Chapter 2486: First the Villain, Then the Gentleman

Feng Yiping was also very busy this afternoon. Not long after Fink and the others left, he brought the large group of people to NEXTDOOR.

The environment at Man Tingfang was good, but after all, it was not a place for formal talks. When he was talking to Fink and the others there, he was somewhat intentional in order to lose their face.

It's not that he is unruly and mean. After all these years, even if he has reached the point where he is now, his nature is still the same kind and humble.

In my heart, I am still the same miserable but lucky rural kid who repaid my mortgage every month and finally became a pseudo-middle class mainly by relying on housing prices. At the same time, I am on the road to becoming a citizen.

I have never had any scheming intentions or the habit of bullying others.

In recent years, his net worth has become more and more abundant, and many benefits that can make people break his head are ignored. In terms of temperament, he is much more kind.

Generally speaking, one really doesn't want to do something that would bring shame on someone, but when there is a reason for it, one has to do it once.

Because now, his company is related to the jobs of tens of thousands of people, and he really doesn't dare to be negligent.

He believed that among the other enthusiastic viewers present today, there were also people who thought about his company in this way and that, and he indeed rarely showed his powerful side in the United States, so Kuroiwa and Fu The two guys who came to our door were really the most suitable "chickens".

Because it was Lawrence Fink and Edward Johnson, the two big guys, in front of them, this "chicken" was enough to scare the monkeys, so it was perfect.

It should be said that it is also very appropriate to do such a thing under the current general situation.

Whether it is the wealthy people in this house, for whom subprime mortgages are not a big deal, or the people outside the house who may be suffering from menstrual pain due to subprime mortgages, this meeting with Lawrence Fink and Edward Johnson, in Feng There was no one who was not relieved despite the bleak look in front of him.

Of course, he himself felt quite relieved.

I have been traveling all over the world these days, meeting so many people, talking so much, making so many promises... It feels really good to see Fink and Johnson bowing their heads in front of me.

It's just that he didn't have the leisure to fully appreciate it this afternoon.

With such a large group of people coming to the park, including businessmen and politicians, he naturally had to do his best to be a landlord. First, he would accompany everyone around, and then he would have to have slightly formal talks with some of them. When he called over there, he really forgot about the ultimatum.

Wu Qian reminded her, "It's less than half an hour until six o'clock."

Feng Yiping nodded, these guys also have a lot of fun.

He was probably ready to give in a long time ago, but he didn't want to be too active, which would make him seem a bit incompetent.

On the other hand, I didn’t dare to really exceed the time, so I chose the time when there was still more than twenty minutes before the deadline.

This half-welcoming and half-rejection... To be honest, it was really embarrassing for those two old men.

"Feng," the caller was Edward Johnson, still looking calm and elegant, "Both Fidelity and Black Rock are willing to have more cooperation with your company in the future. ,"He said.

"Feng, Black Rock is very willing to cooperate comprehensively with your company in the future," Lawrence Fink interjected, and his words also revealed the enthusiasm and joy of reunion after a long separation.

"Your vision is unmatched by anyone, and Black Rock's advantage is that we have the most funds,"

But this was a wishful thinking that was destined to fail. How could Feng Yiping still make money with him?

"I understand what you two mean," Feng Yiping smiled. As expected of a boss, he was so coy and tactful even when he gave in. "Congratulations to both of you for making a wise choice."

"So, about the transfer of company shares?" Johnson asked.

"Which companies are they?" Feng Yiping said directly. "They probably can't compete with Apple, Amazon, etc. There are also some companies in China. Someone will talk to you about the specifics. I am now," he looked at the remaining ones. Talks, "Really busy,"

There was silence for a while, and Feng Yiping had to ask, "Are you still there?"

The two people on the other side really don’t know what to say.

They were not offended by Feng Yiping's words, "I'm very busy now."

Although they did have some opinions after hearing that sentence.

The two of them teamed up to take the initiative to call a person, and it was a call that could be freely manipulated. You actually said that you were very busy now and wanted to end the call quickly. How could this not be annoying?

But what really left Lawrence Fink and Edward Johnson speechless was Feng Yiping's attempt. What is "cannot escape Apple, Amazon, and some Chinese companies"?

They can't bear to mention Apple, which is currently doing well. Judging from what he means, it's not just one company or two, so how many companies' shares do you really want us to transfer to you?

How big is your appetite?

When Feng Yiping's tone became a little impatient, Johnson spoke, "Feng, you know, transferring the shares we hold is not a simple matter. When we invested, we signed an agreement, something like Such transfers generally require the consent of the relevant company,"

At this time, if you directly say no, it will obviously make things more difficult, and it will really outweigh the gains.

"You don't need to worry about this kind of problem, I will solve it naturally," Feng Yiping said nonchalantly.

"For example, Apple," Johnson said, "Are you sure they will be willing to..."

"I'm sure," Feng Yiping said quickly, "Then, someone will discuss specific issues with you tomorrow. Tonight, you are welcome to attend our dinner,"

"No need, no need," Johnson said immediately.

Attending your dinner? How cheap must I be?

"We have to go to the airport soon,"

After finalizing this matter, they really don't want to stay in San Francisco for a moment.

Not only now, but also in the future, if there is nothing particularly important, don't think they will step into Silicon Valley again.

"Feng, I want to ask, how many shares of companies do you hope to transfer from us?" Lawrence Fink still couldn't help it.

"There will be some, you will know soon," Feng Yiping said.

"Some?" Fink's voice couldn't help but get a little louder.

Are you mistaken?

Let's not talk about other things. Do you know how many Apple shares we hold now and how much they are worth now?

Among the shares of those companies we hold, it would be very good to transfer one or two to you. In the end, you are not one or two, but some!

What do you think we are, lambs to be slaughtered?

Can I say dirty words?

"Yes, some," Feng Yiping said, "Johnson is right, for many companies, we cannot accept all the shares in your hands."

Let's put it this way, except for a few companies, such as Amazon, where Bezos himself holds a high stake, for most other companies, the shares held by BlackRock and Fidelity, if added together, will definitely become the company's largest shareholder.

Such a big change, those companies will definitely not accept it.

Because Feng Yiping and BlackRock and Fidelity are different in nature, many companies are willing to accept BlackRock and Fidelity as major shareholders, but they will definitely not be willing to Feng Yiping as their largest shareholder, because that is equivalent to a certain degree of acquisition.

"So, if a company only transfers some, then it must be some companies, right?"

Fink didn't feel comforted after hearing this.

Even if you want to accept all the shares of some companies in our hands, we will definitely not be willing.

"I still want to know the approximate number," he continued to ask despite Johnson's dissuasion beside him.

"That's easy," Feng Yiping said, "Oh, Johnson just said you'll go to the airport right away? I think this plan can be canceled,"

Johnson glanced at Fink, see, I told you to talk less, but you didn't listen.

"Why?" he asked, "You know, the company has a lot of things that need us to deal with,"

"Come on," Feng Yiping said, "Under the current conditions, where in the world can we not handle work?"

"The reason why I asked you to cancel the trip is because I think we should be a villain first and a gentleman later. I believe that it is more efficient to communicate directly with you two about the specific company and the transfer amount,"

"Tomorrow we will determine the general framework first, and then you will leave Silicon Valley, okay," he looked like he was asking for opinions, but then he said, "That's it, see you tomorrow,"

It means that there is no room for negotiation.

Lawrence Fink and Edward Johnson were furious again, and helpless...
