Chapter 240: Bargaining

Most of them have begun to mature after experiencing the pains of growing up again and again.

Or maybe the charm of fame was too great, which deeply stimulated Miss Emma Lawrence, anyway, when she went out the next day, she had already carried a bucket to help clean the car, and took the Alaskan sled dog Little Orica out for a walk.

Han Chudong saw her, and smiled and waved his hand to say hello, seeing his own immortal Alaskan dog, a sense of powerlessness surged in his heart, because this guy was about to become an "Alaskan pig", and his body was huge, Emma couldn't pull it at all, and was dragged away by it.

Finding little Orricka running towards him excitedly, he stopped the car and said hello to him before leaving for the company......

This morning, Whirlpool Group sent a consultant to meet with Han Chudong, whose status is not high, but it is definitely not low.

After introducing each other, Han Chudong was too lazy to talk to each other, and directly quoted the price and said:

"The only condition I can accept is that Whirlpool Financing will raise 20 million US dollars, get 30% of the shares, have no preferential financing rights, and cannot interfere too much with the normal development of our company, but I can appoint a senior vice president to supervise the business and audit the accounts of our company.

Of course, after becoming a shareholder, we will mainly promote Whirlpool brand home appliances, but we must have advantages in price, quality, and after-sales service, don't expect to treat my company as a Whirlpool retail store, that is a waste of the home appliance retail concept I created. ”

"Mr. Han, your requirements don't meet the needs of our company. ”

"Then I can only forget it, I believe that other companies should be interested, don't come up with the same set to deal with other people to deal with me, Baofeng Electric is not short of funds, and the speed of development and expansion is no problem, on average, it can open one or two more branches a week, and it has opened in Oregon and Wyoming, and the branches on the East Coast are also ready to start business. ”

Hearing Han Chudong put forward his own ideas, the senior consultant named White was not in a hurry, his head turned fast enough, and he asked: "I want to know, if you are not short of funds, then why do you still accept 20 million US dollars in financing?"

"The reason is nothing more than to share the risk and reduce the purchase cost, as one of the conditions for taking a stake in Baofeng Electric, we must get a discount from the purchase of electrical goods, and force other electrical manufacturers to give me a lower purchase price.

For me, 20 million US dollars, whether it is yours, Panasonic Electric, Siemens Electric, for me is actually about the same, compared to the cost of borrowing from the bank, directly accepting financing is more secure and cost-effective, you should know how high the current bank loan interest rate is. ”

Han Chudong's words were half-truthful.

His real idea is that if he gets a financing of up to 20 million US dollars, it almost means that he will not have to invest in it himself in the future, and he can also get the support of Whirlpool Group, and his ability to resist risks will be greatly improved.

At present, the main focus is on other more profitable industries, a little bit less than the time-consuming and labor-intensive home appliance retail market, but there is no failure to sell high-quality assets as a whole, more like revealing a signal, telling others to have a good relationship with themselves, there is the possibility of making money in partnership.

Advisor White nodded subconsciously.

Since Whirlpool Company sent someone to contact Han Chudong and quoted a relatively good purchase price, it means that most of the company's senior management must have recognized the strength of Baofeng Electric Company in home appliance retail, as well as the company's own growth potential.

From the overall acquisition to financing shares, Wright Consultant felt that he could talk about it carefully, and told: "If, I mean if, Whirlpool becomes a shareholder of Baofeng Electric, of course, it will give certain wholesale discounts, which may reach the low level of regional general agents, and can also jointly hold some promotional activities." But I raised $20 million and only got 30 percent of the shares, and I don't think the board of directors will ......."

Han Chudong interrupted him and said:

"You just tell them on my terms, if you think it's unreasonable, then there's no need to continue talking.

The growth rate of retail sales of Baofeng Electric has exceeded 50% for two consecutive quarters, and you have taken advantage of me to give 30% of the shares.

It's no wonder that Han Chudong was impatient, he rushed to send benefits to Whirlpool, but the other party was still too little and wanted to bargain.

Look at the top performers.

In the stage of rapid development, who doesn't push themselves to the point of exhaustion, squeeze out the last vestiges, and then pinch their noses to accept financing?

Baofeng Electric is really not short of money, and the development momentum is also very good, Han Chudong wants to let Li go out to win over allies, so he is willing to cede some long-term interests, and White's adviser actually has to inch in, isn't he looking for scolding.

In the eyes of White's advisors, Han Chudong obviously belongs to the type of person who is strong and arrogant.

But White also admits that the young Asians sitting across from him do have the ability to be arrogant.

Seeing Han Chudong get up and prepare to leave, he also stood up and stretched out his hand and said, "I will convey your thoughts to the board of directors after I go back, and I will call you after the decision is made to keep in touch." ”

"Okay, I'll give you forty-eight hours to think about it, and after that, you'll contact other investors, and whoever offers the highest price will accept their financing.

Arthur, arrange for someone to take the White consultant to visit the logistics warehouse and also inspect the retail store......"

After smiling and shaking hands, Han Chudong went upstairs directly and talked to several directors of Baofeng Electric about the possibility of accepting a financing in the near future, and asked them to prepare a slightly more radical expansion plan in advance, in case they need it at that time.

When I was done, I went back to the office and drank coffee.

Grinding coffee beans by himself, pouring coffee powder into the filter paper, and brewing it with hot water at about 90 degrees Celsius, Han Chudong enjoyed the process of brewing coffee, and felt that such a hand-poured coffee tasted better than the coffee brewed in the coffee machine.

Assistant Arthur was also in his office, waiting for a cup of hot coffee, and said with a smile: "You really didn't treat Advisor White at all just now. ”

Han Chudong said disapprerovingly: "Actually, I think others are good, but business is not like this, if others think that I am a bully softie, I will definitely be in trouble in the future." I'm a little stronger, won't Advisor White just hold back the bargaining words, do you think Whirlpool will agree?"

"I don't know, it's a 50 percent probability. Assistant Arthur said.

Han Chudong's expression was speechless: "Either agree or refuse, you are half and half, which means that you didn't say anything......"
