Chapter 438: Expansion in Progress
Next stop, New Zealand.
Here, Galaxy director Peter Jackson is filming "The Lord of the Rings", and the three films are filmed together, and then some post-production work, such as special effects processing and editing. The images in the Lord of the Rings film show the stunning scenery of New Zealand and are impressive. As a result, New Zealand has become a real-life version of "Middle-earth".
So, leaving Seychelles, Henry and the others flew directly to New Zealand.
……
At this moment, Yingyun Logistics, which is far away in the United Kingdom, received an offer to acquire FedEx (Earth) Company.
Yingyun Logistics Headquarters.
Sitting at the head of the conference room, a middle-aged man in his forties with a slightly fat figure looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Since the merger of FedEx and Nicholas Express, FedEx (Earth) has become the world's largest express company. Now, they're expanding again, and they're ambitious enough to buy us!"
"Mr. Colin Kirton, FedEx (Earth), with the support of Duke Williams, has deep pockets. If he wants to forcibly buy us, Yingyun Logistics will not be able to escape!" said a blonde man in a black suit, "Yingyun Logistics, as a listed company, has a fragmented stock market, and it is very easy for others to take advantage of the stock market and snatch the controlling stake of the company." And in the past two years, the company has been buying other companies, so the funds we can use are very limited! And the stock price of Yingyun Logistics has been a bit weird recently, and I suspect that FedEx has already absorbed shares in the stock market!"
Colin Cottonn nodded in agreement, "Well, you're right, it should be like this......"
At this time, another slightly older man, probably in his fifties, looked at Colin Cotton and asked, "Mr. Kirton, what conditions did FedEx give?"
"The $4.5 billion purchase price," Colin Cottonn paused before adding, "$500 million more than the market capitalization of Intel Logistics." ”
"It is normal to buy at a premium, but the total market value of Yingyun Logistics is only 4 billion US dollars, but it is a premium of 12% all of a sudden!
When everyone heard this, they all fell silent.
Colin Cotton raised his head at this time and said, "Instead of being hostilely acquired by FedEx (Earth), let's talk to them first, it's good for everyone." If...... If the conditions are right, then sell Yingyun Logistics!"
Everyone had no other way, and nodded their heads in agreement: "Well, that's the best!"
There is no impermeable wall in the world, and soon, the news that FedEx wanted to buy Yingyun Logistics spread, and multi-billion dollar acquisitions are rare, which caused a huge sensation in Europe.
So, halfway through, a Cheng Biting Jin was killed.
Deutsche Post, the most powerful logistics company in Europe, immediately convened a meeting to discuss whether to snipe at it.
If Yingyun Logistics Company is acquired by FedEx, it will inevitably increase its strength, which will pose a greater threat to Deutsche Post's position in Europe!
As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, so after a short discussion, the board of directors of Deutsche Post has always believed that FedEx cannot be allowed to acquire British Logistics. As a result, Deutsche Post also immediately submitted a request for acquisition to Yingyun Logistics. At the same time, it also began to frantically absorb the shares of Yingyun Logistics on the stock market!
However, Henry Williams was the Duke of Cambridge and married a British princess. Therefore, there are quite a lot of shareholders in Yingyun Logistics Company who support Henry. As a result, FedEx has a bigger chance of winning.
On the British side, the battle for British logistics is in full swing.
On the Chinese side, as soon as SF Express received a request from FedEx to acquire it, it was immediately rejected.
"I'm sorry, but SF Express does not accept acquisitions. In the office, Wang Wei frowned and said categorically to the representative of FedEx.
"Mr. Wang, the situation of your company seems to be a little bad, and the persons in charge of various places do not seem to obey the dispatch of the headquarters of SF Express Company, and there is a tendency for the princes to divide their positions. Of course, you must have seen it yourself. The representative of FedEx said with a smile, "The best way to solve this problem is to collect the rights, buy back the SF Express that is franchised and operated by the localities, and operate it yourself." ”
When Wang Wei heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, this is exactly what he is going to do next year, and he didn't expect to be guessed by the other party!
"Mr. Wang, if you accept our acquisition, you have sufficient funds and can solve the company's problems as quickly as possible. And with the help of FedEx, SF Express can develop at the fastest speed and become the largest express company in China!"
The FedEx representative said lightly, "We will leave 20% of the shares to Mr. Wang, although it is only 20%, but its value is much more than you are now." Perhaps, you can be worth more than 10 billion yuan! Of course, you can also not accept our acquisition, then, SF Express will become a competitor of FedEx! For competitors, FedEx is never polite!!
The words of the FedEx representative were both coercion and inducement. If it still doesn't work, then it's useless to talk more, and see the truth in your hands!
When Wang Wei heard this, his face turned a little red.
Compared with FedEx, SF Express is naturally nothing, and there is no comparison. But he is stubborn and has a strong desire to control, and he is unwilling to be reduced to a vassal of FedEx, "SF Express will not accept the acquisition, although FedEx is very powerful, but this is China!" Wang Wei straightened his chest and said.
"Okay, Mr. Wang, since you insist on not agreeing to the acquisition of FedEx, then I won't say more, please do it yourself......" The representative of FedEx smiled at Wang Wei, got up from his seat, pushed open the door and left the office.
……
Henry's plane had just arrived in New Zealand when a phone call came.
"Mr. Williams, the founder of SF Express has rejected our acquisition request!"
Henry had expected it, so when he heard this, he didn't react, and said lightly: "Then according to the original plan, FedEx took the initiative to enter Chinese mainland, build outlets and warehouses, build a fleet, fleet, and reach a cooperative relationship with local airlines." At the same time of crazy expansion, it will inevitably cause a huge shortage of talents. Therefore, to pay a high price to dig talents, SF, YTO, and even China Post are good targets, and at the same time, establish our own talent training mechanism. As a country with a population of 1.3 billion, China's logistics industry has great potential and must be taken seriously!"
"Yes!"
Henry hung up.
At this time, Peter Jackson and local officials from New Zealand came to the airport to meet the plane.
