"Dear Mr. Rockefeller and Mr. Thomas, please allow me, on behalf of the owner of Emerald Island, to warmly welcome the two distinguished guests!" With a sincere smile on his face, Jiang Cheng extended a welcome speech to the two heads of world-class chaebol families.
These two big shots in front of him, from the perspective of the whole world, are existences that can cause earthquakes with just a stomp of their feet. Jiang Cheng had no choice but to come and receive them in person in such a grand manner.
It can be said that long before Emerald Island was opened, Jiang Cheng had intended to introduce world-class tycoons such as the Rockefeller family, the Mellon family, and the Morgan family to settle in Emerald Island.
These chaebol families possess unrivaled wealth. More importantly, after decades or even hundreds of years of accumulation, the business scope developed by these families has already penetrated into the daily lives of everyone in the world.
In fact, everyone in the world is surrounded by products and services produced by these world-class chaebols.
Their tentacles have expanded from the initial bulk commodities such as oil and minerals to banking services, catering services, financial services, daily necessities and even daily necessities.
It can be said that every person in the world, from birth to death, has more or less come into contact with and used the products of these world-class chaebol families.
Therefore, if Jiang Cheng wants to develop Emerald Island, he certainly cannot do without their support.
Without their participation, Emerald Island would probably find it difficult to provide the most complete and high-end services to the customers who come to Emerald Island. Their presence would be even more indispensable in a series of high-end VIP businesses such as finance and banking.
"Oh, dear Mr. Island Owner, the first time I saw you, I knew that my choice this time was absolutely the right one. I'm afraid only a young talent like you can build Emerald Island so well. I can't wait to start our cooperation." Old Mellon looked at Jiang Cheng and nodded with a smile.
For a person like him, accepting the invitation from Emerald Island would inevitably be opposed by some official forces in the country. However, in the end, he still ignored the opinions of others and came to this place regarded as a paradise on earth. From his observation just now, he was still very satisfied with the partner in front of him.
Although he looks young, he is very humble and knows how to entertain guests, which meets his basic requirements for a partner.
"Yes, Mr. Island Owner, although I have only been in Emerald Island for a short time, I have completely fallen in love with this place. If possible, I would like to buy a piece of land in Laputa, build a Western-style manor, and spend the rest of my life here." Old Rockefeller also said with a smile at this time, and by the way, he made a request of his own in an implicit way.
"No problem! It's my great honor to be loved by the two distinguished guests. Emerald Island has always adhered to the principle of openness and is always willing to open its doors to our investors." Jiang Cheng replied with a smile and very naturally.
Just like that, in the following time, Jiang Cheng brought a group of Emerald Island executives to meet with some senior figures of the two major chaebol families one by one, and then everyone took a flying car and went directly to the sightseeing banquet hall on the top floor of the magic funnel.
The windows are clean and the lights are bright.
Inside the luxurious banquet hall, old Rockefeller and Thomas Mellon looked down at the entire city and the twilight seascape in the distance with shocked eyes, and they were completely dazed.
"Oh, God! I can't imagine that there are such charming scenery in the world!" Old Rockefeller exclaimed in admiration with a trembling voice.
Behind him, Thomas Mellon was also staring into the distance with a twinkling gaze, and he was obviously very satisfied with the scenery here.
At this time, the service staff had gradually brought the gorgeous food and precious wine to the table, and Jiang Cheng invited the distinguished guests from the two major families to take their seats.
At the dinner table, Jiang Cheng and a group of senior executives from Emerald Island were present, and the dinner officially began.
"Thank you for the Rockefeller family's visit. The future of Emerald Island cannot be achieved without the strong support of the nobles!" Jiang Cheng raised his glass and smiled at old Rockefeller on his right.
"It is an honor for the Rockefeller family to come to Emerald Island to invest. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation!" Old Rockefeller nodded slightly and also expressed his gratitude to Jiang Cheng.
The two of them tapped their glasses lightly and drank them all.
After drinking the delicious wine, the two began to discuss the investment plan.
According to the original plan of the Rockefeller family, they planned to rent an office floor in the Endless Building as the headquarters of the Rockefeller family's Emerald Isle industry.
In addition, the Rockefeller family intends to invest huge amounts of money in Emerald Island, involving high-end service industries such as finance, banking, and credit.
Jiang Cheng readily agreed to this.
Next, there is the Mellon family.
Compared to the Rockefeller family, the Mellon family seems to be more interested in the infrastructure technology of the Emerald Isle.
Therefore, Thomas Mellon stated directly that he hopes to carry out in-depth cooperation with Emerald Island in the field of infrastructure, jointly develop the infrastructure industry, and expand infrastructure business around the world in the future.
After hearing about Mellon's intention to cooperate, Jiang Cheng hesitated for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
This kind of infrastructure black technology needs to be further promoted in the world, but at present, Jiang Cheng has been lacking a powerful spokesperson.
Cooperating with a family like Mellon that has great influence in the infrastructure field can greatly enhance the reputation of Emerald Island Infrastructure and open up broad market space.
Of course, in order to achieve this, some technological output is inevitable.
However, Jiang Cheng doesn't care too much about this. His black technology system contains a lot of future technologies, so there is no need to worry about the current infrastructure technology.
Jiang Cheng is well aware that sharing some technology with partners will help them to cooperate better with each other.
The reception continued.
In the following time, the leaders of the two families finally mentioned the core issue of this cooperation.
Rent and tax issues for office space.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng smiled slightly and stated his offer in a very calm tone.
The rent in Laputa City CBD is priced at US$6,000 per square foot. Converted into the total price, the annual rent for the office area rented by the two families will be as high as US$1.2 billion!
As for taxes, Jiang Cheng demanded 20% of the other party's profits!
After hearing Jiang Cheng's offer, the two heads of the chaebol families were all stunned. They thought they had heard it wrong!
Annual rent of 1.2 billion US dollars, and 20% profit margin!
Oh my god!
Is the owner of the Emerald Island in front of me crazy
This kind of request is no different from robbery!
You know, even in the world's most prosperous CBD, Manhattan, New York, there is no such high bid. According to the bid proposed by Jiang Cheng, this is almost twice that of the Manhattan business district in New York!
This is absolutely a robbery!
The faces of the two bosses turned ugly after Jiang Cheng made this offer. The calm expressions on their faces before disappeared at this moment.
