After there was no one else in the room, Eli Morgan said directly:
"Fang, in addition to inviting you to come here this time, we want to discuss the specific cooperation content.
We mainly want to hear what specific thoughts you, the person who first proposed the European aid plan, have? "
These words shocked Fang Lang at the beginning. When did the European aid plan become the first thing I proposed?
Didn’t I just tell you after the Prudhoe Bay oil field successfully produced oil that if the United States started to aid Europe, it would take me with it to make a fortune?
Seeing the three people in the room looking at him with burning eyes, Fang Lang looked at Eli Morgan with a shocked expression and said:
"Mr. Morgan, don't make such a joke.
When did I become the first person to propose a European aid plan?
I just got a little bit of wind.
When you are getting rich, don't forget your friends. "
Before Eli Morgan could continue to speak, Halken Morgan, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Morgan Company, had already smiled and said:
"Haha...Mr. Fang, is it too early for you to say you received the news?
While little Morgan invests in your global shipbuilding,
You require all shipyards authorized to produce container ships that all output in the first three years must serve your global shipping.
Isn't it just for this moment? "
Fang Lang didn't expect that the other party would suspect him because he had taken all the ship orders, and he had a plan.
However, it was impossible for Fang Lang to admit this kind of thing.
After all, it is impossible for me to tell them that I have no predictions!
Just when Fang Lang was about to resort to three consecutive denials, he suddenly felt that something was not right!
I was invited by you this time to come over to discuss cooperation.
Are you just trying to control the pace of negotiations by singing one-on-one and getting to the bottom of things?
He looked at the three Morgan family members sitting in the room and looked at himself.
This damn thing is too weird!
What about the promised friendship between the Morgan family?
You are three against one, and you are still plotting, so you can give me a showdown.
Isn't this bullying?
No, I can’t follow your rhythm, I want to disrupt your rhythm.
After Fang Lang thought for a while, he coughed twice and said seriously in a low voice:
"Mr. Morgan, do you have a dream?"
At this time, Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech had not yet begun.
The three of them were stunned when they heard Fang Lang's question.
After looking at each other in confusion, Halken Morgan smiled and nodded:
"Of course, my dream is to become an artist."
Fang Lang looked at the other person's expression and said with admiration:
“Your dreams are so big.
It's a pity that I am a layman,
My dream is to become the world's shipping king one day. "
Halken Morgan looked at Fang Lang looking at him with an admiring expression, and wanted to throw the black tea in his hand into his face.
This is why he told himself and others that the reason he wanted these ships was to become the person with the most ships in the world.
In order to make a few people believe what he said, Fang Lang continued to brag:
“To fulfill my dream, I often go to the port of Santos near my home and watch the ships coming and going.
I imagined that one day, the entire dock would be filled with my own boats.
In order to realize my dream, I secretly ran to the port and learned navigation knowledge from the old captains.
Therefore, when I became the captain of the expeditionary force transport ship, this idea became even more out of control.
After serving as a transport ship captain, I discovered that the transportation efficiency of bulk carriers is really inefficient.
A lot of time is wasted in the process of loading and unloading cargo at the dock.
Therefore, I used my spare time to design a completely new cargo ship, a container ship.
Maybe a lot of people don't like my creativity.
But now it turns out I was right, right? "
The three of them originally thought that Fang Lang was just making random excuses.
After hearing Fang Lang's story, he couldn't help but believe Fang Lang's words.
Because, they can understand many things in this story, Fang Lang's personal experience.
I originally wanted to explore Fang Lang's background, but I didn't expect to be taught a lesson by an inspirational story!
The current patriarch of the Morgan family, Charles Morgan, was the first to applaud, and the other two people quickly followed suit.
Seeing the three people applauding him, Fang Lang smiled shyly and said:
“Although, my global shipping now has a shipping capacity of more than five million tons.
But it is still too far away from my goal of being the world's shipping king.
Therefore, I will definitely persevere and make my dreams come true. "
These words caused Charles Morgan to cough and glare at Halken Morgan, who was stunned.
Gave Eli Morgan a look.
Eli Morgan understood, coughed twice and said:
"Ahem! Fang, everyone is a sensible person.
If you can predict the European aid plan in advance, you must be prepared in advance.
Regardless of whether your dream of being a shipping king is true or false,
But now your shipping company has really become the most important part.
This is a plan jointly promoted by major financial groups in the United States.
Therefore, it is impossible for you to eat all the transportation profits alone, do you understand what I mean? "
Eli Morgan is speaking outright, and his meaning is very clear.
It is impossible for Universal Group to swallow such a big business by yourself.
Whatever you want, share some of the benefits with others.
Although Fang Lang understood that what Eli Morgan said was true,
But of course Fang Lang couldn't agree to asking him to give part of his cake to others so easily.
He never thought that he could eat this cake by himself.
After all, the number of fleets he has is far from monopolizing shipping.
"No way! I just have some new container ships on hand.
We are not the main force in shipping now. "
Eli Morgan obviously knew what Fang Lang meant, and interrupted him directly without letting him say what he said next:
“We know that the Victory Wheel is the main force, but your fleet is the future, isn’t it?
More importantly, you have all the new ships signed for the next three years to your name.
This made everyone very dissatisfied.
Do you get me? "
There was nothing wrong with what he said, and Fang Lang felt a little aggrieved.
Understand that this is definitely not the opinion of the Morgan family. If you can't give up some of your interests,
Maybe someone will take action against their own shipping company.
But it is obviously impossible to give up one's own interests directly like this.
"What do you want?"
Now that everyone has opened the skylight and spoken out, there is no need for Fang Lang to hide it.
Asked directly.
Hearing Fang Lang's straightforward words, the three people in the room looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths were slightly raised.
This time, Halken Morgan, chairman of Morgan Company, spoke:
"Forty-nine percent of the shipping company."
When the lion opened his mouth, Fang Lang's eyelids jumped in anger.
The friendship you promised the Morgan family, your friendship is just to deceive your friends, isn't it?
Fortunately, now he is also a person who has seen the world, and he glanced at the three people in the room expressionlessly.
Except for Eli Morgan's slightly wandering eyes, the other two people looked matter-of-fact.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Fang Lang continued in a calm tone:
"What can I get?"
The three members of the Morgan family looked at each other and couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
Even Eli Morgan didn't expect that Fang Lang would be so straightforward.
Make the decision to exchange benefits directly without hesitation.
As the chairman of Morgan Company, Halken Morgan has great decision-making power in this matter.
But as a capitalist, he is undoubtedly very greedy.
So, I don’t want to pay anything.
He smiled and said:
“What are the chances of Universal joining the European recovery plan?”
Fang Lang's eyes narrowed, he didn't expect the other party to be so greedy.
But asking for prices all over the place and paying back the money on the spot. Now that we are negotiating a deal, of course we must allow others to set prices.
No matter how outrageous the price given by others is, it at least shows that the other party is interested in trading.
But Fang Lang didn't want to bargain with them here. After all, there were three members of the Morgan family in this room, and he was the only one.
Therefore, we must cut through the mess quickly and not get stuck in endless negotiations.
Glancing at Eli Morgan, a mocking smile escaped Fang Lang's lips.
He said with some disdain in his eyes:
"I thought I had really gained the friendship of the Morgan family now,
It seems I was too naive. "
After saying that, he stood up directly, bowed his hands to the three of them, and prepared to leave.
Seeing his movements, the three of them did not move until Fang Lang walked to the door and twisted the door handle.
As the patriarch, Charles Morgan slowly spoke.
"Fang, our Morgan family is investment bankers.
Since little Morgan chooses to believe in you and invest in you.
And you did live up to our expectations and gave us a return on investment that exceeded our expectations.
We will naturally abide by our agreement.
Please believe that the friendship between our Morgan family is not empty words. "
Fang Lang didn't really want to leave, and everyone here understood this.
We are all foxes for thousands of years, and we put on a fairy tale just to break the deadlock.
In fact, Fang Lang already had what he wanted in his mind.
Turning to look at Charles Morgan, Fang Lang said word by word:
“Since the friendship of the Morgan family is not just empty words.
Please don't conduct unnecessary temptations.
We could be more honest. "
After hearing what Fang Lang said, Eli Morgan stood up with a smile, pulled Fang Lang up and let him sit back in his seat.
Patted Fang Lang on the shoulder and said:
"Fang, we are friends. If you have any needs, you can mention them directly. If they are something we can meet.
The Morgan family definitely doesn't skimp. "
Fang Lang also followed the trend and sat back to his original position.
As if he was not the one who just left the table angrily, he looked at the three of them with a smile and said:
“My request is simple. First, I want my Brazilian Development Bank to have the opportunity to enter the European financial industry.
Second, I want to use the 49% share of Global Shipping Lines,
In exchange for the same proportion of shares in an insurance company owned by the Morgan consortium. "
Fang Lang's words made the three of them frown. The Morgan family was born in finance.
How could he not understand Fang Lang's ambition?
The second request is simply trivial to the Morgan consortium.
Because there are many insurance companies controlled by the Morgan consortium, it is not a big deal for the Morgan family to have Fang Lang become the major shareholder of one of the companies.
But the first request is a bit difficult to handle.
This is the meat in the mouth of the Morgan consortium!
Originally, the Morgan consortium wanted to use the European aid plan to land in Europe and acquire several banks in Europe.
Then, the bank's funds were used to invest and hold some important industries unknowingly.
This will not make the Morgan consortium's funds in Europe particularly conspicuous.
It can also achieve the purpose of controlling European core assets.
As for wanting to acquire shares in Global Shipping Company, compared with this goal, it is simply not worth mentioning.
