Chapter 155: Negotiation
The phone called, it was Xu Jianguo, who was in charge of receiving him last time, Xiao Yang never knew his specific identity in the Prime Minister's Office, so he simply called him Brother Xu.
Xu Jianguo was a little stunned by this title, but when he thought of the information he had seen about Xiao Yang, he didn't think it was too strange, and quickly accepted the title.
"It's Xiao Yang, what? Do you have something? ”
Xiao Yang smiled embarrassedly, "There is something I want to report to the prime minister, I don't know if the prime minister has time to answer my call." ”
Xu Jianguo smiled dumbly, thinking that only Xiao Yang would make such an "unreasonable" request among the people he knew, and asked the prime minister to answer the phone, but he could figure it out. In this country, even if it is the number one, if there is something to tell the prime minister, basically someone will send someone to invite it, instead of saying it on the phone.
Xiao Yang: This is the first one.
However, thinking of his personality and some of the words that the prime minister had said, Xu Jianguo did not get angry, but replied with a smile: "Then you wait a minute, I will ask the prime minister." ”
Xiao Yang also knew that this move was really rude, but now the time is too urgent, and there is really no way, so he hurriedly thanked: "Thank you Brother Xu, I really can't help it, otherwise I wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous." ”
Hearing him say this, Xu Jianguo's heart was a little "refreshed", "It's okay, you are in a special situation, the prime minister won't mind, you wait, I'll go and ask for instructions." ”
Xiao Yang waited for a while, and the voice of the old man came from inside, "Comrade Xiao Yang, what do you have to find the old man?" ”
"Hello Prime Minister." Xiao Yang hurriedly greeted, but he didn't dare to delay the old man's time longer, and directly said that he was going to change his nationality, "...... Rest assured, there are some things that will not change as they were handled in the future, and to be bold, some things may be easier to deal with once I have American citizenship. ”
Even if Xiao Yang becomes an American citizen, should his identity be defined by foreign Chinese or overseas Chinese? This is still a topic that is difficult to identify, and China has been established for so many years, and it is not uncommon for overseas Chinese and foreign Chinese to be internationally friendly. People whose status has reached a certain height naturally do not measure a person's good or bad by something as superficial as nationality.
The old man could immediately think of the reason why Xiao Yang made this call with him, how much did the country give Xiao Yang? Is it necessary for him to take the initiative to explain this?
He doesn't owe anything to the country, it's just for his loved ones, for the sake of that layer of kindness in his heart.
sighed in his heart, and said slowly: "I know the matter, in my opinion, nationality is not important, what matters is your heart, I hope you can remember that you are a yellow-skinned, black-haired descendant of Yan Huang, this point, even if this world is destroyed, it will not change." ”
"Yes, I am a descendant of Yan and Huang, and this will never change."
……
The two talked for a short time, and the old man didn't say too much truth, and he didn't say much, but every sentence was thought-provoking, and after hanging up the phone, Xiao Yang couldn't help but sigh, the personality charm is really not fake.
After calling Hu Zhiyun again and telling him that he had already called the old man, Xiao Yang was relieved.
If this still affects Hu Zhiyun, then the only thing he can do is to take their family out.
In the afternoon of the next day, Matthew Lionsell Colt, the current president of Colt Defense, arrived in Saudi Arabia.
Matthew was about fifty years old, not tall, chubby, and slightly bald, and after meeting John at the hotel, he asked John to help him meet Xiao Yang.
"Aren't you taking a break?" Seeing that the boss's expression was a little haggard, John couldn't help but say.
Although Matthew is not tall, his voice is not small, and ordinary people may not be comfortable listening to him for the first time, but he frowned and waved his hand, "No, I have already rested on the plane, and the most important thing now is to talk to the other party." ”
Seeing his resolute attitude, John didn't persuade anymore, nodded, and hurriedly took out the phone to contact Xiao Yang.
Knowing that Matthew was back, Xiao Yang didn't go out in the afternoon and waited in the hotel all the time, and when he received a call from John, he immediately told him that he could come to their room.
"OK, we'll come right over."
…………
Matthew and John soon arrived at Xiao Yang's room, and both sides had the idea of an urgent negotiation, and after a brief politeness and introduction, they began to get straight to the point.
As Oman judged before, Matthew did not want to give up what the family had inherited for nearly two hundred years, and did not agree to sell it all, but wanted to keep a certain share.
Xiao Yang just wanted to cut through the mess quickly, and after thinking about it for a while, he nodded in agreement: "Your opinion is how many shares to keep?" ”
Matthew was obviously prepared, and as soon as his voice fell, he said, "Not less than twenty percent." ”
"......" Xiao Yang almost laughed angrily.
Colt now owes $500 million in debt and is insolvent, which means that the company is not worth $500 million at all, if Xiao Yang wants to intervene, at least he must pay off the $500 million, so that the company can operate normally, the company is not worth the price, and if he pays $500 million, he can only get about 70% of the shares.
Is it really a fool of money?
Whether it is M1911, or M4 or M16, they have all passed the patent protection period, and it can be said that the most valuable thing for Colt now is those export rights, Xiao Yang is very interested in this, but it does not mean that he must take it.
Appropriate premium, he still has this idea, if the premium is too high......
He's not stupid.
"It can't be." Before he could speak, Aman next to him said very "seriously", "We know very well about the situation of the Colt company, to put it mildly, if we don't take over, then the Colt family will not only lose the business that the family has inherited for a hundred years, but also have to bear a huge amount of debt, so with all due respect, it is already our greatest sincerity to leave some shares to the Colt family, please Mr. Colt do not take our sincerity as it should be." ”
Oman's words were very polite, which made Matthew and John a little embarrassed, but there is nothing embarrassing about the negotiation, and if the negotiation fails, then lower the standard and then talk.
After listening to Oman's words, Matthew knew that the situation of their company had been thoroughly explored, and realized that it was definitely impossible to "take advantage", so he simply asked Aman how many shares they could give him.
This is something that Xiao Yang and Aman have not discussed before, Aman looked at Xiao Yang, and Xiao Yang gave him a look directly, meaning to let him call the shots.
After receiving Xiao Yang's signal, Aman lowered his head and thought about it, and after a while, he said to Matthew: "Five percent, the premise is that all the employees' shares must be recovered." ”
