Jiang Hua was stunned on the spot. He thought about it for about thirty seconds, burned his CPU to overclocking mode, and finally understood what the other party said.
"What you say is missing means that you can't find these containers either."
James was silent for a full five seconds before replying: "You can understand that, but what's exciting is that Fulbrough didn't find it either."
"That's really thank God. Didn't you say that you have enough energy to handle this matter? Why would such a mistake happen at the last minute? If your sincerity has not been delivered, then this one thousand
A $30-40 billion acquisition was just down the drain."
"It turns out that those Fulbroughs were not looking for these experimental instruments."
Jiang Hua's mind fell into an overclocking state again, and then asked: "Isn't your sincerity their goal?"
"That's right."
"So what is Fulbrough's goal?"
James said with a somewhat embarrassed tone: "According to what we learned later, they received a tip that there was explosives in a container at the dock, which may be involved in a terrorist activity that will occur in the future."
"Are you Morgans so bad at your intelligence work?"
"In fact, no matter whether their target is these experimental instruments or not." James explained: "We have to hide these containers. If they are searched, it will cause an uproar. We are not without opponents in the ugly country.
"
"What you said makes sense." Jiang Hua reluctantly agreed: "On the surface it's a dispute between donkeys and elephants, but in fact it's a dispute between consortiums."
"When you find that these experimental instruments can't be found, don't you have any remedial measures?"
James said helplessly: "We have been intensively investigating these days. But we can't attract other people's attention, and you also know what our domestic work efficiency is like?"
"Except for the financial industry, the work efficiency of your other industries is appalling?"
"Mainly because I didn't get much money." James joked: "But thank God, although there were some minor twists and turns, the goods were delivered safely."
"Can you tell me how and where you get the goods?"
"Your Jinmen Port."
Jiang Hua looked at the bill of lading in his hand: "Thank God, the goods arrived at Hong Kong Port safely. You are very lucky that they were not shipped to your own or allied ports for customs inspection."
"Sent to Hong Kong Port?"
Jiang Hua nodded: "Yes, if it weren't for the consignee on the bill of lading being Huaxing Foreign Trade Company, and I have some connections in Hong Kong, this batch of goods would have been detained by the customs, and now I have to deal with some
The end of the hand, otherwise it would not be so easy to get it."
"That's pretty good, at least you can still receive the goods." James smiled and said, "Like you said, I'm afraid it will be sent to other ports in the country."
"Now there is another question, why do you need to write Huaxing Foreign Trade Company as the recipient?" Jiang Hua said angrily: "Can't we use a more secretive method? If my company is found out, will my company be exposed by your ugly country?
Are you targeting people?"
"Don't worry, as long as Fulbler hadn't been exposed, we would have already taken care of customs and foreign trade."
Jiang Hua shook his head: "Your people's methods of doing things are too rough. They have been lacking in virtue for a lifetime. How come they still don't do bad things?"
"Jiang, I feel like you are scolding me."
Jiang Hua admitted frankly: "Pretty much, you are putting me in danger. If you weren't in front of me, I would want to beat you."
James said helplessly: "Easy, Jiang, relax a little. Although there have been some twists and turns, at least the result is good."
"Nonsense, if the result hadn't been good, I would have contacted Sequoia Capital by now." Jiang Hua said angrily: "Send someone over to talk to me as soon as possible. A 134-billion-dollar deal will probably take a few days.
sky."
"There is one more thing I need to explain to you in advance. This experimental equipment costs you two billion US dollars, and we will deduct it from the final transaction amount."
"Two billion dollars?" Jiang Hua said in surprise: "You lions are so open-minded?"
"Jiang, you should know that we actually didn't increase the price much." James said with a smile: "After all, these goods are not allowed to be exported, so it is natural that they should be more expensive."
"You guys are so conscientious. You didn't increase the price much." Jiang Hua scolded angrily: "At least you gave me an increase of 80%."
"You are right, this is already a conscientious price." James said shamelessly: "If someone else comes to buy it, we will at least double it, and we may not be willing to pay attention to him."
"Then thank you very much for still being willing to talk to me."
Jiang Hua immediately asked Shao Bowen to organize a negotiation team. In one sentence, he tried to take as many bites of the meat as possible and would not accept stocks from any investment funds. Companies such as Apple and Microsoft could still be considered, and the negotiation venue was in Xiangjiang.
Jiang Hua flew to Xiangjiang with the people from the institute the next day. He had to deal with the research equipment.
Morgan's people arrived in Xiangjiang on the third day. Jiang Hua met with James at the beginning. The rest of the time, the negotiation team of Huaxing Investment Company was at loggerheads with them.
The experimental instruments were stacked at the dock. Xiangjiang is a free port and there is no import and export tax. However, this batch of goods was somewhat different. Because the destination was wrong, it was placed in the detention area.
Jiang Hua's main purpose in coming to Xiangjiang was to use his connections to unknowingly transport this batch of experimental equipment back to the mainland.
It has just been less than four years since Hong Kong returned to China, and the customs staff are a mixed bag of good and bad people. Some of them know everything about it, so we must be careful not to let this news out.
Fortunately, Jiang Hua spent a lot of money during his years in Xiangjiang and accumulated a wealth of contacts. In the end, he managed to transport the experimental equipment to the Special Administrative Region without disturbing any dogs.
After the experimental equipment transport convoy entered Luohu Port, Jiang Hua felt relieved.
Jiang Hua then turned his attention to the negotiations, but the progress was not smooth.
JPMorgan Chase is obviously unwilling to take out the $134 billion in cash. Although they can take out the cash, it is obvious that anyone who takes out such a large amount of cash will feel like breaking their bones.
So they have been trying to use all kinds of messy stocks to offset the value. Jianghua's team rejected various investment fund stocks, and they took out stocks from real estate companies around the world.
The two sides have been wrangling, and Jiang Hua is very anxious. This matter must be settled as soon as possible, because the Internet stock bubble is about to burst.
