Chapter 665 Making Money and Spending It All in China, 1. I Want to Take Them Home!
“Of course, I’ll arrange it,” the woman on the phone replied.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they hung up the phone.
The room was plunged into darkness again.
A meeting room at the Barclays Center.
Julia Koch put away her phone and looked at her daughter.
"Tell Wang that Su Shimin wants to see him."
Mary smiled and nodded, then couldn't wait to call Wang Xiucheng.
Julia Koch arranged for the meeting to take place at her home.
Su Shimin was, after all, a friend of Julia Koch for many years, and had always had a good relationship with her husband, so she hoped that Wang Xiucheng and Su Shimin could resolve this matter perfectly.
The next day, ten o'clock in the morning.
Wang Xiucheng arrived at Mary's villa in a daze.
Mary stood outside waiting for Wang Xiucheng, just as always.
Wang Xiucheng got out of the car while yawning.
Mary grabbed Wang Xiucheng's arm, looked at his dark circles, and asked with concern, "Didn't you sleep well?"
"It thundered all night, making it impossible to sleep," Wang Xiucheng said helplessly, shaking his head.
Mary chuckled. She hadn't expected that Wang Xiucheng, who was such a grown man, would still be afraid of thunder.
However, there was indeed thunder for a long time last night, and she didn't fall asleep until the early hours of the morning.
Of course, the real reason Wang Xiucheng couldn't sleep was that he had stayed at the villa at No. 1 York Street last night.
With all four little burdens around, he had a late-night snack with them, and it was already past midnight.
Then it was Jenny and Jisoo again, and Wang Xiucheng was busy all night!
"Has the person arrived?" Wang Xiucheng asked.
"He's already here, and my mother is having tea with him."
The two walked into the villa.
Su Shimin and Julia were standing in front of a window.
The moment Su Shimin saw Julia's daughter straddling Wang Xiucheng's arm, all his doubts were resolved.
No wonder Julia Koch helped Wang Xiucheng; now I understand why.
There was a knock on the door, and then Mary pushed the door open and came in.
Julia put down her coffee and came over to hug Wang Xiucheng.
“Wang, this is Mr. Steve. He has a Chinese name, Su Shimin.”
"Stephen, this is Wang Xiucheng."
Wang Xiucheng extended his hand and shook hands with the old man in front of him.
"Hello, Mr. Stephen."
"Call me Su Shimin, child."
Since Wang Xiucheng and Mary have this kind of relationship, Stephen considers Wang Xiucheng to be his junior.
The two sat down, and Mary personally poured Wang Xiucheng a cup of the same black tea as Su Shimin.
Su Shimin doesn't drink coffee much anymore because of his age.
Wang Xiucheng simply didn't like the taste.
Mary placed the teacup in front of Wang Xiucheng, poured herself a cup of coffee, and then sat down next to her mother.
The two did not leave the room.
This matter is said to be between Wang Xiucheng and Su Shimin, but it is also Mary's affair.
Ma Wei has been running around during this time, and he reports to Mary, not Wang Xiucheng.
After all, Wang Xiucheng is in a competition, so it's best not to bother him with this.
Of course, there was no need for Steve to know about this.
Therefore, Steve believed that Wang Xiucheng was the one manipulating things behind the scenes.
Wang Xiucheng didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "Mr. Su Shimin, I want shares in Wanda. Of course, I'm buying them, not taking them for free."
"Vanda is PAG, and also Blackstone's most important business in China. Can we change the terms?"
Wang Xiucheng smiled and shook his head, "You've already made a lot of money from Wanta. You know Wanta's current situation; it'll be hard to make money from them in the short term. Quitting now is a good thing for you."
“My child, I have always had a deep affection for China.” Su Shimin began to try to persuade Wang Xiucheng to change his mind by appealing to his emotions.
“I know that if it weren’t for this, I would have done what I did to the Arnault family of LV and directly bought Blackstone’s shares on the market with money.”
Blackstone Group's main business is finance, including private equity funds and hedge funds.
Furthermore, Blackstone is a publicly traded company, just like LVMH.
This gave Wang Xiucheng room to maneuver.
There are quite a few investors eyeing Wang Xiucheng now, and many industry peers also hope to see Blackstone run into trouble.
Once Wang Xiucheng begins acquiring Blackstone shares in the capital market, a lot of capital will immediately follow suit.
Blackstone will be very busy then.
Fortunately, Su Shimin had donated money to Qinghua before, which prevented Wang Xiucheng from going to such extremes.
"Can't we talk anymore?" Su Shimin asked.
He wouldn't even see anyone else.
But the person sitting in front of him now is Wang Xiucheng.
He had always been very knowledgeable about China, so he knew about Wang Xiucheng's power and influence in China.
If Wang Xiucheng is truly determined, then Blackstone and the Pacific Alliance will soon have their reputations ruined in China.
In the United States, Wang Xiucheng's abilities are beyond question.
Julia Koch, sitting behind Wang Xiucheng at this moment, is proof of this.
"Alright, I accept your terms, but you know that the current price of Vanta is definitely different from the price we paid when we acquired it."
Wang Xiucheng laughed upon hearing this, "Of course I know, but Mr. Su Shimin, I hope that this extra money can stay in China, rather than return to the United States."
“I will donate it.” Su Shimin immediately understood what Wang Xiucheng meant.
You can earn money, but you can't earn it all.
To put it bluntly, it means that you can make money and spend it all in China, and never think about taking a single penny home!
Julia Koch clapped her hands, stood up, walked to the front, and said with a smile, "You see, there's nothing that can't be negotiated, right?"
Su Shimin forced a smile.
What can I do if I don't smile?
You think you can still cry?!
On the contrary, Wang Xiucheng was smiling very happily.
"I have already had lunch prepared. Would Mr. Su Shimin like to stay for lunch?"
Julia Koch said to Su Shimin.
This made Su Shimin realize that Wang Xiucheng's relationship with the Julia Koch family might be better than he had imagined.
Julia Koch only asked herself the question, not Wang Xiucheng, obviously because there was no need to ask.
This means that Wang Xiucheng has been considered part of the family by Julia Koch.
He was the only outsider in this room.
He certainly wouldn't stay for dinner, so he said, "No, I need to go back and discuss this with the people from the Pacific Alliance. You know this isn't something I can decide alone; the Pacific Alliance has a lot of capital involved."
"Alright, I won't keep you any longer, Stephen. I'll wait for your call."
Julia Koch stood up and personally saw Su Shimin off.
Mary Julia looked up at Wang Xiucheng's beautifully curved jawline. "I've taken care of this for you. How are you going to thank me?"
"How would you like me to thank you?" Wang Xiucheng walked up to Mary and asked, bowing his head.
“I want you to thank me like this…” Mary reached out her groping hand.
"Alright, let's go eat." Julia Koch entered the house after seeing Steve off and saw her daughter touching Wang Xiucheng inappropriately.
This made her a little embarrassed, so she could only call out once and then go to the restaurant by herself.
Mary blushed and pinched Wang Xiucheng, as if her secret had been discovered.
"Why are you pinching me?" Wang Xiucheng muttered in dissatisfaction. "Why don't you pinch your mother instead?"
Upon hearing this, Mary pinched Wang Xiucheng again, then grabbed his arm and led him towards the restaurant.
