Chapter 542: Bite the Hook
Tang Yongwen deliberately glared at Bao Feiyang, meaning to complain that Bao Feiyang revealed the Tang family's hole cards, and then turned his head and said to the old Honeycote with a helpless expression: "Yes, our Tang family has plans to expand outside of Mexico in the near future, if Mr. Honeycote can help in this regard, I think we still have a chance to reach a cooperation." ”
Old Honeycote made up his mind at this time, no matter how Tang Yongwen and Bao Feiyang played tricks, anyway, it was always right to only stare at the Ra Fan C company and related supporting industries. So he smiled and said to Tang Yongwen: "There should be no problem in this regard, although our Honeycott family is not a powerful chaebol, but it still has some influence in the southeast coastal areas such as Texas and California, if your Tang family wants to show in Texas and California, our Honeycott family can still do a little bit." Mr. Tang, let's talk about it, what kind of help do you need?"
Tang Yongwen glanced at Bao Feiyang, and thought to himself that as Bao Feiyang judged, the more they played tricks, the more old Honeycot would be on the road. So Tang Yongwen said according to the pre-planned plan: "First, if your Honeycot family really intends to buy our Tang family's property in Mexico, you must replace it with US dollars or the property of the United States. ”
"There's no problem with that. Old Honeycot groaned for a while and said, the peso is overvalued, but in business transactions, everyone will not follow the official exchange rate, the price of the dollar must be lower than the price of the peso, if it is converted into a peso, he also has to bear the exchange rate risk. But compared to the high-quality asset of Ra fan C, it is still worth taking the risk of the exchange rate!
Tang Yongwen nodded: "In terms of price, we can make certain concessions and determine the price according to the net worth and the appropriate premium level." But you also have to help us with the exchange of pesos. ”
Old Honeycott frowned: "Mr. Tang means ......"
"Quite simply, in addition to the real industry, our Tang family has a lot of cash and securities investment in Mexico, and we hope to convert these peso assets into US dollars as much as possible," Tang said. ”
Old Honeycote stared at Tang Yongwen twice. Although it sounds like just an asset to huàn. But Honeycot Sr. knew the danger was clear. The cash and securities invested by the Tang family is certainly not a small number, if it can be exchanged through the guò open market. They don't need to make this request at all, and now that Tang Yongwen has put it forward very formally, it can be seen that the amount must be very large, and it is more difficult to exchange it directly.
In this case. Old Honeycote wants to help the Tang family convert these peso assets into dollar assets, either by eating them themselves or by finding someone else to eat them, but the pesos are overvalued, and such a transaction will inevitably have a relatively large risk.
Old Honeycott took out a beautiful tin box, took out a cigar from it, and pushed the cigar box to Tang Yongwen: "Mr. Tang." Let's get a cigar, it's a big deal, and I have to think about it. ”
Tang Yongwen nodded: "It's okay, Mr. Honeycott can think about it slowly." Our idea is that what is the total acquisition price of RA, you are responsible for how many pesos you are responsible for, and the more supporting industries are acquired, the lower the premium of RAMI C can be. ”
"Mr. Tang is really shrewd!" Honeycott Sr. smiled, but he couldn't help but feel relieved, compared to spending a high premium to buy Ra Fan C, of course he hoped to be able to buy this high-quality asset at a lower price, as for this to have an additional exchange transaction, it is not very difficult.
The Tang family plans to enter the United States, and the elder Honeycott is planning to enter Mexico, and if he wants to invest in Mexico, he must also exchange the dollars in his hand for pesos, which can be said to be beneficial for both parties. Although there is some uncertainty in both the peso and the Mexican economy, Honeycote Sr. wants to invest in high-quality assets such as Ra Mi C, as well as oil and gas energy assets, which will remain very strong even if Mexico's economy collapses completely.
Although on the surface, the elder Honeycott still seems very reserved, and does not want to expose his hole cards too early, so as not to raise the price in the specific negotiations. However, the elder Honeycot also knows that after his precious son Michael made a racism scandal, his attempt to get out of the quagmire has almost become a semi-open secret, and it is hard to imagine that an elite Chinese business family like the Tang family will not seize this opportunity to raise the price.
In this case, the old Honeycott is really afraid of long nights and dreams, in case the Tang family changes their minds, it will be difficult for the Honeycott family to find a high-quality asset of such a large scale in Mexico. So as the negotiations deepened, the elder Honeycote made a lot of concessions, and finally reached a verbal agreement with Tang Yongwen.
Seeing that Tang Yongwen and old Honeycott had reached a consensus in the general direction, Bao Feiyang grabbed a cigar, lit it like a cigarette, then took a puff and frowned: "This tastes weird...... Mr. Tang, if you sold Ra Fan C to Mr. Honeycott, does our previous investment agreement count?"
Tang Yongwen smiled and shook his head: "If we formally sign the investment agreement before the transfer agreement is reached, it will naturally count, and if the transfer agreement is reached before, then I am afraid you will have to discuss the investment with Mr. Honeycott." ”
"Ah, then you won't reach a transfer agreement so quickly, right?" Bao Feiyang looked at old Honeycot with some "surprise".
Naturally, the elder Honeycote would not be disturbed by Bao Feiyang's "little trick", he smiled and said: "Of course, we hope to reach an agreement as much as possible, and it is best to be able to reach an agreement today." ”
The old Honeycott is worthy of being a veteran of the shopping mall, although at first he was at a loss by Bao Feiyang and Tang Yongwen's tricks of being virtual and real, but once the formal negotiations began, the old Honeycote showed his skillful business skills, and quietly ate away at the subtleties that were previously taken advantage of by Tang Yongwen. In this way, on the surface, it seems that the Tang family has taken a big advantage in the negotiations, but in fact, the actual benefits obtained by the Tang family are limited. For a while, old Honeycot couldn't help but be complacent, and his face looked much better than it did at the beginning. But he didn't know that Tang Yongwen and Bao Feiyang had actually seen through the tricks he played in the negotiation, and just deliberately pretended not to know, and deliberately sent back some cheap ones. Because Tang Yongwen and Bao Feiyang are also afraid that the persecution will be too tight, the negotiations will collapse, and it will not be easy to find another wronged leader like Honeycote Sr.
Taking advantage of the break in negotiations, Honeycote Sr. took the time to call Thomas, his partner in Mexico, and explained the Tang family's latest request and inventory.
Thomas laughed: "Mitchell, isn't this exactly what you want? The Tang family wants dollars, you give them dollars, of course, the price to Huàn should be according to the market conditions, and then you take those pesos to bid for Mexico's oil and gas resources, telecommunications resources, which are better than dollars." ”
Old Honeycot still had some doubts in his heart, but when he heard Thomas say this, he thought for a while and asked, "There should be no problem on the Mexican side, right?"
"Don't worry, I just left the new cabinet with the Minister of Industry, this time they are ready to do a big job, we have a good chance, you just have to get the funds ready. Thomas said confidently.
Old Honeycote nodded reassuringly: "There is no problem with money, but if I want to complete the acquisition of Ra Fan C, it will also cost a lot of money, or US dollars." ”
"Then you can complete the acquisition as much as possible, and then take out the mortgage on the assets of Ra Fan C, in short, you have to be fast, you can't miss this great opportunity!" Thomas said with a smile.
Hanging up Thomas's phone, Honeycot Sr. made a few more calls, although he and Thomas had cooperated, but such an important matter, of course, could not be listened to by Thomas alone. After the new president of Mexico takes office, he will promote the further opening up of Mexico's economy, especially in the fields of oil and gas, telecommunications, etc., and will also actively introduce foreign investment.
In Honeycot Sr.'s view, with the economic development of countries like Mexico, Brazil, China and other American and Asian countries, the world's energy consumption will inevitably increase, so the prospects of the energy industry will inevitably get better and better, not the other way around.
Oil and gas resources are scarce resources in the world, American Resources Company is not as good as Mobil and Shell, their biggest advantage is flexibility, where there is oil, which way can be used to produce oil, and Mobil, Shell and other giants, often make some countries feel worried, just like Mexicans will worry that their oil and gas resources will be controlled by Mobil and other countries, if they are replaced by American Resources Company, they will not have such worries.
As Thomas said, as long as he has oil and gas resources in his hands, no matter what happens to Mexico's economy in the future, even if the peso depreciates to nothing, he does not have to worry, because oil is the hard currency.
Old Honeycote thought about it, and when he walked into the meeting room again to face Tang Yongwen, he had already made a decision in his heart that he must reach an agreement as much as possible.
Due to the agreement of the two parties, the next negotiations progressed very quickly, and the two parties quickly reached an agreement on the purchase price, acquisition method, acquisition of ancillary supporting industries, and capital redemption, and agreed to sign the final agreement as soon as possible and finally deliver.
