Chapter 1012: I don't want to agree or not

After hearing Gilberto's sophistry, the president of the Bank of Texas, who was introduced as a puppet and spokesperson, despised Gilberto as a hypocrite in his heart.

   But there was always a smile on his face and he was relieved in my heart.

   Gilberto's words just now mean that he has compromised or even surrendered.

   The tasks given by so many big guys are almost finished. The president of Bank of Texas suddenly smiled and opened the humidor on the desk.

   cut two cigars with a cigar cutter, lit one by himself and gave one to Gilberto.

   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 won’t need to say more. "

   Gilberto nodded in agreement, and it was probably because Chase Bank and Morgan Stanley came first on the list, making him mistakenly think that this matter was led by Morgan Stanley.

   And for the reason, he had all thoughts about it. Several actions of DEA made the American consortium see that these flour merchants had a lot of cash in their hands.

   Then, in conjunction with Citigroup, they stared at themselves.

   At the same time, Gilberto was very fortunate to think about it. Fortunately, he is also a banker and he has a bank under his name, which made the consortium think that the Cali Group is 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 certainly not as attractive as Medellin’s at least more than 2 billion U.S. dollars per year.

   Now that he is no longer qualified to negotiate, except for the fact that he is holding on and breaking the net, of course Gilberto will think about what he can get.

   Even he faintly felt that perhaps this is a good opportunity to grow the family and truly become a master.

   And it can get rid of Medellin Group's prying eyes on Cali Group, and avoid the two real wars.

"What can I get?"

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

   Gilberto frowned, and the president of Bank of Texas was probably worried about the accident, so he hurriedly continued with a smile, "At least that ‘Benjamin’s list’ is basically useless for 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 U.S., or enter the stock market for investment, or which company you are interested in, we can also help with all the procedures and approvals for shareholding and acquisition.

   Even as long as customers can afford to pay, we will help them solve any judicial issues. "

   Gilberto was overjoyed, but within a few seconds he yelled at the Americans for sucking blood and actually washed his head.

   And he doesn't believe that when he is really out of trouble, the bankers of the United States will continue to help themselves.

   Maybe the first person to kill is myself.

   However, he still understands all the advantages and disadvantages.

  In the future, whether it is the speed and safety of the return of funds from the United States to Colombia, or the maintenance of one's own position in Colombia, it will be one or two levels higher than before.

   Afterwards, Gilberto wanted to wash it out more than ever. He even thought about giving the flour business to his younger brother or the people below, and then immigrating to the U.S. by himself.

   When I get American citizenship and stay in Colombia to do business, my security will be much stronger.

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

   And even if something goes wrong in Colombia, it is much better than being taken to the U.S. to jail for being investigated and tried by the U.S. citizen because of his own U.S. citizenship.

   The issue of signing a contract, even if both parties have this meaning, but for many details of the dispute, it can not be settled in one or two days.

   The two Gilberto brothers are probably worried that if they drag on for too long, the American side will think that they are insincere or have other thoughts.

   After all, the more detailed the discussion, the more beneficial it is to the weaker Kali group.

  The two people know that the biggest trouble for the Cali group now is not only the ‘Benjamin’s list’, but also the various attacks on the Cali group by DEA.

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

   Regarding the 17 million US dollar coffee plantation, it is a pity that it is half sold and half free. Let alone Gilberto, his brother and third master Bakiu have no objection to it.

   On the contrary, if it can be sent out, he 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 I make by selling coffee beans?

   I want to drink coffee and spend money to buy it. Some coffee beans are better than the coffee plantation in Colombia.

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

  I spent my thoughts in the coffee plantation in Colombia, so I might as well just buy the entire hilltop where the Blue Mountain coffee is produced.

   Or simply take a stake in a company like Nestlé.

   Li Changheng is thinking about a coffee plantation here. It is better to want a pasture with an area of ​​10,000 acres~lightnovelpub.net~ but he doesn't want it. Some people are willing to take over.

   Andre Rooke Brown called him the first time, and Li Changheng quickly agreed to help Andre fix the coffee plantation because of the continuous increase in sales of TV sales over the past few months.

   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 lawyer will avoid all troubles, but thank you in the end."

   After a few more casual conversations, Li Changheng hung up, thought for a while, and quickly called David Barlow, the South American director of the CIA.

   After Benjamin Arthur officially took over the position of the head bucket, Lee Chang-Heng and his relationship are not to be said how deep, but at this time it is definitely in the honeymoon period.

   So even if Benjamin's tenure is only two years, the CIA's attitude towards Li Changheng in the past two years will definitely be more intimate and respectful than ever.

   After a phone call, 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 trying to please himself, and it was the same as saying things on the phone or in person, but the feeling of being flattered was really good.

   Four hours later, while sitting with Annie in the small pavilion on the lakeside of Long Island Manor for afternoon tea, the housekeeper Meryl walked over quickly, "SIR, Mr. David Barlow is here, will you see him now?"

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