Chapter 2457 I Have a Chance
After leaving the conference room, Lloyd and Xia Jinheng looked at each other involuntarily.
The meeting just now was really laborious and hard work, and unprecedented embarrassing situations were encountered again and again.
Lloyd felt that the last time his mood changed so much was in 2003, when he finally successfully established himself as Paulson's only successor at Goldman Sachs.
For Xia Jinheng, it was also about three or four years ago when he was expelled from Credit Suisse First Boston again that he had such a drastic psychological change.
Now that it has finally ended, the two of them are really full of emotion. They feel that it is really not easy to get such a result in the end, and at the same time, they feel like comrades who have carried guns together.
"I will let the newly established M&A team confirm the meeting time with you as soon as possible," Lloyd said to Xia Jinheng.
The first thing they have to do after the meeting is naturally the two M&A projects that Feng Yiping has explained.
The two projects this time are also the projects with the greatest degree of freedom in their cooperation with Feng Yiping so far. Feng Yiping even said that the plans are all in the charge of the two companies, and he is only responsible for full cooperation.
Laurde and Xia Jinheng also know that rather than saying that these two projects are one aspect of Feng Yiping's support for them, it is better to say that whether these two projects can be successfully completed will directly affect whether his promises can be fulfilled.
Otherwise, why would he choose to propose these two mergers and acquisitions projects at this meeting?
Therefore, it is very important to complete these two projects.
"For these two projects, let's also determine a meeting time. I think we should fix it and contact each other every half a month to review the relevant progress and discuss the next plan," Xia Jinheng suggested.
Laurde nodded, "Okay!"
This nod was also a farewell. After that, the two of them joined their subordinates and waited at the door of the two elevators. They treated each other as air and even deliberately avoided the opposite direction, as if there was a wall over there.
More stranger than strangers.
This is actually the normal state of the two of them.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been sabotaging each other when they were together facing Feng Yiping.
As soon as Xia Jinheng entered the elevator, President Sun asked impatiently, "Is it ideal?"
In front of his own people, Xia Jinheng finally relaxed, leaned on the elevator, rubbed his temples, and was exhausted.
President Sun immediately knew that regardless of the result, this process must have been very difficult.
She had seen Xia Jinheng working for more than 40 hours in a row many times, but she felt that when he worked for more than 40 hours in a row before, there were also several high-level and important meetings arranged during those 40 hours, but even then, he was not as tired as today.
This shows how difficult it was to hold this meeting that just ended.
She actually wanted to ask if Feng Yiping talked about herself, because she really wanted to know why Feng Yiping was so angry with her.
Because it was you who ruined my two big plans, and those were two big plans that had no conflict with you at all. It's normal for me to have an opinion on you, but why do you still have an opinion on me?
She didn't believe the reason Feng Yiping gave.
The interests of the country and the collective, what are you, a businessman, pretending to be noble?
You know, those who have reached an intention and agreement with me can better represent the interests of the country and the collective.
Even they welcome such cooperation, why do you want to interfere and ruin it all for me?
But seeing Xia Jinheng's state, it is obviously not the time to ask this question.
Although she was a little worried, was it possible that Feng Yiping would say bad things about her in front of his immediate boss?
When Feng Yiping rushed into the meeting room and talked to her, she felt that such a possibility should not be ruled out.
If Feng Yiping did that, even if the boss valued her, it would still affect the boss's view of her.
Because the person who said those words was Feng Yiping.
She had a lot of opinions about Feng Yiping, but it didn't mean that she didn't know Feng Yiping's strength and influence.
Therefore, she carefully observed Xia Jinheng's face, trying to find some clues from the expression on his face.
But she failed.
Xia Jinheng seemed to be thinking with his eyes closed at this time. He should be thinking about some important work, but she really couldn't tell what it was.
After arriving at Morgan Stanley's manor on the island, Xia Jinheng quickly called several people into the conference room. Sun Wei observed that some of them were in charge of the M&A department, while the others seemed to be the supervisors of a team that was recently established and was mainly responsible for participating in a big plan that was said to be planned by many peers.
The performances of the two groups after they came out were also very different. The M&A team was somewhat excited. It was obvious that they had received some new tasks, while the other side was somewhat shocked and incomprehensible.
- Ask them to tell Feng Yiping about the relevant plans in full. Of course, those people were shocked and incomprehensible, because that plan was a plan targeting Feng Yiping.
Sun Wei thought about it and decided to go and say a few words to Xia Jinheng.
After all, the original intention of bringing her along this time was to use her advantages to build a good relationship with Feng Yiping, but judging from the results, the help did not help, but it also brought negative effects. , she also needs to take the initiative to review.
But just then, another visitor came.
…………
When Madoff walked into Xia Jincheng's office with a smile, Xia Jincheng was standing by the wine cabinet, "What would you like to drink?"
"Whiskey," Madoff said as he sat down with a smile, "Why, are you having a hard time talking?"
It seems that the relationship between the two of them is indeed as Feng Yiping guessed, a bit complicated.
"Did you receive the call?" Xia Jinheng did not answer his question, but said something else, "I introduced you to him,"
This is actually Madoff's intention. Why haven't I received a call from there?
But he pretended not to care, "Maybe he can't spare the time, after all, our business has no intersection,"
Since there is no business overlap, Feng Yiping may not waste time with him.
"I want to meet him. I am mainly curious about what kind of person this somewhat legendary Mr. Feng is."
Xia Jinheng glanced at him. Why are you pretending to be in front of me? Don't think that I don't know your intentions.
"After this contact with him, what kind of person do you think he is?" Madoff asked.
"He..." Xia Jinheng twirled his wine glass.
"If he's an opponent, he's an absolutely fantastic opponent,"
"But if he's a partner, it's an absolutely fantastic partner,"
Thinking about the embarrassment, embarrassment, and excitement that he encountered during the meeting...I thought that during most of the entire meeting, Feng Yiping had actually been putting pressure on himself and Lauder, and repeatedly pushed them Forced to the point of no return.
But in the end, some pretty good conditions were given.
As a person in charge of an enterprise, Xia Jinheng was extremely familiar with this routine of first suppressing and then wooing him, but in the end, he mainly admired Feng Yiping, and was somewhat touched and grateful. This fully shows that Feng Yiping's greatness.
Because there are very few people nowadays who can use such ordinary routines so smoothly and effectively on Xia Jinheng.
"Opponent... partner," Madoff repeated Xia Jincheng's words, "that is, if possible, we'd better be his partner."
Xia Jinheng glanced at Madoff again, "I don't want to have competitors like him,"
Madoff nodded, "Thank you," he looked at his phone, "Oh, it looks like our Mr. Feng took some time out,"
He checked his watch. "I'd better go now,"
"Go ahead and remember what I said." Xia Jinheng was not surprised that Feng Yiping ended the meeting with State Street so quickly, because with State Street, he must have mainly focused on wooing him.
…………
When Madoff arrived at the conference room, he happened to see Joseph Hooley of State Street coming out of the conference room. Just by the smile on his face, he knew that the meeting must have satisfied him.
The Chinese girl he had some impression of, who seemed to be Feng Yiping's most important assistant, came over and said, "Mr. Madoff, please follow me. Feng is waiting for you inside."
"Thanks,"
In the conference room, Feng Yiping, who was still sitting there, seemed to be in a much better state of mind than Xia Jincheng. He was dealing with emails at this time. When he saw Madoff coming in, he only raised his eyes and said, "Please sit down. I'll be fine soon,"
Madoff, who was always being begged for on the island, was still smiling at this time and did not feel left out at all. "It doesn't matter. You go first,"
Feng Yiping quickly closed the computer, walked to sit next to Madoff, and shook his hand, "So Madoff, what do you and I want to talk about?"
Madoff didn't expect him to be so direct.
And he always felt that Feng Yiping seemed to already know what he wanted to talk to him about.
This feeling is quite bad.
"Feng, you know the current situation better than anyone else. Under such circumstances, the preservation of your huge wealth is a problem, and I happen to have a few good investment projects. I..."
"Wait," Feng Yiping interrupted.
"You said," Madoff said with a smile still on his face.
"I want to ask, Madoff, have you ever recommended your project to Buffett?" Feng Yiping asked suddenly.
"Well, Mr. Buffett, of course..." Madoff was a little nervous, wondering how he could find Buffett's head.
"That means there is none, right," Feng Yiping said, "So, why would you recommend your project to me? Do you think I will lack investment projects?"
At this moment, he really wanted to ask Madoff, have you heard a Chinese song? It was "Courage" sung by a female singer named Liang Jingru.
Madoff did not expect that Feng Yiping would compare to this.
"Feng, I want to say that the return on investment for this project of mine will be very..."
Feng Yiping waved his hand and sat back in his original seat, "Madoff, I do have a project with good returns. I wonder if you are interested."
