Kevin could only smile embarrassedly when he was exposed directly by Heidi. It seemed that this woman was serious and knew that not only Goldman Sachs, Macquarie, Mitsui, but also Barclays and Standard Chartered in this game.
To be honest, in Europe, the most influential place of the Rosselder family is Britain, because during World War II, only Britain was not involved in the hands of the Nazis.
Their industrial chains in other parts of the European continent were basically smashed by the Nazis. Even if they were not smashed, they were basically liquidated and confiscated by the local government after World War II.
For example, the fixed investments in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union were basically nationalized by those guys. I won’t mention those that cannot be collected. Even the assets of countries such as the Netherlands, Belgium, France, and Germany are the same. They are either beaten to pieces or directly nationalized.
Needless to say, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium are the three countries. Their assets in these countries have basically been smashed by the Nazis, and you can't even get them back if you want them.
As for those in France, let alone those who are in France, the bastard Charles de Gaulle is not a good person to talk to. After World War II, with a wave of his hand, many of the assets of the Rossellard family turned into state-owned assets of France.
Even in the 1900s, his descendants refused to let go of the property of the Rossellard family. Their banks in France were nationalized by France at that time, and they did not dare to go to others to argue.
But in Britain, it is a completely different matter. The good relationship with the British royal nobles and senior politicians allowed the property of the Rosscailder family to be preserved.
After World War II, it was precisely because of the losses in Europe that the Red Shield family strengthened their financial penetration and control over the UK. In terms of banks, it can be said that almost all the large commercial banks in the UK are behind them.
So it is impossible for commercial banks like Barclays and Standard Chartered Bank to say that they do not have shares in the Roth Child family.
The game Goldman Sachs did this time seems to be a lot of banks sharing food. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is the matter of three companies, one is American, one is Rossield, and the other is Japanese.
Now Heidi said she wanted to join in, as long as Macquarie people help her talk, then Goldman Sachs would definitely give face.
As for their 60% gain, it is equivalent to telling Rosseld's people. Don't play this game, and even drive the Japanese out of the game.
So, except for the awkward smile, Kevin's rest was all wry smiles. This was not a good job.
You should know that cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents. The Japanese are not like being with them, especially in Southeast Asia. Although they do not have strong political influence, their economic influence is not a joke.
If they annoyed them this time, who would know where these vengeful guys will find you back?
There are two Japanese companies playing in Goldman Sachs this time, one is Mitsui Resource Risk Control, and the other is Sumitomo Mitsui Bank. These two companies represent two top chaebols in Japan, one is Mitsui and the other is Sumitomo.
Offending one of them will already make Kevin feel a headache, let alone offend two at once?
"Miss Heidi, I don't know why you made such a request. This game is actually not as big as you imagined. In fact, after all, this game may be just $500 million or 600 million at best. I don't know why, you are so interested in this game? And even if you can win, it will take a few months to get the money? Compared with the concessions you made at Dirham Oil Company, it is simply not worth mentioning. What's more, do you think it's good to offend Mitsui and Sumitomo like this?"
Kevin asked tentatively, and he always felt that there were some things that were not only seen here.
Heidi on the opposite side smiled slightly at this time, as if she had expected this test of Kevin.
"This is not your concern, Mr. Kevin. I can only tell you that the reason why we want to participate in this bureau and have so much share is not that we care about that little money, but that we care about the people involved in this bureau? Another thing is that the people who want to offend Mitsui and Sumitomo are not us, but you. This is also a major reason why we make such a big concession on the price of Dirham Oil Company."
Kevin understood a little, but he was a little confused. But he could finally figure it out, that is, Heidi and the others didn't seem to care about this game, how much money they could make. What they cared more about was the suckers who were regarded as fools in this game.
Thinking about it again, Kevin felt a little relieved. In recent years, China's economy has been in a period of rapid growth. Many overseas investors are very interested in entering China's speculation. Yes, it is speculation, not investment.
For capitalists, playing finance is always faster than engaging in industry, and the development of China now means a golden opportunity for them.
However, China has strict control over foreign investment, especially foreign investment entering China.
In recent times, Americans have been constantly putting pressure on Chinese people, forcing them to relax their currencies, which has also allowed many speculators to see opportunities.
Everyone wants to take this opportunity to invest their money in the Chinese market before the exchange rate of Chinese currencies is loosened, but Chinese people are very careful in foreign exchange control.
So everyone must use their brains and come up with various solutions. And the Chinese fools in this game seem to have a very background.
If they can grasp their braids, then in the future, when investing in China, there will undoubtedly be many more helpers...
When Kevin thought of this, he felt as if he understood Heidi's meaning, so he smiled and nodded.
"Okay, let's try it, but it will take a while."
"As soon as possible, Mr. Kevin, you only have one week."
Heidi's words made Kevin want to jump up and pinch her to death, which was too much, but in the end he still held it back.
"Let me do this, I can give you the money first, and you can give me those share contracts first. As you said, give me a week, and I will help you solve Mitsui and Sumitomo."
Kevin said firmly, Heidi stared at his blue eyes for a while, then nodded.
"Well, I believe you, you are a Rossield after all, and I believe you will keep your promises."
In fact, she was also pretending. After all, it was a good result for her to get the 4 billion first. As for whether Kevin could handle Mitsui and Sumitomo in the end, she didn't have much expectations. However, Rosscaild was famous for keeping his promises. Who knows if they would have other means to force Mitsui and Sumitomo to bow their heads in the end.
Kevin also breathed a long sigh at this time. Today, from the beginning, he had been suppressed by this woman. This time, being able to allow this woman to agree to transfer the 70% of the shares first was also considered his first attempt.
As for whether he could convince Mitsui and Sumitomo to give up the fat meat he had in his mouth, he didn't have much confidence, but one thing he was very confident, that is, he could finally get this big culprit and completely fall into Toto and this woman's head.
You should take on the anger of the Japanese by yourself. I want me to get the chestnuts from the fire. You are dreaming.
At this moment, the two of them had their own ulterior motives, Heidi and Heidi's own abacus, and Kevin also had Kevin's own calculations.
Kevin was very straightforward. When he saw Heidi agreeing to his request, he seemed to be afraid that she would go back on his word. He called out a phone call and soon called his lawyer team, and Heidi had already prepared it.
The lawyer teams on both sides began to review the contract, which was originally a black and white matter, and Heidi did not intend to conceal or make any traps on the contract, so the two sides soon reached an agreement.
Seeing the head of his lawyer team nodding at him, Kevin took out the phone and made several calls. Then, Li Yifan, who had been hiding behind the scenes, saw that he had ten figures in his bank accounts in Cayman and the Virgin Islands, and he called Heidi.
Heidi put down the phone, took out a signing pen, and signed her own name on the share transfer contracts.
The two sides did not mean to be polite and broke up and said goodbye directly. Kevin told Heidi that it would be done when the news came. Heidi looked at his departure back and sneered at the corner of her mouth.
"No matter what, Dirham took action, and received 4 billion yuan. This is always a good thing. Now we need to pay attention to how to wash out the money at the fastest speed..."
Li Yifan came behind Heidi at some point, and the hot potato finally took action. It was time to enter the second stage.
"Do you think he will cooperate with us obediently and convince Mitsui and Sumitomo?"
Heidi was not laughing, just worried about Kevin's promise.
