Text Chapter 1132: Compromise and Acquisition
There is quite a lot of trouble with other things at Arsenal, and the secrets behind the shareholders are so secret that no news has been released. Zhou Jiexi is also working hard to snap up Kroenke's shares. Now Arsenal's market value fluctuates around 700 million pounds.
And the boss is also responsible for Arsenal's debts, but these are minor problems, and Zhou Jiexi can afford them. In the future, it is estimated that spending money with Wu Pang, half of each person, it will definitely be much easier.
The two met again, smiling politely at each other. The entourage behind him, who doesn't know that there is a quarrel between the two bosses, even if they have quarreled on the phone, they are still so polite and harmonious in public places now.
"You look very good, this suit is very beautiful." Zhou Jiexi himself was wearing a high-end custom-made suit, and said to the new Kroenke opposite that style that did not look like him.
"Thank you, I've always liked this suit." Kroenke doesn't care about brats showing off and attacking indifferently. One piece is expensive.
is it necessary?
Really, the old guy went on to talk about the history of his clothes, maybe he was the teacher of Zhou Jiexi's suit tailor.
"Newcomers always have an innovative spirit, sticking to the rules is not a good choice." Zhou Jiexi remarked, but he did not forget what he was here for.
"Let's talk about business!" Zhou Jiexi said.
"Who knows!" Kroenke said. After finishing speaking, she looked at Zhou Jiexi and continued: "No hurry, let's have a steak first! I heard that the beef from your farm is sold very well in your own high-end restaurant. I have always wanted to try it." Karen K said.
"Old guy." Zhou Jiexi suppressed his patience, waved with a smile, and the waiter came over quickly. "Ask the chef to cook two steaks himself."
Zhou Jiexi didn't say much else, I believe the chef will make a good choice. "It is not easy to raise good grass to raise good cattle."
"By the way, do you eat truffles? The chef of my restaurant has been fascinated by the truffles produced in my estate recently. If he was asked to play with himself, he would definitely choose truffles." Zhou Jiexi apologized and looked at Kroenke, "Sorry , I didn’t think about it.”
"Don't worry about Jesse, I like truffles too." Does Kroenke care about this small detail? He doesn't know, anyway, for the two pretending to achieve their goals and satisfy some of their inner needs, this is enough.
"I read the report some time ago, but I prefer Italian truffles. They feel full of history. And they can produce continuously and stably. This is like a nobleman with a deep heritage. It makes people feel that spending money to enjoy is right from the bottom of their hearts. Worth it," Kroenke said.
What Zhou Jiexi said was ironic. Of course, it was ironic in fact, saying that he has no history of truffles and may face unstable production conditions.
There is also the feeling of nouveau riche, not aristocratic at all, nor high-end ingredients, not worth the price. It is estimated that those upstarts will like it!
Zhou Jiexi wanted to gain the upper hand in his heart, he always liked to use small tricks, it didn't accomplish anything but it was disgusting. While Kroenke remained steady, he had the opportunity to ridicule his childishness.
Now this makes Zhou Jiexi a little unhappy, the old guy has a good tongue, and there are still some experiences that he needs to learn!
"That's good. I've tried Italian truffles. Although the taste is a little bit worse, it really feels nostalgic!" Zhou Jiexi seemed to think of something: "By the way, people nowadays like novelties. How about the supermarket? Do you plan to put some of my truffles in the luxury ingredients section?"
"This is a very good proposal." Kroenke said smugly. No matter how much he said just now, it is undeniable that the truffle produced in the United States is very good. With the foundation, I believe the American people I am also more willing to believe in the inspection report of my own national quality inspection agency, and then purchase truffles produced in California Truffle Farm.
"I send a negotiating team to negotiate with your truffle marketing team?" Kroenke asked.
"Of course, our cooperation is also a good choice!" Zhou Jiexi agreed, which is also an advantage. He is the son-in-law of Wal-Mart, and his wife is the real shareholder with voting rights. He himself owns a supermarket chain.
As for the high-grade truffles in the Truffle Manor, it is definitely impossible to put them in the store for sale. But he also owns a lot of middle-end truffles, and it is acceptable for this part of middle-end products to be placed in supermarkets. After all, the United States also has a lot of such consumption, I believe this will be a good choice for cooperation.
After Zhou Jiexi became rational, the idea of making money still overwhelmed others.
"By the way, I heard that you are still increasing your farm area. How is the income from this business?" Zhou Jiexi asked curiously.
"As a value-preserving investment, it satisfies me," Kroenke said. "But I have to say that you are a lucky guy. You can achieve 100% profit in conservative investment projects!"
"That's nothing, as long as you have some brains, I think most people can think of some way out!" Zhou Jiexi said and pointed his own brain. After speaking, he also felt a little inappropriate, after all, he came here to discuss business, not to be angry with others, and he was also a business partner.
"Hehe... Maybe this is only for a high-achieving student from the School of Biology like you!" Kroenke was not so provocative with just a few words. "We are only suitable for some investment work."
"I read a magazine some time ago, and it reported that the land area you seem to have increased has entered the top fifteen. Recently, there is a piece of land in Hot Spring Mountain, Oregon. I heard that you have also quoted. Why do you plan to develop a tourist farm? Resort?"
"Just like you, I'm just making some value-preserving investments. But the hot spring mountain in Oregon is indeed a place worth investing in. Now a good hot spring can generate a lot of profits around it. The resort is also a good choice!" Zhou Jie West said.
"You also bid for that piece of land?" Zhou Jiexi asked.
"I have seen the current bidders, but you can rest assured that this is not the investment project I want. Reconstruction and reconstruction, as well as the conditions required by the local government to develop the tourism economy, are not what I want. Under these conditions, it is necessary to Continuous investment, if there is no good business, it will definitely become a failed investment, which is not a good choice for businessmen who invest in land economy for value preservation.”
What Kroenke said seemed to make sense. In fact, he really wanted to see if this young man would be aggressive. He immediately said that I think this can definitely be developed, just because you are old and have no courage. .
It's just a pity that this can only be imagined by himself.
"You're right!" Zhou Jiexi said.
