Chapter 806 Cooperation with the Gambino Family (4100+ chapters, please subscribe~)

"What are they doing?"

At this time, Zhou Huimin also noticed that Wu Jianye was observing the situation at the next table. Although the other party seemed to be Chinese, he couldn't understand what he was saying!

Wu Jianye chuckled, understanding Zhou Huimin's pain.

Put it this way!

Foreigners may be able to learn Chinese, but it is really difficult to understand Lucheng dialect.

Lucheng dialect has also been rated as one of the most difficult languages ​​in the world to learn, and there are so many local dialects in Lucheng. Wu Jianye once met and chatted with a few Lucheng people. If it is a pure Lucheng city In fact, it is relatively easy to understand. What I am most afraid of is the Lucheng dialect in the village below Lucheng, which is difficult to understand.

In some cases, there are even differences between the words at the head of the village and those at the end of the village.

As a native of Xiangjiang, Zhou Huimin doesn't even speak Mandarin well, let alone Lucheng dialect, so the Lucheng dialect spoken by Lao Li and the others is not stingy in Zhou Huimin's ears.

"They're here," Wu Jianye explained to Zhou Huimin softly the behavior of Lao Li and the others.

At this time, A Ling came over with a cup in her hand, with some folded papers in it.

"This is?" Zhou Huimin became more curious about this group of people after hearing Wu Jianye's narration.

Wu Jianye said: "I don't know too well, let's take a look!"

At this time, the two seemed to be listening to the corner, and became more and more curious about the situation at the next table. Only Este Gambino next to him seemed a little unclear.

Soon Lao Li gave the answer, first he said to Xiao Fan: "Xiao Fan, the interest will be calculated when repaying this money." Then he looked at several other people and said: "As for the interest, we will follow the old Method?"

"Old way, old way!" The rest of the people also agreed.

As for what the old method is, it is in the glass that A Ling brought.

"Draw lots!" After speaking, Lao Li picked up the glass and put it in the middle of the dining table.

Wu Jianye saw the people at the dinner table, and began to take out the written note inside.

"Two years, no interest!"

"Five years, 5.00% interest!"

"Three years, three percent interest!"

"One year, no interest!"

"Four years, four percent interest!"

"I'll pay it back in six years, with an interest of [-]%!"

Six people, six ways to pay back the money, it was very interesting. Xiao Fan, who had been standing all the time, had tears in his eyes and said, "I bow to my brothers and sisters!"

Sincerely, even Wu Jianye was a little moved by what he saw at this time.

Sometimes this is indeed the case. There are always more solutions than difficulties, especially those entrepreneurs who are working alone abroad. They are not familiar with the place of life. Only by being together can they really start their own businesses. In this process, these fellow villagers and Chinese people around me are also indispensable!

"Mister, I'm sorry, I made you laugh!" At this time, Lao Li also noticed Wu Jianye, and said to Wu Jianye with a smile: "This is a few of us from Lucheng. Money, do some small business!"

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm a little shocked by your situation, I didn't expect everyone to be so united outside!"

"Haha, do you rely on friends when you go out? Everyone here is a stranger. If you can help each other, let's help!" Lao Li laughed.

Wu Jianye asked curiously: "Then, have you ever thought about going to the bank for a loan?"

Lao Li smiled wryly, and said: "It's not that easy, the people here are very unfriendly to our arrival, thinking that we Huaxia people have robbed their business and jobs, so some banks, in order to take care of the emotions of the local people, Don’t give us a loan at all, even if there are some banks that provide loans, the conditions are very harsh, in a situation like Xiao Fan’s, it is impossible to get a loan!”

Wu Jianye nodded, expressing his understanding, and then asked: "If there is a bank here that specializes in serving us Huaxia people, the loan is not so troublesome, as long as everyone makes a guarantee for each other, you can get a loan." With a certain amount of funds, do you think such a bank has any prospects in Italy?"

Lao Li showed a smile: "If there is such a bank, it would be great. I dare not tell others, but we Lucheng people will definitely not have that kind of loan default. The first and most important thing for everyone to come out is integrity. If you don't even have integrity, then this person will have no way to hang out in this circle!"

Wu Jianye nodded, said nothing more, chatted casually with Lao Li, and then started chatting with Esther Gambino.

As for what Lao Li said, Wu Jianye believed it, but he also knew that as long as there is such a system, there will definitely be non-performing loans, but knowing that most of them are good, it is easier to succeed.

When Esther Gambino was about to leave when he returned to the hotel, Wu Jianye said with a smile.

"Esther, are you interested in negotiating a business?"

Esther's face brightened, and he said, "What business?"

Wu Jianye smiled, glanced at the people coming and going in the lobby of the hotel, and said, "Go to the room and talk!"

Esther smiled and said, "Okay!"

The three of them returned to the hotel room. Zhou Huimin bought them two glasses of warm water, and then returned to the bedroom, not participating in Wu Jianye's business negotiations.

Esther looked at Zhou Huimin's actions and sighed in her heart, she definitely couldn't do this by herself.

"Ahem!" Wu Jianye said straight to the point: "I believe the Gambino family must have done some investigations on me!"

Este did not deny it, otherwise the Gambino family, the underground kings of Italy, would not be so ardent towards a director.

"You should know that I own a bank in Xiangjiang, and now this bank is planning to develop its own business in Europe, but you also know that some European countries have regulations on banks."

In fact, Wu Jianye’s meaning is very clear. Although Standard Chartered Bank has some business in Europe, but with the relocation of Xiangjiang, some European countries are now hostile to the entry of Standard Chartered Bank, and Italy has always been Standard Chartered Bank. The short board of the bank, after seeing Lao Li and others in the restaurant today, Wu Jianye suddenly felt that he had found a breakthrough point.

To put it simply, Este Gambino came forward to acquire a local Italian bank, and then Standard Chartered Bank became a shareholder. This roundabout development routine is most suitable for Standard Chartered Bank.

And Wu Jianye is not worried that Este will disagree with Wu Jianye's proposal. After all, it is not the 70s and [-]s. Even in Italy, there are many restrictions on families like Gambino. Now almost all Italians Families in the underworld are looking to launder their business, and there's no better industry than banking.

But Wu Jianye did not intend to let the Gambino family join in.
"Esther, as I said before, I only have you as a friend in the Gambino family, just like you have investigated my background, I also know something about the Gambino family, first of all, I must make it clear, you The cooperation between me, I don't want to involve the Gambino family, or it can be said that the Gambino family can be the force behind you, but it must not appear in the management of the joint venture bank. At the same time, the most important point is that This bank must be clean, and no unexplainable funds can appear!"

In any case, the Gambino family's reputation is not very good. If their overall strength participates in this cooperation, then Wu Jianye will be very suspicious of the control here.

As expected, Esther Gambino did not have any objection to Wu Jianye's suggestion, and was even very excited, but he did not hide anything, saying: "It is impossible to do this by relying on my own strength." , and my family will not allow me to handle this matter alone in the name of the family. If possible, our Gambino family can set up a foundation to participate in this cooperation in the form of a foundation. Of course Now, this foundation needs your help, Wu, so I can take charge of this foundation!"

In a family like Gambino, or in a large family like the whole world, there is no way for any individual to break away from the whole family to do their own things.

In TV dramas and novels, those who break away from the control of the family for the sake of beauty, mostly serve readers and audiences. In reality, whether you admit it or not, what you represent outside is your own family.

Esther Gambino is very aware of this, and she is even more aware that everything she has now is actually given by her family.

Now that he has enjoyed the glory of the family, he will naturally bear other influences brought by the family.

But this does not mean that Esther has no ideas of her own. For example, before, she hoped that Wu Jianye would become her ally outside the family, which would help improve her prestige in the family. Now that Wu Jianye proposed this cooperation, she naturally I very much hope it will be successful.

Because if it is really as what Wu Jianye said, if the cooperation in this matter is successful, then she will become the representative of the Gambino family in this bank, and by then, the funds in her hands will also be Become a very important bargaining chip for yourself.

She can even use this to take out her own business under the Gambino family and concentrate on doing banking business. Maybe ten or twenty years later, she may become a famous banker!

Wu Jianye thought for a while and said, "Yes, but there is another thing that you must be clear about, that is, the newly established bank, absolutely, absolutely must not have any connection with your family's underground business and funds!"

Esther smiled slightly, and said, "It's natural, Wu, don't underestimate our family's determination to cleanse the family!"

Wu Jianye nodded, and said: "Okay, after you go back, you can talk to old Gambino about this matter, if you have an idea to cooperate, I will let the Standard Chartered Bank of Xiangjiang send someone to discuss cooperation with you of!"

Esther smiled and said, "Okay, I hope we will not only be friends, but also partners in the future!"

Wu Jianye: "Of course!"

Next, Wu Jianye and Este discussed the equity allocation of the new bank, and finally decided, because the Standard Chartered Bank is responsible for the funds of this cooperation, and the Gambino family is responsible for all the cooperation in Italy. relationship and the first step in acquiring a bank.

The equity distribution between the two parties is that Standard Chartered Bank holds 65% of the shares, and the Gambino family holds 35% of the shares.

Of course, this is only the preliminary plan of Wu Jianye and Esther. If the old Gambino really has an idea to promote this cooperation, then the distribution of equity will definitely become the focus of debate.

After sending Esther away, Wu Jianye returned to the bedroom and saw Zhou Huimin sitting on the bed watching TV, which was also the HBO TV series "The Sopranos".

"The Sopranos" has been filmed, and once it aired on HBO, it immediately caused a great sensation. Movie-like TV dramas, which are still rare in this era, coupled with its bold story content, immediately became a hit. The hit TV series became popular all over Europe and America.

This also made HBO famous in the first battle, and it has become a force that cannot be ignored among North American pay channels. At this time, Wu Jianye no longer needs to remind, HBO itself has already started the production of TV series of the same scale.

This is many years earlier than the other time and space.

"The scale of this TV series is too big, so it can only be shown in Europe and the United States!" Zhou Huimin said. She doesn't like the TV series "The Sopranos" very much. This is also related to the subject matter, but she wants to see it in Italy. English programming is not easy, and she doesn't understand Italian, so she had to choose to watch HBO!
Wu Jianye chuckled, and said, "HBO's future route will almost be of this type!"

Zhou Huimin didn't think much about it either. Now that Wu Jianye was back, he naturally stopped watching TV and chatted with Wu Jianye, but he didn't ask Wu Jianye about the negotiation just now.

She cares less about business matters than Zhu Zhuo.

After chatting for a while, the two got up to find He Qing and others, who were going to do a program on an Italian TV station.

And Esther has also returned to the Gambino family.

"Father, Wu Jianye did not agree to our family's invitation today." Esther said.

Esther's brother next to him said dissatisfiedly, "I didn't attend our family's invitation, but went to have lunch with you?"

"Are you following me?" Esther glanced at his brother dissatisfied.

"Hmph, there's nothing in Italy that our Gambino family doesn't know about!"

"Really, do you know what I talked about with Wu Jianye?" Esther said tit for tat.

"I..." Esther's brother glanced at Esther angrily, and his people just followed them from a distance, knowing that they went to a Chinese restaurant, but they really didn't know what they said, and his people also reported when they came back Give him another piece of news, that is, behind Wu Jianye, there has been a protection team secretly protecting Wu Jianye. According to the report, the armed forces of this team are amazing.

"Okay, stop arguing, Esther, you are my favorite daughter, I know you have always been a very thoughtful girl, okay, tell us now, you and the rich man in the East What did you talk about?" Old Gambino said hoarsely.
