Chapter 1300: Throw the bones out, let's chase them!
No matter how unhappy Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs are with the Bank of America, they can only accept the status quo, although they are curious about what the interest rate offered by the Bank of America on the loan, but neither Andy Smith nor Lewis will tell them the truth, just as they will not tell each other.
No one thought that Andy Smith's overdue was a joke, so after they left the Gaia Building, they quickly returned to their respective companies to report and mobilize funds to prepare, so that the money lent out would still be in his bank accounts without Andy Smith using it.
On the morning of November 5th, in the conference room on the 31st floor of the Gaia Building, Andy leisurely took a sip of coffee, watching the busy five-party personnel confirm the details of the contract.
After confirming that it was correct, Andy picked up the pen and signed his name, although there were more than 40 people in the entire conference room, but the conference room was quiet and could hear the last light sound of the pen.
Documents are exchanged and signed, like a delicacy in front of you.
After the document was signed, the four bank representatives opened the laptops in front of them, the screen lit up, and remained on the transfer page, and after the four treasurers of Andy's think tank confirmed the account number and amount respectively, the transfer began.
Alvitatre looked at the laptop screen in front of him, waiting for the information to arrive, and after about two or three minutes, Andy's phone began to buzz, and the text message prompt sounded, and he took out his phone and looked at the text message, with a satisfied smile on his face.
At this time, Al also closed the notebook, nodded at Andy, and Andy shook hands with the four bank representatives with a bright smile.
"Happy working together!"
"Happy working together!"
。。。。。。
"Then let's get down to business!"
After the greetings, Andy was not selling, and it was time to officially launch the acquisition plan, and the three allies he selected had a lot of experience in hostile mergers and acquisitions, especially Goldman Sachs.
As soon as Andy's voice fell, including his own representatives of Yingtai Bank, they began to look forward to it, not to mention the representatives of the other three banks, in fact, they also knew that the next cooperation was nothing more than mergers and acquisitions, and the key was the scale of the acquisition target, the larger the scale, the more commissions they could receive, which was a lot of profit for their bank.
"As you all know, I am currently in talks with GE about the acquisition of NBCUniversal, but the project I am looking for you to cooperate with is not about NBCUniversal, and the next thing I will do is to acquire two companies, which are related to the size of tens of billions of transactions, in order to avoid leaks before the plan begins, I hope you can sign this non-disclosure agreement on behalf of my party. ”
Saying that, Andy waved his hand, and the assistant Torrey Black stepped forward and put the four confidentiality agreements in front of the four people, and the four did not hesitate much, they had already guessed that Andy Smith was going to be a black knight and make a hostile takeover of the target, this is a big cake, and they will not miss the opportunity to get a piece of the pie, especially the acquisition war that Andy Smith, a super-rich man with outstanding business vision, wants to start.
Seeing the four of them sign the confidentiality agreement, Andy looked at the four people who focused on him with a satisfied smile and said, "I hope that in the next five months, the bank you represent can help me complete the transaction with the Starbucks coffee chain... ”
Seeing the disappointed eyes of the other three except for the representatives of Yingtai Bank, Andy continued to smile and said: "And the acquisition of these two companies by Qualcomm in the United States!"
"No problem, Mr. Smith, we at Bank of America are willing to give you a leveraged loan in full proportion... ”
"We at Goldman Sachs are honored to have a wealth of experience in acquisitions and can provide you with efficient financing solutions... ”
"Thank you Mr. Smith for your trust, we at Wells Fargo are willing to take over the assets of the target company as collateral for debt, and we will provide you with sufficient funds to complete the acquisition... ”
The acquisition of Starbucks of more than 4 billion yuan is not very attractive to these three banks, they know that it is appropriate to buy Starbucks with Andy Smith's financial resources, and their bank will be able to earn some labor commissions, which is nothing more than 100,000, to be honest, the attraction is really not very large.
But as soon as they heard Qualcomm's name, the eyes of the three of them immediately flashed with green light, and they didn't pay attention to the reactions of other people at all, and hurriedly opened their mouths to respond, and the 40 billion market value of Qualcomm was still a hostile takeover, and the funds involved would be in the range of 50 billion to 60 billion.
With the funds in Andy Smith's hands now, it is undoubtedly impossible to complete the DU acquisition, and it will inevitably need financing or mortgage loans with Qualcomm assets to complete the hostile takeover, that is, a leveraged buyout, which will generate unimaginably rich profits.
In particular, Qualcomm, a high-tech company in radio communication technology research and development and chip research and development, is definitely a very high-quality asset, and there is no need to worry about the high debt that will not be repaid.
Hearing that the three of them were actively expressing their attitudes to him at the same time, Andy just nodded with a smile, for the other party's reaction, he had already predicted, leveraged buyout, or hostile takeover, especially when he Andy Smith is rich, no bank can resist this kind of high-return and low-risk project.
"Thank you, I feel your sincerity, this cooperation will be the beginning of our good friendship, I really hope that we can cooperate sincerely to achieve the goal, of course, I will never treat my allies badly, I am also willing to share the rewards of success with all parties, if there is no problem, then, the details of the next cooperation, will be discussed with you by my chief thinker Alvitatre... ”
Andy was very satisfied with the reaction of the other party, as soon as he threw out the bones, they began to fight desperately, so that his side could take the initiative in the negotiation, and in the next detailed negotiations on cooperation, he would get more favorable conditions.
He didn't want to buy Qualcomm with great difficulty, let these three creditors successfully squeeze into the board of directors, and constrain his future power.
In business negotiations, he is a layman at all, but his subordinates are not laymen, especially the cunning Al, who will help him squeeze the last drop of xue from the other party.
