Chapter 1641 He is worth it (Second update, please subscribe)
Just as Zhu Xianhai was thinking about another group of people jumping out from there, a plane from Mexico City landed at Zhongdu Airport. Among the passengers was a mercenary from North America named Curris Callum. He entered the country from California by train, and then took a Royal Airlines flight from Mexico City to Zhongdu.
After completing customs formalities, he called the middleman, but no one answered. Since he called earlier than the agreed time, he decided to wait a little longer at the airport. He sat down at a table by the window in the airport restaurant, overlooking the wing of the terminal. He sat there anxiously waiting, smoking one cigarette after another; while drinking coffee, he watched supersonic passenger planes flying to various countries in Europe and the world continue to soar into the blue sky.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Callum called again. He also got the name of a hotel from the middleman and wrote it down, then got a taxi in front of the airport building.
When he got on the taxi to the hotel, a young woman in a white dress got on a large black SUV. They arrived in Zhongdu on the same flight.
The car quickly got onto the highway and merged into the traffic. The woman in the car occasionally flipped through the documents in her hand, her brows sometimes furrowed.
"It was actually acquired,"
After a long time, the woman let out a long sigh, which seemed to carry a sense of relief, but also a hint of unwillingness.
"As long as that project achieves a breakthrough, then..."
The woman's sigh made the secretary in the front seat look at her in the rearview mirror, but she didn't say anything.
The car kept driving like this, and after about an hour, it stopped in front of a building.
After the car stopped and the door was opened, the woman in the car did not get out immediately, but sat there in deep thought, as if she was thinking about something.
"Well, that's all I can do."
After thinking for a while, the woman got out of the car, walked into the lobby of the building with her long legs, and walked towards the elevator. When they approached the elevator, they saw that the elevator door was about to close. The bodyguard following the woman immediately stepped forward and pressed the elevator door open.
"Ding" the elevator door suddenly opened again, making Wen Yi, the security captain in front of Zhu Xianhai, immediately alert. After the elevator door opened, he saw someone pressing the elevator button.
We are colleagues.
Zhu Xianhai, who was thinking about something, also raised his head. Accompanied by the sound of high heels clicking, a young girl walked in. She was tall and looked no shorter than Zhu Xianhai in boots.
However, the woman had a small face that was slightly inconsistent with her tall figure. Her cheek, which was not much bigger than the palm of her hand, looked very beautiful.
It's not just how it looks, it's how it really is.
It's her!
"Hello, Miss Joanna."
Joanna, who had just walked into the elevator, was full of surprise. She looked at Zhu Xianhai and asked unsurely after two seconds:
"Are you Mr. Zhu from Wells Fargo Investments?"
"Yes, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."
Looking at this stunningly beautiful woman in front of me, who would have thought that she was the head of Tomato Home, and was known as the "No. 1 Beauty in the Business World" in the Chinese circle.
However, in the eyes of the outside world, this is also the reason for the decline of Tomato Home. Ten years ago, the founder of Tomato Home, Joe Kangle, and his Mexican wife were flying a private plane when it crashed into the rainforest of the Yucatan Peninsula. Both died in the accident. Joanna, who was studying at the University of South China at the time, had to drop out of school to inherit the family business and took over Tomato Home. In the following years, a series of changes occurred in the company's top management to fight for control. Although Joanna retained the position of chairman, the company also declined in the fierce internal struggle.
However, for a 17-year-old girl, it was extremely rare to be able to keep the company under the watchful eyes of the company's founding elders. And as far as Zhu Xianhai knew, in the next few years, it was this 27-year-old woman in front of him who brought Tomato Home to glory.
This was not a conclusion drawn from deduction, but from the products in the mall - two years later, the smart phone launched by Tomato Home successfully led the world trend. Even without guessing, Zhu Xianhai could imagine what kind of revolution it would bring about.
Zhu Xianhai was looking at Joanna, and Joanna was also looking at him, and soon, the two entered his office.
"Miss Qiao, please have some tea."
After taking the teacup and smelling the tea, Joanna knew that she liked Wuyi black tea. She took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said.
"No wonder Mr. Zhu was able to acquire my company. He did such a meticulous job."
“When investing, you always have to do your homework.”
Zhu Xianhai smiled.
"How did you convince them to transfer their shares to you?"
Joanna looked at Zhu Xianhai and asked directly, he only acquired a part of the shares through the market, and the reason why he was able to control the shares was entirely because several founding partners transferred their shares to him.
“It’s nothing more than writing a check.”
Zhu Xianhai spoke up.
"40% of your company's shares are held by three investment institutions, which are the investors when your father founded the company. In this stock market crash, their losses are heavy. After all, in the past decade or so, Internet companies have always been the darlings of investors. In order to recover the losses and stabilize the confidence of investors, they must do something, so I wrote a few checks."
It's just a few checks. Zhu Xianhai said it very easily. How could it not be easy? It is indeed the case.
"Mr. Zhu's words are so easy."
Joanna said bluntly.
"A check with a 20% premium. Even I didn't know my company would be worth that much."
In fact, how could Joanna not know how the other party acquired the company? Those investment institutions sold their shares, and the company was acquired by Wells Fargo Investment at a high premium. Once the news came out, the company's stock price rose a lot.
But in Joanna's opinion, this is not a good thing, because the purpose of these investors' acquisitions is never for the company, but for profit. What will they do next?
The company must be split up. Only by splitting up can they recover their investment. A huge enterprise will be split up and sold overnight, and then disappear completely. These people are the most greedy predators in the market, and the guy in front of me with a smile is such a person!
Facing the woman's question, Zhu Xianhai, who had already had a confrontation with her in the simulator, said seriously.
“Because it’s worth it!”
