Chapter 1010: The original promise

What does Tan Zhenhua want to do?
In this world of time and space, no one can let him answer this question frankly.
However, it is now 1986, and the time to reveal the answer to this question is coming soon.
Tan Zhenhua sent away a freighter full of twelve fighters, and bid farewell to Britain and flew to the United States.
On this trip to Britain, he failed to achieve his goal. Until he left, Sir Hawke and Sir Hook did not give him an accurate answer. Whether to join Tan Zhenhua’s plan to develop a new passenger plane or not? He was quite sorry.
However, Tan Zhenhua never put all his hopes and hopes in one place.
Therefore, he is now sitting on the top floor of the Mellon Bank Building on Wall Street in New York, in the most spacious and grandest office.
Skef Mellon's vision is still as sharp as a falcon, but when he faces Tan Zhenhua now, he will slightly reduce the edge-after all, everyone knows that in the hands of this young Chinese man, he also has the same control. With tremendous power, and his skills in using these powers are equally adept. So far, none of the opponents he has blacklisted has had a good ending.
Since his family knows about his own affairs, Skef Mellon knows that he has done something very sorry for his friends recently. Although he also has an unspeakable concealment about that thing, he did it and did it, which is always irresistible. of.
Although if he only considers the interests, he feels that his gains are good after the matter is done, but Mellon does not want to be included in Tan Zhenhua's blacklist for the time being.
Therefore, compared with the previous few meetings between the two, he was quite polite today.
"Eric, why do you have time to come and sit with me today?" He asked tentatively, wondering if Tan Zhenhua came this time because of Cisco's acquisition.
However, Tan Zhenhua didn’t seem to have the intention of entangled in the matter. Instead, he said straightforwardly: "Mr. Mellon, I remember that when I first met with Mr. Dilei, he revealed to me that if I wanted to Rockwell intends to become my partner if I want to build a brand-new airliner. So I came today just to confirm that the original promise is still valid?"
This is a good question.
Countless thoughts suddenly turned in Skef Mellon's mind.
Of course, he still remembers this promise. In fact, it was not so much a promise as it was a condition he asked Tan Zhenhua for.
At that time, the nephew of one of his prodigal families just got in touch with this Chinese kid who had just arrived in the United States not long ago. That nephew wanted to play a self-righteous game of cat and mouse, but he did not expect that he himself It was the mouse that was played by people.
After realizing that the situation was gradually out of control, Skef Mellon remembered to investigate the background of this thorny Chinese kid, only to discover that there was a crocodile hidden under the water!
Therefore, he and Tan Zhenhua had three chapters about the law. After finishing Matthew Mellon’s mess and taking the troubled illegitimate son to Los Angeles to fend for themselves with drugs and prostitutes, he began cooperation with Tan Zhenhua, not only in the financial market many times. It has made a lot of gains and also included Douglas in the bag, turning Rockwell Douglas into one of the most important arms suppliers in the United States. In the aerospace field, it has cooperated with Northrop Grumman and Locke. Sid Martin divides the world.
To be fair, in all these cooperations, Mellon has taken a lot of advantages, including the last time that a large group of Wall Street hot money has entered the Japanese country. Judging from the current record, the Mellon family It also earned a lot of money, so Mellon should have had a close and intimate relationship with Tan Zhenhua-but it is bad in the top families in the United States, and Mellon and Tan Zhenhua are the most familiar with the relationship, so, In the end, he was pushed out to act as the villain. Although Tom Dylay had talked about the acquisition of some shares in Cisco, can Tan Zhenhua still know the relationship between Dylay and himself?
It looks like it is an ordinary venture capital in the capital market. The initial valuation of Cisco, which was valued at only US$20 million, rose 15 times to US$300 million within less than three years of its establishment. In one breath, it attracted strategic investment from many funds, institutions, and individuals. It raised 200 million US dollars in one breath, bringing the total market value of Cisco to 500 million US dollars. It is like the most popular star in Silicon Valley. Tan Zhenhua is the initial Venture capitalists have also received a generous equity premium return of 15 times the initial investment-but in fact, everyone knows that because Tan Zhenhua did not choose to invest in this round, the total value of his equity has risen to 75 million US dollars. However, the proportion dropped to 15%, and even the position of the largest shareholder was lost.
Similar to his situation, there are the Possacks who invented the Cisco router.
Before this round of financing, the husband and wife negotiated to transfer part of the equity to realize part of the wealth, so the shareholding ratio was directly reduced from 40% to 10%, and they received up to 25 million US dollars in cash. Worried.
The happiest part of this is probably Miss Vivian, the CEO of the "Hyperbola" investment company. Although the "Hybola" has limited financial resources and did not participate in this round, because of her successful investment, she was forced to join in. The US$1 million has also increased to US$15 million, which is the first investment that a
hyperbolic
investment company has seen a clear return.
It seems that this is a very profitable transaction for Tan Zhenhua, but Mellon knows that behind this transaction, Tan Zhenhua actually sacrificed great future interests and lost his dominance over Cisco.
Only from this round of financing, the first resolution passed by the company’s board of directors can be seen-the original company CEO Leonardo Posac was removed and became the so-called "general technical adviser", and the new appointment The CEO is Mr. John Morgridge, who has worked at Honeywell for 20 years, served as the vice president of marketing planning, and served as the vice president of Stratus Computer Corporation for 6 years.
Skef Mellon also knew that Tan Zhenhua, who still reserved a seat on the Cisco board of directors, had all abstained from voting for the series of actions taken by the Cisco board of directors.
In a sense, Mellon believes that these abstentions cast by Tan Zhenhua are precisely expressing dissatisfaction with the forcible interventions headed by him.
Tan Zhenhua's way and attitude to question just now and the question itself are full of distrust of Mellon.
So, now, how should I answer?
