Chapter 688 Pressure
The meeting with Paulson was brief, but it was indeed stressful.
However, this pressure was destined to be transmitted to President Jiang.
President Jiang should have expected this kind of pressure.
Of course, his expectation might be Allianz, but now there is also American Express.
But one is pressure, two is also pressure, it is better to bear them together.
Fang Zhuo believes that just as he does not mind acting as a thug for President Jiang, President Jiang should not mind helping to bear more pressure.
As for whether he can withstand it?
The acquisition consortium has been put together, and the people have appeared in front of the leaders of the head office. Bingxin Semiconductor has encountered vague threats...
You have to withstand it even if you can't, Old Jiang!
After Fang Zhuo contacted President Jiang, he reported the matter to Zhang Hongli of Deutsche Bank, Gary of United, Emily of Washington, and Kong Yu of his own fund in an orderly manner-comrades, the helmsman of Goldman Sachs has arrived, and everyone has to cheer up.
People's names and shadows, although they knew Paulson's schedule in advance, after they really confirmed his news and learned that Mr. Fang had met him for the first time, everyone spontaneously asked for a meeting.
In particular, Zhang Hongli, who had worked at Goldman Sachs, knew the greatness of his former employer and Mr. Fang's style. He was afraid that Deutsche Bank would be sold out at a loss, so he showed a strong willingness.
Zhang Hongli even had some advance communication with Emily and Gary before meeting Mr. Fang, considering whether he could really promote the strategic cooperation between MIGA Fund and ICBC to replace Goldman Sachs.
Fang Zhuo heard such a proposal again at the meeting, and neither agreed nor refused.
However, near noon, the meeting ended, he kept Zhang Hongli and gave a stern warning: "Mr. Zang, since Deutsche Bank was willing to focus on funds before, don't make small moves. If there is a next time, we will all break up even if we don't invest in ICBC!"
Deutsche Bank is the most powerful among the three banks, and most of the cooperation with ICBC has to be implemented by it. It is not easy to play without it.
Zhang Hongli was quite surprised and aggrieved: "Mr. Fang, it was Vice President Gary of United Bank who proposed this in the meeting. Why are you threatening me like this?"
"Who else can it be except you at this time?" Fang Zhuo said.
Zhang Hongli protested seriously: "Mr. Fang, you are really biased!"
"Mr. Zang, I am serious." Fang Zhuo does not need evidence, "This acquisition consortium only needs one voice, which is also the premise of cooperation with ICBC."
Zhang Hongli could only remain silent helplessly.
Mr. Fang is really overbearing! Really annoying!
You should at least go through the process.
Although, it is true that I did not wrongly accuse myself.
Zhang Hongli regretted that he failed to persuade him to succeed. If Mr. Fang really wanted to get involved in Goldman Sachs, the funds needed and the strength of his reliance on Deutsche Bank would surely be raised to several levels, and he would no longer be as overbearing as he is now.
"Okay, Mr. Fang, let's wait and see." Zhang Hongli expressed his attitude.
Fang Zhuo bid farewell to Mr. Zang without comment.
Although they have cooperated many times, Zang Zong is still Zang Zong, not his subordinate. It is understandable that he is doing his job, but it cannot be allowed.
…
The MIGA fund consortium remained calm and watched the communication between Paulson and ICBC.
At the same time, Deutsche Bank mobilized more executives and teams from its headquarters, and US Bank and Washington Mutual Bank also sent more people to quietly conduct business training and experience exchanges with ICBC.
Regardless of whether cooperation can be achieved in the end, communication and learning will always be beneficial to you.
This is also a display of business capabilities and attitudes.
On September 19, the business and expert teams of the three banks were basically no longer added, and Fang Zhuo also reduced meetings in this regard, waiting for changes at two levels.
First, the feedback on the pressure borne by ICBC.
Second, CCB is said to be able to go public in Hong Kong next month. As the first bank to go public after the share reform, it will surely arouse more changes.
That night, because Zhou Xin, president of Medical Science, came to Beijing to attend a meeting, Fang Zhuo made an appointment with him for dinner, and before the dinner, New York gave new news.
Previously, Fang Zhuo asked the Anliang Chamber of Commerce to help keep an eye on Liu Wuyi, the actual controller of Pulsmart, but he didn't hold much hope.
However, professionals are professionals after all. The Anliang Chamber of Commerce has now locked on a suspected Chinese, whose name is not Liu Wuyi, but Liu Jinghui.
The phone said it was suspected, not completely confirmed, but in fact there was 80% certainty.
Fang Zhuo was a little hesitant when he heard the news.
He really managed to catch this fish, but he didn't have the power to enforce the law, and there was no extradition agreement between the two sides. It seemed strange to talk about this matter directly with the domestic administration.
"Mr. Fang, do you think this will work? Let's set up a plan to make him realize the difficulties abroad, and then maybe he will be willing to go back on his own initiative." Fan Xiong of the Anliang Chamber of Commerce suggested tactfully.
"Is it difficult enough to come back on his own initiative?" Fang Zhuo asked.
"You can try." Fan Xiong didn't guarantee it.
"Okay, try it." Fang Zhuo didn't ask how to make people realize the difficulties, but only focused on the final result of this matter.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Fang Zhuo met Zhou Xin and his wife Yu Lanyu at the Jingmao Hotel.
"I haven't seen Yu Lanyu for a while, she looks even more charming."
"Zhou Xin, how will the meeting be today?"
The Medical Group has an administrative invitation meeting today because of the construction of the electronic system of the hospital.
Zhou Xin briefly reported the situation, and the superiors supported this matter.
Fang Zhuo nodded while listening. Knowing that Yu Lanyu liked to drink red wine, he specially ordered a bottle of good wine.
However, Yu Lanyu quickly declined after seeing it.
"Huh? This bottle is a good wine. I usually can't bear to drink it." Fang Zhuo joked.
Yu Lanyu only smiled and said: "Brother Fang, I quit drinking."
Zhou Xin next to her also laughed.
Fang Zhuo was a little strange. Looking at the smiles on the faces of these two people, he suddenly realized something and asked tentatively: "The crystallization of love?"
Zhou Xin and Yu Lanyu’s smiles grew even brighter.
"Oh, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Fang Zhuo quickly asked someone to change the juice and the dishes, "How long has it been?"
Zhou Xin smiled and said: "It has just been three months, and this trip to the capital is also a trip to her home."
Fang Zhuo and Zhou Xin have been friends since starting their own business, and he felt particularly relieved to have the medical field in his hands. Now he was happy to hear such a happy event, and while drinking juice, he discussed the name of the child and his future.
"It's a good thing, it's a really good thing." Fang Zhuo looked at the couple in front of him and felt that he had to express something after hearing such news. He thought about it seriously and said, "Zhou Xin, just in time, I have a good person here. If you have the opportunity, you sell the stock and I will run it for you. It is a gift to the child. "
Zhou Xin hesitated. The stock could only be Yike's stock. Sometimes it was not only a stock, but also had symbolic meaning.
Yu Lanyu had no doubts. She glanced at her husband and agreed directly: "Okay, Brother Fang, thank you, Brother Fang."
Who is in front of you? There is nothing to hesitate about.
Fang Zhuo nodded: "You are smarter than Zhou Xin. I will ask Kong Yu to contact you later."
