Chapter 227

At 2 p.m., Li Feng and his party left the villa and arrived at the headquarters building of Goldman Sachs on broad street in downtown Manhattan.

Naturally, a group of media reporters followed behind his small team. When Li Feng and his party arrived at Goldman Sachs, many media reporters couldn't help thinking.

After all, it should not be boring for people like Li Feng to visit Goldman Sachs. Many people realize that maybe there is some big news next.

Is it Li Feng's company going public or something else? Many reporters have been guessing the intention of Li Feng and his party.

Especially when Henry Paulson, the current president of Goldman Sachs, greeted him personally, it made the media reporters excited. Naturally, the photos of the group became the witness of the reporters behind him.

The necessary security personnel were left. With Li Feng and his party entering the Goldman Sachs building accompanied by Henry Paulson, President of Goldman Sachs, only media reporters were left to catch the blind below, and smart reporters were already calling for the support of the headquarters behind.

Not to mention the speculation of the following media reporters, Li Feng is still looking forward to entering the famous Goldman Sachs. After all, such a company only heard its name in previous lives. This time, he always looks forward to having a chance to see it.

Unfortunately, the facts are always unexpected. Li Feng turned around and found that this is the case. The office environment of his investment company is not much better.

……

When the two sides go to a large conference room, it will be the performance time of Adam and his party. Yes, Adam brought negotiators, and Goldman Sachs also had the president of the asset management department to play in person and began to quarrel with Adam.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Adam and Goldman offered $1.4 billion, while Goldman offered $1.8 billion. There was a gap of $400 million. Naturally, they began to bargain.

As I said before, two years ago, David Rockefeller, the current leader of the Rockefeller family, wanted to buy back the Rockefeller Center. Naturally, Goldman Sachs controlled 14 main buildings built in the center before World War II.

At that time, David's offer was only $1.3 billion. This time, according to Adam, the value of $1.5 billion of Rockefeller Center was a reasonable price, and Li Feng guaranteed cash payment.

Naturally, Li Feng's company didn't have so much money, but Adam had discussed with the president of Bank of America, headquartered in California, asking the bank to help carry the pot, and directly mortgaged it with the real estate company, which was approved by the bank.

After all, if we can really buy Rockefeller Center, the real estate company will be valuable. As for the loan of more than 1 billion, it is really nothing compared with century real estate at that time.

Even banks can't afford century real estate companies. Banks can receive many high-quality assets under the names of Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center and real estate companies.

……

In this way, an afternoon passed in the dispute, but neither side reached an agreement. However, Adam has mentioned $1.5 billion, and Goldman Sachs has dropped to $1.7 billion, and the price has begun to approach.

Li Feng also knew that the acquisition of such a project could not be completed in a short time. Therefore, after arguing for an afternoon, they went back to their homes and prepared to start tomorrow.

"Ringling..."

Just back home, Li Feng's private phone suddenly rang hurriedly.

"Hi, Kenny, why are you free to call me at this time? I didn't say you've gone back to the UAE."

Li Feng knows that Kenny is now the general manager of the UAE branch of an oil company, so he needs to be resident in the UAE.

"John, I heard you're going to buy Rockefeller Center. It's true."

Well, when he heard Kenny's calm question on the other end of the phone, Li Feng was depressed. He agreed to keep it a secret. As soon as he left Goldman Sachs, someone knew after his front foot left.

But it's not strange to think about the Rockefeller family. After all, it doesn't involve itself, and it's normal to spread it. What's more, it's a rich family like the Rockefeller family that has been inherited for hundreds of years. They don't know anything when there's trouble in New York.

"You say this, Kenny, I have such an idea, but there is no result. The negotiations have just begun today?" Li Feng didn't cheat others, but he told the truth.

……

"Then can I ask if we can also join some, John, if so, you will get the friendship of our Rockefeller family."

Hearing the voice from the phone, Li Feng was moved. Although the friendship of the Rockefeller family sounds empty, if he can really become a close partner with the Rockefeller family, he will really have no worries about developing himself in the United States in the future.

"Kenny, if I allow the Rockefeller family to participate, will the management of the Rockefeller Center listen to me or your family after the successful acquisition?

For example, if I succeed, I will change my name, such as' Rockefeller Century Center, or century Rockefeller Center '. " Naturally, Li Feng would not immediately agree, and then asked with a smile.

"In fact, the family just hopes that we can keep a certain share and participate in the Rockefeller Center. It doesn't have to be controlled. Therefore, John, you can do as you want." Kenny was very honest and told Li Feng the truth.

"Well, Kenny, send a message to your elders. I agree that they should participate, but my company is the main thing. If your elders agree, you can let them contact me.

In fact, Kenny, I have a little doubt that the value of Rockefeller Center is not very high. You can buy it back. Why has it not been successful? " Li Feng asked his doubts all the time.

……

In fact, according to the current value of the Rockefeller Center, it is really not as high as people think. Today, the main body of the 14 buildings of the Rockefeller Center is only $1.5 billion or $1.6 billion.

You should know that those new skyscrapers often cost hundreds of millions of dollars or even billions of dollars. For example, Goldman Sachs later established its headquarters building, which is said to cost up to $2 billion.

"The main reason is that the price was not agreed. In the past, we finally offered $1.4 billion, while Goldman Sachs insisted on $1.5 billion. Finally, it was shelved because of the price difference of $100 million." Kenny replied helplessly.

"Shit"

Hearing Kenny's words opposite, Li Feng couldn't help scolding.

It has to be said that the values of Europe and America are completely different from those of China.

If one of the symbols of one's own family is acquired in China and has the opportunity to buy back such a symbol, those families will certainly get it back. Unfortunately, Europe and the United States have been educated since childhood. Business behavior is business behavior and can't be emotional.

Just for this 100 million US dollars, he did not want his family logo. In Li Feng's opinion, he is really a little mentally disabled. Naturally, Li Feng's mentality is still Chinese.

……

At the end of the conversation with Kenny, Li Feng felt a sense. Although Kenny meant pure business behavior on the phone, he thought the price was high a few years ago.

In fact, in Li Feng's view, the Rockefeller family had the idea of picking up bargains during the real estate recession in the past few years. Unfortunately, when they met a company such as Goldman Sachs, they would rather hit them than cut prices.

At the same time, Li Feng also expressed doubts about the strength of the Rockefeller family. If the family really has a huge wealth and controls tens of billions of dollars, is this 100 million dollars really unwilling to come out.

It can only be said that the family is really just a reputation. Although it can be rich for a lifetime, if it is like this, it will decline completely one day.

What Li Feng didn't know was that Kenny and Li Feng talked directly to the family again after talking on the phone, and relayed the conversation with Li Feng, especially the explanation of adding the word "century" to the name of Rockefeller Center, which made the family leaders blow their beard and stare, but finally reached an agreement.

That night, David Rockefeller, the old guy, drove directly from Rockefeller Manor on long island towards Li Feng's villa. Obviously, the Rockefeller family was also a little anxious.

After all, Rockefeller Center has always been one of the family symbols. If Li Feng wants to buy it completely, it really has nothing to do with his family.

Naturally, when David Rockefeller visited Li Fengzi's Century Mansion in New York that day, his photos made many headlines in the local media of New York the next day.

Yang Zhiyuan called again to complain jokingly, saying that Li Feng's success in seizing the camera again deprived him of many opportunities to promote Yahoo.
