The president of the Bank of Texas, who was pushed out as a puppet and spokesperson, despised Gilberto as a hypocrite after hearing Gilberto's sophistry.

But with a smile on his face, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

What Gilberto said just now means that he has compromised and even surrendered.

The tasks entrusted by so many bosses were finally almost completed. The president of the Bank of Texas suddenly smiled and opened the cigar box on the desk.

After cutting two cigars with cigar cutters, he lit one for Gilberto himself.

Cai said with a smile while smoking a cigar, "Mr. Rodriguez, you should be glad that your choice is right.

Otherwise, the three consortiums on the east coast and the south of the United States are eyeing you at the same time, so I don't need to say more about the result. "

Gilberto nodded resignedly, and it was probably because Chase Bank and Morgan Stanley were ranked first on the list, which made him mistakenly think that the matter was led by Morgan Stanley.

And the reason is that he imagined that the DEA's several actions made the consortia in the United States see that they, the flour merchants, had a lot of cash in their hands.

Only then did they join forces with Citigroup to focus on themselves.

At the same time, Gilberto was also very grateful to think that he was also a banker and had a bank under his name, which made those consortiums think that the Cali Group was far more suitable as a partner than the Medellin Group.

Otherwise, the net profit of only 700 to 800 million U.S. dollars per year on my side is definitely not as attractive as Medellin's annual net profit of at least 2 billion U.S. dollars.

Now that he is no longer qualified to negotiate except for the dead end and the dead end, Gilberto will of course think about what he can get.

He even faintly felt that maybe this was a good opportunity to strengthen the family and truly become a master.

Moreover, it can also get rid of the peeping of the Medellin Group on the Cali Group, and prevent the two companies from actually going to war.

"What can I get?"

"Sorry, this will have to wait until the contract is signed."

Gilberto frowned immediately, and the president of the Bank of Texas was probably worried about accidents, so he continued with a busy smile, "At least that 'Benjamin's List' basically has no effect on you.

And the bank under my name is very willing to cooperate with customers like you and solve the trouble of transferring funds for you.

At the same time, if you want to buy real estate in the United States, or invest in the stock market, or which company you fancy, we can also help you with all the procedures and approvals for shareholding and acquisition.

We'll even take care of any legal issues our customers have, as long as they can afford it. "

Gilberto was overjoyed, but within a few seconds he scolded the American for sucking blood and washing his head.

And he didn't believe that the bankers in the United States would continue to help him when he was in trouble.

Maybe the first one to silence him is himself.

However, he still understands that there are advantages and disadvantages.

In the future, whether it is the speed and security of returning funds from the United States to Colombia, or maintaining its position in Colombia, it will be one or two levels higher than before.

Later, Gilberto wanted to cleanse himself more than ever. He even thought about handing over the flour business to his younger brother or the people below, and then immigrated to the United States by himself.

After obtaining American citizenship and then staying in Colombia to do business, the security will be much, much stronger.

But when he thought of the strength and power of the US tax department, and the tax rate of at least 40%, he began to hesitate again.

And even if something happened in Colombia, it would be much better than being forced to go to jail in the United States because of his American nationality and being given the reason for investigation and trial by the Americans.

------

The issue of signing, even if both parties have this intention, can't be settled in a day or two for the disputes over many details.

The two Gilberto brothers were probably worried that if their side dragged on for too long, the American side would think they were insincere or had other intentions.

After all, the more detailed the discussion, the more beneficial it is for the weaker Cali Group.

In addition, the two are very clear that the biggest trouble for the Cali Group now is not only the 'Benjamin List', but also various blows to the Cali Group by the DEA.

So during the negotiations, Gilberto used an offshore island company as a cover, intending to sell a 700-acre specialty coffee garden in the Andes Mountains of the Cali Group to a big boss in the United States at half price.

For a coffee farm worth 17 million US dollars, it is a pity to sell half and give half away, not to mention Gilberto, even his younger brother and the third master Baqiu have no objection.

Instead, I felt that if I could really send it out, I might get more rewards in other ways.

When the news reached Li Changheng's ears, he was not interested at all.

How much money can you make selling coffee beans?

If you want to drink coffee and spend money, there are better coffee beans than that coffee plantation in Colombia.

Blue Mountain coffee is famous, but few people know that the main source of income for the coffee planters in the Blue Mountain region of Jamaica, where this coffee is located, is instead the second-tier brand of coffee beans.

Instead of spending all my time on the coffee garden in Colombia, I might as well just buy the entire mountain where the Blue Mountain coffee is produced.

Or simply take a stake in companies like Nestle.

Li Changheng wanted a coffee plantation instead of a ranch with an area of ​​tens of thousands of acres, but he didn't want it, and some people were willing to take it over.

Andre Rockfeller called him immediately, and Li Changheng quickly agreed to help Andre settle the coffee garden because of the continuous increase in sales in the past few months due to TV sales.

At the same time, he also reminded him that it is best to use a company that has nothing to do with him in name as a cover for the acquisition.

"Don't worry, Henry, my family's lawyer will avoid all troubles, but in the end I would like to thank you."

Chatted a few more casually~lightnovelpub.net~ Li Changheng hung up the phone, thought for a while, and quickly called David Barlow, the South American director of the CIA.

Ever since Benjamin Arthur officially took over the head position, the relationship between Li Changheng and him is not to say how deep, but it must be in the honeymoon period at this time.

So even though Benjamin's tenure is only two years, the CIA's attitude towards Li Changheng during these two years will definitely be more intimate and respectful than before.

A phone call was made, and David Barlow quickly took the initiative to say that he would rush to New York to meet him as soon as possible.

Of course Li Changheng understood that the fat man was flattering him, and it didn't make any difference whether it was said on the phone or in person, but the feeling of being flattered was really good.

Four hours later, when I was sitting with Annie in the afternoon tea at the small pavilion by the lake in the Long Island Manor, Meryl's housekeeper walked over quickly, "SIR, Mr. David Barlow is here, do you want to see him now?"

Before Li Changheng could speak, Annie took the initiative to say, "Honey, it's already 5 o'clock, I'll go to the kitchen to see what's prepared for dinner."
