Chapter 1034 Backstab
Du Fei looked at the small box on the coffee table and chuckled, "Mr. Grant, what you mean doesn't seem very interesting~"
What is the concept of the textile group's project? It will cost hundreds of millions of dollars when completed.
What does it mean to count this little gold bar? I'm sending beggars away~
A small box of gold bars looks intimidating, but in fact it only costs more than 10,000 U.S. dollars.
For ordinary people, it is considered a huge sum of money, but for Du Fei...hehe~
Grant narrowed his eyes under his glasses and said hehe, "Mr. Du Fei, you misunderstood. This is just a meeting gift for you. I will open a special account for you later. You can choose any bank in Hong Kong or Switzerland." As long as you are willing to cooperate, one million dollars will be deposited into the account immediately.”
"One million~" Du Fei smiled half-heartedly, "Your Excellency is really generous."
There are not many millionaires in this era, even in America.
Grant smiled and said, "Of course, you deserve this."
Du Fei said noncommittally, "Tell me what you want."
Grant straightened his back slightly and said, "We need to occupy a certain amount of equity in the future textile group..."
Du Fei was not busy talking and listened carefully to what Grant said.
He had a lot of demands, but in Du Fei's opinion, most of them were just smoke and mirrors, just to pay the exorbitant price on the spot.
The real purpose is to take shares.
Du Fei could even imagine how the media would publicize it once they succeeded.
When he finished speaking, Du Fei did not refuse immediately, but still smiled and said, "Mr. Will, this is no small matter. Why do you think I have this ability?"
Grant said, "Mr. Du, we know your background very well. You have great influence on your father-in-law. As long as..."
This time Du Fei interrupted, "Sorry, Mr. Will, if this is the case, I'm afraid one million...is not enough."
Grant was stunned for a moment.
In fact, before he said this, he anticipated Du Fei's many reactions.
But I didn't expect this.
Dufy neither got angry nor emphasized his faith, but bluntly stated that one million dollars was not enough.
Grant was overjoyed.
In his opinion, he is not afraid that you will ask for a high price, but he is afraid that you will not ask.
For those who open a bank, the difference between one million and ten million is not big. Anyway, it is other people's money.
Grant had a knowing expression on his face, "I understand, I understand~ Mr. Du, don't worry, this million is yours. If you can persuade your father-in-law, that's another price..."
Grant didn't stay long, and he and Du Fei were out of the door in less than half an hour.
In front of the door, there was a car with a sign from the Swiss Museum of History parked.
When Bush came over to ride a bicycle before, it was just his personality.
People's hobbies don't mean they don't have cars.
Grant didn't like the simple, time-consuming and labor-intensive means of transport.
Du Fei stood on the steps, waved to Grant in the car window, and watched the car drive away.
Turning around and returning to the courtyard, he first went to Zhang Wenzhong's house and shouted, "Old Zhang, ask Lao Zheng to come with us."
Zhang Wenzhong responded immediately.
After a while, he called Zheng Qingchun and came to Du Fei's office.
The two of them were startled as soon as they came in.
I saw twenty gold bars neatly stacked on the coffee table.
"Manager, this..." Zhang Wenzhong was a little at a loss. Although he had some knowledge, it was the first time he saw so many gold bars.
Zheng Qingchun next to him didn't react at all. His job was accounting, he was capable at the deputy director level, and he had never seen anything.
Twenty gold bars wasn't enough to make him fuss.
Du Fei said to Zheng Qingchun, "This is what the foreigner just sent me. Lao Zheng, please put it into the company's account. Lao Zhang, you can be a witness."
Zheng Qingchun nodded and said, "It's a courtesy gift, okay?"
Du Fei said, "You are an expert, so you can figure out what is best for you."
Zheng Qingchun responded, but did not dare to neglect.
Du Fei gave him this right, and he had to bear certain responsibilities.
Zheng Qingchun needs to think carefully.
Du Fei, on the other hand, didn't take it too seriously. After they left, he immediately called Zhu's father to report the situation.
After hearing what he said, there was no answer on the phone for a long time.
Father Zhu had not expected this situation to happen before.
After a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Wait a minute, you want to meet with Bush?"
Du Fei responded "Yes" and explained, "Dad, Grant came to me to explain that they have a problem of their own, and their differences are so great that they can no longer be reconciled."
Dad Zhu agreed with Du Fei's judgment, but asked, "Why choose Bush?"
Du Fei was slightly speechless.
You can't tell Dad Zhu directly that Bush is the future commander-in-chief~
As for other excuses, it's okay to use Hu Nong Hu Nong others, but forget it if you use Hu Nong Zhu's dad.
In the end, Du Fei could only hold back two words: "Feeling~"
Dad Zhu was silent for a moment, only said "I know" and hung up the phone.
Du Fei also hung up the phone, not surprised by the result.
In fact, this is Dad Zhu's attitude towards the staff below most of the time.
Let you go and do whatever you want, don't pay attention to the process, only focus on the results.
If one thing
The planning is very clever and the execution is very hard, but it is meaningless without good results.
As a superior leader, Dad Zhu will not interfere too much and does not have the energy.
Just now I asked, ‘Why did you choose Bush?’ This was the biggest reminder.
It’s also a question that hits home.
If Du Fei didn't do the questions by looking at the answers, the most difficult part of the whole thing, and the key to success or failure, would be who to choose.
Afternoon, 2:50.
Du Fei rode his motorcycle to the place where he had tea with Bush last time.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw the very distinctive 28 bicycle.
Bicycles these days have many uses, such as carrying people and goods, long and short distances, and almost no one would remove the rear rack.
Especially for a large bicycle like 28, removing the rear rack is equivalent to wasting more than half of its functions.
Only Bush, who treats it as a toy, would do this.
Parked the motorcycle and went upstairs.
Sure enough, Bush sat by the window like last time, looking over the treetops at the rippling water of the North Sea.
"George~" Du Fei walked over and sat down opposite.
They were old acquaintances, and they were not as polite as they were at the beginning when they met.
After drinking tea and eating, Du Fei said, "George, what's going on? What's the situation with Mr. Will? It seems that he is not very friendly to your family..."
Bush's face was a little gloomy.
Du Fei smiled secretly in his heart. He didn't even need to exaggerate. It was enough to just put out Grant's plan.
According to Grant's request, he hoped to own a part of the shares in the new textile group.
Of course, these shares would not reflect the existence of America.
You can set up an investment bank in a friendly country of China, and then use the name of this investment bank to hold shares in the textile group.
This method seems good at first glance.
But it greatly damaged the interests of the Bush family.
As the initial leader, the Bush family used their energy to promote this matter. They didn't see the profit at all, but the political influence it brought to the family.
If Du Fei's plan is followed, the two sides will cooperate secretly, the raw materials and market will be American, and the factories and workers will grow flowers.
In order to coordinate, the Bush family will play an indispensable role.
If Grant's plan is followed, the situation of direct shareholding will change completely.
Since the shares have been acquired, it is natural to send management personnel.
It is equivalent to breaking the barriers between the two sides through the medium of the textile group.
It greatly weakens the role of the Bush family as a bridge.
etc.
So the fundamental interests of the Bush family were undermined.
How could Bush not be angry? He was very well-mannered for not cursing immediately.
More importantly, Grant Will also brought relatives with them, which was a kind of backstab.
Logically, Grant would never dare to do this.
Unless there was another huge force behind him that drove him to ignore the Bush family's counterattack.
Thinking of this, Bush's face became more gloomy.
Compared with the domestic power struggles, there was no need to be so fussy about the flower planting side.
Because for the Bush family, cooperating with the flower planting to form a textile group would be beneficial no matter what.
The difference was just a matter of how much benefit there was.
But other powerful families in their country were secretly plotting through Grant, and they could never turn a blind eye.
In this matter, if the Bush family gave in, they would be regarded as weak and bullied by some people.
Bush took a deep breath and said sincerely, "Du, on behalf of the Bush family, thank you my friend."
This was exactly the effect Du Fei wanted.
Although the friendship of the guests is as unreliable as the weather forecast, at least under the same conditions, friendship will play a decisive role.
Du Fei smiled gently, "George, we are friends. As I said, I only trust you on the other side of the ocean."
A few minutes later, Du Fei stood in front of the teahouse and watched Bush ride away on his 28-inch bicycle.
He secretly thought that the matter of the textile group should soon be clear.
Either the Bush family gave up directly and went all out to deal with domestic opponents.
Or they took the initiative and quickly promoted the fait accompli according to the plan of maximizing the family's interests.
In any case, there will be results soon.
Du Fei thought silently in his heart and turned to ride his motorcycle.
It went straight away with a trail of black smoke.
In the next few days, the situation was exactly as Du Fei thought.
Bush's actions were very fast, and he deserved to be a figure who could become the general in the future.
Just two days later, Grant Will returned home in disgrace and never appeared in front of Du Fei again.
On the fourth day, Bush found Du Fei again and finalized the plan directly.
Roughly in accordance with the charter proposed by Du Fei before, the two sides cooperated to establish the industrial chain of the textile and clothing group.
In the first phase, the US side invested more than 10 million US dollars and was responsible for purchasing the most advanced textile machines and sewing machines.
The Chinese side was responsible for land allocation, factory construction, worker recruitment...
It is expected that in the first half of 1970, three branch factories will be built in the Beijing-Tianjin area, with a total number of employees exceeding 35,000.
