Chapter 1021 Who Owns the 10% Ownership?

"What about the price?" Yang Cheng hit the point directly.

"400 million~" Mansur was also unambiguous.

Yang Cheng shook his head with a playful expression, "No, no, dear Sheikh, if it was 10 years ago, I would very much like to sign a contract worth 400 million US dollars, but now it will be 2016 , The Chrysler Building is dilapidated, with a vacancy rate of more than 20%, far exceeding the Manhattan average of 11%, you can't sell this pile of broken heads as treasures.

Don't forget that after I take over, I will spend a lot of money to renovate, from electricity to structure, all need a lot of money. Referring to the Empire State Building, this figure is at least 500 million US dollars. This is after I used my own team to make a 50% discount Price, so Mansour, give me a friendly price, 100 million, what do you think of this price? "

Mansur shook his head speechlessly, "By Allah, you greedy guy, can I say that I hate doing business with you? 100 million? You might as well let me give it away!"

Yang Cheng laughed, "come on my friend, we are negotiating a business worth 9 figures, even for a mere 1 million US dollars, I will not give up an inch of land, please forgive me, I will send you some beauties afterwards."

"You bastard, the most beautiful woman in the world is not worth 300 million dollars," Mansour yelled.

Yang Cheng was extremely calm, "Calm down Xie He, we are talking about business, whether the business is concluded or not, it will not affect our friendship."

Mansur shook his head frantically, "100 million is too cheap. That is the Chrysler Building. It has an extremely glorious history and is the pride of all Americans. You cannot insult it with this price."

Yang Cheng slandered inwardly, "Does the glory in the hearts of Americans have anything to do with you, an Arab?"

But he said, "Yes, I very much agree with your point of view. The Chrysler Building is a flag on the North American continent, so I am willing to add $10 million, $110 million, no more for this flag."

Mansur stared at Yang Cheng dumbfounded, as if he had never seen such a business discussion, shameless is not enough to describe Yang Cheng at this time.

"Dude, if it weren't for the honor of the Abu Dhabi consortium, I really want to tell the world that I'm not selling the Chrysler Building!"

Yang Cheng spread his hands, "Obviously you can't. The reason why the Abu Dhabi consortium is great lies in its reputation. You can't damage your reputation for a few hundred million dollars."

Mansur covered his head, "My dear Allah, you said hundreds of millions of dollars are the same as dozens of dollars."

"For the Abu Dhabi consortium with 800 billion assets, there is really no difference between a few hundred million and a few tens of dollars." Yang Cheng flattered Mansour calmly, but made Mansour feel comfortable , he found the long-lost "respect" from Yang Cheng. God knows why the Western society hates Arabs so much, just like the RB people in the 80s and 90s.

"OK, 300 million U.S. dollars, it can't be less, otherwise I won't be able to explain to the investment committee guys." Mansur gave in, and he started to cut the price. Yang Cheng was overjoyed. He didn't expect his flattery to be so effective. A flattering drop of 100 million, the value of this deal.

So he took the opportunity to flatter him, "Are you kidding? Sheikh, you are the third in line to the throne. You own the First Gulf Bank and the International Petroleum Investment Group.

How dare those elders of the consortium who don't care about the world and only know how to enjoy it with money dare to control you? They don't dare to turn against you just because of a few hundred million. "

These beautiful words sound great, but it's a pity that Yang Cheng's abacus didn't work this time, and Mansour didn't fall for it, "Jason, this is different, the Abu Dhabi consortium is not my own business, at least my brother doesn't allow me Such nonsense."

His older brother is Khalifa, the current President of the United Arab Emirates.

At this time, there was a burst of crazy cheers at Manchester City's home court, like a boulder fell into a volcano, raising hot magma, and Manchester City scored a goal.

The conversation between the two was interrupted. At the same time, they cast their eyes on the TV screen in the box. On the TV is the replay of the goal just now. Aguero received a second pass from his teammate and grabbed a point in front of the goal. Now it is stoppage time in the first half At this stage, scoring a goal at this time is the most dangerous. It can be clearly felt that the momentum of the whole Liverpool team is tense. After fighting for 45 minutes, they lost at the last moment before the break. Can the players not be discouraged?

Mansour rushed out of the box, came to the stands and shouted at the stadium. Although Yang Cheng was depressed, he followed up politely, gave polite applause, and congratulated Mansour, "Congratulations to the Manchester City team. Goal first, but I'm sure Liverpool will fight back in the second half."

The noise at the scene was too loud, and Yang Cheng almost yelled for Mansur to hear. Hearing this, he said with a smile, "I am looking forward to the performances of the two teams in the second half. When the deadlock is broken, the game will be interesting and exciting, really. Wonderful."

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half. After the carnival, the fans rushed into the bathroom to prepare for the second half. Some fans went to replenish their energy. French fries and chicken nuggets were their favorites. .

Yang Cheng and Mansour, who returned to the box, also ordered some. In such an atmosphere, no one wants to cut steaks. Only junk food can match the frenzied atmosphere.

Mansur, who usually has many rules about eating and drinking, also ignored the nutritionist's dissuasion, drinking iced cola and eating cheese and fried food with Yang Cheng.

"By the way, why do you want to buy the Chrysler Building?" Halfway through eating, Mansur suddenly returned to the previous topic.

Yang Cheng shrugged, put down the half-eaten hamburger in his hand, took a sip of Coke, squinted his eyes and said contentedly, "It's not for the expansion of the headquarters, the current office building is not enough."

Mansur nodded. This reason is very legitimate and logical, "To be honest, from the perspective of a friend, I don't recommend you to buy the Chrysler Building."

Yang Cheng couldn't help guessing whether Mansur flinched because he suppressed the price too hard and didn't want to sell it to him.

After a moment of silence, he asked, "What's the reason?"

Mansur smiled wryly, "It's too old. It's not just a matter of disrepair. Its building structure, including the materials used, is coming to the end of its lifespan. After taking over, we invested tens of millions of dollars in maintenance. As a result, As you can see, customers who have expired their lease have moved out one after another, and there are more and more vacant floors. Coupled with the annual increase in land rent and the intervention of another small shareholder, I am really not optimistic about the future of the Chrysler Building. develop."

Yang Cheng frowned slightly, and said in surprise, "There is still a small shareholder? Didn't you get 100% equity back then?"

Mansur shook his head, "When we took over from a consortium in Atlanta, we found that the ownership of the building was divided into two parts, of which 10% belonged to a small local real estate company in New York. I can't remember the full name. The abbreviation is TS. We They've always called each other that.

After acquiring 90% of the ownership of the Atlanta consortium, we specially sent someone to contact TS to seek an acquisition. Unfortunately, the other party has no desire to negotiate at all. They only said that no matter who the other 90% of the ownership belongs to, their 10% will never be sold. .

After many efforts, it still ended in failure. It is precisely because of the intervention of the other party that we have not completely renovated the Chrysler Building, but only maintained it in a small area. "

Yang Cheng's brows furrowed deeper. He didn't think that Mansour would make up a reason to lie to him. It was untenable, but if it was true, the existence of this small shareholder was really troublesome. The other party could forcefully interfere with the Abu Dhabi consortium's renovation project. Decision-making can also interfere with itself.

This TS real estate agent, Yang Cheng, has never heard of it. Are the managers a bunch of idiots? Don't they know that the Chrysler Building is so dilapidated that it can be described as gold on the outside and ruins on the inside? Without renovations, their 10% ownership will be worthless.

Mansour stuffed thick French fries with a milkshake and said angrily, "I've never seen such an idiot businessman."

Mansur, who has always been an elegant gentleman, can swear, which shows how annoying the other party is.

Yang Cheng was puzzled, "Didn't you check it carefully?"

Mansur shook his head dejectedly, "Why didn't I check, but unfortunately I didn't find anything, this TS company is just an empty shell, except for the 10% ownership of the Chrysler Building, there is no other valuable asset under its name, it seems to be pure The company used to manage the 10% ownership, the registrants are just ordinary people, not worth mentioning.”

Yang Cheng was completely speechless, and she put down her plan to buy the bottom for the time being, and waited to go back and check it out, otherwise she might face the same problem as the Abu Dhabi consortium if she bought it rashly.

The intermission passed quickly, and after the start of the second half, as Yang Cheng said, Liverpool launched a crazy counterattack. The players already knew that the big boss was monitoring from the stands. It was a tacit agreement of the whole team not to lose in front of the boss. According to the rules, now they are 0-1 behind, and Manchester City is not the other big teams.

So, after kick-off in the second half, the fans of Manchester City found that their team failed to pass the half-time even once, and they were overwhelmed by the Red Army in their own half to practice offensive tactics. Regardless of the face of his teammates, he jumped up and roared after every saved save. I am not an octopus, so it is impossible to block every shot.

Sure enough, about 5 minutes after the start of the second half, Sterling, who had been arguing about a transfer, seized the opportunity to slip to the bottom line and send an inverted triangle second pass. Harry Kane followed up in the middle and shot angrily to win the ball. After kicking into the net, the Etihad Stadium was quiet for a while, only a few hundred Liverpool Expeditionary Forces were left to revel in a corner of the stands. Of course, Yang Cheng was indispensable here.

Yang Cheng almost jumped onto the railing outside the chairman's box to cheer, so that his skills almost missed him, otherwise he would have to make a fool of himself.

No matter how the goal was scored, the pressure immediately shifted to Manchester City. Mansour has high hopes for Manchester City. The Premier League title is a small goal, but the big goal is to win the Champions League. But if even domestic league opponents cannot be crushed, what is the point? Stand out in European competition? Manchester City is in a hurry~
