In the conference room, time passed little by little, and it seemed that everyone was not in a hurry, so it was consumed.

The atmosphere between several parties is very delicate, except for a few old gods of the Qatar Holding Group, the other three groups of people are talking about something in a whisper, and Wu Qian's side is no exception.

"Mr. Wu, through detailed calculations, we have estimated that the market value of Harrods Department Store is now 2.7 billion pounds, and the normal value-added premium should be 10%, if it can be won at 30-3.1 billion pounds, it is the most ideal situation, but it is difficult to estimate, you have to be prepared......"

Weisman held a copy of data in his hand and whispered in Wu's ear.

Wu Qian nodded slightly, indicating that he knew what he knew.

Finally, after another ten or so minutes, the person in charge of the Blackstone Group stopped grinding and broke the deadlock first.

"Hammerkal, Blackstone's sincerity should be visible to your group, and I hope Mr. Huffman will reconsider what I said on the phone. Hammers, the head of Blackstone, said with a smile.

Huffman, in Hammers's mouth, is now the centralizer of the inner circle of Qatar Holding Group, and has the highest voice in the group.

Hammos's words made the heads of the NPS fund, Choi Jae-in and Oh Qian, jump in their hearts.

How can it be dropped? There is still a secret agreement?

Wu Qian didn't know who Hefman was, but he knew that it wasn't anyone here, and it was probably a higher-level figure.

Choi Jae-in knew very well who Huffman was, and he was wondering what the Blackstone Group was going to do.

Hammercar, who has a deep eye socket and a high nose bridge typical of Middle Eastern people, is very handsome, and he smiled lightly after hearing Hammers's words, and said, "Hammers, don't bother the leader anymore. ”

"I have already replied to you on the phone, this time our group only sells Harrods department stores separately, and other properties under the Harrods group will not consider selling, please don't mention this matter again. ”

Hammerkar didn't help the Blackstone Group hide it, since you Blackstone Group said these things first, it naturally no longer needs to be kept secret, and it is directly stated.

Harrods Department Store is just one of the properties of the Harrods Group, and there are also other subsidiaries such as Harrods Bank, Harrods Real Estate, Harrods Aviation, etc.

After hearing Hammerkar's words, Choi Jae-in breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and Wu Qian also figured out the key after a while, and his expression was a little lighter.

"Fortunately, ......," Wu Qian and Choi Jae-in whispered in their hearts.

Not only the two of them, but the legal and business consultants brought by Wu Qian were also secretly relieved.

Blackstone's appetite is very large, and they are not only interested in Harrods, but want to directly spend a lot of money to acquire Harrods Group, including all its subsidiaries.

For this reason, the Blackstone Group has even prepared tens of billions of dollars, and there are billions of dollars that can be withdrawn at any time.

This approach is very much in line with the Blackstone Group's usual style.

Pity.

In previous negotiations, Qatar Holding Group made it clear that it would not sell other subsidiaries, especially real estate companies and airlines, because the group is building a global industrial chain, and these two industries are indispensable links, which are simply not possible and unnecessary to abandon.

Harrods Department Store alone is more special, and it is about to enter a period of sluggish development, so it was taken out and exchanged for funds.

Hammers smiled regretfully, shook his head and said: "It's a pity, it seems that I have once again disappointed Mr. Steve Schwartzman, if it is only Harrods, we are really not very interested, but Blackstone Group is still willing to buy Harrods for 2.5 billion pounds." ”

Hamos was very straightforward, and directly quoted the price after knowing that it was impossible, and then glanced at Choi Jae-in and Wu Qian calmly, and then withdrew his gaze.

The Blackstone Group was founded in 1985, with Steve Schwartzman as one of the founders, and Peter Peterson as the other one.

Steve Schwartzman was hailed by Fortune magazine as "the leading figure of Wall Street's new generation", and his style influenced every detail of the Blackstone Group, and he was called the "spiritual godfather" of the Blackstone Group.

In 2007, he was named one of the 25 most influential business leaders in the world by Fortune.

Blackstone's appetite is not satisfied with a department store at all, so the bid is not too high. I have already said what I need to say on the phone, and it is impossible to put that kind of thing in front of others, and it is useless to say it now.

Hammercar and Choi Jae-in both smiled when they heard Hammers' offer, and both knew that the price was simply impossible.

Wu Qian also pouted secretly, the valuation has reached 2.7 billion pounds, and it is not a garbage industry that needs to be sold cheaply, how can 2.5 billion pounds be taken.

"Hammers, it's a shame that the price you gave doesn't even quite match the valuation of Harrods today. Hammercar shook his head, he could naturally see the other party's intentions, if he couldn't put together a set, even if the individual cards were good, he didn't plan to ask for them.

Hammer smiled, he stood up and said, "In that case, the Blackstone Group can only withdraw from this bid." Mr. Cui, and this friend of the Celestial Empire, I wish you all the best of luck. Hammerkar, bless you as well. ”

Hammercar smiled and nodded, thanking Hammers for his insincere blessing with the etiquette of his own country.

Choi Jae-in's heart blossomed, and the strongest opponent withdrew like this, which was not too cool.

Wu Qian nodded to Hammers, he was a little stunned in his heart, the style of these top investment banks is really decisive, and they will pull them down if they don't agree with each other, okay, you don't want me.

"Let's go down to the city first, okay. Wu Qian said secretly in his heart, to be honest, he was still a little nervous.

The people of Hammer's team didn't say a word, and they packed up the documents and left without the slightest drag.

Hammercar simply stood up and gestured, but did not take a step to see off the guest.

Qatar Holding Group is no worse than NPS Fund and Blackstone, and if Steve Schwartzman had been there, he would have given him off, but Hammers was only a senior and didn't need him to treat him in particular.

"Mr. Cui, Mr. Wu, there are no restrictions on the sale of Harrods Department Store this time, and it is completely based on the capital, what is the price of each of you?" Hamercar said.

This is an alternative war, different from art auctions, which are more bloody and cruel in comparison, it is completely money to open the way, and there is not even a little skill, if you feel that it is worth it, you can only give it up, even if you can't bear it, you can't do it.

Cui Zairen glanced at Wu Qian with a vague look, when the Blackstone Group was there, he felt that strong enemies were around, but at this moment, he already felt that he was winning.

"The NPS fund intends to buy Harrods for £3.1 billion. Choi Jae-in took the lead.
