Zhao Mingyang and the boss behind this office building made an appointment to meet in this office building. Both parties also know the details of each other, so if the negotiation is successful this time, the transaction will be carried out directly.
The people who greeted Zhao Mingyang were waiting there early. Seeing Zhao Mingyang's arrival, the greeters quickly stepped forward to greet Zhao Mingyang and took the exclusive elevator to the top floor.
After arriving on the top floor, a female receptionist secretary came over and took Zhao Mingyang to the innermost office, knocked on the door, and the person inside opened the door, held Zhao Mingyang's hand very enthusiastically and welcomed him into the room.
Zhao Mingyang looked at this short man with sparse hair and glasses. The middle-aged man had a smile on his face. This smile was a typical professional smile. He probably wore this smile whenever he went out.
They look approachable and have an amiable smile, which is a professional habit they have accumulated over many years. This type of person is the most terrifying, a typical smiling tiger.
Zhao Mingyang also had a smile on his face, and instantly switched to smiling tiger mode, and his words were a bit girly.
Even when his voice was lowered and softened, the other party immediately knew that Zhao Mingyang was not a good guy.
"Mr. Zhao, let's not talk in circles. You came to talk to me on behalf of the Xu family. Let's get straight to the point." The other party instantly changed from a smiling face to a serious look, and his tone of voice changed instantly.
The other party wanted to control the situation and changed the way he spoke.
Zhao Mingyang directly banged the table and said loudly: "Okay! I like Mr. Pan who is quick to talk and doesn't talk in circles, so we won't talk in circles anymore. How much property you still have in hand now, we Wanheng are ready to take care of it."
Boss Pan looked at Zhao Mingyang with a cheerful smile again. This kid is a chameleon. He doesn't like young people like Zhao Mingyang, because these people have many thoughts. Just like him, this kind of behavior is basically from
Those who were raised from the bottom or at home are characterized by their ability to change faces faster than turning the pages of a book.
The son-in-law of the Xu family is not an ordinary person. This made Boss Pan understand that the Xu family seemed to be well prepared this time.
"Nephew Zhao Xian, Jianye and I have known each other for a long time. We are all from the same family. We don't talk about the two families anymore. How are you going to deal with it?" Boss Pan changed his style again and started to cut into it in a way that was almost family-like.
This type is the easiest for people to relax their vigilance and gain favor.
"Uncle Pan, you are right. The family does not speak the same language. I often hear family members mention you. Qingqing also said that you often gave her gifts when you were a child." Zhao Mingyang said with a smile, as if he was from the Xu family.
Yes, and the boss Pan in front of me probably can’t even remember giving gifts when he was a child.
He and Xu Jianye had indeed met several times before, so it was normal to give their children gifts or something.
Now both of them understand each other well, and there is no need to talk in circles.
Pan Shixing picked up the cigar on the table, lit one and handed it to Zhao Mingyang. He didn't ask Zhao Mingyang whether he smoked it or not. He gave it to him directly. He lit another cigar for himself and said, "The property I have now is mainly land."
Well, I have several pieces of land in the Imperial City, and also in the Magic City, as well as some industries from the early years, such as shopping malls, shops, and office buildings.
Adding up all these bits and pieces, it’s not a small amount. It’s impossible to get it without tens of billions in cash. I don’t want any so-called equity swap for these tens of billions. The market value is too big.
My business is all real business, so I want to sell it for real cash. Can Wan Heng be able to get this money?"
After hearing this, Zhao Mingyang took a puff of his cigar and blew out the smoke ring. This amount of money, let alone tens of thousands of dollars, is only a handful in China. For example, Zhao Mingyang sold the micro-business industry, which can be sold for 18 billion, but at most
It would be incredible to get one billion or two billion in cash, but you may not be able to get it.
Most of the acquired companies will be purchased through equity swaps or the like. To put it simply, I will exchange it with you for something that seems very expensive now. Do you want to exchange it for me?
If you need to use cash, it involves a mortgage loan. Why do many companies struggle to get loans? Because the loan limit is given based on the appraisal.
For example, if you open an e-commerce company, the annual revenue reaches 100 million, but this is the current revenue. Even if the revenue can reach 100 million in three years, this is only the current revenue. It may be worthless tomorrow.
Therefore, many companies borrow money when their market value is high, and they will lend as much as they can. The money is real money. Even if the company is no longer valuable in the future, the money brought out in the early stage is equivalent to a kind of realization and cash-out.
Use this cash to invest in other industries, build similar industries, and then take out loans, and use the loan money to repay previous loans, so that you can keep making money.
Why do many people like to invest in the real industry after lending money? Regardless of the fact that the profit of the real industry may not be very high, but the real thing is real. For example, if you open a factory and you go to the bank for a loan, even if your annual turnover is hundreds of millions, it will not necessarily
I'll give you a loan of 30 million, but your land is here, the factory equipment is here, and they dare to lend you 100 million.
The value of some companies is their land, especially in some economically developed areas, such as the companies that invested in Sioux City in the early years. They have basically no profit, but it was cheaper to acquire land in the early days.
For example, one hundred acres of land, which was previously acquired for one million, now has a market value of one billion. Do you think they are willing to leave? It is impossible for them to leave. They will use the land as collateral, get a loan, and then invest in some stable industries.
Or you can earn interest on loans, which is more profitable than running a business.
Others rent out factories to others to earn rent or use the rent to invest in shares to receive dividends.
Therefore, many Internet companies will choose to cash out when their market value peaks. The fastest way to cash out is to build their own company buildings.
They all set up a headquarters in a place like the Imperial Capital. It would cost more than 10 to 20 billion to acquire a piece of land. This building will be worth 18 billion in the future. It is a real asset that can be rented or sold.
Another way to monetize is to buy copyrights and patents. No one will really invest in virtual industries again after monetizing.
They are smarter than anyone else. For example, they build the staff dormitories themselves. To put it bluntly, they earn or cash out their own money to build their own houses and either rent them out or sell them.
They all choose economically developed areas, knowing that such areas appreciate quickly and maintain value, and the Imperial Capital and Magic City are the first choice areas for all large companies.
In general, when real industries cooperate with industries such as the Internet, there is rarely any exchange of equity. They are all exchanges of the same value, and Internet companies often cooperate with real industries because they want to cash out their money.
It is rare for the real industry to exchange the equity of the virtual industry. Even if it is exchanged, it will choose the existing physical industry of the virtual industry to exchange. For example, the equity exchange of a real estate company and an Internet company is mostly a selective exchange.
For example, it is not uncommon for the market value of office buildings, dormitories, logistics vehicles, etc. owned by Internet companies to reach hundreds of billions a day.
However, there are only so many entities and energy resources on the earth and they will not change. Therefore, if you want to maintain value and make long-term profits, you need to purchase more physical properties.
For example, houses, land, farmland, etc. You can see this just by looking at Gates, who is the largest farmer in the United States today.
Hong Kong Island Li is also following this route, including those centuries-old families in Hong Kong Island. They can maintain prosperity for hundreds of years, very simply. They own enough land and real estate. The descendants of many families in Hong Kong Island only eat rent, and do not need to do anything else.
Pan Shixing does not accept any replacement now, only cash. This is even more difficult. The only ones that can get so much cash are real estate companies and mining companies. They use their own properties to mortgage loans. Internet companies have to take
It is really difficult to get cash because banks have limited loan amounts to the Internet industry. If they cash out, these tens of billions will be enough for an Internet company to face a stock market crash.
"Uncle Pan, I heard that the person your master has offended this time is not a simple person. I should say that the person you have offended is not a simple person, right?
You have always been cautious, and the other party cannot cause trouble for you. They can only set a trap for your son and use him to attack you.
Let's not talk in circles. Let's put it bluntly. Your backend should be down. To be precise, it's not down yet, but I'm not sure. It's just a matter of time.
I can give you some time. If you continue to delay, I will probably be able to get some small money and leave, right?
The Xu family wants to help you because of their old friendship, but we still want to take the equity exchange route." Zhao Mingyang said, because this way you will suffer the least loss and don't need to use other funds.
Zhao Mingyang is also reminding Pan Shixing that you don't have much time.
"My dear nephew, it's not that I don't want it, it's that I can't do it even if I want it. If I leave this time, I may not be able to come back in this life," Pan Shixing said.
"I understand, but what if the equity we give you is an overseas equity? Overseas real estate, would you consider it? The Xu family has a lot of property rights overseas. Do you think it's okay if we exchange them equally?" Zhao Mingyang said.
Pan Shixing fell into deep thought and said after a long time: "This is not impossible, so what do you give me in exchange for it?"
"We have a tourist park project in country F worth 2 billion U.S. dollars, a project in the United States worth 1.3 billion U.S. dollars, and a commercial building in Eagle Country worth 200 million pounds. We want to
I want to exchange these items with you for the items you have."
After listening to Zhao Mingyang's words, Pan Shixing frowned, because the projects Zhao Mingyang mentioned were Wanheng's famous unfinished projects abroad, and these projects were not valuable at all. This was the value of external publicity.
They originally acquired these places, to put it bluntly, to acquire some land and industries, but these things were not of much value at all. If they could be developed and monetized, they would have been developed and monetized long ago.
It has been there for five or six years. Isn't this asking me to take over the business for them? Pan Shixing's own properties are always changing hands and people are rushing to get them. They are all prime locations.
"Uncle Pan, let me tell you clearly. If the Xu family dares to accept your offer, they will face great risks and pay a high price. For example, if they share a big piece of cake, they will not be able to eat anything.
Again, thinking about old feelings, if you don't agree, what will outsiders think? Do the Xu family and you also have conflicts? In addition to your situation, you want to package and sell the things that are basically unsold, and sell them in pieces.
First, there is no big deal about movement, mainly because of the need for cycles.
What do you need most now? Time, if someone with a loose mouth tells the media about you at this time and says that you want to run away, do you think anyone will dare to take over your business?
Let's put it this way, you don't have much time, and we are not taking advantage of the situation. Can any other company dare to take your offer at this time?"
Pan Shixing looked at Zhao Mingyang and thought about Zhao Mingyang's words again. Zhao Mingyang was threatening him.
It means that if you don't sell it to me, I will lift the table and tell the truth. No one will dare to buy it, and you won't even get a dime.
This threat made Pan Shixing very passive. Zhao Mingyang looked at him. The man in front of him was considered a man of the hour. He came out of a small mountain village and caught up with the wave of entrepreneurship, mainly because he met noble people.
To put it bluntly, the noble people here are those who can provide her with other than money. These entrepreneurs have big backers behind them. As long as the big backers fall, they are basically the same.
The reason is very simple. Their achievements come from these backers. The backers have given them a lot of help. It is hard to say whether there are big loopholes in this help or how they make the money.
Pan Shixing put down his cigar and looked at Zhao Mingyang and said: "The Xu family asked you to negotiate. You can basically say that you represent the Xu family. I won't be verbose. I just want a little request. On the basis of what you put forward, I want another 50 million US dollars."
Just give me the cash for the knife over there. At least I have some pension money, right?"
Zhao Mingyang knows that Pan Shixing has assets overseas, but they are not too many. At this level, every flow in and out is closely monitored. In addition to real estate, his overseas assets may have a cash flow of up to 30 to 50 million US dollars.
.room
It took a lot of effort to transfer the money, which is why later entrepreneurs listed their companies abroad because it was easier to use money.
Pan Shixing wanted this money, plus some of his own funds, and then he really entered the pension mode. He knew better than anyone that without his backer, he would not be able to make waves abroad.
As for the Xu family, the Xu family originally had so many properties overseas, but now Pan Shixing finally understands that they are keeping them until this time, which is equivalent to realizing them. Their family is not afraid of having too many properties, because there are too many, but their family
safest.
The Xu family is constantly expanding crazily, and their business volume is too large. To put it bluntly, their family's loans for each project cost more than ten to two billion. Currently, the Xu family has hundreds of projects on hand, and they are still expanding desperately.
If the industry chain of Pan Shixing is taken over, the Xu family can borrow almost 180 billion, and their debt ratio has reached a point where they must ensure the safety of their children and grandchildren.
We can't let anything happen to their family, which is why the Xu family dares to take over Shixing's property. The Xu family is not afraid, no matter who comes.
Zhao Mingyang thought for a while and said: "Your request is okay, I agree."
The amount Pan Shixing mentioned was an amount that the Xu family would not refuse after calculation.
Pan Shixing stood up and walked to the window sill, looked down, and murmured to himself: "The Imperial Capital is really a magical place. I have seen so many people here who have great scenery, and I have also seen how many people are in the same situation as me.
I can’t bear to part with it, I really can’t bear to part with it, I can’t bear to see the scenery from this position. Do you think there will be people who will bring big bags and small bags of gifts to say hello to me during the holidays? How many people will still remember me during the holidays.”
Zhao Mingyang didn't say anything. Pan Shixing was reluctant to let go of fame and fortune. This kind of feeling is not something you can just let go of.
Why do so many people refuse to give up even when they are old? They just can’t bear to part with it.
Zhao Mingyang doesn't know if he can give up in the future. After all, there are too few people like Su Zimeng. There is another premise. Su Zimeng is different from others. He is a genius. Everyone needs his help. The choice lies with him.
Most people don't have the right to choose. Zhao Mingyang stood up and left. This kind of thing doesn't need to be so complicated. It's settled after everyone has discussed it, and there won't be too many variables. There are basically no variables at this point.
dead.
Pan Shixing was still standing in front of the window. Once he left, he truly became an ordinary person. His material life had not changed much, but those things from the past were no longer there.
The so-called material things have not changed. For example, if you have 100 million and 10 billion, the things you enjoy are the same. You can rent things that you can afford with 10 billion, such as airplanes and yachts, but there is a big difference in reputation.
It's very big, because you can't enjoy some of the potential things that fame brings.
Their family has not been able to continue to prosper, and will decline in a few decades at most. He knows the outcome. His descendants may start over again, and may never get up again.
Even though he had great glory in the past, this kind of decline is like a mountain collapsing and losing everything in an instant.
Zhao Mingyang walked out of the building and looked at the sky. The world is prosperous. Another generation of legends has come to an end. Who is next?
The phone rang. Zhao Mingyang took it out and took a look. It was Liu Shan calling.
He would not call easily if nothing happened. Zhao Mingyang knew something was probably going on.
"What's the matter?" Zhao Mingyang answered the phone and said.
"Boss, I want to ask you to do me a favor. It's a personal matter." Liu Shan said.
"Tell me, what happened?" Zhao Mingyang said.
"It's about our ancestral home..."
After hearing what Liu Shan said, Zhao Mingyang was a little speechless. This kind of thing is really not easy to do.
To put it simply, there is an ancestral house in Liu Shan’s hometown. Recently, a developer from the city came to his hometown to develop it. Liu Shan is somewhat famous in the local area, and he is doing well now, and he has opened
After going to Bentley, I feel very good when I go home.
But the problem lies here. There is a developer named Qi Gongzi. This guy directly bulldozed the ancestral home of Liu Lanshan's family. This was to scare the monkeys and facilitate the subsequent demolition work.
The most important thing in the countryside is face. Liu Lanshan knows that if he tolerates this, his family will be stabbed in the back in the future. He actually doesn't care about this. After all, he doesn't go home often, but this seventh son will not give him any face.
, Liu Lanshan felt that the other party was treating him as a soft persimmon.
In the past, Liu Lanshan was also famous as the eldest brother in their hometown, but now it is obvious that he wants to use Liu Lanshan to establish his authority.
Liu Lanshan must have been unconvinced, so he went back to talk to the seventh young master, but he ended up having sex with him directly.
Liu Lanshan felt that at least he had a reputation in Shanghai, so he was afraid of him. But it turned out that the seventh young master was not afraid at all, and started to attack relatives of Liu Lanshan's family. It was Liu Lanshan's second uncle who helped his family look after the house, and directly
Was dragged out of the house.
His second uncle is usually a little bit arrogant. He thinks he is the number one person and likes to brag, but he has never done anything radical. He just relies on Liu Lanshan's name and likes to talk about how awesome Liu Lanshan is. He is Liu Lanshan's second uncle. This
The Seventh Young Master may want to destroy Liu Lanshan's majesty every time.
As a result, there was a commotion. The people Liu Lanshan was looking for could not suppress the Seventh Young Master, who was the seventh eldest son in the family.
He has six sisters. In the past, the family was just average. According to Liu Lanshan's investigation, it turned out that this seventh son had done some dirty and dirty things.
But her eldest sister is married to a capable man, and her third sister is also married to a Hong Kong businessman. Both brothers-in-law are very capable, especially his eldest brother-in-law, who has an extraordinary status and has risen rapidly in the past twenty years. His fifth brother-in-law
Well, he has a relatively complicated background and is an engineer.
The three brothers-in-law made the seventh son rise instantly. He worked on projects with his fifth brother-in-law. With the financial support of the third brother-in-law and the support of the eldest brother-in-law's connections, he was considered a master that no one dared to mess with in their local area.
In recent years, his fifth brother-in-law has also gotten involved. Like his eldest brother-in-law, they both have power.
Liu Lanshan suffered a loss this time when he went back to deal with the matter. He spent a lot of money and found people, but it was of no use. As for the people in Shencheng, they were too far away to suppress him, the county magistrate.
Why not take care of it now?
Now comes the problem. The other party started to make trouble for Liu Lanshan. First, they found someone to target Liu Lanshan. His wife and children have been followed recently. Then Liu Lanshan's restaurant was also targeted. People went there to cause trouble every day.
The other party would also go to the supercar club to get some feces. When Liu Lanshan called Zhao Mingyang this time, he actually wanted to give Zhao Mingyang a vaccination.
If he plays ruthlessly, Liu Lanshan is not a good person, but Liu Lanshan is Zhao Mingyang's person now. If he wants to cause some trouble, he is afraid of causing trouble for Zhao Mingyang. Moreover, he has followed Zhao Mingyang for so long, and he also knows that there are some things and he should not be impulsive. In the past,
He had already changed his approach.
Now that I am more stable in doing things, I am so passive. I am afraid that my impulsiveness will cause big trouble and will not be able to end it.
Zhao Mingyang is also thinking about this matter. He knows Liu Lanshan's concerns. They can deal with it in other ways now, but if they deal with it that way, they may provoke more so-called young masters in the future. But if they fight back with the same method, in case something happens.
In a good event, their losses must be greater than the other party's because there are many related projects.
Another point is that there are people behind the Seventh Young Master’s brothers-in-law. This group of people is very united. They are equivalent to a family in themselves. This group of people will not give in. They need a kind of prestige to do things locally.
.
This is what people often say. A family with weak parents should learn to do business. Doing business will give you the opportunity to make some money and expand your network to increase relationships. A family with strong parents must learn to rely on a big tree to become an official.
If you are strong, you should use your reputation to develop locally. If your parents are weak and your family is weak and poor, then you should go far away to find a way out.
This means that a weak mother becomes a merchant, a rich and powerful family becomes a minister, a wealthy family stays in their place of origin, and a poor family leaves for another place.
The Seventh Young Master's family is now prosperous, and they will definitely work together to ensure the family's interests and prestige. Therefore, it is not the Seventh Young Master who must be dealt with at this time, but the family behind him.
These are also the legendary local snakes and local emperors. Don’t underestimate them. The network of relationships is very complicated and it is difficult to deal with the layers of backers.
Zhao Mingyang was weighing the pros and cons, whether to help Liu Lanshan or not. Liu Lanshan had to either apologize to someone for his trouble, or have a fight with the other party. In the end, there was only one winner, either Zhao Mingyang won, or the other party won, and the loser's family would be ruined.
.
Unless a middleman is found to mediate, mediation means that Zhao Mingyang loses. This is a competition between the strengths of both parties.
If Zhao Mingyang doesn't care, Liu Lanshan will have to fight with others, and the outcome will not be very good for Liu Lanshan.
If Liu Lanshan had endured it, it would have been okay, but he didn't.
"They all come to our door, so we are too weak to be polite.
Since this Seventh Young Master is so arrogant, let's have a try.
I will send a message to the Youth Chamber of Commerce in a moment, and everyone will cooperate with you."
When Liu Lanshan heard this, he felt confident. The Youth Chamber of Commerce was a very powerful force, but they didn't listen to Liu Lanshan. They listened to Zhao Mingyang.
Moreover, Liu Lanshan also knew that he could not defeat the Seventh Young Master, so he could only seek help from Zhao Mingyang. If Zhao Mingyang helped him, he would still have a chance of winning, but if he did not help, the chance of winning would be very small.
"I'll arrive at your hometown later. You bring someone to bring me that seventh son, and I'll see who comes to ask for him."
When Liu Lanshan heard Zhao Mingyang's words, he was asked to kidnap the Seventh Young Master. He directly told them that Liu Lanshan had kidnapped him and asked him to bring someone over. Zhao Mingyang wanted to talk directly to the other man's family.
