Chapter 566: Big Shark
Wang Haoan and Jiang Yurou played in the United States for two days, and on the third day, they received a call from Dumas.
"Mr. Wang, we have made a few choices, can you come and take a look? or I will go to you. ”
"I'm in Los Angeles, can you come over?"
"Mr. Wang is in Los Angeles? That's all a coincidence, I have a choice, and I happen to be in California. If Mr. Wang is free in the evening, we will see you in Los Angeles, or tomorrow. ”
"Tomorrow. ”
The next morning, Dumas knocked on Wang Haoan's hotel door.
"Mr. Wang, Mrs. Wang, these are the three chain pizza restaurants that I have selected according to your requirements that are worth investing in, and the one in the red folder is located in California. ”
Wang Haoan opened the document and found that it was still in Chinese and English, so he pulled out the Chinese and handed it to Jiang Yurou to read the English one himself.
It's just that what makes him embarrassed is that there are some professional terms in it, which he can't understand very well, so he can only guess, but fortunately it doesn't delay his understanding.
The California pizza chain is headquartered in Sacramento, with all 63 locations in California, all in cities.
And this pizzeria is going downhill, at its peak, more than 100 stores, in the past three years because the boss passed away, the successor son did not know how to manage, resulting in a continuous decline in efficiency, closed a lot of stores, although now not loss, but the profit is very small.
It's just that this price makes Wang Haoan not very satisfied. A company that has gone downhill actually wants to sell for 20 million dollars, is this a money grab?
The cost of a pizza shop Wang Haoan had learned before, at this time, about 200,000 US dollars, this direct offer of more than 300,000 US dollars.
Of course, it is normal for a profitable company to be acquired, and the price is higher, but this company is not very profitable at all, and it is unreasonable to want to sell for so much money as the situation deteriorates.
The second option is in Texas, also a chain with seventy-one stores, and the offer is also $20 million. This is in good business condition, the past two years is in a stable period, there are stores closed, there are new stores opened, the following is shown in bold font, this store has broken out of health problems, the boss is a partnership of three brothers, and now I want to break up to do something else.
There is also a chain in two states, New York and New Jersey, with one hundred and three stores and an offer of $40 million. This price is too expensive, and Wang Haoan can take out 40 million US dollars, but looking at the company's profits, Wang Haoan chose to directly exclude it.
"Mr. Wang, these three meet your requirements, and the funds are also within your affordability. My advice is that it works best by choosing stars in those states as partners. ”
"For example, this one in California, because it is close to Los Angeles, so there are a lot of choices in terms of movie stars, sports stars, there are also basketball teams, baseball teams, football teams, etc., and there are some sports stars from other events who train here every year, and many of them are customers of our Huaqi Bank. ”
Wang Hao moved with peace of mind: "Shaq O'Neal, who plays basketball in Los Angeles, can you get in touch?"
"No problem, he happens to be a customer of our bank. And he's now the league's favorite star, loved by fans, signed a big contract, and has enough money to invest. ”
Wang Haoan turned his head to look at Jiang Yurou: "What do you think of these three families?"
Jiang Yurou smiled and said, "Don't you already have a choice? You decide, I don't understand these at all." ”
When she saw Wang Haoan's expression, she knew that Wang Haoan already had a tendency, so why bother talking about it?
"Have you communicated with Madame? Then I'll contact O'Neill's agent and see if I can communicate as soon as possible. By the way, this is just the other party's offer, we can help reduce the price, please rest assured Mr. Wang. ”
At least $10 million in business, according to the minimum commission of one percent, also exceeds $100,000. Of course, this amount is not high for Dumas, and he may maintain a good relationship with Wang Haoan, and he will definitely get more in the future.
Dumas left, and in the afternoon, he called Wang Haoan: "Mr. Wang, are you interested in the basketball game? O'Neill is back to play today, and he is willing to give us a few tickets in the front row. ”
Wang Haoan discussed with Jiang Yurou and replied, "Okay, then thank you, what time is it?"
"It officially starts at nine o'clock in the evening, and if Mr. Wang is interested, I can just go to the hotel to pick up the two of them. ”
"No, let's meet at the stadium, I've got a rental car. ”
Wang Haoan not only rented a car, but also hired bodyguards. Even in Los Angeles, it's not so safe at night, and it's dangerous even during the day.
Asians, in particular, are the target of many blacks, because Asians like to carry cash, and the most common cash in the United States is ten dollars, and if it is more than a hundred dollars, they will swipe the card or use the check.
After dinner, two bodyguards drove to the hotel to pick them up and drive to the stadium.
In the parking lot of the arena, I met Dumas and O'Neill's agent, Perry Rogers.
"Mr. Wang, Mrs. Wang, hello. Do you want to sit in the box or sit in the front row?"
"Front row. "Now the Lakers are still the old arena, and it is not the future stapler arena, and the box is not good, so I still sit in the front row and watch cool.
And there are often some American stars in the front row, some of whom really like to watch football, and some of whom are purely just to brush their faces, so that they can rub a live TV broadcast by the way and maintain their popularity.
"Okay, the game won't start in a while, Shaq has borrowed a break room in the arena, you can talk first. We are very interested in this cooperation, but the specific details will be discussed slowly. ”
"No problem. ”
I didn't feel anything when I watched O'Neill on TV, but after watching it up close, I realized that he really looked like a giant.
"Hey, Wang, do you want to play two balls with me?" O'Neal was still clutching a basketball in his hand.
"Are you going to destroy my basketball dream, the youngest of the top 50 superstars?" Wang Haoan put on a helpless look.
"Hahahaha, Wang, I like you, I can let you cover me one. O'Neill laughed, did even the Huaxia people know about his honor?
Turning around, O'Neill said to his agent Rogers: "I want to work with Wang, I believe in him." ”
Rogers is a little helpless, O'Neill is like this, he often thinks that others are good people because of a compliment from others, but we are talking about business, you don't want me to fight for the greater good for you?
It's not an endorsement for a pizza place, it's an investment. Forget it, when negotiating, he will not let go, and the interests that should be fought for must be sought, which is also related to his own interests.
