Chapter 8 Persuasion (1)

"What's up with that Lehman?"

The father and son sat opposite each other, and the afterglow spilled into the room, as if the furniture was covered with red veil, and the fragrance of brandy mixed with Janssen's cigar.

Hearing Yang Sen's question, Yang Cheng couldn't help laughing, "I really thought you didn't care, Dad..."

"Bullshit, normal admiration is not a bad thing. It proves that your mother is attractive in disguise. I have vision for your father. Besides, I think that I walked over on the body of my rival, but what if it was for a purpose?" Yang Sen's eyes were on the setting sun. It became deeper and deeper, and said meaningfully.

"Do you suspect that Louis Lehman is asking for something else?" Yang Cheng asked rhetorically, putting down his glass.

But he immediately retorted, "No, I asked him to check him. Past records show that he is a pervert with special hobbies."

Yang Sen chuckled and shook his index finger, "You are still too young to see things on the surface..."

He got up and picked up a document from the desk, and when he came back, he threw it into Yang Cheng's arms, "Look, this is what I asked John to find out on my way back."

With a hint of dissatisfaction, Yang Cheng opened the information and read it.

The information is not long, just over a page and a half, I quickly browsed it through ten lines at a time, and opened my mouth, not knowing what to say.

The text on these two A4 sheets only said one thing. The same thing happened to Louis Lehman's father, Paul Lehman, before he acquired many well-known companies such as Anheuser-Busch InBev, Burger King, Heinz Foods, etc. One of the members of the management team has a derailed female family member, or the chairman, the CEO, or the CFO, all of which are the most important position managers of the company.

Sitting in that position, being a little busy every day, and having no time to take care of the family, it seems that it is not difficult to understand that the wife cheats, but if it happens once, it is called a coincidence. What about two times? three times? If it's still a coincidence, then you deserve to be ruined by others, and you lose your wife and lose your army.

While Yang Cheng sighed in his heart that he was indeed too young, he also had doubts in his heart. After all, this method was too contrived, and it was easy to cause public anger and be attacked by the crowd. Could it be that the Lehman family has this hobby?

He is young, but the bigger problem is that his previous life experience is limited to the middle and lower classes, his field of vision is too small, and the few news about the upper class are all based on hearsay. There is real evidence, which leads him to view the problem too narrowly, how can he accomplish his goal if this problem is not solved.

Speak your doubts and ask your father for advice.

"Hehe, first, these cases alone won't attract suspicion; second, no man, especially a successful man, would take the initiative to admit that he was cuckolded, and 99% would choose to hide it; third, people's attention Always chasing winners, and even disdain sympathy for losers who get kicked out."

After a pause, he took a cigar and continued, "Furthermore, this matter is not necessarily directed by Paul Lehman, it is more likely that Louis Lehman made his own decision, and Paul Lehman knew but did not stop him. With an attitude of acquiescence, what can the capitalists do for the sake of profit?

Even if there is an incident one day, he can completely put the responsibility on Louis Lehman and kill his relatives. After all, he is the most important investor in South America and has the same reputation as Buffett. I am afraid that no one wants to touch his brows. get to the bottom. "

Yang Sen's words gave Yang Cheng a sense of 'the city's routines are deep, I want to go back to the countryside', but the brows that had just been smoothed frowned again and asked, "So, Louis Lehman is staring at his mother, does it mean that? The Lehman family is going to buy Yuanshan? No way, haven’t they been stirring up trouble in the food industry?”

"No, no, it's not that they want to acquire Yuanshan. If they want to swallow Yuanshan, they still lack good teeth..." Yang Sen said domineeringly. This strength and confidence say this sentence,

Not to mention Paul Lehman, even if Buffett makes a shot, he can't guarantee 100% success. After all, Yuanshan Capital is a banner for Chinese in the field of financial capital.

But before the words were finished, Yang Sen waved his hand, took the initiative to interrupt the topic, changed a comfortable sitting position to look at Yang Cheng, and said, "Let's not talk about it, I'm not sure yet, I need more evidence to verify, Tell me about you, I took the initiative to go home after a few months, I must be begging me for something, right?"

Yang Cheng's little heart skipped a beat, almost reaching his throat. If he hadn't subconsciously told him that he wouldn't be found out, he would have taken the initiative to reveal his true form by now.

After straightening his face, he said according to the pre-made draft, "Lin Qian's affairs have already been turned over, and I am tired of playing. You also know that I have been investing, but most of them are small things. Recently I found an opportunity to do something big and need your help."

How can Yang Sen think too much, just think that his son is really thinking about it. In the past 4 years, what Yang Cheng has done, he and Liu Yun have seen it in their eyes and hurt their hearts. They have said words of comfort and comfort countless times, but there is no point. As a result, both of them gradually gave up, thinking that this is not bad, at least they have no worries about food and clothing.

Unexpectedly, Yang Cheng suddenly figured it out, involving his own blood, the calmness and wisdom of the past have long been ruthlessly abandoned.

"Okay, okay, your mother must be very happy if she knew..." Yang Sen choked up a little, the man who once led Yuanshan Capital through all obstacles and never shed a single tear, for his son's eyes turned red.

Yang Cheng lowered his eyelids, not daring to look at Yang Sen. . .

After a long while, Yang Sen better packed his emotions and said with a chuckle, "Okay, the two big gentlemen act as daughters, and it is spread out that people make jokes and say that there is something you need me to help with."

Yang Cheng rubbed his eyes, squeezed out a smile, and took a deep breath, "I want to buy a stake in Delta Air Lines..."

Immediately, Yang Sen's pupils shrank, and Erlang's legs were raised, restoring the wise character of an entrepreneur, "Tell me about it carefully."

Yang Sen drank the remaining foreign wine in the cup, suppressed his messy emotions, and talked eloquently, "Whether it is our Yuanshan Capital or other emerging forces, they are trying to break through the cages set by the old-fashioned families or consortiums. Find a new way out.

The resource fields, heavy industry, and manufacturing fields that are most likely to form combat effectiveness do not need to be considered. The pie has been distributed long ago. The earth is so big and there are only so many resources, so it is impossible to make a big pie.

As far as I know, the emerging tech Internet hegemons in Silicon Valley, led by Apple, Google, and Oracle, have plans to build their own exchanges in the west. Once they succeed, there is no doubt that the future will be bright. up, can't move.

But what about us? What about Chinese in North America? Is it to choose a side again? Or take advantage of their snipe and clam fight, be a fisherman and gain from it, so that he can dominate one side by himself?

Of course, I don't have that big ambition to dominate the Chinese world, and I'm not that great. I work hard for the future of other people, and I don't want to be the Virgin Mary.

But if we don't want to stand in line, we must have the strength to protect ourselves and let both sides acquiesce to our neutral position.

The aviation industry, which is going to be chaotic at the moment, is our fisherman's best chance to benefit.

Now our distant mountain capital is no different from a sky garden. It seems to be high and beautiful, but a hurricane can blow us away. If we want to be safe, we must have a foundation, we must fall to the ground, and even if we are defeated, we will escape. If the financial crisis like in 2008 happens again, do you have the confidence to get through it again? "

Although Yang Cheng's long talk is a bit far-fetched and the topic is a bit big, it can't be wrong. Yuanshan Capital was born out of a real estate group. The operation method is simply to acquire those non-performing assets, and then renovate, rebuild or sell or To make money by self-employed, it is easy to say when no one is targeting you, but once someone is eyeing you and deliberately sniping at you?

Yuanshan Capital is rich, but after all, not all of them belong to their Yang family. Most of them are external funds. If there is a crisis, even if there is a slight disturbance, the owner of the funds will withdraw the funds. At that time, Yuanshan Capital was vulnerable.

The above is what Yang Cheng said after careful consideration, because war must have a high-sounding excuse, you can't start a war for no reason, please refer to the fascists for such an end.

He wants to take a stake in one of the three major airlines in North America, the most profitable airline, or even become the largest shareholder. It is as difficult as climbing Mount Everest without help. If there is no good reason, Janssen would not agree, and Janssen would not agree. On his own, who is the director and shareholder of Delta Air Lines?

Yang Cheng understands this, and Yang Sen doesn't understand. In fact, Yang Cheng's words, Yang Sen did not take it too seriously. Instead, he used his brain and kept thinking about the possibility of winning Delta Air Lines, and he always felt that Yang Cheng's plan More than that.

"What about after taking a stake in Delta Air Lines? You want to run it yourself? We have no experience in managing an airline, so what are your thoughts?" Yang Sen leaned back in his chair, staring at him with piercing eyes. Yang Orange.

Yang Sen's question made Yang Cheng feel a little guilty, because his fundamental idea was to make some achievements and make a name for himself, and then be a son, heir, bubble star, supermodel, etc. Mountain Capital could not be better.

But the remarks just now are about to hollow out the old bottom. If it wasn't for the memory blessing left by the original Yang Cheng, it would have been impossible to hold on.

Now is not the time to sigh, so I hurriedly activated my wits, pondered for a moment and replied, "This is the age of information talk, the age of self-media, everyone has a pair of eyes to see through secrets, especially when we are in the West, the network environment is relatively open, In such an era, there are really no secrets at all. If those old-fashioned families started to hide their wealth decades earlier, there would be nothing about Bill Gates now.

And low-key also needs to be divided into eras. In the era of poor information, deliberately keeping a low profile and reducing the attention of the outside world is a good way to protect yourself.

But now we need to be famous, we need fame to protect us, so that people who want to touch our fat will have scruples and dare not smear us at will. To give a simple example, Michael Jackson, little RB, in order to firmly tie this man to death. A cash cow, as well as his huge music copyrights including Elvis and The Beatles, made him a pedophile beast, but Michael's status as a king has not been shaken in the slightest.

So taking a stake in Delta Air Lines is just the first step. . . "
