However, he did not directly object to these conditions, but asked: "Then I want to know, what can I get after meeting your requirements?"
Doug immediately replied: "40% of Leiman Investment Bank."
"That's it?" Li Bancheng asked.
"What else? Aren't you just here for Lehman Investment Bank? Even if it is 40%, you are already the largest single shareholder, and you can definitely announce to the public that you own Lehman Investment Bank." Doug said.
"Chairman Doug, first of all, you must understand that when I spend so much money, what I want is to control Leiman Investment Bank, so there is no need to discuss the shareholding ratio below 51%."
"Secondly, the seats on the board of directors can only be divided according to the proportion of equity, but I can personally guarantee you that after the success of this merger, Chairman Doug will still be Chairman Doug, and you and your team will not have to face any layoffs.
danger."
"As for the provision of insurance contracts for small and medium-sized banks, I'm sorry, I think I can't agree to this because the risk is too great."
Doug frowned slightly, feeling how difficult the old Chinese man in front of him was.
"Since we can't talk, let's stop here today. I still have a few guests to meet. Let's talk about it when we both consider our bottom lines again." Doug directly issued an eviction order.
Negotiations of this level cannot be successful in one go. It is not surprising that negotiations can last for a year and a half.
Although Lei Man couldn't afford to wait for that time, it would still be okay to wait a few more days.
Li Bancheng obviously knew this well. He stood up and said, "Well, I look forward to our next meeting."
After sending the father and son to the door, Doug shrugged and said: "Actually, as long as we can provide so much funds, the shares are easy to negotiate, but the problem is that there is no room for compromise on the insurance contract. Leiman Investment Bank itself will also participate in this."
You are covered by this insurance program, so you can rest assured.”
"Of course, if you really don't want to, that's okay, but this is our bottom line, and I hope you understand."
After the two sides said goodbye, Li Bancheng took Li Kai to the parking lot.
As soon as he got in the car, Li Bancheng said: "There is a problem in this matter, and it is a big problem."
Li Kai was shocked when he heard this, and asked subconsciously: "Dad, are you talking about the insurance contract issue? But didn't Doug say that Lehman Investment Bank itself will also be involved, right?"
Li Bancheng shook his head and said: "I just have this hunch, but I'm not sure. But what I can confirm now is that the reason why Lei Man is so tough in demanding the insurance contract is probably not just Lei Man's own intention.
"
"Dad, how about I contact the Huo family's hidden line and see what the Huo family says now?"
After Li Bancheng said this, Li Kai also felt that something was not quite right, so he suggested.
Nodding, Li Bancheng said: "With such a big matter, if something goes wrong, we, father and son, will go bankrupt in an instant. We can't be too careful, so we must use all available power to clarify the matter."
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
After Li Kai finished speaking, he picked up his phone and sent a text message.
In just over ten minutes, the news came back.
Li Kai frowned when he read the content of the message.
"How is it?" Li Bancheng asked.
Li Kai said: "The conditions are the same as ours, and the price Doug gave them is much higher than ours, a full 70 billion US dollars. The Huo family is still arguing with Doug."
"70 billion."
Li Bancheng sneered and said, "These American guys are really crazy about money. How can the Huo family agree?"
"Dad, insiders say that the Huo family is seriously considering this proposal. Their idea is to lower the price to 40 billion before signing. Moreover, the Huo family's acquisition seems to be more than just the Huo family. There is a deep force behind it. The Huo family
I'm just here for the interview as a representative."
