Lambert originally wanted to have a meal and put some pressure on Lu Feng, but he didn't expect to receive such news, which really surprised him.
"Which one?" Lambert asked.
"Sorry, trade secret!" Lu Feng replied.
Lambert thought for a moment and stopped asking. He thought that Lu Feng had made it up casually to scare people.
There were no unnecessary words in the meal that followed. Everyone had already measured out their trump cards and ate a couple of bites in a hurry. Lambert stood up and walked away individually. Lu Feng left only after he was full.
Lu Feng and Lambert's meal became a commotion. John watched the news on TV and called a few of his old friends as soon as he landed.
After several people met, they had a meal and chatted a lot about this matter, but none of them could figure out what the value of Jiafeng Electronics represented. It was just that several large companies on Wall Street were competing for it.
John was a little worried when he watched the news. Although this matter was very lively, the investment logic behind it has been kept secretive. Normally, as an investor, he would directly reject such a situation.
But things are different now!
"Call him and tell him that we have arrived. If it is convenient in the afternoon, we can make an appointment." John ordered to the assistant beside him.
"Okay, I'll do it now!"
As soon as Lu Feng returned to the hotel, the call had already arrived. Liu Yilong answered the call and settled the matter.
"Mr. Lu, see you there?" Liu Yilong was a little unsure.
"An ugly daughter-in-law always wants to meet her parents-in-law. If she wants to meet her parents-in-law at any time, it is better to choose a day." Lu Feng said to Liu Yilong: "Let the hotel prepare a conference room."
At 3:30 in the afternoon, John and his party arrived at the hotel conference room. There were thirteen people in total. It can be said that these thirteen people were the elites of Schroders Investment Group. Their average age was over forty years old. They were all in black suits and wallets.
He looks like an absolute business elite.
Lu Feng didn't change his clothes, he just took a brief rest and walked into the conference room with Wang Yuanhe and the others.
"Hello, it's been a hard journey!" Lu Feng said politely, holding John's hand.
"Mr. Lu is very busy. I just finished dinner with Lambert at noon, and I'm really sorry to be disturbed by us again."
The two parties were very polite for a few minutes, and then they sat down and got down to business. John asked the question he was concerned about very directly.
"Jiafeng Electronics has a valuation of tens of billions of dollars, but it is competed by so many companies. I want to know the investment logic behind this, or what supports you in making such a high valuation?"
"With rapid development, the development rate of Jiafeng Electronics is increasing several times every year. We focus on R&D. We are currently investing 200% of our net profits in R&D. This is also the reason for financing. There is also the rapid development of Huaxia
, I believe that as China opens up, the economy will get better and better, and the consumer market will see unprecedented prosperity."
John frowned slightly when he heard these reasons. He was still unwilling to invest so much money easily and said, "Tell us, how was your dinner and chat with Mr. Lambert at noon today?"
"It's okay. He is very interested in investing in us, but the interpersonal relationships on Wall Street are complicated, so there are some things that need to be considered." Lu Feng said more connotatively.
"I dare to ask, what are some interpersonal relationships?"
Lu Feng spread his hands and gave them a helpless expression, unable to answer.
Other staff asked a lot of questions related to the company, and Lu Feng answered everything he needed to answer, but he didn't mention the key things, which made these people very helpless.
After more than an hour of meeting, John's forehead was sweating and his brows were furrowed into a "Sichuan" shape. This investment made him very worried, fearing that he would miss the mark and break his leg on Lu Feng's side.
"That's it for today. Thank you Mr. Lu for taking your precious time." John stood up and said.
"If you want to invest, make your decision as soon as possible. Otherwise, there will be no store like this after passing this village." Lu Feng stood up and said, "You have worked hard too. You have been flying all night, so take a rest early."
After politely exiting the conference room, John went to the bathroom, followed closely by Lu Feng. At the urinal, John lit a cigarette and said, "I have to say, Mr. Lu is not only young, but also very handsome. You already want to
Consider it a success."
"It's not bad. It's all because of this handsome face that I can find a good girlfriend. Otherwise, where would I be today?" Lu Feng said sarcastically.
John seemed to have caught something and asked: "Who is your girlfriend?"
"Lewinsky!"
"Monica Lewinsky?"
"How do you know?" Lu Feng suddenly became alert and stared at John, very nervous.
"Oh, I know someone named Lewinsky, but she's probably not your girlfriend. She just celebrated her sixtieth birthday a few days ago." John laughed and brushed it off.
But he was already shocked. This was something he shouldn't know at his level, but an accident made him know something he shouldn't know.
Lu Feng was also surprised. It could be heard from John's tone that he seemed to already know something.
Originally, Lu Feng planned to find an opportunity to leave a clue for them to check. With the Schroeder Group's hands and eyes, it shouldn't be difficult, but he didn't expect that an executive vice president would actually know.
Both parties fell into an eerie silence and went to the toilet quietly. Lu Feng finished his work and went to the sink to wash his hands. John came over and said: "Mr. Lu, I have decided to invest in your company. According to the valuation in the prospectus, thirty
500 million U.S. dollars, accounting for 35% of the shares."
Lu Feng was stunned for a moment, looked at him and said, "I have to wait for news from Wall Street first."
"No! They won't offer such a high price, we will!" John looked at Lu Feng and said: "Believe me, only with my advantages can you maximize your value. You can sign the letter of intent now."
"So happy?"
"right!"
The two of them left the bathroom and found a random table. John took out the preliminary investment letter of intent from his document bag and signed the contract with Lu Feng despite all objections.
Not to mention Wang Yuanhe and the other three, even the other members of the investment team were dumbfounded. The two of them went to the toilet. How could the investment be facilitated?
"What's going on? You signed it just after going to the toilet? And it's still worth billions of dollars!" Wang Yuanhe said in disbelief.
"What will happen if two men go to the toilet?"
No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't figure out what kind of magic Lu Feng used in these short few minutes to make John agree so happily.
After signing the contract, John shook Lu Feng's hand and said with a smile: "Welcome to London to sign the formal contract. We are also happy to join Jiafeng Electronics Group."
"Thank you. Don't worry, every penny invested by Jiafeng Electronics will be used wisely." Lu Feng looked at the crowd and said, "Then let's have dinner together."
Lunch was uncomfortable, but Lu Feng felt particularly comfortable during dinner. According to the valuation of tens of billions of dollars, Schroders invested 35% of the shares. According to the contract signed by Sun Hung Kai before, Sun Hung Kai had priority before they bought shares.
After dividing the equity in this way, Lu Feng only has 25% of the equity left in his hands.
These 25 shares are worth 2.5 billion US dollars. According to the currency exchange rate in 1994, at 1:8, Lu Feng's net worth has reached 20 billion!
Of course, these are just book figures. If you really want to realize them, you may not be able to stop them in half. But it is such an important step, but it comes out unexpectedly. How can you not be happy?
Thirty-five billion US dollars!
Lu Feng can definitely stretch his arms and work hard for several years.
More than 20 people on both sides drank a hundred bottles of red wine, and Lu Feng drank himself to the point of collapse.
The next day, Lu Feng woke up at around seven o'clock in the morning. The outside world was still immersed in the lunch between Lu Feng and Lambert, but Lu Feng was already preparing to leave.
I woke up from bed and took a shower. I felt much better. Lu Feng had been away for too long. It was already mid-July and school was about to start in Duoduo.
After calculating the time difference, he should still be awake now, so Lu Feng picked up the phone and called.
In China, Jiang Xiaoyan was cooking in the kitchen, and Duoduo dug out all her dolls, lined them up and looked at them in a daze, as if she was missing her youth.
"The phone is ringing, Duoduo, go answer the phone." Jiang Xiaoyan shouted.
Duoduo stood up and ran over, picked up the phone and said, "I'm Duoduo, who are you? Are you Aunt Fengxia?"
"Duoduo, I'm daddy!" Lu Feng smiled unconsciously on his face. This guy was being naughty again, but the cuteness in his voice made people like him.
"Dad? Why haven't you come back yet? Is it daytime where you are now?" Duoduo said excitedly.
"Hey, you know the time difference. Yes, it's seven o'clock in the morning here. What time is it over there?" Lu Feng asked.
"At eight o'clock in the evening, my classmate's father is in the United States. He told me when will you come back."
"Dad will be back in the next two days and will bring you a gift then. What do you want?" Lu Feng asked, half leaning on the armrest of the sofa, with a smile on his face: "Do you want a doll?"
"I don't want a doll."
"Then what do you want?"
"I want to buy a gun. My classmate said his father bought it, so I want to buy one too!" Duoduo said excitedly.
"Buy a gun?" Lu Feng was shocked and asked, "What are you buying a gun for?"
"Go back to the village and beat cow dung, beat the cows!"
Lu Feng:..........
"Okay, daddy will buy you a doll." Lu Feng originally wanted to ask Jiang Xiaoyan to answer the phone, but when he saw her when he went back, he didn't say anything.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Feng called Li Lin and gave her full authority to sign a shareholding agreement with Schroders Group, so he would not make the trip again.
In the morning, Lu Feng asked Wang Yuanhe to book some air tickets to return to China. Before leaving, he bought a lot of dolls. He saw a Chinese restaurant opening and walked in.
"Let you try the Chinese food here." Lu Feng said to Wang Yuanhe and the others.
