Chapter 346: The money is in place, the goods are in place
"Dear Mr. Strong, I am honored and extremely lucky to have received an opportunity from Mr. Ye, a deal worth 14 billion US dollars. He has decided to hand over all of PHC's remaining 1.9 million sets of equipment to me.
, provided that I can bring 14 billion US dollars."
Charlie said very plainly, still without any twists and turns.
"PHC?" Strong was a little surprised. He still looked calm, but he felt refreshed inside. Of course he knew the huge profits of PHC in the black market.
Just 10 seconds ago, the three minutes Strong said had passed, but he seemed to have forgotten and had no intention of leaving.
Charlie didn't have too many fancy words. A simple paragraph and the group photo took less than 20 seconds, but he revealed the most important information to Strong.
What he said is where the interests lie, and the group photo is side proof of the authenticity of what he said.
At this time, Strong's secretary entered the office. Charlie couldn't help but look. His secretary pointed to the watch on his hand to indicate that the meeting was about to begin.
But at this moment, the big stone in Charlie's heart has fallen, because he knows that the matter has entered the next round, otherwise Strong would have left long ago.
Sure enough, Strong waved his hand, and the secretary wisely left the office and closed the door. He looked at Charlie again, calmly smiled and joked: "Let me guess, young man, you are lucky enough to be with the head of the coastline.
Did you lie to a man when you had dinner with him and tell him that you had obtained a source of 14 billion US dollars in funding? Then you came back to me with the results of the conversation with him? Haha... There is a saying
It’s called: White Wolf with Empty Gloves.”
In Strong's view, isn't Charlie's routine the classic story of Jack helping his son marry Bill Gates' daughter and become the vice president of the World Bank?
It's nothing more than taking advantage of typical information asymmetry, taking advantage of it, and finding connections.
However, this story is now basically known to everyone on earth.
Charlie shook his head and said unhurriedly: "Mr. Strong, I didn't do that. I always believe in and abide by the principle of treating people sincerely as my personal creed. My clumsy thinking is not even as good as Frank William's deception."
One ten thousandth of Mr. Abagnale (ps: Frank, a cosmic liar who deceived the whole world but ultimately lost to love, the prototype of "Cat and Mouse", starring DiCaprio)."
Charlie continued: "I don't know, maybe I'm just a guy favored by the goddess of luck. Maybe Mr. Ye didn't think about anything at all, or even didn't care about anything, but he just gave me this opportunity, that's all."
Hearing this, Strong couldn't help but smile happily, looked at the young man Charlie and said, "You are such a cunning guy."
Charlie smiled but said nothing.
Strong didn't believe that he was clumsy in thinking, but he spoke very artistically. Charlie's words first put him in a very humble position, and he was grateful to Ye Hua for giving him this incredible opportunity.
He said to Strong calmly, "If I, Charlie, fail here, it is because of your poor vision, Strong, that caused Goldman Sachs to suffer heavy losses, and you simply do not have the courage, vision, and structure of Ye Hua."
Strong opened the delicate cigarette case and took out a half-smoked cigar, lit it, took a deep breath, and looked at Charlie lightly: "Anyway, I don't want a miracle to end cruelly, just
Let this miracle continue, why not?"
When Strong said these words, Charlie's heart finally relaxed completely. He also knew that Strong's words were both a promise to him and a threat. The implication was that it was up to him to continue this miracle.
Trump decided that he was indeed a shrewd Jew and did not want to suffer any losses.
But that’s not important anymore, is it?
After a moment, Strong said: "More than 1.9 million units, according to the current black market conditions, can generate at least 8 billion US dollars in profits. I, Goldman Sachs, endorse you and will set up an independent fund project to be responsible for this business.
I will take 4.5 billion US dollars in profit, I will give you 500 million US dollars, and the remaining profits will be eaten by the black market. Are you satisfied with this distribution, Charlie?"
"No!" Charlie shook his head slowly. Strong stared at him curiously. After a while, Charlie stretched out a finger: "This is too much, Mr. Strong. I only want a net income of 100 million US dollars."
, the role I played in it is only worth this price at best.”
This time, Strong was even more surprised: "Are you sure? You won't regret it?"
It is indeed rare to voluntarily give up four-fifths of the benefits. Most people spend their time fighting for more benefits.
"I'm sure. I won't regret it." Charlie answered seriously and firmly.
Strong stared at Charlie for a long time. He pressed the cigar in his hand into the ashtray and put out the cigarette butt. He stood up from his desk, walked to Charlie and patted him on the shoulder. He seemed to sigh with regret:
"It's a pity you're not a Jew, Charlie."
After saying this, Strong walked towards the office door first. When he opened the door, he looked back from the corner of his eye and added: "After the meeting, I would like to invite you to have lunch."
Charlie immediately stood up and greeted: "It's an honor, sir."
Strong nodded with satisfaction and left. Charlie, who was standing still, couldn't help but smile silently. There was greater ambition in his smiling eyes.
Although he lost 400 million US dollars in just one sentence, he gained the favor and appreciation of Strong. Behind Strong is the Goldman Sachs Group, which in turn represents the pyramid of Wall Street and the capital world.
top layer.
With just $400 million, a smooth road to the top of Wall Street and the capital world was opened for him. If this was considered a deal, Charlie felt that he had made a profit.
Without talent and greater ambition, this channel is meaningless, but Charlie knows very well that what he lacks is a channel to the top of the pyramid. For him, this channel is worth more than 400 million US dollars?
This decision of his was proven in the future. Paopao's successful listing on Nasdaq was inseparable from the support of Goldman Sachs and Strong, and Charlie's reward was to become a world leader.
One of the richest people in the world.
…
Yongzhen, basement of new villa.
"Master, a reply from Charlie Jones. He has definitely solved the financial problem." Xiaoyin's voice sounded.
Ye Hua, wearing a black vest, was carrying a liquid nitrogen tank to an isolation laboratory and connected the internal equipment pipeline.
To build a quantum computer, existing materials can only be used in ultra-low temperature environments. Ye Hua cannot have time to develop new materials now, which will add more time and energy. He just wants to have a machine that can perform parallel operations as soon as possible.
Computers are used to complete human gene array simulations.
Without reliable protection, he would be nervous whenever he went out, which made Ye Hua very unhappy.
Squatting next to the equipment, Ye Hua brought up a floating panel and said while working: "He succeeded? What kind of capital is supporting him?"
US$14 billion is a huge sum of money for any company in the world, and must be treated with caution.
"Goldman Sachs Capital."
"Draw up a folder, put the information in it and send it to Lao Cheng. The money will be in place and the goods will be in place."
"As commanded."
Ye Hua couldn't help but stop what he was doing and sighed to himself: "To be able to bring Goldman Sachs in to play with him, this Charlie Jones is indeed a rare talent. He will definitely have a place for him in the future business world. It's a pity that he is an American.
.”
In fact, whether he is an American or not is not the important point. Ye Hua naturally asked Xiaoyin to investigate his background. He is a clean American, but at the same time, he can also see that this young American wants to do a big job for himself.
Career, even if he is offered an olive branch, he may not accept it.
But then again, if Charlie Jones really accepted the olive branch from Coastline, Ye Hua would not appreciate him as much as he does now. Giving Charlie this opportunity is precisely because he is an unknown little person but has such persistence.
and great ideals.
For Charlie, it may be an opportunity to change the direction of his life, and it is the excitement of being favored by the goddess of luck.
But for Ye Hua, it was just a dispensable thing. It just happened to be interesting. If Qiao Wei hadn't mentioned Charlie's period while chatting with the girls five days ago, maybe none of this would have happened.
I quickly ignored these and concentrated on my work.
