Li Mochen received Darwin Wollman at his home, and his companion was Burne Georgia. The chef was invited from outside, a Frank chef who was famous in Atlanta.
Therefore, although the three people present were not in the mood for food, their appetites were still aroused by the aroma of the dishes in front of them.
"The reputation of Goldson Investment Bank is well-known throughout America. I personally very much welcome your bank's investment in Rising Sun Electrical Appliances Retail Company. If possible, I even hope that your bank will take over our company's listing guidance."
While Li Mochen was talking, he was cutting the 'dragon steak' on the plate with a knife and fork. This is the meat of the eighteenth-level thorn dragon. It is taken from the dragon's spine. The meat is fresh and tender, and it is often the most delicious part of the dragon. .
However, as a nearly pure-blood dragonborn, Li Mochen still felt a little weird eating this kind of 'dragon steak'.
"But Darwin, Rising Sun Electrical Appliances Retail Company currently has sufficient funds, and it will still be a long time before the second round of financing. I must protect my personal interests and the interests of shareholders."
Darwin Wollman laughed: "Ah Mo, I don't think this is a conflict. The power of Gaosen Investment Bank can ensure that your company has unimpeded access in most areas of America. This is conducive to your company's rapid expansion and seizing the market. Opportunities. At this stage, electrical appliance retailers with more stores will undoubtedly have an advantage in the competition."
"No! No! No, Darwin, with our company's current capital reserves and profits, it is enough to complete the layout of 1,200 stores in one year and 3,800 stores in two years, and guarantee 70% of the stores. We have our own quantity. According to our estimates, as long as we have 1,000 stores, it is enough to ensure that the company can get the best prices from major manufacturers at any time."
Li Mochen shook his head disapprovingly: "So now, we really don't lack funds."
"What about connections?"
Darwin Wollman's eyes flickered: "It's impossible for all of your 3,800 stores to be opened in the countryside, right? The Michel Group is very powerful, but their power is more concentrated on the east coast. .”
Li Mochen smiled, took out a document from his jacket pocket, and placed it in front of Darwin Wollman.
"This is?"
The latter's expression condensed slightly, and his eyes showed surprise: "You surprised me, A Mo."
"So, do you still think that the expansion of Xuri Electrical Appliances Retail Company requires the help of other people?"
Li Mochen paid attention to the expression on the other side: "Darwin, Xuri Electrical Appliances Retail Company has the ability to expand on the east and west coasts at the same time and establish our store network. This is enough to make Xuri Electrical Appliances in an invincible position in future competition."
"Indeed."
Darwin smiled bitterly: "But now I'm confused by you, Ah Mo, it's impossible that you invited me over this time just for a meal?"
"Of course there is a reason."
Li Mochen used the remote control to turn on the TV set not far away, and then tuned to the Southern Cable TV station.
At seven o'clock in the evening, this TV station was broadcasting general news. At this time, it happened to be the part about "Cloe Arnold" and the corruption case of the Board of Education.
"Mandivine Ferguson, the newly rising media tycoon in Atlanta, is very ambitious and has set his sights on the Georgia Post in my hands. And now, I am ready to do everything I can to destroy the Ferguson Media Group."
Burne Georgia had been eating silently. He didn't understand the purpose of Li Mochen inviting him over, and he didn't dare to interrupt at will. He could only listen silently.
He felt that he was completely redundant. Even as a guest, his identity was far from enough in front of these two people.
When he just heard this, his body trembled slightly, and he couldn't hold the knife and fork in his hand for a moment, and let it fall on the dinner plate, making a 'ding-dong' sound.
However, the two people next to him didn't pay attention to his rudeness.
"Mandivine Ferguson?"
Darwin Wollman squinted at the TV and didn't pay attention: "I've heard about the afternoon program on the Southern Cable Channel, and I've also watched the Atlanta Daily Telegraph's extra number. To be honest, it's very disturbing.
Surprised, since the Lieqi Group entered Georgia, it has always taken a good attitude toward others and has never--"
"Firefly Media has been acquired by me."
Li Mochen interrupted the other party's speech: "Since we have to deal with war, how can we lack the dragon-slaying sacred weapon?"
Darwin Wollman leaned back and tapped the table with his fingers: "If I guess correctly, you mean to use the power of Goldson Investment Bank to block the Ferguson Group's funding channels, or even draw loans from the Ferguson Group, right?
Is this the ticket for Xuri Electrical Appliances Retail Company to go public?”
"There's no such thing as a free lunch, Darwin."
Li Mochen smiled slightly: "Ferguson Media Group has a total of three short-term loans of 230 million gold shields due in the next month. And I hope that all banks in Atlanta can consider it rationally.
The operating status of Ferguson Group. After losing the teaching materials business, does Ferguson Media still have sufficient repayment ability?"
Opposite him, the handsome young man was deep in thought. After a full three minutes of long examination, this man spoke again: "I can help you. But Ah Mo, I need to understand before that.
, how much do you plan to give us specifically?"
"For the priority entry into the second round of financing, I will give you 3% of Gaosen's shares. Then there is also the priority of the listing underwriter. We will invite Gaosen Investment Bank to provide us with listing guidance one year later."
"No! No! This is too little. Ah Mo, if your Xuri Company really has to develop to more than 3,000 stores before launching the second round of financing, what will be left to us at that time will only be leftovers. I think it is 100%
Ten is a reasonable number."
Darwin Wollman began to bargain: "It is not a simple matter to completely cut off the bank's supply of funds to Ferguson. There are not many people in America who can do this."
"But there is still someone who can do it, right? I can also find Morgan or Lehman."
Li Mochen smiled, and his voice was extremely firm: "Five percent, no more, Darwin Rising Sun Company's second round of financing is indeed not friendly enough for your capital, but this also means that its future prospects
It’s infinite, isn’t it? Its future will definitely
It will be a company with a market value of one trillion yuan, what do you think? I think at that time, even if it is valued at 300 billion gold shields, you will still have several times the income. 300% profit. This opportunity is very rare. Once
You miss it and it won't come back."
Burne Georgia almost bit off his tongue. He couldn't believe it and looked at Li Mochen beside him.
That young man who was still fighting with me for a scholarship a few months ago has actually reached this point?
