Chapter 464 Mergers and Acquisitions

"Good guy, more than twenty people are here," Uncle Qin said as he smoked a cigarette and looked at the living room on the small screen. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It was all brought by Wang Xiaoman's brother Wang Changping.

Li Mo didn't have Uncle Qin's indignation, if they all cooperated like this, he would still be desperate.

"Li Mo, I heard that you have another business to open?" asked Wang Changping.

"You say it's Yimei?"

"Yes, it's Yimei. ”

"Brother Wang, Yimei, you can't," Li Mo shook his head and said, he originally wanted to say, I let you invest in Yi'an and New Oriental, Yi'an is for you to make money, although New Oriental can't make much money for the time being, but it has a lot of positive significance, especially for you second generations, it will be of great help.

As for a very small number of media criticizing Li Mo some time ago, it may not be that the media is attacking Li Mo, but that some old people may have doubts about him, and it is not that these second and third generations can be even.

But in the long run, New Oriental will have a more positive significance than the New World Fang in his previous life, and will be recognized by more and more people.

Of course, this has to wait for his stall to spread out to see the effect, not only to study abroad, the biggest positive significance is that New Oriental's subsidiary Lefu Company, such as the development of the sericulture industry, Silk Yili directly purchased, and some ingredients, Yi'an directly purchased, and other non-staple foods, directly put in the supermarket for sale...... The bigger the stall, the more farmers will benefit, and more and more areas will be lifted out of poverty. For the second and third generations of these officials, with the latter two, it is not profitable, but it is also cost-effective.

However, Wang Changping brought a lot of people this time.

There are also a few beautiful girls, two of them are very beautiful, one girl is wearing a blue embroidered chiffon dress, which looks very elegant, and another girl is wearing a T-shirt with a pair of jeans underneath, full of youthful vitality.

Looking at these girls, Li Mo felt a little slanderous in his heart, could it be that there are really a few old people above who want to give him a blind date?

In fact, if he really became married to one of the girls, it would help him somewhat, at least to some extent, he could also belong to one of these people.

But then, he is only one member, even a member of the family...... Keep it simple, son-in-law.

Leave aside the son-in-law for the time being, the main reason is that there are so many people, and seventy percent are not shareholders of Yi'an and New Oriental, there is no doubt that they are plotting Yili.

Li Mo changed his statement: "Brother Wang, when I asked you to invest in New Oriental and Yi'an, one is a company with fast returns, and the other is a company with slow returns, but it can help many people, Yimei may be a little different." ”

Li Mo said, first asked Aunt Liu to make tea for them, and said: "Yimei is a daily chemical, including all kinds of cosmetics, cosmetics also need quality, but it is not like clothing, it can be seen and touched, and it is not a game industry, whether the picture is realistic, whether the game is good-looking, you will know it as soon as you get started, so many daily chemical products have a process of accumulation." Western countries are a little better, especially our Chinese cosmetics are temporarily difficult to get international recognition. Therefore, I arranged for someone to buy the top French brand Ranko and the American brand Maybelline, and used these two brands to forcibly promote the Yimei brand. Not only that, but there are many outlets, and the amount of investment in it will be a staggering amount, with the potential to reach more than three billion dollars...... So this time, although I continued to put part of the production base in Modu, I only bought land, and did not let Modu become a shareholder. ”

Actually, it's another reason.

Originally, Yile was the OEM company of Rongdeke, but now it is not, it is OEM for many toy companies.

Yili China Company has its own outlet store.

The headquarters of Yi'an and New Oriental are in China, or it is a Chinese company, but it is just a joint venture.

With the research and development of various technologies, Li Mo intends to let the Yi'an subsidiary also start to produce some electronic products, including the production of parts and assembly for mobile phones in the future, to see if it can embark on the road of Foxconn in the future.

Yimei subsidiary, that is purely a subordinate relationship, why should this pure subordinate relationship be separated? That is also a pure waste of resources, there is no need to split, and there is no need to let the Modu Municipal Government enter.

For these second generations, it is the same, it will be profitable in the future, but the investment amount is too large, how much money can they save?

"That's a lot. ”

"It's not a matter of more or less, Brother Wang, I told Wang Xiaoman before, at the beginning, I was accumulating experience in China, sharpening talents, and the investment amount would not be too large. The main reason is that it is a little risky, I am a little unsure, all I use is foreign exchange, you can't borrow if you want to. So I don't recommend you to join, of course, if you have to join, I will acquiesce......"

Li Mo said the total investment amount, and said that it was foreign exchange that was used, and these second generations took the initiative to retreat.

Wang Xiaoman asked puzzledly: "It's risky, why don't you invest so much money in it?"

"Using so much money can quickly produce a brand effect, as for the risk, that investment will be risky, but it is a difference between high and low. I invest on my own, it doesn't matter if the risk is a little higher, or even with some foreigners, because I can make more money with them in other ways. But you are different, and I have to be responsible for you. If you want to join, in the future, it may be a year or two, there is a great opportunity, although the investment is relatively high, but the risk is very small, the rate of return is very high, I will take the initiative to contact you at that time. ”

"Not now?"

"Not now, the policy is not clear, and when the people are allowed to set fires, I can enter. ”

"The people set fire to ......" Wang Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, and then dumbfounded.

The main reason why they would rather let foreigners make money than further open up private enterprises is that they are afraid that the country will move towards capitalism.

All right......

So why did some people with backgrounds resell approvals, smuggle cars, etc., very early, isn't this worse than the consequences caused by running a private enterprise?

Therefore, Li Mo's view on some old people's so-called adherence to socialism is that they would rather the state officials set fires than the people to light the lamps.

Li Mo also directly said to Secretary Tie that the country will inevitably open up its line, the reason is simple, the United States wants to truly implement the petrodollar policy, so the war in the Gulf must be fought. As soon as it starts, China will immediately realize how backward China's technology and weapons are.

If the Gulf War wasn't enough, there was the collapse of the Soviet Union. As soon as the Soviet Union collapsed, China was undoubtedly on the cusp of the limelight, and did it dare to continue to grind?

These second generations are also dumbfounded.

Let them follow Li Mo to get a little light, and when it comes to national decision-making, none of them dares to talk nonsense.

But we can't underestimate the energy of these second generations, such as Yi'an and New Oriental, which has been going smoothly almost all the time, and the white and black have disappeared together.

"Li Mo, my sister is going to study in the United States soon. ”

"Okay, the school?"

"It's the university where your classmates are. ”

"Stanford?"

"Exactly, I'm worried about my English ......"

"Yuan Guobin, where are they, I'll make a phone call and let them teach you speaking skills. Li Mo said casually, as for what department Wang Xiaoman studied at Stanford, Li Mo didn't ask at all. Does it matter what you learn? The important thing is that you have learned it, and you have gilded it.

When these people came, Li Mo, as the "host", deliberately took time out to entertain them.

As for the negotiations with L'Oréal, they continue.

But the first heavyweight negotiation was not L'Oréal, but with Intel and Texas Instruments.

Li Mo asked Hollick to allocate 720 million to Intel and $220 million to Texas Instruments to buy all kinds of required patent licenses.

CFIUS did not intervene in this negotiation.

Li Mo pondered that there were several reasons: The United States might use troops against Iraq, but like Vietnam, Iraq also claimed to be the "third power in the world" before it encountered a strong opponent. It is not that Li Mo can play any role, but that this further tightening of the policy may bring some negative effects to the United States.

The economy of the United States is not very good, maybe in the hearts of Americans, even if these technology patents are authorized to Qualcomm, Qualcomm and TSMC to the wafer chip industry, but it is inseparable from the United States, not the technology can be produced, want to manufacture wafers and chips, need a lot of sophisticated instruments, China simply cannot provide.

Therefore, Li Mo's industries must stay in the United States to develop, so these funds and jobs will still remain in the United States.

Bush Sr. himself is not very hostile to China, and in fact, since this year, Bush Sr. himself has been working hard to repair relations with China, but with the end of the Soviet Union, China's role has become lower and lower, and last year's incident has given these people a good excuse, and the anti-China voice in the United States has also become stronger again, so the relations between the two countries are still lukewarm.

Li Mo said on the phone that he would sign the contract immediately.

This price is a bit high, in fact, these two companies plan to launch new products soon, which means that Li Mo only got some technology that was gradually being eliminated at a high price, which was equivalent to giving them money.

In addition, whether it is wafers or chips, these two companies do not only own these two companies, but also many companies in the United States, Japan and Europe have relevant technology and technology patents. The American media also verified Li Mo's speculation, and they were generally not optimistic about the acquisition, and could only say that Li Mo had enough ability to make money from the risk market, and maybe people lost hundreds of millions of dollars and didn't care.

But...... After Li Mo heard this price, he was overjoyed, he thought for a while, and then said: "After signing the contract, we will negotiate with Motorola and Siemens respectively, and take advantage of the situation to take down the relevant technology." ”

In his mind, these companies may join forces to impose a blockade on him, so he said that he is ready to exchange lithium-ion battery technology for patents in the future. But in that case, there will undoubtedly be a loss of monopoly advantage, which cannot be bought by any amount of money.

Later, Hao Like completed a second acquisition for Li Mo, acquiring Maybelline for $1.24 billion.

There is no objection to this acquisition from various media, and overall Maybelline benefits are okay, in addition to the brand, there are also a large number of fixed assets. However, the descendants of Maybelline's founder Williams were not interested in running Maybelline, and Li Mo overflowed some price, and it was reasonable to take Maybelline. Maybelline's original shareholders received a lot of cash, and as long as Li Mo didn't mess up Maybelline's brand, he could also get a lot of returns every year, which was a win-win acquisition transaction.

As for the US Foreign Investment Commission, it will not bother either, it is just a fashion brand, not a high-tech industry.

This was followed by the completion of the third acquisition.

Yibao acquired Japan's Jiafukang Company for 500 million US dollars, and Li Mo appointed Kenzo Tsujimoto, the founder of Jiafukang, as the new CEO of Yibao.

In fact, Li Mo was slightly dissatisfied with this transaction, he thought that he gave too many shares to Jiafukang, but after hearing that Nintendo began to send people to intervene to stop the transaction, Li Mo was also worried that the night would be long, and the acquisition of Jiafukang would indeed have a lot of benign help to Yibao, so he reluctantly agreed to Tsujimoto Kenzo's conditions.

However, Kenzo Tsujimoto himself also believes that Yibao has given too few shares, and if it were not for Jiafukang's embarrassment, even if he gave 10% of the shares, he might not have sold Jiafukang to Yibao. Of course, Li Mo asked him to be the CEO of Yibao and enjoy the same treatment as Yokoi Junpei, which still satisfied him.

Li Mo did not pay for this transaction, it was an acquisition in the form of a loan, but the outside world did not know that these mergers and acquisitions with huge funds attracted the attention of many media, so they were snubbed for a while, and some media began to speculate how much money Li Mo could make in this short selling.

Just when various media reports were circulating, Xerfman finally completed the heaviest deal for Li Mo......
