The CEO sells his equity outward, how awkward it looks. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ordinary people don't do this, which is to tell the other party that as a CEO, they are not optimistic about their own company, so how can the other party buy the equity of their own company?
But Cole couldn't help it, to be honest, Hairui Group couldn't come up with more than $70 million in cash at one time.
If there is still such a cash flow on the account, Hairui Group will not fall into bankruptcy rumors.
Cole couldn't afford the money, and he had to buy the gems, because the gems were of good quality and could be put on the market very quickly after being carefully carved.
If done properly, Hairui Group will spend 70 million yuan to buy these gemstones, and may end up making a profit of 270 million or more.
As long as these profits can be achieved, then Kohl does not have to worry about the company's financial problems, and Hairui Group can come out of the financial crisis.
The appearance of Li Du is an opportunity for the dying Hairui Group, a chance to resurrect.
There are very few people in the world who can come up with so many precious gems, and those who can take out these precious gems and are willing to buy the equity of Hairui Group can be described as unique.
Therefore, Cole must grasp the life-saving straw of Li Du, and he sees an opportunity to revive his empire.
Li Du quickly understood the stake, and he was happy to buy the stake from Cole, because it would be easier for him to bargain.
He quickly contacted Bauer Neuberg, the lawyer introduced to him by Playboy, and then negotiated with Bauer, who stepped in to help him bargain.
He had previously spent $11.2 million to buy an eight-thousandth stake in the Harry Winston Group, and this time he has six and a half dollars of $11.2 million, and he wants to buy more than six eight-thousandths of the equity.
A tug-of-war of business negotiations began.
Bauer attaches great importance to Li Du's client, he has seen the potential from the other party, and when he learned that this was a big deal of more than 70 million US dollars, he directly pulled his team to negotiate.
Cole also called the business lawyers and financial consultants of Hairui Group, their team is stronger, but unfortunately the initiative is in the hands of Li Du.
The negotiations began the next day and lasted all day, from morning to afternoon, and finally came up with a mutually satisfactory result:
Cole sold 1 percent of the group's stake for $10 million, for a total of 7 percent of the 48 percent stake.
In this way, Li Du discounted the gem to $72 million, of which 70 million was used as a stake and 2 million was converted into cash.
The deal was completed in the presence of a panel of lawyers from both sides, and Cole wanted to hold a press conference, but Li Du refused, hoping that he could live a low-key life.
Considering that he had been kidnapped not long ago, Kerr and Rogge understood his concerns and did not make a big deal about the signing.
The whole signing process went smoothly, but when the signing was about to end, someone came to the door, and three old men came together, naming Cole by name.
The three are acquaintances of Li Du and are the three minority shareholders of Hairui Group, he met the three last time, and also bought the shares of Tatiq.
Seeing the three of them, Li Du asked Tatik strangely: "What are you doing here? Don't you already have no equity in the group?"
Tatik said embarrassedly: "Be quiet, Lee, my two buddies didn't know that my stake was sold, and they learned that President Cole was coming, so they brought me to meet him." ”
Two other gentlemen, Norman and Horford, confronted Cole, questioning his leadership of the group and asking him about his plans for the group's future development.
At the end of the day, the two are selling their shares.
Cole told them that the group had acquired a batch of gemstones and would launch a new luxury showcase by next year at the latest.
The two didn't believe it, and asked him step by step what kind of gem he was and how to do it.
Cole had just gotten the Fire Opal, so how could he have planned a special conference so quickly?
He also did not intend to reveal the identity of the gems, and until the publicity began, he had to remain secretive, telling the outside world that the Harry Winston Group had acquired a batch of precious gemstones, but he could not say what the specific gems were.
The Normans didn't understand him, and when they saw him talking, they thought he was lying and forced him to find a way to take responsibility for their equity.
While the two of them were persecuting Cole, they also shouted to Tatik: "Old man, come here, what are you doing in a daze? Do you want to let tens of millions of dollars fall into your own hands?"
Tatik looked at them embarrassedly, not knowing what to say, Li Du spoke: "Mr. Tatiq's equity has been sold. ”
Norman and Horford looked shocked for a moment, and Tatik was even more embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Lee, don't say it. ”
Li Du said: "I have acquired Mr. Tatiq's equity, you don't have to worry, I will also buy your equity." ”
Upon hearing this, Tatiq was surprised and asked, "Really?"
Li Du nodded and said: "Of course, so you don't have to force President Cole, I have a huge amount of money that has not been recovered, but it is in the recovery stage, as long as the money is in hand, I will buy your equity." ”
Norman exclaimed, "Why should we believe your promise?"
Li Du smiled and said: "Just because I bought Mr. Tatiq's equity, if you don't believe it, you can ask him." ”
Tatiq sneered, "Mr. Li is a young rich man who is passionate about the luxury industry, and I think he is really interested in your equity. ”
With Tatick's help, Norman and Horford reluctantly believed Leedu.
They don't believe it and can't help it, Cole doesn't care about their small shareholders, now that he is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, it is difficult to protect himself, how can he have the energy to manage these small shareholders?
After the signing was completed, Li Du invited Bauer and his team of lawyers to go to Joe Lubson's restaurant for a big meal, and at the same time gave a thank you fee of 100,000 yuan.
Bauer had promised him that he would be responsible for helping Li Du complete the acquisition of Hairui Group, as a way to show his strength and strive to become Li Du's personal lawyer.
Therefore, Li Du does not need to pay lawyer's fees for signing the contract this time, and the 100,000 yuan he gives is a tip, and Bauer will distribute it to the colleagues who invited him to help, and he can't get much money himself.
After spending half a week in Las Vegas, Li Du disposed of the gems in his hand and left with two million cash and a whopping seven points of equity in Hairui Group.
Unfortunately, he could no longer sell the fire opal to the Harry Winston Group after digging up the fire opal.
Cole was concerned that he would continue to put fire opals on the market, and after he got the shares, he told him: "Harry Winston will be making a new jewelry line based on this batch of gemstones, and please put your fire opals in place until this series is launched." ”
Li Du understands that he has to help Hairui Group sell the jewelry made by this batch of fire opals at a high price, because he is already one of the major shareholders of the group and has to help the group develop.
