Seeing Tao Zhiming smiling and talking among a group of middle-aged and elderly men, Monica Bellucci remembered what he said, "It's boring to chat with them," and she couldn't tell the truth from the lie.

He is obviously very involved now, could it be said that this is the so-called "performance"?

But she was not allowed to think too much. When she was sitting there alone, other men started to come over and invite her to dance.

At this moment, Monica Bellucci suddenly no longer rejected him and entered the dance floor with him.

Then he looked at Tao Zhiming while shaking slightly.

He didn't pay attention at all and was still chatting with those people.

"...So, Mr. Tao is a genius in finance?" Someone sighed, "Is it possible to accumulate wealth so quickly in the financial market? It is unheard of."

Tao Zhiming smiled modestly: "Perhaps the strength accumulated by Neon was underestimated due to strict financial control, so it exploded violently now, and I happened to be very lucky in this opportunity. However, I

It should not be counted as the one who made the most profit in this opportunity. In my opinion, since many funds have made huge profits in the past two years, everyone’s judgments are too optimistic.”

After that, he said mysteriously: "Since I have the chance to meet you all today, let me share my little judgment. Maybe there will be a violent downward fluctuation around the end of the month."

Including Hector, several people who were paying attention to financial investments were stunned. Then someone couldn't help laughing: "How could it be? Although the major stock markets are on the rise now, it is not an exaggeration."

"So, it's just a personal judgment." Tao Zhiming raised a champagne glass, "I heard that Turin is the sweetest place in Idali. I'm going to taste the chocolate dessert prepared by Mr. Paul."

Hector, who knew Tao Zhiming better, also followed him and asked in a low voice: "Do you really think so? Around the end of this month?"

"I can only say that the possibility is relatively high." Tao Zhiming looked at him with a smile, "Why, with the money you gave to Soros, do you know what strategies he adopted?"

"...I don't know." Hector said hesitantly, "But I still have a small fund of 5 million, so I am trying it myself."

"Oh." Tao Zhiming understood. Of course he was buying more, not short.

Short selling is not a common practice among retail investors, at least not in this era.

"What are the chances?"

Tao Zhiming was eating a piece of white chocolate and looked at him speechlessly.

How could I say this to you? Are you talking about a percentage number?

But this is a good sign, indicating that Hector already admires his investment strategy, so he is worried about gains and losses.

He said one more word to others, just to think of two effects: if someone's heart is moved, then the army of short sellers may have a little more power, and Tao Zhiming will make more profits by then; if they are not moved, then wait until Black Week

As soon as they came out, they began to worship Tao Zhiming.

Don't look at everyone talking about history, literature, and art with airs, but they are actually doing business at heart.

These topics are nothing more than used to create topics other than money and to distinguish themselves from some ordinary people.

Although there are some who really love it, at least those people will not appear on this occasion tonight.

He tasted the chocolate casually in his mouth and glanced at Monica Bellucci, who was slowly moving on the dance floor. The woman also glanced at him.

Tao Zhiming only thought it was funny, and just now he said he didn't want to dance.

Not far away, he saw Paul Vitali and Teresa Betty who were looking at him from time to time, so he put down the champagne glass and walked over: "Mr. Paul, thank you for preparing the reception dinner. Let's find a quiet place to talk.

Business?"

"Mr. Tao, please come this way!" Paul Vitali has been waiting for a long time.

But he still took Tao Zhiming first and said to everyone in the room: "Mr. Tao was in Tokyo four days ago, and then went all the way to Los Angeles and New York. After arriving in Idali this morning, he was busy all day long. Tonight

It is a great honor to entertain you all. Please continue to enjoy the wine and food. Mr. Tao and I will excuse you."

The implication is that they may not show up later. If you want to play, continue playing. If you don’t want to play, the dinner can be regarded as over now.

Tao Zhiming shook hands with them one by one, and naturally Kumina Maehara gave her a business card, and then went upstairs with Paul Vitali without looking back.

Gio Gucci looked at the other people who were already wanting to leave, and muttered: "What a boring party... Miss Monica, will you come back to Milan with me?"

Monica Bellucci shook her head calmly: "It's a bit late. There should be guest rooms in Azimut Manor, right? Miss Teresa?"

"Of course." Theresa, who stayed to greet them first, was eager for them to leave quickly so that she could attend the most important negotiation.

Gio Gucci looked at her deeply, then greeted other friends and changed his mind to go to Turin.

He felt that tonight's party was quite boring, as if it was just to help them get to know the Oriental man.

But since there is no special cooperation, there is no need to get to know him.

The guests left one after another, and Teresa entertained Key Holder, Burn Stanley, and Hector Thomson who had come from afar, and asked people to lead them to the guest rooms in the manor.

But Monica Bellucci wanted to stay, which surprised Teresa.

"Miss Monica, please follow her to the guest room to rest. There will be a car to take you back to Milan tomorrow morning."

"Excuse me." She asked directly, "Wait a minute, will Mr. Tao come down again?"

Teresa looked at her doubtfully: "Are you staying here because of him?"

"I have some questions to ask him." Monica nodded straightforwardly.

"That's right..." Teresa smiled, "Then, is it okay to arrange your guest room next to Mr. Tao? You will know when he comes over, and I will tell him too."

"Thank you."

Monica didn't care about the playfulness in her eyes and walked inside with the people in the manor.

Going back with Gio Gucci, there was a long boring time on the way, and then there was definitely another presumptuous invitation.

It's better to stay here, and I am really confused about this oriental man's reaction.

…

Tereza went upstairs and there was conversation going on in the room.

She sat on a single sofa on the side of Azimut, and heard Paul Vitali say in embarrassment: "Mr. Tao, please trust us, Azimut. When we accept this order, since you hired KPMG

Now that Mr. Barron is here, of course he should know that the contract will specify the responsibilities that we, Azimu Beti, should bear."

Tao Zhiming shook his head and said: "Nearly 200 million yuan is enough for me to build a shipyard by myself, hire the best team, and purchase the best materials to build it. Mr. Paul, of course I also understand that a mature team has its advantages.

, but even to Azimut, this yacht of mine is still yours.

This is the largest yacht we have never built. Your company also needs to conduct research and development of many new technologies. In order to build this yacht, the dock needs to be expanded. You should also need funds. I am just trying to ensure that this yacht can be completed on time.

, and focus on its build quality.”

He looked at other Azimut executives and said calmly: "What's more, I will need more yacht orders in the future. Compared with the benefits I will bring to your company, a mere 10% of the shares

, I don’t think it’s an excessive requirement. It shouldn’t be a special case for Neon Enterprises to establish a certain shareholding relationship between upstream and downstream companies, right?”

Paul Vitali and the other directors of Azimut looked at each other, and it was just like Theresa said. After getting down to business, the first thing they cared about was whether they could hold shares and join Azimut's board of directors.

A vice president spoke up: "Mr. Tao, for the future orders you mentioned, can you sign and confirm the purchase from Azimu Beti now?"

Tao Zhiming smiled slightly: "The current order of nearly 200 million yuan is not enough for me to make such a request?"

Barron Berg felt happy, this trip was really the right one.

Who knew he not only had a total of 10 yachts, including a superyacht, to negotiate with Azimut, but also an investment requirement?

He likes this God of Wealth more and more.

"...Mr. Tao, we at Azimu Beti have sufficient funds for the investment required to build this super yacht." Paul Vitali was really reluctant, "If there is no funding gap, we will seek external investment.

investment, our board of directors has different opinions on that."

"In short, this is my bottom line." Tao Zhiming said decisively.

Paul Vitali gritted his teeth and then said: "We can give Mr. Tao a promise. Based on the final quotation, we can give Mr. Tao a discount of 3 million yuan. In addition, the equipment that needs to be equipped on this super yacht

Three small and medium-sized yachts and four motorboats can be donated by Azimut."

"Mr. Paul, I don't care about those things. What I care about is that I can successfully build my Bravo Peach. Therefore, being able to invest in shares and appoint a director to ensure this in the next three years is my bottom line.

.After the yacht is delivered, if your company wants to buy back my shares, I will happily agree."

Of course Tao Zhiming knew that they would not be short of funds. As long as they signed this order, they could borrow a lot of funds from the banks here to do things.

But although he set out the conditions for the shares to be repurchased after the yacht was delivered, Paulo Vitali and others knew very well that by then the valuation of Azimut would not be comparable to that of the 10%.

Compared with the dividends of the shares within three years and the future value, the price is reduced by 3 million yuan and some small and medium-sized yachts and motorboats are given away, which is not worth mentioning.

Seeing their silence, Tao Zhiming looked at Barron Berg, and then said leisurely: "Actually, I have made two preparations. Although I had a great time communicating with Miss Teresa in Neon, I want to

The yacht we built is indeed beyond your company's current technical level and construction capabilities. I have also considered that your company may be resistant to accepting my investment. Therefore, I have completely transferred RIVA from Mr. Hector.

Acquired it."

This statement was so shocking that the faces of Paul Vitali and other Azimut executives changed color for a moment.

"Mr. Tao, you have acquired RIVA, are you planning to build it yourself?" Paul Vitali couldn't help asking. This may not only mean that a super order has disappeared, but also that his future orders will be purchased from

Go over to RIVA. In fact, now that he has acquired RIVA, will future orders... still be given to Azimut?

Tao Zhiming smiled and said: "What I am passionate about is to engage in the customer-oriented yacht sales and rental business in Asia. It's just that my plan in Neon is too huge, and I may need hundreds or thousands of yachts in the future.

production capacity, I have to prepare early. So whether it is acquiring RIVA or investing in Azimut, this meets my needs. Of course, as long as there is a very stable yacht supplier in the future, Azimut Betty wants to

RIVA has also been acquired together, and I am not opposed to it."

Paul Vitali and others looked at each other. If RIVA was to be annexed, wouldn't his total say in Azimut become even greater?

Or will it take a huge price to swallow RIVA?

If all his shares are cleared, will he choose another partner?

Tao Zhiming leisurely said: "Everyone, Neon and other regions in the Asia-Pacific are the new growth poles of the yacht industry. At present, I have both the strength and the willingness to do this. Azimut is willing to cooperate with me to open up this blue ocean.

Please consider whether to become the true king of the world's yachting industry or stick to the 'purity' of the board of directors."

Teresa's eyes were filled with brilliance as she recalled his powerful and surging feeling.

Tao Zhiming continued: "You don't have to doubt that I am using the superyacht order as bait. If you can make up your mind, we can sign the order tomorrow. My first payment can be paid to Azimut immediately.

If you stick to your point of view, you may hear news from other manufacturers such as Ferretti in the near future. In my opinion, I really don’t understand why you must reject my request.”

Teresa thought to herself, you still don’t know? Isn’t it because after Azimut acquired Betty, the right to speak of this 10% share became more subtle?

As expected, Paul Vitali glanced at Teresa in a strange way and heard her say: "Why don't we discuss it again. Tomorrow morning, we should be able to give Mr. Tao a clear answer."

Tao Zhiming nodded: "As for the current valuation of Azimu Beti, Mr. Barron is also here. I don't object to a slight premium. Then I hope there will be good news tomorrow morning, and I won't have to continue.

Contact other manufacturers."

Seeing him standing up, Paul Vitali couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Tao, if Azimu Beti agrees to your request, what are your plans for RIVA's future after the order is handed over to us?"

"Even if Azimut becomes the king of the yacht industry in the future, the Neon yacht market still cannot be monopolized by the Azimut family." Tao Zhiming said calmly, "I want to build a yacht homeport in Tokyo, and naturally there are friends who are optimistic about my future.

Although RIVA was acquired by me, it does not belong to me alone. Therefore, RIVA’s future will have its own special customer channels. I think this does not conflict with Azimut’s business strategy, right? After all, you originally

It’s also a competitive relationship.”

He spoke vaguely, but I believe people at Azimu can understand.

After all, if Teresa is right, he will spend more than one billion yuan to build a yacht home port in Tokyo, and there will be many people in Neon who want to get a piece of his pie.

To him, RIVA is a direct descendant, and Azimut must also become a direct descendant in order to hope to gain a "fair competition" status in the future neon market.

The message "not only belongs to him" conveys a subtle connotation. Perhaps the yacht home port in Tokyo, a project with a land price of more than one billion yuan alone, does not only belong to him.

Although "Forbes" believes that his personal assets exceed 1 billion yuan, since he is not classified into the category of more than 2 billion yuan, his wealth is not enough to truly and completely build the yacht home port.

Maybe his acquisition of RIVA and investment in Azimut were actually motivated by selfish motives.

After all, a yacht home port must be full of yachts to be decent, and these yachts will eventually need to be purchased.

Does he want to sell the yacht through RIVA and Azimut and get a share of the dividends?

After sending them to the door, Paul Vitali heard Teresa whisper to Tao Zhiming: "There is also a guest you chatted with before. Your curiosity seems to be aroused. I arranged for her to stay in your house."

Next door, she should still be waiting for you."

Tao Zhiming looked at her a little surprised, and saw a meaningful smile on her face.

He laughed dumbly, shook his head, and replied: "I know."

It seems that he has a high regard for that woman. She seems to have lived a full life. In fact, she is not just a 23-year-old woman?

When they walked away, Paul Vitali couldn't help but ask: "Who are you talking about?"

"The most eye-catching woman in the evening came with Mr. Chiao." Teresa said then, and then returned to the room with them.

After a while, all the other directors of Azimut came in.

Theresa was very confident, because the Betty family had already negotiated a reliable solution. This solution was based on the fact that Theresa had obtained a special authorization.

In a ten-year battle, don’t be obsessed with immediate short-term interests!

At this time, Tao Zhiming discovered that Azimu had arranged for him to stay in a separate small holiday villa. However, Kumina Maehara and others were arranged in other small villas.

Ogata Toshio insisted on staying with him, even if he slept on the sofa on the first floor.

So after he followed Tao Zhiming into the door, he stared blankly at a very charming woman sitting on the sofa where he was ready to sleep.
