April 25.

On this day, Zucker sent representatives to Seattle.

"Welcome! Welcome!"

"I am Mondo Gusta, Deputy Mayor of Seattle, and welcome Mr. Liszt to Seattle."

Mondo Gusta, male, 43 years old, has served as a member of the Seattle City Council, a member of the Washington State Council, director of the Seattle Mayor's Office and other positions. He is currently the deputy mayor of Seattle and is in charge of economic development.

"You're welcome, Mr. Gusta. If nothing unexpected happens, I hope this is our last negotiation!" said Baggio Liszt.

As one of the members of the Zucker think tank, he was once the vice president of the Insurance Company of Aviva Federation, the United Kingdom, and is good at collecting information. Similarly, he is also extremely good at negotiating.

Gusta said solemnly: "Of course, I also hope that we can reach an agreement in this negotiation."

Liszt smiled and said, "I wish us a happy cooperation."

"Well, happy cooperation!" Deputy Mayor Gusta said firmly.

Soon...there were formal negotiations on the construction of the science and technology industrial park, and the representatives of the local government in Seattle and Zhu Ke.

negotiation!

In fact, since June 1999, when Zucker visited Seattle, he decided to invest here. Well, he invested a lot of money, so he kept sending people to negotiate with the local government.

However, in bank loans, loan interest, local enterprise taxes, preferential policies, public transportation construction, resettlement of migrant residents...

There are differences between the two sides on these issues.

Especially the bank loan issues!

With the outbreak of the Internet bubble, a large number of companies went bankrupt, implicating many banks, including bad debts, bad debts and dead debts, and banks are short of money.

"Mr. Gusta, many local banks in Seattle have close ties with your government. With your guarantee, plus the financial resources of my boss, Mr. Juke Wald, how can there be arrears?"

"The $800 million bank loan is no problem for local banks in Seattle."

Upon hearing this, Gusta immediately smiled bitterly.

Several representatives of the banking industry who accompanied Gusta as the negotiating team also twitched slightly.

A loan of $800 million is lightweight.

However, now no one knows that the economy is in a downturn and the US dollar continues to depreciate. Zhuke wants to borrow a lot of money from the bank. To put it bluntly, he wants to take advantage of the bank.

After exchanging opinions from several bank representatives, Gusta replied: "Mr. Lister, the bank can lend you $800 million in loans to your company, but the annual repayment interest must reach 6.3%.

Just finished speaking.

Liste was immediately angry.

"You are so insincere!"

"According to the Banking Act currently implemented in Seattle, the annual repayment interest for 5 to 7 years is 6.1%. Our boss loaned you $800 million, not only without any discount, but it was 0.2% higher?!"

Liszt talked eroticly, his face filled with anger.

The team members who accompanied him were also very stanced to leave at a disagreement. At the moment of the downturn in the U.S. economy, Zhuke's team really didn't worry about these banks.

Gusta: "......"

Bank representatives: “…….”

At this critical moment, Liszt threw out a major bait.

"On the basis of the total investment of 3 billion in science and technology parks, an additional $1 billion will be added to a total investment of $4 billion."

"At the same time, from 2000 to 2002, the total investment in the first phase will not be less than US$2 billion!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Seattle negotiating team immediately knelt down.

Especially Seattle Deputy Mayor Gusta, he was so excited that he was extremely excited.

How many jobs will this bring about a technology park with a total investment of US$4 billion, and how much economic benefits will it bring?

All of these are achievements!

So Gusta compromised~

The bank has nothing to say.

"800 million US dollars in bank loan, 4.5% annual repayment interest!"

——This is the final decision.

At the same time, on issues such as local corporate taxation, preferential policies, public transportation construction, etc., Bajo Lister also won the greatest interests for Zhuke.

The science and technology park, which covers an area of ​​about 900 acres (about 5,400 acres), finally reached an agreement today after nearly 10 months of negotiations and negotiations.

.........

The total investment in the first phase of the science and technology park is as high as US$2 billion!

The bank borrowed $800 million, which means that Zucker will also take out $1.2 billion in cash.

On this issue, Zucker exchanged views with the think tank.

"If I take the project of the Science and Technology Park to mortgage it, can I borrow a large amount of funds from other banks?" Zhu Ke asked.

Obviously, Zhu Ke planned to make money.

However, Zucker's idea was rejected by members of the think tank.

On the phone, Little Bajo List shook his head and said, "Boss, if your project is a housing real estate or commercial real estate project, I can lend you no less than 2 billion US dollars in cash from the bank within three days. Unfortunately, it is not possible in the technology park!"

Private financial advisor Ms. Anna also echoed: "The content of Internet stocks and technology stocks has dropped sharply. In today's environment, banks are not afraid to lend money like this."

"Well?"

Zhuke was choked.

It is obviously not applicable to making money from nothing.

...........

The first science and technology park agreement with a total price of US$4 billion was officially signed and reached, and the two sides left and announced this "shocking" news.

Suddenly, there was a lot of joy in Seattle!

"Mr. Wald was really raining in time!" a middle-aged woman sighed.

"That's right. Now the economy across the United States is declining, and all walks of life are seriously damaged. Especially our proud Amazon company in Seattle, its market value has plummeted." A middle school teacher sighed.

After the Internet bubble broke out, as many as 100 local companies in Seattle went bankrupt, with an unemployed population of up to 14,000.

The huge unemployed population will undoubtedly cause huge social pressure on the local economy, politics, public security and other aspects of Seattle.

But now it's different!

Zhuke's local investment in Seattle can solve the problem of reemployment of at least 3,000 people and greatly alleviate local pressure.

Seattle Government;

Seattle City Council;

state government, state legislature;

Even local corporate alliances, charities, and trade unions in various industries all gave high praise and praise for Zucker's participation in Seattle investment.

【Conscientious Entrepreneur】

This is the new title that Zhu Ke has won after the titles of "crawling guy", "stingy man", "genius director", "television little emperor", and "venture investment little king".

Moreover, the title of refutation is not accepted!

If someone now expresses different opinions or refutes this title, then from the Seattle government to the 4 million people in Seattle can spray you to death with saliva!!!

Investment and investment in building science and technology parks are undoubtedly a project with slow results, long cycles, and difficult to make a profit. Even within 10 years, Zhuke will find it difficult to recover this investment, but... it can greatly enrich Zhuke's industry and strengthen Zhuke's background, making those cunning people who want to swallow Zhuke's assets dare not talk about it.
Chapter completed!
