Chapter 407: Bargging
On the morning of the 22nd, Liu Xing got on a plane to London. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoTwo newspapers plus a TV station, the other party issued a total of 140 million US dollars, as long as the money arrives, you can sign a contract immediately.
It is estimated that they investigated Liu Xing's information in advance, and the place where the contract was signed happened to be the source of taste restaurant in London. In the special parking space where the black Mercedes-Benz worked hard to park, Lin Guang handed the car key to the doorman and led Liu Xing towards the private room.
Today, Liu Xing is wearing a slim suit that Zhou Ting matched for him, and the whole person looks very handsome, just like a professional model, full of aura in every move.
The second floor of the restaurant.
Seeing Liu Xing coming up, Russell turned his head sideways and said to the three middle-aged people beside him: "This is Mr. Liu, and the three-Michelin star hotel that signed the contract today is under his banner." ”
After sitting down, Liu Xing nodded to the three of them with a smile and said, "Rusell, Tony, Jonas, and Mr. Baker, you four have been waiting for a long time, and it is a little inconvenient to come from Huaxia." ”
Russell waved his hand and said, "We just arrived, too." ”
Liu Xing picked up the menu from the table and politely handed it to Russell, "Before signing the contract, let's have something to eat, I have some questions about newspapers and TV stations, and I want to ask you." ”
Russell ordered a few things casually, returned the menu to the waiter, and said, "I don't know what to drink when I eat Chinese food, so you can watch and arrange it." ”
When the waiter left, Liu Xing took out a document from the box and put it on the table, "Three, I came with sincerity this time, but the price you offered is indeed a bit high."
The two newspapers lost 7 million and 4.8 million respectively, and I had to spend 40 million to buy the two newspapers and take on more than 10 million bank loans. The most important thing is that now the editors and reporters of the newspaper are almost gone, which is equivalent to me spending 50 million yuan to buy two shell companies.
As for the price of 80 million for the TV station, it is also a bit inflated. According to my research, the highest ratings of this TV station in the UK are no more than 1, and it has not signed any big-name hosts, and it does not even have a program that can be handled. ”
When Jonas heard this, his face became a little anxious, and he quickly explained: "Mr. Liu, you can't say that. The business qualification certificates of the two magazines and TV stations add up to 40 million US dollars, plus some other facilities, 120 million US dollars is really not expensive. ”
Liu Xing smiled, turned his head to look at the remaining two, and said, "Tony, Mr. Baker, do you think this price is a bit high?" ”
Tony chuckled in his heart, the newspaper is doing very badly now. If he misses this opportunity, then he can only voluntarily file for bankruptcy for a month at most. When the time comes, not only will you not get anything, but you will also have to take on a huge debt.
However, seeing the other two silently, he had to calm down even if he was in a hurry. Before coming, he and the other two had studied Liu Xing's mental price, which should be around 110 million US dollars.
Just then, there was a knock at the door, and the waiter walked in with the dishes. Tony breathed a sigh of relief and took out a tissue to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"Let's eat first." Liu Xing frowned slightly.
The taste of the meal was very good, and with the twenty-year-old cellared Moutai, it was supposed to be a Pixiu feast. But the people present were so preoccupied that they didn't want to taste the food, so they just ate two bites and put down their chopsticks.
Liu Xing took a sip of his wine glass, smacked his lips and said, "Then let's continue the topic just now, this is my offer to newspapers and TV stations, you can take a look first." ”
Tony curiously took the quotation form, and after scanning the numbers on it, his hand suddenly shook, and he lost his voice: "Mr. Liu, your price is too low, the two newspapers quoted 13 million and 90 million respectively, and the TV station is only 57 million. ”
Liu Xing shook his head, propped his hands on the table, and said word by word: "Murdoch's company has offered you a purchase price, and the price he paid is one-third lower than mine, and he does not accept the company's debts, I am already very kind."
This is my final offer to newspapers and TV stations, and I will not change it. If you agree, then sign the contract and I'll be able to transfer the money right away. If you don't agree, then I think you can wait for a month. ”
Russell took a bite of the dish and squinted his eyes in enjoyment, savoring the taste in his mouth. He just provided a platform for the two sides to communicate, anyway, he couldn't buy it now, and after a month, Liu Xing could win two newspapers and TV stations at a lower price.
Jonnas's face turned pale, and his voice raised several degrees, "Mr. Liu, you are taking advantage of the fire to rob." ”
Liu Xing said with a calm face: "I am rich, but my money is not blown by the wind." Aren't you also trying to get a deal out of me when you offer inflated prices?
It's a two-way street, and if you don't want to, can I force you to sign it? After so many years of crawling around in the mall, you won't even understand this truth. ”
The three of them glanced at each other and were silent, constantly weighing the gains and losses in their hearts.
Liu Xing didn't force them, picked up the wine glass and signaled to Russell, took a sip, and ate the food by himself. Anyway, their reserve price has already been opened, and they have to make money at this price, and they will definitely sign it in the end.
Ten minutes passed, and Tony made the first choice, trembling as he wrote his name on the contract. Jonas and Baker couldn't hold on, so they signed contracts one after another, and since then Liu Xing has two more newspapers and a TV station.
Regarding the two newspapers and TV stations, Liu Xing already had a preliminary plan in his mind.
A newspaper has created a food magazine that reports on new dishes, promotions, and branch profiles of Ajinogen. As for the TV station, a new program will be launched - "The Source of Food and Taste".
In each episode of this show, three and five chefs from Origin of Taste will be invited to make signature dishes of Origin of Taste. Not only can it attract the attention of some foodies, but it can also take advantage of the opportunity to promote the source of taste, killing two birds with one stone.
The three of them got the check, didn't stay any longer, and left directly. Now that the contract is in force, it is not possible to change it.
Russell pushed away the chair and stood up, and said, "Mr. Liu, I still have some things to deal with here, so I'll leave first." Remember the conditions you promised me, 2,000 jobs, all of which had to be hired by Londoners. ”
"Don't worry, I'm sure I'll see you in half a year." Liu Xing stretched out his hand and shook Russell. (To be continued.) )
