Future chat group

Relevant households are different from ordinary competitors. Although other competitors also have some personal connections, Lei Hao and his team can be entertained by two board members. Most investment banks compete more with hard power.

From the perspective of treatment, it was very clear to everyone that Forest and KH won at the starting line. After receiving the news, several other investment banks could only curse a few times in their hearts and then silently adjust the terms in their hearts.

People from Ante Energy Group and Lepai had already contacted them yesterday. The negotiation situation between the two parties is temporarily unknown, but negotiations on large projects have always been like this. Forest negotiated alone on Tuesday morning, KH people in the afternoon, Baker and Rhodes After sitting in the office, he directly told Lei Hao the news.

"Can I know the conditions of Ant Energy Group?" After sitting down, Lei Hao asked directly.

Fox, who was sitting next to Lei Hao, complained in his heart, but he also straightened his back unconsciously. He complained that Lei Hao was too direct, but he was very proud of the connections that the boss of Forest had.

"If it's anyone else, I can only say that I have no comment." Baker smiled and waved his hand, then motioned for Rhodes to pick up the conversation.

"But if it's you," Rhodes said at the right time: "Lei, I can tell you that Lepai will not cooperate with Ant Energy Group. Although their business is somewhat complementary to ours, they are not a good collaborator. , Lepai has the ability to complete this project alone, of course... we need to spread the risk out a little bit."

"I know that the members of the board of directors cannot be changed, and those shares have no right to intervene in the operation." Lei Hao nodded.

The project has good prospects, but it consumes too much money, and we don’t want others to interfere too much. Lepai’s approach is very appropriate.

"Yes, this is our financing goal." Rhodes and Baker smiled at each other, but said nothing more. After all, they had their own interests, and their relationship with Lei Hao could only let them reveal so much.

Lei Hao didn't take it seriously and asked Fox to speak. The latter was a veteran in the financial circle. His words were sometimes probing, and he quickly got some information that Forest could use, further confirming Lepai's needs.

"The number of intended investments we have received from customers is less than 50 million. Even if the time span is sufficient, it will be considered a success if we can finally find 150 million. In other words, regardless of all conditions, Forest itself still needs at least 50 million. The U.S. dollars are for the investment banking department." Fox felt dumbfounded.

"Maybe... we can talk about cooperation with KH." Fox thought of a possibility that was raised at the meeting yesterday afternoon. "The two parties will cooperate in running this project, each responsible for a quota of 100 million, and Forest can also learn some investment banking business from KH. operational experience.”

"The boss said to leave this matter to him, so I'll just wait and see." Fox calmed down and silently observed Lei Hao, who was chatting and laughing.

Everyone made an appointment at 10:30 a.m., and there are still about 20 minutes left. Lei Hao is now talking to Baker and Rhodes about Forest's fund operations and plans.

After a whole day of preparation yesterday, Lei Hao finally adopted the suggestion put forward by Fox and others, which was to seek cooperation from KH Investment Bank.

"It won't be difficult to reach a cooperation intention." Thinking of the concerns of his subordinates, Lei Hao unconsciously showed a confident smile.

In the eyes of Fox and others, KH can take advantage of Lepai's financing projects. Forest, apart from hurting others with its own capital, is basically at a disadvantage in all aspects. Why should they cooperate with you? If you use bad rules and take over the business without accepting payment, KH will hate you to death, and there is still an interest in cooperation.

But Lei Hao prepared a cooperation plan for KH that looked no worse than Lepai's financing project. He believed that the other party would accept it. Before that, it would be better if he could get an advantageous position in the negotiation with Lepai. This is also the reason why Lei Hao did not contact KH first.

There was no surprise in the contact with Lepai. Everyone exchanged opinions with each other. After some testing, they all clarified the terms and limits. Then it was time to wait for Lepai to finish contacting other investment banks before discussing the next round of matters. It may take two days.

While having lunch with Baker and Rhodes, Lei Hao saw that the two seemed to have received some news, and his expression changed slightly.

Coincidentally, at the same restaurant, a group of people walked in outside the door. These people made Baker and Rhodes, who were sitting at the same table with Lei Hao, look even more ugly.

"Lei, KH and Ant have joined forces. Ant is willing to give up the right to join the board of directors. KH helped them get a leveraged loan from Morgan, which means... Forest is out." Baker lowered his voice and said, "I'm sorry. ."

"Dear Baker, and Mr. Rhodes," Baker had just finished briefly saying this. A group of five people who came in from the gate also approached, and the middle-aged man standing on the right said hello: "I'm sorry for disturbing your meal."

"Hernando, if you knew you were embarrassed, you shouldn't have come up to say hello." To Lei Hao's surprise, among Baker and Rhodes, it was Rhodes who stepped forward to resist the pressure of the other party.

"If I didn't come over to say hello, Mr. Rhodes, you would think I was rude, wouldn't you?" The middle-aged man named Hernando smiled and said, "Anyway, you always dislike me. .”

"Damn Mexican!" Rhodes sneered unceremoniously.

The name Hernando belongs to the Latin family and is also used by Mexicans. As we all know, there are many Mexicans in the United States, and the Chinese call it Lao Mo.

Lao Mo has some power in the catering field. Catering groups like Lepa usually have Mexican directors. Rod Linas seems to be at odds with Hernando, and a sense of internal competition is definitely evident.

KH is Hernando's collaborator, while Baker and Rhodes chose Forest. It goes without saying what the relationship between the two parties is.

Standing among a group of people in Hernando is a white man with a hooked nose. He is an official of Ant Energy Group. The one on the left is the CEO of KH, and the one on the right is Hernando. The two people behind him appear to be assistants. , it’s not surprising that these people gather together, they should come to eat and celebrate.

Lei Hao ignored the tit-for-tat confrontation between Rhodes and Hernando and turned his attention to Ant and KH. Just in time, the other two were also looking this way. Everyone looked at each other and smiled, but they also had different expressions. different.

"The Chinese guy who is new to Wall Street, I still have their meeting invitation on my desk. What does he want to talk to us about?"

"Forest? It is said that the fund they manage owns 20% of the shares of Texas United Petroleum. Maybe we have a chance to cooperate."
