Chapter 392

April 25.

On this day, Zucker sent representatives to Seattle.

"Welcome! Welcome

"I'm Mondo Gusta, deputy mayor of Seattle. Welcome Mr. Liszt to Seattle."

Mundo Gusta, male, 43 years old, has served as a member of the Seattle City Council, a member of the Washington State Council, and director of the mayor's office. Currently, he is the deputy mayor of Seattle, in charge of economic construction.

"You're welcome, Mr. Gusta. If there is no accident, I hope this is our last negotiation! " Said little Baggio Lister.

As a member of the Zucker think tank, he once worked as the vice president of Aviva insurance company. He is good at information collection and negotiation.

Gusta said solemnly: "of course, I also very much hope that we can reach an agreement in this negotiation."

Liszt said with a smile: "I wish us a happy cooperation."

"Well, good cooperation!" Deputy mayor Gusta said firmly.

Soon... On the construction of the science and Technology Industrial Park, the local government of Seattle and the representatives of Zhuke officially started negotiations.

Negotiation!

As a matter of fact, since June 1999, after he visited Seattle, he decided to invest here. Well, he invested a lot of money, so he constantly sent people to negotiate with the local government.

However, in terms of bank loans, loan interest, local enterprise tax, preferential policies, public transport construction, resettlement of migrant residents

On these issues, there are differences between the two sides.

Especially bank loans!

The outbreak of the Internet bubble, a large number of enterprises bankruptcy, implicated in many banks, bad debts, bad debts, dead debts meet the eye everywhere, banks lack money.

"Mr. Gusta, many local banks in Seattle are closely related to your government. With your guarantee and the financial resources of my boss, Mr. Zucker Wald, how can there be default?"

"The 800 million dollar bank loan is not a problem for the local banks in Seattle," said barjo Lister, Jr

Gustaton laughed bitterly at the words.

Several representatives of the banking sector who accompanied Gusta on the negotiation team were also slightly out of the mouth.

800 million dollars in loans, that's easy to say.

Now, however, who doesn't know that with the economic downturn and the continued depreciation of the US dollar, Zhuke wants to borrow a lot from the banks. In short, he wants to take advantage of the banks.

After exchanging views with several bank representatives, Gusta replied, "Mr. Liszt, the bank can lend your company 800 million US dollars, and the annual interest rate must reach 6.3%."

The voice just dropped.

Listerton got angry when he was young.

"You are so insincere!"

"According to the current banking law in Seattle, the annual repayment interest for 5-7 years is 6.1%. And our boss lent you 800 million US dollars, not only without any preferential treatment, but also 0.2% more than that? "

Liszt spoke with a face full of anger.

The team members who came along with us also had a great posture of going without saying a word. At a time when the U.S. economy is going down, Zhuke's team really doesn't worry about these banks.

Gusta: "

Representatives of the bank

At this critical moment, Liszt threw out a major bait.

"On the basis of the total investment of 3 billion, the science and technology park will add 1 billion US dollars to the total investment of 4 billion US dollars."

"At the same time, from 2000 to 2002, the total investment of the first phase will not be less than 2 billion US dollars!"

As soon as the voice dropped, the Seattle negotiation team immediately knelt down.

Especially the vice mayor of Seattle, Gusta, is more excited than ever.

The science and technology park with a total investment of 4 billion US dollars is divided into various subsidiary industries and multiple income industries. How many jobs will it bring? What huge economic benefits can it bring?

These are all achievements!

So Gusta compromised~

The banks have nothing to say.

"800 million US dollars bank loan, 4.5% annual repayment interest!"

——This is the final decision.

At the same time, on the local enterprise tax, preferential policies, public transport construction and other issues, little Baggio Liszt also won the greatest interests for Zhuke.

The science and Technology Park, which covers an area of about 900 acres (about 5400 acres), has reached an agreement today after nearly 10 months of negotiation.

.......

The total investment of the first phase of the science and technology park is up to US $2 billion!

The bank borrowed $800 million, which means that Zucker will provide another $1.2 billion in cash.

On this issue, Zhuke has exchanged views with the think tank.

"If I take the project of science and Technology Park as a mortgage, can I borrow a lot of money from other banks?" Asked Zucker.

It's obvious that Zhuke is going to use the White Wolf empty handed.

However, Zhuke's idea was rejected by the members of the think tank.

Little Baggio Lister shook his head on the phone and said, "boss, if your project is a real estate project or a commercial real estate project, I can lend you no less than $2 billion in cash from the bank in three days. Unfortunately, the science and technology park can't do it!"

Miss Anna, a private financial consultant, also echoed: "the content of Internet stocks and technology stocks has fallen sharply. In today's environment, banks dare not lend so much money."

"Eh?"

Zucker was choked.

It's obviously not suitable to cover the white wolf with empty hands.

........

After the signing of the agreement on science and technology park with a total price of US $4 billion and the first phase investment of US $2 billion, the two sides left and announced the "shocking" news.

All of a sudden, the local voice of Seattle was full of joy!

"Mr. ward, it's just in time to rain!" A middle-aged woman sighed.

"It's true. Today, the U.S. economy is in decline, and all walks of life are seriously damaged. In particular, Amazon, the pride of Seattle, has seen its market value plummet. " A middle school teacher sighed.

After the Internet bubble exploded, there were as many as 100 enterprises in Seattle bankrupt, and the unemployed population was as high as 14 thousand.

There is no doubt that the huge number of unemployed people will cause great social pressure on Seattle's economy, politics, public security and other aspects.

But now it's different!

Zucker's investment in Seattle can solve the re employment problem of at least 3000 people and greatly relieve the local pressure.

Seattle government;

Seattle City Council;

State governments, state legislatures;

Even the local business alliances, charities, and trade unions in various industries all spoke highly of and praised Zucker's participation in Seattle investment.

[conscientious entrepreneur]

This is Zhuke's new title after the titles of "cunning guy", "miser", "genius director", "little emperor of TV" and "little king of venture capital".

Moreover, still do not accept the title of refutation!

If someone now puts forward different opinions or refutes this title, then the Seattle government and the 4 million people in Seattle can spit you to death!!!

Investment and construction of science and technology park is undoubtedly a project with slow effect, long cycle and difficult cost recovery. Even within 10 years, Zhuke is hard to recover the investment, but... It can greatly enrich Zhuke's industry, strengthen Zhuke's inside information, and make those crafty people who want to swallow Zhuke's assets dare not talk about it.

The second watch is on.
