I earn really hard money
Chapter 400 The Fire of Hope
Wilson, the chairman of the British Intercontinental Hotel, had an impromptu meeting the night before, so he went to bed at one o'clock in the morning. He was thinking about the results of the investigation, and woke up at seven o'clock in the morning. He waited until after nine o'clock. sent to his hands.
After looking through it carefully, Wilson frowned suddenly.
"The chairman of H·E Investment Company, He Xia, has a close relationship with Zhou Yuanmin's youngest daughter. They jointly run an entertainment company in Tianchao, and they co-founded the variety show "Aspirations". Dwayne Johnson personally helped out..."
"Zhou Yuanmin's eldest daughter, Zhou Shiyu, works in a laboratory under the name of H·E Investment Company, and is committed to the research of gene programming? This..."
After reading the investigation report, Wilson only felt his heart tighten, as if something had hit his head hard.
"Why didn't such a close relationship be discovered before!"
Wilson frowned and slapped the table heavily.
Before the cooperation, a very detailed investigation will be carried out, mainly for each shareholder, because some investment banks have a stake in each of them, so it needs to be considered carefully.
From Wilson's point of view, the relationship between the Zhou family and the He family is simply too close. Both daughters are related to He Xia. If there is no special purpose, he will not believe it.
Business marriages are very common in the circle of rich people, but what makes him a little puzzled is the unequal wealth gap between the Zhou family and the He family.
The Zhou family is indeed very rich, but even in its heyday, the Shiyuan Group was only at the level of 50 billion US dollars. From the perspective of ordinary people, it is definitely a giant ship.
You can take a look at H·E Investment Group. The valuation of the company’s shares exceeds 4000 billion US dollars, and most of them are hot big groups. !
These things are not something Wilson needs to consider, and he just passed them in his mind for a while, and then focused his thoughts on the things in front of him again.
"I didn't expect Shiyuan Group to have such a powerful reinforcement in secret, so...could this be a conspiracy by Excelle Group and Shiyuan against me and Lotte!?"
Thinking of this, Wilson lost his composure at all!
The strength of H·E Investment Company looks at the world, and it is also a leader in the world. Its strong capital is directly comparable to Berkshire Hathaway. Even if it is placed in investment banks such as BlackRock and Pioneer, it is also very eye-catching!
The most important point is that the H·E investment company only belongs to the He family, at least according to Wilson's information!
As for why Lotte Group was not included in the team, he felt that Lotte’s size was not qualified, unless Lepuxin Group made a move in person, but that was unlikely, because Lepuxin is a diversified investment group. Will place heavy bets on a single track.
Just as he was thinking of this place, the mobile phone next to the ashtray vibrated and rang pleasantly, causing the cigar on the ashtray to roll down to the table, leaving a trail of ash with sparks.
"Xie Te! Hurry up and pack it up for me..."
Wilson ordered the servant unceremoniously, stood up and picked up the phone to check, it was an unfamiliar number.
After hesitating again and again, he still connected the phone.
"Mr. Wilson, Merry Christmas. I'm He Xia from H.E Investment Company. Do you have time for a chat?"
Inside Hungerford Castle, He Xia was standing on the phone at the tallest watchtower, while Graffit had just left the castle by car in the distance.
Wilson's expression froze, never expecting that He Xia would take the initiative to find him, and subconsciously covered the phone's microphone, his eyes full of vigilance.
At this sensitive time, a sensitive person makes a sensitive phone call, which makes people very sensitive.
He knew that he couldn't delay for too long, and in a flash of thought, he planned to ask the other party's identity first, what if it was a fake?
Even if it were true, it would be nice to think about it as a procrastination.
"It turned out to be Mr. He from H.E Investment Company. I don't know how you know my number. We don't seem to know each other?"
"Hahaha." He Xia smiled, expecting the other party to be suspicious, which is normal, if he himself received a similar call, he would also consider the other party's identity.
"The Duke of Lensterma has a lot of friends. There are basically no rich men in the UK who he doesn't know. I can naturally find Mr. Wilson's phone number from him. Don't worry, I'm not here to question the Shiyuan Group."
Several key information are revealed in a simple sentence.
After hearing He Xia's words, Wilson's tense nerves relaxed a little, and at the same time, he basically confirmed the identity of the other party. Many people in the UK knew about the cooperation between H·E Investment Company and the Ark Foundation.
"Oh, haha. I'm a little too cautious. Mr. He also knows that there are too many liars nowadays... Now that you can contact the Duke of Lenstermar, it seems that it is indeed Mr. He Xiahe. Merry Christmas."
"By the way, Mr. He mentioned Shiyuan Group just now. I don't know what happened to Shiyuan Group?"
He Xia grinned slightly, but he didn't expect Wilson to pretend to be crazy.
"At this time, there is no need for Mr. Wilson to hide. I already know what happened to Shiyuan Group. Although it is a bit bullying, there is nothing wrong with it in business. I contacted Mr. Wilson this time to discuss the follow-up matters. "
Wilson's heart moved, and he asked tentatively: "Follow-up? I don't quite understand what Mr. He means."
"For example, I am interested in becoming a shareholder of Shiyuan Group, but I really don't want the company to be left in a mess as soon as it takes over, and it will be very troublesome to clean up the mess!"
He Xia said lightly.
Words uttered by different populations have completely different deterrence and influence, just like if this sentence was said in a small organization, Wilson would scoff at it, and he did not forget to add that the group that knew it was going to die still bought shares. Stupid as hell.
But from He Xia's mouth, Wilson was immediately alert, and almost blurted out: "H·E Investment Company actually intends to take a stake in Shiyuan Group?"
"That's right, I had a dream last night. I dreamed that the hotel industry would experience a good small blowout development in the next few years, but I only have a stake in a hotel group, Bethlehem Sands Group. This is obviously not enough, so I plan to invest in Shiyuan Group."
He Xia was talking nonsense.
"dream……"
Wilson grinned at He Xia's words. If he really wants to develop the hotel industry, there are a lot of high-quality hotel companies waiting to be fed, and he remembers that H·E Investment Company is the major shareholder of Bethlehem!
Bethlehem Group does not specialize in hotels, but Bethlehem, which operates casinos and resorts, wants to make efforts in the direction of hotels, isn't it easy?
And He Xia just focused on the dying Shiyuan Group, could it be that he has some serious illness?
Serious illness is impossible, so the remaining possibility is self-evident, and it is inextricably linked with the information in his investigation!
As for the blowout development that He Xia said, if Wilson believed a word, it would be insulting to his IQ.
"Mr. He, with all due respect, the situation of Shiyuan Group is not good now. You should know some news. Is it really appropriate to invest in Shiyuan Group at this time?"
Even though He Xia had clearly stated the problems of Shiyuan Group, Wilson still did not admit it, which shows that he is very careful.
The financial strength of H·E Investment Company is obvious to all. If He Xia is really allowed to become a shareholder of Shiyuan Group, the methods of the three alliances will appear a little pale.
"Appropriate or inappropriate, it depends on the point of view. From my point of view, it is suitable and that's enough!"
He Xia's words are very domineering, but he also knows that the method of bluffing is no problem for ordinary people, but it is not very useful for businessmen who have experienced great storms. What the other party needs is lure, not coercion.
So he continued: "Mr. Wilson, I hope we can become friends. In that case, after I become a shareholder of Shiyuan Group, we can deal with other groups together, and I promise that you will not return empty-handed from this trip."
There was a sense of seduction in He Xia's words, and he said slowly.
The feeling of conspiracy immediately raised Wilson's vigilance, and at the same time aroused his interest!
Just as He Xia thought, if he just blindly uses the capital power in his hands to threaten, it may have a certain effect in a short period of time, but it is definitely not a long-term solution. After all, there are still many forces stronger than him in this world today. few.
But if coercion is combined with temptation, the effect will be immediate.
Wilson hurriedly asked: "Who is the other group that Mr. He mentioned?"
He Xia smiled faintly in his heart, the effect he wanted had been achieved.
"Sorry, it's inconvenient to say right now... I still have to talk to Thomas Pulitzer. If Mr. Wilson treats me as a friend, then he will know who the other group is. Goodbye, Mr. Wilson."
After finishing speaking, He Xia happily hung up the phone.
"Hey……"
Wilson yelled to the phone twice depressedly, and said to He Xia in his heart: It's not dawn in the beautiful country, Thomas must not have woken up, please tell me who the other group is, ah hello!
Looking at the phone that had ended the call, Wilson fell into deep thought. He didn't expect He Xia to call him and tell him that he was going to take a stake in Shiyuan Group.
Although this approach is a bit presumptuous and even arrogant, Wilson has to consider it carefully, not because of anything else, but because of the strong capital strength of H·E Investment Company, it is fully capable of helping Shiyuan Group come back to life.
However, in the process of bringing the dead back to life, it is inevitable that there will be head-on conflicts with several companies that are targeting Shiyuan Group.
No one likes conflict because conflict means loss!
Originally, they were happy to carve up Shiyuan Group, but if it turned into fighting against H·E Investment Company together, it would be meaningless.
Wilson is by no means the one to back down easily when he is bluffed, otherwise he would not be able to inherit the Intercontinental Hotel from his ancestors. However, the current situation is worth being cautious, and the best choice is to wait and see what happens.
He Xia didn't think as much as Wilson. He was very honest and really called Thomas Pulitzer after finishing the call.
It is true that the beautiful country has not yet dawned, and it is true that Thomas Pulitzer has not yet woken up, but he has already woken up, and his mind is full of worries, which led to two or three hours of sleep last night...
The gorgeous bedroom, the soft big bed, the faint light, and the delicate and fragrant beauty were sleeping soundly. Thomas, who was over half a century old, stared at the ceiling with his eyes open. He was obviously sleepy, but he just couldn't fall asleep.
Suddenly the phone next to the pillow glowed. In sleep mode, there would be no sound or vibration, but the screen still glowed, especially in a dark room.
Thomas glanced at the phone number suspiciously, and dealt with unfamiliar calls very directly. He stuffed it under the pillow, and the light on the screen disappeared instantly, and he fell into darkness again.
He Xia waited for a while, until the phone automatically hung up, shook his head and said: "It seems that Thomas is not awake yet, let's ignore him, Lao Zhang, go and talk to Shiyuan Group about buying shares."
"Ok!"
Lawyer Zhang had a faint surprise in his eyes. He thought why the boss was joking with others before, but he didn't expect it to be true...
But it's nothing to think about it. It's really not a big deal for today's H·E investment company to become a shareholder of a group with a market value of about 50 billion US dollars.
Compared to Wilson, who slept for five or six hours, and Thomas, who slept for two hours, Zhou Yuanmin really stayed up all night, communicating with various venture capitalists, banks and financial institutions all night, hoping to raise a Lifeline money.
However, the reality is very cruel...
Ordinary people will not know what happened to Shiyuan Group, but as an industry insider, they definitely have first-hand information.
With the current situation of Shiyuan Group, it is impossible to borrow a dime at all!
Zhou Yuanmin didn't froth as exaggeratedly as in the movies and TV dramas, but he was really anxious, so anxious that he didn't hesitate to find usury, but even those desperadoes laughed and rejected the deal...
The night sky before dawn is the darkest. Even in a bustling city like New York, it will be quiet for a while at four or five in the morning.
Zhou Yuanmin, a pair of pandas, looked at the sky in the distance, with deep tiredness on their faces. He thought that the hotel group he founded was strong enough to resist the storm, but when the enemy united, he could not resist at all.
"Are you really going to disarm and return to the fields..."
Zhou Yuanmin couldn't help expressing emotion, it's really ironic that he struggled for half his life, but ended up with debts all over his body.
While feeling melancholy, the phone in his hand buzzed and vibrated.
One night, Zhou Yuanmin didn't remember how many calls he made, but none of them came in. This was the only one, and a ray of hope suddenly ignited in his heart.
Even if it is an unfamiliar number, there is an indescribable excitement.
"Hello, who is that?"
Zhou Yuanmin asked in as modest a tone as possible, speaking fluent American English.
"Mr. Zhou, I am lawyer Zhang from the legal department of H·E Investment Company. I am entrusted by Mr. He and would like to talk to you about becoming a shareholder of Shiyuan Group."
Lawyer Zhang sat opposite He Xia and said with a smile on his face.
Ask for a day off on May [-]st, let's say that code words are also laborers, laborers, enjoy a day off...
In fact, I'm out of town, my mother-in-law's home, and I won't return until the night of the first.
After looking through it carefully, Wilson frowned suddenly.
"The chairman of H·E Investment Company, He Xia, has a close relationship with Zhou Yuanmin's youngest daughter. They jointly run an entertainment company in Tianchao, and they co-founded the variety show "Aspirations". Dwayne Johnson personally helped out..."
"Zhou Yuanmin's eldest daughter, Zhou Shiyu, works in a laboratory under the name of H·E Investment Company, and is committed to the research of gene programming? This..."
