My 1999
Chapter 909 The Second Round of Negotiations (One more chapter)
Three days passed quickly.
Helping Xu Liang to tidy up his clothes, Christina showed worry on her pretty face.
"Honey, do you think they will compromise?"
"Yes."
"Really?"
The beauty was surprised.
"Of course." Xu Liang affirmed, "If they don't accept our conditions, then this time it's not a meeting, but a direct challenge."
Christina understood it after thinking about it.
Since they have decided to tear each other apart, there is no need to meet again to discuss.
Only if they decide to accept his suggestion will they discuss the details in detail.
"Great, I have been worried these days, afraid that they will refuse." Christina patted her towering chest with a happy look.
"Let's go. Listen to their conditions."
Xu Liang took Christina, who was dressed up, downstairs.
There were still five black Maybachs in a row.
After getting in the car, the car drove out of the underground garage.
In order to prevent someone from seeing the license plate of his vehicle through telescopes and other things, and then attacking.
Therefore, the mansions where he lives basically have underground garages.
Even if there is peeping, it is unknown which one it is.
Plus the constant change of arrangement in the middle.
Safety is greatly improved.
As his net worth gets higher and higher and his influence gets bigger and bigger, he pays more and more attention to his own safety.
He never hesitates to spend money on this.
He knows very well that before the family is established and the second generation grows up.
He is always in danger.
Because if he is killed, the huge Xu family will fall apart under the greed of countless ambitious people.
"Lv Hui?"
"You order four identical business jets from Boeing according to the specifications of Kunpeng." Xu Liang suddenly explained.
A Kunpeng is like a big light bulb. As long as it flies, everyone knows where it is going.
Five are different, which means that the vision is confused.
As long as he doesn't expose himself, no one knows where he is.
"By the way, of these five business jets, one is attached to Vivendi Group, one is attached to Hanhua, one is attached to Facebook, and the last one is attached to Master Kong."
His current one is attached to Hongmeng Company, which is considered Hongmeng's asset, but he has the right to use it.
A common trick used by the rich.
The money for buying the planes, maintenance and upkeep is from the company, but the enjoyment is mine.
"Also, these five planes, when I don't need them, the five companies can use them at will."
Xu Liang made up his mind.
No matter where he goes in the future, he will never take a business jet alone, but will mix in the company's business trip team.
Conceal his itinerary and destination as much as possible.
"Understood."
Lv Hui quickly agreed.
She only thought that the big boss was rich and powerful, but she didn't guess that Xu Liang's real purpose was to protect his life.
The car soon arrived at the Vivendi Building in La Defense, the CBD of Paris.
He got out of the car.
Jean Foch hurriedly came up to greet him.
"Boss."
After Xu Liang smiled and nodded, he put his left hand on his shoulder, with a close attitude.
"Foch, the group is grateful to you for the past two days. If it weren't for you, Vivendi Group would have been demoralized and its market value would have collapsed."
"You are too kind, these are what I should do."
Foch said respectfully.
He has talent, but he knows how to behave.
After Xu Liang's entry into Vivendi became a foregone conclusion, he smoothly lowered his position.
He changed the name "Xu" to "BOOS".
He smiled and patted his shoulder.
"The investigation of the Securities Commission will be over soon, and the group will have a series of adjustments next. At this critical moment, I hope you can give 100% of your enthusiasm and energy to lead the group through this difficult time."
Foch was shocked.
Although he didn't know the inside story of the Securities Commission's investigation, he could guess a little.
But Xu Liang's ability to 100% so quickly still surprised him.
"Don't worry, I will do my best to assist my wife in completing the rectification of the group."
Facing this guy's temptation, Xu Liang gave him another reassurance.
"Christina is not very familiar with Vivendi, and lacks some management experience. The management of Vivendi is still mainly based on you."
Foch, who was relieved, nodded quickly.
"Are all the people here?" Xu Liang asked.
"We're here. Mr. Bernard Arnault, Mr. Barthélemy Mouriez, Mr. Alain Widmore, Mr. François Pinault, Ms. Françoise Bettencourt Meyer and Mr. Pierre Peugeot have all been arranged in the group's small conference room."
"Let's go, see these guys again."
He took the elevator with big strides.
Everyone followed.
Different from Hanhua's Paris office.
The Vivendi Building is an independent building.
It was officially completed in 1999, with 24 floors and a construction area of 98,700 square meters. The property rights belong to the Vivendi Group.
But in addition to the Vivendi Group, this is also the headquarters of Veolia Environment Group.
The two companies have just separated for less than two years and have not had time to separate.
The small conference room of the Vivendi Group is located on the 23rd floor. In the center of the space of more than 100 square meters, there is an oval ring-shaped conference table.
Two rows of chairs are placed around the conference table.
Bernard, Murray, Alain Widmore and six others sat in the front row.
Their bodyguard and secretary sat in the back.
Several people who were communicating with each other heard the chaotic footsteps coming from far away and looked up in unison.
Soon, Xu Liang, still wearing a white shirt and black trousers, dressed casually; Christina, with her hair tied high, wearing a women's cream-colored belted suit with small lapels and cream-colored nine-quarter pants, walked in.
Bernard, Mouriez and others quickly stood up to show respect.
Xu Liang smiled slightly, and neither party shook hands.
"Everyone, we meet again. I hope we can reach a contract that satisfies both parties this time."
"This is also what we expect." Bernard said with a smile.
Xu Liang sat down across from everyone with a golden sword.
Lu Hui waved her hand.
Xu Liang's bodyguard quickly closed the door and turned on the jammer he carried with him to prevent eavesdropping and recording.
"Okay, everyone. Our time is precious, and there is no need to waste it. Let's get straight to it. Three days have passed, have you come up with the result of your discussion?" Xu Liang said.
Mouriez said: "Since Mr. Xu is so direct, we will speak out. After repeated discussions, we finally made a unanimous decision.
We can give up the equity of Hanhua Group.
But as a price, you must give us a share of 6 billion euros in the Pacific Fund. It is not a one-time grant, but 6 billion euros every time the Pacific Fund raises funds.
Also, after the merger of Vivendi Network and Sina, we will be given a 30% equity stake based on a valuation of US$18 billion, with full voting rights. "
Although the conditions were very high, Xu Liang was relieved.
These guys chickened out.
It doesn't matter if the conditions are high.
If you can retreat once, you can retreat a second time.
Is it nothing more than negotiation?
"You are too greedy. I didn't tell you before that I would give you the share of the Pacific Fund. And at the last cocktail party where Hanhua's Paris office was established, I already gave you 1 billion euros.
Now, I don’t have that many shares on hand.
Of course, if you don't mind it, I can set up a hedge fund for you alone. But time is short, and I don’t have any good investment direction at the moment.
So this hedge fund may not be very profitable.
In this case, are you still willing to invest? "
Looking at the smiling Xu Liang, everyone frowned unconsciously.
They originally thought that Xu Liang would bargain, but they didn't expect that the other party actually gave such an answer in the end.
"How many shares of Pacific Phase II Fund does Mr. Xu still have on hand?" Mouriez asked.
They all know that the second phase of the Hanhua Pacific Fund's fundraising will be over in half a month.
Leaving some shares is also convenient for Xu Liang to exchange other interests and develop his businesses.
Just like this acquisition by Vivendi Group.
But it is impossible to leave too much because it will affect the investment return of Pacific Fund.
That's why Mouriez asked.
"A little more than 900 million euros." Xu Liang said directly.
It’s not okay to say too much, and it’s not okay to say too little.
He felt that 900 million was an appropriate number, close to 10, but a little less.
It’s similar to the 9 Yuan 9 free shipping offer.
Everyone exchanged glances, and the situation was somewhat beyond their expectations.
Bernard asked.
"If we contribute money to establish another fund, will it be managed by Mr. Xu himself?"
"Of course. But it's still what I said before.
I don't have a good investment direction right now. If you are willing to wait, I don't mind raising a little more money. "Xu Liang said with a smile.
He is so free and easy, but it makes Bernard and others unable to deal with him.
They are all here for doubled returns, yet you say this.
Can there still be some trust between people?
"Arnault, I think 900 million euros is acceptable." Mayer couldn't help but said.
"I think so too." Alan Widmore followed closely.
Everyone has different investment styles. Some people are risk-averse, while others are risk-averse.
Mayer and Widmore both belong to the latter.
Seeing that his small group was divided by Xu Liang from the beginning, the investment amount was reduced from 6 billion euros to 900 million euros without any effort, leaving him no room for bargaining.
Bernard couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Awesome".
The young Xu Liang's grasp of people's hearts is no less than his.
Gazing across everyone, except for Mouriez, the other four people all had the word 'give up' in their eyes.
"This time it can be US$900 million, but if the Pacific Fund raises funds again, we must have a share of 6 billion euros."
"Ok, no problem."
Xu Liang simply agreed.
The current fund size of the Pacific Fund is US$60 billion.
When the lockdown is lifted next time, Xu Liang plans to increase the fund size to US$100 billion.
There is plenty of room for the amount of investment that Bernard et al.
Moreover, this is also a connection of interests.
With these 6 billion euros in hand, we are not afraid of these guys stumbling upon the Vivendi Group again.
Otherwise, Xu Liang has a hundred ways to make all the 6 billion euros a loss in a reasonable way.
Of course, this is the last resort.
Injure the enemy by one thousand and injure yourself by eight hundred.
He wouldn't do it unless he had to.
