Chapter 848: Creating the Future (Finale)
Li Dafu only counted the shares of Jili Automobile, which was able to borrow 20 billion RMB, or 3 billion US dollars.
In fact, he also calculated Huaan Company, the amount of money invested by this company is not small, and now there are many achievements, but if it is mortgaged, it is only about one billion dollars, and the bank has to consider the risk.
Four billion dollars, this is all the money they can scrape together, does Wang Haoan still have to mortgage his other assets? But in the past few years, Wang Haoan's other industries have also expanded overseas, and the debt ratio of some companies is not low, so the bank may not necessarily agree to mortgage it, right?
Li Dafu doesn't know how many assets Wang Haoan has, Forbes's assessment, the richest man in Asia is still Li Chaoren, and his net worth last year was 26.5 billion US dollars, ranking 11th in the world.
Wang Haoan's net worth is estimated to be only 20 billion US dollars, ranking 23rd in the world and second in Asia. But in the second half of last year, affected by the global financial crisis, the net worth of all the rich shrank.
Warren Buffett, the stock god who ranked first last year and has a net worth of $62 billion, has shrunk his assets to $37 billion this year, and Bill Gates, who ranked third last year, has a net worth of $58 billion to $40 billion, but he has regained the throne of the richest man.
Wang Haoan's net worth has not changed, it is still 20 billion US dollars, because most of his assets are not listed stocks of the company, and the impact is slightly smaller.
With a net worth of $20 billion, Wang Haoan has changed from the twenty-third in the world to the seventh in the world, and has also surpassed Li Chaoren and become the richest man in Asia.
But most of Wang Haoan's assets are company shares, and this realization is not easy. Now that the global financial industry has been hit and loan reviews have become more stringent, how much money can Wang Haoan raise?
A billionaire with a net worth of 20 billion may not even be able to take out 2 billion funds, even if Li Dafu makes his shares shrink again for the development of the company, he feels that he can't make up enough money, right?
"Mr. Li, I now ask you, if the acquisition of Vorvo Automobile Business causes your shareholding ratio to shrink again, can you accept it?" Wang Haoan looked at Li Dafu seriously.
Li Dafu nodded solemnly: "I have discussed this matter with a few of them, and we can accept it, but our position cannot be changed, and our voting rights cannot be reduced too much." ”
They can accept that Wang Haoan's shares will increase again, but they can't accept Wang Haoan's absolute control, and the company was founded by Li Dafu after all.
"Okay, I want sixty-six percent of the voting rights, and the rest of you will split proportionally. The company can borrow $3 billion, and then issue $4 billion in additional shares, you can also subscribe for some, and I will take the rest. ”
Isn't it four billion US dollars, Wang Haoan can easily take out this money, and he doesn't need a mortgage. His funds in the U.S. hedge fund have already exceeded $5 billion and are still growing.
Forbes can count the assets of many wealthy people in relatively small industries, but for Wang Haoan, a wealthy person with diversified investments and a large number of unlisted companies, Forbes's statistics have a big problem.
In fact, in the world, there are many rich people who disdain the Forbes list, and there are many who attach great importance to this list, and have announced to the media that Forbes's statistics are problematic and his assets are undercounted by billions of dollars.
And Mr. Wang, who owns China's fastest-growing market today, will continue to grow rapidly in the coming years, much faster than those in the United States.
In Wang Haoan's eyes, in the next three years, the only people who can compete with him for the richest man in the world are Buffett and Gates, and Carlos can't.
And those Internet bigwigs in the future, their net worth has not risen yet, and even if they do, they will raise Wang Haoan's net worth at the same time, because Wang Haoan's investment companies in the United States also directly or indirectly hold the shares of these companies.
Those who ridicule Wang Haoan for being stupid and have a lot of money and investing indiscriminately in the Internet industry will be slapped in the face in the future. In fact, there was such a statement last year that if it weren't for the financial crisis, their faces would have been swollen long ago.
In fact, if additional shares are issued, it is more appropriate to issue additional shares to some peers, which can gather everyone's advantages and make Geely develop better.
But the other side will definitely ask for voting rights. Wang Haoan has already made concessions, as long as the 66 percent voting power cannot be reduced again, then the voting power of Li Dafu and others will be reduced.
So Wang Haoan didn't mention this matter, and left it to Li Dafu to think about it. Anyway, in any case, it is impossible for his shareholding ratio to be reduced, and his voting rights will not be reduced.
And once Li Dafu has any other thoughts, Wang Haoan can completely acquire the shares of other shareholders at a high price, so as to complete the absolute control of more than two-thirds of the voting rights and completely kick Li Dafu out.
After the two agreed, the next day, Li Dafu led the team to negotiate with Voerwo, hoping to acquire the car brand, including its passenger car technology and other assets.
Wang Haoan also invited people from the Rothschild family in Europe, which can be regarded as having cooperated with Wang Haoan more than once, and now it is also acting as an agent for Huadiao Wine's business in Europe.
Their family is most famous for being intermediaries. It's expensive, but it's going to make a move.
There are also two competitors in the acquisition of Woerwo, one is Dezhong and the other is Ford, both of them are interested in some of the world's top technologies of Woerwo, hoping to apply them to their other models, so as to make up for their own technical shortcomings and complete upgrades.
But the offer of both companies is not high, about $6 billion, although it may be a little higher, but it is not too high. After Li Dafu went, he directly quoted an offer of $6.5 billion, which immediately attracted the shareholders of Woerwo.
As a giant company in Sweden alongside Erison and HM, Vorvo has not had a good time recently, with a serious decline in passenger car sales, and some car loans cannot be recovered, and many lenders have gone bankrupt.
They need a sum of money that can be used to increase their share of the commercial vehicle segment while slimming down the company and increasing profit margins.
The two sides talked for a long time, and then Dezhong and Ford both raised their offers, and Ford even raised it to 6.8 billion US dollars, but it still failed, and Geely Automobile successfully acquired all the assets of Woerwo Automobile Company, which was spun off from Woerwo Group, for 4.68 billion euros (about 6.5 billion US dollars).
Because Geely Automobile has also promised to establish a joint venture with Woerwo Group in mainland China to establish a commercial vehicle production base and help sales promotion.
The two sides also cooperate in many fields such as engines, gearboxes, and on-board electronic systems, which is what Woerwo Group values the most.
Ford's offer was high, but Ford asked for a deferral of payment, because Ford's assets were insufficient, and in this financial crisis, Ford suffered heavy losses and was almost bankrupt, and they were even selling some car brand assets.
The Woerwo Group does not want its brand to be ruined by Ford. What's more, with the development and growth of Geely Automobile, the popularity of the Woerwo brand will definitely become higher and higher, and the Woerwo Group is taking advantage.
After they learned that the major shareholder of Jili Automobile was Wang Haoan, the world's top richest man, they completed the sale of the company even more happily.
Even HM, another giant in Sweden, also contacted Anjie Holdings through that team, hoping that the two sides would cooperate in clothing and other aspects for common development.
HM, as a clothing retail giant in the European market, is also the top in the world, and Wang Haoan is naturally willing to cooperate. The company is both popular and price-oriented, with boutiques in major European cities.
Last year, it tentatively entered the Huaxia market, and the performance was very average, and now it is willing to hand over the sales agent of Huaxia to Anjie Holdings, and at the same time help AnJie Holdings' clothing brand to be promoted in Europe, and the two sides are mutually beneficial.
As for who can develop better in the end, it depends on their respective abilities, anyway, Wang Haoan is very confident, at least in the Chinese market, Anjie Holdings is the absolute clothing overlord.
The European market is larger and more developed than the Chinese market, but the potential of the Chinese market is greater, and it is not necessarily who takes advantage of it, it depends on the future development.
Wang Haoan never thought that the acquisition of Woerwo Automobile Company could also help AnJie Holdings' clothing sales expand channels by the way.
As for the fact that the result of the negotiation was a little different from what he expected, and that he would continue to make an additional investment for the joint venture with Voerwo Group, Wang Haoan had no opinion at all.
It seems that the Woerwo Group has taken advantage of it, and it is better to gain a firm foothold in Huaxia, the fastest growing and best market for automobiles today, but in fact, the Woerwo Group can also have joint ventures with other state-owned car companies in Huaxia, and it is interested in more than one.
After all, in the field of commercial vehicles, Woerwo Group is the world's top.
With the money from the sale of Woerwo Automobile Company, the Voervo Group acquired two commercial vehicle companies, including Renault Trucks of the Renault Nissan Alliance, and it is clear that it is focusing on the truck field.
In order to facilitate the joint venture, Wang Haoan's stake in Jili Automobile has increased a lot, and many people have begun to call Wang Haoan an an automobile giant.
Because no one has such a high proportion of equity in a world-class automobile company, Wang Haoan is the only one.
Others have a high equity ratio in the company model and a high equity ratio in the family model, but no individual has invested so much money.
To the surprise of many people, Wang Haoan's investment in the automobile industry is not his main asset, because Wang Haoan did not serve as the chairman of this company, but served as the chairman of the investment company.
From the degree of attention paid to Wang Haoan, it can be seen which part is Wang Haoan's core assets.
When Woerwo Automobile began to put into production in the Chinese market, many of Anjie Holdings' brand stores also blossomed in the European market.
On this day, Wang Haoan announced to the company's employees: "I am retiring, and I look forward to you to create our own future!"
