I earn really hard money

Chapter 404



In a hotel in Zurich, Grafite walked into the room carrying a bag. Adozad, who was leaning against the window, got up quickly and asked somewhat cautiously, "Grafit, have you got the equipment yet?"

puff puff.

"Of course!" Graffit patted the black bag in satisfaction: "Mr. He will definitely make the guy behind the scenes look good tomorrow, and the other party will definitely not come unprepared, so we must be prepared!"

With a tear, the zipper was opened, and there were ammunition in the bag that was no less than that carried by Adozad and the others during their missions.

"This is the first time I'm helping Mr. He, so I must do it beautifully no matter what!"

While talking, Grafite raised a miniature submachine gun and aimed at the artwork on the wall, but at this moment, the phone rang.

Putting down the gun and taking out the phone from his pocket to look, Grafite excitedly connected the phone: "Eliza, is there a new arrangement? Our side has already prepared it, but it's a pity that we didn't get a sniper rifle!"

Elisa sighed secretly when she heard Graffit's excited tone. It is enough to have one battle mad Greck in the team, and another Grafitt is really troublesome...

"Yes, there is a new arrangement, but it is different from what you think... We have already eliminated the behind-the-scenes employer. Mr. He asked you to hand over the money to Adozad, and then you can come back!"

"This...you mean that the operation will be canceled tomorrow?"

The joyful expression on Grafite's face collapsed in an instant, and he looked helplessly at the weapons in the black bag. Isn't this work and excitement in vain?

"No, that's what Mr. He meant. From your tone, you seem disappointed?"

Eliza asked.

"Don't talk nonsense. How could I be disappointed? I'm very happy that you can get rid of the employer. Well, did Mr. He make a move?"

Graffit knew that Elisa must be with Boss He, and that every word he said might be heard by the other party, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Elisa glanced at Boss He next to her, and said with a smile: "Of course the boss took action himself, we only have to cooperate."

This is really true, it was He Xia who negotiated with Li Donghuan from the beginning to the end, and the three of Gourav just played as an assistant.

Graffit became even more depressed after hearing this, and muttered: "If I knew it, I wouldn't have come to meet Adosad, and I missed such a wonderful thing..."

"Okay, don't be naughty, hurry up and go to China on the plane at night. If you can't make it to Heathrow before [-]:[-] pm UK time, you will have to stay in Hungerford to guard the castle."

Eliza said jokingly.

"Oh, Shet!"

Graffit didn't dare to be negligent after listening, and quickly hung up the phone, then took out a card from his pocket and threw it to the eager Adosad, reported a series of numbers and left the hotel.

Only Adosad, who was holding a bank card, was left blankly staring at a bed of ammunition...

At this time, as long as a few local policemen rush in, Adozad can get a pair of silver bracelets, as well as five to ten years of paid board, lodging and holidays!
The old BMW drove to the parking lot of Hungerford Castle, but Robert, who had been waiting by the side, did not see He Xia get out of the car, and asked Elisa suspiciously: "What's wrong with Mr. He?"

Elisa made a phone call gesture and said, "Important call."

At this moment, He Xia is answering a call from Thomas Pulitzer of Excelle Group in the car.

"Mr. He, I'm so sorry for missing the call in the morning."

Thomas didn't get up until after the sky lighted up in the beautiful country. At that time, he had already forgotten about the call from an unfamiliar number. After his subordinates handed him the information about investigating He's and Zhou's families, he felt the need to get in touch with He Xia and discuss about it. Things about Shiyuan Group.

Thomas sent someone to find He Xia's contact information, and when he dialed, he found a missed call, which surprised him!
Excelle Group's desire to deal with Shiyuan Group is entirely driven by interests, without any personal emotional factors involved. However, if this incident provokes a more powerful enemy, it will definitely not be worth the candle.

So as soon as the call was connected, Thomas quickly apologized, keeping his posture relatively low.

Within the Excelle Group, Thomas is definitely the number one man in charge of the wind and rain. Even in the business circles of the beautiful country, he is also an amazing businessman, but he still maintains a humility in front of the chairman of the world-renowned investment company.

He Xia didn't know yet that his own name had been removed from the Forbes list, but Thomas knew that as long as He Xia was willing to let Forbes publish the statistics, he would definitely be at the top of the list!
The total wealth of H·E Investment Company has far surpassed Bezos's $300 billion...

However, He Xia made the same decision as those hidden big families and disappeared from the wealth list.

Even H·E Investment Company has disappeared from the top [-] market capitalization list, because H·E Investment Company itself is not listed, and some investment projects are not transparent, so it is very difficult to count them.

Today's H·E Investment Company has become as mysterious an investment bank as Vanguard and BlackRock in the eyes of many people.

"Mr. Pulitzer is too polite. It's very common to be suspicious of unfamiliar numbers. I don't need to apologize. In fact, I regretted it after I made the call. Because of the time difference, I didn't notice that the beautiful country was not yet dawn, hahaha... ..."

Since the other party was polite, He Xia would not be arrogant.

"Haha, in fact, I was already awake at that time, but I didn't pay attention to the phone. Well, Mr. He must have called to talk about Shiyuan Group, right?"

Thomas is very direct, and everyone is too busy to chat.

He Xia likes this straight-to-the-topic way of talking, happy!
"That's right, I have a good personal relationship with the Zhou family of the Shiyuan Group. It's really embarrassing to see my friend's group fall into the quagmire and remain indifferent."

There was helplessness in He Xia's words, and it didn't mean to give in at all. It meant, if you don't stop, I will accompany you to the end.

Thomas Pulitzer could naturally hear the strength in He Xia's words, he frowned slightly and said: "Mr. I brought it up, but I want to make a statement..."

"The plan this time is purely from a business perspective, not related to any personal emotional matters, and does not involve any emotional components. Please do not misunderstand."

In any case, Thomas did not want to have a bad relationship with H·E Investment Company.

"I know, Mr. Pulitzer, I think everyone knows the truth about business and business... I also know that you have put a lot of effort and money into this plan. Believe me, stop the plan against Shiyuan Group, you You will get even richer rewards!"

He Xia said in a very seductive tone.

People are often attracted by things that are counterintuitive, even billionaires are no exception. Thomas Pulitzer did not refute after hearing He Xia's obviously deceptive words. He pondered for a moment and asked, "What are these words?" How to say?"

"Before talking about this, Mr. Pulitzer, I would like to know a little bit about why you invited Marriott, Lotte and InterContinental to join the plan."

In order not to arouse the other party's suspicion, He Xia specially brought Marriott and InterContinental. In fact, he only wanted to know the relationship between Excelle and Lotte Group.

After hearing the words, Thomas thought about it for a while, and then explained the general reasons. The details are very complicated and involve many aspects, but the summary is very simple.

It is nothing more than that the competition among several companies is relatively peaceful, and the advantages of cooperation outweigh the disadvantages.

"According to what you said, the Lotte Group is not qualified to participate in this matter at all. Why did you choose Lotte?"

Both Marriott and InterContinental are tens of billions in size, and a small Lotte sandwiched between them is very incongruous. There is a sense of sight of the three strongest kings with a little silver.

"Haha, originally I planned to invite Bangziguo Jiangnan Hotel Group together, but it happened to be a cooperation with Lepuxin Group. Mr. Li Xihuan accidentally learned about the Shiyuan Group's plan, so he recommended himself to join."

"Lotte Group itself is indeed not qualified, but the Lepusin Group behind it has strong capital and is fully capable of taking the risks of this plan. In addition, Lotte Group's expectations are only the Bangzi Country market and the North American market, and there is little conflict of interest between them. .”

Thomas said patiently.

Hyatt and Marriott are both local hotel groups in the beautiful country. They have been operating in the North American market for many years. They use this opportunity to open up Asia and strengthen competition in the Middle East and Australia, so they have low expectations for North America.

He Xia nodded after listening to Thomas's words. He thought that it would be easy to deal with purely business cooperation. He was worried that there would be ambiguous personal relationships, just like the one between him and the Zhou family, which would be more difficult.

Pure commercial cooperation only needs to consider interests, as long as there are more suitable interests, the alliance will fall apart!

"To be honest, Mr. Pulitzer, I have already contacted Mr. Wilson of InterContinental. At the same time, I plan to directly purchase 60.00% of the shares of Shiyuan Group. If Marriott Group is added, does this alliance feel very familiar? "

"InterContinental, Marriott, plus me and... Shiyuan Group?"

Thomas frowned, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, and within three seconds, he was suddenly taken aback.

It is still the four alliances, but the original Lotte has been replaced by Shiyuan. Having said that, Thomas naturally understands what He Xia is thinking, but he is not sure, so he asks: "Mr. Have a plan for the next step?"

"Hahaha, that's right, Mr. Pulitzer, your plan is perfect, but if you can change the implementation object from Shiyuan Group to Lotte Group, it will be even more perfect, isn't it?"

He Xia bluntly clarified the meaning.

hiss……

Thomas couldn't help taking a deep breath, he thought of He Xia's idea, but this idea surprised him.

"Mr. He, first of all, I need to say something. The plan for Shiyuan Group has been planned for more than a year. If the goal is temporarily changed, it will be inappropriate in many aspects, and it will not work at all. At least... it needs to be restarted." deploy."

People often compare shopping malls to battlefields, but real commercial sniping is much slower than battlefields. On the battlefield, a war may be ended with only one precise shot, but commercial wars cannot be so fast.

The larger the sniping operation, the more troublesome it is!
He Xia grinned slightly after listening to Thomas' words. Judging from the tone of the other party, not only did he not refuse, but he was also a little emotional, and that was enough!

Switching from Lepusin to H·E Investment Company, such an alliance will be stronger and more secure, but some immediate difficulties need to be overcome.

"I believe that before this, Mr. Pulitzer's Excelle Group, InterContinental or Marriott have already paid a lot of money. If Mr. Pulitzer is interested in the new plan, I am willing to spend [-] million US dollars to support it. The new plan is not counted in the weighting of benefit division."

"cough……"

After hearing He Xia's words, Thomas immediately coughed.

Three hundred million US dollars may not seem like much in front of a group with a market value of tens of billions of dollars, but this is cash, cash that can be spent all over the world!

Excelle Group's working capital reserve is only this amount, if all the brains are used, the whole group will be shut down immediately, but H·E Investment Group acquires the shares of Shiyuan Group, and at the same time spends funds to plan strategies, and the capital is not insignificant!
Thomas's brain was running fast, and he quickly came up with an answer. The funds used by the four of them to deal with Shiyuan Group in the early stage were only [-] million US dollars, which has already caused Shiyuan Group to complain.

If more funds are invested, I believe it will not be too difficult to apply the method of dealing with Shiyuan Group to Lotte Group!

Even with the backing of Lepuxin Group, it won't work, because the four alliances here are not vegetarian.

The only thing to worry about is...

"Mr. He, your suggestion is worth considering, but there is one problem that needs to be resolved, that is, the shareholders of Lotte Group overlap with our group."

At the beginning, he chose to deal with Shiyuan Group because the majority of Shiyuan's shares were in the hands of Zhou Yuanmin, and 20.00% were held by two little-known small institutions, so there was no pressure to deal with it.

The situation of Lotte Group is different, with more dispersed ownership and large institutional holdings.

"How?" He Xia asked.

Thomas understood the situation very well, and immediately said: "Blackstone Group."

"Just one family? Just say hello in advance and let him make a choice!" He Xia said lightly.

He really didn't expect that there are world-class investment banks willing to hold shares in such a small size of Lotte Group. According to his thinking, it is enough for Lepuxin Group to invest behind it.

If it is BlackRock or Pioneer Pioneer, He Xia will still be afraid, because the capital scale of those two companies is too terrifying, but it is not difficult to replace it with the Blackstone Group, which is barely [-] billion.

Seeing He Xia's casual attitude, Thomas couldn't help but think about it. Blackstone Group has shares in Excelle Group and Marriott Group, so no matter how they choose, they will not be on the side of Lotte.

If you prepare in advance, you may be able to take advantage of this opportunity to make a small profit. For those investment banks, there is no such thing as holding shares for a long time and having feelings, all of which are ruthless selling!

"Mr. Pulitzer, can you give me a definite answer? I can tell the other companies as well."

Seeing that Thomas hesitated and didn't make a statement, He Xia asked a question.

"If there are no problems with the other companies, then I have no problem, but we still need to sit down and talk about the details."

Thomas didn't insist, all his starting point was to grow his own group, making more money was the goal!
