In Wang Xiaojian¡¯s office, Wu Chao, Jones and Stephen were also there.
"King, this time when you two came to the United States, you didn't even have time to properly entertain them. Tomorrow I'm going to prepare a ladder as a way to warm you up and celebrate today's victory. What do you think"
Jones¡¯s attitude has changed a lot invisibly.
The Chinese market encountered trouble, and Lucent¡¯s stock price was crushed. In just three days, Demian was instigated.
These things all reflect the amazing energy and courage of the Huaxia Sect.
He went from taking advantage to now wanting to have a good relationship with Wang Xiaojian and the others.
But it¡¯s too late.
"There's no need to climb the ladder. When we actually get Puchel and Mike out of Dalmore, we'll have a good celebration."
Jones¡¯ eyes flashed and he echoed: ¡°I hope that day will come soon.¡±
"Jones, I heard you are interested in investing?"
Not understanding Wang Xiaojian¡¯s purpose in asking this question, he nodded and admitted:
¡°The internal risk control and investment return control of Morgan Stanley are relatively strict, and we cannot do whatever we want, so I opened an investment company of my own¡±
When talking about his company, Jones blushed.
The last time was because his company suffered serious losses, so he was forced to accept Yi Xiaohai's help.
So, his investment company was relatively unsuccessful.
Wang Xiaojian doesn¡¯t care about this:
"Jones, who do you think has the stronger ability to attract money, Damo or Hantang?"
"Of course it's the Han and Tang Dynasties."
When it comes to scale and influence, Morgan Stanley is still better.
Simply comparing profits, Hantang can instantly beat any financial company in the world.
"If you were given a choice, would you like to be a shareholder or director of Morgan Stanley, or would you like to cooperate with Han and Tang?"
Wang Xiaojian¡¯s question is a torture of the soul.
??In fact, translated into a simple sentence, choose status or money.
Morgan Stanley¡¯s shareholders and directors have a very high status in the United States, which cannot be exchanged for money.
Cooperating with Han and Tang means being able to make a lot of money, which is something that the status of director of Morgan Stanley cannot necessarily be obtained in exchange.
Jones wants them all.
¡°Can I only choose one?¡±
¡°There is an old saying in China, you can¡¯t have your cake and eat it too, of course you can only choose one.¡±
Jones was silent.
If it were in the past, he might not think too much about choosing Morgan Stanley as a director.
Because you have status and connections, you can make money.
But after going through the Miranda period, he discovered that having status and connections may not necessarily lead to money.
His investment company is facing huge losses and may go bankrupt, and he may also go bankrupt.
At that time, he asked many people to borrow money, but no one was willing to lend him money, and even banks were unwilling to lend him money.
In the end, Pucher provided some help in order to take advantage of him, but that help could not completely save him.
Only Yi Xiaohai paid.
Although it also has a purpose, it is much more conscientious than Puchel.
Since then, his mentality has undergone some changes.
No matter what status you have, it is all supported by money. Without money, no one will give you face.
So he hesitated again and again and chose money:
¡°If I had to choose one of the two, I would choose to cooperate with the Han and Tang Dynasties to make more money.¡±
Wang Xiaojian and Wu Chao looked at each other and knew that they had taken the first step successfully today.
"Jones, Yi Xiaohai, who is far away in China, wants to cooperate with you in depth."
"deep cooperation?"
Jones was a little slow and did not understand what Wang Xiaojian meant.
"Han-Tang North America Branch sells you 2% of the shares, and you will become a shareholder of Han-Tang North America Branch in the future."
Wang Xiaojian was worried that he did not understand the scale of the North American branch of the Han and Tang Dynasties, so he explained it to him.
Jones frowned.
The current value of the North American branch of Han and Tang Dynasties is difficult to estimate.
"With only a few billions of funds, plus Han and Tang's ability to attract money, we can give a valuation of 10 billion, which is no problem.
2% of the shares are worth 200 million, not much, but not much.
His vitality has been severely damaged and he has not recovered yet. He cannot come up with so much cash.
There is a more important question,
There is no such thing as a free lunch.?There must be certain conditions behind the cooperation between Han and Tang Dynasties.
"Wang, I would like to ask, are there any conditions for obtaining the shares of Hantang?"
"Of course, we need you to transfer part of Morgan Stanley's shares to us"
¡°Stephen wants to be the leader of the centrist faction, Jones may feel uncomfortable, and staying on the board of directors of Morgan Stanley will definitely be troublesome.
The best way is to acquire part of his shares and let him naturally withdraw from the board of directors. Stephen will naturally accept it, so there won't be such a big conflict.
Those shares in Han and Tang Dynasties can also play a comforting role.
Jones finally understood why Wang Xiaojian asked that question in the first place. It turned out that he had already had a purpose.
"King, how much do you want?"
The shares in his hands are relatively sufficient, and selling 1% will not have any essential impact.
Wang Xiaojian looked at him and raised two fingers:
"2%."
Jones was shocked:
"I will give you 2%, and I will quit the board of directors!"
"Jones, you just said that if you had to choose between the two, you would rather choose Han and Tang. Now you can not only choose to cooperate with Han and Tang to make more money, but you can also retain your status as a shareholder of Morgan Stanley. This is a cakewalk. have to¡¡"
Jones shook his head:
¡°Shareholders and directors of Morgan Stanley are two different concepts.¡±
"But you have also seen that Puchel and Mike will continue to fight, and eventually you may be kicked out of the board of directors. If you give us the shares, we can drive Puchel and Mike out"
Jones is a bit confused.
The directors of Morgan Stanley become shareholders, but they can become shareholders of Han and Tang Dynasties and make more money.
But when he was suddenly asked to leave the board of directors of Morgan Stanley, he was reluctant to give up that power.
This is like that funny joke,
If you had 10 million, would you donate it? Many people answered yes.
If you had a car, would you donate it? Many people answered no.
Because they don¡¯t have 10 million, but they have a car,
This is what Jones is doing now.
"King, can you let me think about it?"
In the end, Jones still had no choice. He needed to calm down and think about it.
Wang Xiaojian will give him time,
"Jones, we will stay in the United States during this period. I hope to complete this matter before leaving."
"Also, the Han and Tang Dynasties can give you another choice,"
Jones looked up and asked, "What choice?"
"Han and Tang can inject 3 billion into your current investment company, and only need 30% of the shares"
This is the great thing about Yi Xiaohai.
Fei Xiaosong investigated Jones and was somewhat concerned about his status.
Jones will definitely hesitate to take out 2% of Morgan Stanley shares.
Because he got 2% of the shares of Han and Tang North America, he had no say at all and could only make money following Yi Xiaohai.
But in another way, when Han and Tang invested in his investment company, it was also a cooperation, but he himself could dominate.
?Obviously, it is more attractive than the first type of cooperation.
Wang Xiaojian deliberately confused Jones¡¯ mentality first, and then proposed a more tempting plan. Jones was even more confused this time
