"Since you want to talk honestly, then let's talk completely frankly."
Old Yang burped.
He looked at the business elite in front of him with the critical eyes of a landowner looking at the tenant next door who wanted to borrow the family's big animals to plow the land.
“Oil Painting Magazine wants to use Mr. Cao as a leverage point to leverage hundreds of billions of capital flows throughout Asia, but it only wants to give us three melons and two dates to get rid of us. Who is not sincere? ”
Old Yang sneered twice and tapped the toothpick on the tablecloth, like a warrior inserting a shining sword in front of him.
"Shah is engaged in sports economic strategy, and he is willing to spend 300 million euros to sign Cristiano Ronaldo at the end of his career. In comparison, is our asking price really high? You want to find the leader, You can't just take out the weeds that can be seen everywhere."
Yang Papi showed a ferocious and sinister look.
That sinister and cunning tone and demeanor, when photographed, look exactly like the one in the old black-and-white movies after liberation, which begins with the statement "I heard that your daughter is fat and white, so I just happened to catch her to pay off the debt." The vicious lines, and finally amidst the cheers and applause of the people, the villain was defeated at the end and stood on ten thousand feet.
"Mr. Kruger, in Greek mythology, in order to obtain the whitest and most flawless sacred bull, I don't need to tell you what the queen of Crete did." He said in a leisurely tone. Looks like, reminded.
Oler thought for two seconds, and then his face turned green.
Lao Yang is indeed a master who has been trained through hard work at various business tables. He can make erotic jokes from yin and yang and can seamlessly switch between different cultural backgrounds.
In Greek mythology, the queen of Crete fell in love with a bull. In order to get close to it, she ordered Daedalus, the most outstanding craftsman, to make a lifelike model of a cow out of wood and use it to make luck at night. Arriving at the deserted beach, the queen got in by herself, and then
cough.
Ole felt her anus tighten and almost vomited out the dumplings she had just eaten.
"Drink a few sips of water. Don't choke."
Old Yang kindly handed over the kettle.
Oler was really a bit broken.
He hesitated whether to throw the kettle directly at the opponent, but judging from the opponent's shamelessness, I'm afraid it would be difficult to cause harm with just a kettle.
Not worth it.
Maybe this person is really capable of rolling around on the ground and making him lose money.
Oler took a deep breath and tried his best to comfort himself that this was the family's big business, so don't be the same as the other party.
"I hate your joke. But I also admit that what you said makes sense."
After calming down for a few seconds.
After all, the bloodline of the banking family played a role.
"Well, in that case"
"Let's skip all these boring trial stages.”
Oler really became quiet. He raised his head again and looked at Cao Xuan’s personal assistant opposite.
There was no smile on his face, but There is no scowl either.
This is how business negotiations go.
It doesn’t matter if you are angry or not. >True, false, false, true, come out and fool around, who is not an Oscar winner?
Oler is actually not as angry and powerless as he appears. The attitude shown by Lao Yang is actually different. It's within his expectation.
It doesn't matter.
The price he just offered is not the real bottom price.
Oler just wanted to give it a try. It's just a trial. He wants to show his business ability and gain a foothold on the board of directors of the Oil Painting Magazine.
The current representatives of the European Art Association, Sir Brown, and the Kruger Brothers Bank have the same interests, but who. It doesn’t matter who is the master or the second.
Anyway, Ole never thought that he came here to be Sir Brown’s follower and follower.
Anna. My cousin was kicked out of his family business. If he, Ole, could integrate the oil paintings for his own use, wouldn't it just show his ability?
He could save a nine-digit signing fee , why not do it.
It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t succeed.
Even if Anna shows disdain for her cousin, it doesn’t mean how miserable Oler is. .
On the contrary, he is a natural business animal, and his family education has made him have wealth and knowledge that are definitely better than those of his peers
Up to now. p>
In fact, the entire negotiation still did not exceed the rhythm he controlled.
He took the Louis Vuitton brown dandy briefcase he carried with him from the side of the seat, opened it, and took it from the briefcase. Pull out a folded piece of A4 copy paper from the inner layer.
"I will re-initiate the final quote. "
"Signing fee of US$360 million. Yes, Yang, you heard it right, it is US$360 million, which is US$30 million more than what you asked for. "
Oler drank all the red wine in his glass.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he seemed shocked.
"But the first payment will only fulfill the total amount of the contract. 13, which is US$120 million, and the remaining US$240 million will be paid in batches over the next ten years. "
"In exchange, we can give Cao Xuan up to 356 magazine shares. The European Art Annual Meeting, Kruger Brothers Bank and the Austrian National Publishing Group each contributed 11, and the remaining 026 was borne by other shareholders on the board of directors. As for the main obligations that you need to perform, they are also written below. "
Oler pushed the A4 paper in his hand along the table with a gesture that could not be refused.
"Yang, hold on tight. ”
"Including the shares, the value of the paper in your hand is definitely more than 500 million US dollars. Do you know how much this paper weighs? 75 tons, the weight of six ioer cars stacked together. In the bank vault, five Billions of dollars piled together are the weight."
He said slowly.
The moment this piece of paper was taken out of the briefcase, Oler's whole demeanor changed.
In an instant, the host and guest change positions.
He has become the leader of the conversation.
Oler has a clear understanding of the power of the agreement on paper in his hand.
Having this piece of final authorization in his briefcase is like holding the king or king in Landlord or the royal flush in Texas Hold'em.
Except for the fact that both parties just tried to negotiate with each other without sincerity.
Oler has given the most important and generous contract in the history of art. No one in his heart could refuse such Qian Hai's power.
At this moment when he revealed his trump card.
It has directly killed the negotiation game.
Lao Yang took the A4 paper in his hand, unfolded it, and read it carefully line by line.
"That's really generous."
He nodded slowly.
Lao Yang knew that this should indeed be the best price and the final bottom line that oil paintings could offer.
If it weren’t for this delicate timing, the other party’s eagerness to create an explosive news, and the right time and place, even Cao Xuan would have had almost no chance of getting such a generous offer.
Oler said slowly, "Before I came, I obtained the authorization from the Oil Painting Board of Directors. This authorization is a one-time use and is the best condition we can offer. This agreement is only valid before 1200 tonight." , expired."
"Look at the time."
Oler glanced at the Jaeger-LeCoultre moon phase watch on his wrist, "You have about ten hours left. Discussion time."
"To be honest, I think you just need to call Cao Xuan and get an answer on the spot."
Oler put the champagne on the table. Pushing it over, he said in a king-like tone, "If you like it, this bottle of wine is for you, Yang. I'm waiting for you to open it in person and toast to us."
"I don't have any opinion on the amount, and the shares are still there. We have to talk again. Three percent is too little." Lao Yang scratched his chin in embarrassment. "The stock raising line is still 5, let's add more. What a great example I just gave of the Queen of Crete."
Lao Yang felt that this guy had no sense of humor at all.
That was one of his favorite wine-table jokes. Most people would not be willing to tell them easily.
"Look, the beauty of this example is that only you have me, and I have you. Only then can both parties feel at ease."
"That's enough, I have tolerated you enough." That's so rude, please don't continue to act rude here.. "Oler waved his hands impatiently.
He was really angry.
Is this guy an idiot? Does he know how big he is holding in his hand? A contract of intent is still here, like an old lady going to the market to buy vegetables, trying to get rid of a root of celery here and a piece of garlic there.
It’s crazy.
"We can make appropriate concessions on the signing fee, but 10% of the shares"
"s, now that the stage of asking for high prices is over, if you keep talking like this, I can only think that you are deliberately humiliating Me. "
Oler tapped the table with his fingers and waved his hand frantically, "Do you really need me to explain to you that this is an absolutely unattainable condition? Don't you just want to use this as an excuse? Chips, let us relax on the signing fee. Now that you have successfully achieved your goal, don't be too greedy. It's time to be content, really. ”
Just kidding.
How much effort did Kruger Brothers Bank go through to get more than 30% of the shares, get the controlling stake, and drive my cousin out? The board of directors.
The old guy Cao Xuan wants a third of the money.
How is this possible?
Please respect the bankers< /p>
They are black-hearted capitalists, not slaves of the triangular trade. They come here to work for others while they are busy. Isn’t that nonsense?
“I’ll reiterate, This is the board's final bid. The so-called final bid means that everything on this piece of paper has no room for discussion and negotiation. You only need to answer yes or no. "
"Well, it seems that this is really the only way. "
Lao Yang shook his head with some disappointment. In the face of Oler's strength, Yang, the famous skinner, could only choose to retreat.
"So, at present, we The answer is. "
Old Yang re-folded the A4 paper in his hand and pushed it back, "Unfortunately, we reject this intention contract, no. ”
The winning expression on Oler’s face solidified.
At this moment, the young banker did not look like the queen of Crete, but looked like he was being raped by Medusa. The solidified stone statue.
“Today you invited me to have dinner. Logically speaking, you should pay for it, right? You are from a family here and are familiar with the traffic here. Secretary Eliot invited me to drink coffee at the fenstercafe, the same coffee shop where Zweig is said to have written about The World of Yesterday. You know what that should be like.”
Old Yang had already packed his things and was about to leave. Slip.
“I don’t understand. "
The dull stone statue spoke, Ole stared at the page pushed back by Old Yang, and said softly.
"What do you mean, you pay for a meal if you don't understand, that's not It’s a well-established table manners, brother, you can’t pretend to be confused after finishing your meal here, the most I can do is leave a tip."
"Yang, youYou know what you're doing. You're committing a crime by not even taking this offer back to your employer to take a look at. "Oler didn't pay any attention to this guy's interest in gagging.
"I will inform Mr. Cao, but the answer I can give you now is no, and if nothing unexpected happens, , the probability of us changing our minds before 12 o'clock is actually not very high. "Lao Yang shook his head.
"Sorry, then I don't understand even more. You don't know if this is really the final offer? There is no negotiation skills and no room for concessions. This is what oil paintings can give. base price. "
Oler stared at the A4 paper in front of him, as if staring at the top ten unsolved mysteries of the 21st century.
Confused and confused.
Old Yang This unconventional way of playing cards really confused him.
“If you still want to play hard-to-get, firstly, it’s useless, and secondly, it’s too childish. ”
“The bottom price with 100% sincerity is also the bottom line that cannot be compromised. No matter how vicissitudes of life come, you will not be able to get such an offer for the second time. I don't understand how you can refuse to agree. "
Oler shook his teeth and tried to make a last-ditch effort.
"Just like the example you mentioned, Ronaldo's joining Saudi Arabia is less than 100 million euros per season. He was 37 years old that year. After all, Shah may be able to reap the dividends of football traffic for ten years. In total, this is a very cost-effective investment. With all due respect, Cao Xuan is almost 100 years old. He really may not be able to live for another ten years. If this is not satisfactory, then what else can he want?"
"Look, Mr. Krueger, you finally found the key to the problem. Mr. Cao is almost a hundred years old, and he may not live another ten years. "
Old Yang stopped and sighed.
"So, what else can a centenarian want? 30 million US dollars more or 30 million US dollars less, it doesn't matter. Is it really that big? Even if he can spend a lot of money, if he buys a new private jet every year and throws away another one, Mr. Cao may not be able to spend all his wealth. In the end, it is just something left to the younger generation. "
"So, what motivation does he have to live in old age and get involved in the struggle between the oil painting and the Irina family? Otherwise, it is really a price beyond imagination. If you can throw money at it, we can't say no, so you are awesome. Otherwise, forget it. "
Oler was stunned for a moment.
Lao Yang patted him lightly on the shoulder.
"Although I have been in contact with Yayoi Kusama's team Not much, but I think the situation is pretty much the same. Mr. Kruger, do you really think that in such a sensitive period, Glodericht's team suddenly announced earlier that they would be absent from the European Art Annual Conference just because of declared physical reasons?
