341 Negative-sum games
Hearing Don Puding's words and a hint of crazy ecology, Faisal took a deep breath to hide the ecstasy in his heart at this moment!
Yes, the $500 billion did not scare Faisal away, but it made him so excited that his heart beat nearly twice as fast as usual.
That's right, for the 99.99% of the world's rich and family, 500 billion US dollars is a daunting number, but this definitely does not include the royal family he serves.
Just on the world royal assets ranking just counted, the royal wealth he serves ranks first among all the royal families in the world. Of course, this refers to the countries where the royal family still exists.
Its total assets are valued at as high as US$1.9 trillion!
Of course, this is just an estimated total asset, not the funds that can be mobilized at hand.
For example, those gold toilets with diamonds used by the royal family are also included. However, from a financial perspective, it is no problem for a royal family with a total assets of 1.9 trillion US dollars to leverage 30 times of funds at will.
So Don Puding called out 500 billion US dollars, which made Faisal go crazy! Especially the promise that if China cannot win the Hercules Cup, the full return of the 500 billion US dollars will be made with principal and interest.
This means that if the business is negotiated, it may be a few months at the earliest, and two years later, he will not only allow the funder behind him to have a complete version of telomere editing technology, but also be able to spend a penny without spending.
And there is a high probability that he doesn't have to wait for two years. Faisal is not optimistic that the Chinese national football team can really enter the World Cup. In other words, at most, he can only have hundreds of billions of dollars left for the royal family in one year!
Once this business is completed, he is almost able to retire.
Not to mention it too much, as long as the business ends normally, his commission will be at least one billion, and it will be US dollars! It is enough for him to live his life freely.
Of course, with Tang Puding's desperate gamble, this investment is still risky. Because on that day, Tang Puding obviously needs to compensate him, what if he has no money to pay?
This is probably the only thing Faisal is worried about.
"What? Are you worried that I'm bragging? Five hundred billion US dollars are transferred to my account. If the Chinese national football team really loses, I have no money to pay you? You think too much! Let me tell you that I, Don Pudding, never owe these bad debts! I can make money even if I don't have money! If you can't believe it, I can be a group to help me guarantee it, Dalem Group, Apple, Google, Microsoft, etc. If it's not enough, our laboratory still has technology. I will list a directory when I really can't afford it. You can still have a wave of these technologies! In short, do you dare to bet a word!"
Don Pudding said disdainfully.
"Yes, then we will do that!" Faisal said with a slamming thigh.
At this time, he had forgotten how unbearable this small space was. In fact, Faisal was already in an extremely excited state at this time and could not smell any smell.
Even if I just wanted half of my butt to be on the sofa, I couldn't care about so much now. My whole butt was pressed up, and my face was even more swollen and red. This was a must-win gambling.
However, what made his heart tremble suddenly was that when he became happy, he found that Don Pudding on the opposite side showed a hesitation.
Yes!
Don Puding hesitated, it was obvious that the young man showed a look of regret on his face, and this regret did not escape Faisal's eyes.
As an old fox who has been immersed in the capital market for many years, he never misses any detail on his negotiating opponent's face, even when he is most excited. So Faisal was also upset, why did he act so straightforward?
Too failed.
As a veteran of negotiating, he should obviously be more calm at this time, and even argued with Tang Puding, and in the end he had to agree was the king.
The contract has not been officially signed yet. What did he do so readily? What did he do?
What about his experience? Why did he make mistakes that young people make?
The sheep will be repaired!
Thinking of this, Faisal restrained his emotions and showed his struggle: "Mr. Don Puding, but you have to know that 500 billion US dollars is really not a small amount, and it will take a while for us to raise it..."
"Huh? That's it? Then don't force yourself so much. It's really rare to mobilize a $500 billion investment. Maybe it will affect the ongoing projects. Why bother? Why not? Why not just trade according to normal transactions, buy our technology as much as you can, and buy our lottery as much as you can."
Don Puding directly interrupted Faisal and suggested.
The look of eagerness to repent was particularly well-behaved.
"This...so Mr. Don Puding was joking just now? He just wanted to scare us away? Or Mr. Don Puding didn't have the courage to trade with us?" Faisal changed his mind and sneered and used the provocation method.
Yes, his provocation method is very obvious and can basically see through it at a glance.
But Faisal was not afraid that Don Pudding would see through it. In fact, he had dealt with many young and successful wealthy people. These people were like Don Pudding. Although their parents' blessings accounted for a large part, they were also very capable. These people had a unified characteristic, that is, pride, very proud.
The performance at the negotiating table is that even though they know that the other party is aggressive, they always do not take the bait independently.
"Who told you that I was joking with you? It was obvious that you said it was difficult to raise this money! I just wanted to change a trading model that is beneficial to everyone."
Sure enough, Don Puding flatly denied Faisal's words and said coldly.
"Mr. Tang really doesn't have to bother with us..."
"Who said I wouldn't bother me? Since it's difficult to raise this money, you must ask me to give you enough time to raise money during the negotiations, and even ask for settlement in installments. I like to be clean and neat in business and hate all kinds of troubles the most. It's just a one-time transaction, and it must be delayed for several months to complete. What's the point? Maybe the Chinese national football team will have all the results! What do you think?" Tang Puding argued.
"Okay, Mr. Don Puding, then you tell me, if we want to complete the transaction according to the conditions we just agreed, how long will it take for us to pay?" Faisal asked simply.
"Three days! If you promise to pay in full within three days, I will do this business with you! I'm sorry, we won't discuss this business!" Old God Tang Puding stretched out three fingers and said.
"Three days?" Faisal's eyes shook.
If it only takes three days, there is no doubt that the cost will be much greater, but thinking about the huge benefits that this business can bring, Faisal felt that these costs seemed to be within a affordable range.
But this time Faisal did not agree directly, but asked with a wry smile: "Three days are too short! Can it be extended a little? Half a month?"
"Half a month? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Tang Puding shook his head like a rattle without thinking.
Just looking at this, it is obvious that Faisal wants to give up in trouble.
"That's a week?" Faisal said again.
"No! The transaction will be invalid if it can't be collected in three days!" Tang Puding said firmly, without any room for maneuver, and even a hint of impatience appeared on his face.
"Okay! Three days are three days! I will try my best to get it! There is only one problem. Once I start to raise the money, various expenses will be incurred in the middle. What if you regret it then?" Faisal asked.
"What do you think?" Don Puding asked, gritting his teeth.
"If I want to mobilize 500 billion US dollars in three days, it will inevitably affect many established projects and will also require extremely high interest. If the final contract cannot be signed, the economic losses may be as high as 10 billion US dollars! So today we must sign a contract. If I raise enough money within three days, but you choose not to trade, you will compensate us for the losses ten times! That is 100 billion US dollars!" Faisal said toughly.
"A hundred billion US dollars?" Don Puding looked so angry that he asked, "I have never heard of such an excessive unilateral request. Then I ask you, if you don't make up enough money in three days and the contract cannot be carried out, how much damage will you compensate me?"
"If I have to say that, if I end up not raising enough money to complete the transaction, we will compensate you 50 billion US dollars!" Faisal thought for a while and said.
"Why should we pay 100 billion to break the contract? You only need to compensate me for 50 billion to break the contract? Where did you get the confidence that makes me exaggerated trading rules like this?" Tang Puding said arrogantly.
"This is different. In fact, we take greater risks, and you have no risks at all! The telomerular editing technology will not become worthless because of three days, and it will take huge and high cost to mobilize 500 billion US dollars in three days!" Faisal argued.
"No! Either everyone's breach of contract amount is the same or they won't sign the contract!" Tang Puding vetoed without hesitation.
Faisal discovered that Don Puding had no intention of reasoning with him.
But then again, this is not the focus of Faisal's concern.
After the two looked at each other for a while, Faisal gave in.
"Okay, as you wish, just follow what you said, Mr. Don Puding. In three days, no matter which party breaches the contract, they will pay the other party a penalty of $100 billion. I need to arrange for our lawyer to draw up a contract as soon as possible. So can we sign the contract today?" Faisal said dejectedly.
"Are you sure? Mr. Faisal? Do you really want to bet with me this time? You should know that football is round and anything can happen on the football field. Although the Chinese national football team is not a strong team in the traditional sense, theoretically speaking, men's football teams from any country in the world have the possibility of reaching the top in the World Cup."
When Faisal surrendered, Don Pudding became serious and seriously reminded Faisal that there were risks in this transaction.
"Of course, I'm pretty sure! I admit that this wave of gambles may have great risks. I don't deny that before the final result comes out, the Chinese national football team may indeed succeed. But it will be at least two years later. Who knows? But I still think that the Chinese national football team will be able to win the cup is very small! But if someone wants to bet with faith, it's not impossible. The only thing I need to be sure now is that we will talk so much here, but in the end you regret it, right? Mr. Tang Puding?"
Faisal said, looking at Don Pudding with a contemptuous look.
There is no way, this is part of the provocation method.
Although deep down, he did not want to offend a promising young man like Don Puding, he also had to make money, have to eat, and have to support his family, right?
"Bah? Repent? Do you think I'm a person who will repent for such a little money? Mr. Faisal! You underestimate me too much! OK, sign it! I'll contact our lawyer now! Whoever doesn't sign today is a grandson! But I want to remind you at the end, you still have a chance to give up now, but once the contract is signed, there is no medicine to regret! As a human being, before gamble, you must first consider the worst result, that is, if you really lose, will you afford to lose! Many people are ruined by greed!"
Don Puding suddenly calmed down and said meaningfully.
This is the final hint, yes, people are often destroyed by greed.
"Haha, don't worry, Mr. Don Puding, I have always been willing to accept the loss! There is no doubt about this. If I can't afford to bet, there will be no conversation between us today! Then let's prepare the contract and sign it today! Although this is not a zero-sum game, I still hope this cooperation will be pleasant!" Faisal smiled and spoke.
"No, no, no, no, the game between negative and negative cannot be both happy. If you feel that you are a gentleman, you can wish me good luck, but I will never bless you! Because I would rather bless myself! Okay, why don't we all put away our hypocritical faces and go and get the contract! You won, Mr. Faisal!"
Don Puding waved his hand, not seeing how upset he was, but he didn't seem too excited.
He just negotiated a project worth 500 billion US dollars, which was converted into RMB with a total of more than 3 trillion, but it did not make him feel happy.
But this is normal in Faisal's opinion!
As Don Puding said, it was a big bet! But he, Faisal, had already taken the lead!
And Don Pudding just struggled to save face.
Therefore, at this time, all the persuasion of Don Puding was just a final struggle for his youthful and ridiculous face. Faisal had already calculated everything.
If this guy really let go of that ridiculous face, shouldn’t he communicated with Huaxia Sports Lottery earlier and immediately suspend the issuance of special lottery tickets?
