Chapter 695: Three Billion Dollars!
Kensington Neighbourhood Villa in London.
Li Xiang and George came to Shen Lang together, and the housekeeper Cohen poured a cup of coffee for Li Xiang and George.
Shen Lang came downstairs late and said with a smile: "You are here?"
"Boss, are we really going to play this big this time?" said George, rubbing his hands together.
What Shen Lang said on the phone was vague, but George only remembered one keyword, and the acquisition capital this time was not less than 30 billion US dollars.
$30 billion!
That's a number that George never dreamed of!
Li Xiang is no better, such a large acquisition is definitely one of the largest in the history of private equity acquisitions.
Shen Lang sat on the sofa with a smile, and the housekeeper Cohen poured Shen Lang a cup of prepared iced coffee.
Shen Lang said while stirring: "This time I called you here for this matter. ”
Li Xiang and George were inspecting potential companies around the world, and of course they were called back by Shen Lang this time to do a big job.
Being able to personally handle 30 billion US dollars is enough to make Li Xiang and George feel that they have no regrets in this life!
Shen Lang does not plan to contribute this capital completely by himself, including Nanyue Bank and ICBC are partners.
Shen Lang estimated that he would have to spend at least $10 billion to acquire it.
George hadn't found a promising company for a long time, and he only made millions of dollars by investing in a few small shrimps.
"Hey, boss, tell me who you want to buy, and Lee and I will definitely help you get it!" George said confidently.
Li Xiang smiled implicitly and said, "Boss, I happen to be relatively idle recently, you might as well tell me who is the first one you want to acquire?"
"Hilton Hotels Group. ”
"Hilton?"
George was the first to be surprised: "Boss, the share price of Hilton Hotels Group is not cheap. ”
Li Xiang has also been in the investment circle for many years, and he is familiar with the name of Hilton Hotel Group.
Li Xiang frowned and said: "Boss, I personally recommend giving up the acquisition of Hilton Group, Hilton Group has reached a peak, and it is difficult to make another big breakthrough." ”
Shen Lang has his own considerations, Nanyue Bank wants to develop greatly, how can it do without real strength?
If Nanyue Bank's Zijin Card wants to make a name for itself and snatch high-end users from other banks, it must show its true strength.
Hilton is almost one of the largest hotel groups in the world.
Hilton is a world-class hotel brand with brands such as Hilton, Waldorf Astoria, Conrad, DoubleTree by Hilton and Hilton Garden Inn.
If he can take a part of the shares of Hilton Group, Shen Lang will be able to transfer this resource to Nanyue Bank.
With its own hotel brands all over the world, it can provide more services to Nanyue Bank's customers.
"HNA holds a 25% stake in Hilton, and when we bought it, we bought it for $6.5 billion, and now if we are in a hurry to sell it, we can pick up a bargain. ”
Li wanted to know that Shen Lang's mind could not be changed, so he analyzed the possibility and price of this acquisition.
George analyzed: "If you are in a hurry to make a move, if we can take over, we can almost get a 10% discount at the lowest." ”
Li Xiang added: "After the acquisition of HNA, the market value of Hilton Group has risen sharply, and now the market value of the shares held by HNA is about 8 billion US dollars. ”
George turned on his computer to check some information, turned the computer and put it in front of Shen Lang and said: "The Hilton Group has now been split into three subsidiaries, but HNA holds about 25% of the shares of each of the three branches. ”
Li Xiang concluded: "So, $7.2 billion should be the final price. ”
According to Li Xiang's analysis, the overall prospects of Hilton Group are still very good, and if it can spend $7.2 billion to acquire Hilton Group's shares, the deal will still be profitable.
HNA is in dire need of this fund, and only Shen Lang can quickly give HNA the most urgently needed liquidity.
$7.2 billion is not something that everyone can afford easily!
"You immediately form a negotiation team to negotiate with HNA, or is it based on 7.2 billion US dollars, and below that number is your bonus. Shen Lang chuckled.
Li Xiang and George glanced at each other, and a flash of fire flashed in their eyes.
As long as it comes to the $7.2 billion or less, it's Li Xiang's bonus.
If you can talk about 7 billion US dollars, Li Xiang and George's team can share 200 million US dollars.
It's exciting to think about!
"Boss, we promise to get the job done!" George grinned.
Now George can say that he has to hug Shen Lang's thigh tightly, and no rich second generation has Shen Lang's thick leg.
The acquisition of Hilton Group is an appearance that Shen Lang has really begun to expose to the world!
……
A few so-called high-class parties in London can be a bit tedious, and football is the best way to network with high society.
This was the case with Chelsea owner Abu, for example, who was initially despised by British high society as a Russian oligarch nouveau riche.
It wasn't until Abu bought Chelsea that he began to integrate into the circle of high society little by little.
Compared with Abu's nouveau riche, Shen Lang's gentleness and elegance, mixed with the mystery of the Orientals, made Shen Lang extremely popular.
The good-looking Shen Lang seems to be born as a darling of the upper class, and it is no difficult to integrate into the upper class society in London.
Daniel is now extraordinarily moisturized, and the biggest benefit of following Shen Lang is the improvement of Daniel's status.
Speaking of Liverpool FC, Liverpool is currently doing very well, with three wins in three games in the opening three rounds.
Before, Daniel was a little suspicious of Shen Lang's vision, but now he saw Salah killing all sides as if he was being protected by the Egyptian pharaoh.
With three rounds of matches, each of which has had a brilliant performance, Salah's value has skyrocketed.
Think about the 40 million that Liverpool bought Salah at the beginning, it was a bloody gain.
Jurgen Klopp is busy integrating new signings into the squad, and the cup results are still outstanding with a group of high-profile stars.
Daniel's status in the family has been enhanced, most notably by the fact that Daniel's dividends have increased quite a bit.
The Daniel family is a media magnate that owns many of London's local news corps and newspapers.
Over the years, there have been two billion pounds of wealth, but that's family wealth.
The annual dividend is only a few tens of millions of pounds, and Daniel used to receive only 3% a year.
Daniel's family has many children, and he gets a 3% share, which is also the reason why Daniel's grandfather loved Daniel.
Today, Daniel's status in the family has been enhanced, and the annual dividend ratio has increased to 5%.
Daniel's dividend ratio is higher, and naturally there are fewer other family members.
Even Daniel's father is the same, and the dividend share is relatively diluted and reduced.
