Chapter 2742 Development

This elaborate and luxurious dinner in the evening, like all its sisters and brothers who have never met, has not been able to realize its most basic value throughout its short life.

It has no chance to soothe people's stomachs, let alone soothe people's hearts.

Ratan Tata and Mukesh Ambani have no appetite, and Feng Yiping has too much to say and has no time to eat. In addition, he still hopes to have more meals with Mallika when he is in India.

So, the dishes on the table have once again become background and spectators.

But it is still valuable.

Watching Feng Yiping's car go away, Ratan couldn't help laughing as soon as he got into his car. The secretary who just knew Feng Yiping's proposal said, "With Ambani? Do we really want to join?"

Ratan glanced at Ambani's motorcade over there, "Of course,"

Although Feng Yiping's performance tonight was somewhat different from the past, Ratan knew at least one thing, as long as he could cooperate with Feng Yiping, the result would definitely not disappoint him.

As for why Feng Yiping proposed to cooperate with both of them on the e-commerce project, he probably understood the reason.

This young man is indeed thoughtful.

His vision is so accurate, so why not cooperate with him?

On the other side, Ambani's secretary also knew Feng Yiping's proposal at this time. His reaction was exactly the same as his colleagues, "With Tata Group?"

"I want to get the latest e-commerce market research report as soon as possible," Ambani did not respond to the secretary's question.

He did not reject cooperation with Feng Yiping in e-commerce, but he had to bring Tata in, which made him a little reluctant.

Because his telecommunications company is one of the strongest telecommunications operators in India, his Reliance Group is of course more advantageous than the Tata Group in the Internet field.

They have also made some attempts in the Internet field, but Tata can be said to be blank in this regard.

This is not without reason. Think about Ratan Tata. In fact, he should have retired to the second line long ago, but he was unwilling to give up the power in his hands. He is so old, and it is really hard to expect him to fully embrace the young Internet economy.

So, why should we bring him in?

Although the Tata Group can certainly provide help in many aspects in the future, it is not impossible for Reliance Group to do those things.

How about just the two of us joining forces? ...

But these thoughts only flashed through Ambani's mind, and he understood why Feng Yiping wanted to bring the two companies together.

It is precisely because of his company's advantages in the Internet that Feng Yiping wants to bring in a third party that he cannot underestimate.

He is just guarding against the fact that in the future, he will take advantage of his advantages in all aspects to kick him out of the joint venture e-commerce company.

To be honest, Ambani cannot guarantee that he can't do such a thing.

If Feng Yiping knew what Ambani was thinking at this time, he would definitely sneer. What's the point of being humble? You can't do such a thing?

All of India knows that in order to get more inheritance, you and your brothers fought for so many years.

Feng Yiping believes that even if he is the controlling shareholder at the beginning of the cooperation, Ambani can still find a way to kick him out after development.

These wealthy families in India that have lasted for hundreds of years are definitely not just for show. It can be said that they, like Samsung in South Korea, have more than just economic influence on the country.

As long as they want, as long as the rewards are generous, it is easy to change the situation.

The secretary who had already called to give instructions asked Ambani again, "Do we really want to join forces with Feng?"

Just look at eBay and Amazon in the United States, think about Feng Yiping's e-commerce company, or just think about Feng Yiping's proposal, then you can know that in India, this must be a promising project.

In this case, why don't we go it alone? It's not that we don't have that kind of strength.

Ambani looked out of the car and said, let's talk about this issue in a week.

He really wanted to see if Feng Yiping's words, which sounded like God, would be verified in the next week.

If so, of course he would agree.

Even with their strength and influence, even in India, they cannot avoid taking detours in some things. Having a partner who can see such a complex problem so accurately will naturally save them trouble.

…………

Feng Yiping had returned to the hotel and was having a candlelight dinner with the happy Marika.

As for whether his words would come true in the next week, he really wasn't worried at all.

These days, he had been thinking seriously about whether to acquire Lehman Brothers when the time came. But his main concern was not what Bin Laden and Ambani thought, but the reaction of another company on Wall Street.

He knew very well that as long as he didn't make a move, that company would definitely not let Lehman Brothers go.

In other words, what other plans would be better than using such a crisis to achieve the goal of completely killing one's competitors?

Therefore, Bin Laden and Ambani were not the only ones who had no appetite tonight. Min Yusheng, the white knight in the mind of Lehman Brothers boss Fuld, who had not answered the phone calls from his old employer after the US government announced the takeover of the two housing agencies, was also the same.

At this time, he knew that his idea of ​​doing something that would impress others and helping his old employer at the same time was already very uncertain.

The National Financial Commission, which had previously supported his proposal, had officially notified him that "at a time when subprime loans are rampant, state-owned banks, including the Korea Development Bank, should evaluate whether they are controllable in terms of financial risks and corporate structure... Acquiring a global investment bank can certainly be an opportunity for the Korea Development Bank to improve its business capabilities... But considering the huge risks, we should be cautious about such investments..."

The meaning of these words was very clear. The Financial Commission did not support the Industrial Bank to inject capital into Goldman Sachs at this time.

But Min Yusheng naturally did not want to give up like this, and he was still actively mediating.

At this time, he was talking to an important person who originally supported his idea, and the other party answered his question with a question, "Do you remember what happened in June?"

What happened in June? Min Yusheng was a little discouraged, but he immediately said, "Look, these two things..."

The other party interrupted him, "Do you think that at this time, the Financial Commission will allow our bank to make any mistakes in investing in American companies?"

This completely cut off Min Yusheng's luck.

What happened in June is simple to say. The new South Korean government, which had just taken office, decided to lift the ban on American beef. This was naturally the new president, who was a businessman, paying tribute to his American father.

But they never expected what happened next. As soon as the news spread, Korean society exploded. Isn’t Korean beef good? Why import American beef that may have mad cow disease?

Large-scale demonstrations soon broke out in various places. In Seoul, at the peak, the number of demonstrators exceeded 40,000... In the end, the prime minister, who had just taken office and could be said to have not even sat in the chair warm, was thrown out as a scapegoat.

But this was not enough. The director of the presidential office of the Blue House (equivalent to the head of the General Office of the Central Committee, or the White House Chief of Staff) and all the chief secretaries had to resign.

The popular saying about this incident is, "200,000 tons of American beef brought down the government."

This actually led to the new government being very cautious in dealing with matters related to the United States, especially some bureaucratic departments. How could they risk being a scapegoat and support Min Yusheng's actions?

Min Yusheng also knew that since this person said so, he must have the power to incite public opinion in this regard. If he still insisted, he would only lose himself.

The other party also told him a good news, which should be considered good news, "I asked them to give up an idea. The notice of ending the relevant negotiations with Lehman will not be issued by you, but by the Financial Committee themselves."

Fuld probably knew at this time that he could not rely on South Korea, so he began to lower his posture and call all possible supporters. Not only did he find another important brother of the United States in Asia, the little devil, but he also found many people in China.

At this time, he regretted a little. When Paulson asked him to take the initiative to find a solution, why did he choke him, "I have been at the helm of Lehman for longer than you have been at the helm of Goldman Sachs"?

He shouldn't say that!

At this time, Feng Yiping received another call from Teacher Zhou, "Yiping, what do you think of the next situation? Do you think it is the right time for us to invest in Wall Street?"
