Chapter 439: Hands-on
Li Youlun is currently a director of the board of directors of Meigo.com, and also serves as the president of Meigo.com's warehousing and logistics system, and coordinates the management of several major transit warehouses in China.
It can also be said that the real power is in hand.
But since he is not of the same mind with Wang Ye now, and there are signs of rebellion, then Wang Ye can no longer use him with confidence.
Removing him from the management team as soon as possible is the right thing to do.
If it was before, Wang Ye might have considered a careful plan to let Li Youlun take the initiative to quit, try to save face for both parties, and not hurt the peace.
Now the situation is different, a character like Li Youlun is not worth his painstaking layout, just cut through the mess quickly.
Wang Ye beckoned Liu Ruomei to come over, and Liu Ruomei, who was sitting behind him, got up and walked over, bending down to listen to Wang Ye's orders.
Wang Ye whispered a few words, Liu Ruomei nodded quietly, turned around and walked out of the conference room.
No one on the board of directors paid any attention to it, and the discussion about the acquisition of Condé Nast continued.
"The market value of this group is not low, although it is not listed, but it has many heavyweight trump cards, all of which are in the top few of the global magazine rankings. Are we going to buy it with cash? I guess we don't have enough cash. ”
Xu Jing said worriedly.
The online listing of the United States has made a lot of money, more than 10 billion US dollars.
However, it has acquired a lot of shares in Amorepacific and Shiseido, and has spent a lot of money.
The acquisition of the Watsons personal care chain is another big sum of money.
There is not much money left from the listing.
However, Meigou is doing well, especially the Watsons chain, as well as Shiseido and Amore, which provide a large amount of dividends at the end of the year, so the company's cash flow is still very abundant.
"How much money does the company have on its books? Wang Ye asked.
"There are about two billion US dollars, and if you put together the funds of the Watsons chain, it is estimated that you can make up three billion US dollars. Xu Jing replied without thinking.
The Watsons chain is a cash cow that belongs to the retail industry, and its daily sales are timely payment.
In addition, because the settlement contracts signed with various brands are different, some are settled on a quarterly basis, and some are settled on an annual basis, which means that it can also embezzle part of the funds of the brand manufacturer.
The same is true for Meigo.com.
The $3 billion amount that Xu Jing answered already includes funds that can be misappropriated in the short term, and if it is only the company's own funds, it is obviously impossible to have so much.
Wang Ye nodded, three billion US dollars, if you want to buy Condé Nast Group, it is obviously a bit hanging.
Although this group is going downhill as a whole, if you want to buy it as a whole, you must have at least six or seven billion US dollars.
"First form a team, start to investigate the situation of Condé Nast Group, and contact the other party, but also to understand the opinions of the other party's shareholders, maybe they will not sell. Wang Ye said with a smile.
This kind of large-scale merger and acquisition, how can it be so easy.
Because during negotiations, every percentage point represents a huge amount of money of tens of millions of dollars, and everyone must fight for it.
That would take a long time.
A few months is considered a smooth situation, but if it does not go well, it is not impossible to have more than a year or even longer.
Of course, that kind of muddy negotiation is not Wang Ye's style, as long as the other party relaxes, as long as the price is within a reasonable range, Wang Ye likes to choose to exchange money for time.
I'd rather spend tens of millions or even hundreds of millions more, but also get what he wants to do as soon as possible.
Because for Wang Ye, money is easy to earn, but time waits for no one.
He wants to push his career to the top as soon as possible while he can still have enough grasp of the general trend, until no one can challenge.
Otherwise, after March 8, 2018, Wang Ye's advantage will be lost.
So before that, all the problems that can be solved with money are not problems, and Wang Ye will not be stingy with that little money.
……
"There are two ways, one is the overall merger and acquisition, and the other party can choose to take money or issue additional shares on our Meigou network. Of course, in this case, their shareholders can leave, but the operation team and the editorial team must all be left behind for me!"
"The second option is that we have a stake in Condé Nast Group, and we must remember that the shares must be more than 51%, and the chairmanship is held by us, and most of the seats on the board of directors are also ours. ”
Wang Ye stretched out two fingers and said his opinion.
Xu Jing quickly recorded that the acquisition team must be set up by her, and she also wanted to take the lead in the acquisition, and Wang Ye was just giving instructions.
Everyone was discussing the acquisition, the conference room was pushed away, and Liu Ruomei and another person walked in.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, everyone looked up and saw that the person following Liu Ruomei was Li Xin, the company's CFO.
Although Li Xin is a senior executive of the company, he has not entered the board of directors, why did Liu Ruomei call him over, could it be that Wang Ye asked Li Xin to come over and report on the company's financial situation?
Under everyone's puzzled gaze, Li Xin came to Wang Ye's side, handed over a document, and bent down to whisper a few words in Wang Ye's ear.
Wang Ye nodded, his face unchanged.
After Li Xin finished speaking, he turned around and left the conference room, no one saw it, and when he walked out of the room and closed the door with his backhand, he glanced at Li Youlun meaningfully.
Wang Ye reached out and opened the document that Li Xin had taken and looked through it carefully.
At first, everyone continued to discuss the acquisition, but they didn't know what was going on, everyone's voices became smaller and quieter, and in the end, the conference room was completely quiet, and only the sound of Wang Ye looking through the information was left.
The atmosphere in the conference room was a little depressing, perhaps because they noticed something, everyone was sitting in danger, looking at their noses and noses, and their noses and hearts, keeping their mouths shut, waiting for Wang Ye to speak.
This is Wang Ye's aura!
With the rise of his net worth, the aura he invisibly exudes has become more and more powerful.
The aura is a mysterious thing, but it is real.
To give you a very simple example, when you face a big leader or an old horse or a pony, you know who they are, or you simply do things under them.
It is conceivable that normal people will definitely maintain a respectful attitude and dare not show any frivolity.
Maybe they don't care, but you're going to ask yourself to pay a little more attention.
After about ten minutes, Wang Ye finished reading the information in his hand, raised his head, and looked at Li Youlun with his eyes.
Seeing him like this, Li Youlun felt a little empty, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile in response, but he didn't speak.
