Chapter 54: Unexpected Objection
"I'm back," as soon as I opened the door, Huang Jingping immediately stood up from the sofa and took the coat from his hand.
"Why haven't you been asleep yet?" Feng Yiping looked at his watch and it was already past 12 o'clock.
"There is just enough work to be processed," said Huang Jingping.
"Is it going well?" she asked.
"Very smooth," Feng Yiping sat down on the sofa with her in her arms, just like the couple who had just said goodbye, and couldn't hide his excitement.
After all, being able to play a role in such a thing can not only bring great benefits to oneself in the future, but as a Chinese, being able to participate in such a process also has a taboo sense of accomplishment.
"Chicago, it can be said to be our blessed land."
He didn't expect that, but according to Jin Ling and his team's advice, the investment in Navteq, who had been losing money for many years and had not improved for a long time, could actually meet Comrade O'Hai.
To be honest, if he hadn't met at the signing ceremony that time, he wouldn't have known that the next Mr. President would have such a big relationship with Chicago.
He always thought that before entering the White House, O'Hai was working hard in Hawaii, where he was born. After all, he was seen going back to Hawaii for vacation many times in the news, just like Bush now, who often went back to his farm in Texas for vacation.
Even if he uses politicians to face forward and not backward, he believes that in the future, he will definitely have a different position from other people in the minds of O'Hare.
After all, when he first met him and expressed his appreciation and support for him, he was just a state senator in Illinois who failed to run for Congress, not even an associate professor at the University of Chicago.
He can be said to be an inconspicuous little person.
He was then encouraged to run for the Senate of Congress, and provided him with help from talent, campaign publicity, and funding, including helping him expand his connections, introducing him to Jobs, as well as Google's Page and Brin, top figures in Silicon Valley.
Now he is spared no effort to support him in running for president.
If he met him during his tenure as a senator and did these things, O'Hare will inevitably remain vigilant and think that he is making political investments. After all, each of the 100 senators in Congress can be said to be an important figure in the American political circle.
So at least, in the mind of this future president, he will definitely be a trustworthy friend, a friend who is very accurate in the economic trend and has excellent business capabilities.
Such a sense of accomplishment can be said to be quite accomplished.
Huang Jingping looked at him with a smile, "Where isn't your blessed land?"
Indeed, for Feng Yiping now, no matter where he goes, he will be treated well.
"Yes, it's mainly because you are my greatest blessing," Feng Yiping pinched her face a few times.
"Fuyuan, can we go and rest now?"
"It sounds like I just came back from the army," Huang Jingping laughed a few times, "Then let's go to bed,"
Young man? It seems that this is meaningful!
This is destined to be a romantic winter night.
…………
When he saw Feng Yiping being welcomed into his office by Collins, several management board members couldn't help but murmur, today's board of directors was really very full of people.
Even the famous Mr. Feng participated in it himself.
If I remember correctly, this should be the first time he has attended the board of directors himself.
As expected, money is the most attractive.
"Or just drink water?" Collins asked.
“Yes, thank you,”
"Go and boil the mineral water," Collins told his secretary.
He did receive Feng Yiping carefully.
"Good news," he immediately said as soon as the secretary went out, "I explained your intentions and several directors on the board, and they all expressed their understanding, so your proposal will be passed smoothly at today's meeting,"
These tasks must also be done in advance to be safe. Otherwise, it would not be because the proposer was Feng Yiping, who could get the support of most people on the board of directors.
"Thank you Collins,"
Feng Yiping knew that things must be as easy as he said now, and so natural.
It is estimated that Collins will inevitably make various promises and exchanges.
However, his trust and unconditional support in him have always been worthy of his return.
My original investment in Navteq not only provided urgent financial support for the development of Navteq, but also provided great support to Collins personally.
When a company led by a person has been in adversity for several years, the investment of a well-known business star can be said to be of great significance.
It not only boosts the company's confidence, but naturally also helps consolidate the position of the person in charge.
After Feng Yiping joined the board of directors, his unconditional support for Collins was rare and precious on all agendas, whether it was the original Mike or later Buchanan and Cummins.
"It should be that your support for this acquisition is more important," Collins said.
…………
Feng Yiping followed Collins and was warmly welcomed by all the directors when he walked into the conference room the last time.
The board of directors of navteq, including three independent directors, has a total of 11 members, ranging from 27 years old Feng Yiping to a man with a silver hair, looking like he is really a 72-year-old man.
The old man stopped applause and shook hands with Feng Yiping, "I'm glad to see you, Mr. Feng,"
"So, Mr. Myers,"
Mr. Miles, one of the independent directors, has an unexpected political background.
For political elites like him who have bid farewell to the political arena, being an independent director of a well-known company is also a common pattern.
A middle-aged man with glasses is another independent director from Northwestern University and a well-known professor at this well-known American university.
"Feng, I'm very happy to see you,"
"Hello Professor George,"
"I have a small request," George took out two books from his briefcase, "Can I sign an autograph for me?"
Those two books are naturally two monographs published by Feng Yiping so far, Blue Ocean Strategy and Big Data.
"George, such a coincidence?" Another independent director, Ms. Mary from Boeing, was a middle-aged white woman with short hair, well-dressed and very hard-maintained.
She also took out two books from her lv's bag, "I want Feng to do the same thing, too."
"Mr. Feng, I'm very happy to know you. Your two monographs have provided me with great help and inspiration until now."
"Thank you, this is my honor,"
On the other end of the conference room, a middle-aged man with thick hair and very well-managed figure, wearing a custom suit and applauding, smiling and whispering to the people around him, "It seems like it's a signing party,"
"No, Roy, this is a fan meeting," said the slightly bald, but taller middle-aged man with glasses next to him.
"Henry, do you know," said Navteq's shareholders, representatives from Wall Street, specifically, Morgan's executive, Noy, to Henry from a well-known American fund. "If they knew, a fund under Mr. Feng bought up to $800 million in CDs from us, of which 500 million are B-class mortgage securities, now every month," he said.
He paused, "I'll do it. Judging from the recent rise in real estate securities, he will give us millions of dollars in premiums every month in vain."
Neuy couldn't hide his complacency.
After all, Feng Yiping seems to be a major mistake in investment, and most people rarely have the chance to know about it.
Not only did Noi know that Feng Yiping also made such mistakes in the process of making transactions with his company.
This made him even more proud.
So what if you have a good vision, you are not familiar with your mistakes or mistakes?
"Haha, you said, if these two fans of his friends knew about this situation, how would you think?"
"Normal," Henry said, "After all, even Buffett has failed investments,"
"Here," he touched Neui and smiled and greeted Feng Yiping who was walking over, "Hello Mr. Feng,"
Noi also smiled and bowed to shake hands with Feng Yiping, "Mr. Feng, it's an honor to see you again,"
"Oh, hello, wait," Feng Yiping thought for a moment, "Nei, right?"
"It's me, Mr. Feng. Do you have any acquisition projects recently? I'm looking forward to having the opportunity to work for you again,"
In Feng Yiping's previous acquisitions, Morgan, where Neuy is located, also became a consultant to Feng Yiping's company.
Neuy also went to Silicon Valley to work for Feng Yiping.
"I think there should be a chance," said Feng Yiping.
After this different board of directors came to an end, Collins officially chaired the board of directors, "Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seat,"
“It is an honor for Mr. Feng to be personally involved in this board of directors,”
There was another burst of applause in the conference room.
"The main purpose of this board of directors is very clear to all directors that it is an extraordinary board of directors, both for the company and the majority of shareholders."
"This board of directors will profoundly affect the company's future development and will also directly affect the fundamental interests of the majority of shareholders..."
"...Low, we discuss the first issue of this meeting, the proposal of Director Yiping Feng, Jiasheng China, to acquire our joint venture with Jiasheng in China,"
Feng Yiping looked at the meeting materials in front of him and said nothing.
Collins is preparing to say it again, and Professor George has begun to speak, "In view of the topics we are going to discuss next, I fully understand the proposals of our Chinese partners," he said.
This is what agrees.
The Jiasheng Map, a joint venture between navteq and Jiasheng, has now been on track in China. Under such circumstances, it is normal for humans to complete the acquisition in advance to avoid the impact of navteq's acquisition negotiations on it.
But before the others could agree, Morgan's Noy smiled and said, "I object to this proposal on behalf of Morgan,"
Suddenly he was shocked.
Chapter completed!
