Harken Morgan looked at Fang Lang with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
He could never have imagined that this young Chinese man in front of him, who was about 22 or 23 years old, would have such a sharp gaze.
Directly eyeing the real benefits of this European aid plan.
After hearing what Fang Lang said, Charles Morgan burst into laughter.
“Hahaha…good, very good, very good!
Fang, you are the most visionary young man I have ever met.
No wonder you have achieved so much at such a young age.
That little pond in Brazil isn't quite right for you.
Would you like to consider joining our Morgan family?
...
...
All the outstanding girls in my Morgan family are available for you to choose.
After you marry into our Morgan family, I can hand over one of our Morgan family's businesses to you to manage.
how?"
Eli Morgan and Harken Morgan both looked at their patriarch in shock.
I didn't expect that he would give such a high evaluation to Fang Lang.
But after thinking about it, the two of them felt relieved. After all, the other party was only 22 years old and had already achieved what he has today.
This is something they themselves can never achieve at this age.
It's impossible not to admire him.
If the Morgan family could recruit a genius like Fang Lang, it would definitely be beneficial to the development of the entire family, with no harm.
After hearing what Charles Morgan said, Fang Lang almost spit out the black tea he had just drunk.
What's the meaning?
This is to recruit me as a son-in-law!
If you had said this earlier, wouldn't I have to work so hard?
But now I have established myself, who would want to be your son-in-law?
However, if there was any free food to feed him, Fang Lang would still be happy to accept it.
“Haha… Mr. Patriarch, you’re too kind.
I am a soldier, so my main energy must be devoted to building my own army.
As for business, it is just to make the living environment at home better.
And as a Chinese, I can have more autonomy only in a small pond like Brazil, right?
If the Patriarch really values my ability,
We can also promote the common development of our two families through closer cooperation!"
Charles Morgan was not surprised by Fang Lang's refusal.
Real beasts of prey only eat what they have caught.
Charles Morgan smiled and did not continue the topic of Fang Lang entering the European financial market.
Instead, he asked about Fang Lang's other request.
"I understand that you want to enter the European financial markets.
But why would you want shares in an insurance company?
Could you please tell me which insurance company under our consortium have your eyes on?
Prudent Life Insurance, or New York Life Insurance.
These companies are not as valuable as your World Shipping.
I don’t quite understand.”
Charles Morgan did not hesitate to ask the question in his mind directly.
Instead of trying again and again like Harken Morgan.
In fact, Fang Lang prefers this way of communication.
More direct and efficient.
"Haha... To be honest, Mr. Patriarch,
My condition is just an additional condition.
With or without, it doesn’t matter!
It's just me, I just need some professional help with insurance recently,
So, I brought this up.”
Fang Lang spread his hands very frankly.
This time Fang Lang really did not lie. After all, it was very difficult for him to provide medical insurance to the workers of his company in Brazil.
Mr. Youmai from Youmai Insurance Company said he would go back and think about it.
But in the end, there was no follow-up, and it was obvious that they were not willing to take on this business.
After careful consideration, Fang Lang simply gave up hope in him and decided to start over.
But insurance companies are, after all, companies with relatively strong professionalism.
Fang Lang really doesn’t know much about this industry, so he plans to acquire or invest in an insurance company.
This time I have come to the United States and to the Morgan family, which made its fortune in finance.
Of course, I just went with the flow and put forward my own needs.
But everyone in the room obviously didn't believe Fang Lang's words.
They all looked at Fang Lang with suspicion.
Fang Lang was also very depressed. Why did no one believe him when he told the truth?
"Mr. Morgan, if you really consider me as your friend,
They are also willing to let me participate in this European aid plan.
Then I think we can be more honest.
I am not a person who likes to eat alone, so I am very willing to put my interests on the table.
I just want the part that belongs to me.
I will never covet anything that belongs to the Morgan family.
This time I came to the United States and brought my management team from the Brazilian Development Bank with me.
Therefore, I really want to take advantage of this rare opportunity to enter the European financial market.
By the way, also invest in some high-quality companies.
As for how to enter, I have two initial plans.
First, I will give up some of the shares of Global Shipping that you want in exchange for your support for my direct entry into the European market.
In addition, my Brazilian Development Bank can also invest and form a joint venture with your Morgan Consortium to establish a company that focuses on investing in the European market.
I don't mind the amount of shares.
However, I hope that I can invest in some European industries through this company's channels.
So, can you guys accept this?"
After hearing Fang Lang's words, the three of them looked at each other, and no one took the initiative to speak.
Fang Lang was not in a hurry either, as he knew that his request would definitely be beyond the other party's expectations.
However, it is by no means an excessive request that is unacceptable.
The other party must have made preparations before inviting me over.
“Fang, we are surprised by your honesty.
We understand your desire to enter the European market.
However, both of your solutions are not suitable.
It's not that we don't want to bring you along.
Rather, it is whether you enter the European market directly as the Brazilian Development Bank, or you enter it in a joint venture with us.
When all the capital is from the United States, it will stand out particularly.
I have a suggestion for you. You can acquire a small bank in the United States under the name of Global Group.
Then, this bank will work with us Morgan to establish an investment development bank.
This will dilute the color of your Brazilian capital.”
In the end, it was Charles Morgan who proposed a new plan on behalf of the Morgan family.
Following the other party's words, Fang Lang understood what he meant.
To be clear, it is not impossible to get a piece of the pie from this plan.
However, it can only be American capital.
Even if it is disguised as American capital, this must be ensured.
What about the free economy?
Fang Lang had thought about not cooperating with the Morgan family and going to Europe to invest alone.
I still can't believe that even though I brought a lot of money to invest, no one would want it.
But after thinking about it, I gave up.
After all, what he wanted was not just to make money, what he really wanted was the opportunity to invest in some high-quality European assets.
However, there are many high-quality assets that you cannot invest in just because you have money.
As for the new proposal given by the other party, it actually has no impact.
It’s just a matter of setting up a bank in the United States that is regulated by the United States.
“Yes, if it’s just about diluting the traces of Brazilian capital, I have no problem with that.
I don’t know about the shares of the new bank, we will distribute them according to the proportion of capital contribution.
Or how to distribute it.”
In the end, Fang Lang decided to cut the Gordian knot and quickly confirm the main framework, leaving the rest to the company's professionals to negotiate.
The current situation makes Fang Lang feel very passive.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Fang Lang nod in agreement without hesitation.
Harken Morgan answered directly:
"Fang, your Global Group can be the major shareholder of the new bank.
Our Morgan Consortium will make a symbolic investment in this bank, and then you will have this admission ticket.
But there is one thing I wish we could say upfront.
That is, we hope you can stand on the same side with us in the European market."
Fang Lang looked at Harken Morgan in surprise, not understanding why he disagreed with Charles Morgan.
If Harken Morgan's meaning is followed, then Fang Lang will obviously have greater autonomy.
Although Charles Morgan said that he wanted to take Fang Lang to play together,
But it is obvious that Fang Lang will not be given much freedom.
Then he turned around and looked at Charles Morgan and Eli Morgan on the other side.
There was no extra expression on their faces.
Obviously, in this matter, the Morgan family agreed to bring Fang Lang along to play.
But everyone has expectations about how the game will be played.
Harken Morgan's plan did not cross the Morgan family's bottom line.
Fang Lang is well aware of the United States' position in the world economy in the coming decades, and he has never thought of becoming an enemy of the United States.
So, I agreed directly:
“Mr. Morgan, please don’t worry!
I will not betray my friends."
"Very good, then regarding the issue of shares in Global Shipping,
I can exchange the shares of an insurance company of equal value as you requested.
As for which insurance company's shares you want to exchange for, it's up to you to decide.
We will provide you with a detailed list for you to choose from later.
I wonder if you are satisfied with this cooperation plan?"
Fang Lang was a little overwhelmed by Harken Morgan's sudden change. He didn't understand why the other party, who was a little aggressive just now, became so easy to talk to?
But this was obviously a good thing for him and he had no reason to refuse.
No matter whether the other party will make any other requests later, Fang Lang must get the benefits first.
"Of course, this kind of cooperation plan makes me truly feel the friendship of the Morgan family."
Eli Morgan and Charles Morgan also looked at Harken Morgan with some surprise.
I don’t quite understand why he, who was the most reluctant to bring Fang Lang to share the cake at the beginning, suddenly became so easy to talk to.
Fang Lang also noticed the expressions of the other two.
He was also very curious about what request Harken Morgan would make next.
After all, since he has given me such a great benefit, it is impossible not to get something from me.
So, he was quietly waiting for Harken to make his request.
He saw that the three people in the room were looking at him, as if they were waiting for his next words.
Harken Morgan laughed and said:
“Don’t look at me like that.
I just think that the clan leader is right. Fang is truly the most promising genius I have ever seen.
The investment we make today will surely yield greater returns in the near future!"
This statement made Fang Lang stunned. He never expected that the other party would suddenly say such a thing.
However, Eli Morgan on the side laughed and said:
"Haha... I've long said Fang is a genius.
Look how right I was in investing in Global Petroleum.
This should have been done a long time ago. Maybe with Fang’s participation in our European aid plan, we can get more benefits!”
