Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 684 Communication

ICBC's search for strategic investors has been relatively low-key.

Including this time, the involvement of a third party in the conference room of the head office did not spread on a large scale, but only a small circle of people knew about it.

However, everyone who knows can't help sighing that this Fang Zhuo is not simple, and behind him is a private equity firm with huge energy.

Now, except for a few people, most of them feel that Fang always has to compete with Goldman Sachs to see who is qualified to become a partner of ICBC.

A day later, Goldman Sachs contacted ICBC. Its boss, Paulson, was about to arrive in Beijing by plane. He hoped that ICBC would seriously consider the cooperation of strategic investment. .

In the evening, President Jiang called Fang Zhuo to discuss the entry of the MIGA Fund.

"Mr. Fang, very good, very good. Goldman Sachs is quite nervous, but our effect is very effective."

Fang Zhuo smiled and said, "If it were me, I would be nervous too. Is their Paulson here?"

"Yes, Paulson called me directly. He will arrive in the capital in the early morning of tomorrow, and we will meet in the morning." President Jiang pondered, "I just don't know if he will kill the Baolian Group."

"It's unlikely." Fang Zhuo judged.

President Jiang has had repeated communications with different people from yesterday to today, and for some reason, everyone still agrees with yesterday's statement.

The show of hands vote proposed by the director of the office, Pan Gong, was quite effective with President Jiang's silent acquiescence, at least it was a collective decision.

Now everyone can't figure out the situation of Fang Zhuo, a temporary consortium, the situation of Fang Zhuo, and the majority of the votes at the meeting. Limited communication can't make the situation clear. .

After communicating with President Jiang, he suddenly became a little unclear whether there were new changes. Didn't Fang Zhuomo communicate with other factions in the industry through different channels?
Therefore, he also wanted to confirm Fang Zhuo's thoughts during this call.

After Fang Zhuo finished speaking, he didn't see a voice from the other side. He thought for a moment and said, "I've consulted someone from Chase for the underwriter. President Jiang, don't worry."

When President Jiang heard this, he was even more worried, and said carefully, "President Fang, don't worry, what do you think about the cooperation with ICBC?"

Fang Zhuo was a little confused, what do you think?Didn't you come for me?What should I think?
He said, "President Jiang, you might as well explain it clearly."

President Jiang coughed and said, "Does MIGA want to replace Goldman Sachs?"

Fang Zhuo was startled and said, "President Jiang, do you want to replace him?"

"What do you think?" President Jiang asked.

"I think? Isn't it up to you?" Fang Zhuo asked back.

He had a bit of a headache and didn't intend to go around in circles. He said bluntly: "I have no idea about Goldman Sachs. I am still planning to replace Allianz Group. President Jiang, there is no change on my side, what about you?"

President Jiang breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Fang, you guys confronted Goldman Sachs yesterday. I once thought you really planned to replace them."

"Not enough money." Fang Zhuo succinctly explained the reason.

"Stop the business of Datong, and there will be arrangements in the bank." President Jiang first stopped Mr. Fang's arrangement. Since the goal has not changed, let's reduce the impact a little. Now many people can analyze the MIGA fund logically. One side has the advantage.

Fang Zhuo wondered, "Okay, President Jiang, your phone call has confused me."

"Everyone thinks Mr. Fang is good, and thinks you are more suitable than Goldman Sachs." President Jiang briefly mentioned the situation in the bank.

Fang Zhuo was quite surprised, what happened to your ICBC?You must be rigorous in doing things!
He thought about it seriously, and said slowly, "President Jiang, I have a bold idea."

President Jiang knew better than anyone else how Mr. Fang was in a hurry to put together a consortium. He didn't want to cause trouble, so he replied seriously: "Mr. Fang, this idea is too bold, so let's not mention it."

Fang Zhuo is as good as others, but it is really reluctant, and without the support of the person in charge, it would be very difficult to do it.

He got back on track: "President Jiang, don't get in the way. When Paulson comes, let President Wu test Goldman Sachs' ideas and make a match. Yesterday was just our strategy for doing things. Don't misunderstand."

President Jiang is now basically sure that nothing happened. The situation in the bank can only be said that Mr. Fang does have influence.

He chatted a few more words and ended the call.

Wu Qian was also in the office, and he could guess the situation by listening to half of the conversation.

President Jiang put down his phone and smiled at Wu Qian: "I think too much, there is no change in Mr. Fang's side."

Wu Qian also breathed a sigh of relief, what he fears the most now is that Mr. Fang will turn against the customer, and it will be really messy.

But according to the rumors, Fang is always someone who can do this kind of thing, so it is inevitable that he needs to be nervous.

President Jiang thought that he had been in a dilemma from yesterday to today, and shook his head slightly: "Mr. Fang, this stirrer, stirrer... The spoiler is so easy to use, it really has something special."

Wu Qian recalled the words of a certain leader: "Fang is always one of his own."

President Jiang smiled, yes, he is one of his own, so he can do it with confidence.

……

After Fang Zhuo answered the phone, he thought about it for a while, but he didn't understand why such a misunderstanding occurred.

He sorted out the information, and found that the profit from the door-to-door still had a relatively high chance of winning. With Lao Jiang's secret efforts, it was only a matter of time before Goldman Sachs and MIGA cooperated.

In the afternoon, the Patchwork consortium continued to meet. Deutsche Bank, Hezhong, and Washington all had business teams arriving in the capital one after another. Although they were not heading for Goldman Sachs, they had to look decent anyway.

By the way, Fang Zhuo did not forget his original intention and made a small request. In this wave of communication with ICBC, he can explain the Case of Pricesmart in the example of risk management, which can be regarded as a down-to-earth localization up.

"President Fang, I heard that people from the Allianz Group and the American Express Group have arrived in the capital." Zhang Hongli updated the information after the meeting, "Paulsen is also coming soon, do you want to meet with ICBC again?"

"Just wait for the ICBC to find us." Fang Zhuo was not in a hurry. It should be after the ICBC met with the Goldman Sachs consortium to see if there were any new changes before communicating with him.

However, he had just separated from Zhang Hongli, and his phone received a call from Goldman Sachs.

"Mr. Xu, what do you say?" Fang Zhuo knew that Xu Kaiwei's current contact was not his own.

Xu Kaiwei said directly: "Paulsen wants to see you."

"He's here?" Fang Zhuo was surprised.

"Not yet, but he wants to have breakfast with Mr. Fang..." Xu Kaiwei conveyed his wishes. Paulson arrived in the early morning, which means that morning is the right first time.

Fang Zhuo turned his thoughts around, and responded heartily: "Okay, no problem, I will treat Paulson to eat steamed buns and fried liver, and thank Goldman Sachs for supporting his partners."
