Chapter 226: "Friendship" with the Chen Family
Hearing Yi Cheng's words, a smile appeared on Chen Zhirong's tender and flawless face again, so beautiful that it was difficult to look at directly, "Yi Cheng, you took two stunning blonde beauties shopping today, so that many men look at you with envy and jealousy, you shouldn't just show off." Isn't that what you're trying to do? ”
"Now that I'm here, why are you asking that? Instead, I should be asking, what else do you want to say besides make me apologize?"
Yi Cheng laughed, hiding his embarrassment caused by Chen Zhirong's sharp words: "I said the wrong thing." To be able to make your Chen family look at me seriously, and to be able to let you say the word 'sorry' in person, my purpose has been successfully achieved, and there is nothing else I want to say." ”
"Yes," Chen Zhirong looked at him with an amiable smile, "Then when are you going to return to Lin'an?" ”
"After talking to Butler," Yi Cheng said without hesitation, "what I said before is not a lie, I am indeed very optimistic about the development of Butler." They are now worth around $70 billion, making them the most valuable car company in the world. But I think that's nowhere near their limit. My advisor told me that if it was done right, it was possible to go up ten times more. ”
Chen Zhirong listened attentively, kept nodding lightly, and his posture was elegant. But the problem now is that if we compete and bid with each other, we will only end up cheaper than Butler, and Clark and Gable and Red Maple will be cheaper." What are your thoughts on this?"
Chen Zhirong's voice was so good, Yi Cheng just wanted to listen to it for a while. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, dealing with this woman, he had to be affected by the magic of "seducing humans" all the time, and his brain was not as bright as usual.
He once lived on the earth in the 22nd century, and he has seen countless stunning artificial beauties, but after the appearance is beautiful to a certain extent, it is temperament that determines the charm of this person. It can be said that Yi Cheng has never seen a woman with a temperament like Chen Zhirong.
The self-confidence of the controlling party, the pride of being noble, the calmness of being in a high position, the elegance brought by good cultivation, and the gentleness that penetrates people's hearts...... So many aspects are intertwined and combined into Chen Zhirong's unique temperament.
"I won't back down," Yi Cheng smiled calmly, "Even if the premium is ten, twenty, or even fifty percent, one hundred percent because of the bidding, I will make a lot of money." ”
"I happen to have that determination. Chen Zhirong smiled gently and elegantly.
"There can only be two outcomes," Yi Cheng looked at Chen Zhirong, and then immediately forced himself to look away, lest he lose the ability to think because of her beauty, "Either we will come up with our own means, at any cost, so that Clark, Gable, and Red Maple can invest profitably." Or, we put aside our preconceptions and grievances and work together on this matter. ”
"Cooperation?" Chen Zhirong raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes were extremely smart, and his long eyelashes like a small brush trembled, "It sounds good, Chen is also very good at cooperation." It's just, how do we divide it?"
"What advice do you have?" Yi Cheng didn't want to expose his bottom line first.
Chen Zhirong smiled skillfully, "Now Butler's shares are 22% in Clark's hands, Gable has 15% in his hands, Red Maple Investment has 40%, some other executives jointly hold 8%, and 15% is held by retail investors." We, Chen, want to acquire at least 55% owned by Gable and Red Maple Investments. ”
Yi Cheng smiled. "I require my shareholding to be no less than 40%. ”
Chen Zhirong frowned lightly, "This is a bit difficult to do, Chen Group must achieve absolute control, at least 51% or more, otherwise it would rather give up this merger and acquisition." But even if we give up 4%, you get 22% of Clark's shares, and you only have 26% of the shares. Of course, you can continue to buy shares from other executives. ”
Yi Cheng actually already holds 7% of the shares of Butler & Co., which Fuxi has successively acquired from retail investors, and without his continuous acquisitions, Butler's stock price would not have risen to nearly $500.
But there is no need to say this. He believes that Chan Group has also acquired a number of shares from retail investors.
Chen Zhirong said calmly: "These contradictions can be solved, we can make an appointment, sit down and talk slowly, we can always reach an agreement, there is no need to let Clark and Gable pick up a big bargain." ”
Yi Cheng stood up: "Frankly speaking, I have money, I don't care about spending a little more, I'd rather spend more money and compete with you, but also to ensure my dominant position on the board." ”
"Yicheng ......"
"Needless to say, I'll leave the rest to my subordinates. Yi Cheng deliberately put on such a strong attitude. In the face of a behemoth like Chen, he does not have many advantages. Even if the price is the same, Butler and Red Maple investors may be more inclined to sell their shares to Chan and get married.
Therefore, he has to put on a posture that he would rather fight to the death, so that Chen has some scruples and is willing to surrender his demands.
He did not doubt Chen's determination to achieve absolute control of Butler, but he would not tolerate such a thing. He can accept a slight advantage of Chen's holdings, such as Chen's 45% stake, he holds 40%, and the remaining 15% is held by other company executives and retail investors.
Only in this way can he guarantee his voice in the Butler Company after the acquisition.
Frankly speaking, he didn't have a project that could make 10 times as much money, and it was okay to give up the acquisition of Butler, so he didn't worry about the collapse of the talks at all, and in short, he couldn't let Chen have a good time.
Some grievances cannot be resolved by an apology from a stunning beauty like Chen Zhirong. Accepting an apology does not mean that he must forgive Chan for his contempt and offense.
Seeing Yi Cheng's resolute attitude, Chen Zhirong had no choice but to get up, with a faint smile on his face, "Then I can only talk about this here today." Let's talk to the people in charge of the negotiation and try to reach an agreement within these two days, and we will resume negotiations with Butler in two days. Hopefully, when the time comes, we will be on the same side of the negotiating table. ”
"No problem, I'll arrange it right away. Yi Cheng stretched out his hand.
Chen Zhirong hesitated slightly, but still stretched out his delicate and white little hand and shook it gently with Yi Cheng.
"I have a hunch that this will be a tough negotiation," Yi Cheng said with a smile, "and I hope that no matter how things develop, it will not affect our friendship." ”
Chen Zhirong: "No." ”
More than two years ago, he was still an ant that Chen didn't want to look at. And now, Chen Zhirong has shaken hands with him and is willing to maintain his friendship. That's how wonderful things are.
