Chapter 229

"Mr. Li, please wait a moment. I'll report to the board of directors."

Paulson also felt that Li Feng's bid should be the final price, so he directly stopped the negotiations and was ready to pay back with the board of Goldman Sachs.

"OK, please!"

"Boss, 1.6 billion dollars is a little high. Today's Rockefeller Center is not worth it." Adam then smiled and said to Li Feng.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter. I'm tired of this situation. Let's do it. If I can succeed, even if I can't, I may have a chance in the future. Who knows." Li Feng also replied with a smile.

Li Feng knows that Adam said this to put some pressure on Goldman Sachs so as not to be a wronged leader.

Hearing Adam's words, Paulson turned pale, motioned to the crowd and walked out of the conference room.

……

"Thank you for your hard work. Your performance this time is very excellent. When you succeed here, I'll congratulate you." Watching Paulson leave the conference room, Li Feng immediately turned to the negotiators around him.

"Boss, this is what we should do."

"Indeed, we should thank the boss for giving us such a rare opportunity. Such an opportunity may only be once in a lifetime, but the boss gave us two opportunities in just a few months. It's too rare."

“……”

Listening to all his subordinates talking to him with a smile on their faces, Li Feng felt a sense of generality. At the same time, Li Feng also understood what the two opportunities they said were. Whether it was the acquisition of the Empire State building or the Rockefeller Center, ordinary people may not encounter such an opportunity once in their life.

It's not that the transaction volume of such a thing has nothing to do with the transaction funds. It's mainly that these are high-quality assets. Generally, companies or families hide them and don't choose to trade.

On the Empire State Building, Li Feng has the killer mace of strengthening medicine, while on the Rockefeller Center, he is lucky. Who makes the Rockefeller Center in the hands of investment banks such as Goldman Sachs.

For investment banks such as Goldman Sachs, the acquisition of assets is not for deep hiding, but for value-added sale, which also gives Li Feng an opportunity.

……

"Congratulations, Mr. Li. Happy cooperation!" A few minutes later, Paulson walked into the conference room with a smile, then stretched out his hand to Li Feng and said with a smile.

For Paulson, he is also a partner of Goldman Sachs. Now the Rockefeller Center originally purchased from the Japanese at a low price is sold at a premium, which has won a lot of profits for Goldman Sachs. He talked about it himself and is one of his qualifications and contributions in the future. Naturally, Paulson is happy in his heart.

"Happy together." Li Feng also held his hand and smiled back.

As soon as their voices fell, warm applause broke out in the conference room. At the same time, some staff did enter the conference room with champagne.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is specially prepared by us to celebrate our successful cooperation!" Paulson said to the crowd with a smile.

Naturally, it won a warm response from everyone. After all, the negotiation has been completed. Then everyone began to talk and laugh.

With the fire of more than 10 minutes, the lawyers of both sides drafted and completed the agreement. After Adam signed on behalf of century real estate company and Paulson signed on behalf of Goldman Sachs, it also represents one of the symbols of Manhattan. After the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center was also pocketed by Li Feng.

……

"My God, John, you're so stupid."

It was the second day after signing with Goldman Sachs. In a temporary office on a floor of the Empire State Building, Kenny looked at the documents in front of him and shouted.

Yes, with the signature coming into effect, Li Feng's direct one-time payment for the acquisition made Goldman Sachs feel very much, saying that Li Feng is the most straightforward partner.

According to 30% of the Rockefeller family's contribution, the Rockefeller family contributed US $480 million, while century real estate contributed US $1.12 billion, but this money was advanced by Bank of America, which has already reached an agreement.

Naturally, with the completion of the transaction, Li Feng also got a personal call from the president of Citibank.

After all, Li Feng has always been one of the most important partners of Citigroup. He has so many loans at Citigroup. How did he go to Bank of America this time? Let Li Feng explain for a while.

In fact, when some assets in Li Feng's hands became clearer and clearer, these banks did not worry that Li Feng could not afford to pay back. Therefore, for Li Feng's loans, other banks chose to promise.

This time, the two sides discussed the establishment of New York skyline real estate management company, but Kenny couldn't help crying when he saw Li Feng's plan.

……

Originally, Li Feng's plan was divided into two steps. The first step was to separate the asset management department under the name of the real estate company and establish the century real estate management company. At the same time, the Empire State Building and Rockefeller Center became the New York subsidiary under the name of the management company. This was discussed with David Rockefeller before.

However, Li Feng has another plan he has always wanted to implement, that is to comprehensively repair the Empire State Building and Rockefeller Center, and carry out modern infrastructure reconstruction, so that working in it will not only become a symbol of status, but also enjoy the best office environment.

To be honest, both the Empire State Building and the Rockefeller Center started in the 1920s and 1930s, which is indeed a little old. Therefore, in terms of office environment, these well-known buildings were really far from those newly-built buildings.

Therefore, after the original acquisition of the Empire State Building, Li Feng planned to repair it in an all-round way. Unfortunately, it was temporarily shelved because of his strength at that time.

This time, Li Feng originally planned to independently acquire the Rockefeller Center, so he made a lot of loans. However, due to the intervention of the Rockefeller family, he saved a lot of money. Therefore, Li Feng is ready to use it directly to repair and improve the office environment of the building.

In the original discussion, the Empire State building was priced at US $600 million and incorporated into the real estate company. At that time, Li Feng's real estate company will occupy almost 78% of the shares.

Unfortunately, Li Feng said after the establishment of the real estate company that he wanted to inject capital and directly repair the building. There was a lot of money for the repair.

Li Feng made up $500 million. According to the share proportion, the Rockefeller family will inject hundreds of millions of dollars. No wonder Kenny will scream, otherwise the shares controlled by the Rockefeller family will be diluted.

……

Naturally, next, Li Feng explained his plan to Kenny in detail, including fully showing the original shape of the building according to the original drawing of the building and completing the reconstruction of the modern office environment.

It is precisely because of this idea that there is a huge demand for repair funds. Even in Li Feng's consideration, US $500 million or US $600 million may not be enough.

After listening to Li Feng's explanation, Kenny stopped talking. Although he knew that Li Feng's plan was indeed the best. When the repair was completed, the Empire State building or the center of Rockefeller Center, 14 buildings would bring huge profits to the real estate company every year.

After all, if the Empire State Building and Rockefeller Center can be completed according to Li Feng's vision, then both the Empire State Building and Rockefeller Center will become the most ideal office space for many large companies, rather than entering an awkward situation as they are now.

Today, both the tenants of the Empire State Building and Rockefeller Center are probably very contradictory. Although the building has a very loud reputation and working here is a symbol of identity, the office environment is indeed a little poor, which makes these tenants complain.

……

"Well, John, I know you're right, but I can't decide this. I'll go back and discuss it with my family."

"Kenny, let me tell you, I must start the repair. Instead of going to repair later, I hope it is now. After all, if I go to repair again in the future, maybe the funds will be far more than enough." Thinking of the future price situation, Li Feng said again.

After hearing Li Feng's words, Kenny immediately understood that Li Feng must implement it. He wanted the family to take out such a large amount of cash again. He didn't know whether the old guys at home would agree. It was a headache to think of it.
