Tangni obviously didn't expect Xiao Zheng to bid so blatantly. ??.
.??In his opinion, and even in his father's expectation, the master should at least be polite first.
What was even more unexpected to Downey was that Xiao Zheng's price was too high.
As far as Downey knew, the Yan family, which had withdrawn its capital, had only invested a total of 10 billion. But the master asked him for 20 billion.
This is real money. This is not the so-called market value!
Lin’s market value is 1.5 trillion!
Can Mr. Lin spend 1.5 trillion to squander it
I can’t even get out 500 billion!
Market value and actual capital flow are always two different things.
"Master - you're a little too open-mouthed." Donnie took a puff of cigarette and said with a sad face. "Dad didn't give me such great authority."
"If you don't have money, stop showing off in front of the master." Xiao Zheng glared at Downey. "Your master, I am not a poor person now. I don't have one or two billion, how can I be in my eyes?"
Tangni chuckled, scratched his head and said, "I heard that Ling Huzhu went back to the Northeast base camp to look for investment. Although a few rich people agreed to invest, it is only three to five billion in size."
After a brief pause, Downey said with a serious attitude: "According to my estimation, Linghu Zhu can bring in at most two billion, no more."
Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes and smiled: "You brat, you are well prepared."
Downey said with a smile: "Master, don't underestimate me. In the past year, I have completed two major projects on Wall Street, involving a capital of one billion."
Xiao Zheng was slightly startled when he heard this.
It seems that Gandolf, like Old Demon Lin, has also accelerated the training of his offspring.
I feel that my descendants are good enough and can stand on their own. Or do you feel that the current situation is unstable and want to train a successor as soon as possible
Xiao Zheng clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It's really amazing."
Tangni was not stupid. He heard the perfunctory tone in Xiao Zheng's tone and curled his lips and said, "Master, are you trying to argue with me?"
"Did I show it so obviously?" Xiao Zheng smiled playfully.
Danny took a sip of tea and said, "Master, I know you are in a bit of a difficult situation right now."
"Nonsense." Xiao Zheng said seriously. "Master, I am eating and sleeping well now, why is it so difficult?"
"Because your enemy is too powerful. Even Mr. Justin got off the bus midway." Downey did not gloat, but looked worried for Xiao Zheng's sake.
Xiao Zheng slapped Downey on the forehead: "You are the only one who knows more!"
After a pause, Xiao Zheng opened the curtains, put his hands on his hips and said, "Tell me your reason for coming."
"Invest." Downey said firmly. "My father appointed me as the president of Asia. The Chinese market is the first fortress I want to conquer."
"I suggest you go to Southeast Asia first." Xiao Zheng shook his head and said. "The situation in China is very complicated now. It would be easy for the whole army to be wiped out if we come in."
"That's why I found a great supporter like my master." Danny chuckled. "Follow the master and you will have meat to eat."
"Didn't you just say that I was in a difficult situation?" Xiao Zheng glanced sideways at Downey. This little guy's public relations lines are slipping away more and more.
"But I believe that the master will pass the test smoothly. And - my father and I have the same opinion. We are optimistic about big entertainment projects." Downey said thoroughly. "Of course, the most important reason is that in large entertainment projects, the master is only a participant, not the leader. So I want to get a share of the pie."
If it were a project led by Xiao Zheng, Downey wouldn't be so eager to join. That would destroy the master-disciple relationship between him and Xiao Zheng.
For some people, earning a few dollars less will not make them poor, but without that friendship, they will be extremely lonely.
That's who Downey is.
He values love and justice, very similar to Xiao Zheng.
Of course, Xiao Zheng also understood Tangni's purpose.
Get a share of the big entertainment projects. It was also at a critical juncture that we pulled in a big entertainment project.
Shang Yao withdrew his capital, and Linghu Zhu was like an ant on a hot pot. Even at all costs to attract investment. Even if it involves sacrificing project leadership to a certain extent. But without enough funds, it will be even harder.
Downey's large amount of funds will not only relieve urgent needs, but also give the project enough confidence to expand. At the same time, it provides the Downey family with a green channel to enter the Asian market.
No joke, all aspects involved in a large entertainment project are like a huge market of contacts. Once you come in, you will have an amazing network of connections.
This is also the resource Downey needs. Even to a certain extent, it is more important than a certain amount of wealth.
Judging from the China fever that is emerging all over the world, the influx of Wall Street funds into the Chinese market has become an unstoppable trend.
But who can control these huge funds depends on who is more capable.
Obviously, Xiao Zheng is such a capable and trustworthy backer.
At least Gandolf trusted him enough to be willing to spend a lot of money to support him.
Xiao Zheng lit a cigarette and asked, "What is your bottom line?"
"Eight billion." Downey immediately turned in half and then turned, and then, without waiting for Xiao Zheng to react, Downey continued. "But I said hello to my father in advance. Because I am discussing cooperation with you, master. I hope to increase the bottom line to 10 billion. The two billion will be my filial piety to you."
Xiao Zheng said playfully: "You really do both soft and hard things."
Danny smiled and said, "I learned it all from my master."
"Eighty is eighty. Master won't bargain with you." Xiao Zheng took a puff of cigarette and sat down against the table. "But I need to make something clear to you."
"In the Chinese market, we only enjoy dividend rights, not operating rights. We can even give up shareholder voting rights." Downey said grandly.
Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Boy, you are quite good at negotiating." After a brief pause, he asked. "Then what do you plan to buy with these eight billion?"
"North American operating rights in five or ten years." Downey said word by word. "Master, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. My father attaches great importance to the globalization of major entertainment projects. Once we expand into the North American market in the future, the rewards will be extremely generous."
Xiao Zheng sighed softly, secretly thinking that Gandolf's eyes were vicious. Spending such a large amount of money is just for the layout in five or even ten years.
And this money and this strategy are probably also paving the way for his son
Even if the big entertainment project fails to achieve the expected returns, the connections gained in the Chinese market and the cooperative relationship with Xiao Zheng are still worth the price of admission for Gandolf.
"Okay. These are all easy to discuss." Xiao Zheng nodded, originally wanting to arrange a meeting between Tangny and Linghuzhu. But he saw Donnie stand up and chuckle. "Master, where is Brother Ma? I'll have a cup of tea with him."
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he was furious on the spot. Kicked Donnie on the butt: "Do you want to drink tea or flower wine!?"
