Although it is only 600 kilometers away from New York, Montreal, Canada is already a scene of ice and snow.

This city is the second largest city in Canada, with an average annual snowfall of up to 2.14 meters. If there is no concept, then just make a comparison and everyone will be impressed. Its average snowfall is even greater than that of Moscow.

The severe cold weather has led to people building a huge dungeon in the city center, with an area of ​​4 million square meters, and it has all kinds of service facilities. It is also known as the Second Montreal.

At this time, staying in the warm airport and watching the heavy snow outside, Buchanan, who had originally felt a little superior, was a little uncomfortable.

This airport is called Montreal Pierre Elliot Trudeau International Airport. Alpierre Elliot Trudeau, and it is naturally a person's name.

Canada's former economic capital and its second largest city's main airport. If it can be named after it, it is naturally not a simple person.

This person is indeed not simple. Born in Montreal, he ascended the throne of Canadian Prime Minister in April 1968 and stayed until 1984 for a full 16 years!

The presidents next door of the United States must have been drooling as they watched his reign.

Later, he was often called Old Trudeau, this old man, just like Old Bush's old man.

Old Trudeau's son is not a simple person. Later, he turned down the Harper, who Feng Yiping is now trying to build a relationship. The young Trudeau, who has successfully become prime minister, is called the most handsome prime minister in the world.

Of course, this is not what makes Buchanan unaccustomed to.

As can be seen from the name of Old Trudeau, he is a French descent.

So what Buchanan is not used to is that in the airport of the 15th largest city in North America, its language is actually French.

This is another special place in Montreal. It is the center of "New France" during the French colonial period. To this day, more than 60% of the people in this city speak French, so French is the official language of the city.

Therefore, this city with a population of more than 3 million is also a second-language city in the world except Paris.

Language is a representation of culture. Here we are talking about French, and we pursue natural French culture. While romantic, it is mostly a bit scattered. Therefore, Montreal is currently the slowest progress in nextdoor.

After ten o'clock, he finally saw Cummins and Emilia coming out of the passage, "Quick, here,"

I don’t know which link is the problem. In short, the flight is delayed. Whether it is romantic or casual, you must not miss the appointment meeting time.

"I did some research outside. Imperial Commercial Bank Asset Management Company, it is a bit less important to Netflix's stocks held by its hands, that is, it is not optimistic about Netflix, but it still has some expectations for it."

"As long as you don't pay attention," Cummins said, "the rest are easy to say. Our good-looking boss Feng, who wants to buy their stocks, their first reaction is that the stocks in his hands must be a good thing."

In the past two days, they have been visiting several Netflix's institutional shareholders, and their reactions are similar to those of the New Jersey Public Pension Fund Dudley. As long as the price is right, they have a relatively high chance of taking action. However, because of Feng Yiping's vision, their quotations are generally higher.

"Feng probably never thought that his good reputation would become a resistance to our work," said Emilia.

“I think your statement is great,” Buchanan said, “and it will relieve a lot of their doubts.”

"By the way, Cummins, after today, I will also go back to Silicon Valley. There may be some things that need your help,"

"I have heard that, yes, our boss is certainly indispensable for such things,"

Although the specific itinerary is kept confidential, the Prime Minister has reported on the news and they already know it.

"Under Feng's current conditions, do you still need such resources?" Emilia asked.

"It's necessary, of course," the two said almost in unison, "the more the better,"

Merchants from the East and the West both attach great importance to such things, but the reasons may still be different.

For domestic businessmen, especially private enterprises, being able to participate in such activities means official attention and a certain degree of recognition.

In addition, there is a very important point. Most of them are difficult to receive the reception from national leaders. Follow-up is an opportunity. When abroad, leaders usually receive them by the way, at least they can shake hands, and some may also get a group photo.

At home, a photo with national leaders is a very hard intangible asset.

There is this point, that is, the follow-up failed to achieve any commercial gains, which is also a very worthwhile thing.

When American businessmen attending events like this, they are naturally seeking business opportunities, but in addition, they also have other purposes.

It should be said that under the American system, it is mainly a charitable system (it has been introduced in the previous article and will not be described here). Some wealthy people in the United States have some ideas and actions to change the world. If you attend such events with the US President, you will have the opportunity to instill your ideas into more powerful people.

Objectively speaking, there is a gap between our country's rich people.

For example, the Baby charity dinner initiated by Buffett and Gates does not meet the conditions for global promotion and has some considerations on its own, but it will still have a significant positive impact on the whole world.

But the rich people in our country still have a long way to go to this point.

"What do you need my help?" Cummins asked.

“You should need to contact those relationships on Wall Street,” Buchanan said.

This was explained by Jin Ling, and even if it is not useful, you can make preparations.

This preparation is naturally not for the Prime Minister's visit. It's not the turn of Feng Yiping to worry about it. The key is that he can't worry about it, hehe, either.

This preparation is made for those companies that are following up in China.

Including those state-owned enterprises that came this time, their influence in the United States cannot be as great as Feng Yiping.

Even if the banks that have come to the United States to develop very early in China, their influence in related aspects cannot be as wide as Feng Yiping's nextdoor due to their own business restrictions.

If time is too late, you can arrange for some people on Wall Street to meet with the companies that are following this time in China, get to know each other, and chat for a few minutes.

Don’t underestimate these few minutes. As long as you can leave your contact information, the relationship can be maintained in the future.

Doing this can be considered as a good seller for domestic companies. By the way, it also shows off its strength a little.

For someone like Feng Yiping who is particularly afraid of trouble, you should do more things to reveal your strength in the future.

It makes people feel the gap and extinguish some little thoughts that shouldn't be there, which is better than a conflict in the future.

"No problem," Cummins agreed very readily, but he didn't say anything about why he didn't let Feng Yiping contact him.

Feng Yiping has a good relationship with some big bosses on Wall Street, but he can't let the boss do everything. If he can't make an appointment, Feng Yiping calls again, which is the most appropriate thing.

"Here," Buchanan said, pointing to the office building in front, "I hope we can have a good result this time,"

"The first time I contacted, I didn't explicitly refuse, was a good result," Cummins said.

However, the situation seemed to be more optimistic than they thought. Mr. Luke, whom they were about to meet, actually went downstairs to greet him in person. "Welcome to visit together," Luke warmly greeted them upstairs.

"We have been famous for your company and Mr. Feng for a long time."

"Thank you," Cummins said.

"Although this proposal is a bit abrupt, I still want to ask some of you for your opinions."

As soon as he entered the office, after a few greetings, Luke suddenly said.

It seems that the reason why he is so enthusiastic is probably due to this proposal.

"I believe that Mr. Luke's proposal will definitely be very helpful to us," said Cummins's hiding needle.

"I think so," Luke could naturally hear what he meant, and don't say anything without help.

"After this meeting, our colleagues from the bank hope to have a chance to meet with the three of them,"

A colleague in the bank? It seems that there is nothing wrong with this.

The Canadian Imperial Commercial Bank Asset Management Company is naturally backed by the Canadian Imperial Commercial Bank, a bank that has been established for nearly 140 years so far.

At present, it has developed into one of the largest commercial banks in North America. In the 1990s, it has already become one of the world's top 50 banks and has long involved securities, mergers and acquisitions, restructuring, insurance and other businesses.

Even if it is not available in the future, it is naturally beneficial to establish connections with such a powerful bank.

Cummins is thinking further. So, is it possible to use their bank money to acquire Netflix's stocks?

It seems that it is not impossible to operate. At least they actively extend an olive branch, so they should consider cooperation.

"We're very happy," Cummins said.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was good. If the Netflix stocks they held were interested in selling, they might not necessarily oppose this approach.

When selling stocks, they can make money once. If the funds from buying stocks are loans, they can make money again. If a business can make money twice, they can also make relationships with very promising companies like nextdoor. In fact, they can also make relationships with other companies that have a share in Feng Yiping, such as Google, which is also a good thing to win three goals in one go.

For Cummins and the others, this is also a good thing. With such considerations, they have reason to be more optimistic about the stock purchase. Maybe the other party wants to do such a business more.

On the other hand, before such a large-scale acquisition, the more abundant the funds are, the better.

This is a real surprise.

So, the smiles on both sides' faces became more real, "Mr. Luke, I believe you know what I am here this time, about Netflix...,"

…………

In a Western restaurant in San Francisco, nine reporters who were about to return to China tomorrow gathered at the long table, discussing their experiences and gains over the past few days excitedly. By this time, including the six newspaper reporters, they had no worries.

Although the previous interview did not cause any response, it doesn't matter. The manuscripts they wrote these days are definitely one of the highest quality reports on Silicon Valley among their domestic peers, and later generations are really easy to do better than them.

"Here," Li Zhixiong whispered.

Outside the restaurant, several cars were stopped. Feng Yiping got off the yellow Hummer in the middle and waited for a while at the door. A large number of people gathered around him.

When reporter Yao saw Feng Yiping walking in by a group of people, he couldn't help but say, "It's indeed Feng Yiping, and he's so much trouble when eating,"

Li Zhixiong identified it, "It's all his executives, so this should be a dinner party."

Reporter Yao looked at it and Feng Yiping and the people around him seemed to be still talking about work, and another sentence was said, "It's indeed Feng Yiping, and he still has to talk about work even when he eats."

"I am worthy of being a famous reporter," Li Zhixiong said again.

Li Zhixiong guessed correctly. Because he wanted to see them off, Feng Yiping came to a dinner party and brought the Tesla people over.

Cummins and Buchanan, who had just arrived, reported to him the results of the meeting this morning. Although it was not finalized, they were the ones who had the best talks among the major shareholders of the institutional whom they had contacted in the past few days.

As for the olive branch of the Canadian Imperial Commercial Bank, "This bank is very strong?"

"Very strong, one of Canada's six largest banks, and has been the best dividend yield in Canada this year,"

If the dividend yield is high, it naturally means it is operating well.

"Then I have no objection," but he was thinking about another question at this time. It seems that we can consider allowing these Canadian banks to participate in Google's listing.

Canada is also a well-established rich country. It is definitely a good thing to let Canadian institutions and people participate in Google's subscription. It turns out that Google IPO almost failed. The main reason is that there is insufficient subscription and it has to repeatedly lower the issue price.

Feng Yiping naturally didn't want this situation to happen again, because Google's issuance price is one point higher, so his net worth is one point higher. (To be continued.)
