Du Fei looked at the small box on the coffee table and chuckled, "Mr. Grant, what you mean doesn't seem very interesting~"
What is the concept of the Textile Group's project? It will cost hundreds of millions of dollars when completed.
What does it mean to use this little gold bar to spend it as a beggar?
A small box of gold bars looks intimidating, but in fact it only costs more than 10,000 U.S. dollars.
For ordinary people, it is considered a huge sum of money, but for Du Fei...hehe~
Grant narrowed his eyes under his glasses and said hehe, "Mr. Du Fei, you misunderstood. This is just a meeting gift for you. I will open a special account for you later. You can choose any bank in Hong Kong or Switzerland."
As long as you are willing to cooperate, one million US dollars will be deposited into the account immediately."
"One million~" Du Fei smiled half-heartedly, "Your Excellency, you are really generous."
There are not many millionaires in this era even in America.
Grant smiled and said, "Of course, you deserve this."
Du Fei said noncommittally, "Tell me what you want."
Grant straightened his back slightly and said, "We need to occupy a certain amount of equity in the future textile group..."
Du Fei was not busy talking and listened carefully to what Grant said.
He had a lot of demands, but in Du Fei's opinion, most of them were just smoke and mirrors, just to pay the exorbitant price on the spot.
The real purpose is to take shares.
Du Fei could even imagine how the media would publicize it once they succeeded.
When he finished speaking, Du Fei did not refuse immediately, but still smiled and said, "Mr. Will, this is no small matter. Why do you think I have this ability?"
Grant said, "Mr. Du, we know your background very well. You have great influence on your father-in-law. As long as..."
This time Du Fei interrupted, "I'm sorry, Mr. Will, if that's the case, I'm afraid one million... isn't enough."
Grant was stunned for a moment.
In fact, before he said this, he anticipated many of Du Fei's reactions.
But I didn't expect it to be like this.
Du Fei neither got angry nor emphasized his faith, but bluntly stated that one million dollars was not enough.
Grant was overjoyed.
In his opinion, he is not afraid that you will ask for a high price, but he is afraid that you will not ask for it.
For those who open a bank, the difference between one million and ten million is not big. Anyway, it is other people's money.
Grant had a knowing expression on his face, "I understand, I understand~ Mr. Du, don't worry, this million is yours. If you can persuade your father-in-law, that's another price..."
Grant didn't stay long, and he and Du Fei walked out of the door in less than half an hour.
In front of the door, there was a car with the sign of the Swiss Museum of History parked.
When Bush came over to ride a bicycle before, it was just his personality. People's hobbies don't mean they don't have cars.
Grant didn't like the simple, time-consuming and labor-intensive means of transport.
Dufy stood on the steps, waved to Grant in the car window, and watched the car drive away.
Turning around and returning to the courtyard, he first went to Zhang Wenzhong's house and called, "Old Zhang, ask Lao Zheng to come with us."
Zhang Wenzhong responded immediately.
After a while, he called Zheng Qingchun and came to Du Fei's office.
The two of them were startled as soon as they came in.
I saw twenty gold bars neatly stacked on the coffee table.
"Manager, this..." Zhang Wenzhong was a little at a loss. Although he had some knowledge, it was the first time he saw so many gold bars.
Zheng Qingchun next to him didn't react at all. His job was accounting, he was capable at the deputy director level, and he had never seen anything.
Twenty gold bars wouldn't make him fuss.
Du Fei said to Zheng Qingchun, "This is what the foreigner just sent me. Lao Zheng, please put it into the company's account. Lao Zhang, you can be a witness."
Zheng Qingchun nodded and said, "Can it be regarded as a courtesy gift?"
Du Fei said, "You are an expert, so you can figure out what is most suitable for you."
Zheng Qingchun responded, but did not dare to neglect.
Du Fei gave him this right, and he had to bear certain responsibilities.
Zheng Qingchun needs to think carefully.
Du Fei, on the other hand, didn't take it too seriously. After they left, he immediately called Zhu's father to report the situation.
After listening to what he said, there was no answer on the phone for a long time.
Father Zhu never expected this situation to happen before.
After a while, he said in a deep voice, "Wait a minute, you want to meet with Bush?"
Du Fei responded with a "yes" and explained, "Dad, Grant came to me to explain that they have a problem of their own, and their differences are so great that they can no longer be reconciled."
Dad Zhu agreed with Du Fei's judgment, but asked, "Why choose Bush?"
Du Fei was slightly speechless.
You can't tell Dad Zhu directly that Bush is the future commander-in-chief~
As for other excuses, it's okay to use Hu Nong Hu to Nong others, but forget it if you use Hu Nong Zhu's dad.
In the end, Du Fei could only hold back two words: "Feeling~"
Dad Zhu was silent for a moment, only said "I know" and hung up the phone.
Du Fei also hung up the phone, not surprised by the result.
In fact, this is how Dad Zhu treats the staff below most of the time.
Let you do whatever you want, don't pay attention to the process, only focus on the results.
If one thing,
The planning is very clever and the execution is very hard, but it is meaningless without good results.
As a superior leader, Dad Zhu will not interfere too much and does not have the energy.
Just now I asked, ‘Why did you choose Bush?’ This was the biggest reminder.
It’s also a question that hits home.
If Du Fei had not done the questions by looking at the answers, the most difficult thing about the whole thing, and the key to success or failure, would be the question of who to choose.
Afternoon, two fifty.
Du Fei rode his motorcycle to the place where he had tea with Bush last time.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw the very distinctive 28 bicycle.
Bicycles these days have many uses. They can carry people and things, long and short distances, and almost no one would remove the rear rack.
Especially for a big car like the 28, removing the rear frame means losing most of its functions.
Only someone like Bush who uses it as a toy would do this.
Parked the motorcycle and came upstairs.
Sure enough, Bush was sitting by the window just like last time, looking over the treetops at the rippling water of the North Sea.
"George~" Du Fei walked over and sat down opposite.
They were old acquaintances, and their meeting was not as polite as it was at the beginning.
After drinking tea and eating some snacks, Du Fei said, "George, what's going on? What's going on with Mr. Will? He doesn't seem to be very friendly to your family..."
Bush's face looked a little gloomy.
Du Fei secretly laughed in his heart, he didn't even need to add any fuel and jealousy, it was enough to just lay out Grant's plan.
According to Grant's request, he hopes to own a part of the shares in the new textile group.
Of course, these shares will not reflect America's existence.
You can set up an investment bank in a friendly country to China, and then use the name of this investment bank to hold shares in the textile group.
This approach seems good at first glance.
But it has greatly damaged the interests of the Bush family.
As the initial leaders, the Bush family used energy to promote this matter not because of the profit, but because of the political influence it would bring to the family.
If Du Fei's plan is followed, the two parties are secretly cooperating. The raw materials and market are for the United States, and the factories and workers are for growing flowers.
In order to coordinate this, the Bush family will play an indispensable role.
If Grant's plan is followed, the situation of direct investment will completely change.
Now that we have invested in the company, it is logical to assign management personnel.
It is equivalent to using the medium of the textile group to essentially break down the barriers between the two parties.
The role of the Bush family as a bridge has been greatly weakened.
wait So the fundamental interests of the Bush family were dug up.
How could Bush not be angry? If he didn't scold his mother right away, he was well-mannered.
More importantly, Grant Weir also had relatives with their family, which had a sense of backstabbing.
Logically speaking, Grant would never dare to do this.
Unless there is another huge force driving him behind the scenes, he can ignore the Bush family's counterattack.
Thinking of this, Bush's face became more and more gloomy.
Compared with the strife among domestic forces, there is no need to be so fussy with the flower growers.
Because for the Bush family, it is beneficial no matter what, to cooperate with Zhonghua to establish a textile group.
The difference is just a matter of the magnitude of the benefits.
But other powerful families in their country were secretly plotting through Grant, but they could never turn a blind eye.
On this matter, if the Bush family gives in, they will be regarded as weak and can be bullied by some people.
Bush took a deep breath and said sincerely, "Du, on behalf of the Bush family, thank you my friend."
This is exactly the effect Du Fei wanted.
Although the friendship between guests and guests is as unreliable as the weather forecast, at least when the chips are the same, friendship will play a decisive role.
Du Fei smiled gently, "George, we are friends. As I said before, I only trust you across the ocean."
A few minutes later, Du Fei stood in front of the teahouse, watching Bush get on his 28 bicycle and ride away.
I secretly calculated in my heart that the next thing about the textile group should be clear soon.
Either the Bush family simply gives up and goes all out to deal with domestic opponents.
Either take the lead and quickly advance to create established facts in accordance with the plan to maximize the family's interests.
In any case, there will be results soon.
Du Fei thought silently in his mind and turned to ride his motorcycle.
Suddenly, he walked away trailing a plume of black smoke.
In the next few days, the situation turned out exactly as Du Fei thought.
Bush moves very quickly and is worthy of being a leader in the future.
Just two days later, Grant Weir returned home in a state of disgrace and never appeared in front of Du Fei again.
On the fourth day, Bush found Du Fei again and directly finalized the plan.
Roughly in accordance with the charter previously proposed by Du Fei, the two parties will cooperate to establish the industrial chain of the textile and apparel group.
In the first phase, the United States invested more than 10 million US dollars and was responsible for purchasing the most advanced textile machines and sewing machines.
China is responsible for land allocation, factory construction, worker recruitment...
It is expected that in the first half of 1970, three branches will be built in the Beijing-Tianjin area, employing a total of more than 35,000 people.
