Christine dares to swear that she hasn't encountered such a funny thing in her life. A so-called investor wants to invest in her Coreymont company to help the company reverse the crisis of lack of funds.
When we first met, the outrageous young investor actually told himself that he could not book a seat in the restaurant he had made an appointment, so there was no way, everyone had to talk differently.
To be honest, if it weren't for Bennett's introduction, Christine would have really regarded the two men in front of him as scammers, but if you think about it carefully, these two guys didn't look like liars, because their scam was too low-level.
So after some trade-offs, Christine accepted Lee Zai'an's invitation. Before getting on the bus, she said to Lee Zai'an: Mr. Paul, it seems that your secretary is not competent. As a wise choice, you should fire her.
In Christine's opinion, the reason why Li Zai'an failed to book a seat in the restaurant today was probably because the secretary was not responsible, but she didn't know that the investor had no secretary at all, and there were a lot of thugs and bodyguards.
This guy Brent is really unreliable. When he chose the dining location for the second time, Li Zaian decided to make his own decision. He directly chose the resort restaurant in Lisseton Sea View Garden. To be honest, the environment there is actually better, it is just not open to the public.
After following Lee Zai'an's car, Christine drove her Camar through half of the Southern District of New York. When she finally entered the Lissetton Seaview Garden, she finally confirmed one thing: Lee Zai'an might really have the ability to invest in Coreymont.
As the current controller of Coreymont, no one knows better than Christine how difficult the company is
To be honest, the bank's understanding of Coreymont is only based on the books, and many things on the books can be faked. The difference is the question of how much water is involved.
Today, Coreymont not only owes large bank loans that cannot be paid off as scheduled, but also owes a lot of foreign debts, including a million dollars in funding for ordering equipment.
In addition, the company is also in a dispute with the union for the wages of workers. If this situation continues, the union will first sue her, a foreign capitalist, before the company declares bankruptcy. At that time, she is likely to face a penalty of millions of dollars.
For a business operator, the most painful thing is to watch the company he runs go bankrupt, and the most painful thing is to watch a chance to reverse the trend before going bankrupt, and lose it in vain because of an inadequate investment that cannot be used.
Yes, Christine has not realized where the company's real crisis is. She believes that the company's dilemma is just a funding issue.
Mr. Paul, do you know how big the funding gap is in Coreymont? Christine obviously does not have much negotiation skills, and she shows her eagerness almost to the fullest.
The car was parked in the parking lot of Lisseton Seaview Park. She caught up with Li Zaian who was waiting in front and couldn't wait to ask such a question.
Li Zaian glanced at Brent who was a little impatient, reached out to the beach not far away, and said: Brent, please arrange lunch, I want to go there with Miss Christine.
Brent looked at him, then looked at Christine, and finally nodded with an ambiguous expression, turned around and walked towards the restaurant.
Miss Christine, when Brent walked away, Lee Zai'an took the lead in walking towards the beach, and asked without answering, Do you understand the situation in Jamaica?
Oh? Christine didn't expect that this person who is interested in investing in a company would ask such a question
I know that the reason why Coreymont has a broken capital chain problem is mainly because it is a shooting of the coffee planting field located in St. John's Peak in Jamaica. The investment of tens of millions of dollars has not yet brought any profit. The bank's loan arrears and the recent inappropriate new investment plan, combined with the combined efforts of Coreymont today, has caused Coreymont's dilemma today.
It seems that Mr. has made some basic understanding of Coreymon's situation. Christine took the conversation and explained, however, you should also be clear that Coreymon chose to adopt a strategy that focuses on the coffee industry. Although he seemed too impatient and reckless in the early stage and did not fully consider his own financial situation, this direction itself is not a problem in the international coffee trade in recent years...
Miss Christine, I know the trend of international coffee trade. I am from Brazil. In addition to thousands of hectares of coffee planting fields under my name, I am also paying attention to coffee futures trade. Li Zai'an interrupted her and said bluntly, but you must understand that doing industry and futures are not the same thing. If you are doing futures, then of course you can only consider the trend of international coffee trade and market factors. But since you are doing industry and it also involves overseas investment, then one issue you should consider is the situation in the country where you invest.
Li Zaian held his finger and counted: This situation includes many aspects, such as political situation, social stability, labor price factors, etc. So the first question I ask you is, do you understand the situation in Jamaica?
Of course, Christine replied without hesitation, I had been to Kingston some time ago and lived there for nearly two months. It was during that time that I won the lawsuit on behalf of the company and regained the ownership of the coffee field in St. John's Peak
So, you should also know that someone is coveting the coffee farming fields owned by the company? Li Zaian immediately asked
A hint of hesitation appeared on Christine's face. She hesitated for a moment and finally nodded and said: Mr., is he talking about Ucc? That coffee trader from Japan
Ucc company?Coffee on Island?
To be honest, Li Zai'an really didn't expect to get such an answer, but if you think about it carefully, it seems reasonable. After all, Ucc is the leading coffee dealer in Japan. Even in his previous life, it had a vast top coffee planting field in Jamaica.
Seeing Li Zai'an silent, Christine only said that he had a full understanding of this matter, so he no longer concealed it. Instead, he continued: Indeed, Ucc company proposed to me four years ago that he wanted to buy that planting field. At that time, the price they proposed was very high, but the planting field was one of the most promising commercial properties under the company's name, so I rejected them.
Shortly afterwards, a dispute with the Jamaican government broke out on the ownership of the planting field. Is that true? Li Zai'an asked
Yes, Christine nodded helplessly, I also know that there are signs of Ucc’s artificial operation behind this incident, but we still won the lawsuit, right?
Yes, but lawsuits and business are different. You can win the lawsuit, but you may not necessarily be able to do business. Li Zai'an stopped near the tide line, watched the sea water rolling over from the flat beach, and returned half a meter away in front of him, and said expressionlessly, I can make a prediction for you. Even if Coremon gets enough funds and reverses the current predicament, the coffee planting field in Jamaica will still not bring you any benefits in the short term.
I saw that Mr. Paul did not seem to have the intention to invest in Coreymont. Christine was a little annoyed. She lifted her long hair that was blown by the sea breeze and said with a cold face.
After all, from the beginning to now, Li Zai'an has been emphasizing the difficulties faced by Coremont, especially in his criticism of the coffee planting fields in Jamaica, but he never mentioned the investment matters.
No, of course there will be investment, but I am considering which investment plan to use. Li Zai'an turned around, looked at the blonde woman beside him, smiled slightly, and said, I have three plans in total, so it's better for you to make the decision.
Oh, please tell me. Kristen opened her eyes wide, her light blue eyes staring at Li Zaian's face
The first plan, I took out $10 million to buy the coffee planting field in Jamaica, although the price is far less than the 15 million you bid for at the time, but it is definitely not lower than the price given by Ucc. Li Zaian said in a hurry.
Christine turned her head and showed disdain for the plan
In fact, she also knew that the land was not worth so much money. The reason why the company spent 15 million was because there were three wealthy Japanese companies among the bidding companies. At that time, the strong Japanese people wanted to buy the whole world. Without the super high premium, the company would not get the land at all.
Now, Japan's economic bubble has burst. In addition to companies that are truly committed to developing the coffee industry, those consortiums that only invest in real estate have withdrawn from the game. The inflated prices of coffee fields have fallen in the short term. The planting field under Korimeng has naturally experienced a process of price shrinkage.
According to the price given by the Bank of America, that piece of land is not worth even ten million, not to mention 15 million.
But as Christine said before, Coreymont has no way out now. It is the only way out for the company to continue to move on the coffee industry. In this case, Christine will never sell the planting fields anyway.
The second plan is that I invest 18 million yuan in your company at one time in exchange for 51% of your company's equity. Li Zaian is not in a hurry to let the other party make a decision, he continued
This plan is not within Christine's consideration. Coreymont is a family-owned enterprise and is the property of Christine's family. If Li Zai'an takes away 51% of the company's equity, the company will be given to others.
The company that my father's lifelong energy cannot be destroyed in his own hands anyway. This is what Christine attaches most importance to
The third plan is a bet agreement. I want to use my prediction to bet a game with Miss Christine's confidence. Li Zai'an said
Oh? Is the bet? Christine turned around and said curiously
That's right, it's a bet. Li Zaian smiled and said, I can invest 25 million in your company in four phases within two months to alleviate your company's thirst. In these two months, if your company can put that planting field into operation, even if it's just completing the work of seedling cultivation, it will be considered Miss Christine's victory, otherwise, I will win.
If Miss Christine is lucky enough to win, then my investment is a loan, repayment period of five years, and I don’t want any interest on you. Otherwise, if Miss Christine, you unfortunately lose this bet, then not only your company, but also your own miss, you will belong to me. At that time, Miss Christine, you will become my sex slave, and you cannot raise any objection to any orders you have to me.
Mr. Paul, are you sure this is not a joke? Christine didn't expect the other party to propose such an outrageous condition. She was stunned for a moment, and then she said a little angrily
Will you joke about a $25 million investment? Li Zaian shrugged and said in a relaxed tone, I believe Miss Christine should be very clear in her heart that each of these three investment plans is fair. Except for me, there will probably be no other person to give you such conditions. As for what you need to do now, it is to choose to reject my conditions, or choose any of the three plans and sign an agreement with me.
Who are you? Christine stared at him and asked after a long time
A fool with money and no place to spend, a boring bastard, or a playboy who despises feminism, whatever you think, Li Zaian smiled and said, You can doubt everything about me, but you don't have to doubt my sincerity and ability to pay. Mr. Bennett is happy to provide me with this guarantee
Well, Mr. Playboy, who is suspected to be a bastard, since you let me choose, I will choose the third plan. I took over this bet. Christine made a decision without even thinking much. She put her hands on her lower abdomen and said expressionlessly, hoping that the result will not disappoint you.
It is rare that you can have such confidence. Li Zaian sided and reached his hand in front of Christine, smiling, then, I wish you success first
Christine looked down at his hand, and did not shake hands with him, but asked: When will Mr. Paul sign an agreement with me, and when will the first fund be available at the earliest?
The agreement can be signed at any time, and the specific ones can be arranged by you. As for the funding issue, I can guarantee you that one week after the agreement is signed, the first five million US dollars will be received. Li Zaian said with a smile
Hopefully Mr. Paul is not joking with me. Christine finally reached out and held Li Zai'an while exhaling a breath and said
When we first met, the outrageous young investor actually told himself that he could not book a seat in the restaurant he had made an appointment, so there was no way, everyone had to talk differently.
