Chapter 421: Deal
Paul was stupid, and the other party asked him "yes", based on this fact, he took the situation that the other party said in his head, and quickly came to an answer: yes!
Who in this world does not know the tyranny and hegemony of socialism?
Going against the socialist government, secretly selling the treasure that they also participated in the contribution to win easily, this kind of behavior is purely looking for death, okay?
After thinking about this, and then looking at the young man opposite, Paul's eyes softened a little - this guy is really unlucky, obviously a young man with great business talent, but he was born in such an unequal country, and his talent is destined to be greatly suppressed.
Fortunately, he is not pedantic, and has the same broad vision as their citizens of a democratic and free capitalist society, at least he has a way forward for himself.
Paul even dared to conclude that it was only a matter of time before this guy changed his nationality.
However, then again, the cost of such behavior is not insignificant, and I heard that this person still has many industries in Chinese mainland, and if he breaks with the Chinese government, it is impossible not to lose a fortune.
"Mr. Li, I admit that you are indeed under a certain amount of pressure, but I still say that a billion dollars of income is enough to release all the pressure. ”
The other party's tone has obviously changed a little, which makes Li Yadong's heart quite comfortable, and his goal has been achieved. Then, it seems logical to raise the price next.
Where can the other party understand his strategy?
It is true that Li Yadong knows that the sale of the Jaguar brand will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the central authorities, but he has already thought of a remedy and believes that it should satisfy those leaders.
Besides, his relationship with the central level is not very strong, but not very weak, and these foreigners are destined to not know.
"No, no......" Li Yadong smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "Mr. Paul, you are too simple, once this business is promoted, I will risk a complete break with the Chinese government, affecting my business in China is still small, the key, I may not be able to set foot on the land of the motherland again in this life, the bitterness of this, you might as well think about it?"
"This ......" Paul went through the acquisition plan from beginning to end, only to find that it was not that the other party deliberately delayed time, or played tricks on them, but because the other party had such big scruples in his heart.
To be honest, from his point of view, the Ford Group will not break with the U.S. government because of a business, even if it makes them salivate.
The benefits are tempting, but the costs are even greater.
It is very rare and full of sincerity for people to be able to do this. I am afraid that any other Chinese citizen would not dare to do such a "bold" thing.
This young man is very ambitious and courageous, but his means are very aggressive, and if he can hold on and not "die", his future is limitless.
He has all the ingredients of a successful businessman.
"That'...... I would like to know what the price is to make Mr. Li take risks? To make it clear, I am just asking whether the Ford Group will accept it, because the price has exceeded the actual value of the Jaguar brand, and no matter how high it is, it is not in our interests. ”
Another sister, another sister, really when Lao Tzu is a car white, there are only a few well-known car brands in the world, and nine out of ten are already famous, Li Yadong slandered. However, his face remained silent, and he stretched out three fingers and said, "Three billion, dollars." ”
"What?!" Not to mention Paul, everyone present, even Huang Deping, was instantly stunned.
What is the lion's mouth?
That's it!
As far as Li Yadong is concerned, what's wrong with the lion's big mouth? Oh, you want to get to the bottom of Lao Tzu, so Lao Tzu has to tell you?
Are you my second uncle?
Give you a price that is destined to be unaffordable, figure it out for yourself.
As for whether it will scare away these people, he has also considered it - these guys don't want to run thousands of miles from the United States to the United Kingdom, and then from the United Kingdom to Hong Kong, so they can't be so intimidated, right?
Besides, he didn't say he wouldn't give a counteroffer?
"Mr. Li, are you kidding, you should know that this is absolutely impossible. You should have heard of the AMC Automobile Company in the United States, which was the fourth largest automobile company in the United States, and was acquired by Chrysler last year, and paid 800 million US dollars on the surface, plus the amount of shares acquired from a third party, it is only 1.5 billion US dollars, and your price is enough to buy two AMC companies!" Paul frowned, after the above discussion, not to mention anger, but always felt that the other party was a little unreasonable.
"I don't like to beat around the bush, and I said it because you asked, Mr. Paul, but that's really the price of my heart. Li Yadong shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile.
"Can we talk?" Paul felt like he wanted to get up.
This price is absolutely unacceptable to the Ford Group, he is responsible for coming to Hong Kong this time, whether it is successful or not, it is to completely deal with this matter, in fact, the group has given him a floor range, but this amount, beyond the range too much.
Li Yadong frowned, half of it was pretending, half of it was a real inner reaction, it is estimated that the good temper of the dog day has really been polished, and he is ready to leave at every turn - this is the most common drama in the market mall, but don't say it, there is no merchant who does not eat this set, and he will try everything.
"Well, since we've talked about this, Mr. Paul might as well show your cards and see how much difference there is between them and my psychological price, and if it's too big, forget it. The price I have to pay is too heavy, and I hope you will understand that I have to weigh the pros and cons. ”
The tone of his words was particularly heavy, and when he said it with a sad expression, he seemed very sincere - in fact, Li Yadong also felt that he had learned badly, he used to be a very honest person, and unconsciously, it seemed that he had reached a point where "life is like a play, and it all depends on acting skills".
It can only be said that the shopping mall is really a melting pot, and it is difficult to soar without learning to cheat.
Paul did not reply immediately, but held his cheek and pondered, and looked at him from time to time, trying to find a flaw in his "sincere" face, but unfortunately...... He failed.
"In that case...... Alright, Mr. Li, then I'll tell you the truth, when I was leaving, the board of directors gave a final price after deliberation, which is the limit of what we can get, and we will not consider exceeding this price, even if it is one point. ”
"Oh?" Li Yadong asked with a calm face, "How much?"
"Two and a half billion!"
Sure enough, Li Yadong squinted slightly, presumably in his last life, British astronautics just stopped like this.
But, you're a bad old man, I'm going to believe you?
"A gap of 500 million...... Hehe......" Li Yadong shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Then forget it, it's too bad to talk about." ”
As he spoke, he stood up first.
His face seemed to be very calm at this time, but in fact, his heart almost didn't jump to his throat, he was gambling!
Bet on a dignified vice president of the Ford Group, it is impossible to be so without a city government.
Oh, as soon as others ask, you get to the bottom of it?
Can you be so honest?
Not to mention that when it comes to this step, the other party may not be able to do anything. As the saying goes, there are people outside the people and mountains outside the mountains, Li Yadong lived two lives before he understood a truth: never think how smart you are, and never think how stupid others are.
Most of the people who think they are smart, cut the sky-high price in the mall, and finally force the boss to scold, finally complete the transaction, and leave proudly, are mostly pigs.
Although Paul deliberately hid it, a flicker in his eyes was still well captured by Li Yadong, who had a heart, and his heart was suddenly stable.
This bad old man is really bad!
"Mr. Li really doesn't think about it anymore? If we leave today, we won't come back. ”
The time has come to fight for psychological quality, to replace Li Yadong in his previous life, his legs and stomachs are trembling at this time, but this life is different, his status is high, his vision is broadened, and he even talks to the great man on the phone, and his heart is surprisingly big, smiling and shaking his head, "No, it's too bad, the gains and losses are unbalanced, I don't think about it." ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please.
But Paul sat there motionless - he had a heavy responsibility, and now that his cards had not been revealed, how could he go?
I saw this guy once, waited for half a year, and I'll see you next time, who knows when?
In the future market layout of the Ford Group, a car brand to compete with the German BBA and the Japanese benzene "Liangda" is indispensable, and the current US domestic market is under attack, if it does not fight back strongly, the loss will be more than billions?
Jaguar, the legend of the Le Mans circuit and a well-known brand in Europe and the United States, is the most suitable strategic resource for them.
It had to be taken - these were the words of the board of directors when he was leaving.
"Mr. Li, I need a separate office, just the two of us, plus one of our interpreters, to consult in detail. In addition, I also need an international telephone, my bottom line has been given, and Mr. Li's attitude is here, I need to call back to the group, consult the president and others, and see what they say. To be honest, I don't want to make a trip for nothing, but it depends on what they mean. ”
Load, continue loading. Li Yadong pretended to think for a little before he said, "That'...... All right. ”
The two left the conference room, and an interpreter followed closely behind him and went to Li Yadong's private office, where he didn't come out for lunch, and discussed from 11 o'clock in the morning until 4:30 in the afternoon.
A large group of people could only sit in the conference room, and the leaders did not eat, so they naturally did not dare to leave without permission, and they were hungry one by one, looking listless.
When they suddenly found that there were two more people at the door, everyone suddenly became excited and sat down in unison.
"Sign up. Paul laughed, but it didn't look like he was happy.
"Call the lawyer. Li Yadong also sighed and ordered Huang Deping, as if he had suffered a big loss.
"Oh. Huang Deping was itching in his heart, and he couldn't wait to know the final transaction price immediately, but he also knew that it was not the right time, so he went to the next door and called the group lawyer.
Lawyers from both sides sat opposite each other and began to review and draft the documents.
"Boss, what is the transaction amount?" asked Chen Qiaoyi.
"Two billion dollars of two hundred thousand dollars. Li Yadong replied.
Huang Deping, who was on the side, almost didn't drop his jaw when he heard this amount.
He is the only person on the scene who knows Li Yadong's psychological price - 2.5 billion.
At the beginning of this meeting, the other party's bid did not reach the price he wanted, only 2.38 billion.
In just half a day, he insisted on his own strength to make the other party's bid break through his psychological price, not to mention, and exceeded 180 million US dollars!
Such efficiency, such a speed of making money, is not enough to describe horror.
It's a thriller!
