It took a while for several officials from the British Ministry of Industry to regain their composure and walk back to the conference room.

Before he sat down, he threw a long list of words to Li Fanyu: "Although mergers and acquisitions between enterprises are commercial activities, in view of the special significance of Rolls-Royce to China's automobile industry, we cannot agree to the asset acquisition proposal of the ghost company for the time being." However, Sir Gerald has been working hard for your sake and hopes to bring new life to the British automotive industry with the strength of your company. So we got along with a compromise. ”

The righteous believers present were a little confused when they heard this, first they said they didn't agree, and now they said that they were compromised, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?

Li Fanyu was puzzled: "What way? Explain it more clearly." ”

"We allow Zhengxin to acquire no more than 30% of the equity of Rolls-Royce in the hands of Wix and its shareholders by way of share merger and acquisition.

Under the premise of not affecting the market trend of Rolls-Royce and accepting the supervision of the board of directors and shareholders, the compound annual consolidation rate of Rolls-Royce will be increased to 50% within one year.

If you can achieve this goal, we will consider handing over this brand to Zhengxin. If you can't...... Sorry, but after a year, you'll need to return the acquired shares to Rolls-Royce.

England will never believe in unfounded plans and unbridled speculators. ”

The official at the head pointed his nostrils at Li Fanyu and said in a British accent with a lot of crutches.

You!

At this moment, Li Fanyu especially wanted to insert the pen in his hand into this person's chrysanthemum.

According to his plan, he bought Rolls-Royce directly with money. What does this include? This includes the Rolls-Royce brand and all of its assets and liabilities.

For example, a person goes to the market to buy cucumbers.

Asset mergers and acquisitions are equivalent to buying this basket of cucumbers worth 50 yuan directly at the market price. At the moment of payment, the basket of cucumbers will be yours. Whether you're stir-frying or dipping it in sauce, or you're not going to eat it and do something else slippery, that's your own business, and no one cares.

But what is an equity M&A?

It's this basket of cucumbers, you partnered with several people, and invested fifteen yuan to buy part of the right to use it. Therefore, if you use any cucumber, whether you eat it with scrambled eggs or dipping sauce, you need to obtain the consent of the co-owners of the basket of cucumbers, that is, the shareholders and the board of directors.

Even if the board of directors approves it, whether this cucumber is sweet or salty in your sauce, they can still have the right to supervise it.

You said that it was so hard to eat a cucumber, how inconvenient would it be if you did something else with this cucumber at night?

"What are the requirements? What we are proposing is the asset merger and acquisition plan, for Rolls-Royce, the future planning is also based on the basic situation that Zhengxin has all the property rights, now it is changed to share mergers and acquisitions, how can we stretch our strengths?"

"That's right. No more than 30% of the shares means that we are still committed to maintaining the current listing status quo of Rolls-Royce. How can you guarantee that there will be no change in the shares circulating within Rolls-Royce and on the stock market during the year, adding uncertainty to our future mergers and acquisitions?"

"And as far as we know from our survey, the compound annual growth rate of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars last year was -8%. In the past three years, the compound growth rate has been downward. How is it possible for you to ask us to increase the compound annual growth rate to 50% without changing the current system and direction of Rolls-Royce?"

"What if it's 40 percent, 30 percent, and if we don't get 50 percent, we have to return the stock, doesn't that mean all the hard work we've put in for the year has been in vain?"

"Yes, take our money and give it to you for a year. Use our technology and heart to help you improve your performance in the year. If you can't achieve the lofty goals you have set, won't we give you a cowherd for nothing?"

In the face of the questioning of the legal department and the marketing department, the representatives of Wicks and Sir Gerald were helpless.

But the officials of the Ministry of Industry looked like they should be;

"In the meeting just now, your chairman showed such vigorous self-confidence, and now, in the face of our small request, but retreated? I think, your self-confidence is not worthy of the name!"

"Gentlemen, consider this a litmus test. Only by turning the situation of Rolls-Royce around in a short period of time will we see in you the value of the automotive industry in the British Empire. ”

"That's right, gentlemen. ”

Looking at the sarcastic and vindictive smiles on the faces of several people, Li Fanyu slammed the pen in his hand on the table.

Li Kai thought that he was going to be mad, so he hurriedly got up to stop him.

Li Fanyu pushed him away and slowly spoke: "I agree to your request." ”

Several officials of the Ministry of Industry had a smile on their faces!

"Li Dong, you can't promise them, isn't this playing with us for fools?"

"That's right, this is to draw a big pie to tempt us to give them a lot of effort! Just one year of company control, what use can it be for us, Li Dong?"

"Let's go, Li Dong! I don't think they have any intention of letting Rolls-Royce go to us!"

Li Fanyu waved his hand slightly: "However, the share merger and acquisition you proposed means that Zhengxin wants to cash out the shares in the hands of Vics Group on a large scale. Even if it is 30 percent, then according to the current situation of Rolls-Royce, there will be about 150,000 shares in total.

That's not a small amount of money. And we need a guarantee. You can't do everything, can you?"

The official at the head was puzzled: "What do you want?"

Li Fanyu smiled slightly: "Why don't we make a bet?"

"Bet?"

Several people were stunned and looked at each other.

After a long time, they turned their faces at Li Fanyu and asked, "How are you going to bet?"

"If we can't get Rolls-Royce to grow at a CAGR of 50% in a year, then everything is as you say. But if we can achieve this goal, then you will transfer 21% of the shares of Rolls-Royce to Zhengxin. Gratis. How?"

Li Fanyu stretched out three fingers and smiled.

The current market capitalization of Rolls-Royce is about 700 million pounds. Twenty percent of the shares, that's close to a hundred and a half pounds.

But this account cannot be simply calculated.

In a listed company, the maximum shareholding of a single shareholder shall not exceed 30%. If it is exceeded, then it will be reassessed and delisted.

Once such a situation occurs, it is undoubtedly more convenient and ...... for the party holding 51% of the shares to carry out a comprehensive asset acquisition Save money!

Looking at the hesitation on the faces of several officials from the Ministry of Industry and representatives of the Fox Group, Li Fanyu sneered.

"Why, don't you dare to bet? Why don't I let you let you shorten this gambling period to half a year after Zhengxin fully takes over?"

.....

The meeting came to a halt again, and occasionally there was not an intermission, but an "adjournment".

After four days in London, the old knight brought a reply from Rolls-Royce.

"That bet, after our discussion, decided to use it!"
