The first negotiation failed.

When he came back from the phone call, the other party was only willing to make a concession of 20 million US dollars, and Ye Dongqing did not agree, so he ended like this.

Nearly two billion US dollars were involved, and no matter where it was placed, it was not a small amount of money. Mr. Becker was determined to promote the transaction, but the price had not been negotiated yet, so he told him that he would talk to the company's shareholders first and negotiate a price that both parties could accept.

Ye Dongqing politely sent them out of his office, without making a clear statement, sat back on his office chair again and asked Assistant William to help bring the map of New York.

Mr. Becker's attitude was intriguing. He felt it was necessary to prepare alternatives. McCord had been listening to him and asked, "What do you want to do with a map? Can you fill the East River and then make a piece of land?"

"I was not prepared enough before, and they obviously didn't feel the pressure. I am still optimistic about this land of Vonardo Real Estate, but I have to create some of their competitors so that I can smoothly suppress the price, provided that the shareholders of this company are really eager to sell the land, otherwise I can only consider building the Cobra Building elsewhere."

Very good idea, often used when doing business, but it turns out to buy land, changing soups and not changing medicines.

Unlike investing in crude oil futures, there are at least land and buildings in building a building. Mr. McCourd was successfully scared by Ye Dongqing and inexplicably thought that investing in such real estate was also good. At least you don’t have to worry about when you will be trapped and fall sharply.

When he met such a young boss who was not worry-free, this guy had a hard time. After turning over, the salted fish was unwilling to turn back and retreat again. Without angering Ye Dongqing, the real estate project in Manhattan was very risky, but the cost of obtaining land was too high. At this moment, he tentatively said: "Isn't it good to go to the lower city area near the Hudson River? I have summarized the experience brought by the collapse of the World Trade Center last time. There is news that as long as the passenger plane has suspicious risks, the military's war opportunity will shoot them down. There is no reason why similar incidents will occur again. It is safe to build the building there, and there is also suitable land. You can see the New World Trade Center or the Hudson River."

"By the way, in addition to the low cost, the company's employees can also rent cheap houses. It is definitely not enough to continue to pay rent subsidies. Do you know how much you have to subsidize every month? Nearly 600,000 US dollars! It's about 7.2 million US dollars a year, which makes those landlords cheaper."

Mr. McCord said that he had a house in Midtown, so he could not get the housing subsidy issued by the company, let alone look down on this little money, and made such a proposal for Ye Dongqing's interests.

Last year, I moved the company from Wall Street to Midtown and wanted to keep the old employees, so I was willing to pay part of the rent in the name of the company. Now, with the increasing number of employees of Tamsui Investment Group, it will definitely be a loss if I continue to implement it. Although those financial white-collar workers have high salaries, their monthly salary is about one-third to half. When they enter the landlords' pockets, they mainly look at the location of the Puchuan Building and their living environment.

Moving the company to South Central Park still cannot reduce the rent expenses of employees. The rent in the downtown will be slightly cheaper, which will help retain the company's employees. Moreover, the downtown is close to the Hudson River, which is also one of the Manhattan CBDs. The land price is about 40% cheaper than the one next to South Central Park.

Ye Dongqing could also calculate this account. After hearing this, hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's see it then, I'll try it first. If it really doesn't work, go to the city, or wait for a few more years."

Building a building is an impulse, and saving money is more in his personal interests at present. Mr. McCourd thought he wanted to wait until he made more money and then decide whether to build a building depending on the situation. In fact, Ye Dongqing was talking about the subprime mortgage crisis.

If the subprime mortgage crisis occurs in this life, the storm will be enough to bring Manhattan land prices back to the level of the 1990s and even the 1980s, and buying land will be more cost-effective at that time. However, with Ye Dongqing's appearance, it is hard to say whether the subprime mortgage crisis will occur again.

A stable global economic environment is more suitable for doing business. Perhaps Ye Dongqing will take the initiative to help him step on the brakes when the subprime mortgage is overheated. It mainly depends on the specific situation in the future. At present, it is still mainly waiting and watching. Maybe you can make a fortune by shorting. Not only the subprime mortgage market itself, but also the financial tsunami caused by the subprime mortgage crisis. It will take a few years to assess the impact. After all, the subprime mortgage business is still relatively healthy and has little impact.

"It's better, I mean, Leo."

Mr. McCord stood up, tied up the buttons of the suit, and told him good news: "There is another thing I have to tell you that the Alibaba and the 40 thieves in China have agreed to accept our financing, a total of 500 million US dollars in exchange for 43% of the shares. This is the best condition we can win.

Although I don't know why you are so optimistic about it, it can at least satisfy your wish. Since I took over the position of my ex, you have mentioned it in front of me at least five times. You only have this enthusiasm when facing Apple or Amazon."

"Really?!" Ye Dongqing was surprised.

"Of course it's true. Why would I tease you for such a thing?"

"Alibaba, isn't Alibaba and the Forty Thieves?"

"...You should know that this is just a joke. If you think you can, I can sign a contract with them now, and the people from this company are now living in the hotel next door."

After hearing him, Ye Dongqing smiled: "You should have told me earlier that the company sent someone. Is there a strange-looking guy among them named Jack Ma?"

After thinking a little, Mr. McCourd affirmed: "There is no such person. The team leader studied at Yale. I had dinner with him yesterday. I originally wanted to tell you, but you just moved to your new home and asked us not to disturb you on a horse. So I think it would be better to tell you after the result is reached. Do you agree to this deal?"

"I agree directly, give me all the operating data of the company since its establishment and future development plans. The abominable guy from SoftBank of Japan disagrees with selling the shares to me. Isn't it possible for me to succeed now?"

Ye Dongqing was naturally happy because he took down another company with high growth potential, which was simply an unexpected surprise.

Since he visited Tencent, he has sent people to contact Alibaba and tried to discuss financing. Alibaba Group has been very short of money these days. It has been a long time since Masayoshi Son invested 20 million US dollars. It was originally a time to wait until next year, and Yahoo and that company should have reached a financing agreement, but now the financing time has been greatly advanced...
