Chapter 1938 Reluctant?

When leaving for New York, Zhou Ning finally had the opportunity to take people and fly with Feng Yiping.

This made her very excited, not only because Feng Yiping's Gulfstream is still the most advanced private jet among the domestic bigwigs, and the internal situation has never been exposed to the public before. This is the first time it is open to the crew.

Moreover, because she was traveling with Feng Yiping and was taking a private business jet, the inspection she faced at the airport could be relatively quick and dignified.

After 911, the United States has always been like a frightened bird in the airport area. The inspection they experienced when entering the customs yesterday was really hard to describe.

And the New York airport, like the Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, is a well-known airport that is extremely harsh on Chinese people. Many people have to undergo inspections that are almost like taking off all their clothes, and they are often locked up in a small dark room...

But on that private plane that exudes modern and advanced from inside to outside, but does not appear luxurious, Zhou Ning did not have many opportunities to talk to Feng Yiping.

Just before the plane took off, Feng Yiping, who had boarded the plane earlier than them, came over and chatted with them with a smile, reminding them to set their watches forward three hours. After that, he sat in his seat, first handling his own work, and then having a meeting with those foreigners.

Up to now, more than five hours have passed, and when the entire flight was about to end, he really didn't even move his buttocks..., it must be said that this richest man is really hard.

Oh, his kidneys should be pretty good, during this period, he also drank water, but he didn't even go to the bathroom...

The sky has begun to get dark, and even the afterglow of the sun in the sky has changed from gold to dark red, and finally, it is completely dark. Not long after, the plane drilled through the clouds and began to descend, and some lights on the ground could be seen.

The beautiful and gentle stewardess, who is also very temperamental, came over to tell them that now, everyone is over New York.

After flying for a few more minutes, you can see the large patches of lights in the sky ahead, like gold powder sprinkled on a piece of black paper, which are eye-catching.

After they actually flew over New York, they once again had a very intuitive understanding of how prosperous the city of New York is.

At this altitude of several thousand meters, New York at night looked like a volcanic eruption site under the plane, with rolling magma flowing from the center to all directions.

Perhaps the only difference is that the magma here is flowing in an orderly manner.

It's not that they haven't admired the night view of first-tier cities in China on night flights, but it's not that they are self-deprecating. In terms of the brilliance of lights, there is currently no city in China that can compare to New York.

…………

Kennedy International Airport.

While other colleagues were still curiously paying attention to this "Big Apple", Zhou Ning and his colleagues holding cameras were already paying close attention to Feng Yiping.

The man who looked quite elegant was naturally the highest person in charge of Feng Yiping's business in the United States. Zhou Ning had seen Cummins's photo on the Internet, but who was the Asian next to him who was suspected to be a Chinese?

And Feng Yiping seemed to know him?

And who were the large group of people of different ages behind Cummins?

That person was obviously not Feng Yiping's subordinate, otherwise Cummins would not have to introduce them to Feng Yiping one by one.

Cummins was also somewhat helpless. He had just brought people here, and soon, a large group of people gathered around him, including his former colleagues in Wall Street and friends he had known before.

There were also many banking tycoons he had heard of before, but had not had the honor to meet.

Another thing that surprised him was that the boss knew as many of these people as he did.

Listening to Feng Yiping chatting with some "old friends", he realized that the boss had met some of them when he first went to the United States, that is, when he was invited to give a speech in the United States after publishing "Blue Ocean Strategy", and he had contact with them later because of the company's listing.

At the end of last year, when the boss accompanied the leaders of their country's government on a visit, he also helped several of them make friends with some Chinese businessmen who later brought a lot of business.

However, seeing that the boss called out the names of the people he introduced several times before he finished introducing himself, he had to sigh again. Sure enough, the boss's success was not a fluke. Many of these people had not had direct contact with the boss for several years, but he could still recognize them and call out their names.

Cummins couldn't compare to him in this ability.

"Thank you, thank you for your enthusiasm," Feng Yiping shook hands with these bankers one by one.

Page and his friends were right. Knowing the news that Feng Yiping wanted to raise funds, the American banking circle was already excited or excited.

Before that, although they were familiar with Feng Yiping and admired Feng Yiping, they also said that they were friends with Feng Yiping on various occasions.

But in fact, they really had a lot of complaints about this friend.

In other words, their friend really didn't look like a capitalist. He was really an outlier who couldn't even be described as an outlier.

In a country like the United States where the average debt ratio of a family is close to 20%, your company is actually close to debt-free. Who can imagine this?

And this was after he had simultaneously launched a number of money-burning businesses in the United States and carried out several mergers and acquisitions, which could also be considered large-scale.

Ordinary Americans have to take out loans to buy a house, a car, or even a vacation. You are rich, but are you really so rich that you don’t need to get financing from banks even when investing and acquiring so many companies?

It’s fine that you used your own funds to invest tens of millions in the field of electronic maps, including NAVTEQ. It’s also fine that you didn’t go to banks to invest in Google’s hundreds of millions of dollars. But you didn’t even go to banks to acquire a listed company like Coin Star. Isn’t that a bit too much, comrade?

We can also see that you should be richer than we thought. We all know that your financial situation is very healthy, but your financial situation is so healthy that it’s stupid, okay?

In the United States, how can the debt ratio of unlisted companies be infinitely close to zero?

They can also be said to have experienced their own country’s prejudice against China.

In the past, some American media reported to their Chinese counterparts that Feng Yiping’s unlisted company in China had a debt ratio as low as zero. They were quite disdainful and doubted the professional ethics of their Chinese counterparts. Feng Yiping’s company in China is not a small company. How could such a situation occur?

When Feng Yiping's business in the United States grew bigger and bigger, many of the media that had ridiculed their Chinese counterparts also used similar writing styles to report Feng Yiping and his company.

To be honest, although the public envied and favored such behavior, and felt that this was a truly responsible company, because since they were spending their own money, they would definitely cherish it more, which meant that they would do their best in all aspects.

But the banking circle does not welcome such things. If everyone is like Feng Yiping, what do we need our banks for? Just help you save money, just help you transfer funds?

Yes, you are not short of money, but since you can raise more money, why don't you raise funds?

No place to spend after raising funds? How is it possible?

No matter how much money you have, companies on Wall Street can help you find investment opportunities?

There is an opportunity to raise funds, an opportunity to take more money to make more money, but you just don't do it. Isn't this stupid?

Later, because of the acquisition of Netflix, he finally thought of financing, but unfortunately, they had nothing to do with that financing, which was almost completely monopolized by Chinese banks. Even Canadian banks had a share of the soup, but they had no share at all. Isn’t this even more infuriating?

So this time, when these bankers received the news spread by Cummins, they were really relieved. This young old friend finally got it!

They pushed aside those Asian-looking colleagues - no matter whether you are Chinese or not, anyway, this time it is our turn.

While greeting Feng Yiping enthusiastically, "Feng, you have to get together with old friends this time. Even if you don't have time to eat, at least you have to have a cup of coffee with them."

Some people directly pointed out, "Feng, we have formed a banking group and have drafted a very loose agreement. You just need to write down the number and sign your name on it."

Zhou Ning and his friends finally figured out what was going on. Suddenly, they found that the group they were filming had also become the subject of others' filming. The American and even European colleagues from various well-known TV networks and news media also filmed their purely Chinese crews when filming Feng Yiping's arrival in New York.

However, the faces of those foreign colleagues were somewhat interesting now. It seemed that, like themselves, these colleagues in developed countries could only beg a low-level subordinate of these banking tycoons in life. How could they imagine such a scene, so many banking tycoons, using such a way of almost rolling to please Feng Yiping, to beg him for a loan? Or the huge amount of loans that everyone could not imagine.

The key is that the person they are seeking is younger than everyone else.

In this world, sometimes, some people and some things are really unreasonable.

Logically, the amount of financing Feng Yiping needs this time is only more than 2 billion US dollars, and it will definitely not exceed 3 billion. It would not make these bigwigs so excited, but these bigwigs are all thinking long-term. Feng Yiping's business in the United States is so thriving. As long as there is the opportunity for the first cooperation, will there be less in the future?

The heads of the New York branches of several state-owned banks who were squeezed aside, including the president of the New York branch of ICBC who chatted with Feng Yiping at the beginning, were really helpless at this time.

Originally, we had the first-mover advantage, but this time, Feng Yiping didn't even look at them extra until he got on the car. They had submitted a meeting application to his US office a long time ago, but there has been no follow-up so far. How did it come to this?

They couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied with the domestic superiors. When Feng Yiping was slandered, couldn't they stand up and say a few words boldly? The loan with Jiasheng can be said to be the most formal and the most worthy of scrutiny. What's wrong with that?

However, it's okay. At this point, there is still something to think about. Several people who usually compete with each other at work discussed it, and finally, the oldest one among them made a phone call.

"There is also..." Not long after getting in the car, Cummins was about to talk about business when Feng Yiping's phone rang. He saw that it was a call, so he had to answer it.

"Hello, Counselor Zheng,"

The Economic and Commercial Counselor's Office of the New York Consulate has always been very concerned about and supportive of his work.

"Hello, Mr. Feng, welcome to New York and continue to write a new glorious chapter in your career in the United States,"

"Thank you," Feng Yiping probably guessed why he called at this time.

Sure enough, after a few polite words, Counselor Zheng said the purpose of his visit, "I won't beat around the bush. Mr. Feng has always been the most supportive of excellent domestic businessmen. Can we also consider our own banks for the funds needed for this new merger and acquisition?"

"Counselor Zheng, you also know that this time, I have to take care of the emotions of American bankers. I believe you can understand this, right?"

He was indeed dissatisfied with the hesitation and inaction of domestic banks at some critical moments. In order to avoid being gossiped again, he really didn't want to give all the opportunities to a domestic bank like last time.

Besides, he also knew that if he did that again, he would probably become the most unpopular entrepreneur in the American banking circle, which was obviously not a good thing.

"Haha, I understand. I totally understand. But can you consider giving them at least one chance?"

"That should be no problem,"

Cummins finally had the chance to finish what he just said, "Feng, Palmat is waiting for you at the hotel,"

Oh, is he so impatient?

But when he arrived at the hotel, Feng Yiping found that it was not what he thought. The first thing the old man said when they met was, "Feng, Disney was forced to withdraw midway. You got what you wanted, right!"
