It's almost time, you go and call Mazi down, I'll invite you to a big meal after a hard day."
"Thank you, then I'm not welcome, boss."
……
In the next few days, under the leadership of Howles, they first went to the two newspapers, and then to Rolls-Royce, because it was a private customization, Li Heng added a lot of special requirements to one of the cars, focusing on a feminine and safe.
That's right, the interior accessories are more feminine, because this car will be used by the little girl in the future, and it is an exclusive car, of course, it should be based on her preferences, and it is safe.
On the eighteenth, within the time agreed with Earl Leighton's butler in advance, Li Heng took Mazi to a castle manor on the outskirts of the Leighton family on the outskirts of the financial city and met Count Leighton.
After two days of hard work, after Li Heng quoted a price twice the current market value of Kowloon Port, the arrogant Earl of Layton finally nodded and signed a letter of intent to trade, and only after Li Heng returned to Hong Kong Island, he could complete the entire transaction.
Earl Leighton himself knows that he is old and has no successor, and when he gets old, these enemies in the country will definitely tear the Leighton family into pieces and eat them, so in the past two years, he has already intended to sell overseas assets to consolidate and strengthen their family's company in China.
Kowloon Port on Hong Kong Island is a high-quality asset, and he had no intention of making a move, but the price given by Li Heng was too exciting for him.
Another key point is that the acquisition funds are all cash, as long as the transaction is reached, the money can immediately reach the account of the Leighton family, and Standard Chartered has endorsed Li Heng in this regard.
So far, this time in England, except for the newspaper that did not complete the acquisition for various reasons, his biggest goal of travel has been successfully achieved.
Without continuing to delay time here, Li Heng and Mazi flew to the beautiful country non-stop.
Because the telegram was photographed in advance, there were also people who picked up the plane after landing.
"Smith, long time no see."
"It's been a long time since I saw the boss."
Smith is Li Heng's agent in the beautiful country, and he is of the same nature as England's Howles, but Smith is in his forties, has a wife and three children.
When Li Heng met him for the first time half a year ago, he had just been laid off by the company he worked for, because he had a mortgage to repay, and a wife and children to support, it was really difficult for him to find a job at this age, so he could only temporarily help people carry gifts at the airport to earn some tips.
At that time, Li Heng happened to ask him for directions, and when Smith heard that he felt that the place was not easy to find, he was just about to go home, so he personally took Li Heng and Mazi to send them over by bus, and they became acquainted.
Later, when Li Heng planned to find an agent to help take care of the company, he found him as soon as possible.
Smith didn't expect that his momentary kindness would lead him to such a good job, and now he received a much higher salary than before.
Not only that, but the car he is driving now is all allocated by the company, and a lot of fuel money is reimbursed every month.
His current situation is almost envious of those colleagues before his death.
"Boss, Katie knows that you are coming, let me definitely invite you to our house for a meal, she cooks it herself, Katie's skills are still quite good, I hope you can appreciate your face."
"Why not? Of course I'd like to have something delicious. ”
"Mazi, and you too, come with the boss." After finishing speaking, Smith looked at Li Heng and waited for a translation.
What he didn't expect was that Mazi would answer him by himself.
This confused Smith, who clearly remembered that more than half a year ago, Mazi could neither understand nor speak.
"Oh my God, how long has it been since you learned a language? Are you Chinese all so smart, I remember our former neighbor Wang, he was like this, he went out to buy things and could calculate the numbers directly without thinking about it. ”
This is also the reason why Smith did not look down on Li Heng and Mazi like other white people at that time, their family had a Chinese neighbor before, and the relationship was very good.
Like Hals, he was surprised to hear that Mazi could speak English.
"Thanks for complimenting Smith, but should we get out of the airport first, I noticed that the cop had already looked at us several times." Asako raised her chin and gestured to a policeman not far away.
"Oh" Smith raised his hand and patted his forehead, turned his head and walked to the driver's seat: "Boss, Mazi get in the car quickly, there is a time limit for parking here at the airport, and if you don't leave, you should be ticketed." ”
Li Heng and Mazi glanced at each other after hearing this, shook their heads with a wry smile, and then pulled the car door and sat down.
"Boss, how long are you going to stay here this time?" After leaving the airport, Smith relaxed and asked.
"Not necessarily, but at most half a month and twenty days, let's see if things go well."
"By the way, boss, the Mr. Geng you said by telegram last time, what did he buy, I found that it seems to be some diodes or something, are you sure?"
