Professional matters should be left to professionals. Dulin has long understood this, but women as efficient and capable as Nadia are very rare. Dulin handed Nadia the list Mr. Jack gave him. Dulin had already contacted several people on that list. Although the talks could not be said to be bad, they could not be said to be very good. Part of this is due to his insistence on the bottom line of principles and his lack of experience in negotiating with these international financial tycoons.
These businessmen are like wild dogs that have been hungry for three months. It is of little significance to talk to them about ideals, the overall situation, and the overall plan. Each of them has to see and verify whether the benefits can really be obtained before they are willing to continue talking. They are not politicians. Sometimes Dulin feels that it is easier to chat with politicians. Even the most realistic and selfish politicians will have an ideal side. If they find their ideals and the key points, they will bow their heads. Only these capitalists are different. Their only ideal and pursuit is to see money, otherwise they won't say anything.
Nadia's skills in this area are many times better than Du Lin's. She was the former acting head of the public relations department of China Southern Commercial Bank and a former senior partner. She is now almost all the people in the public relations department of China Southern Commercial Bank. She is a "student" whose experience in the financial field is extraordinary. Almost all the people on the list that Du Lin gave her to contact were negotiated. Only one of them failed to reach an agreement, but the other party did not say everything in detail. He said that the discussion could continue, but the prerequisite was that Du Lin must be present in person.
"What's wrong with this person?" Du Lin looked at the information in his hand. It took Nadiya more than two days to find out this person's information. She also has some friends in the federation, including those who used to work in the bank. The relationship can still be used. In fact, this does not mean that Nadia has the ability or charm to maintain these relationships. People know her and make friends with her not because of herself, but because of the Southern Commercial Bank that once stood behind her.
Although she has left Nan Commercial Bank now, Du Lin stands behind her. Her value in this society has not been reduced much because she left Nan Commercial Bank. Those friends are naturally willing to continue to maintain this friendship.
This customer has a very good background. His name is Siddel, a shipping tycoon from the Principality of Farrolanco. He has more than 170 cargo ships in his hands, with trade routes all over the world. He controls almost all of Farrolanco’s import and export trade. in hand. Almost no one can compete with his power and wealth in Farolanco. Even the current king of the principality, Luther VII, is not taken seriously by him. Sometimes he will openly make the king of the principality look bad.
Fourteen percent of the entire Principality of Farolanco's properties are privately owned by him. It can be said that he controls the national economy to a certain extent. Not only is he of noble origin, but he also has a good relationship with the principality's military. Closely connected, a difficult character.
He had a lot of spare money in his hand with no place to use it, and it was all rotting in the bank. This time Mr. Jack from the Principality of Farolanco casually mentioned this matter, and the shipping king immediately became interested and expressed his willingness to join the game. Come. In fact, making money is no longer fun for people like him. What he enjoys is the wonderful experience brought by the rapid secretion of adrenaline. There is nothing more interesting than destroying a country's finance. To put it bluntly, Just curious and willing to spend money on it.
Nadia had a brief talk with him, but the effect was not good. First of all, this rich and powerful bastard thought that Du Lin looked down on him for not talking to him himself. Of course, this is a common problem among nobles, who always feel that everything is wrong. The nobles were all targeting him maliciously. He told Nadia that if he wanted to let him in, then Dulin must interview him. What he needed was Dulin, the person in charge, not just any cat or dog. It is the proper expression of respect for him.
Du Lin listened to her while reading the information. Finally, he threw the information on the table, leaned back, stretched out his finger and tapped on the information, "How much money does this guy plan to invest?" He did it for a trick a few days ago. It's enough. Two hundred million federal shields have been burned. If we can get a little more money, it will obviously be the best. Now that the overall situation has been decided, it would be best to seize more benefits!
Nadia hesitated for a moment, then said: "He showed me a promissory note from the Federal Bank for 500 million federal guilders..."
Du Lin took a breath. Five hundred million federal shields, according to the current exchange rate, is almost close to 150 million star dollars. How can this local nobleman be so rich? His eyes quickly focused on that information again. Perhaps this was normal. A nobleman controlled one-eighth of the country's wealth, and it was not too much to spend 500 million federal guilders...
Okay, that's too much.
If we simply talk about total assets, there are many capitalists and consortiums in the Empire and the Federation that exceed him, but those who can come up with so much cash without losing their breath are really rare. The more total assets an enterprise has and the higher its market value, the more stringent its control over working capital will be. In order for a company with total assets of one million to maintain normal operations, its working capital cannot be less than two hundred thousand. In addition to necessary expenditures, there is also a portion of risk funds prepared to combat risks that may arise at any time and at any time.
There are very few companies that can take out so much money in one go, except banks.
Du Lin pondered for a moment, and he decided to meet with this wealthy Nanda Road nobleman, and the time was agreed to be tonight.
In the evening at City Corner - a restaurant with a very federal style, which has a lot of fresh food, the kind that are eaten raw without any cooking method, with a little spice or dipping sauce. This restaurant is said to have a history of more than 200 years. The owner and chef are all of the same origin, and have been passed down for seven generations to this day. It has become a famous trademark and even an attraction in the city.
This restaurant is located in the center of the city. What is very interesting is that the restaurant is not in some high-rise building, but in an old house that retains the early architectural art style and can also see some things unique to the empire. There are only six tables in this restaurant, and each table is in a separate room, which makes it impossible for many people to enjoy the food here even if they have money, because they only accept "special people", or the rich and powerful. Of course, in order to show that they are friendly to the people, they will draw three lucky people every day from the numbers registered at the front desk who want to dine, so that ordinary people can also enjoy the delicious food here.
Du Lin was able to reserve a table thanks to Mr. Keller. As soon as Mr. Keller made a phone call, the restaurant agreed. They have spare rooms and dining tables prepared in case of emergencies. There are always some big people who suddenly want to eat the food here. For the big people, it may be a slap in the face, but for this restaurant, it is a must. Things to prepare.
When Du Lin arrived, the rich man had not yet arrived. The room was not big, and the decoration was very beautiful. It was similar to the style of about a hundred years ago. It was a period in the process of the transformation of the empire into the federation's own unique style. . There is also some simplicity in the luxury, and there is also some euphemism in the grandeur.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Mr. Rich Man finally arrived. He heard his laughter before he even entered the door, and he was full of confidence. The moment the door was opened, his eyes and Du Lin's eyes converged. The two looked at each other for a few seconds. The rich man immediately let go of his female companion and walked towards Du Lin. The two looked at each other again. After a while, they shook hands and sat down separately.
Du Lin didn't like this guy very much. He was too strong and aggressive, but thinking about the money in this guy's pocket, Du Lin felt that he could still sit down and have a chat. The two introduced themselves. This rich man from the Principality of Farrolanco is called Alan Duy. He is forty-seven years old this year.
After sitting down, Alan Duy nodded to Nadia with a half-smile, "We meet again, madam."
Du Lin turned his head and glanced at Nadia in confusion. Nadia smiled and said nothing, which made Du Lin feel a little strange. He quickly turned his head. Alan Duy did not come alone. He also brought two girls. They looked to be in their twenties and both were beautiful. If Dulin is a person who likes to watch federal movies, he will definitely find that these two girls are currently popular movie stars in the federation. Of course, Du Lin didn't like watching movies that much, so he couldn't recognize him.
Realizing that Du Lin didn't seem to be interested in his female companion, Alan Duy couldn't help but take the initiative to introduce him, "This is Hana, this is Teresa. The movie they just released has already locked the box office champion this year in advance. "
This is a person who likes to show off. Dulin smiled and nodded to the two girls, "Nice to meet you."
The girls also returned the gift one after another. They have long understood one thing when trying to make a living here in the Federation. They must not offend rich people, because behind every movie they make, there are rich people investing. Offending a rich person means offending a large group of rich people. That is the stupidest thing to do. There was once a movie queen who did this, so she has done it before.
"It seems that Nadiya told you after she returned..." Alan Duy smiled happily, "What's your opinion?"
What did you say
Dulin glanced at Nadia with some doubts. Nadia lowered her head and looked at the edge of the table. Alan Duy, who discovered this, smiled even more happily. He hugged the two girls and said with some arrogance, " It seems that Nadia didn't tell you, so I don't mind repeating it again. I was very unhappy when we met last time. Mr. Dulin, I respect you as a person, but you only sent one woman to contact me. It's an insult to me, but it doesn't matter, because you don't understand my customs."
"I know you are looking for investment and money everywhere now. I have plenty of it. I can also give this money to you for operation, but there is a condition."
Du Lin raised his eyebrows and smiled broadly. Anyone who knows him well knows that whenever he feels unhappy, he will smile enthusiastically, "What are the conditions?"
