Chapter 153: A Billion Dollar Generosity
Greta had been a completely different person to him since that incident.
There is no longer any swearing towards him, and even more enthusiasm in bed, all kinds of crazy actions make Li Zitao happy.
For example, the newly developed 'throat and neck injection' tastes beyond words.
Just when Greta said to let him try the back door of Glen tonight, a call from New York came to the manor.
"Boss, the terms have been negotiated." After a phone call, Li Zitao flew directly to New York.
When parting, Greta was a little bit reluctant, but she didn't say much, she only wished him to take good care of himself, and announced domineeringly; "At least one week of every month will belong to me."
How could Li Zitao refuse such a request? After seeing him nodding, Greta's complexion also changed from cloudy to sunny.
"This is the terms of the agreement that was finally reached." Waldorf Astoria Hotel, Li Zitao met Mahathir and Sanil.
The spirits of the two are very good, with a little excitement.
Being able to finalize the cooperation with the European financial giant Rothschild, personally presided over the negotiation, and reached the final terms, this is a golden resume!
The pleasure and sense of accomplishment of letting the giant crocodile be deflated cannot be measured by money.
Besides...
"Very good, you have worked hard this time, I believe you will be satisfied with your dividends years ago!" Li Zitao nodded in satisfaction.
Being able to gain fame and money that makes people feel at ease at the same time is very flattering...
Li Zitao could understand the excitement of his subordinates, even he couldn't hide his excitement at this meeting.
In the new investment bank, Rothschild invested as much as US$600 million, and Li Zitao also contributed US$400 million, accounting for 45% of the shares.
Just this one, he has 50 million more assets for nothing.
On the board of directors, Li Zitao holds 55% of the voting rights, and the CEO of the investment bank will be appointed by him personally.
For the 5 percent reward pool, Li Zitao contributed 2 percent and Rothschild contributed 3 percent.
In addition, on the issue of listing financing and increasing partners, both parties made compromises.
Adding a new partner is fine, but it needs to be agreed by both parties and has made contributions to the investment bank.
Simply put, it is to isolate outsiders and promote partners internally.
"Hey, do you really think you can control the whole bank?" Li Zitao said with a sinister smile.
That afternoon, Li Zitao and Juliana secretly signed an agreement in the hotel. No one knew what they talked about except the negotiating teams of both parties.
The big boss of the hotel, Jonathan, personally ordered that this matter should not be mentioned to anyone outside. As for how long it can be kept secret, no one is sure.
"Charlie, has anyone ever told you that you're an asshole?" After finishing business, Li Zitao and Juliana were sitting in the room drinking afternoon tea.
"I will take this as your compliment to me." Li Zitao smiled politely.
"...you are really a qualified businessman." Juliana was speechless at his thick skin.
"Now let's talk about the name." Li Zitao changed the subject.
"Rothschild's name must be added." Juliana wanted to make the first shot in the United States, but Li Zitao disagreed.
"Did you forget those rumors?" Li Zitao reminded.
If Rothschild's name was directly used, it would be the same as telling Morgan face to face, "Little Morgan, Rothschild and I are here to slap your face, hurry up and stretch your face."
"That's just a funny rumor, no one will believe it." Juliana was a little anxious when she mentioned this matter.
If they once had Rockefeller and Morgan, would they need to look at Li Zitao's face here?
"It's a pity that you have no excuse. As long as Rockefeller and Morgan remain silent, you will be shameless capitalists in the hearts of the American people."
"Isn't Morgan shameless?"
"Sorry, although I don't want to say this, but I have to regret to tell you that Morgan is the pride of the United States, not a shame."
"..." Damn xenophobia.
It never occurred to Juliana at this moment that the most exclusive in the world, except for her own citizens, is her hometown, the fading empire on which the sun never sets.
"I think it will take some time for people to reverse this perception, until our funds are laid in place,
Then people suddenly realize that all this was done for them by the Rothschilds, that you saved their families, careers and lives, think about it..."
Li Zitao is becoming more and more good at drawing pancakes. The pancakes are fragrant and round, with chopped green onions sprinkled on top, and a layer of miso sauce, full of temptation.
"Okay! I agree." Juliana nodded in agreement.
"Charlie, in order to get everything on the right track as soon as possible, the family will send 200 experienced bank staff from various places to assist us."
Before Li Zitao had time to be proud, he was hit by Juliana's backhand with stares in his eyes, and he knew he couldn't escape this disaster.
"I agree." Nodding helplessly, Li Zitao had no reason to refuse.
If people are transferred from him, then the think tank is the only choice, but for an investment bank, it is not cost-effective to break up the think tank team that has just finished running in.
If external recruitment is required, Juliana will definitely block it from all aspects.
"Is there no outsider for the elite of the Rothschild family to rest assured?" Can Li Zitao say 'yes'? They are now partners.
If that scene really happened, the honeymoon period hadn't even started, and they would have drawn their swords to face each other.
However, for this matter, he also has corresponding preparations in his heart. After integrating the family assets, Jonathan is focusing on the hotel industry and shipyards.
But in Li Zitao's opinion, it is really a bit overkill, "How can a big guy who puts on a show of seizing power be reduced to a group performer!"
"Boss, Mr. Jonathan is here." After Julianna left triumphantly, Ava knocked on the door.
"Ha, Charlie, is there any good business to take care of me?" The high-spirited Jonathan walked in.
"Of course, everyone knows that I take care of my friends the most." Li Zitao warmly stepped forward to give him a hug.
After the two parties sat down, Li Zitao talked about the deal between him and the Rothschild family.
"This is really a big deal." Jonathan said with twinkling eyes.
"Anyway, it is also a giant crocodile lurking in the lake. Even if it is a little old and is gradually declining, not everyone can touch it."
Li Zitao believes that he will not refuse his proposal, the Astor family has been silent for too long.
What was once a pillar industry is no longer enough to bring them back to their heyday.
If he wants to develop, Jonathan must look elsewhere. He originally planned to get involved in shipping, but now it seems that he has a better choice.
"New partner, I like this plan." Within 5 minutes of thinking, Jonathan readily agreed to Li Zitao's plan to become the CEO of the new investment bank.
"I will fight for 3% of the shares for you, and you will get what you want in the future." Li Zitao promised him.
"I'm looking forward to it, by the way, what's it called?" Up to now, he still doesn't know the name of the company he is about to take up.
"Wells Fargo Bank!" Li Zitao tapped his fingers on the table and said meaningfully.
