After constant bargaining with each other, the figures came to an initial scale of US$72 billion and a capital gains ratio of 15%. The initial scale was secondary. The key was the capital gains ratio. Lloyd was suppressed by the other party from 50%.
There is nothing you can do when it reaches 15%, because the initiative lies with Tiansheng Capital.
Lu Ming was extremely strong throughout the whole process. If he didn't accept it, he would just pull him away.
If I didn't make substantial progress after traveling all the way to meet with Lu Ming in person this time, I don't know if I would have to wait until the next time I want to see him. This face-to-face interview was achieved after a lot of trouble.
It's not that wanting to see Lu Ming is more difficult than climbing to heaven, it's actually very easy.
But the problem is that Lloyd's identity cannot be openly met with the head of Tiansheng Capital. North America must maintain a strong posture against Tiansheng Capital in front of the world.
If you come over in a swaggering manner and let people know that you came here to be subdued, it will cause huge dissatisfaction internally, so it is difficult to meet Lu Ming at this level.
This time Lao America came to talk about this matter, essentially because he saw that blocking Tiansheng Capital had no substantive effect. In recent years, the global capital market has reaped an average annual profit of tens or hundreds of billions of dollars. It is really jealous.
Just sit down and talk about it again, and you'll get some points. It's not authentic to eat alone.
That's what it is.
Negotiations at the meeting have made a big step forward, but they are still in progress, but they are also coming to an end. Lloyd said: "Mr. Lu, you need to disclose the position details of the list of assets invested in the global market after the agreement is signed, including specific details.
Position account, that’s part of the agreement.”
Lu Ming objected without hesitation on the spot: "This condition is absolutely impossible. What if you backhand change the rules of the game or freeze or even confiscate the assets in my account?"
Lloyd said confidently: "Mr. Lu, you are worrying too much. We have a binding agreement. Once signed..."
Lu Ming interrupted him directly and said: "Don't you know how binding the agreement really is? With all due respect, your credit here can only be given the worst D rating. I even prepared to sign it today at any time.
Be mentally prepared to tear up the agreement tomorrow."
To play in the opponent's field, you can only open a large number of "vest accounts" to play, and it will be life-threatening to act arrogantly, unplug the network cable, change the rules, etc., and do whatever you can to do it.
John Lloyd was at a loss for words, indicating that he still had some idea in his mind, but he immediately asked: "Then how can you ensure whether you have fraudulent performance? What if you secretly transfer profits? Based on the information you unilaterally disclosed
, we can’t trust it either.”
At this moment, what Lu Ming is actually thinking about is to let the other party know Tiansheng QDIE's position information for a suitable reason, but at the same time, it must be shown that it is the result of the other party's struggle, so that the market can be disguised as prey and induce
The opponent enters the game.
Ever since, the two sides have reached a stalemate here. They don't trust each other, and they both show it outright.
As far as the current relationship between the two parties is concerned, it is indeed difficult to establish reliable trust. Anyway, Lu Ming does not trust the other party at all.
After a long time, Lu Ming pretended to sigh and said: "The scale of the varieties we make can be disclosed to you, and the calculation will be based on the disclosed data. However, the specific position account details and transaction information data are the highest commercial secrets.
It’s absolutely impossible to tell you. This is our last concession. If it doesn’t work, we will declare the negotiation to be broken and everyone can go back to their own homes. I am also busy with the annual shareholders’ meeting at the moment and have a lot of things to do.”
After saying this, Lu Ming turned to look at the people sitting next to him on his side. Everyone understood and began to pack up the materials on the table, as if they were packing up and leaving.
At the same time, John Lloyd, who was sitting opposite, was also whispering to his people.
After a while, when Lu Ming's people were almost packing up their things, John Lloyd looked at Lu Mingyan again and said briefly: "Okay, Mr. Lu, we have one last additional condition, this
Neither party to the agreement is allowed to be exposed, and we will make some embellishments in the media at that time, and the content announced to the outside world may be different from the actual agreement."
The meaning of Lloyd's words, translated into Chinese, is that our country won a lot of money in this negotiation. Tiansheng Capital finally obediently agreed to a series of conditions we proposed. You see, not only did this initial negotiation result in a US$72 billion
According to the debt agreement, we will be loaned money every year from now on. We have not surrendered, we are very strong.
In short, our beautiful country has already won.
It's okay to say that your body is upright. There's nothing you can do about it. It's the right thing for the North American side to stay strong.
Lu Ming couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this. This was a typical case of saving face. However, he completely understood that Lao Mei was the current Blue Star chief after all. When necessary, he had to pretend to be fat even if his face was swollen. Being puffy was also fat, otherwise his hands would be so...
Many young brothers can't control their rhythm.
Of course, Lu Ming didn't write his inner thoughts on his face, he managed his expression steadily.
After Lloyd finished speaking, Lu Ming did not say anything, but stood up directly and stretched out his hand to wait. Seeing this, the other party also stood up and extended his hand as well. The two parties shook hands, which meant that they had officially reached the final consensus. They talked for almost a month.
After months, the matter was finally settled.
The next agreement can be signed in a day or two. It is a drawer agreement, that is, if it is signed in private, it will not be made public.
Lu Ming pays more attention to reality. The other party's additional conditions are not excessive, and he will not lose a piece of meat by selling face. Moreover, Lu Ming has his own plans in mind. This agreement also has a hidden trap, and only those who wish to take the bait will take the bait.
But Lu Ming was more than 70% sure that the other party would bite the hook, and he would be saved by the time.
In exchange for the agreement reached this time, the biggest positive benefit Lu Ming obtained was not directly related to Tiansheng Capital, but to matters related to the trade war. If the above matters were handled well, the task would be completed.
However, Lu Ming didn't have any expectations. Abandoning a contract was a daily routine for Laomei.
The real interest related to Tiansheng Capital is that Lu Ming has secretly set a trap. As long as the other party bites the hook, another wave of blood profits will be made.
On the evening of May 4th, the drawer agreement between the two parties was quickly concluded. The negotiation was naturally completed. John Lloyd did not stay in Ningzhou and left immediately after signing. The outside world did not know about this meeting between the two parties.
There was no media coverage.
All media are now focusing on the annual general meeting of shareholders held by Tiansheng Capital tomorrow. This is one of the highly anticipated events in the global investment community. Many investors have planned their schedules in May.
I came to attend Tiansheng Capital’s annual shareholder meeting in the first ten days of the month, and went to North America to attend the annual shareholder meeting of Berkshire Hathaway in the second half of the month.
