Chapter 332: I'll take everything you bring

In the private dining room of the Saint-Nax restaurant, there was already a table full of delicious food on the table. There was the king crab caught that day and flown in from the Gold Coast, French goose liver, a special James Bond pizza, and perhaps the only suckling pig in the United States.

It can be said that none of the dishes on this table are anything but expensive delicacies. If they were anyone else, they would definitely have to taste them carefully, and they may not even have the opportunity to truly eat them once in their lifetime. However, here today, they are all placed on the table, and no one is interested in them. It seems that these are not delicacies from the mountains and the sea, but just the most ordinary fried rice on the street, because they are not really here to eat today.

Zhou Ming and Tang Ran sat on either side of Tang Jingsheng, Tang Huiyin and Tang Jingming. From previous situations, Tang Jingming had already come to the conclusion that in fact, Zhou Ming was the real core of the group, even if it was an exaggeration, it was the truth.

So Tang Jingming took the initiative to find Zhou Ming and said, 'Mr. Zhou Ming, although I really hope that we can do a bigger deal, if you really want to keep the shares, I respect your choice. However, I still need to remind you that hoarding goods sometimes may not be able to wait for a high price.'

Zhou Ming laughed and said, 'I have already made a decision, so I hope Mr. Tang Jingming will not waste any more words, so as not to delay our current transaction.'

This seemed like a matter of empty words, but it really confirmed Tang Jingming's thoughts. Of course, in addition, he really hoped to get more shares of Tang Dynasty Bank in this rare deal, but now in the face of Zhou Ming's attitude, he had to give up.

'Okay then,' Tang Jingming shrugged, seemingly a little disappointed, and then handed Zhou Ming several documents, 'These are our offshore accounts, which contain the 80 billion US dollars we have prepared.'

After receiving the documents, Zhou Ming casually glanced at them twice, then turned around and handed them to Tang Jingsheng and Tang Huiyin. Then he looked at Tang Jingming and said, 'It seems that we were right to divide the shares into three parts. You guys can't even close one of the transactions.'

Tang Ran also followed Zhou Ming's lead and said, 'Yes, the market value of Tang Dynasty Bank is now 700 billion US dollars. Even if we calculate based on this market value, the shares we hold in our hands are worth nearly 400 billion US dollars. If we divide these shares into three, each share is worth about 130 billion US dollars. This is a very simple arithmetic problem! Moreover, the real value of our Tangren Bank is definitely more than this.'

'What's more more importantly, these shares are not just their face value. These shares represent control of Tang Bank, which is different from those junk stocks in the stock market that only receive dividends but cannot participate in corporate decision-making!' Tang Jing Sheng continued, 'So if we really do the math, even if we cut the shares in our hands in half, the price of each share would easily be 400 billion US dollars.'

Facing Zhou Mingtang Ran and Tang Jingsheng's chorus, Tang Jingming could no longer hold back and slammed his hand on the table: 'Enough! Don't think I don't know, you are simply raising the price. Brother Jingsheng and Sister Huiyin's shares are their own, but what about your shares, Ran? Originally was always kept in the family for the clan leader, and you are not even qualified to sell it, do you know that?'

After Tang Jingming, the others beside him also chimed in, 'And with the huge scale of Tang Bank, apart from us, do you think anyone else can come up with so much money at once? You not afraid that someone else will cheat? You have to know that for such a big profit, many people will take the risk.'

Listening to the protestations from the other side, Zhou Ming simply smiled and diffused the situation. He asked them calmly, 'What? Do you want to bargain?'

A very simple sentence made them swallow their words. They dared not say anything more, after all, the other party held the shares of the company shares. If they were unhappy, they could simply sell all those shares to Tang An, and then they would be left with nothing.

Moreover Tang Jingming and the others are not fools. They know full well that the actual value of those shares in the Tang Bank is definitely more than what they are offering. The reason they protested was simply to intimidate the other party. What if they scared the other party off? After all as they themselves said, in the face of such huge interests, it is normal to take risks and even behave in a funny way.

However, it was now obvious that they were not bluffing, so Tang Jingming had to say, 'Mr. Zhou Ming has misunderstood. How could I bargain for such an important stake in Tang Bank? That is an insult to the Tang family itself!'

Zhou Ming just laughed and didn't say anything, so Tang Jingming continued, 'But I think you should understand, Mr. Zhou Ming, that we are all people with our own businesses and investments. Most of our capital is invested abroad, and at the same time we also need to ensure that we have a certain amount of liquidity, otherwise if there is a problem with our business, our situation will be are mostly invested abroad, and at the same time we also need to ensure that we have a certain amount of liquidity, otherwise if there is a problem with our business, we will be in a difficult situation...'

'But what does that have to do with me?' Zhou Ming said before Tang Jingming could finish.

Tang Jing was stunned. Later, Tang Ran also said, 'Yes, what does your hardship have to do with us? A deal is a deal. If you can't pay, don't make the deal! What a waste of time.'

Zhou Ming and Tang Ran's words were like a slap in the face, making them feel a little embarrassed.

In the end, Tang Jingming gritted his teeth and said, 'Okay, if that's what you say, we'll just have to go ahead with the business mortgage as we had previously agreed.'

Tang Jing said as he pulled a suitcase out of thin air and said, 'This contains the information on the companies we can use as collateral. These companies are wholly owned by us, and we can choose to use all the shares or just a portion of them, converting them into a specific amount of money instead of paying in cash.'

Seeing this suitcase, Tang Ran exclaimed in surprise, 'So you were prepared for this? Then why did you just now cry poverty in front of us?'

This remark made Tang Jingming and the others even more embarrassed, and they all stammered, not knowing what to say.

Zhou Ming looked at them helplessly, shook his head and said, 'Of course we want to take a 100% stake. That's the only way we can have control. Otherwise, what's the point of just taking a 50% stake? I don't believe that the companies you've given me will necessarily bring me benefits!'

Tang Jing Tang Jingming gave Zhou Ming a thumbs-up: 'Mr. Zhou Ming is very thoughtful. But don't worry, we all deal with integrity, so we will never do anything shady in those mortgage companies!'

Despite Tang Jingming gave a solemn assurance, but Zhou Ming still didn't comment on it. Tang Jingming just said that and then turned to the topic at hand and said, 'Mr Zhou Ming, let me introduce you to Hansen Corporation. It is a large manufacturing plant with integrated circuits as its core business, mainly providing integrated circuits and chips for Internet companies. The current market valuation is 30 billion US dollars.'

Tang Jing said, pulled out a file on Hansen and handed it to Zhou Ming, then continued, 'Mr. Zhou Ming, I think you should know that the future of information technology is the core of the exhibition, so any chip component manufacturer is very valuable for investment...'

Before before Tang Jingming could finish, Zhou Ming interrupted him and said, 'I'll read the data myself, you go on to introduce the others.'

Tang Jing was stunned for a moment, and then took out another piece of information and said, 'This is a relatively old investment bank, one of the top investment banks in San Francisco. Its investment fields include funds, stocks, futures, and even venture capital, etc. Its annual investment returns exceed one billion US dollars, which is very impressive. Currently, the market valuation of this investment bank is 10 billion US dollars.'

'In addition in addition to chip companies and investment banks, I also have other enterprises here, all with a market valuation of over 10 billion.'

At the end of the day, Tang Jingming was fortunate enough to directly put his suitcase on the table and handed it to Zhou Ming. They watched as Zhou Ming took it over and took out the information one after the other, and then handed it to Tang Jingsheng and Tang Huiyin to look through.

After a after a while, Zhou Ming said to Tang Jingming, 'Not bad, I've looked at these companies, and at least in terms of market valuation, they are still relatively convincing.'

'Then Of course. As I said, we are all very trustworthy. We have asked the most professional valuation team in San Francisco to complete the stock prices of these companies,' said Tang Jingming. 'So, Mr. Zhou Ming, have you already chosen which company you want? Or you don't have an answer yet and want to eat first before making a decision?'

'Why do we need to eat first before making a decision? These are all excellent companies, so I don't think the decision will be difficult,' said Ming Zhou.

Tang Jingming froze for a moment, as if he had a bad feeling about this: 'So what is your decision?'

'You I want all the companies you just mentioned!' Zhou Ming replied.

This answer was like a bolt from the blue, and it stunned Tang Jingming. Not only him, but also the others around him were stunned. They simply couldn't believe that Zhou Ming was so overbearing as to say outright that he wanted them all.

Tang Jing Ming said in a daze, 'Mr. Zhou Ming, you're joking, aren't you? You've already seen the information, so you should know that the combined market valuation of these companies is already over 100 billion. Are you saying that Mr. Zhou Ming cares more about the companies and wants less capital?'

'No No, what I mean is that I want the 80 billion dollars you have prepared, and I also want these companies,' said Ming Zhou.

Tang Jingming's face grew serious: 'Mr. Ming Zhou, I hope you will stop joking around!'

'Then I can also answer you very clearly: I am not joking.' Zhou Ming replied word by word, and then, without waiting for Tang Jingming to speak, he said, 'But Mr. Tang Jingming, in fact, I'm afraid only you and your family know whether your companies are really worth 100 billion. Furthermore you have already brought it, do you really have no intention of trading it at all?'

Hearing Zhou Ming say this, Tang Jingming became embarrassed again: 'Mr. Zhou Ming, what are you talking about? How come I don't quite understand?'

Zhou Ming said with a sneer, 'Mr. Tang Jingming, I don't think you know that I generally only want to deal with smart people. If you continue to pretend to be stupid, I don't think we can continue our business. I personally feel that even if it is really 180 billion US dollars, someone will definitely be willing to take it over. What do you think, Mr. Tang Jingming?'

After saying this, Zhou Ming stood up, and Tang Ran, Tang Jingsheng and Tang Huiyin followed suit and walked together towards the door.

At this time Tang Jingming panicked. He hurriedly stood up and grabbed Zhou Ming, saying, 'Mr. Zhou Ming, don't go so quickly. I was just joking. I have brought all the companies I promised today, plus 80 billion US dollars. Deal!'

Zhou Ming extended his hand to him in satisfaction: 'Then I wish us every success in this transaction.'

Tang Jingming looked at Zhou Ming's smile as if he were basking in the spring breeze, and suddenly he had the illusion that he had been taken advantage of.
