Chapter 188 Charter Boat King: Give Me a Face! Lin Fei, don't give it, get out!

The charter king chose a high-end restaurant located next to Victoria Harbour, "Royal Garden", as the meeting place for Lin Fei this time.

This restaurant has won the hearts of the upper class with its fine French cuisine and impeccable service.

From the crystal chandelier to the delicate patterns on the carpet, every detail reveals a ~ self-evident luxury.

Lin Fei walked into the restaurant on time and saw that the charter boat king was already sitting by the window, sipping red wine while overlooking the beautiful Victoria-Asia Port.

"Mr. Lin, I'm glad you can appreciate the face. "

The charter king stood up and shook hands with Lin Fei.

"Mr. Bao's hospitality, how could I easily refuse. "

Lin Fei smiled, sat down and picked up the menu directly.

As soon as the two sat down, a waiter handed over a delicate French red wine.

"Lin Dong, your recent acquisition of Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land is really beautiful, it seems that I have to wait to learn hard. "

The charter king tasted the red wine and praised it.

"You've won the prize, Mr. Bao.

In my opinion, it's your mastery of the global shipping industry that is truly impressive. "

Lin Fei responded, a sincere smile on his face.

"Haha, each has its own strengths.

In the commercial sea, if you want not to sink, you must be able to swim. "

The charter king smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Mr. Bao. Your attainments in business are also admirable.

In particular, your recent leveraged buyout tactics have been a clever move. "

Lin Fei picked up the wine glass and touched it lightly with the boat king.

"That's a last resort.

After all, against a business giant like you, you can't help but have some killer features.

However, I admire your capital operation in real estate, using methods such as asset securitization and liability swap to make the whole transaction seem complicated, but in fact efficient. "

"Haha, when it comes to capital operation, your hedging of risks through derivative financial instruments was an eye-opener for me. "

Lin Fei responded with a smile.

"In that case, I think the two of us might be able to reach some kind of cooperation on the matter of Wheelock & Co. "

The charter king smiled slightly, revealing a hint of cunning.

The two exchanged a few words of greetings and tasted the appetizer, and the atmosphere gradually turned from friendly to nervous.

"Cooperation?"

"I've heard that you're also interested in Wheelock & Co., and this is a good opportunity to work together. "

The charter king said with a smile.

"Indeed, Wheelock & Co.'s portfolio and market share are very attractive. "

Lin Fei nodded in acknowledgement.

"In that case, why don't we each take a step back so as not to hurt each other in a future takeover war?"

After the charter king went around in a circle, he finally got to the point.

"What do you mean?"

Lin Fei deliberately pretended not to understand.

"What I mean is very simple, I want you to get out of this Wheelock takeover.

Of course, we will also compensate you appropriately. "

The charter king tries to solve the problem with economic incentives.

"Compensation?"

Lin Fei smiled slightly: "What to compensate?"

"We can provide you with a percentage of Wheelock's preferred shares, and at the same time, we can also give preferential treatment in other areas of cooperation. "

The charter king thinks that his conditions are already quite generous.

Lin Fei smiled: "Mr. Bao, I appreciate your directness.

But as you know, the acquisition of Wheelock & Co. is not just an economic consideration, it is also strategic. "

The charter king frowned: "Then do you plan to make a long-term investment, or do you want to achieve capital revitalization in the short term?"

"It depends on the specific liquidity of Wheelock & Co. and its future earnings forecast. "

Lin Fei was deliberately vague.

The charter king realized that Lin Fei did not plan to quit easily: "Then don't you worry about being in debt, and you are the last one to get in?"

"There are always risks and opportunities, Mr. Bao. You're also not a risk-taking person. "

Lin Fei looked at the charter boat king.

Both of them understand that today's exchange, although it is peaceful on the surface, is actually an undercurrent, and each is testing the other's bottom line.

The charter king finally glanced at Lin Fei deeply, and then raised his wine glass: "Then, willing to gamble and lose, no matter what the result is, is the choice of business rules." "

"Exactly. "

Lin Fei also raised his wine glass.

The charter king squinted his eyes, and had a more in-depth assessment of Lin Fei's situation in his heart.

He knew that Lin Fei had recently won Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land Group, and these two businesses were by no means a piece of cake, and the capital chain was bound to be tight.

But the charter king did not say these thoughts, he preferred to persuade Lin Fei in a more ingenious way.

"Mr. Lin, your recent operations can be said to be quite outstanding, especially the acquisitions of Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land, which are admirable. "

The charter king raised his wine glass, as if to raise a glass to Lin Fei's success.

"Mr. Bao, you are the best in the industry, and I am just trying to keep up with you. "

Lin Fei also raised his wine glass and gave the other party a sip.

The charter king put down his wine glass and continued: "Mr. Lin, don't you think that there are enough projects in hand now? "

"I know what you mean, Mr. Bao. But I think diversification is also a risk diversification strategy. "

Lin Fei didn't reveal much.

The charter king smiled inwardly, feeling that this was exactly what he wanted to hear.

He deliberately changed his perspective: "But aren't you worried that too much debt will lead to an increase in the debt-to-asset ratio and put pressure on cash flow?"

"Debt is a double-edged sword, and when used wisely, it can even have a magnifying effect.

I think the current debt-to-asset ratio is still within an acceptable range. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Lin Fei responded very calmly.

"Have you considered the instability of market sentiment, such as sudden financial crises, currency depreciation, etc. "

The charter king continued to hint.

"These are all within our risk assessment, after all, high risk, high reward. "

Lin Fei still smiled and said nothing. []

The charter king realized that Lin Fei might have thought about the problems he was worried about, and maybe there were ways to deal with them.

He couldn't persuade him directly, otherwise it would make Lin Fei feel that he had a plan.

The atmosphere in the restaurant gradually warmed up, and the waiters began to serve dishes one by one, from shark fin, scallops, to dried scallops and jade crab soup, each dish looked extremely luxurious.

The conversation between the two became more and more delicate, and the greetings and smiles on the surface could not hide the calculations in their hearts.

"What are Wheelock's main assets?

The charter king cut to the chase while gently picking up a slice of crab meat with chopsticks.

"Of course, the main ones are its global logistics network and some unique route authorizations. "

Lin Fei replied naturally, as if all this was expected by him.

"Do you think such an asset portfolio is suitable for Feilong Group?"

The charter king tried to find out Lin Fei's true purpose.

"It's not the most important thing whether it's suitable or not, it's important that such an asset, with the right management, has huge potential for appreciation. "

Lin Fei changed the topic and did not respond directly.

The charter king smiled slightly: "You are right, but to maximize the use of assets, you need corresponding capital flow and management experience."

How prepared do you think the Feilong Group is in this regard?"

It's a delicate matter, revealing too much will make the other person see your hole cards clearly, revealing too little will not create pressure.

Lin Fei took a sip of the teacup and said slowly: "Capital flow and management experience, these two points are the basis of any successful acquisition, and no company will easily enter an acquisition war without adequate preparation." "

"So, can we think that the Feilong Group is fully prepared?"

The charter king deliberately asked.

"It's never too much to prepare for a big decision that could change the fate of a business. "

Lin Fei finally gave an ambiguous but profound answer.

After hearing this, the charter king knew that it was almost impossible to get Lin Fei to give up this acquisition battle, but he still maintained his surface peace: "It seems that we are all people who understand, and if we understand people, we will talk less nonsense."

Since we are competitors in this acquisition war, I wish both of us the best of luck in achieving our respective goals. "

"Good luck too, Mr. Bao. "

Lin Fei responded with a smile.

The last dessert, a delicate almond tofu, was finally put on the table.

The two of them gently picked it up with chopsticks and put it in their mouths.

At that moment, it was as if all words seemed superfluous.

The charter king put down his chopsticks, cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Lin, I feel very honored to have dinner with you today.

However, I am afraid that in the short term, such opportunities will become less and less. "

Lin Fei responded with a smile: "Mr. Bao, shopping malls are like battlefields, and today's opponents may not be tomorrow's allies."

Our relationship may not be static. "

"You're absolutely right. "

The charter king nodded: "In the business world, sticking to old rules is not necessarily the best choice.

Just like Wheelock & Co., although it has a long history, if it does not have the ability to adapt to the new environment, it will eventually be obsolete. "

"Exactly. "

Lin Fei said indifferently: "Change is the only constant. "

The two looked at each other and smiled again, as if they both understood each other's intentions.

"I also have a small gift, I hope Mr. Lin will like it. "

The charter king turned his head and motioned to the waiter, who immediately brought a delicate mahogany box.

Lin Fei opened the box, and inside was a beautiful jade Buddha statue: "How dare I accept such a valuable gift?"

The charter king insisted: "This is a Pixiu, which means that wealth and fortune are prosperous, and you accept it to give me face." "

Seeing this, Lin Fei accepted it with a smile: "Then I might as well be respectful, thank you Mr. Bao." "

The two looked at each other and smiled, knowing that this was the end of tonight's dinner.

The charter boat king got up and watched Lin Fei slowly walk out of the restaurant.

"Deliver it to the door. "

The charter king said to the accompanying assistant.

The two walked to the limousine together, and the charter king took the initiative to open the door.

"Mr. Lin, although we are about to become competitors, I look forward to the day when we can work together on the same front. "

The charter boat king stood by the car door and said to Lin Fei with a smile.

"The business world is like that, it's full of variables.

Maybe one day, we will really become partners. "

Lin Fei responded.

"Then let's do it first, I wish Shang Qi. "

The charter king smiled and nodded.

"Best wishes. "

Lin Fei got into the car, and the car slowly drove out of Sichuan.
