Chapter 92: The Picture Is Big
"I ......"
Ferruccio Lamborghini hesitated, he wanted to take this opportunity to ask for a high price, but he had no choice but to fall into the eyes of the other party just now in embarrassment and despair, and the other party knew Lamborghini's current predicament very well, and it seemed that it was impossible to ask for a high price.
Since it's impossible to ask for a high price, let's quote a slightly higher price than at home.
"$3 million," Ferruccio Lamborghini bit his lip: "$3 million, you can sell 10% of Lamborghini's shares to you." ”
Chen Geng smiled: "$3 million? Are you sure?"
Chrysler Cars bought the Lamborghini car that went bankrupt again in 1987, when Chrysler spent $25 million, which is the price almost ten years later, and it is also the decade with the worst price inflation, why is the current Lamborghini worth $30 million?
Although he was a little flustered by Chen Geng's smile, Ferruccio Lamborghini still nodded: "Yes, I'm sure," after a pause, he added: "I can sell you up to 20% of the shares, and you can't interfere in the operation and management of the company, you can only pay dividends." ”
"Let's not say whether I will agree, you mean that I spent a huge sum of 6 million US dollars, and I didn't get anything except the name of a 'shareholder of Lamborghini Automobili'?" Looking at Ferruccio Lamborghini, Chen Geng sighed and shook his head: "Mr. Lamborghini, I know why investors and banks are reluctant to cooperate with you. ”
Ferruccio Lamborghini's face was flushed!
According to his temperament of going to work with Ferrari when he didn't agree with him, Ferruccio Lamborghini, who was so scared by Chen Geng, had already thrown his sleeves and left: How old are you, dare to make a face with me? ! Do you know that when Lao Tzu was Niu X, you didn't know where to pee and play with mud.
But now, he can't go!
At that time, Ferruccio Lamborghini, there was a Lamborghini tractor company under his command, and he played with Enzo Ferrari with a Lamborghini sports car, which was just out of character, but now it doesn't work, and now he has nothing else in his hands except Lamborghini cars, if even Lamborghini cars lose, then he really loses without leggings, and people who don't even have bottoms, what qualifications do they have to play character?
"This ......" Ferruccio Lamborghini gritted his teeth: "If it was reasonable advice, of course I would have listened to it......"
Chen Geng interrupted him unceremoniously: "Can this be understood as 'even if it is a reasonable suggestion, but if you think it is unreasonable, you will not consider it?'"
"......" Ferruccio Lamborghini didn't speak, it was a tacit acquiescence, that's what he thought in his heart.
Chen Geng said slowly: "2 million US dollars, 20% of the shares ......"
"What are you kidding?!" Before Chen Geng's words were finished, Ferruccio Lamborghini became angry: "20% of the shares of Lamborghini cars are only worth 2 million US dollars?! Let me tell you, the brand value of Lamborghini alone is not less than 200 million US dollars......
"Although I don't think Lamborghini's brand is worth 200 million, 30 million US dollars should still be worth it," Chen Geng nodded happily, but before Ferruccio Lamborghini could speak, Chen Geng's tone changed, and he blocked the other party with one sentence: "But who will give you such a high offer now?"
“......”
Ferruccio Lamborghini opened his mouth, but he was speechless: yes, when you are financially good, intangible assets can be exchanged for money, but now...... Although it can also be exchanged for money, it is purely a dream to want to exchange it for money at the market price.
"Of course, I also understand your feelings, 2 million US dollars, I promise not to interfere in the company's operation within 2 years," Chen Geng took the initiative to take a step back: "But if Lamborghini is under your leadership, the business situation has not been significantly improved in two years......
If you give you two years and give you $2 million, if you still make a mess of the company, it only means that you are not the right person to run a company.
Chen Geng expressed his meaning very clearly, Ferruccio Lamborghini asked himself, and also felt that Chen Geng's words were powerful, if he was a professional manager with a high salary, but he could not make the company's situation improve in two years, the company's boss would have kicked him away.
The most important thing is that if he can't help Lamborghini find investors or borrowers as soon as possible, at least six months, at most a year, Lamborghini will go bankrupt! As the founder of Lamborghini Automobile, Ferruccio Lamborghini certainly doesn't want his "child" to die, compared with the conditions offered by banks and investors in Europe and the United States, the conditions given by this young man in front of him are indeed much more sincere, and after hesitating, he finally nodded:" Yes, in 2 years, if the company's financial situation is still bad after 2 years, I will bring you in to manage the company...... Let's talk about the specific division of responsibilities...... But the price is too low for me to accept. ”
Ferruccio Lamborghini felt that Chen Geng's offer was too low, and Chen Geng also couldn't accept Ferruccio Lamborghini's offer: "The price of every 10% of the shares is $300, and I can't accept this price either, so let's take a step back and give 1% of the shares $120,000." ”
$120,000 per 1% of shares......
Ferruccio Lamborghini hesitated: "180,000." ”
"I'll take a step back, 150,000, I want 20% of the shares," Ferruccio Lamborghini, who was still about to bargain with him, shook his finger, and Chen Geng said: "If we agree to this price, we will continue to talk, and if you don't agree, forget it." ”
Lamborghini is not a listed company, although it was previously pledged to the bank 30% of the shares, but Li Linsen still holds the complete shares of Lamborghini Automobili in his own hands, even if he sells 20% to this guy, he also holds 80% in his hands, but with this 3 million US dollars, Ferruccio Lamborghini is confident that he will be able to reverse the company's current unfavorable situation.
Thinking of this, Ferruccio Lamborghini finally nodded: "OK, it's settled," he asked Chen Geng impatiently, "When can we sign the contract?"
"Don't worry," Chen Geng waved his hand: "I still have two small additional conditions. ”
"Uh...... You said. At this time, the other party said that there were additional conditions, which made Ferruccio Lamborghini a little unhappy, but for the sake of money, he decided to put up with it for the time being, if his conditions were not excessive, then he could inquire, if the conditions were too much...... By the way, what's this guy's name?
Ferruccio Lamborghini, who realized it later, was embarrassed to find that he had talked with the other party for so long and had even reached an investment of $3 million, but he even forgot to ask the other party's name.
Chen Geng: "First, I have a car tuning company, and we are refitting two cars for the Detroit Modified Car Grand Prix in more than a month, and now that the modification work has been basically completed, I hope Lamborghini can send a few engineers to assist us in fine-tuning the car." ”
What was I doing at the time, I was helping to adjust the car.
Ferruccio Lamborghini breathed a sigh of relief, for Lamborghini, who has a lot of experience in building supercars and racing cars, this is a trivial matter, and he immediately nodded: "OK, no problem, I can give you a discount in terms of price......"
"No, no, no, I mean, this is free," Chen Geng interrupted him, emphatically emphatically, "and it must be free, but I will be responsible for the salaries and expenses of these engineers who go to my place." ”
Ferruccio Lamborghini: I ¥T #T......
He really wants to scold his mother!
But for the sake of the other party, Ferruccio Lamborghini gritted his teeth: Lao Tzu endured!
"Yes, what is the second condition?"
Chen Geng: "Second, the $3 million, I will pay it in four installments in two years......"
What the?!
Ferruccio Lamborghini subconsciously refused: "This is impossible!"
But Chen Geng's next sentence made Ferruccio Lamborghini dispel this thought......
"You can disagree, but I think that if you can give such a condition, and at the same time promise not to interfere with your management of the company, you can't find a second person in the world," After a brief pause, Chen Geng made a gesture and said: " Of course, I know that Lamborghini is in a bad situation right now, so the first amount will be in place within a month of us signing the contract, and the total amount will not be less than $1 million, and you can get the second amount at the end of the year, and I think, with this $1.5 million as a base, how can it be enough?"
Ferruccio Lamborghini silently said that if he can get $1 million next month and another $500,000 before the end of the year, it will be enough for Lamborghini.
..............................
After agreeing that the two parties would go to Chen Geng's company in Detroit to inspect and draw up the contract, Ferruccio Lamborghini left happily, looking at Ferruccio Lamborghini's back, Mirren whispered to Chen Geng: "Boss, I'm not questioning your decision, I just think your investment seems to be a bit ......."
"Do you think it's not cost-effective for me to spend so much money and get the best result in the end being to be able to participate in the management of the company?"
"Yes. ”
"Huh...... That's right," Chen Geng nodded, and suddenly asked Mirren, "Miren, ask you something." ”
You say. ”
"When you fish, do you use bait?"
"I don't fish, but ...... All the anglers have to use bait, right?"
Is it enough to get a stake in Lamborghini?
How can it be!
With Ferruccio Lamborghini's poor management ability, Chen Geng does not think that with this $3 million Lamborghini can avoid the fate of bankruptcy.
