Chapter 168 Acquisition Signing
Sitting in Lincoln's car, Zhang Heng was still reminiscing about the charm before, Ollie was still a little green, but it had a different flavor, and finally her expression and eyes were deeply rooted in his memory.
Perhaps because he is approaching the mental age of middle age, he still likes women older than him like Ollie or He Jie, but he has no feelings for little sisters like Feng Baoer or Chen Yulian.
White apparently knew who he was with last night, and sat across from him without speaking, just constantly looking his tie and shirt up and down.
"Is there anything wrong with my costume?" Zhang Heng suddenly asked.
"No, no problem, I think it's right for you and for the city. White smiled, "With the nourishment of love, you look more ......."
However, thinking of the other party's age, he couldn't say it anymore for a while.
"It's more MAN, isn't it?" Zhang Heng smiled proudly and looked at the two cars following behind him, "Thank you for dispatching so many experts." ”
"There's not much of a problem on Neo's side, we are still a few of us today, and when we go to San Francisco and their factory, it will be a big bunch. ”
"Yes, Mirova also has a factory. Thinking of the only remaining speaker factory in distant Indiana, Zhang Heng's head is big.
Any Chinese businessman in the 21st century knows that the development trajectory of the domestic manufacturing industry in the United States, the harsh environmental protection and labor security constraints, and the insatiable capitalist workers and their general back-office trade unions will be the ultimate nightmare for the American manufacturing bosses in the future.
"White, if I want to dismantle this factory, will there be any obstacles?"
"Oh my God, Chang, I suggest that you better keep this factory, even if it's only a temporary measure, you don't know, the main obstacle to this acquisition is not the capitalists, all it takes is a large amount of dollars at once to send them away, our worst enemy is the terrible unions, they need dollars for decades. Walter had an exaggerated look of horror on his face.
"And, given your nationality, once targeted by the union, I am sure it will be a disaster, a disaster that will bring a long nightmare to all of us involved!"
"Your TND is still not a capitalist country?" Zhang Heng sneered, looking at him bitterly: "Then let them take my dollars and continue to produce those speakers that are destined to be unsellable?"
"Isn't there an Odyssey?"
A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Heng's mouth: "Do you think we shouldn't thank this poor product if we can come over this time?"
White thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps, you can take the arcade machines that you sold well in Xiangjiang to the United States to make them." ”
"That's it......" Zhang Heng calculated the gains and losses.
"Hi Zhang, let me tell you, given my professional point of view, this is definitely good for your career:
First, we can buy Mirohua smoothly; second, you can build a responsible entrepreneur image in the United States, and buy the hearts and minds of workers, trade unions, and left-wing media, which is very important and precious to you; third, once Mirohua makes arcade machines in the United States, you will save a huge amount of import taxes; fourth, it will help you respond quickly to market demand, and fifth, I have not thought of it for the time being. ”
Zhang Heng was moved by what he said, and thought about it carefully, this is indeed a great idea, the fifth point that White did not mention, he has already thought of it, if this is done, Daheng's future mergers and acquisitions of American companies and acquisitions of American technology will definitely be much less resistant.
He glanced at Lin Liang, who was sitting beside him, and said, "Lin Liang, you communicate with the team, and then discuss with Walt's team, how to perfectly acquire Mirohua under the Daheng Group system and build it into an American enterprise recognized by everyone." ”
"You're a great thinker!" Walter gave a thumbs up.
Neo Primham did not choose to receive them in a private villa, he chose the luxurious meeting room of the Hilton Hotel, and this time he did not bring his little British girlfriend, on the contrary, a team of people who also had a large number.
When Zhang Heng walked in, these white Americans in suits and leather shoes also raised their heads and looked at this young Chinese, the big boss, with a complicated expression.
As insiders, everyone knows that yesterday's transaction between Goldman Sachs and this wealthy man in Hong Kong, 4,500 futures trading orders, the market price of $119 per ounce, totaled nearly $54 million.
In other words, the tall and personable young man in front of him is already half a billionaire, not to mention that he has two manufacturing factories in Xiangjiang that are profitable.
"Congratulations, Zhang, you've won. Neo took the initiative to come up and hug Zhang Heng.
"Thanks, Neo, my friend, you didn't really fail. Zhang Heng was also enthusiastic.
"Only 30,000 units have been sold in five months, and I've fired that hateful sales manager!" Neo gritted his teeth.
The arrogant and confident Brant, the blame is not all on him, Mirova is like a rotten car, every part has problems, and you can't just blame the driver who stepped on the accelerator.
But now, it is still necessary to take care of the emotions of the loser, Zhang Heng was full of goodwill sympathy, nodded lightly and said: "Take the money, you can invest in the industry you really like." ”
"Yes, I have already planned to enter Hollywood!" Neo regained his confidence, his expression vivid, "When the time comes, you must not forget to participate in the shares, I will definitely give you the greatest reward." ”
"I have faith in you. Zhang Heng lightly punched him in the shoulder, "Really don't forget my friend!"
Walter coughed at the right time, and the two of them sat down separately, and the negotiations between the two sides officially began.
The total price was set when the VAM agreement was signed in Hawaii, and all of Mirohua's tangible and intangible assets were valued at $10 million, but the money was not Neo's alone, and Mirova still had minority shareholders.
These people first questioned the price and put forward all kinds of valuable terms, Daheng's team fought back one by one, Goldman Sachs as a special consultant from time to time professionally mended, and the conference room soon fell into endless quarrels.
Neo got up helplessly, ignored the white eyes of other shareholders, walked to Zhang Heng's side and invited him: "Let's go, let's go outside to breathe." ”
"Gentlemen, let me say a word, after Daheng acquires Mirohua this time, we will retain this brand, and we will also retain the Fort Wayne factory, and we will put many new products in the United States to manufacture in the future, this is the greatest respect for Mirohua and my team, and I sincerely thank you for your long-term efforts, we will definitely make Mirohua glow with new brilliance!" Zhang Heng greeted slightly, and was held by Neo's arm and walked out of the conference room.
In the smoking room, Neo said meaningfully: "Actually, you can use the capital squeeze acquisition model, and you don't need to consider the ideas of these small shareholders at all." ”
Zhang Heng smiled: "Let's start and finish well, I hope everyone has a perfect result." ”
He really doesn't want to cause any new controversy in the future, and for a Chinese, acquiring an old American company is a difficult job that requires extreme patience.
Neo's face suddenly fell silent, and after a moment, he said to him gratefully: "Zhang, thank you, you know, after all, this is a company created by my grandfather, I, I always have a feeling in it, but unfortunately I am not suitable for running such a company." ”
The negotiations lasted for a day, and the minority shareholders actually reached the price they had in mind in the morning, but the sense of ceremony should not be missing, after all, it was an acquisition that was not too small.
When night fell in Los Angeles, Lin Liangzhi Daheng Holdings entrusted an agent to sign a draft acquisition agreement with all shareholders of Mirohua, with a contract amount of 10.5 million US dollars.
Next, the two sides shook hands and said goodbye, humbly entered the hotel restaurant box that had been booked, and a happy dinner began.
Of course, the matter is not over, and the formal contract will take at least two days for the teams on both sides to draft, and then it will have to be filed with the union, and it will have to be submitted to the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Commerce for review, and the deal will not be officially effective until everyone says "OK".
"Next, it's up to you. Zhang Heng smiled and took a glass of mineral water and toasted White, isn't Goldman Sachs doing these things, otherwise how could it charge a consulting fee of up to five percent of the target amount.
White smiled and said, "This list won't attract the attention of those nationalists, so you can rest assured that you can wait to be the new boss of Mirohua." ”
