Vol 4 Chapter 294: Surprise

Although it is only 600 kilometers away from New York, Montreal, Canada, is already a scene of ice and snow at this time.

This city is the second largest city in Canada, with an average annual snowfall of 2.14 meters. If this is not a concept, then as long as you make a comparison, everyone will be impressed. Its average snowfall is larger than Moscow .

The severe cold weather led people to build a huge underground city in the city center, covering an area of ​​4 million square meters, with all kinds of service facilities, and it is also known as the second Montreal.

At this time, staying in the warm spring airport, looking at the heavy snow outside, Buchanan, who would have felt a little superior, was a little unaccustomed.

This airport is called Montreal Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, and it is naturally a person’s name.

Canada's once economic capital and the main airport of its second largest city, can bear his name, then he is naturally not a simple character.

This one is really not easy. He was born in Montreal. In April 1968, he ascended to the throne of the Prime Minister of Canada and stayed there until 1984, a full 16 years!

The presidents of the United States next door, watching his time in power, must have been drooling.

Later, he was often called the old Trudeau, this old, just like the old Bush.

The old Trudeau’s son is not a simple thing. He later removed Feng Yiping from Harper, who was now trying to establish a relationship. The young Trudeau, who successfully became prime minister, was called the most handsome prime minister in the world. That's it.

Of course, this is not what Buchanan is not used to.

It can be seen from the old Trudeau's name that he is of French origin.

So what makes Buchanan unaccustomed to is that in the airport of this fifteenth largest city in North America, its language turned out to be French.

This is another special place in Montreal. It is the center of "New France" during the French colonial period. Up to now, more than 60% of the people in this city speak French, so French is the official language of the city.

Therefore, this city with a population of more than 3 million is also the second largest French-speaking city in the world after Paris.

Language is a sign of culture. French is spoken here. French culture is naturally pursued. At the same time as romance, it is mostly a little loose. So at present, Montreal is the place where NEXTDOOR is making the slowest progress.

After ten o'clock, he finally saw Cummins and Emilia come out of the passage, "Quick, over here,"

I don't know which part of the problem is. In short, the flight is a bit delayed. Whether it is romantic or casual, the appointment time cannot be missed.

"I did some surveys in the outside world. The Imperial Bank Asset Management Company doesn't take the Netflix stocks in my hands seriously, that is, I don't like Netflix so optimistically, but I still have some expectations for it."

"As long as you don't pay attention to it," Cummins said, "Everything else is easy to say, that is, our visionary boss Feng wants to buy their stock. Their first reaction is that the stock in their hands is definitely a good thing. "

In the past two days, they have visited several institutional shareholders of Netflix non-stop, and their responses are similar to those of Dudley of the New Jersey Public Pension Fund. As long as the price is right, their chances of selling are still relatively large, but because of Feng Yiping’s vision, Their prices are generally relatively high.

"Feng probably never thought that his good reputation has become an obstacle to our work," Emilia said.

"I think your argument is great," Buchanan said. "It can dispel a lot of their doubts."

"By the way, Cummins, after today, I will also go back to Silicon Valley, and there may be some things that need your assistance,"

"I have also heard, yes, such a thing, naturally our boss is indispensable,"

Although the specific itinerary is confidential, the news about the Prime Minister's visit has been reported in the news, and they already know.

"With Feng's current conditions, do you still need such resources?" Emilia asked.

"Need, naturally," the two said almost in unison. "The more the better,"

Businessmen from the East and the West all value such things, but the reasons may still be somewhat different.

For domestic businessmen, especially private enterprises, being able to participate in such activities means official attention and a certain degree of approval.

In addition, there is a very important point. Most of them are difficult to be interviewed by national leaders. Follow-up is an opportunity. When they are abroad, leaders usually meet them by the way, at least they can shake hands, and some may even get one. Zhang group photo.

At home, a photo with a national leader is a very hard intangible asset.

There is this, that is, there is no commercial gain from follow-up, which is also very worthwhile.

Businessmen like the United States attending such events are naturally seeking business opportunities, but in addition, they will also have other purposes.

It should be said that under the American system, it is mainly the charity system (which has been introduced in the previous article and will not be repeated here). Some wealthy people in the United States really have some ideas and actions to change the world. They will attend such events with the President of the United States. Activities, then have the opportunity to instill their ideas to more and more powerful people.

Objectively speaking, at this point, the rich in our country are really far behind them.

For example, the Bobby Charity Dinner initiated by Buffett and Gates, although it does not have the conditions for global promotion and has its own considerations, it will still have a significant positive impact on the world.

And the rich in our country, to achieve this step, still have a considerable distance.

"What can I help?" Cummins asked.

"There should be those relationships that require you to contact you on Wall Street," Buchanan said.

This was explained by Jin Ling, even if you don't need it, you can make a preparation.

Naturally, this preparation will not be prepared for the Prime Minister's visit. It is not yet Feng Yiping's turn to worry about it. The point is, hehe, he can't worry about it either.

This preparation was made for those companies that were followed up in China.

Including the state-owned enterprises that came this time, their influence in the United States cannot be as great as Feng Yiping.

Even those domestic banks that came to the United States for development early on, because of their own business limitations and their influence in related areas, cannot be as extensive as Feng Yiping’s NEXTDOOR.

If time is not enough, you can arrange for some people on Wall Street to meet with the domestic companies that are following up this time, get to know, and chat for a few minutes.

Don't underestimate these few minutes, as long as you can leave contact information, the relationship can be maintained in the future.

In doing so, Jiasheng can be regarded as a good seller for domestic enterprises. By the way, it also shows a small show of strength.

For a person like Feng Yiping who is particularly afraid of troubles, he should do more in the future to expose his strength.

It makes people feel the gap, and it is better to put out some careful thoughts that shouldn't be done than to have a conflict in the future.

"No problem," Cummins agreed readily, and didn't say why Feng Yiping was not allowed to contact him.

Feng Yiping's relationship with some of the big men on Wall Street is indeed quite good, but the boss can't let the boss do everything. If he can't make an appointment, Feng Yiping will call again.

"Here," Buchanan said, pointing to the office building in front. "I hope we can have a good result this time."

"The first contact, without a clear rejection, is a good result," Cummins said.

However, the situation seemed to be more optimistic than they thought. The Mr. Luke they wanted to meet went downstairs to greet him in person. "Welcome the three of you to visit together," Luke warmly welcomed them upstairs.

"We have long been known to your company and that Mr. Feng,"

"Thank you," Cummins said.

"Although this proposal is a bit abrupt, but I still want to ask a few people for their opinions,"

Just entering the office, after a few greetings, Luke said suddenly.

It seems that he is so enthusiastic, most of the reason lies in this proposal.

"I believe Mr. Luke's proposal will be very helpful to us," Cummins said with a needle in Mianli.

"I think so," Luke could naturally hear what he meant, and don't say anything that didn't help.

"After this meeting is over, our bank colleagues hope to have a chance to meet the three of you."

A colleague from the bank? There seems to be nothing wrong with this.

The Canadian Empire Commercial Bank Asset Management Company is naturally backed by the Canadian Empire Commercial Bank, which is a bank that has been established for nearly 140 years.

At present, it has developed into one of the largest commercial banks in North America. In the 90s of the last world, it has become one of the world's 50 largest banks, and has long been involved in securities, mergers and acquisitions, restructuring, and insurance.

Even if it is not needed in the future, it is of course beneficial to establish contact with such a powerful bank.

Cummins wants to go further, so is it possible to use their bank money to buy Netflix shares in their hands?

It seems that it is not something that cannot be worked, at least they take the initiative to extend an olive branch, and there should be consideration for cooperation.

"We are very happy," Cummins said.

The more he thinks about it, the more he feels that his idea is good. If their Netflix shares are intended for sale, they really don't necessarily oppose this approach.

Selling stocks, they can earn once, and the money for buying stocks, if it’s a loan, can earn again. If a business can earn twice, they can also make a relationship with a very promising company like NEXTDOOR. In fact, by the way, other companies that Feng Yiping has a share in, such as Google, have a relationship, which is also a good thing with three birds with one stone.

For Cummins, this is also a good thing. With such considerations, they have reasons to be more optimistic about the purchase of stocks this time. Maybe the other party wants to do this kind of business more.

On the other hand, before such a large-scale acquisition, the more sufficient funds are naturally prepared, the better.

This is really a surprise.

As a result, the smiles on both sides became more real, "Mr. Luke, you must be clear about my intentions this time, about Netflix..."

…………

In a western restaurant in San Francisco, nine reporters who are about to return to China tomorrow gathered at a long table, enthusiastically discussing their experiences and gains in the past few days. By this time, including the six newspaper reporters, they would have nothing to do. perturbed.

Although the previous interview didn’t cause much response, it didn’t matter. The manuscripts they wrote in the past few days are definitely the highest-quality batch of reports on Silicon Valley among the domestic counterparts, and it’s really easy to come later. Do better than them.

"Here," Li Zhixiong whispered.

Several cars stopped outside the restaurant, and Feng Yiping got off the yellow Hummer in the middle, waited a little at the door, and a large crowd of people gathered immediately around him.

Reporter Yao saw Feng Yiping walked in surrounded by a group of people, and couldn't help but say, "Sure enough, it's Feng Yiping. There is such a big movement during meals.

Li Zhixiong distinguished, "They are all senior executives of his company. This should be a dinner of the nature of a gathering by the way."

Reporter Yao took a look. Feng Yiping and the people around him seemed to be still talking about work, and he said, "Sure enough, it's Feng Yiping, and I have to talk about work even after meals."

"It's worthy of a name," Li Zhixiong said again.

Li Zhixiong guessed it right, because he wanted to see them off~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Feng Yiping came to a dinner together and brought the Tesla people over.

Cummins and Buchanan, who also just arrived, reported to him the results of this morning's meeting. Although it has not been finalized, it is the best one among the major shareholders of the institution that they have contacted these days.

As for the olive branch of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, "This bank is very strong?"

"Very strong, one of the six largest banks in Canada, and this year has been the bank with the best dividend yield in Canada.

The dividend rate is high, which naturally shows that it is doing well.

"Then I have no opinion," but he is thinking about another question at this time. It seems that these banks in Canada can be considered to participate in Google's listing.

Canada is also a rich and veteran country. It is certainly a good thing for Canadian institutions and people to participate in Google's subscription. It turns out that Google Ipo almost failed. The main reason is that the subscription is insufficient and the issue price has to be lowered repeatedly.

Feng Yiping naturally didn't want to let this happen again, because a point higher in Google's release price would mean a higher net worth.
