Chapter 256 New York in November

"The part of the Brooklyn Nets team is very cheap. Even if the premium is included, 800-900 million US dollars should be enough. Mikhail is in a hurry to cash out. He should not be too entangled in the team's transaction amount. On the contrary, Buck Lai Center is more troublesome, we have to prepare at least 1.2-1.5 billion US dollars."

Conrad settled accounts with Yang Cheng by the fountain, that is to say, if they want to win all the shares of Brooklyn Nets and Barclays Center, Yang Cheng and Conrad must prepare at least 2 billion to 2.4 billion US dollars .

Yang Cheng nodded thoughtfully. He was calculating in his mind how much he could get from Tesla stock. With the four-dimensional working capital, it should be no problem to make up 1 billion. The final purchase price depends on him. How much equity can you get.

"Uncle Conrad, how much money are you going to spend?" Yang Cheng blinked, and tentatively raised the corner of his mouth.

"Beforehand, I don't have time to participate in management, so I don't mind if you take the controlling stake." Conrad's focus will always be on Koch Industries, so it is reasonable to give up the controlling stake. Yang Cheng has no doubts.

"Then send someone to discuss it first, and finally invest in the ratio of 51% to 49%." Yang Cheng gritted his teeth and said, squeeze out a little more money now to avoid trouble in the future. Can also take the lead.

"Yes, but you have to hurry up. After taking down the Barclays Center, we have a reason to let Yuanshan join the Atlantic Garden Project." Conrad agreed to the equity distribution plan very simply.

At this time, the butler came to inform the two that their lunch was ready, and they were invited to eat. On the way to the restaurant, Yang Cheng couldn't hold back his doubts and asked, "Uncle Conrad, help Yuan Shan get such a big benefit , what good are you personally or the Koch family? Pie in the sky will never happen."

Conrad Zhizhu's expression was holding his hands, he stopped squeezing toothpaste, and said his overall plan in one breath, "Of course, don't forget what Koch Industries does, decorative building materials, road asphalt, underground pipeline laying, power supply, Natural gas transmission, as well as gas stations, these projects must be handed over to Koch Industries. In fact, this is also an exploration. If this cooperation can be successfully completed, Koch Industries and Yuanshan Capital will jointly develop large-scale In the comprehensive living park, the two companies have joined forces to help each other and jointly resist the invasion of foreign enemies."

When Yang Cheng was shocked by Conrad's ambition, alarm bells rang in his heart. He stood still and stared at Conrad with serious eyes, and said with a sneer, "I'm afraid you still have the idea of ​​annexing the distant mountains?"

He is not talking nonsense. According to Conrad, there are countless real estate developers in the United States who can do this kind of home-to-home cooperation. Why bother to find Yuanshan Capital?

Of course, Yuanshan's own advantages are obvious. For example, it has a large number of hardworking Chinese labor resources. While ensuring the quality of construction, the labor cost of developing real estate is the lowest in the United States, but the efficiency is the highest. Cooperation with Yuanshan has greater profit margins. This is not the only reason why Conrad chose Yuanshan.

Only Yang Cheng's seemingly unfounded worrying thoughts are in line with the reality that Koch Industries sent most of the benefits in the early stage! Because once Yuanshan is annexed, Koch Industries will have a great possibility to form an ecological chain, open up the upstream and downstream links from energy development to people's livelihood applications, and have nothing to ask for from the outside world, and can play as they want in their own independent kingdom. There is no room for others to intervene. This is the biggest ambition of Koch Industries or the Koch family.

Conrad did not try to deny it as expected, but said frankly, "I will not deny that I have this idea, but Yuanshan has the right to choose, and cooperation is inherently risky. If there is a problem with Yuanshan Capital itself, even the company will not be able to keep it. You deserve the end of being annexed, and vice versa, if Yuanshan Capital keeps moving forward from beginning to end, we will have no choice but to annex, right?"

Yang Cheng snorted coldly and turned his head away. He had to admit that Conrad's words hit the point. You have to be hard when you strike an iron, and you don't need to raise your whip. Yuan Shan killed himself.

Even if it is eaten by others in the end, it is its own fault, and it cannot be blamed on others.

But having said that, Yang Cheng still felt aggrieved by her own weakness, so that she didn't even have the mood to eat, and she didn't even bother to stay in Palm Beach to have fun. After calling Xiao Lizi and David to say goodbye, Urgent flight back to New York, this shows the benefits of having a private jet, just leave.

After flying for more than 3 hours and returning to New York after nearly a month, Yang Cheng was somewhat uncomfortable. The warm sunshine in California made Yang Cheng have a very strong feeling for low temperature.

The temperature in New York today is only about 6 degrees. The harsh sea breeze blowing from the Atlantic directly pierced through his clothes and invaded his body. Yang Cheng couldn't help shivering as soon as he got off the plane.

Well, I used a satellite phone to greet my family on the plane in advance. The driver of the family was waiting in the hangar in his Maybach Zeppelin. After getting off the gangway, he got into the car and was instantly enveloped by the warm air. He said comfortably ,"Comfortable."

"Go to the LV flagship store." Andrew was sent by Yang Cheng to South Korea to perform a mission, and now the driver was replaced by another bodyguard. Hansen still sat in the co-pilot unchanged for thousands of years, and Hawkeye stared at the front and back without letting up. about.

. . . . . .

The LV New York flagship store at No. 1 57th Street in Manhattan, probably because of the gloomy weather, all the lighting effects inside and outside the flagship store are turned on. Under the frosted frosted glass, the designer specially uses common Indian spices such as glitter, turmeric, etc. The spice color makes the LV logo look more lively.

After getting off the car, Yang Cheng stood at the door for a while. He still remembered the scene when he came here on the first day after his rebirth. Skirts and bare calves, the noble lady walked in and out of the store arm in arm, couldn't help laughing and shaking her head, thinking, "Women, you really need grace and not warmth."

He was terribly cold, and within a minute of emotion, his hands and feet became icy cold in the wind. He took a breath, quickly turned up his collar, and walked into the store with long, strong legs.

As soon as you enter the door, you will be greeted by the familiar double-storey foyer, decorated with caramel-colored plates and stones, bright rust-orange carpets and red flowers, so that every customer who enters the store seems to have opened an incredible exotic land Traveling, the outer glass window displays LV vintage suitcases and brass chandeliers designed by Italian designers, and the stairs in the middle lead directly to all floors in the store.

The shopping guides carefully trained by LV are equipped with iPads and iPhones. They greet customers one by one in the order they enter the store, and send warm greetings. They are not in a hurry to sell products to you. In fact, LV has never bothered to sell products. If you can’t afford it, it doesn’t matter. If you can’t afford it now, it doesn’t mean you won’t be able to afford it in the future. The shopping guide will politely show you around the flagship store, which is to popularize the brand culture. One day you will have enough money in your pocket. , will naturally regard LV as the first choice for shopping.

The customized floor-to-ceiling large screen in the store shows customers the series of products of the season. When renovating the store, the designer tried to avoid using too many high-tech products, because it takes a year from the refurbishment design to the official operation of the store, and the high-tech products are constantly changing. It will be eliminated at any time, and only Louis Vuitton's classic products will never go out of style.

Therefore, every customer who enters the store will not be deterred by the seemingly sci-fi technological products, but because of the thoughtful design of the designer, there is a feeling of visiting the cloakroom at home.

Yang Cheng was not in a hurry to go upstairs, but walked around the store casually with the shopping guide. The first floor sold women's leather goods, accessories, watches and high-end jewelry, and the mezzanine on the first and second floors sold men's leather goods and travel products. Personalization studio and brand new watch counter.

He clicked on a certain product while walking, and asked the shopping guide to record it in the shopping cart of the IPAD. This is what he wants to buy. The bags and jewelry are given to the women he has had sex with, and the watch is to fill him. The watch cabinet in Jason Manor, of course, the LV watches are not comparable to those centuries-old Swiss brands, but the superior design is novel and in line with the appetite of young people. It looks good in the cabinet, but I don't usually wear it.

The men's wear area on the second floor and the women's wear area on the third floor, Yang Cheng spent just over half an hour shopping around, without blinking a few times, and directly brushed off nearly 1 million US dollars. Don't feel exaggerated, the price alone is as high as For $50,000, he bought 7 of the limited-edition STEAMER handbags that other people need to pre-order, plus various accessories such as wallets, card holders, and jewelry. 1 million is really not much.

It may be that when the new little beauty shopping guide handed over the bill to Yang Cheng for signing, her eyes were about to water. From the first day of work, the manager had popularized several legends of Fifth Avenue to her, and Yang Cheng was naturally on the list. Among them, and it is the first name of the LV flagship store, there is no way, who let Yang Cheng and his mother sit on the fourth floor, but when she saw this kind of shopping method that is so annoying that people don't pay for her life, she still felt guilty for the first time. It was wet for a while, wishing that she herself was the owner of those limited bags.

On the contrary, after signing the bill, Yang Cheng asked the staff to pack the gifts and send them to addresses in different countries, and complained unhappily, "The donkey brand is indeed an entry-level luxury, far from Hermès. .” I don’t know if Liu Yun’s ears will be ripped off when he hears this.

The fourth floor is the high-end VIP salon and customer service area. Walking up the stairs, the on-duty designer of LV is helping a lady cut an evening dress. Hearing the footsteps, he turned his head and saw that it was Yang Cheng, so he didn't come up. Greeting, just nodded and smiled, and continued to be busy with the work at hand.

Just as he was about to go to the office to find his mother, a male employee walking hurriedly in high heels with an anxious expression walked out of the corridor. Yang Cheng subconsciously stopped her and asked casually, "What's the rush? Is my mother in the office?"

The male employee was stunned for a moment, seeing that it was Yang Cheng, he suppressed his anger and replied with a wry smile, "Ms. Liu is in a fit of anger, let go quickly, I have to copy the documents, and if I am late, I will be scolded again."
