The next day.

Menaz Home Decoration Company.

Zhuke looked at the aggrieved little John Mernard with a cold face and said, "Menard, I originally thought we would be friends and good friends, but you don't care about this!"

John Mernard Jr. hurriedly said, "Zuke, my friend, you have a misunderstanding of me. I think I need to explain it to you."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ke patted the contract template on the conference table and sneered: "A mere 5.1% of the shares are almost 5% of the shares specified by the China Securities Regulatory Commission. Do you tell me that this is a misunderstanding?"

This number of shares cannot satisfy Zhuke's appetite at all.

If there is only 5.1% stake, will Zhuke still have a say in Menaz Home Decoration Company in the future?

Without the right to speak in Menaz home decoration, how can Zucker evolve it into a window for Wald Pictures' North American distribution channel in the future?

Without sufficient shares, even if Menaz Home Improvement becomes the third largest personal home improvement chain brand in the United States in the future, how much profit can Juke make?

Zhuke is not someone else, but a time traveler. He knows very well that John Mernard Jr. has no idea to list Menaz home decoration on the US stock market. This means that Zhuke really becomes a shareholder of Menaz home decoration, and his shares will inevitably be diluted in the future.

How could Zhuke be willing to do all kinds of disadvantages?

"Man, you really misunderstood me!"

John Mernard Jr. said aggrievedly: "Am I the kind of person who cheats my friends? You should also know that although I am the founder of the company, I am not the only shareholder. How many shares I give you is not my decision, but the decision of the board of directors. I am really powerless."

Suddenly, Zhu Ke had a black thread.

Sure enough...the shopping mall is like a battlefield, and billionaires who can start from scratch are not fuel-efficient lights.

They are all as cunning as foxes!

"Menaz Home Improvement Board, can they limit your rights? Who are you fooling about?!" Zucker sneered.

In the end, the conversation ended unhappily.

Zhuke slams the door and leaves.

The assistant immediately worried: "Boss, will we offend Mr. Wald for this?"

“Haha~”

Upon hearing this, Menard said slyly: "Do you really think he is angry?"

"Isn't it?"

The little assistant showed a shocked expression.

Just now, Zhu Ke suppressed his anger expression, and those angry words, including the last slamming the door and leaving...

Everything about it means that Zhu Ke is very annoyed.

From beginning to end, the little assistant who was adding tea and pouring water on the side was silent.

Merard smiled and said, "Everyone says that Zhuke is a lucky guy, but if you really treat him as a young boy, you will definitely suffer a big loss. Not to mention the distance, just say my old friend Edward Rosky, who just passed by Zhuke. Otherwise, how do you think he took so many shares of Rosky Real Estate with a super low price?"

The little assistant immediately said in shock: "Mr. Rosky's smart man can even come to Mr. Wald's words? No way~"

“That’s the truth.”

After taking a sip of coffee expressionlessly, Merard said calmly: "In June 2000, Zucker invested $200 million to acquire 18% of Roskey Real Estate shares. Now, after more than a year, these 18% shares are now worth $400 million, which has doubled."

The assistant stopped talking.

He felt autistic.

"Grandpa, are you and Mr. Wald friends? You are so cunning between you. This is really, really, really, really incredible?!"

The little assistant sighed.

Bang!

Menard put the coffee cup on the table with some dissatisfaction and made a sound.

"I have said it a few times. You can call me whatever you like at home. Even if you call me by me directly, you have to call me boss in the company."

Menard snorted coldly.

The little assistant nodded quickly and said, "Master...boss, I understand."

I was silent for a few minutes.

Menard said just now: "You are my eldest grandson, but you still have to go a long way. Today I will teach you some truths. First of all, I am not afraid of offending Zhuke, and Zhuke is not afraid of offending me. We both have needs, but we are equal, and this relationship is very delicate."

Have a need on both sides?

The little assistant frowned and said, "Mr. Wald's net worth tens of billions of dollars, will he be worth a mere 5.1% of our company's shares?"

Menard smiled and said, "What he wants is not just shares, but a promotional channel for film and entertainment in the North American market."

Suddenly, the little assistant realized.

......

In the hotel.

"Boss, how about it?" Alexander asked.

Zhuke shook his head and said in a deep voice: "This old guy, Menard, is indeed not simple. He should have guessed the main reason why I want to invest in Menaz Home Decoration."

That's right!

The reason why Zhuke wants to invest in Menaz Home Improvement is that on the one hand, it is indeed optimistic about its future, and it can bring good returns to Zhuke; on the other hand, it is to enhance Wald Pictures' offline promotion and distribution channels in the North American market.

In a word, Zhuke was grabbed.

As Zucker became more and more famous, especially after the Forbes rich list was released in November, Zucker was studied by more people.

Pretend to be stupid;

People are stupid and have a lot of money;

Pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger;

Zhu Ke once used his advantage of being young, and he fooled and deceived many people. These methods were also very effective.

However, when Zucker is thoroughly studied by more and more people, these methods are not working now!

"If this is the case, then boss, you are a little aggrieved. Or you might as well give up Menaz home improvement. Anyway, according to your perspective, there are many businesses that can make money."

Alexander persuaded.

"No!"

Zhuke shook his head and sighed: "Everyone is an adult, so how can you feel wronged or not? As long as you can make money, nothing will be a problem."

The shopping mall is like a battlefield, how can there be an invincible god of war?!

Zhuke doesn't always find a bargain, even if he has the advantage of being foresighted.

"hehe!"

Suddenly, Zhuke laughed and said, "It turns out that there is an old man in the family who is like a treasure. Since entering 2000 years, I have been used to being smooth sailing. I didn't realize that I was a little drifty. This time I will take it as a lesson!"

After being held back, Zhu Ke is no longer annoyed now.

Undoubtedly, this setback will make Zhuke grow up more quickly.

Zhuke waved: "Alexander, you ask the lawyer to verify the contract and we will sign the contract tomorrow."

“Yes, boss!”

At this moment, after clarifying the thoughts, Zhu Ke only felt his whole body clear.

......

The next day.

Zhuke came to Menaz home decoration again, and after a very short exchange, he signed the contract.

Zhuke invested US$400 million to acquire 5.1% of Menaz Home Improvement shares and became a director of the company's board of directors.

"Mernald, you've put me on this time!" Zhuke said as he shook hands with him.

John Mernard, a young man, smiled embarrassedly and said apologetically: "The mall is like a battlefield. I don't have the huge wealth of yours. I have to be careful. I hope that some small means will not affect our friendship."

"certainly."

Zhu Ke said generously: "Business is business, and personal relationships are personal relationships. If I can't even understand this principle, I will not have much development in the future."

If you make a mistake, you must admit it and be beaten to stand attentive.

Zhuke is also a master who can take it and let it go.

Besides, Zhu Ke did not lose money when he invested in Menaz home improvement, but he just made less money.
