Chapter 1665 The Lion Opens Its Mouth
At this time, in the eyes of Roland Mars, Li Mu had become a bandit with a long knife, and he specialized in cutting flesh from people.
Just because of touching the porcelain of Muye Technology, Mars has been pressed on the ground and rubbed on the ground for so long. The loss of reputation is immeasurable. Now, Li Mu actually asked for 50 million US dollars. This loss can no longer be described as tragic.
But then again, Roland Mars himself knows very well that a fast-moving consumer goods giant like Mars is not short of money, and an Internet giant like Li Mu is even less short of money. And the money wasn't in Li Mu's own pocket, it seemed that Li Mu was really angry this time.
Roland Mars also knows that the best solution now is to be interesting, and quickly accept the so-called "funding gap" that Li Mu said, so that Li Mu can be satisfied and then solve the crisis.
However, when he thought that Li Mu would walk away with 50 million dollars, Roland Mars hesitated to make up his mind.
Seeing his anxious and troubled appearance, Li Mu smiled lightly, without waiting for him to answer, and then said, "Mr. Maas, to be honest, I have been busy with a lot of things recently, and I can't find time to take care of too many things. How much this time? I'm a little slack, I'm really sorry."
Roland Mars was about to say something polite, but Li Mu didn't give him a chance, so he continued to ask him, "By the way, Mr. Mars should know Prince William, right?"
"Of course." Roland Mars hurriedly said: "To be honest, our grandfather's generation was still very close to the British royal family. Mars' business started in the United Kingdom, and then gradually turned to the United States, so to us This generation, the relationship with the British royal family is somewhat diluted, although it is not as good as in the past, but it can be regarded as a family friend."
Li Mu nodded and said, "Some time ago, Prince William came to China and specially donated several pieces of the Windsor family's private collection to the China Palace Museum. These collections are almost all cultural relics in the history of China, but because of the more than 100 years of history They were exiled overseas due to the previous war, and with the help of the Windsor family, they have the opportunity to return to China."
Speaking of this, Li Mu sighed and continued: "This incident has touched me a lot. Our China has a long history and is one of the four ancient civilizations. The civilization and history have continued to the present, but because of the Due to special reasons, many of our precious historical relics are living overseas, and as a son and daughter of China, I have the responsibility and obligation to help those Chinese cultural relics lost overseas gradually return to China, are you right?"
Roland Maas nodded hurriedly, and said with great agreement: "Mr. Li is absolutely right. Helping more Chinese lost cultural relics to return to China is also helping Huaxia re-piece and improve history. This matter is of great significance."
Li Mu sighed: "Although the significance is great, it is more difficult to practice."
After speaking, Li Mu added: "You Westerners classify historical relics as works of art, and your art auction market is too mature. The auction prices of oriental cultural relics have long been driven up by those art profiteers to a very high level. Therefore, if you want to bring a large number of Chinese cultural relics back to China, the biggest constraint is lack of money. In Europe, a piece of Chinese porcelain may be sold for millions or even tens of millions of pounds. Think about it, if I want to sell the Eight Kingdoms How much did the coalition have to spend to recover everything that the coalition stole in Yanjing in one day? It may not be enough to sell Muye Technology!"
Roland Mars felt dizzy for a while, he heard what Li Mu meant, Li Mu was crying poor with himself!
Could it be that Li Mu's price tag hasn't finished yet?
He looked at Li Mu nervously,
He asked tentatively, "Mr. Li, what do you mean?"
Li Mu hurriedly said: "I don't mean anything else, don't think too much about it, I just treat you as a friend, so I can tell you about the troubles I've encountered so far, and you should listen to my complaints. It’s better to forget about it after listening to it.”
Roland Maas only hoped that Li Mu would quickly finish all the price tags, not to talk about one thing after another, so he couldn't help asking Li Mu: "Mr. Li, how big is your public welfare project? funding gap?"
Li Mu thought for a while, and said, "I think there is at least $5.6 billion missing."
Roland Maas said stunned: "Five or six billion dollars? My God, this amount is too scary."
When he said this, Roland Mars' liver was trembling secretly. Mars' current annual profit is only about one billion US dollars. If Li Muzhen wants to ask for five or six billion US dollars, then he can directly fight. I went back to the house, because even if I agreed, the board of directors couldn’t agree.
At this time, Li Mu waved his hands with a serious face and said: "Five or six billion dollars is just a drop in the bucket, and such a thing will benefit the future. It needs to mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized. So, I am now collecting donations for this project everywhere, so that the whole society can contribute to it.”
Roland Mars knew that it was inevitable that he would be slaughtered by Li Mu this time, so he asked directly, "Mr. Li, how much do you think Mars should do?"
Li Mu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Whatever, this matter is the business of our Huaxia sons and daughters. How can you let Mars help? It's inappropriate and shouldn't be."
With blood dripping from his heart, Roland Maas said: "Mr. Li, I still say that, I hope we can disregard the past and cooperate sincerely. Since everyone is a close partner in the future, let's talk about our hearts and support you. philanthropy, which is what it should be, what do you think?"
Roland Mars only wanted a final result now. He wanted to know how much money Mars paid so that Li Mu could be happy and stop all kinds of suppression of Mars.
Seeing that the timing was almost ready, Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Ma Si can have such a heart, that's really touching!"
After that, Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "Doing charity is actually a matter of one's heart. For the same thing, some people may donate a million, while others may only donate a dime. It is understandable to donate more and less. , if Mars really wants to contribute to this public welfare cause, the amount doesn't matter."
Roland Mars has a big head, Li Mu is obviously playing Tai Chi, and he doesn't say how much money he wants, he is forcing himself to speak!
However, how much is appropriate to say it yourself?
Just now, I had voluntarily promised a donation of 3321, the veterans would not die, adding up to a total of 50 million US dollars, but Li Mu still remained unmoved. If he asked for several million US dollars for the charity project of the lost cultural relics and returned to China, Li Mu would definitely not. will look at himself.
Wouldn't it be crazy to open tens of millions of dollars?
Seeing that Roland Mars didn't speak for a while, Li Mu looked at the time and said, "Well, Mr. Mars, if you haven't been involved in this public welfare plan for the time being, you can go back to understand and think about it carefully. I still have something to do. I won't be with you for the time being."
Seeing that Li Mu was about to leave, Roland Mars hurriedly grabbed him and blurted out, "Well, Mr. Li, we donated 20 million US dollars to the charity project that lost cultural relics, what do you think?"
Li Mu immediately smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Maas. Although 20 million US dollars is a drop in the bucket, it can solve many problems. I will let my assistant follow up with you on this matter."
Roland Mars scolded his mother in his heart. Is 20 million dollars just a drop in the bucket? How much do you want?
However, Roland Mars did not dare to show any dissatisfaction in front of Li Mu, so he could only hold back his anger and asked with a smile, "Mr. Li, look at our business..."
Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "Let my assistant contact you about this matter, I still have something to do..."
Roland Maas was nervous, Li Mu pushed everything to his assistant, his attitude was clearly playing football, so he couldn't help reminding: "Mr. Li, this is a donation of 70 million US dollars, talk to you about it. Will the assistant matchmaking meeting...would it be a little sloppy..."
Li Mu frowned and said, "Where is the hasty? For many projects with tens of millions of dollars, I will arrange for the other party to directly connect with my assistant. Is there any problem?"
"No...no problem." Roland Maas said hesitantly: "It's just that I don't think $70 million is a small project. If possible, I hope you can spare some time and let's have a good chat. chat."
Roland Mars said this, knowing that he was already confused. He knew that Li Mu had a big appetite, but he didn't expect that 70 million US dollars would not be enough. At this time, he didn't know what to do with himself. There are two problems to face:
First, do you still need to fulfill the donation commitment of 70 million US dollars? After all, Li Mu didn't make any promises to himself. If the 70 million US dollars was fulfilled by himself, it is very likely that he would be wasted.
Second, after going back, will he still be able to hold the position of the chairman of the board of directors, and will he be killed directly by the board of directors after one round of voting.
Li Mu smiled faintly at this time, and said to Roland Mars: "Mr. Mars, any company has a hierarchy of positions and businesses. When our internal board of directors met, I had already formulated my scope of responsibility. What I am responsible for is For projects with a maximum of 100 million US dollars and no cap, as long as the projects are less than 100 million US dollars, there will be a lot of responsible cadres under them, and they will be handed over to them, so you and me can rest assured.”
After that, Li Mu looked at his watch and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, I have to go to the meeting, and ask Ziwei to come over and talk to you."
"Don't, don't!" Roland Maas blurted out subconsciously: "Mr. Li, what do you think? We donate fifty million US dollars to the Foundation for the Return of Your Lost Cultural Relics, do you think it's okay?"
