Chapter 322: Land Rover is officially yours
Five hours later.
1 p.m. sharp.
Li Hao and Zhou Junpeng are leisurely enjoying the hotel's seafood feast.
Yang Jie walked over with a large pile of documents and materials, sweating profusely: "Boss! I have done all the things you told me to do! I used your identity information to register an offshore company in the Cayman Islands, whose name is Xiaoxue Technology of the United States. The company's account is from a Swiss bank, the company's address is in Silicon Valley, USA, and the address of my rental house is temporarily filled in, and I will modify the registration information after I find a suitable office workplace!"
Li Hao looked at the company's registration documents and said with appreciation: "You are really efficient! I only went to Ford Company in the morning to resign, and now it is only noon, it has only been half a day, and you have done so many things?"
Yang Jie said: "The main reason is that Mr. Cao is on the side to guide me, so as to avoid me from taking a detour! I am not very familiar with company management, but financial management is my specialty! The company is registered in the Cayman Islands, which can be tax-exempt in the United States and China at the same time, and the Swiss bank is the bank with the highest level of confidentiality agreement in the world, and no one can find your account information under any circumstances......
She explained a lot of professional knowledge seriously.
Li Hao and Zhou Junpeng listened with great interest.
Li Hao said: "Don't just stand and say, sit down and eat with us, and talk while eating! I'll ask the waiter to send an extra set of utensils!"
"Thank you boss!"
Yang Jie sat down flattered.
Li Hao asked, "I asked you to go to Apple to deliver the letter in the morning, how is the situation?"
Yang Jie said: "It's delivered!"
Li Hao said: "You confirm that you personally handed over my letter to the president of Apple?"
Yang Jie shook his head and said: "I went to their company, and Jack, the secretary of President Jobs, received me, saying that the president seemed to have gone to the hospital and would return to the company later." He asked me to hand him the letter, and he said he promised to put it on the president's desk, and the president would see it as soon as he returned!"
Li Hao smiled faintly: "It turned out that I went to the hospital! No wonder I haven't replied for so long! It seems that my hand is still a bit heavy this morning!"
At this time, Simpson came with a large group of men.
"Mr. Li Hao of China, it's so good to see you!"
Simpson's enthusiastic attitude is completely different from yesterday!
Li Hao stood up and shook hands with him: "Hello, Mr. Simpson, I don't know what your purpose is for bringing so many people?
Simpson smiled: "Mr. Li Hao, you are really too humorous! They are all the company's legal and secretarial team! I called them all here to formally sign a memorandum of understanding with Mr. Li Hao!"
"The board agreed?"
Li Hao was taken aback.
Although he had expected this result for a long time, he was still very happy to get the confirmed news!
A memorandum of understanding (MoU) is not a formal contract, but an agreement that confirms that the parties will continue to discuss the details of the agreement until the final agreement is signed.
Often, the business cooperation between large companies involves many complex layers and takes a long time, and no final agreement will be signed until the last minute. Therefore, the signing of the memorandum of understanding represents the first half of the agreement, and once this memorandum of understanding is signed, it is equivalent to confirming the transaction!
Simpson smiled: "Mr. Li Hao is really good at negotiating! The board of directors really doesn't want to delay any longer and cause even more losses to the company." Therefore, the board of directors is very interested in Mr. Li Hao's proposal to sign the contract immediately and pay the cash purchase price, and has agreed in principle to your offer of 2 billion. ”
"2 billion? So, the board decided to choose to pay in installments?"
Li Hao was not shocked on the surface, he had long known that the other party would definitely choose to pay in installments! After all, the difference between 1.5 billion and 2 billion was too much!
"Yes, the board of directors is completely unacceptable to the price of 15, but 2 billion is still acceptable! Moreover, the board of directors does not intend to deal with you on the issue of price......
"They know that if they keep thinking about it, they will only lose more. Land Rover loses as much as 60 million a month, and if they start negotiations for a few months for a little price, they won't gain more than they lose!"
"You're so right! That's what the board is concerned about! So they're not going to ask for any more for the price, but...... They made a small request. That's the first installment of the instalment, which must be 50% and be paid within a month of signing the contract!"
"50%? That's a billion dollars?"
"Yes!"
"I remember that the plan I proposed was to pay 500 million first?"
"Mr. Li Hao, you also need to make a little concession, don't you? The board of directors can accept your terms, to be honest, I am very surprised! But $500 million is too little! The board of directors demanded that the first payment must reach $1 billion. If you don't agree, the deal will be null and void! If you are willing to agree, you can sign a memorandum of understanding now, I even brought the company's legal team, just wait for your nod, you can sign the contract immediately! Please think carefully, all the decisions are up to you!"
"Okay! I promised!"
Li Hao thought for a few seconds and readily agreed!
He had driven the Ford board of directors into madness, and even if he hadn't seen the board meeting in person, it was conceivable that they must have had a heated discussion at the meeting, and maybe they could have gotten into a fight.
Don't push too hard!
The board finally made this request, and it was also very reasonable!
After all, $500 million is a drop in the bucket for their company!
They urgently needed a lot of cash to work on new engine technology.
1 billion, then 1 billion!
Zhou Junpeng saw him nodding, and said anxiously: "Xiaohao, we have ...... in our hands."
Li Hao shook his head secretly and motioned for him not to continue in public. When it comes to money, I'll go back and figure it out slowly, but I can't let the people at Ford know that they're short of money.
Only then did Zhou Junpeng retract what he wanted to say.
Simpson saw the slight movement between the two and asked curiously, "Mr. Li Hao, there shouldn't be any problems on your side, right?"
Li Hao said: "No problem! I accept the conditions set by your board of directors! Within a month, we will pay $1 billion in cash! The remaining 1 billion will be paid off in a lump sum after one year! You brought a memorandum of understanding on cooperation, right? Take it, I'll sign it!"
Simpson asked his subordinates to hand over all five contracts, and he himself signed each contract before handing the pen to Li Hao.
Li Hao took a brief look, and then happily signed his name!
Simpson smiled and said, "Mr. Li Hao, congratulations! From now on, Jaguar Land Rover will officially belong to you!"
