Chapter 8 Persuasion I
"What's going on with that Lehman?"
The father and son sat opposite each other, and the afterglow spread into the room, as if they were covered with red gauze. The fragrance of brandy mixed with Janssen's cigar.
Hearing Yang Sen’s question, Yang Cheng couldn’t help laughing, “I really think you don’t care, dad…”
"Nonsense, normal admiration is not a bad thing. It proves that your mother is charming in disguise. I have a vision for your father. Besides, I came over by the corpse of my love rival back then, but what if it is a purpose?" Yang Sen's gaze became deeper in the sunset and said meaningfully.
"Do you suspect that Louis Lehman has something else to ask?" Yang Cheng put down his wine glass and asked.
But he immediately refuted himself, "No, I asked someone 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 look at things just on the surface..."
He got up and picked up a document from the desk, and when he came back, he threw it away directly in Yang Cheng's arms, "Look, this is what John found on my way back."
Yang Cheng opened the information and read it with a slight dissatisfaction.
The information is not long, more than one and a half pages, and I quickly browsed it in ten lines at a glance, opened my mouth, not knowing what to say.
The words on these two A4 print papers only say one thing. Paul Lehman's father, Paul Lehman, had the same thing happened before acquiring many well-known companies such as InBev, Burger King, Heinz Food, etc. The woman in the family of one of the management team members cheated, either as the chairman, CEO, or CFO, and were all the most important managers in the company.
It seems that it is not difficult to understand when you sit in that position, be busy every day, and have no time to care about your family, causing your wife to cheat. But once a coincidence occurs is called a coincidence, twice? three times? If you still treat it as a coincidence, you deserve to be ruined by someone, and you will lose your wife and your army.
While Yang Cheng sighed in his heart that he was indeed too young, he also felt confused. After all, this method was too despicable and could easily arouse public anger and be attacked by the group. Could it be that the Lehman family and the family have this hobby?
If there is a problem, you can't hide it. He is young, but the bigger problem is that his experience in his previous life is limited to the middle and lower classes, his vision is too small, and the few news about the upper class are also heard from the inside and without real basis. This leads to his view of the problem too narrowly. If this problem is not solved, how can he achieve his goals?
Tell me out my doubts and ask my dad for advice.
"Haha, first, these cases will not attract doubts; second, without that man, especially successful men, will voluntarily admit that they are cuckolded, and 99% will choose to hide; third, people's eyes will always chase the successful ones, and as for the losers who are acquired and kicked out, they even disdain to sympathize with them."
He paused, took a cigar and continued, "Besides, this matter is not necessarily instructed by Paul Lehman. What is more likely to be Louis Lehman's own initiative, but Paul Lehman knew it but did not stop it. With a tacit attitude, what can't the capitalists do for the sake of their interests?
Even if one day the matter is revealed, he can completely put the blame on Louis Lehman and kill his relatives for justice. After all, he is the most prestigious investor in South America and is as famous as Buffett. I am afraid no one wants to touch his eyebrows and investigate him deeply."
Yang Sen's words gave Yang Cheng a sense of "deep urban routines, I want to go back to the countryside", but his brows had just been smoothed and asked, "So Louis Lehman is targeting his mother. Is the Lehman family going to acquire the far mountain? No, aren't they always stirring up trouble in the food industry?"
"No, no, no, it's not about buying Yuanshan. If you want to swallow Yuanshan, they still lack good teeth..." Yang Sen said domineeringly. He was not a pig's nose that was fitted with a green onion, but Yuanshan Capital had the strength and confidence to say this. Not to mention Paul Lehman, even Buffett took action, he could not guarantee 100% success. After all, Yuanshan Capital is a banner for Chinese people in the field of financial capital.
However, before he could finish his words, Yang Sen waved his hand, took the initiative to interrupt the topic, changed to a comfortable sitting position and looked at Yang Cheng, and said, "I can't tell you about this matter for now. I need more evidence to verify it. Let me tell you. After a few months, I must have something to ask me for help, right?"
Yang Cheng's little heart thumped, almost reaching his throat. If he hadn't subconsciously told him that he wouldn't have been discovered, he would probably have revealed his true form at this moment.
After a complete look, he said according to the pre-made draft, "Lin Xi's affairs have been over, and I'm tired of playing. You know that I have been investing all the time, but most of them are small fuss. Recently, I have found an opportunity to do something big and need your help."
Yang Sen didn't think too much, just thinking that his son was really open-minded. Over the past four years, he and Liu Yun saw what Yang Cheng had done and felt in pain in their hearts. They said the words of persuasion and comfort countless times, but there was no effect. Both of them gradually gave up. They thought that this was good, at least they had no worries about food and clothing.
Unexpectedly, Yang Cheng suddenly figured it out. It involves his own bloodline. His past calmness and prideful wisdom had long been abandoned ruthlessly.
"Okay, okay, your mother would be very happy if she knew..." Yang Sen choked up a little. The man who once led Yuanshan Capital to overcome all obstacles and trespassed and never shed a single tear, his eyes turned red for his son.
Yang Cheng lowered her eyelids and didn't dare to look at Yang Sen's appearance...
After a while, Yang Sen better cleaned up his emotions and chuckled, "Okay, the two big men acted as daughters. It made people laugh when they spread, and they asked me to help if there was anything."
Yang Cheng rubbed his eyes, squeezed out a smile, and took a deep breath, "I want to invest in Delta Airlines..."
Suddenly, Yang Sen's pupils shrank, raised his legs and restored his entrepreneur's wise nature, "Tell me carefully."
Yang Sen drank the remaining foreign wine in the glass, suppressed the messy emotions, and talked freely, "Whether it is our Yuanshan Capital or other emerging forces, they are trying to break through the cages set up by old families or consortiums and find a new way out.
The resource fields that are most likely to form combat effectiveness are not to be considered in heavy industry and manufacturing. The heroes have already divided the cakes. The earth is so big and there are so many resources, and it is impossible to make a big cake.
As far as I know, the emerging technology Internet overlords of Silicon Valley, led by Apple, Google and Oracle, have plans to build their own exchanges in the west. Once successful, there will undoubtedly be a bright future. This is equivalent to a knife inserted into the pipa bone on Wall Street and unable to move.
But what about us? What about the Chinese in North America? Should we choose one side again? Or should we be a fisherman when they are fighting against each other and profit from it, so as to stand on the mountain and dominate the other side?
Of course, I don’t have that great ambition to unify the Chinese world, nor that great. I work hard for the future of others, so I don’t want to be the Virgin.
But if we don’t want to take sides, we must have the strength to protect ourselves and let both parties abide by our neutral position.
The aviation industry, which is about to begin with chaos, is the best opportunity for our fishermen to benefit.
Now our distant mountain capital is like a garden in the sky. It seems to be high and beautiful, but a hurricane can destroy us. If you want safety, you must have a foundation and fall to the ground. Even if you are defeated, there is room for escape. If the financial crisis like that in 2008 occurs again, will you be confident that you will be able to survive the safety again?"
Although Yang Cheng’s long-term discussion is a bit far-reaching and the topic is a bit big, we cannot be wrong. Yuanshan Capital was born into a real estate group. The operating method is simply to make money by acquiring those non-performing assets, then revising, building, selling or self-operating. It is easy to say when no one targets you, but once someone is eyeing you, will you deliberately sniping you?
Yuanshan Capital is rich, but after all, it is not all their Yang family. Most of them are external funds. When there is a crisis, even if there is a slight disturbance, the owner of the funds will withdraw the funds. Yuanshan Capital at that time was vulnerable.
The above is what Yang Cheng said after careful consideration, because war must have high-sounding excuses, and you cannot start a war for no reason. For such an outcome, please refer to the fascists.
He wants to acquire a stake in one of the three major airlines in North America, and is also the most profitable airline, or even become the largest shareholder. The difficulty is the same as if you independently climb Mount Everest without help. If there is no sufficient reason, Yang Sen would not agree. However, Yang Sen disagrees. He is solely on himself, who does Delta Air Lines directors know him?
Yang Cheng understood this, and Yang Sen also understood it. In fact, Yang Sen did not take Yang Cheng's words too seriously. Instead, he started to think about the possibility of winning Delta Airlines. He always felt that Yang Cheng's plan was more than that.
"What about after you have acquired a stake in Delta Airlines? Do you have to operate it yourself? We don't have the experience of managing an airline, so what ideas do you have to say together?" Yang Sen leaned back on the back of the chair, staring at Yang Cheng with bright eyes.
Yang Sen's problem made Yang Cheng feel a little guilty, because his fundamental idea was to make some achievements and give a nickname, and then safely become a young man, heir, bubble female star, supermodel, etc. Of course, it would be better if Yuanshan Capital could be taken to the next level.
But the remarks just now were almost emptying. If it weren't for the memory blessings left by Yang Cheng, he would have been unable to hold on.
Now is not the time to sigh, so I quickly started to rush and thought for a moment and replied, "Now is the era of information talks and the era of self-media. Everyone has eyes to see through secrets, especially since we are in the West, the Internet environment is relatively open. In such an era, there is really no secret. If it weren't for those old families who began to hide their wealth decades earlier, there would be no Bill Gates now.
Moreover, low-key must be divided into times. It is a good way to protect yourself when you deliberately keep low-key in an era of unobstructed information and reduce external attention.
But now we need to be famous and famous to protect us, so that those who want to touch our fat are scruples and dare not slander us at will. To give a simple example, Michael Jackson and RB, in order to firmly tie the money tree to death, as well as the huge music copyright in his hands, including Elvis and the Beatles, have portrayed him as a pedophilia beast, but Michael's status as a king has not been shaken at all.
