Spring Thunder Chapter 0249: Fight between Father-in-law and Son-in-law
Before a dime was received, Nan Yi had already figured out how to spend it and assigned the task. This was a way for him to push himself, to brag about it first, and then to implement it down to earth.
Nan Yi and Scarlett flew to Nevada, with Scarlett in the lead and Nan Yi as the wingman, where they distributed 4% of Scarlett Gold Mine Company's shares. Then they flew to Washington and distributed another 4% of the shares.
The last 2% of shares were scattered across New York State.
He gave away 10% of the shares and got back only 500 million US dollars, which was a solid favor.
Then, the New York Times published the news that Scarlett Gold Mining Company had discovered a rich gold mine with huge reserves.
The news took up a quarter of the page. It not only told the story of the gold mine in detail, but also gave a brief introduction to who Scarlett was and explained the shareholder structure of Scarlett's company in detail.
There is such a paragraph in the news: "The name of Scarlett Gold Mining Company directly points out that this company is led by Scarlett Taylor. Although she only has 10% of the shares, Pan American Investment, the largest shareholder of Scarlett Company, is also registered under her name;
This reporter did not find out the shareholder structure of Pan American Investment Holdings, and did not know whether the company's shares were held by Scarlett Taylor alone, but her personal 10% stake was estimated to be worth no less than 2 billion US dollars.
If Pan American Investments is wholly owned by her alone, Scarlett Taylor's wealth will far surpass Daniel Ludwig [the richest man in the United States in 1982].
Since 1776, generations of Chinese people have firmly believed that as long as they work hard, they can get a better life. Scarlett Taylor's success once again proves the greatness of the Chinese dream..."
…
Atlanta, Fulton County, Georgia.
Atlanta is home to the top ten wealthiest people in the United States. There are many wealthy people with a net worth of more than 10 million US dollars living here. In addition to the top 1% of the pyramid, nearly 30 .
Coca-Cola, Home Depot, Delta Airlines, UPS, and Holiday Inn are all headquartered in Atlanta.
The Cox family's home is in the Dracula area in northern Atlanta, which is a wealthy area and also a white community.
A French-style castle manor, the garden is not big, Nan Yi estimated that it is about 60 acres, and the house is not big either, with only two floors and about twenty rooms.
If the Cox family's house were to be sold, the price would not exceed 1 million US dollars.
In our country today, housing prices are not that expensive. Even the south loft of Columbus Apartment, located in the most valuable central area of a first-tier city, costs just over one million U.S. dollars, less than one hundred and fifty thousand.
Nan Yi was puzzled. Scarlett spent nearly 20 million to build a house. Did she want to build the White House?
After getting off the car next to a fountain, Nan Yi saw a group of people waiting there thirty meters away from them.
Following Scarlett, I took two quick steps and came to the edge of the crowd.
"Adam, let me introduce you. This is my grandmother Patricia, whose Chinese name is Zhou Shuping."
"Hello, Ms. Zhou."
Nan Yi took off the Republic of China student hat on his head and bowed slightly to Zhou Shuping.
After knowing that Scarlett's grandmother came from China in the 1930s, Nan Yi specially prepared a student hat from the Republic of China. This hat was easy for him to find, and he catered to Scarlett's taste and gave her a gift for meeting her in the Republic of China.
"He is dignified, gentle and elegant, with the demeanor of a gentleman. Not bad." Zhou Shuping nodded and said.
The Wu dialect has a hint of Ningpo accent in it, and most of them are new Shanghainese from Jiangsu Province. The word "gentleman" is dragged out, and the words are not in line with the heart, and I guess there is still a "fake" in the stomach that has not been spit out.
These old ladies don't look like good people!
"This is my dad, Alexander George Taylor."
"Hello, Mr. Taylor."
He smiled, nodded slightly, and prepared to extend his right hand.
"Hello, Adam, welcome to Cocos Manor." Alexander stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Nan Yi.
"This is Georgia Parker Taylor."
Scarlett did not introduce Georgia's identity, but this was her stepmother.
"Hello, Mrs. Taylor."
"Hello, Adam."
Georgia smiled reservedly, and in her reserve there was a hint of satisfaction hidden well.
"My brother, Alexander William Taylor."
"Hello, William."
"Hello, Adam."
There was a hint of stiffness in William's politeness, and his face still retained a youthful shyness.
After the welcoming ceremony, Alexander led everyone inside and went directly to the reception room.
Everyone sat apart and didn't talk about the weather. Alexander first talked about his impression of China. Of course, he only talked about the good side. It was not a debate. It was similar , which was all nonsense.
After Alexander finished speaking, it was Nan Yi's turn to express his good impression of the Kingdom of Qin and Atlanta, and then praised the beauty of the manor. He said a lot, but it could be summed up in two words - eat.
Alexander then asked Nan Yi what sports he was interested in. Nan Yi arranged the sentences one, two, three, four, five, and Alexander picked out one as his common hobby, and then they talked about this hobby in detail.
"#&＊+＊￥＊～"
"&#)—@..."
The two of them were talking with great interest, with smiles on their faces. They seemed to be having a great time, but in fact they were already muttering in their hearts, "Why doesn't this future father-in-law/son-in-law take the initiative to get to the point?"
If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move either. I want to compete in energy cultivation, right? Come, let's continue the conversation.
After talking about Alexander's Havana cigar, the old man finally couldn't hold it anymore.
"Adam, let's go to the study and talk."
"Yes, Mr. Taylor."
The two men stood up and moved their positions.
Sitting down in the study, Alexander took out a cigar cutter, cut off the mouthpiece of the cigar, lit a special match to toast the cigar, took out a jet lighter to light the cigar, and took two puffs.
"Did you release the news in the newspaper on purpose?"
"Yes."
"Scarlett has already told me your general idea. I am very grateful that you gave the Cox family a discount. Once the share transfer contract is signed, the first installment of 500 million US dollars will be paid to you."
"He added 100 million to show his goodwill to me..."
Nan Yi thought about it and quickly thought of a possibility.
"I am very interested in your Pan American Investment Holdings. If possible, Cocos Enterprises would like to invest."
"I am very grateful for Mr. Taylor's affirmation of me. In my plan, Pan American Investment Holdings originally wanted to attract shareholders. If Cox Enterprises wants to invest, I certainly welcome it.
However, I hope this matter can be slowed down a bit. By the middle or end of next year, when Pan American’s valuation can be higher, we can sit down and talk.”
“What if I am willing to invest at a valuation of 30 billion?”
"Not enough. 30 billion is not enough for me. If Mr. Taylor is only interested in the gold mine, Scarlett and I can give Cocos Enterprises original shares in our new gold mining company."
" I am interested in the gold mine, but I am more interested in you. Compared to the gold mining company, I would rather invest in Pan American."
"There's nothing you can do. You can only wait."
With just a shovel, the gold mine was given to the Cox family. Nan Yi did it for Scarlett's sake, and his attitude was so sincere that he took the initiative to "subsidize her family" on behalf of his wife without waiting for her permission.
"Adam, I don't think you understand the importance of the Cox family to you." Seeing that Nan Yi's body was too slippery, Alexander tore off the window paper and wrapped him up.
"Mr. Taylor, of course I know. I love Scarlett very much, and the Cocos family is also her family. I love Scarlett and love her too. Next year, when Cocos Enterprises acquires a stake in Pan American, I will still give her huge discounts and concessions."
Alexander really wanted to ask how huge this "huge" was, but the shameless boy opposite him actually brought up his love with Scarlett. After all, she was his daughter, and he had to maintain the image of a loving father.
"Okay, we'll talk about it next year."
Alexander decided to put this matter aside for the time being.
