American Peak Life

"Hmph, I'm not stupid. I can't see Elaine who is usually busy. The car was parked downstairs so early today. What would happen if you didn't come back?" Madeleine raised her head and held her chest The face has a winning expression.

Well, Madeleine, you really won.

Lu Ning gave the black-bellied princess a thumbs up speechlessly, and this one is not ashamed but proud. This cheek is definitely thicker than the reinforced concrete of the building.

As for what to eat at night, this is also a problem. In the end, everyone agreed to eat hot pot after discussing it. In the block not far from home, a new hot pot restaurant opened. I heard that the taste is very authentic, Sichuan spicy and spicy taste.

"Beef and mutton, chicken and duck blood, I want all tofu and fruit." Well, Madeleine and the others skillfully ordered the dishes, and at first glance, it was an old glutton who often eats hot pot, Lu Ning, Paris, Elaine Ka They all looked at this one blankly, please, we are only 4 people, you ordered a large table of dishes, eat a hot pot, and do you have any takeaways?

Apparently, everyone underestimated Madeleine's fighting power, and the mouth was full of oil. This one, she almost finished a table of food abruptly. Of course, the result is that Madeleine doesn't even want to take a step.

When I returned to the apartment at night, Madeleine disappeared automatically, um, she disappeared after drinking enough.

Instead, Elaine and Paris were left behind, staring at each other again, for what, well, I knew it well.

8 Chapter [-] Small Meetings Before Financing

At the "face-to-face" technology headquarters of the Bear Stearns Building, at this time, Yi Lian was sitting on the sofa with a dark face, her hands folded around her chest, and a sneer on the corner of her mouth: "Is it enough to brush at the latest, huh, I know, Pa Liz the bitch."

Elaine has always had this expression since they met in the morning. Lu Ning could only smile wryly. Well, when Lu Ning came out of the bathroom last night, there was only Paris with a smiling face left in the room. , Lu Ning didn't know how these two decided the winner, Lu Ning was also curious, well, Xiaobie wins Xinhuan, and the dragon and fish dance overnight.

In the morning, Elaine knocked on the door. Today, I made an appointment to discuss the first round of financing of the GR Group, but it was Paris who opened the door, and even made a show in front of Elaine. Fan, this time, really angered Elaine Ka, so, for the whole morning, Elaine Ka had kept a cold face, even for Lu Ning, she didn't have a good face.

"Okay, Elaine, tell me, last night you..." Lu Ning smiled helplessly, but he was still very curious about their winning method.

"Rock, paper, scissors, what? Didn't you play with it when you were a child?" Although Yi Lian was upset, she still answered Lu Ning's question. Damn, why did I have to make rocks last night? Thinking of this, Yi Lian was confused again I was upset for a while.

Well, after listening to Elaine's answer, Lu Ning instantly petrified, what the hell, he thought of countless duels, but he didn't think of this one. By the way, are you so casual?

Not long after, there was a knock on the door of the office, and Jas, the financial director of "Faceface" technology, and Padrik, the president of GR Group, came in. These two, one is a close friend promoted by Elaine, and the other is originally The senior vice president of GR Group, after Lu Ning acquired the GR Group, the former president resigned, and Lu Ning, who has not found a suitable candidate, let the senior vice president take up the post of president.

Originally, I wanted to replace this person after finding a suitable candidate, but I never thought that this senior vice president did a decent job. Not only did he help the group arrange the resignation of all employees, but he also sold During the negotiation of the land, a lot of profits were won for the group, which made Lu Ning very satisfied with Padrik.

If they can do so well, then there is really no need to change people. Moreover, taking a step back, this Padrik is just in charge of the England headquarters. All the key projects of the GR Group are in Shanghai. Moreover, Qin Lan is in charge of everything. As for other overseas affairs, most of them have to follow the arrangements of Yi Lianjia, and there is nothing wrong with calling it a puppet.

Therefore, Padrik's position has hardly been moved, and this one does not have too much ambition. He is a loyal person, and he just needs to do his own thing well. Moreover, Lu Ning did not treat this one badly. The money given was three times that of when he was the senior vice president. Padrik was already satisfied. He was in charge of a headquarters that existed in name only, and there were dozens of good people under him, so there was nothing wrong with it.

"Boss, President." The two greeted Lu Ning and Elaine Ka respectively after entering the door.

"Sit." Elaine still rings her chest, her face looks stinky, obviously, in her own territory, Elaine has no need to put on a show, Jas and Padrik look at each other, well, it looks like today's president I'm in a bad mood, it seems that I have to be more careful for a while, don't be cannon fodder.

These two high-level figures of the "face-to-face" technology are so cautious in front of Elaine Ka, well, it seems that in the "face-to-face" technology, Elaine Ka definitely belongs to the level of a "living Hades" president figure.

Jas and Patrick didn't even dare to sit on their buttocks at this time, that is, they were close to the edge of the sofa, making sure that they could sit firmly. , really made Lu Ning a little dumbfounded, and really didn't know how many times Elaine had been tortured to become like this.

"Okay, both of you, let's talk about tomorrow's affairs. You all know that tomorrow is the first round of financing of GR Group. Tell me, so far, our own valuation of GR Group." Lu Ning's words are helpful These two got rid of the siege. After all, in front of Elaine Ka, these two didn't look like senior executives.

"Boss, Wall Street's current valuation of us should be between US$260 billion and US$280 billion. However, this valuation is not acceptable to all investors. For example, bw and Volkswagen have also made special phone calls before. They wanted to participate in the first round of investment, but one of them offered a valuation of 180 billion, and the other was 200 billion, which is far from the current valuation on the market." As the financial manager of "faceface" technology Director, jas is very clear about this.

"No, based on the valuation of 300 billion tomorrow, bw and Volkswagen, hehe, these two car companies are not good partners. You know, they are masters who will eat the GR Group alive whenever they have the opportunity You know, before bw was the old owner of GR Group, didn't it just sell GR Group at a low price because of continuous loss of money, and now seeing GR Group make a comeback, you want to continue the frontier? Do him The Spring and Autumn Dream." Lu Ning was quite contemptuous of bw's approach, and of course, the public was not much better.

"Anyway, we won't accept investment from any car company. This must be the first priority." Elaine Ka made a summary of Lu Ning's words. On this point, Elaine Ka also agrees with Lu Ning very much. Yes, after all, colleagues are enemies, and when the time comes, some bullshit will happen in the game, and everyone's faces will be ugly, so it's simply a matter of not seeing it.

"Okay, Boss, President, there is no problem with this, but, is the valuation of 300 billion yuan?" Jas originally wanted to say whether it was too high. After all, even the most daring investment bank on Wall Street has a valuation Only 260 billion.

"Don't worry, this time, Lu's consortium and a subsidiary of the Rothschild family will participate in the investment, and both companies will take 10% of the shares. This price is acceptable to them."

Well, anyway, it's my own person, so it's okay to raise the price for myself. Besides, Lu Ning still feels that he has lost blood in his heart at the valuation of 300 billion.

"In our first round of financing, we released a total of 35% of the equity. You know, I only prepared 3 rounds of financing. Also, when the final listing, GR Group, Lu's Investment and Rothschild The shareholding ratio of the subsidiaries under the family must reach 51%, which is absolutely guaranteed.”

Chapter 821 "Cat"

Jas and Padrik looked at each other again. According to Lu Ning, only 30.00% of Wu's shares were released in this round of financing, and 20.00% of them were still given to his own people. The situation, you know, not a few companies are interested in the GR Group now, and those financial oligarchs are all eyeing the fat of the GR Group.

Moreover, this is only an American company, and there are many international giants who also want to get a share of the pie, but unfortunately, this time the financing obviously does not have their share.

"Okay, boss, I'll prepare the relevant documents in a while." Jas nodded in agreement.

"We can send our own valuation to these companies first, and tell them that the valuation of 300 billion can be accepted." GR Group has no shortage of investors.

But now Padrik still seems to be in a dream. He has served the gr group all his life, conscientiously, from a grassroots to a senior vice president. The former glory to the later decline.

As a nearly century-old car company, when Padrik first joined the group, it was officially the most glorious era of the GR group. Unfortunately, due to subsequent strategic mistakes and the lack of competitiveness of its own brand, the GR group gradually withdrew from the mainstream market , I know when bw took over the gr group.

Padrik thought that the GR Group had ushered in a savior, but unfortunately, the savior failed to bring the GR Group out of the predicament. Instead, the market became smaller and smaller. In the end, it became the weak point of the BW Group, and was sold to Lu at a low price. rather.

Lu Ning had just taken over for more than half a year. Due to the resignation of the president, Padrik was promoted to the top position. However, the president did not see the hope of the group's resurgence at all. Instead, he sold all the local factories and most of the employees resigned. Of course, Padraic was relieved that at least, Lu Ning did not treat them badly when it came to the resigned employees.

Padrik's thinking is also very simple. In the last time of the GR Group, standing on the last shift is worthy of this century-old car company, but unexpectedly, the situation will change suddenly after that, and the GR Group suddenly announces to enter the new In the field of energy vehicles, Padrik, the president of GR Group, is not familiar with this brand new field at all.

It wasn't until I went to the new factory in Shanghai that I realized that the GR Group was not only alive, but also opened up the field of new energy, becoming the only one who ate the cake.

Think about how much money Lu Ning spent when he wholly acquired the GR Group, and the total price was only 1500 million US dollars. Now, what the boss just said, the valuation is 300 billion, this magic has become, let Padre Ke himself couldn't believe it.

"Padrik, Padraic?" Just as Padraic was thinking wildly, Lu Ning's voice changed Padraic's spirit back.

"Ah, boss, I'm here, hello." Lu Ning glanced helplessly at Padrik, this guy, can he travel the universe in such a situation?

"Okay, Padrik, a new car launch, do you understand what I mean? At the new car launch in the United States, I called you this mission? No problem?" To be honest, Lu Ning really I'm a little worried about my decision, but it's obviously not very appropriate for such a press conference to be handed over to someone else instead of the current president of the GR Group.

"No problem, Boss, don't worry." At this moment, Padrik came to his senses. He knew that maybe this time the new car launch conference was the brightest moment of himself in the GR Group, and it would also make his career without any problems. sorry.

"Okay, Padraic, I believe in you, you can do it, by the way, the two press conferences will be held on the same day, I will be in Shanghai, and you will be in New York." All Lu Ning can do now is to give Padra Derek cheers.

This time, GR Group's new energy vehicles are only released in the Asia-Pacific region and the Americas. After all, the layout of super charging piles has not been completely perfected, and it will take time. Now, GR Group has accelerated its layout in the Europa region. However, due to the lack of funds The problem, the steps were still delayed.

Fortunately, this problem is short-lived. At least, after the acceptance of the first round of a+ financing tomorrow, GR Group will have enough cash to build super charging pile projects around the world.

The discussion ended like this, after Jas greeted Patrick, he left the president's office.

"Let's go, Elaine, it's time for dinner." Lu Ning stretched his waist and extended an invitation to Elaine.

However, it seems that Elaine is still playing petty temper, with a displeased expression on her face, these sexy lips, um, there is absolutely no problem with hanging a whole bottle of oil.

"Come on, Elaine, don't be like this. How about I go shopping with you in the afternoon?" Lu Ning felt helpless when he saw Elaine's expression. Well, coaxing women, Young Master Lu is still learning.

"No, I'm not interested." Elaine shook her head. Obviously, it's impossible to smooth out the resentment in Elaine's heart just by going shopping. I, Miss Elaine, also have my own pride.

"Okay, okay, Elaine, tell me, what can I do for you." Lu Ning made an exaggerated gentleman's salute, which made Elaine burst out laughing, but soon, He tried hard to sulk his face again.

"Well, if you are a gentleman now and invite me to watch a wonderful show on Broadway, maybe I can feel better." Elaine Ka put forward her own request, well, this one, who has been in love since she was a child I like musicals and dances, but my genes have made me a "big ocean horse", unable to engage in my favorite profession.

"Well, well, isn't there a gentleman here? So, Ms. Irina, I wonder if I have the honor to invite you to enjoy a wonderful musical on Broadway?"

"Okay, I reluctantly agree." Frowning her eyebrows, she made a gesture, and then put her little hand into Lu Ning's outstretched palm.

Well, every day on Broadway at 1:50 p.m., there will be a performance. Lu Ning directly called the ticket office of Broadway for consultation. Since today is not a weekend, there are still many vacancies for sale. Lu Ning made a reservation, which is on the second floor The private room for couples, so to speak, is actually just a double seat connected together, but the price is twice that of a normal seat.
