America's Road to Fame

Chapter 47 I have a few requests
"William, thank you for this gift, I like it very much."

When William Chen returned home, he received a call from Paris, knowing that she had returned to New York again, so he took the Hermes bag he bought at the charity auction last time, and came to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel again. Dinner with Paris.

This is Paris's family property, which is her home field, so she is very casual here.

She took the red crocodile leather bag that William Chen had just given him, looked left and right, couldn't put it down, and said to William Chen:
"I also paid attention to this bag when it was first put on the shelves at the beginning of the year, but it was taken away by someone else. I regretted it a bit. I didn't expect it to be mine again now. You are awesome, William."

While talking, Paris couldn't help but walked to William Chen's side again, hugged him and kissed him.

After eating, Paris finally calmed down. She looked at William Chen thoughtfully, and said suddenly: "Dear William, I read from the report that the earrings Ivanta is wearing are yours. Got it for her from the auction, didn't you?"

"Uh, Paris, it's mainly because of your beauty, you don't need other decorations to set it off, and Ivanta is just my friend, you know." Not good, this girl's IQ suddenly went up after she was moved, William Chen forced himself said with a smile.

"Hmph, you also said to the reporter that I'm your friend, William, you'd better not let me know what other thoughts you have about Ivanta." Paris said angrily.

Hearing what Paris said, William Chen felt a headache.It seems that hugging left and right is not so easy, even Paris will knock over the vinegar bottle from time to time.

William Chen knew that when faced with this kind of thing, of course he couldn't reason with her. The best way was to divert her attention elsewhere.

"My dear, let's go on vacation for a few days after I finish working these two days? Do you have a favorite place?" William Chen asked, holding her hand.

"Really? That's great, William. I've actually had the same idea recently. It seems that we really have a good understanding. When can we go? I have to think about where to go."

Sure enough, hearing William Chen's words, Paris immediately became happy. She tilted her head slightly, her face excited, as if she was thinking about where she was going.

"It will be right away. I don't have much to do recently. I can go out for a few days before school starts. You can think about where we will go to play first."

In fact, it wasn't just to appease Paris, William Chen also moved to relax.Since he came to this world, he has been busy with tension and pressure, and he can take advantage of this time to relax physically and mentally.

But some things can't be avoided blindly. After all, some solutions must be found to solve them, just like the relationship between Ivanta and Paris.

William Chen could also tell that although Paris and Ivanta had a good relationship on the surface, they could be called girlfriends.But in fact, the two will still compete with each other secretly, so Paris will be extra cautious and resistant to the relationship between Chen William and Ivanta.

It seems that I need to use my strength to make Paris realize the reality, that is, how hopeless it would be for her to face her own offensive alone.

William Chen did not return to his residence that night, but spent the night in Paris's own room at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

He thought that Erica was still living in his home now, and if Paris was added, it seemed a little crowded.The most important thing is that it seems that the sound insulation effect will not be so satisfactory.

At this time, William Chen really hoped that the subprime mortgage crisis would come sooner. At that time, he could buy a relatively large property at a lower price. For example, those manors around Long Island seemed to be very good.

After Chen William agreed to take Paris out for fun, she was also in a very good mood, and she was particularly active this night.However, it was not of much use. In the end, under William Chen's deliberate efforts, Paris was beaten back to her original shape, crying and falling asleep...

……

"William, what are your thoughts on the new plan I mentioned earlier? I hope we can work together to make Building 666 a new landmark in New York."

Not long after William Chen arrived at the office in the morning, Garrett came to see him and asked for his answer.This made Chen Weilian even wonder if this kid had sent someone to monitor his movements.

"In principle, I can agree to your plan, Garrad." Seeing his own words, Garrad's expression flashed with unconcealable excitement, William Chen continued: "However, I have a few requests .”

"You can talk about any opinions, and I will try my best to make us reach an agreement." Knowing that the most critical moment had come, Gareth became serious.

"First of all, it is about the funds invested by the Kushnar Group in your plan to renovate Building 666. I need to know the exact time when these funds will arrive, otherwise I can't be sure whether you have painted a big cake for me, and then in the end it was not I can't get any cake."

"Regarding this, William, you can rest assured that in this plan, 10 billion US dollars is the first step to invest in shares, and these funds will enter the account of Building 666 Fund Management Company within a week after we reach a definitive agreement superior."

"As for the remaining 20 billion US dollars, you know, William, the renovation of the building will be a long-term project. After our estimate, the completion period of the renovation will be about 10 months. The required renovation funds are not at the beginning. We need to use all of them, and if we keep these funds in the company's account, it will cause great waste."

"But I can guarantee that during the renovation process of the building, we will definitely invest in the funds in time without any delay."

William Chen had an expression of "I knew it was like this a long time ago" on his face:

"The situation you mentioned does exist, but Jared, you need to know the current situation. It is not that you have invested funds to renovate the building that is completely owned by the Kushnar Group, but that the prerequisite for you to hold shares in Building 666 is to agree to it. The investment of the next 20 billion US dollars, so I must get enough guarantees."

"You also know that your verbal promises are useless. I have no reason to believe your promises. If you want me to agree, you must put these promises into a paper contract. I can't allow you to After completing the holding with these favorable conditions, there is room for other operations.”

"Therefore, if you want me to agree to your plan, my bottom line is that you must give a clear timeline for the availability of funds and write it into the contract. If you breach the contract, then you must completely withdraw from the shares in Building 666."

The reason why William Chen agreed to his plan was to allow Kushnar Group’s funds to be allocated to this project as much as possible, so that when the subprime mortgage crisis came, he would have the greatest possibility of getting back the shares of the building. .

Therefore, if this goal cannot be achieved, he will not easily lose his controlling interest in the building.

"I know what you think, William. I hope you believe me. I sincerely hope that we can work together to complete the transformation of Building 666. I will discuss with the Kushnar Group's board of directors and give you the best plan as soon as possible. appropriate answer."

After this period of contact, Garrett can also see that the current William Chen is still very different from the image of the prodigal son in the rumors before, so it is impossible to hope to use these simple means to achieve his own goals. the goal of.At present, it still needs to give him some practical guarantees.

"In this way, I will wait for your reply, but you need to know that I will not give you too much time, and don't try to use these things to delay."

William Chen continued: "Garrett, I hope you can understand one thing, that is, the proposal to renovate Building 666 is your more urgent idea, not mine. On the contrary, I did not agree with it from the very beginning. This is the time to carry out the renovation, and I understand why you are so eager to carry out this renovation plan, and you still want to get a controlling stake in Building 666."

"Since this is the case, if you want me to accept your plan, you must at least give me enough guarantees to make sure that after you get the controlling stake, you will not harm my interests because of your controlling position. Believe in me That's not too much to ask, is it?"

"I can also understand your concerns, William. After all, before this, our Kushnar Group was in such a position." Garrett looked at William Chen and said sincerely.

"It's good that you can understand, so in order to reassure me, in addition to the time when your 30 billion US dollars will be credited to my account as I just said, I need to get another guarantee."

"In order to ensure that you will not use your controlling position to harm my interests as a minority shareholder, I need to have the three rights of pre-emption, pre-emption, and follow-through. You understand, as long as your Kushnar Group is really In order to develop the prospects of Building 666, instead of having other thoughts, the rights I want are actually of little use."

Of the three rights that William Chen is demanding, the right of first refusal is similar to the right of first repurchase that his predecessor demanded when he sold his stake in Building 666 to the Andal Trust.

This means that if the Kushner Group wants to sell their shares in Building 666 Asset Management Company, William Chen has the priority to acquire their shares at the same price.

The right of first sale means that when someone proposes to purchase the shares of Building 666 at a premium, William Chen has the right to ask for the first sale of his shares.

Because premium acquisitions often occur, there will be a limit on the number of shares purchased, and not all shares will be bought. Therefore, if you have the right of first sale, you can give priority to selling your own shares when others buy shares at a premium.

As for the follow-up share sale, if the Kushnar Group negotiates with a third party to sell its own shares, and William Chen thinks the other party’s bid is acceptable, he can use this right to bind his own shares with the shares of the Kushnar Group, and also That is to say, if a third party wants to acquire the shares of Kushnar Group at the agreed price, it must purchase the shares of William Chen together.
