Vol 6 Chapter 54: Unexpected opposition

"I'm back," Huang Jingping got up from the sofa as soon as he opened the door and took the coat in his hand.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" Feng Yiping looked at his watch, and it was already past 12 o'clock.

"It just happens that there is accumulated work to deal with," Huang Jingping said.

"Was it all right?" she asked.

"Quite smoothly," Feng Yiping sat down on the sofa holding her, just like the couple who had just bid farewell, with a little excitement in his heart.

After all, being able to play a role in such an event will not only bring great benefits to oneself in the future, but as a Chinese, being able to participate in such a process has a taboo sense of accomplishment.

"Chicago can be said to be our blessed land,"

He didn't expect it at the beginning, but according to Jin Ling's suggestion, NAVTEQ, who had been losing money for a long time and hadn't seen any improvement for a long time, was able to meet Comrade Ouhei.

To be honest, if it weren't for that encounter at the signing ceremony, he wouldn't know that the next Mr. President had such a big connection with Chicago.

He always thought that before entering the White House, O'Hei had been working hard in his birthplace of Hawaii. After all, he was seen on the news several times to go back to Hawaii for vacation, just like Bush Jr. often goes back to the Texas farm for vacation. .

Even with the characteristics of politicians employing people forward rather than backwards, he also believes that in the future, he will definitely have a different position from others in the eyes of Ouhei.

After all, when I met him for the first time and expressed his appreciation and support for him, he was just a senator from Illinois who failed to run for the House of Representatives and was not even an associate professor at the University of Chicago.

It can be said to be an unassuming little person.

Later, he encouraged him to run for the Senate of Congress, and provided him with assistance from talents, campaign promotion, to funding, including helping him expand his contacts, introducing him to Jobs, Google’s Page and Brin, etc., the top Silicon Valley character.

Now I also spare no effort to support his running for president.

If you get acquainted with him as a senator of Congress and do these things, Ouhei will inevitably remain vigilant and think that he is making a political investment. After all, every one of the 100 senators can Said to be a pivotal figure in American political circles.

So at least, in the mind of the future president, he will definitely be a trustworthy friend, or a friend who has a very accurate view of the general economic situation and is very capable in business.

Such a sense of accomplishment, it can be said, quite a sense of accomplishment.

Huang Jingping smiled and looked at him, "Where is not your blessed land?"

Indeed, for the current Feng Yiping, no matter where he goes, he will be treated kindly.

"Yes, mainly because you are my greatest blessing," Feng Yiping squeezed her face a few times.

"Fuyuan, can we go to rest now?"

"It sounds like I just came back from the army," Huang Jingping laughed a few times, "then go to sleep, boy,"

Guy? This seems to be meaningful!

This is destined to be a romantic winter night.

…………

NAVTEQ, seeing Feng Yiping being greeted by Collins into his office, several management board members couldn't help whispering. Today's board of directors is really full of people.

So much so that even the famous Mr. Feng participated personally.

If I remember correctly, this should also be the first time he has participated in the board of directors in person.

Sure enough, money is the most attractive.

"Or just drink water?" Collins asked.

"Yes, Thanks,"

"Go and boil the mineral water," Collins told his secretary.

For Feng Yiping, he really received meticulously.

"Good news," he said as soon as the secretary went out, "I explained your intentions to several directors on the board of directors, and they all expressed their understanding, so your proposal will be passed smoothly at today's meeting. ,"

These tasks are also safe to be done in the first place, otherwise, it would not be because the proposer is Feng Yiping, who can get the support of most of the board of directors.

"Thank you Collins,"

Feng Yiping knew that things were definitely not as easy as he said now, and it was taken for granted.

It is estimated that Collins must make various promises and exchanges.

However, the trust and unconditional support I have always placed in him is worthy of his return.

My initial investment in NAVTEQ not only provided much-needed financial support for the development of NAVTEQ, but also provided great support to Collins.

When a company led by one person has been in adversity for several years, the investment of a well-known business star can be said to have a lot of meaning.

Not only can it boost the company's confidence, it will naturally help consolidate the position of the person in charge.

After Feng Yiping joined the board of directors, his representatives on the board, whether it was the original Mike, or the later Buchanan and Cummins, have unconditionally supported Collins on various agendas, which is even more rare and precious.

"Yes, your support for this acquisition is more important," Collins said.

…………

Feng Yiping followed Collins, and when the last one entered the meeting room, he was warmly welcomed by all the directors.

NAVTEQ’s board of directors, including three independent directors, has a total of 11 members, ranging in age from Feng Yiping’s 27 to a man with silver hair, who looks like a 72-year-old man.

The old gentleman first stopped applause and shook hands with Feng Yiping, "It's nice to meet you, Mr. Feng,"

"Me too, Mr. Miles,"

This Mr. Miles is one of the independent directors, and he unsurprisingly has a political background.

For political elites like him who have bid farewell to politics, serving as an independent director of a well-known company is also a customary pattern.

A middle-aged man with glasses is another independent director, from Northwestern University, a well-known professor at this well-known American university.

"Feng, it's nice to meet you,"

"Hello Professor George,"

"I have a small request," George took out two books from his briefcase. "Can you sign me?"

Those two books are naturally the two monographs that Feng Yiping has published so far, Blue Ocean Strategy and Big Data.

"George, what a coincidence?" Another independent director, Ms. Mary from Boeing, was a middle-aged white lady with short hair, well-dressed and well-maintained.

She also took out two books from her LV bag, "I want Feng to do the same thing,"

"Mr. Feng, it's nice to meet you. Your two monographs have provided me with great help and inspiration until now."

"Thank you, it's my pleasure,"

At the other end of the conference room, a middle-aged man with thick hair and a well-managed body, wearing a custom suit, still applauding, smiled and whispered to the people around him, "It's like a signing event,"

"No, Roy, this is a fan meeting," said the slightly bald, but taller, middle-aged man with glasses next to him.

"Henry, do you know?" A representative from Wall Street among NAVTEQ shareholders, specifically, Morgan's executive, Noy, said to Henry, who is from a well-known American fund, "if they know, this A fund owned by Mr. Feng has purchased up to US$800 million of CDS from us, of which 500 million are B-level mortgage securities. Now every month,"

He paused, "I do the math, judging from the recent rise in real estate securities, he has recently paid us millions of dollars in insurance premiums in vain every month."

Noy was a little bit proud.

After all, in Feng Yiping's current situation, it can be said that there has been a major mistake in the investment, and most people rarely have the opportunity to know.

Not only did Noy know, but Feng Yiping still made such a mistake in the process of dealing with his company.

This makes him even more proud.

What if you are famous for having good eyesight? Isn't it when you misunderstood or missed?

"Hehe, you said, if his two fans knew about this situation, how do you feel?"

"Normal," Henry said. "After all, even Buffett has times when his investment fails."

"Come on," he touched Noy, smiled and greeted Feng Yiping who came by, "Hello Mr. Feng,"

Noy also smiled and bowed to shake hands with Feng Yiping, "Mr. Feng, it's an honor to see you again,"

"Oh, hello, wait," Feng Yiping thought for a while, "Noy, isn't it ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ It's me Mr. Feng, do you have any acquisition projects recently? I look forward to working for you again Opportunity,"

In previous acquisitions by Feng Yiping, Morgan, where Noy worked, had also become a consultant for Feng Yiping.

Noy also went to Silicon Valley to work for Feng Yiping.

"I think there should be a chance," Feng Yiping said.

When this different board of directors came to an end, Collins officially presided over the board of directors, "Ladies and gentlemen, please take a seat,"

"It is an honor for Mr. Feng to personally participate in this board of directors,"

There was another round of applause in the conference room.

"The main purpose of the board of directors this time is very clear to all directors. It is an extraordinary board of directors for the company and the shareholders."

"This board of directors will have a profound impact on the company's future development and will directly affect the fundamental interests of shareholders..."

"...Next, we will discuss the first topic of this meeting, the proposal raised by Director Yiping Feng, Jiasheng China, to acquire a joint venture between us and Jiasheng in China,"

Feng Yiping looked at the meeting materials in front of him and did not speak.

Collins is about to say it again. Professor George has already begun to speak, "In view of the topics we will discuss next, I fully understand the proposal of our Chinese partner."

This is the meaning of approval.

The Jiasheng Map, a joint venture between NAVTEQ and Jiasheng, is currently on the right track for development in China. Under such circumstances, it is natural to complete the acquisition ahead of schedule to prevent NAVTEQ's acquisition negotiations from having an impact on it.

But before anyone else could agree, Morgan’s Noy smiled and said, “I oppose this proposal on behalf of Morgan.”

Suddenly he was shocked.
