Chapter 149 Partnership to Earn More
The next afternoon, the open-air cafe in Beverly Hills.
Yang Ming met the investment banker who was enthusiastic about contacting him, but unlike the middle-aged conspirator in his forties and fifties, the guy looked only in his thirties. Perhaps because of the white man's old age, he might be the same age as him.
While thinking this way, it did not prevent him from shaking hands with the other party enthusiastically: "You must be Mr. Krugman, I am Yang, this is my translator and assistant."
Yang Ming also brought an interpreter. Although he passed the oral language, he could not guarantee that all nouns were known.
Krugman discovered: "You are as young as your name."
"Isn't it good to be young?" Yang Ming said a pun.
Krugman sat down with a smile: "Youth is great, especially for people in my career, energy and vitality are always the most important thing. I don't want the engine to keep up without enjoying enough success and passion."
"You are so interesting! Are people in the investment banking field so... talented?" Yang Ming wanted to say hesitant, but he didn't know how to express it.
My impression of the investment banker is that in the movies, these people are all notorious black hands such as powerful, instigating the stock market, sniping currency, and starting to worsen the financial crisis.
"I'm a talented person, and I enjoy this lifestyle of flying around the world to find opportunities. I've been fascinated by China and North America over the years," Krugman said.
Americans are confident and can't say anything humble. They are young and have a high status. In their opinion, they are a kind of capital that is worth showing off.
Yang Ming felt a little bit of the other person's personality, and according to the translation's brief prompt, "Krugman" should be a Jewish surname. As expected, these people are very smart in business.
Because Yang Ming believes that Sun Wenrong must have made it clear to him that the company will not have any financing ideas in the near future, so his background may be more than representing the investment banking field.
Let’s talk about what investment banks do first? It’s mainly about looking for potential listed companies, helping real economy companies to raise funds, underwriting IPOs and other IQ tasks.
When an investment bank becomes an intermediary, then the fund and venture capital are the representatives of the buyer. The investment bank makes the difference in transactions and draws transaction fees, which is the most intuitive profit behavior.
So Yang Ming asked casually: "Mr. Krugman, what do you want to do?"
"Before this, I want to say that your hangover is great!" Krugman said seriously. "I have tried a lot in China. If it weren't for not being able to take it out of the country, it would be a necessity for my nightclub life."
"Thank you for your praise!" Yang Ming nodded with a smile.
"So I saw it here that it is not limited to a certain country, but should be a larger scope, a consumption feast for all mankind! You must have asked yourself and know that it can, but you still lack too many things! I am bluntly saying that based on the current business and political relationship, there will be many detours to take this step well."
"You have also said that it is a feast of humanity. There will always be solutions and there will always be people who prefer cooperation." Yang Ming didn't want the other party to appear so arrogant.
"I can understand that you are currently hostile to external capital, but often this hostility will keep them from being kind. Everyone is trying to make money. You do it yourself, make one billion in three years, and everyone participates, make five billion in three years."
Yang Ming laughed: "Is the senior management relying on this kind of deception?"
The translator passed on the words, and Krugman laughed when he heard this: "This is just a very simple truth. I said it, you agree with it, and then the following is our focus."
"Please say it."
"I can do it!" he said to Yang Ming.
The words suddenly were very short, but full of confidence.
"I am not just an investment banker. I am involved in family-style fund management and have a deep stance in the pharmaceutical and retail fields. We hold stakes in CVS, the largest pharmaceutical retail giant in the United States. With your product level, only you are out of stock and there is no market that we cannot supply!"
"And I believe that for now, there is no one in the United States who knows your technology better than me and understands your value. I went to drink it myself and almost got married by a local woman after a one-night stand!"
"What the hell is behind?" Yang Ming was surprised.
"This is another story of excessive romanticism." Krugman smiled, a little unfair, but it also broke the dullness of the topic and the atmosphere became relaxed.
Maybe it was his way of dealing with him. Yang Ming bragged about him and could not believe him as soon as he met. After all, he was a fellow (scammer), investment banks were scammers, funds were scammers, and everyone was with each other.
So he needs more: "I ask you, how much value do you think this technology can achieve?"
This is a very sudden problem. If you say it is low, the other party’s enthusiasm may fade and it will be difficult to negotiate in the future. If you say it is high, it will inevitably make yourself passive. What if you negotiate at this high price?
Krugman said after a little thought: "In the global alcohol consumption group, your company's president is committed to letting 50% of people choose your products, and our existence is to promote it to the remaining 50% of people."
Yang Ming laughed, which was an answer, but: "I didn't say that I would definitely not accept investment, but I need strength and proof!"
"OK, I understand and understand it completely." Krugman was not anxious either. "We can become friends first and understand each other. No matter from any angle, I am a loyal user of your hangover."
“I love making friends!”
Yang Ming also affirmed this. Needless to say, the role of communication is the role of communication. Even if it fails, there will be another way. In the future, he will not only have this business.
Regardless of the true or falsehood of his words, at least with the strength Krugman said at the moment, he really satisfied himself. If it is true, cooperation is not impossible.
Yang Ming is in a foreign country, and his thinking patterns and ways of doing things are different. The key is that in terms of current Sino-US relations, a certain corn squid is too worthy of being beaten. For technology from China, it is inevitable that he will be selfish.
It is difficult to bypass the United States. After all, everyone knows that Europe is its younger brother, and the European and American markets have the greatest consumption potential. Without them, it would be equivalent to a half of the market being cut.
No one will be unable to get along with money! Just like what Krugman said just now, you only make a small profit if you do it yourself. If others participate, you can make a lot of money.
If it is true, he will definitely not refuse.
What kind of corporate dreams and career achievements are all nonsense, and the money is real! If someone says that you invest 30 billion US dollars to acquire your company.
Yang Ming agreed, because this money is enough to spend 20 million a month until he grows old. But it is impossible at this stage. The hangover is still in the rising period, and the small sailboat staggers out to the sea, and has not yet experienced too many storms!
