When Li Guangyu and Li Xuelan continued to discuss the layout of the supermarket group, Gan Qin led Elanli Helington, president of Goldman Sachs Greater China, to the office.

Li Guangyu said to him: "Lady Hairington, welcome to you. ”

Yi Lanli received a call from Gan Qin in the morning, inviting herself to come to the Li Building, Li Guangyu has something to discuss with herself, and now when she comes to the office and sees the president of Hengyu Supermarket Group here, she knows that the business of the 7-11 company she recommended to Li Guangyu last time is estimated to be no problem, and she finally got a big order for the group.

Elanlee Helington said, "Mr. Li, Miss Li, it's a pleasure to meet with you. ”

After inviting Elanly Herrington to sit down, Lee told Gan Qin to bring him a cup of coffee.

Elanlee Hairington said: "Li Sheng, you are so polite, in fact, you can have tea." ”

Li Guangyu said: "Ms. Helrington, our group also prepares coffee, you are welcome, you can tell Gan Qin which flavor you like, and she will send it to you according to your taste." ”

Seeing Li Guangyu say this, Elanli Herrington was no longer polite, and told Ganqin about the taste she liked to drink.

After Gan Qin went out, Li Guangyu said: "Ms. Hellington, I invite you here this time mainly to discuss with you about the 7-Eleven company under your American Southern Company. ”

Elanlee Hairington said: "Mr. Li, I think you have a clear understanding of the Southern Company and its 7-Eleven Company now, and we at Goldman Sachs can't blind you in this regard, I don't know if you have any questions that I need to answer?"

This morning, Peng Xiaoli reported to Li Guangyu about the Southern Company and the 7-11 investigation.

Li Guangyu feels a little magical, he has to deal with the Texas consortium on his Jiayi TV station, and the 7-11 to be acquired this time belongs to the territory of the Texas consortium, and the headquarters of the Southern Company belongs to Dallas, but I don't know if the shareholders behind it are members of the Texas consortium.

Therefore, the acquisition of Li Guangyu is planned to be given to Goldman Sachs, and if he does it himself, it is estimated that if he belongs to the Texas consortium, even if he is willing to sell to himself, the purchase price will not be cheap.

Li Guangyu said: "Ms. Hellington, it is estimated that you Goldman Sachs have also evaluated 7-Eleven, I wonder how much capital you need to complete this 7-11 acquisition?"

"Mr. Lee, the 7-Eleven brand is not only well-known in the United States, but also in Japan, Mexico and Treasure Island. Our price is $500 million for you to eat Southern Company's 7-Eleven Company, which includes the 7-Eleven brand and its convenience stores in the United States. ”

Li Guangyu is not satisfied with this price, which is too high, such a price, he might as well re-establish a new convenience store company, in Asia he does not need to worry about the brand at all, the Li Group has enough influence in these regions.

Li Guangyu said: "Ms. Helrington, I don't think many companies will buy 7-Eleven at such a high price. As far as we know, the profitability of 7-Eleven convenience stores in the United States is not very ideal, and it is good to be able to have no losses? If you want to have a higher profit, it seems unlikely, and now the 7-Eleven brand can be worth some money, their stores are rented, and these stores are not worth much money at all. ”

Elanlee Hairington also tried to quote the price, which reserved a lot of room for negotiation, leaving some room for negotiation.

She herself has heard some rumors that the Li Group has made a profit of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars in the stock market this time, and has enough financial resources to eat 7-11. If it weren't for some industries where Li Guangyu, as a native of Xiangjiang, was not easy to acquire, she would continue to recommend some large groups to Li Guangyu, such as the Disney Group.

It's a pity that although many groups do not explicitly restrict the acquisition of enterprises by foreigners, if Lee Guangyu buys the Disney Group, it will definitely not be approved.

CFIUS is a department established by the United States to regulate the acquisition of foreign companies, and is composed of the Ministry of Intelligence, the Department of Defense, the Ministry of Defense, and the Ministry of Defense.

The Disney Group, on the other hand, has one of the leading television networks in the United States, and its influence on public opinion in the United States is considerable, and it is not that American citizens have almost cut off the possibility of acquiring it.

Elanlee Helington said, "Mr. Li, I don't know what price you think is more appropriate?"

Li Guangyu said: "Ms. Hairington, I also sincerely want to make this deal with you Goldman Sachs, I think for now, the price of 200 million US dollars is more appropriate." ”

Elanlee Herrington didn't expect Li Guangyu to bargain so hard, this is because he doesn't want his company to make money, it is estimated that it would be good to be able to win 7-11 at such a price, and his company will be busy in vain.

Elanlee Hairington said: "Mr. Li, it seems that your group has made a detailed assessment of the value of 7-Eleven, but if you only offer such a price, we Goldman Sachs will not be able to take over your business, after all, we need to negotiate the acquisition of the cost, you can't ask us to complete your business at a loss." ”

Li Guangyu said: "Ms. Hellington, you still say a price that you Goldman Sachs think can be made, our Li Group also knows the Southern Company and 7-11 very well, and everyone has shown sincerity." ”

After thinking for a while, Yi Lanli said to Li Guangyu: "Li Sheng, you also know that we will use a lot of resources to discuss the acquisition, so we can successfully hand over the 7-11 company to you, so there will be a lot of costs, in order to continue to cooperate with your group in the future, we only need 230 million US dollars this time, and the acquisition time is expected to take about three months." ”

After thinking about it for a while, Li Guangyu agreed to Elanlee Herrington's proposal, which is relatively low, and Goldman Sachs will not make much money if it is acquired at the current price.

However, Li Guangyu believes that Goldman Sachs must have a way to lower the price of the acquisition, and their elites are not generally strong in negotiating acquisitions, which is why many companies will cooperate with them in mergers and acquisitions.

Elanlee Hairington said before leaving: "Mr. Li, if you still have anything to acquire in the United States, you can also find us Goldman Sachs, as long as the United States is an industry that allows you to enter, I believe that we Goldman Sachs can buy it for you." ”

At present, Li Guangyu has no plan to focus on developing the US market, and at present he is still mainly focusing on Japan and treasure islands, and the most important thing in the United States is to invest in some future high-tech companies, especially those Internet bigwigs that Li Guangyu is familiar with.

Li Guangyu never thought of holding shares, becoming an angel investor himself, getting more than 10% of the shares, and not affecting the development of these companies.

If Li Guangyu controls these companies, there will definitely be problems with their development, and the US government will inevitably impose some restrictions on them. When the time comes, it will not develop, and Li Guangyu will lose a lot.

After Li Guangyu sent Elanli Helington away, he said to Li Xuelan: "When you presided over the expansion of our supermarket group in Baodao this time, you also inspected the 7-11 situation of the Uni-President Group in Baodao to prepare for the establishment of 7-11 by ourselves." ”

Li Xuelan is also very happy that this has expanded another business for her group, forming a retail group with large supermarkets and convenience stores, which can complement each other and greatly enhance the comprehensive strength of the group.

Li Xuelan said: "Li Sheng can rest assured that I will observe the operation of 7-11 more on the treasure island, prepare for the opening of 7-11 for our group, and learn more experience from it." ”

Li Guangyu said: "This time, we started to expand from the Xiangjiang side on 7-11, and then Southeast Asia, Japan and Baodao were ceded to Yanghuatang and the Uni-President Group, but then the agency fee had to be redefined." ”
