Chapter 621 620. The First Step (910)

Purchasing equity requires a lawyer for legal assistance. Li Du does not have a private lawyer. Rogge suggested to him on the phone that he could temporarily hire a financial lawyer.

He is not familiar with Las Vegas, and the profession of lawyers is mixed, so this makes him hesitate.

In fact, there are many outstanding lawyers among Chinese Americans. If Ma Zhian did not try to fool him and was thrown into prison, then he can ask Ma Zhian for advice.

Having been in Arizona for so many years, Ma Zhian has a strong wrist and rich network resources, so it is the most suitable to ask him to help introduce people.

Li Du thought for a while, and the one who could help him most in this matter should be Playboy. Although he didn't know the specific background of Playboy, he knew that this young master had all-hands and eyes.

On the way, he called Playboy and said he wanted to hire a reliable financial lawyer to sign a contract.

Sure enough, Playboy can help him. After listening to the request, he said happily: "I will introduce my lawyer to you. He has a lot of research in economic law."

Li Du took Sophie to the Hai Rui Group building and asked her to go for a stroll first, while he went to see Roger to discuss the purchase of Tatik's equity.

He wanted to keep this matter a secret, and he didn't want to tell Sophie, Hans and the others. It wasn't because he had any selfish intentions, but mainly because he didn't think it was necessary for him to tell Hans about it. As for Sophie? He's brewing a surprise.

When he arrived at Rogge's office, Li Du saw Tatiq.

Seeing him as if seeing the Red Army, the old gentleman extended his hand to him enthusiastically and said, "Mr. Li, it's a pleasure to see you again."

The relationship between the two parties is destined to be purely a business relationship, so they are not very polite and directly cut into the topic.

The price has been negotiated, 11.2 million, and Tatiq will sell all his shares to Li Du. There is an equity transfer agreement within Hai Rui Group, and he only needs to sign it under the witness of a lawyer.

After signing, Rogge will help him contact the headquarters of Hai Rui Group to carry out some shareholding changes. All he needs to do is to sign, and he doesn't even need to go to the New York headquarters.

Playboy's lawyer hadn't arrived yet, so Li Du watched the shareholding change agreement by himself first.

Harry Winston is the world's top jewelry company, and the shareholding change agreement is very complete, just like a book, thick enough to have dozens of pages.

Li Du couldn't understand this thing at all, it was like a heavenly book, with many professional terms in it, these things were too difficult for him.

Fortunately, the Playboy's lawyer arrived behind him, a tall, thin white man in his forties who looked energetic, with brown eyes that always shone sharply.

"Hi, I'm Paul Neuberger, nice to meet you." The white lawyer extended his hand to Li Du from a distance away.

Playboy has made the situation very clear, and Ball can work directly when he comes. In addition, he may have praised Li Du, and Ball is very caring about Li Du.

After entering the office, he went straight to the topic and began to review the equity transfer agreement.

The lawyer's responsibility is to ensure that the agreement has no loopholes and no risks, and he doesn't care about the price.

In Li Du's eyes, a thick transfer agreement seemed like a bible, but in Bauer's view, it was very simple. He spent half an hour browsing through it, and then took Li Du to start reading.

During this period, he kept explaining to Li Du, what was going on, what the other party asked him to do, and what he hoped he could do. He explained clearly.

After spending another hour, Li Du finally figured out the specific content of the equity transfer agreement.

Sophie wandered around for an hour and a half, but Harry Winston Jewelry Store has a lot of beautiful jewelry, each piece of jewelry has a unique design concept and even culture in it, Sophie doesn't think so when she looks at these jewelry. boring.

There was no problem with the transfer agreement. Li Du, Tatiq, Bauer, Tatiq's lawyer, and Rogge all signed on it, and the agreement became effective.

Afterwards, a manager of Wells Fargo Bank also signed on it, and Li Du transferred 12 million to the bank's account. account.

The transaction was successfully completed and all parties were satisfied.

Tatiq held Li Du's hand and said, "Thank you, young man, thank you for being willing to take over this equity. This money is my pension money, and I should go to retire."

Roger said with a smile: "Mr. Tatiq, maybe you will regret it after a while. The current price is really too low for Hai Rui Group."

Actually, Li Du has learned that in its heyday, Hai Rui Group had a market value of 2.5 billion, and it cost 20 million US dollars to buy 8/1000 of the shares.

Compared with its heyday, Tatik's equity has shrunk by nearly half.

After selling the shares, the old man was in a good mood. He smiled and said, "Maybe, but I don't regret it, because what I need most now is retirement."

"Where do you plan to retire?" Li Du asked curiously.

The old man said: "New Zealand, I bought a house in a small town on the South Island of New Zealand. It is so beautiful and the people are very kind. I think I will spend the rest of my life there."

"I wish you a happy life in your later years." Li Du shook hands with him again.

The intersection of the two sides is tantamount to the end, and then he began to settle with Ball.

Bauer smiled and said, "No, Mr. Li, I won't charge you this time, because I didn't find any loopholes, and you are Akaro's friend, so I will provide you with free help this time."

Li Du was surprised and said, "How is this good?"

Ball said: "Of course, I don't want nothing. I think you are very interested in Hai Rui Group's equity, right? Are you not just buying this?"

Li Du nodded and said, "Yes, I want to buy as much as possible."

Bauer said: "I will provide you with free help regarding the Hai Rui Group's equity acquisition, so that you can experience my service. If you think my service is good, I hope I can become your private lawyer."

It is the consistent practice of American lawyers to put a long line to catch big fish.

At a young age, Li Du was able to spend more than 10 million yuan to buy the equity of a precarious company, which is amazing in terms of courage and financial resources, and he is also a friend of the Playboy.

After listening to Ball's words, Li Du thought for a few seconds and said, "Okay, that's the decision."

Tatiq and his lawyer left, and only Rogge and Bauer were left in the office, so Li Du opened the box without any scruples and said, "I have two paintings that I want to sell, I wonder if Director Rogge can help? "

Looking at the painting in the box and the exaggerated signature of Van Gogh on it, Rogge was shocked and said, "God, is this the real work of Van Gogh?"

Li Du waved his hand generously and said, "You can identify it casually."
