The representative sent by the Blue House was stunned at this moment! He had never expected that Li Fuzhen, the chairman of the Galaxy Group, would choose to quit!
If they really broke up, the construction project in Jeju Island would be completely over!
Although there are many transportation companies in Goryeo, there are only a handful of powerful shipping companies. Except for Hanjin Shipping, which is the largest in scale, other shipping companies are either pure cargo ships (container shipping) or too small to undertake the transportation of large quantities of construction materials and equipment.
Moreover, according to the information they received, many shipping companies also raised their prices after learning about Hanjin Shipping's actions, as if they were trying to catch up with Hanjin Shipping.
…
The Blue House representative quickly said that they just wanted to help mediate and had absolutely no intention of letting Hanjin Shipping Company operate at a loss. They would also report Chairman Li Fuzhen's demands and attitude to their superiors truthfully, and I believe Mr. Daejong would understand!
Seeing that her tough stance finally won the Blue House representative's concession, Li Fuzhen was obviously relieved. These words and routines were mentioned by Zhang Junfeng when he discussed with her before, but at that time she felt that if she expressed her opinions according to such "lines", she might offend the Blue House representative.
Now it seems that the initiative is still in the hands of the Galaxy Group~!
…
Cheong Wa Dae, inside the President’s office.
The representative who went to the Galaxy Group for negotiations reported to Mr. Da Zhong that the negotiations were unsuccessful and that they were even outmaneuvered by the other party. He then stood by with a nervous look on his face, waiting for the next instruction.
"...I didn't expect that the daughter of Lee Kun-hee would have such courage. It seems that I underestimated others!" Mr. Da Zhong sighed with emotion, his tone somewhat helpless.
Before this, he had never thought that Zhang Junfeng, the head of Comet Capital who had spoken so eloquently and had so many wise ideas in front of him, actually had such a backup plan.
No wonder they did not participate in the previous Jeju Island tourism project bidding conference, it turns out they were well prepared!
"...Mr. Da Zhong, what should we do next? SK Group and Yuetian Group are still waiting for our news...", the assistant at the side reminded him.
After undergoing restructuring and reform, the strength of these large domestic enterprises and chaebols has not decreased but increased, and there are even signs that they are about to transcend the control of the Blue House.
If this matter cannot be handled properly, I am afraid that the prestige of the Blue House will suffer a certain degree of damage.
Mr. Da Zhong glanced at the assistant who spoke calmly, and then said in a low voice, "Humph! When will the Blue House give these businessmen an explanation?!"
Seeing that Mr. Da Zhong suddenly showed signs of anger, the assistant realized that he had said something wrong and bowed and apologized. He did not expect that the president, who usually had a kind attitude, would suddenly lose his temper at this time. It was really an unexpected disaster!
“Tell them Galaxy Group’s opinion and let them solve the problem themselves. If they fail to complete the construction of the Jeju Island tourism project on schedule, they will need to pay liquidated damages according to the contract!” Mr. Da Zhong said with a smile.
"Yes, Mr. Da Zhong!" After hearing the order given by Mr. Da Zhong, the assistant hurriedly spoke up and agreed respectfully.
Watching his assistant and subordinates leave, Mr. Dazhong smiled meaningfully.
At the beginning, many members of the think tank suggested that since those companies had already advanced the funds, the penalty clause should be abolished or the amount of liquidated damages should be reduced to the minimum, which would attract more companies to participate.
However, he went against all odds and still added all the compensation clauses for breach of contract. Now it seems that this move was completely correct!
Otherwise, if problems arise in the project's advancement and there are no breach of contract clauses to constrain these companies, I'm afraid these guys will most likely quit now!
…
SK Group, inside the chairman’s office.
Listening to the latest news reported by his subordinates, Chairman Cui Taiyuan gnashed his teeth in hatred, "Ashiba! Are those representatives sent to negotiate with the Galaxy Group brainless? How could they be so easily controlled by that woman?"
"She said that the shipping costs will go up if they increase. She said that if she doesn't accept operating at a loss, then she can stop accepting the transportation orders from Jeju Island? Are they just sitting there doing nothing?"
Hearing their president's roar, the subordinates were helpless. They were just delivering a message, but they were blamed and scolded. They were so unlucky! "...The Blue House must have some concerns. After all, the Galaxy Group has the Five Star Group and Comet Capital behind it. If they push too hard, it is very likely that something worse will happen."
"Mr. Da Zhong has always been cautious. It is reasonable that he will not make enemies with the Galaxy Group for the benefit of our companies..." Director Jin on the side spoke up at the right time to express his analysis and opinions.
After hearing what the other party said, Cui Taiyuan was still quite annoyed, but he was obviously much calmer.
No matter how powerful the Galaxy Group is, he has ways to create trouble for the other party, and even make the other party pay a heavy price. It's just that the Comet Capital behind it is very difficult to deal with, especially Zhang Junfeng, who has not taken any advantage of this hateful guy so far, and has suffered a lot!
Cui Taiyuan was very annoyed when he thought of this, but it was obviously impossible to make Zhang Junfeng and Comet Capital pay the price at this stage.
Unless the big shot that Shin Dongbing is hooking up with can make up his mind to go to war with Comet Capital, then we might see the time when this guy will have bad luck~!
…
Inside the office of Comet Capital Chairman.
Zhang Junfeng estimated the time and thought that it was around 7-8 o'clock in the evening in America. He then picked up the phone and dialed the number of "King of Understanding" who he had not contacted for a long time.
What Zhang Junfeng didn't expect was that the other party hung up on both of his calls. It wasn't until the third time that the other party answered the call.
"Although I don't know who you are, I will be very angry if you contact me at this time without anything important~!" Trump spoke emotionally into the phone after answering the call.
Zhang Junfeng was stunned for a few seconds, then said meaningfully, "It seems that after Mr. Trump turned around the loss situation with his previous investment, his temper has also been getting worse~!"
Hearing the familiar voice coming from the phone, Trump looked at the caller ID on his phone with some suspicion, and found that it was a relatively unfamiliar yet inexplicably familiar number. Then he quickly thought about the corresponding person in his mind.
After several seconds of not being able to figure out who the other party was, Trump smiled awkwardly and shamelessly asked about Zhang Junfeng's identity. When he found out that the caller was Zhang Junfeng from Comet Capital, Trump quickly changed his tone and his attitude became much kinder.
"I'm so sorry, I've been so busy lately that I haven't been able to respond right away. Is there anything I can do for Mr. Zhang Junfeng?" Trump asked shamelessly, as if the arrogant guy had nothing to do with him.
After hearing what Trump said, Zhang Junfeng did not pursue the matter further. Instead, he told him that he was optimistic about the American real estate industry in the future and consulted him about some key steps and information involved in buying and selling real estate.
Although Trump had doubts in his heart, he still patiently answered them one by one.
After all the questions Zhang Junfeng had asked were answered, Trump asked, "Mr. Zhang Junfeng, you said you are optimistic about the real estate market in the United States. Could it be that... did you get any inside information?"
Zhang Junfeng smiled and joked, "There is indeed some news. In the future, the US government will introduce a series of measures to stimulate the domestic real estate market. If you have any ideas, you can try it~!"
After learning about Trump's real estate operations, Zhang Junfeng smacked his lips in disdain.
If he follows his previous practice, even if the real estate industry continues to recover, it will be difficult to earn considerable profits in the short term! However, Zhang Junfeng is very clear that there is a once-in-a-lifetime operation opportunity in September this year.
As long as they can grasp the timing of investment, they are very likely to reap billions or even tens of billions of dollars in profits in the second half of this year! The real estate investment plan mentioned to Mato Walsh before may not yield as high returns as expected. It seems that we need to optimize the operation mode of real estate investment in the future to achieve the established goals!
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
…
While Zhang Junfeng was thinking, Trump was eager to try, "Mr. Zhang Junfeng, if I want to buy back the real estate projects I have sold, can Comet Capital provide a considerable low-interest loan?"
In Trump's mind, if he could really buy back the real estate projects he had sold, and then regain his former glory through real estate projects, it would be too tempting for him! It is said that people cannot fall in the same place twice, but many people do not have the opportunity to start over. Trump wants to stand up again from where he fell, so that those guys who once took advantage of him will open their eyes and take a good look. Trump has stood up again on the "ruins"~!
Zhang Junfeng thought for a while before answering, "The loan that Comet Capital can provide will not exceed 1 billion US dollars, and the annual interest rate can be controlled at 6%. It can only be provided to you for a maximum of 5 years, but it requires certain collateral and if there is an overdue situation..."
Hearing what Zhang Junfeng mentioned, Trump was somewhat overjoyed. After all, being able to get such a large loan was completely beyond his expectations!
…
After Zhang Junfeng hung up the phone and was about to sit back on the sofa to rest, he realized that Wu Xiuying had been sitting on the chair opposite him, looking at him quietly.
"How long have you been waiting here?" Zhang Junfeng asked casually, then slowly picked up the coffee beside him and took a sip.
"I guess I came in when the boss went to the window to answer the phone, right?" Wu Xiuying said with a sly look in her eyes and a smile.
Zhang Junfeng couldn't help but roll his eyes, then said helplessly, "...Since you've heard it, remember to send a fax to the branch in America to let them know and have them follow the instructions."
"By the way, is there anything going on here?" Zhang Junfeng paused and quickly asked Wu Xiuying. According to his usual habit, Wu Xiuying would only come over when there was something that required his decision.
"Boss, representatives from Morgan Investment Bank and Goldman Sachs are here to discuss important matters~!" Wu Xiuying said seriously.
When Zhang Junfeng heard that representatives from Morgan Investment Bank and Gaosheng Group came to him at the same time, he was stunned for a moment, but then he quickly reacted.
If he guessed correctly, it should be that Mato Walls and Nacho Morgan communicated and reached an agreement before they sent people over together.
But since the other party has come, the corresponding procedures still need to be followed.
What Zhang Junfeng did not expect was that when the three parties appeared in the conference room, Zhang Junfeng saw two particularly familiar faces among the representatives from the two companies.
Leon John from Goldman Sachs and Anne Hathaway-Morgan from Morgan Investment Bank both smiled brightly when they saw Zhang Junfeng.
…
As the meeting progressed, Zhang Junfeng learned about the amount of money that Goldman Sachs and Morgan Investment Bank were planning to invest in Hong Kong's real estate industry. Goldman Sachs was mobilizing approximately US$2 billion, while Morgan Investment Bank was investing a much more generous amount of US$4 billion.
According to their previous plan, they need to invest about 100 billion Hong Kong dollars, which means they still have a gap of at least 7 billion US dollars.
Such a huge amount made Zhang Junfeng frown. If he really used so much money, the investment opportunity in the second half of the year would probably be greatly affected~!
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Junfeng said in a firm tone, "Since there are no problems with Goldman Sachs and Morgan Investment Bank, let's settle the investment amount. Comet Capital will invest 7 billion US dollars to join this plan."
"However, the plan to invest in Hong Kong's real estate industry cannot be completed overnight. We at Comet Capital will divide this money into two parts, investing 3.5 billion US dollars each year to continuously influence and boost Hong Kong's real estate market~!"
Hearing what Zhang Junfeng said, the representatives of the two companies were a little surprised, but after whispering with their colleagues, they nodded solemnly, which was considered an agreement.
Seeing that the matter was finalized, Zhang Junfeng also proposed the next plan, which was for the three of them to set up a joint venture real estate company to officially enter the Dragon Country Hong Kong. Of course, the first thing to do after going to Hong Kong is to visit the officials of Hong Kong according to their previous plan and obtain their support, so that the next plan can be carried out smoothly!
