Chapter 310: The heart is as hard as iron
If it had been a few months ago, Felipe would not have said the latter sentence because he knew that the other party could not have had so much cash. However, he knew that the other party now had far more cash in his hands, and it was not difficult to come up with this amount of money at all. Although she has spent a lot of money on the acquisition of assets in the former Soviet Union during this time.
In addition to tossing in the Russian Federation, Mayoni's hand is now stretched out, and in addition to tossing in the Russian Federation, she has also extended to other independent former Soviet republics, buying heavy machinery factories, shipyards, electronic processing plants, instrument factories and research institutes in Ukraine, Armenia, Belarus and other places.
Unlike Felipe, this girl is also unique in terms of acquisitions, and she seems to be not interested in the resource companies that everyone is optimistic about, such as oil mines, iron mines, etc. I don't know if it's because she's really stupid, if it's because these resources will bring huge profits, or because she's troublesome. Compared with the acquisition of enterprises, the negotiation of the acquisition of oil and iron ore mines is much more difficult.
Because oil mines and iron ore involve huge territory, the amount of invisible storage underground, and more importantly, these mines also involve the fundamental interests of the state, and there are many negotiation objects, and the negotiation of an oil mine cannot be negotiated without a few months of tug-of-war. And the acquisition of a company, in many cases, only takes a week, because now these newly established countries need money, and these enterprises are currently in a half-dead state, which is a burden for the newly established government, and they wish that someone would take over, as long as the price is fair and there is cash, everything is easy to do.
Listening to Felipe's words, Mayoni did not refuse too much this time, nor did she sneer, but said while taking his text: "As long as your offer is fair, as long as you cooperate with us to speed up the negotiations." The handover of procedures is swift and we will pay cash within three days from the date of signing the contract. ”
She opened the text, glanced at the list inside, and said, "We will pay a maximum of 150 million US dollars." ”
"Ah——, how is that possible? Felipe blurted out, "At least $260 million." ”
What frustrated Felipe was. Mayoni gently closed the text, handed it to him, and said, "According to my investigation, you only spent 180 million US dollars to buy these companies, real estate or something. Considering that Russia's economy is so bad now, and that there may be social unrest in the future, there is an unpredictable risk, so ......"
Felipe's eyes widened and he asked, "You...... You've investigated our business practices?...... Are you sure we're going to have your help someday?"
Mayoni said lightly: "I don't know if it's accurate or not." I just know that since you want to negotiate, you have to get to know each other first. Come to think of it, I'm the CEO of East-JM Investment Bank. Since I came forward to talk to you, it is the last word of the two bank executives, if we don't investigate your business, will I dare to come forward and talk to you? If I am so hasty, my boss will fire me at the first time. ”
Felipe said dissatisfiedly, "You guys have gone too far....... Fifteen million dollars is too little! You know, we're buying these companies. However, it took a lot of other actions and countless government officials and business executives to get there. The money we spent on these actions was not reflected in the acquisition contract,...... And this price is obtained after price reduction, and the real price of the enterprise must be much higher than this purchase price. ”
Although Felipe didn't say it too clearly, Mayoni knew that he was implying that they must have spent a lot of money to bribe those in power in order to buy these companies in the former Soviet Union. The officials who got the money must have opened a back door for them and sold the business cheaply. Maybe a business that would have been worth ten million dollars was sold to them for only five million or even two million.
Mayoni nodded and said, "First of all, on behalf of us at East-JM Investment Bank, I would like to thank you for your efforts in the early stage. Secondly, I want to make it clear that we see how much effort you have made. Seeing that we have worked together, we are willing to pay $150 million to buy your businesses and real estate. ”
Felipe was almost so angry that she vomited blood, are you thanking me or are you laughing at me? You have gained so many benefits, you should always return the money to us, right? Aside from our bribes, aside from our labor costs, you should also give us the amount on the contract.
Seeing Felipe's angry appearance, Mayoni seemed to be unbearable, and said, "Add five million dollars, one hundred and fifty million dollars." …… , we won't talk about any more. ”
Although he was very angry at the other party's price reduction, Felipe, who didn't want to make a wedding dress for others in vain, continued to work hard, he opened the text, pointed to the first company and said: "Miss Mayoni, these assets are really far more than the price on the books. If you look at this machine factory, it is full of high-grade large-scale precision machining equipment, and just a few major pieces of equipment are more than seven million dollars.
Let's tell you the truth, we gave a few leaders in charge and a few local officials $300,000 each, and also sent several beautiful girls for them to sleep in, and they agreed. This company dismantled the equipment and sold it for nothing, and sold the raw materials that were crushed in it as scrap, which also cost more than 20 million US dollars, not including factories and land ......."
Mayonie frowned and said, "...... That's why I thank you for your efforts on behalf of our bank. …… You know, we've been approached by several investors and banks to resell their previous acquisitions to us or something, and we're really overwhelmed. We don't have so much money to buy, and we don't have so many people to manage. …… By the way, Mr. Felipe, we have 155 million dollars and one more condition, which is that I need your bank to be an investment expert and a management expert......"
"No way! you're trying to swallow up our bank......" Felipe jumped up like a cat with its tail stepped on, her eyes red glaring at the smiling Mayonie.
Mayoni said calmly, "I'm here for your good." Think about it, can your bank continue to operate normally under the current circumstances? Layoffs and downsizing are certain? Those experts who have been running around with you must be desperate now, and they know that they will soon be fired, and if you take the initiative to arrange for them to come to our bank now, you say, will they be grateful to you?
…… Actually, even if you don't do it, as long as we spread the word that we are recruiting experienced experts with high salaries, they will rush to come over, and they will thank you when they come? ”
For some reason, Felipe suddenly felt a chill on him, and the beautiful girl in front of him transformed into a rattlesnake spitting a letter in his mind.
He felt that he had been bitten by this poisonous snake, and the muscles in his body began to melt, his nerves began to numb, and his hands and feet no longer obeyed......
I don't know how long it took for him to come to his senses. Feeling that the funds he had to prepare were too different from the price quoted by Mayonie, he gritted his teeth and took out another document and said, "This is a large crude oil mine that we have only negotiated last month when several of our companies joined forces. I would like to sell you the shares owned by our bank...... Hopefully, you will be able to acquire these shares for the amount of the contract. I can show you all the relevant contracts and background information......"
There is no way, in order not to go bankrupt and not jump off the building, Felipe is out of the way, and even the extremely secret negotiation materials and secret contracts are ready to be taken out. But Mayoni was not moved by the other party's pitiful appearance, she didn't look at the other party's text, and said: "I'm sorry, we are not interested in the mineral resources project." You used to be a shareholder of our bank, you should know what we are taboo about, not to mention the oil mines that have not yet produced oil, you are the gold mine that you are producing gold in large quantities, and we at East-JM Investment Bank will not invest in the acquisition. ”
Felipe said almost viciously, "This is a treasure." …… The experts in charge of the exploration of this oil field have assured me that the reserves of the oil field are more than 100 million tons, and I have asked the experts to strictly examine their exploration data. ...... in the future"
Mayoni was also excited in her heart, but remembering Jiang Xinwei's words, she still held back her greed and said, "I'm sorry, we really don't need oil fields, and we don't have management experts in this area." You'd better talk to someone else. ”
Felipe was frustrated and strange, wondering why the other party was so reluctant to mineral resources. Little did he know that the largest shareholder of East-JM Investment Bank had already banned Mayonie. He didn't even know that the amount of oil storage they had was too large to scare her. If the storage capacity of this oil field is not hundreds of millions of tons, she is likely to invest a little money in it, play with other investors, see what will happen in the future, and see what Jiang Xinwei is worried about in his heart. It's a big deal, when the time comes, you will pay for these losses yourself.
In her view, investing in mineral resources here is definitely a matter of great profit, the former Soviet Union and Russia are huge land areas, mineral resources, both mineral resources and forest resources are incomparable to other countries. With the development of society, these resources must become more and more valuable, why is Jiang Xinwei unwilling to participate?
Seeing that Mayoni was determined not to want oilfield shares, Felipe had no choice but to take back the text in frustration and renegotiate with her about those companies and real estate.
In the end, he was forced to accept the low price offered by the other party and left in despair.
"Jingle Bell ......" Looking at Felipe's rickety back, Mayoni also had a trace of pity, but before she could grieve for the other party, the telephone on the table rang.
