Chapter 829
Kent was obviously still in normal thinking, and he asked with hesitation: "Bramble, what should we do? Should we talk to Bank of America first? At the same time, we also look for other banks?"
However, Jing Jian had already smelled something wrong at this time. How could it be so coincidental? As soon as the "national security problem" occurred, the stock plummeted? And it happened to be before the bridge loan was issued?
After touching his chin and thinking for a while, Jing Jian picked up the phone and dialed Cowell's number: "Hello, Mr. Cowell."
"Oh? Bramble, is there anything wrong?" Cowell's tone was light, as if he was not surprised by Jing Jian's call.
"I don't want to waste time. Can I solve a loan of $100 million for me right away? Three months short term?"
After a brief silence for a few seconds, Kewell did not directly refuse. With a laugh, he asked, "Haha, what conditions are you willing to accept?"
When Jing Jian heard this, he also smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes: "How about the annual interest rate of 20%?"
"Hahaha." A loud laughter came from the phone, "Bramble, I personally am willing to support young people like you to grow up together. But you seemed to lack a little sincerity just now."
Jing Jian seemed to have completely relaxed and leaned against the chair and lit the cigarette: "20% is not bad, right? Of course, if you solve more, I can add a few more points."
"Haha, this is not a question of a few points." The laughter came, and Cowell said, "If I remember correctly, you should not have any collateral in your hands, right? And today, your Yikai performed very unstable in your hands. You always have to come up with a reason to convince me? Or, to give me a reason to take a risk to lend you a loan?"
Jing Jian seemed to be slow when asked by Kewell: "Do you really believe in such a trick? Haha, Kewell, Yikai is very healthy now, and the stock price will return sooner or later."
"Hahaha, dear Bramble, the point is not the return of the stock price, but you can wait until the return of the stock price?" After a few seconds of quiet, Cowell continued, "Young man, I am willing to support you, but you also have to see enough guarantees for me? After all, in business, I still hope to have less favors."
"Hehe." Amid the laughter, Jing Jian seemed to have begun to think about it. But Kewell waited patiently and did not rush to urge him.
Jing Jian finally made a decision: "Kowell, is this OK? We sign a bet agreement. The 20% interest rate remains unchanged. If the three-month loan expires, Yikai's share price is still below $50, I will transfer 10% of your shares at $40, or directly compensate you for the difference at that time?"
What Jing Jian means is that when the loan expires, if the stock price is higher than $50, then everything will be fine as long as the principal and interest is paid off. But if it is less than $50, for example, $49, either sell it to Cowell for 10% of its shares at $40, or it is a $9 difference multiplied by 10% of the amount to compensate Cowell.
If you choose the latter type, Jing Jian will definitely have to pay a lot of money, but he can guarantee that he will continue to have absolute controlling stake.
Kewell was a little surprised, which seemed to be a little different from the conditions in his mind. According to common sense, Jing Jian should have some to make him moved, but he has always refused to join the industry, such as the shares of Bingberg Network or Standard Group's priority financing rights, which are all very good. Of course, if Jing Jian is young and energetic, the result will not be surprising. But suddenly a bet contract comes? What the hell is that?
However, when I thought about it, Cowell suddenly realized that it was not the only one's own wish? Young people are full of confidence in themselves and are particularly greedy, and seem to be unwilling to lose anything. Isn't that more convenient for them to force him into a corner? If you want to save everything, you often can't save anything in the end.
But the conditions still need to be negotiated. Cowell chuckled and said, "I can promise your bet. But I only accept $30, and I need a 20% stake."
"Haha, you're too greedy, are you?"
"No, dear Bramble, you should think so, if everything is normal in Yikai, you can get that loan for free. So those $30, 20% and so on, just make me feel at ease. Haha, as you get older, you can easily have problems with your heart."
"Haha, then your stomach will definitely be good. $38, 10%.
"$32, and the proportion is too low, at least 18%.
"Well, Cowell, I hate bargaining, you are too insincere."
"Haha, you should be very sincere, right? Then I'll give in..."
“…”
After some bargaining, the final conditions for the bet were determined to be US$35, 16%.
After finishing the call, Cowell frowned slightly. Today's feeling seemed...too smooth, but it turned out much better than I expected. However, after careful consideration, I found that there should be no problem. Cowell couldn't help laughing. Maybe he was too sensitive. The older the world, the less courageous he was!
...
When Jing Jian hung up the phone, Kent on the side felt a little clear, but it seemed a little blurry: "Bramble, do you really want to ask Mr. Cowell for a loan? If I didn't make a mistake, Mr. Cowell should have some problems, right?"
Jing Jian smiled. After being by his side for so many years, Kent finally got a little clue. The phone call just now was actually a test. It was meaningless, and the problem lies with Cowell. The reason is very simple. If it weren't for Cowell, what reason would he have to negotiate with Jing Jian?
However, Kent is not talented after all. Although he has learned the skills, he still has not learned the skills completely. There are different problems and problems. Therefore, when Jing Jian proposed a loan, it was also a test.
If Cowell stops when he gets better, and is satisfied with the loan, Jing Jian will be ready to endure it. His capital chain is too tight, Cowell finds the right opportunity to blackmail and uses means to do so, and he will not hurt himself. At most, he will find the right opportunity to take revenge in the future. Therefore, this result is acceptable.
However, Cowell obviously was not like this. He seemed to be disdainful of the high interest rate of the loan, and he must have been very big and greedy, which made Jing Jian alert.
However, this does not need to be explained to Kent. Jing Jian smiled and said, "The old guy must have a problem. But he did find the right opportunity. I just said that in half a year, our funds will gradually be relieved. But Cowell happened to find the right time when we were the weakest and forced us to accept his conditions."
Kent was a little worried when he heard this: "Then is no problem?"
"Hahaha." Jing Jian was full of confidence, "Do you think there will be a problem? Hahaha..."
