Chapter 575: 3G Capital

……

"Everyone, don't you mind if I join in?" Guo Shouyun said with a smile after stopping.

"Of course, it was an honor for us to be able to chat with Mr. Guo. ”

Jorge Paolo Lehman, dressed in a brown suit, replied with a smile on his face.

"You're welcome. After glancing at the obese middle-aged man next to him, Guo Shouyun said with a smile, "The topic that can make Mr. Fersen, and the three of them interested, must be related to beer." …… Mr. Lehman, I guessed right, right?"

Jorge Paul Lehman, Marcel, Beto, the founder of the world-famous 3G capital, the Iron Triangle. Starting from the annexation of Antarctica Beer and the creation of American beverages, to the later acquisition of Interbleu, the merger of Anheuserbusch and South African Miller to become the world's largest brewer, to the annexation of Burger King and Tim Horton, to become a global catering and beverage giant, and then to the holding of Kraft and Heinz, becoming the top company in the global food industry.

In less than 20 years, the 3G capital controlled by the three of them has created an amazing business empire with assets of more than 300 billion US dollars through superb capital operation and admirable corporate management skills.

In the previous life, Guo Shouyun had read their biography and news more than once, and was very convinced of the business philosophy of 3G Capital. However, even if you can't turn them into your own subordinates, there is still a lot of cooperation between the two sides.

Guo Shouyun's words made the eyes of the four of them change. Standing in front of him at this moment, the young man with a smile on his face is a capital giant with a global reputation, if he joins in to disrupt the situation, then the things planned by several people will definitely have twists and turns, and there is even the possibility of failure.

"Mr. Guo is also interested in the beer industry?"

Claudio Fersen, chief operating officer of Interblue Brewery, asked.

"Of course! Beer is a fast-moving consumer goods industry, with plenty of liquidity and good profits. This is especially true for top international beer companies such as Interblue and American Beverages. ”

American Beverage belongs to 3G Capital, which was just established this year, and Lehman, Marcel and Beto are the largest partners of 3G Capital, not to mention Claudio Fersson.

Looking at the expressions on the faces of the four people that gradually became serious, Guo Shouyun suddenly smiled, "Although I am personally interested in the beer industry. But now that I have enough businesses, I can't afford to manage a big beer company, so there's no need to be nervous. ”

The four Lehman breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't let their guard down either. The man in front of him is too financially powerful, and he also likes mergers and acquisitions, who knows if what he said is true?!

"Mr. Guo, you had a good chat with Mr. Roberto just now, I don't know what to talk about?" Beto decisively changed the topic. It's a pity that Guo Shouyun knows very well what his purpose is, and of course he won't just give up.

"It's just some entertainment topic. … Four, although I don't have much interest in managing a large beer company, I don't mind investing. So, if the four of them are willing, Phoenix Bank is willing to invest in Interblue and American Beverages. ”

After a pause, Guo Shouyun pointed out: "Of course, if the two can be merged, it would be really good." I, Phoenix Bank, are willing to provide detailed financial solutions. ”

"I don't know where Mr. Guo got the news, we are going to merge?" Lehman asked after several people looked at each other.

"I'm just guessing, Mr. Lehman is too sensitive. ”

Having said that, Guo Shouyun, who has memories of his past life, is sure that the contact between Interblue and American Beverage must have begun, but it is not yet known to what extent the negotiations between the two sides have progressed.

“… But don't you think my proposal is a good one? Interblue is the world's third-largest brewer, while American Beverages is the world's fifth-largest and South America's largest brewer, and the combination could overtake South Africa's Miller and Anheuserbusch to become the world's largest brewer. And in this way, the goodwill of both parties, as well as the confidence of the capital market in the new company, is a big boost. Guo Shouyun continued.

"Mr. Guo's proposal is indeed very tempting. But Your Excellency must have your own purpose by being so active, right?" Beto said suddenly.

Guo Shouyun smiled indifferently, everyone is a smart person, and he has no intention of hiding his purpose.

"Of course, I would like Phoenix to support this merger, and we would like to take a stake in the new company. Of course, we do not require a controlling stake, but simply an investment, and the stake will not exceed 15%. ”

"There are so many great companies in the world, why would Mr. Guo be interested in Interblue and American beverages?" Marcel asked.

"I'm not interested in Interblue or American Beverages, but the three and the core talents of 3G Capital. In addition, I personally appreciate your company's corporate culture of 'putting people first, empowering them to dream big, and maintaining meritocracy'. Guo Shouyun said.

"Mr. Guo's praise is exciting, and I am very pleased that you agree with our business philosophy and corporate culture. However, our 3G investments have not always been successful...!"

Guo Shouyun interrupted: "If Mr. Lehman is talking about the failure of Gallantia Bank, then I think it is not strictly a mistake of leadership, but a lack of management. Had it not been for the fact that Mr. Lehman was unable to perform his duties due to illness, and that Mr. Beto had devoted all his energies to the store in the Americas, while Mr. Marcel had been busy with the operation of Bolang beer, Haddad and Val would not have made such a bold bet on a 'repurchase agreement on the stock market'. Also, I think they're a bit unlucky, if it weren't for the Asian financial crisis, I'm afraid Gallantia Investment Bank wouldn't have collapsed so easily!"

"I didn't expect Mr. Guo to know us so well!" Lehman began.

"Actually, I'm following the three, Gallantia Investment Bank, Americas Store, Bolang Beer, and the newly established 3G Capital. It is this long-term focus that has given me a clear and deep understanding of the business talents, management skills and investment strategies of the three men. If I hadn't thought it was unlikely, I would have personally come to the door and poached three of them to our Phoenix Bank, or any company under my umbrella, that you want to go to as executives. ”

Lehman, Marcel, and Beto exchanged glances, unable to determine whether the value of each other's words was true or false. But in any case, this kind of sincere sounding words of cherishing talents are really very touching!
