Chapter 2453: Simple and Brutal

Aren't you worried that you will go bankrupt? But even if you go bankrupt, I still deserve not a penny less!

Feng Yiping's attitude cannot be said to be irresolute.

It is absolutely impossible for the two heads of Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to feel comfortable hearing Feng Yiping's tough statement.

But it’s not incomprehensible.

After all, according to current estimates, Feng Yiping and his company's return will be at least several billion dollars - this is their estimate of the income from the agreement signed by Feng Yiping and their own company.

Since Feng Yiping had brought the two of them together to discuss it, both Lord and Mack naturally knew that Feng Yiping's investment in their two companies would probably be at the same level.

In other words, the income of their two companies will be at the same level, so the total may be more than several billion dollars.

In the face of such a huge sum of money, who can not be determined?

For such a large sum of money, even with a small discount, the amount involved would be in the hundreds of millions.

If you don't be determined, that won't work.

However, since the money is provided by them, they must also be determined.

The reason is the same. They can make Feng Yiping relax a little, and the amount involved is at least hundreds of millions.

"Feng, we all know that you have always been a win-win partner. The reason why you are so successful and the reason why your company develops so fast is because everyone knows this about you and hopes to cooperate with you." Lauder said.

"We also understand that you have to protect your own profits. We understand it very much. However, if this causes our two companies to close down, I think it will definitely have a great negative impact on your good reputation and image. "Mai Jinheng continued smoothly.

"Everyone knows that when you look at problems, you have the longest view, and you can see further than Buffett, who insists on long-term investment."

"If you look at it in the long run, the losses caused by such consequences may far exceed the benefits you can gain," he said very sincerely.

"Let me briefly summarize what you two mean," Feng Yiping supported his chin with his hand, smiling and speaking in a soft voice, "You two asked me to take the initiative to ask for less than the two companies that should give us in return according to the agreement, or not. Best, right?”

Both of them smiled, that was naturally the best, but they understood that it was unrealistic anyway.

"Then you said, really, this is for your own good!"

After listening to Feng Yiping's words, Lord and Mai Jincheng felt a little embarrassed at this time, and their faces felt a little hot.

Because, from that perspective, it is really quite shameless to say such things.

But when hundreds of millions or billions of dollars are involved, is face important? Face, is that a magical thing?

"We all know that Feng, you are not an ordinary person, so you can understand this truth," Lauder said.

"I understand a truth," Feng Yiping looked out the window.

oh! Lauder and Xia Jinheng looked at each other happily, no, he really understands?

In other words, is he really thinking about giving in?

They all thought it was a bit incredible, so naturally it couldn't be true.

"I finally understand why Jim Carrey has done so many comedies but never even received an Oscar nomination,"

"That's because he has never experienced life on Wall Street, so he doesn't know what real comedy is."

"Next time I see him, I will definitely advise him to stay on Wall Street for a few months. Even if he can only learn a little bit about the two of you, then he will definitely be the best actor at the next Oscar. ,"

Even though both Lauder and Xia Jinheng had been shameless for many years, they still felt a little hot on their faces when they heard Feng Yiping's sarcasm.

Their logic is so untenable that it sounds like a joke.

"Feng, it's true that if we perform according to the agreement, then at least Morgan Stanley will go bankrupt in the future," Xia Jincheng said.

"The same goes for Goldman Sachs," Lauder hastily added.

He couldn't help but complain to Xia Jincheng again, "It's this time, we are all in trouble. Please tell us what you said, will you die?"

"Of course you can find a solution through the bankruptcy committee, but we must tell you some practices that outsiders may not know," Xia Jincheng continued, and he still looked like I am taking your best interests seriously.

"The major investment banks on Wall Street have a lot of mutual investments and loans. Therefore, just like the previous bankrupt New Century Financial Corporation and American Residential Mortgage Investment Company, what they left behind is relatively high-quality and still Valuable assets will be taken away by peers in the industry as soon as possible.”

"Yes," Lauder added, "We all know your influence, Feng, but in that case, no matter what, you can't overtake our colleagues."

"So, what I can leave you in the end," he spread his hands, "to put it bluntly, is just a pile of rubbish."

Although Feng Yiping had never thought about this issue, he knew that what these two people said was the truth.

This is a very real problem. Whether a person or a company goes bankrupt, it is naturally impossible for the rights and interests of all creditors to be protected fairly.

He looked at the two people seriously, "I really admire them both, really admire them very much,"

When those two people heard what he said, they knew that what he said next would be extremely sarcastic.

This time they got it right.

“As the chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, they were able to talk to me so calmly and nonchalantly about the aftermath of the bankruptcy of Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley,” he gave a thumbs up. “This demeanor is simply unmatched by my generation. A role model!"

"It's really worth studying for ten or eight years,"

Who the hell wants to go bankrupt?

Lauder received a year-end bonus of US$53.4 million last year, thus setting a new discipline for year-end bonuses in Wall Street investment banks. This year, he knows that he will probably break this record, and next year, he still hopes to break the record he created again.

So, how could he be willing to go bankrupt?

However, we may be able to cope with it this year, but next year, as long as Feng Yiping insists on carrying out the relevant terms of the agreement, then although Goldman Sachs may not necessarily go bankrupt, Goldman Sachs' earnings next year will definitely be very ugly.

Under such circumstances, do you still want to get a record year-end bonus?

That's also a joke.

And Xia Jincheng is even more unwilling to go bankrupt.

If Goldman Sachs goes bankrupt, Lord's biggest loss will be in terms of income.

However, for them, although income is important, it is really not the most important thing.

After so many years on Wall Street, although their wealth is not comparable to that of Feng Yiping, they have also achieved financial freedom long ago.

For Xia Jinheng, who only staged a perfect revenge two years ago, Morgan Stanley's bankruptcy is even more unacceptable than his personal bankruptcy.

Because that means that his so-called perfect revenge is a complete joke.

The consequence of your perfect revenge is to finish off Damo?

That further means that his entire life is a complete joke.

Everyone will say that Pei Xiliang was right to kick you out of Morgan Stanley, and Du Deheng was right to kick you out of Credit Suisse First Boston.

Because you see, the result of having your chairman and CEO shoulder the responsibility is that the company goes bankrupt.

After all the talk, seeing that Feng Yiping was still not willing to give in at all, the two men became firm in their attitude.

"So, can we understand that, Feng, you mean that this issue is completely non-negotiable? Even if we go bankrupt," Lauder said.

"It seems that Feng is determined to put the greatest pressure on us when we are in the most difficult time, that is, to make us bankrupt?" Xia Jinheng also asked.

"Oh," Feng Yiping adjusted his sitting posture, pushed his feet on the ground, and pushed the stool a little further away from the conference table and the two of them. "Is this a showdown?"

"We are no longer going to stage the drama of bitterness, but are we going to use tough methods instead?"

Neither Lauder nor Xia Jinheng said anything, they just looked at Feng Yiping coldly. The meaning was obvious.

As well-known figures on Wall Street and in the world's financial circles, they naturally have tempers.

We have been talking sincerely for so long, but you are not considerate at all, so what else can we do?

If the soft one doesn't work, then of course the only option is the hard one.

Any other person, under the gaze of these two people, would be extremely stressed and at a loss to move forward or retreat.

However, a smile slowly appeared on Feng Yiping's face, and the smile became stronger and stronger. Finally, "Hahaha," he actually laughed.

"Feng, do you think we are funny?" Xia Jincheng asked.

"Aren't you ridiculous?" Feng Yiping stood up and looked at them condescendingly, "Threaten me? Huh?"

"Do you know how important credibility is as the head of an investment bank?"

"You don't want to fulfill the agreement, and you still want to threaten me?"

"Then let's think about it, what will be the consequences if this matter is disclosed?"

"Oh, it turns out that Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley only allow themselves to make money. If investors want to make money from them, they will turn their backs,"

"You said, if such a thing is revealed at a time when Wall Street is being increasingly hated by more and more people, will anyone still do business with you?"

"I'm sure that at that time, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley were really dead,"

"Yes, I don't accept threats. Even if you really go bankrupt and we can't get back all the profits, I won't accept threats either,"

"Because I know better than anyone what it means to give in to you when dealing with you,"

"Even if I only give in a small step, then, next, you have many means, let me give in a big step, and then follow up with a big step..."

"And, threatening me?" Feng Yiping looked at the two of them, "Have you ever thought about the power behind this fund?"

"My company is not worth mentioning, so don't mention it, but do you think that whether it is Google or Apple, they will care about your threats?"

"They will let you threaten them?"
