American Fortune Life

Chapter 1968: Straightening Out

Both Jack Ma and Liu Johnsy made it clear that there was no reason why the world should be born without a reason, relying on the accumulation of calm efforts day after day and month without anyone asking.

No one can do anything!

Dining estate, mountain water back, lobby hugs, beautiful views. The interior is decorated with the theme of dragon phoenix, decorated with a large painting palace lamp, a bright yellow tablecloth, napkins and chair covers. The tableware is decorated with an imitation of palace porcelain or silverware marked "All Life Without Frontiers”, with an ancient elegance and rich palace character.

Andy looked at the full "Full Han Seat" court dishes on the table and smiled at Li Qiang, the owner of his first trip who invited him: “Full Han Seat, famous for a long time, it is true that his name is not false. ”

Li Qiang said with a smile: "These dishes are all made from famous ingredients such as Shan Bazhen, Hai Bazhen, Poultry Bazhen, Grass Bazhen, and other techniques such as barbecue and stewed fried chicken, which can be described as the exquisite and rich variety of North and South flavors. Full Manchukuo seats take 4 to 6 meals to eat. So now these are the 'Manchun Full Seat Selection' meals, just have one meal and you can enjoy the beauty of the Manchun Full Seat. Hope you like it. ”

“Thank you, I'm bothered.” Andy nodded and thanked each other with a smile.

“Please...”

Li Qiang smiled and reached out, Andy and a hidden green improved cheongsam, irregularly improved design and deep stability bring a touch of fashion and nobility, the curved Li Xiaoying taste.

Li Qiang, who is familiar with the culinary culture, ‘Be friends first, then do business', naturally won't start talking about business matters. Most of the time, he talks about the atmosphere of baking. For example, several Janes introduced Andy and Li Xiaoying to the practice of ‘full seating' classic dishes and some interesting examples.

In fact, it is generally not necessary to spend too much time talking about business in a heavenly meal, and it is more effective to find an opportunity to talk a few words during or after a meal. In a meal, it is best to concentrate on gaining the approval of the other party, so long as they see their sincerity and sincerity, they can naturally succeed.

After three tours, after five flavours, looking at half a glass of wine in front of you, Li Qiang is thoughtful, and drinking it himself is definitely bitter wine, but there is no way, who makes this all made on his side, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, medium flavour, such as drinking water, warm and self-aware, so, no more hesitation.

“Mr. Smith, do you have any new ideas and insights into the next collaboration at Universal Studios, and if there's anything you're not happy with, we can sit back and talk... ”

“Oh?”

Andy, tasting the food, heard the other party finally talk about business, smiled and answered, put down the chopsticks, wiped his mouth CHUN with a napkin, drank a high foot cup filled with mineral water, cleared his throat, smiled and looked at Li Qiang and said: “Ever since the project was reported, it has been under scrutiny and has not yet been finally approved, and I heard that it seems to have risen to the angle of cultural strategic security, there is also a need to compress the scale of investment and add more Tianjing elements.

Especially if you want to take absolute dominance, and the news comes out that you are banned from building theme parks everywhere, all this makes me have to reconsider the enormous risks involved, and we are now talking more, better, finally depends on whether we can approve it, don't you think? ”

To be honest, Andy suggested that the reason why Universal Studios settled in Beijing City was a positive attitude, mainly a coincidence in time, just in time to catch up with Beijing to focus on the development of the same boat district, so, once the news was released, it attracted all forces and large enterprises, encountered a mad speculation, you know, this time, with the fermentation of Universal projects, single real estate, almost all of the company shares in the same boat, have been enthusiastically dedicated.

Upon hearing Andy say this, Li Qiang had a feeling that he was right. Indeed, perhaps they were really blinded by the interests. Before they finally reached a conclusion, they began to jump up and down the distribution of benefits. Now think about it, it's really ridiculous.

You know, since Disneyland brought the news of its arrival in 2005, theme parks have blossomed all over the country, but the problem has followed. According to Li Qiang, 150 billion yuan of huge investment is currently confined to more than 2,500 theme parks, of which 70 percent are in a loss state, 20 percent are flat, only about 10 percent are profitable, and more than two-thirds cannot recover their investment.

Now it may seem that their group is really too confident and optimistic, let alone negotiating with Universal, and now it seems that it may not even be possible to get past this at home.

“Mr. Smith, with all due regard, this is, after all, an investment involving 10 billion dollars, and the adoption of the project is not very problematic... ”

Listening to Li Qiang's reassurance, Andy looked at each other with a bright look and smiled. “Nobody can guarantee that, can't they? And if, on your terms, most of the money you invest after taking control is in bank loans, if the bank refuses, if not, what do you use as collateral for the benefit of Universal Studios?

I'm sorry, nobody is a fool. Since things are still unclear and the chances of even failing are increasing, I don't have to waste my time and human and material resources to continue blindly talking. Let's wait and see, okay? “

“No, no, Mr. Smith, I'm afraid there's been some misunderstanding. Indeed, many of the investment firms in Tianjing were taking land at low prices in the name of the theme park before the beginning of Tianjing, and then demanding that the local government approve the related residential and commercial properties as their additional compensation. This has also led to a slowdown in approvals by the State, with many theme park projects being withdrawn.

But unlike our cooperation this time, you and I have prepared a lot of cash to start the project, not to circle the land, which is essentially different from the other theme park projects. “

“Oh, and yet, while we put a billion dollars in Universal Studios in advance, you only have 5 billion RMB in cash, which is absolutely dominant. I'm sorry, I really don't see your sincerity, and I'm sure no one would agree to this cooperation, right?” Andy looked at Li Qiang with a smile and asked him with a faint look.

“Cough...” Li Qiangzhan smiled and lightly coughed to cover up his little embarrassment, "Isn't there still land? ”

As soon as that happened, Andy's face changed slightly and his expression was apathetic. Even Li Xiaoying beside him frowned slightly, "Oh, well, I always thought that land was property that the joint venture paid for, it seems that we didn't understand, and I would reconsider. ”

Li Qiang first stunned, then noticed the two people's frigid faces, wondering if they really didn't understand or if they didn't, “Is our cooperation not, our investment and land and your investment and monopoly? ”

“Oh...” Andy smiled softly and shrugged his shoulders. "Perhaps it was wrong from the beginning, but now the correction is still urgent. Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Lee. I've eaten... ”

The expression on Li Qiang's face was a little embarrassing, and he tried to keep it with a hard crowded smile.

However, I have already felt Andy, "Chicken and duck talk, no speculation more than half a sentence", not in the mood to continue to pull each other off, with Li Xiaoying, and Li Qiangfang smiled and said to stay, then I never went back into the car, and went on and on.

Li Qiang stood on the steps in front of Zhu Hong Gate, looking at the red taillight from afar, his eyes slightly squinting, his eyes flashing, eventually turned into a sigh.

“He seems to be trying to stir up cooperation! ”

In the trunk, Li Xiaoying Xiuyi frowned slightly. After rethinking for a moment, he turned and said to Andy.

“Mm-hmm." Andy nodded with no expression and said apathetically, "It doesn't look like the time has come, I'm afraid this project is going to be scrapped! ”

Andy knew, I'm afraid, that the other party would never have said that about the land. After all, at the beginning of the cooperation, it had been said that the land in the theme park would be purchased locally in the name of the joint venture, which was the property of the new joint venture, not a stock entry in the Heavenly Dynasty.

Things here, it seems that this project really needs to be put on hold for a while. There are some things in Heaven and Dynasty that can never be easily understood just by looking at the surface.

He is also kind of crooked. If he keeps catching up to push the project and finally gets slapped back, it would be embarrassing. Now it is undoubtedly possible to push the boat along to withdraw this side of himself in dignity.
