Of course, formal business talks have formal etiquette, and a veteran like Nie Ting will never make a mistake in this regard.
The next morning, the same four commercial vehicles came to pick up Nie Ting and others to the negotiation location. However, this time they were not going to American Airlines, but to a manor in the suburbs of New York.
The manor is very luxurious, so luxurious that it looks like a park. This kind of private manor rarely exists in China. It has tens of thousands of square meters of grassland and beautiful fountains. Nie Ting can see the smell of money from these scenes.
When they arrived, there were three people playing polo on the lawn. Strong horses were galloping on the grass, turning over two pieces of turf from time to time.
When the vehicle drove in, the three people reined in their horses and stopped. When Nie Ting got out of the car, someone first greeted Nie Ting: "Welcome to Brown Manor, I am George Brown."
Nie Ting looked at the other party's majestic appearance. The angry horse in bright clothes was probably referring to the scene in front of him. He smiled and said: "Hello, Qinghe, Nie Ting."
Nie Ting has had a lot of dealings with foreigners. Among the top 10 game companies in the world, Qinghe now owns the equity of 6 companies, one of which is even a controlling shareholder.
Just by looking at this report card, you can see what outstanding achievements Nie Ting has achieved in the past three years.
But he does not have an English name, and he had no intention of having an English name from the beginning. This started when the investment and mergers and acquisitions department was originally established.
At that time, Nie Ting and his colleagues were just the finance department, not the investment and M&A department. In fact, everyone felt that the investment and M&A department was more domineering.
At that time, Ren He held a meeting for their entire department and explained the purpose of establishing this department. The entire core of Qinghe's investment strategy also expanded from domestic to foreign countries. At that time, someone joked that it deserved an English name.
Nie Ting remembers clearly that the young man sitting at the end of the conference table smiled and shook his head: "We are called by our Chinese names. Do you know that in the 1990s and even now, too many of our compatriots want to integrate into that seemingly freer country?
What is the result of a prosperous group? If you blend in, you will melt into it. There is nothing special between you and other people. No one will respect you and no one will remember who you are. However, when we start to use Chinese names,
Slowly begin to be remembered, Nie Ting is Nie Ting, Ren He is Ren He, so that they will respect you more, not only because everyone here holds the funds that all of them yearn for, but also because you respect you first.
You don’t have to follow the Romans, you can use acquisition battles to build your reputation. I hope that one day, if you appear in foreign newspapers as a famous investor, they will also use your Chinese name, then
It’s so enjoyable.”
Ren He has never denied that he is a nationalist. As for how prosperous and free the outside world is, Ren He completely denied it after returning from the exchange program at Berkeley University. In fact, it is also very true in "China Partners"
, the group that spares no effort to integrate into foreign countries is not as glamorous as imagined.
In that era, how many people ended their beautiful lives with tears, but now, Chinese people have the ability to go out with their heads held high.
When Nie Ting heard what Ren He said, he imagined that the foreign media would use his Chinese name when introducing him, and then write about his dazzling deeds. It was such a passionate thing, just like using his own name in
It's like fighting an uncompromising battle with a culture.
It's funny to say it, but actually it's just a small thing.
"Mr. Nie, I have heard about you," George Brown dismounted and shook hands with Nie Ting: "I am very happy to have this meeting. I hope everyone can receive what they want."
Nie Ting may not mind that the other party's arrogance caused the other party to receive guests immediately, but the final fact is that American Airlines is in deep financial crisis and the other party needs cash.
It has long been speculated that the assets of the Brown Consortium have exceeded one trillion U.S. dollars. No one knows the exact figure now. The eight oil companies are like a money printing machine. Moreover, the assets of the Brown Consortium are far more than the eight oil companies.
However, if the other party feels that it has trillions, then a transaction worth tens of billions can be looked down upon. Then how did this family get to where it is today?
Nie Ting did not look down upon these people, because he knew that these people were the real elites among the American elite. Their pursuit of capital would never stop, and things like wisdom had always been their basic qualities.
There were no long-table negotiations or protracted battles lasting several months. Nie Ting's actions this time were very clear. They had all the information about American Airlines. Just to buy a piece of business information, Nie Ting could do it for them.
They paid millions of dollars in industrial espionage fees, and they were well prepared.
The negotiations were conducted independently by George Brown and Nie Ting. The team in the investment and M&A department had never seen such a situation, but they understood that this acquisition was likely to have special significance. However, Nie Ting was too strict in his tone, and they did not know why.
After listening to Nie Ting's request in the reception room, George Brown pondered for two seconds and smiled: "Mr. Nie, your request may be a bit excessive. Maybe you don't know what your big boss is doing in New York, USA. If you know
, you will agree with me."
"I'm not interested in knowing what our big boss is doing in New York," Nie Ting shook his head: "I only know that American Airlines' debt ratio is now unimaginably high. Banks are no longer willing to lend money, and you have a net loss every month.
120 million US dollars, you urgently need fresh blood to make up for the deficit, and also use these good news to allow funds to re-enter American Airlines to complete this change. The loss is temporary, but the business strategy needs to be adjusted, but now the DuPont consortium very much wants to control it.
For more equity in American Airlines, I would like to ask, Mr. Brown, would you rather accept the DuPont consortium to expand its influence in the American aviation field, or accept a Chinese Internet company that is far away?"
Nie Ting did not answer George Brown's words. The other party was negotiating conditions, while he was talking about the other party's weaknesses.
At the negotiation table, you should never let your opponent lead you by the nose. This is something Nie Ting has understood since he first entered the industry.
George Brown smiled: "Mr. Nie is indeed well-deserved. As a Chinese, it is really surprising that he knows us so well."
"Qinghe Group will use a 1% premium, which is US$2.8179 billion, to acquire 10% of the equity of American Airlines from Brown Group. When American Airlines is badmouthing, this is the greatest sincerity of our big boss. Of course, the prerequisite is that ia
The global arrest warrant for the big boss, Mr. Ren He, can be revoked," Nie Ping said calmly and calmly.
This time, Ren He gave him a 5% premium before he left. But for Nie Ting, if he really negotiated the matter with the bottom line price given by Ren He, then what shame would he have when he went back to see the big boss and Nie Ting?
colleagues?
The negotiation could not be completed in one day. George Brown did not intend to resolve this matter today, and he did not want to be led by Nie Ting. He simply changed the subject and said with a smile: "Mr. Nie really doesn't want to know who your big boss is."
Is he such a person? To be honest, I also want to make friends with him. Please tell me that if he comes to the United States again, I hope to treat him to dinner. Now, he is a legend in New York."
With that said, George Brown threw a kraft paper file bag to Nie Ting: "Mr. Nie, let's have lunch together, we need to think about it."
In fact, to civilians, police, and even IA and BI, the big boss of Qinghe Group is a veritable lunatic. But from the perspective of the consortium, it is different. The other party has created a huge foundation in the East, and he can still
Even though he narrowly escaped death in such a dangerous environment like New York, the latest news is that the other party was Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and one man ambushed the entire ia combat team.
In the capitalist world, in the eyes of capital, human life is not worth mentioning. In fact, the consortium appreciates the mysterious and legendary character of the big boss Qinghe. When such a person can bring huge benefits to them, they should get to know and get acquainted with him.
Nothing bad.
During the meal, none of the colleagues in Nie Ting's team knew whether the negotiation went smoothly or not, but it seemed that Nie Ting had something on his mind.
After returning to the hotel, Nie Ting called Ren He: "Boss, the negotiations with the Brown Group are going quite smoothly. The other party does not reject capital from China, but the other party gave me a portfolio, which should be about your stay in the United States.
I haven’t looked at the matter yet.”
For Nie Ting, Qinghe is now his foundation. He loves everything about Qinghe, and the big boss Ren He has already become the belief of most Qinghe people during the growth of Qinghe. If Ren He tells
If he shouldn't look at this file, then he won't look at it.
Ren He smiled on the phone and said: "Let's take a look, there's nothing shameful about it. I didn't have time to tell you the origin of my wanted order in detail, but now you can find out more about it, so that you can negotiate with them."
Nie Ting was relieved, but there was still a little excitement in his heart. This was simply a way for him to understand the big boss. This was something that no one else in the Qinghe Group knew. What kind of thing could make the big boss be like this?
Is a businessman carrying IA's global arrest warrant selling arms?
However, when Nie Ting opened the file, he was suddenly stunned. He clearly saw the photo of his big boss, and the seal "Top Secret, 1-20" was stamped on the header of the file.
The document first details Ren He's information, age, gender, copies of files obtained from China, education, assets, parents' information, etc. It is very detailed, so detailed that even Nie Ting does not know some things.
He always thought that the big boss must be in his twenties, but it turned out that he was only 17 years old! This actual age alone shocked him enough. It was true that no one else in Qinghe knew anything about it!
A 17-year-old boy owns an industry like Qinghe Group? However, Nie Ting did not have any contempt for Ren He's age, it was more unbelievable and an inexplicable admiration.
This feeling is very strange, as if after the other person has accomplished something that he never dared to think of, he feels an unattainable feeling deep in his heart, and then gradually turns into a feeling of admiration and worship.
Regarding the parents of the big boss, it is no longer a secret. After the incident of Luohe Group came out, many people in Qinghe Group suddenly realized. No wonder Secretary Ren Ai came to Qinghe Group to inspect, so he came to take a look.
My son’s property...
But later on Lao Ren stopped going. After having a good time, you still have to be careful to avoid suspicion. The city even canceled the support policy for Qinghe Group, and even conducted an audit to see if there was any tax evasion. The result was that Qinghe Group was clean.
It's like a blank piece of paper...
Only then did Lao Ren feel that his son was really sensible and did not hold him back.
After Nie Ting turned over the first page of information, the second page was marked in red letters: Very dangerous!
Looking down, Nie Ting finally understood why his big boss carried ia's global wanted order.
It is written below that when the National Security Bureau secretly arrested Yang En, they encountered Ren He’s sniper attack, including Ren He’s behavior of climbing the 10th floor with his bare hands, showing his miraculous sniper ability...
The following is about Ren He's "Poetic Little Professor" piano recital in New York. The National Security Agency accidentally obtained Ren He's identity through a member of the Chinese intelligence agency "Tianqi". Then Ren He, in order to cover the member,
The feat of single-handedly holding down two combat teams of the National Security Agency... and finally escaping from the siege by crossing the 6.4-meter height difference of the building and drilling into the sewer.
Then, a combat report was attached about Ren He ambushing the entire IA combat team by himself in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, which described in detail Ren He's night vision sniping ability, physical fitness, and ability to dive beyond the limits of the human body.
Last note, this target is extremely dangerous. After encountering the target, ia members around the world can protect themselves first. If there is a chance, they can kill them on the spot.
Nie Ting looked at this information about Ren He and his breathing became rapid.
If it weren't for Ren He's attitude and George Brown's explanation, he would have almost thought it was a script for an American commercial blockbuster!
This is so fucking incredible, isn’t it?!
In my memory, the big boss was always cheerful when he saw me, he never lost his temper with him, and he was so gentle and quiet that there was no sign of any violent tendencies.
The other party... was like a wise man who had no power but could foresee the future. As a result, this report shattered all the images of Ren He in Nie Ting's mind...
What the hell? The big boss was rated as one of the most dangerous people in the world by IA? What nonsense is this...
Nie Ting is starting to doubt life a little now. He always wonders if he opened his eyes in the wrong way when he woke up today?
He now really wanted to call the big boss in China to calm down his shock, but after thinking about it, he gave up the urge. He finally understood why George Brown said during the day that Ren He was already a legend among the American elite.
, and also said that he would treat Ren He to dinner.
In fact, when the other party said, "If Ren He comes to the United States again," Nie Ting understood that the other party actually revealed information: they were willing to discuss the acquisition, but the price was not satisfactory yet.
The file obviously did not think about the issue of leakage. It is believed that the cause of the incident was because the US National Security Agency wanted to secretly arrest Yang En, the Chinese ambassador to Washington. I am afraid that if this kind of thing is exposed, it will cause a lot of controversy. Of course,
This document does not have any evidence to prove that it came from the ia top secret files. But it seems that George Brown did not take this matter to heart at all. Maybe he has the idea of adding some chaos to this government. After all, there are so many American consortiums.
, it is normal for the Brown Consortium to lose in this term. When Nie Ting studied the Brown Consortium some time ago, he discovered that this government intends to suppress the Brown Consortium in the oil field. This is of course also a bill formed with the support of other consortiums.
There is no peace among American financial groups.
Nie Ting suddenly wanted to tell Qinghe's colleagues the secret in his heart. Do you know how awesome the big boss is?! This thought made Nie Ting so painful that he couldn't sleep, but he couldn't say that the big boss chose him.
I did this because I trusted him.
The next day Nie Ting met with George Brown again. George Brown looked at the red blood in Nie Ting's eyes and smiled and said, "Mr. Nie didn't sleep last night, okay?"
"Acquiring 10% of the American Airlines shares from the Brown Group at a premium of 3%," Nie Ting said calmly: "This is our greatest sincerity. Mr. Brown, you actually don't have many options. This opportunity is once in a lifetime."
In the end, one month later, Nie Ting completed the acquisition of the book at a premium of 3.2%, and ia canceled the global arrest warrant for Ren He.
Ren He felt a little emotional in the courtyard. This is the power of capital. It cost a lot of money, but isn't money just for spending? Qinghe Group will be richer in the future.
