Chapter 2473 I Want to See You but I Can’t

The behavior of Abigail and Robert, or the practices of Edward Johnson of Fidelity and Lawrence Fink of Black Rock, perfectly reveals some characteristics of Wall Street from one side.

First, they are very pragmatic and rational.

When they knew that their schemes were not even worthless and would even affect their business in China, Black Rock and Fidelity immediately gave up the plan they had planned for a long time and prepared to seek reconciliation, that is, to take the initiative to bow to Feng Yiping.

For the two big guys, they didn't think that doing so would damage their face.

What is face?

They only have interests in their eyes.

The previous dissatisfaction of Lawrence Fink and Edward Johnson was mainly because their methods were disintegrated in advance by Feng Yiping, which would directly affect their schemes, that is, they were unhappy about affecting their own profits.

Secondly, they reacted quickly.

After both received reports from the company in China and knew that their business in China might be affected, they quickly made a decision to reconcile.

And by the next day, the person who could represent them had already arrived in San Francisco.

Finally, their approach also perfectly interprets what "peers" are.

Just now, they were good allies who worked together and advanced and retreated together. The next moment, both sides hid the other side and quickly sent people to Silicon Valley.

Because it is obvious that those who seek reconciliation with Feng Yiping first will definitely get better conditions...

Therefore, for these colleagues on Wall Street, competition is always the mainstream, and cooperation is just a temporary compromise in the face of interests - the performance of Goldman Sachs's Lloyd and Morgan Stanley's Xia Jinheng has actually explained this point.

Therefore, Abigail and Robert, who were lucky enough to meet at the airport gate, were already chatting and laughing when Abigail's car arrived.

Everyone is a wise man. Since this can be regarded as a routine operation, what is there to be embarrassed about?

Robert gentlemanly replaced the driver's job and diligently opened the car door for Abigail, or in other words, like an elder who cares for the younger generation.

Before closing the door, he smiled and said, "Abigail, since you are here to discuss the next step of cooperation with Mr. Feng," - look at this positioning, "the next step of cooperation", rather than surrendering or something like that.

"Then in order to achieve the best results, do you think we should discuss a plan together?"

Abigail immediately said with a smile, "Then I'll leave it to you!"

"You also know that this Mr. Feng is a very rare partner," - this is also wonderful. In her words, Feng Yiping is now a "partner", and a "very rare" one.

"We all don't want to lose such a partner. I was very nervous about this task. With Mr. Robert here, there will be no problem."

"You are flattering," Robert gently closed the door for her. When Abigail's car drove away, he was still there smiling and watching.

Robert was no longer visible behind the car, and Abigail's face immediately turned cold. Humph, you want to trick me?

The so-called "joint plan", in the process of formulating it, it is naturally easy to find out the strategy they have formulated to prepare for negotiations with Feng Yiping.

How could she fall for that?

So she let Robert make the decision, so that even if they really join forces again next time, once asked what to do, she can say, "What do you think, Mr. Robert?"

Trick me? Let me get you to say something first.

She didn't care about showing weakness like this.

First, she was a woman, and second, she was not as good as Robert in terms of age or qualifications, so what if she showed weakness?

This was a natural advantage for her as a woman in such an occasion, and she would certainly make good use of it.

She looked back, reporting to her father about her encounter with Robert, while thinking about how to contact Feng Yiping.

Because it seemed that she and Heiyan were still at the same starting line, the first thing to do was to find a way to get to the finish line as soon as possible, or to prevent the other party from reaching the finish line.

Robert was the same over there. After not seeing Abigail's car, his face quickly turned cold. While reporting the new situation to Lawrence Fink, he was also making the same plan as Abigail.

As for cooperation?

That must be something that would only be done when it was absolutely necessary.

…………

Feng Yiping, who was testing the car with the enthusiastic Lao Ma and others when a large number of congressmen wanted to come to Tesla but couldn't, soon learned the news.

Frankly speaking, he was also a little surprised that the two companies were so ready to surrender and send people over so quickly.

So quick and easy?

However, it was impossible for the two to see him so quickly.

There was no such a cheap thing.

"Sue them, I'm busy," Feng Yiping said to Wu Qian.

Wu Qian nodded and called the office immediately. The Android conference was about to be held, so it was natural that Feng Yiping was busy.

Whether for Abigail or Robert, such a result was not surprising.

After all, they were still actively preparing to calculate this "very rare partner" until yesterday noon.

Their attitude and position changed, but they could not ask the other party's attitude and position to change accordingly.

More importantly, Feng Yiping's side took the initiative at this time.

And isn't this the best time to show initiative?

Because they had a very deep understanding of this, they were not surprised when they received a call from Feng Yiping's office.

They immediately launched a backup plan.

In the Tesla, Lao Ma pulled Feng Yiping with a bright face, "I will definitely jump in the queue this time. No matter what, one of the first batch of cars must be mine,"

In fact, this was not his first test drive. He also drove the car that was shipped to China for a few laps, but everyone knew it was a test drive. He had to complete many tasks in China next, so who could open it and drive it? ?

It was just a close encounter.

At Tesla, it’s natural to get whatever you want, especially the 100-meter acceleration, which several people have tried more than once.

"No problem at all," Feng Yiping said cheerfully.

But Lao Ma's grateful smile only bloomed halfway, and he heard the second half of the sentence, "But I will increase the price appropriately."

Lao Ma was so angry. Looking at Feng Yiping's smiling face, he wanted to do as the Romans do and give him the middle finger.

What about the people you promised? Where is the good partner you promised?

Where is your sanctimonious energy when you despise those car manufacturers who increase prices?

What about the legendary mysophobia?

Considering that there is a woman growing up, the middle finger finally turned into a thumb, "I finally know how you became the richest man,"

"That's right, if you can't even become the richest man by killing one of your own, how unreasonable is that?" Fang Yingzhi said in support.

"Haha, it's time to replace our car," Liang Yonggao looked at the cars at this time, unable to conceal his starry eyes.

Zheng Jiayi was a little frustrated, "Yingzhi, why do I feel that I bought the car too early?"

Not to mention the number of Ferraris I own, I can probably buy two of them, but how technologically advanced is this car?

Wu Qian hurried over again at this time, "Yiping, Ballmer's phone number,"

Ballmer? Has he already called to congratulate you?

"Von," Ballmer said in his usual loud voice, "I know you are very busy right now, so I will keep the story short. Fidelity Johnson's daughter came to me and said that she had arrived in Silicon Valley. If possible, she hopes to meet you as soon as possible. ,"

"I know there may be something going on here. It's up to you to decide whether to meet or not. I'm just passing on a message." If Abigail knew what Ballmer said, she would probably roll her eyes.

"There's no way, Fidelity is our majority shareholder," Ballmer said.

"I know Ballmer," Feng Yiping had just hung up the phone from Ballmer when another person came to ask for help. This time, it was Hewlett-Packard.

The principle is the same. Black Rock is one of HP's major institutional shareholders.

The words are almost the same. They are only responsible for conveying the words, and they will not force them if they cannot meet the specific requirements.

At least no one is stupider than anyone else.

If they were talking about cooperation normally, they could just contact Feng Yiping's office directly. Why would they need to rely on them?

So soon, both Abigail and Robert received the same reply as before, "Sorry, Mr. Feng is not available,"

They suddenly felt that this was a bit difficult to handle.
