674, not a penny will come out
"Hahaha, I didn't expect it would be me, boss!" Li Yanting said embarrassedly.
"Congratulations, I'll say you're not wrong to let you participate in the Victoria's Secret Show, you deserve this championship!"
Xie Xiaoke smiled and hugged Li Yanting, and handed her the trophy and cash check.
Of course, no one of the other participating models received a reward of 200,000 US dollars, and everyone was so happy that they didn't know what to do.
They didn't see the amount of the money, but because the money was handed to them from Xie Xiaoke, which proved that Xie Xiaoke was optimistic about them and had a chance.
It was really beyond Xie Xiaoke's expectations that Li Yanting won the championship, but since she said it, she would still give her 2 million US dollars, and it doesn't matter how she spends it. However, Xie Xiaoke has not yet accepted such a reality.
After everything was over, Xie Xiaoke sent Li Yanting back to the villa, while he and Yamamoto selected a Victoria's Secret model to enjoy the night.
...
Time passed quickly for several days, and Xie Xiaoke finally successfully pulled Columbia's boss Gris to the negotiating table with the help of Yamamoto Yokoji, Sakurai Shinnosuke, Kobayashi, Kazuya Yamanan, Tom, Lidgeway, Smith and others.
As long as the other party is willing to negotiate with him, it means that he is already a little interested in selling the company to him, so Xie Xiaoke directly bought the pills in the mall and put on his luggage and went to the place where he made an appointment.
In order to convince Gris, several shareholders, Yamamoto, Sakurai and others exhausted their efforts. Ten days ago, they went to find Gris before they participated in the Victoria's Secret show. Gris' attitude was very appraised at that time, saying that no matter what, even if they brought Columbia Film and Television Company into the coffin, they would not be able to sell the company. They finally locked the small and cut the personnel, which was saving Columbia, so why did they still sell it?
Now, except for Grace and Old Brandon, the remaining important decision-makers of the entire Columbia company are persuading him to sell the company to Xie Xiaoke so that he can guarantee the final benefit.
Yamamoto said: "Xie Xiaoke is indeed taking advantage of others, but it would be the same if it were someone else. Now someone can help us buy the company. We are already very lucky. To be honest, I am not a shareholder, but just the management of the company. If the company goes bankrupt, I can completely resign and go to another company, and ignore my business. Do you think I want to have a quarrel with you?"
His tone was very impulsive. Grace was shocked when he heard this. He was going to rebel.
"If it weren't for Sony's irresponsibleness, could Colombia be where it is today?" Gris roared angrily.
Yamamoto remained calm: "Sony is also Xie Xiaoke's enemy. You don't have to get angry about it. Even getting angry can't solve the problem. The company has not caused one or two things to this day. There are countless reasons. It's useless to analyze now. I'd better think about whether to sell the company to Boss Xie and then use the money to pay off the debt. If you drag it on, you will be out of salvation!"
Gris thought for a while: "Even so, it's still not enough to repay the debt. But then again, I'm very curious about how much money Xie Xiaoke gave you, and you all talk for him like this!"
Jiji Sakurai explained: "Now, the last way to alleviate your shareholders. As Xie Xiaoke still wants to buy it, you can sell it quickly, otherwise it will definitely collapse if this continues!"
The situation in Colombia can be summarized in one sentence: There is salvation, but there is no money!
If a rich man can invest in the company and spend a lot of money to carry out all-round transformation, keep up with the pace of the times, he will soon be able to regain his glory. After all, his foundation is very strong and his reputation is also very high, but the problem he is facing now is a capital gap and too much foreign debt, so it is impossible to attract investment again.
So Grace thought to herself that if Columbia really went bankrupt in his own hands, it would be a great shame. He spent his whole life running, but ended up like this. He was really unwilling to give it up. Selling it to Xie Xiaoke might be a wise choice. He has money and can save the company's future.
If it is not sold to Xie Xiaoke, maybe one day he will be appreciated by other men and they will use the money to save Colombia, but that is uncertain, maybe it will never happen, maybe it will happen soon, but Gris dare not bet that he is not interested in the future, but the present.
After thinking about it, Grace said, "Okay, please make an appointment for me to meet Xie Xiaoke!"
Yamamoto and others had a smile on their faces, and they were successfully brainwashed.
Today is the day when Grace and Xie Xiaoke meet. Grace came very early and waited for Xie Xiaoke to arrive in the private room. His substitute secretary also came with him. About 10 minutes later, Xie Xiaoke also arrived at the scene.
Gris was a little surprised to see Xie Xiaoke himself. His expression was similar to those who used to see Xie Xiaoke for the first time. He was impressed by his youth and appearance, because in general business, they were either fat, protruding or ugly, and there were few people as clear and distinctive as Xie Xiaoke, and he was also a strange thing.
"I admire you for a long time, thank you for yourselves, please sit down!"
Xie Xiaoke replied politely: "I have heard of Mr. Gris' name for a long time, lucky to be!"
After sitting down, after a greeting between the two sides, Xie Xiaoke said straight to the point: "Mr. Gris, I think your company leaders should have told you that I want to acquire Columbia. As for Sony, I will do it myself and you don't need to intervene. What are your opinions on this!"
Grace looked at Xie Xiaoke calmly and asked, "I only have one problem left now!"
Xie Xiaoke: "What's the problem?"
"I wonder how Boss Xie plans to develop after he acquires Columbia. Will he change his name to the Peak Age Los Angeles Branch? Or the Peak Age American Branch?" Gris didn't want to see such a thing happen, because the company's change of ownership was already the limit he could accept. If he even changed his name, it would be really miserable.
If Xie Xiaoke really wanted to change his name directly, it would be impossible for Gris to agree.
Xie Xiaoke knew what he meant and said, "Mr. Gris, please rest assured. I know your feelings for Colombia. As long as I can understand such things, I will not change the name of Colombia!"
Grace was a little skeptical: "Be serious?"
"really!"
"Then how much does Boss Xie have to invest in Colombia now!"
Xie Xiaoke said: "I can't pay a penny, but I can help you repay 70% of your debts. You can find a way to find the remaining 30%!"
