American Fortune Life

The Langham Hotel is a luxury hotel of pure British descent. The decoration and furniture all have a British classic atmosphere. Andy turned and left the balcony. When he passed the small round table, he picked up a white coffee cup and walked back to the suite.

Taylor Swift's singing sounded from the cell phone on the table in the living room. Andy walked to the sofa and sat down, reached out to pick up the cell phone, saw the name of the caller, frowned slightly, and picked it up.

"You don't sleep, call me at this time, it's really free!" Andy said in a cold tone.

"Hehe, I can't help it. I can't wait for your call. I can only call you. How is it? Is the child cute?"

Justin Smith's voice came over the phone, thinking of little Laura, Andy's face showed a warm expression.

"Beautiful, healthy and lovely, her name is Laura."

"..." Justin Smith on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment and said, "Are you planning to keep this secret forever, without telling anyone?"

"What else? If my mother knows, do you think she will ask to see Laura often? Let's do it first, just ask, didn't grandpa know it a long time ago, hehe, he still pretends not to know, forget it Now, let’s not talk about this, how is the company doing recently?” Andy pouted, to be honest, before little Laura was born, he really didn’t care much, but when he saw the little guy’s voice moved, then The feeling of being connected by blood makes his mood indescribable, and it is even more tangled.

"Everything is going well, especially the website. Although this revision is accompanied by some controversy, the traffic is the best proof of the success of this revision. Now that Bloomberg News Corporation is on the right track, I have to say that Amanda Hearst's The ability is really outstanding..."

Listening to the report of his cheap cousin who also serves as a subordinate, Andy carefully asked some details in combination with the briefing during this period.

"Reports on Starbucks tend to be negative, let's cooperate with my plan." After pondering for a while, Andy intensified his attack on Starbucks again, increasing the weight.

"Starbucks? Well, it's no wonder howard, the CEO of Starbucks, angrily accused "Newsweek" of taking the content of his interview out of context and distorting the facts a few days ago. That's it. I know, and I will explain it."

Andy chatted with Justin for a while, then hung up the phone and checked the time. At this moment, Kenny reached out and pressed the headset on his ear and walked over and said, "Boss, the guests are here."

"Well, go and open the door." Andy went to the dressing mirror in the living room to tidy up, and walked to the junction of the porch and the living room with a smile on his face.

Waiting for the arrival of guests.

Walking in from the outside was the subordinate in charge of the acquisition negotiations and a strange middle-aged face, who knew without guessing that it was the person in charge of the other party's negotiations.

"Boss, this is the person in charge of TLC in the New Plymouth District Council of New Zealand..." The subordinate hurriedly introduced to Andy.

"Hi, nice to meet you."

"Hello, Mr. Smith, it is a great honor."

Andy smiled and shook hands with the other party, and after a short greeting, he let him into the living room. After sitting on the sofa, the waitress of the hotel quickly delivered coffee. , and then slowly get to the point.

"Mr. Smith, we only completed the acquisition of 74.33% of the shares of the Tasmanian VDLru Industry Company in February this year. There are also some disputes within the parliament over this acquisition."

Hearing the other party's words, Andy still had a smile on his face. He leaned back on the sofa and looked directly at the other party with a chuckle: "According to the current global economic situation, in the next two or three years, the economies of all countries will be seriously affected. Australia’s land and real estate have also been greatly impacted. You see, less than two months have passed since your acquisition, and you can resell for a profit. AUD 150 million is a lot of cash. I believe Plymouth District The people here will be very happy with the benefits that the District Council has brought to them, and everyone is preparing for the winter, isn’t it?”

"Hehe, that's true." The other party's expression was slightly teasing. Due to the long acquisition plan before, although the acquisition was successful in February this year and got more than 70% of the shares, it also ushered in the financial crisis. The downturn has made many people question the correctness of Plymouth District Council's acquisition of Van Diemen Real Estate Company.

"Mr. Smith, the Plymouth District Council is willing to make a decision that is beneficial to the people of Plymouth regarding the sale of the shares of Van Diemen's Company. However, we still have a few requests that we hope you can agree to."

Andy's expression didn't change much. He turned his eyes to his negotiator in charge, took the document handed over by the person in charge, and looked down.

After a while, the corners of Andy's mouth turned up, and he said with a light smile: "I will keep the current employees of VDL, and will not reduce their working conditions.

After the acquisition is completed, VDL will also maintain the production and supply of cattle NAI on the basis of the current contract, which will not affect the supply of local cattle NAI in Australia.

As for the third article, we will continue to implement the relevant agreements signed by VDL and cooperate with the local government on issues related to farm management, protection of indigenous cultural heritage and land protection.

However, the latter two contents, sorry, that is the matter of the Australian government. . . "

Hearing Andy's very straightforward words, the representative of the Plymouth District Council smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly explained: "Actually, the last two are what the local government of Tasmania hopes to add..."

"Hehe." Andy just chuckled, noncommittal about this, Nima, I really took myself for a fool, I want to make myself promise to protect the 44 endangered animals on the farm, not to mention, I also said that I hope to study and return part of the land to the Aboriginal communities, what are these idiot politicians thinking!

With a sneer in his heart, Andy rolled his eyes, and said with a light smile: "Since they are afraid of the rare Tasmanian devil getting sick, we, as responsible investors, will not do nothing, and we will find a way to do our part. a social responsibility.

In the future, I also plan to invest 100 million Australian dollars to build a new NAI cattle farm, which is expected to add hundreds of jobs to the local area. I guess that's great news for Aboriginal people in Tasmania, isn't it? "

"Hehe, I think this news will make the Tasmanian government very happy. Look at this 20 million Australian dollar bond..."

Andy sneered again. This group of New Zealand soil turtles really thought that their acquisition was an unequal transaction that had to be bought. You know, this acquisition still needs to be approved by the Australian Foreign Investment Regulatory Board (FIRB). The deposit is non-refundable. You must know that many foreign mergers and acquisitions by Chinese companies in the previous life were cheated by Western companies and the government.

Although he knew that it was unlikely that he would be rejected based on his background, but he didn't want to get used to this group of idiots, so he said with a calm smile: "Since everything is basically settled, then we can sign the agreement directly." !As for the approval of the Australian Foreign Investment Regulatory Commission, I believe they have no reason to block it. After all, this acquisition is of the nature of foreign capital and foreign capital, and we are just going through the motions, what do you think!"

"Hehe, yes, then we have a happy cooperation!"

Andy felt a bit of disdain for these New Zealanders, and he really was a follower who kept looking up to Tuao.
