James didn't expect that someone would propose an acquisition of the company at this time, didn't the other party know Supreme's current predicament?

Then he denied his speculation.

The other party is about to buy his own company, how can he not do some investigation. Although my company is not big, it costs tens of millions of dollars.

Then, it seems that the other party is confident in solving the company's problems!

That is, people like James, who do their own business professionally and don't pay much attention to the dynamics outside the circle.

He didn't even know the origin of this European Emperor Fund.

It is not surprising that many people in Europe and the United States, especially in the United States, are really living in their own world, self-centered, and do not pay attention to the outside world at all.

Not to mention 2013 now, even in a few years, in the era of information explosion.

ON FACEBOOK AND TWITTER, MANY EUROPEANS AND WANES HAVE ASKED IF THE CHINESE PEOPLE HAVE ACCESS TO ELECTRICITY.

Of course, some of them are pretending to be stupid, and some of them really don't know.

……

At the appointed time, LISA flew to New York, where she met James at Supreme's headquarters.

Although this acquisition is not large, it is not worth Wang Ye to go out in person, but after all, it will also use tens of millions of dollars.

LISA IS STILL VERY SERIOUS, AND SHE BRINGS A TEAM OF SIX PROFESSIONALS.

James was surprised to see that the person leading the conversation was a girl in her twenties.

HE ASKED AGAIN AND AGAIN, "MISS LISA, ARE YOU SERIOUS ABOUT THIS ACQUISITION OF YOUR COMPANY, AND WHAT IS YOUR POSITION IN THE COMPANY?"

The dissatisfaction was clearly revealed in the words, James thought that this was the European Emperor Fund that casually sent a few middle and low-level employees to explore the way, and did not take Supreme seriously.

LISA SAID CALMLY: "MY BOSS, MR. WANG YE, WHO IS ALSO THE PRESIDENT OF THE EUROPEAN ROYAL FOUNDATION, HAS GIVEN ME FULL AUTHORITY, AND IF THE NEGOTIATIONS GO WELL, I CAN SIGN THE AGREEMENT ON THE SPOT." ”

James then put his mind at ease and took LISA and his party seriously.

In the large conference room at Supreme headquarters, the two sides began formal negotiations.

Supreme is a privately held company that is fully owned by Jade, so when it comes to an acquisition, the process is very simple.

There is no need for cumbersome processes such as inquiry, information disclosure, shareholders' meeting, etc., as listed companies do.

As long as James wants to sell and the other party can afford the price, then the deal can be completed directly.

James has not yet made up his mind whether to sell the company, and he is certainly full of affection for the Supreme brand, and has always been very careful to run the brand.

However, the company is in such a difficult situation that James feels like he can't hold on.

But sell it, he is very unwilling.

So, he is now an ambivalence, hovering between selling and not selling.

"Mr. James, let me introduce our Foundation first, this time the time is in a hurry, maybe Mr. James has not had time to get to know us. LSIA smiled.

James nodded repeatedly, he really hadn't had time to get to know the foundation yet.

The European Royal Family Fund is led and controlled by Mr. Wang Ye, and the fund's investors include Mr. Wang Ye, the Danish royal family, the British royal family, the Spanish royal family, the Monaco royal family and the Swedish royal family. Oh, and besides, the directors of the Foundation are all held by the crown princes of these royal families. ”

James' mouth opened wide, as if he were listening to a fairy tale.

He originally thought that this so-called "royal fund" was just in the name of a royal family, but he never expected that this fund was really a genuine "royal" fund!

James's heart moved, and he understood a little, no wonder this fund dared to propose a purchase even though he knew that his brand was in trouble.

It turns out that the background of this fund is much more powerful than that of the Kemora family, and its strength is overwhelming.

Thinking of this, his heart was on fire, and the company's predicament seemed to be solved.

"MISS LISA, I HAVE A SUGGESTION, CAN YOU ...... I mean, can you work with Supreme as a shareholder? ”

JAMES STARED AT LISA EXPECTANTLY.

He was unwilling to give up his career, but on his own, he had no way to fight the Kemora family.

Now that I suddenly met a powerful cooperative opponent, of course, I wanted to quickly pounce on it and hug my thighs.

LISA was stunned, and became a shareholder to cooperate?

She thought of what Wang Ye had told her before she came.

"If the other party sells all of his shares, then keep him in charge of the company with high salaries and dividends. If the other party does not want to liquidate the position, it is even better to keep no more than 20% of the shares for him. ”

For this kind of personalized branding, the founder is really the soul of the brand.

If the founder is driven away, then the brand will also lose its soul and become less personal and interesting.

So Wang Ye specially instructed that no matter what, James must be left!

What Wang Ye wants is a Supreme that develops healthily and continues to become popular, not an empty shell.

……

LISA SMILED AND SAID, "WHY DON'T YOU TAKE IT ANOTHER WAY, OUR FOUNDATION WILL BUY IT WHOLLY BY YOU." ”

Hearing this, James was disappointed, thinking that LISA had rejected his offer and wanted him to leave the company.

But who knows, LISA will have words later.

"Then, we hired Mr. James to continue to serve as the CEO of the company, and enjoy incentive equity!"

That's LISA's strategy.

If, as James suggests, the two sides work together to run Supreme, then a problem arises.

Maybe James will not be able to figure out the relationship between the two sides, he is the founder himself, and all the employees of the company are recruited by him.

At that time, even if the European Emperor Fund will hold it, it will still have no say in the company.

But according to LISA's method, the Foundation buys the entire company of Supreme, and then hires James as CEO, and gives you a share of the shares for free!

It seems that the European Emperor Fund has suffered a loss, but in fact, the ownership relationship of Supreme is very clear.

James is just a professional manager hired by the European Emperor Fund!

Listening to LISA's words, James blinked his eyes and didn't react for a while.

He wondered if this shrewd-looking girl was stupid.

Obviously, you can get a controlling stake in the company by spending less, so why do you have to spend more?

It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand, but it's something that's clearly in his favor, and of course he's happy to.

Now the problem is simple, one is willing to sell and the other is willing to buy, and the next is to talk about the price.

"I have an appraisal report issued by a third-party company, Supreme's tangible assets plus intangible assets, that is, brand goodwill, with a market value of $80 million!"

Although he was not prepared for anything else, he did not take it lightly when it came to the most important thing.

The company's appraisal report, James has asked a third-party company to do the valuation.

He himself wants to know how much the company is worth.

If he can sell for $80 million, of course James is very happy, it means that he will become a billionaire!

How hard is it to become a billionaire?

You can look at Forbes statistics, the United States has a population of more than 300 million, and there are only more than 18,700 people with a net worth of more than 100 million US dollars.

On average, there is not one in 10,000 people, and that is a real "one in a million".

……

Of course, LISA will not let James's dream come true, negotiations, of course, are asking for a sky-high price, and pay back the money on the spot.

"Mr. James, if you can solve the global trademark registration problem first, then I can not hesitate to pull out a check and fill in the figure of 80 million US dollars. ”

LISA SAID WITH A SMILE ON HER FACE, BUT JAMES'S WORDS WERE NOT RIDICULOUS.

Damn, I knew that the other party would make a fuss about this.

James secretly grumbled in his heart.

"Miss Lisa, this is just an estimate, and obviously you are aware of the problems Supreme is facing. But please note that it is because of this problem that I will consider selling Supreme. If it weren't for this problem, eighty million, you might not be able to buy Supreme. ”

James said-for-tat, and when it comes to money, he has also become very shrewd and unambiguous.

Sometimes, a negotiation can get stuck at a certain point and it is normal to go back and forth for months.

BUT LISA DOESN'T WANT AND CAN'T DRAG IT OUT INDEFINITELY, BECAUSE SHE KNOWS WANG YE'S CHARACTER, AND SOMETIMES SHE WOULD RATHER SUFFER A LITTLE MORE THAN SHE LOSES, BUT ALSO QUICKLY CUT THROUGH THE MESS AND SOLVE THE PROBLEM QUICKLY.

"THEN, MR. JAMES, WHY DON'T YOU HEAR ABOUT THE TREATMENT WE WILL GIVE YOU AFTER THE FOUNDATION ACQUIRES THE COMPANY?" LISA SAID IN A ROUNDABOUT WAY, BYPASSING THE DIRECT NEGOTIATION OF THE PRICE.

James stretched out his right hand and said gracefully, "Of course, Miss LSIA, please speak." ”

&nbe, Mr. James will be appointed to continue to serve as the CEO of the company, and you will be in charge of all day-to-day affairs except for major issues of the company. An annual salary of $2 million and a total of 20% of the shares will be granted to you, with gradual incentives over a period of 10 years. ”

LISA SPOKE OUT ABOUT THE TREATMENT THAT WOULD BE GIVEN TO JAMES.

This treatment is not not generous, not to mention the power for the time being, just talk about the remuneration in hand.

If calculated on a ten-year basis, it is a total of 20 million US dollars plus 20% of the shares!

&nbe $80 million market value, which means that after the company was bought by Euroemperor Fund, half of the company was gradually returned to James within ten years!

$20 million is 25% of the company's stake value, plus 20% of the stake, equals 45% of Supreme's market capitalization, of course, the current market capitalization.

Of course James is excited, where to find such a good thing?

However, this European Emperor Fund is too generous, why would it give itself such good conditions?

"These ...... Is it all true? I mean, it's going to be written into the acquisition agreement. James asked hesitantly.

"Hehe, of course, it will not be written in the acquisition agreement, but in the employment agreement, and such a generous remuneration is certainly not given unconditionally. That requires you to continue to work hard to run the company well, Mr. James, and of course, the fund will not give Supreme a task that is difficult for Supreme to achieve, but a reasonable annual increase. ”

This is also how it should be, no capitalist will give a large sum of money to his subordinates for nothing.

In other words, in order to get these things, James still has to put in the time and energy to run Supreme, and the better the company runs, the smoother he can get this generous reward.

"So, the offer that our foundation gave Supreme was $45 million. LISA SAID DRYLY.

She first threw out the attractive enough pay, and then quoted a low price, which made it difficult for James to choose.

No matter how he calculated, he thought it was quite a good deal.

The 80 million offer, he never thought he could really get it.

In fact, his psychological price is 60 million US dollars.

Who knows, the other party did not bargain with him at all, but directly threw out a whole set of extremely tempting plans.

$45 million in cash, plus 20% options, plus $20 million in installments, is more than James' psychological price.

And, in the months since the lawsuit, this is also the most sincere offer James has received.

It's not like no one has hit the idea of Supreme.

Last month, there was also a clothing company in the United States, which wanted to take advantage of the fire and offered James a price of 10 million.

He also said in a condescending tone that Supreme is almost finished, and it can only be the home market of the United States, so it is only worth so much money!

And after the acquisition of the company, the top management has to roll up and get out!

At that time, James threw the quotation in the face of the representative of the other party.

He would rather close his doors and go out of business than suffer such humiliation.

Now, the whole set of acquisition plans proposed by LSIA has made James feel what respect and sincerity are!

"I have to say that I was touched by the sincerity of your fund, and I wish us a happy cooperation!"

James said with a hearty smile, holding out his right hand.

LISA SMILED, STRETCHED OUT HER HAND, AND SHOOK HANDS WITH JAMES, WHICH WAS AN AGREEMENT.

Now that he has become a partner, James is even more honest, and he asks with concern: "Miss Lisa, the problem that Supreme is facing now, I think your fund knows about it, is there any solution?" That Kemora family is so hateful!

Now that he has a backer, James has the guts.

He had forgotten how he had trembled when he was alone against the Kmorrah family.

During the lawsuit, James went to the security company to sign a security agreement and hired six personal bodyguards. Two people work in a shift, 24 hours to protect him.

Even now, outside his office, there are two heavily armed bodyguards.

This can't be blamed for his worry, the mafia is powerful, and the people of Europe and the United States understand it......

However, after learning about the background of the European Emperor Fund, James began to get ready to give the Kemora family a little color.

Let the other party know what the fate of bullying yourself is!

"It's a simple question, Mr. James, just wait, and you'll see the results soon. LISA SAID WITH A SMILE.

Although she didn't know how Wang Ye would deal with this problem, she knew that since Wang Ye publicly acquired Supreme, she had already thought about everything.

After cooperating with Wang Ye for several years, LISA has experienced all the plans planned by Wang Ye, and is the specific executor of many big plans.

She is well aware of Wang Ye's style of doing things.

The acquisition of Supreme is the first step in the overall plan.
