Chapter 173 Trading

"I said Rebecca, what's the use of seeing the old man Tapi here? Will he plead for us and ask the Credit Bank of Lyon to take the initiative to lower the price?" After walking into the gate of the manor where Tapi now lives, Zhuang Mingge asked in confusion.

"Well, that's right. Before the final negotiations with Credit Lyon Bank, I still need to complete some of the final transfer procedures with Mr. Tapi, which will become the most important bargaining chips for us when negotiating with those Frenchmen." Groz briefly explained to Zhuang Mingge.

Groz's next words are more critical. This is a problem she discovered from information from many years ago, that is, Adidas experienced serious business fraud during the share transfer process!

While walking on the road to the depths of the manor, Groz Jr. told Zhuang Mingge that many years ago, when Tapi was about to become the Minister of the City at the invitation of French President Mitterrand, but Mitterrand asked Tapi to resign from his position in business.

The largest industry under Tapi is Adidas in its hands. At this time, Adidas was in the most recession. 1992 was a record-breaking year for the sports equipment company. It was preparing to serve as cabinet minister and did not want to lose money on Adidas anymore. Tapi wanted to sell its shares to Lyon Credit Bank for cash out. After negotiations, the two parties set the price of the company's assets at 407 million euros, and Tapi's shares were sold for 300 million euros.

What Tapi, who was busy with political affairs, didn't know that during this period, Adidas had actually begun to turn losses into profits and its assets increased exponentially. The people of Credit Bank of Lyon did not mention this when they were transferred, so the problem lies here!

"No, Rebecca, do you think the share transfer agreement between Tapi and Credit Bank of Lyon is invalid?" When Groz told Zhuang Mingge that she was absolutely sure to make the Adidas share transfer agreement three years ago a waste of paper, Zhuang Mingge was so shocked by Groz's words that he almost dropped his chin to the ground, although he couldn't figure out where the problem was...

"It doesn't matter, it's all a formality anyway. Whether it's an invalid contract or a fraud, if I can get what I want this time, negotiations with those people in Lyon will be easier!" At this point, Groz stopped and the two finally arrived at the destination of this trip to Marseille.

puff!

In a private manor in the southern suburbs of Marseille, after hearing the purpose of Groz, the owner of the manor sprayed out all the coffee he had just sent into his mouth in a very embarrassed manner.

"Well, I heard it right, Miss Groz, are you saying you are willing to bear all the debts I owe?"

At this time, Little Groz did not have the cute expression he was when he was alone with Zhuang Mingge. He seemed to be indifferent to Tapi's rude behavior just now. He calmly and elegantly picked up the black tea in front of him, looked at the other party with a smile, and said, "Mr. Tapi, you really heard it wrong. This is undoubtedly true, Mr. Antonio Corleon and I are willing to bear all your debts."

Quiet, dead silence! Tapi, the former Marseille boss in his early fifties, looked at the young woman he didn't care much at the beginning. It was this woman who had just said to Tapi, "We are willing to bear all your debts." It almost made Comrade Tapi, who had been tested for a long time, feel so excited that he almost suffered a cerebral hemorrhage.

That's a huge debt of $150 million! How crazy are these two little guys? They actually want to take over such a deal that is safe and unprofitable?

What a shrewd woman! Zhuang Mingge thought in his heart that Little Groz threw such a huge pie to the poor Tapi at this time, and Tapi would definitely be overjoyed.

However, when Groz said he wanted to help Tapi pay the huge debt of $150 million, although Zhuang Mingge had already been mentally prepared, he would inevitably feel dizzy.

Even fools can feel that things are not simple, so Mr. Tapi, who was so stupid that he sold Adidas, would not agree to Groz's proposal immediately. Although his trembling mouth clearly showed his inner excitement at this time, his brows immediately tightened into a ball, and undoubtedly told Groz and Zhuang Mingge that this old man was not a good fool.

At this time, Tapi, who was in his heart, tried to recall what valuable assets he had in his heart, which could be used to exchange for the $150 million debt that he couldn't breathe.

With the industry being auctioned, all assets being liquidated, and even his current residence was lent to him by his old friend Mitterrand, Tapi couldn't think of what capital he had to be targeted by these two young people.

During the long wait, Zhuang Mingge wanted to ask, but immediately he was glared back by a look of Groz. Then Zhuang Mingge thought for a moment and decided to sit on the sofa and wait and see what happened.

"So, what do I need to pay for this?"

Not everyone understands the principle of "there is no free lunch in the world". However, this principle is still deeply understood by Tapi, who has experienced great ups and downs over the years. Therefore, the self-aware former Marseille boss asked this question.

"I need to get all the debts you have in hand!"

What a genius idea! Zhuang Mingge almost applauded Groz's series of performances. He first promised that he would pay off the huge debts owed by the other party and directly made the opponent lose his stance. Then, before the other party could fully react, he proposed a seemingly insignificant exchange condition, so as to achieve his own goal without realizing it. This behavior is not considered commercial fraud. After all, it has been explained in advance that the exchange of "all" debts is exchanged, and there is no sufficient reason for Tapi to regret it.

When you exchange debts for debts, we will hand over all your debts to us, while bearing all your debts, it sounds very fair and reasonable at first glance, without a doubt. But the question is, what if you bear a debt of one hundred yuan but only get a penny of debt?

Tapi felt that the two little guys who were in front of him must be confused. Although he was not a good person and never wanted to live such a tight life again, there was no need to deliberately cheat the two young people. He kindly reminded him: "Miss Groz, Mr. Corleon, I don't know if you know that the debts in my hands are only the 1 million US dollars that the Credit Bank of Lyon still owed me, and I have nothing else."
