Chapter 177: Cisco's Negotiation Results

The licensing fee of 10 million US dollars, Tex secretly calculated in his heart, even if there is a profit of 6,000 yuan per land certificate, it will take more than 10,000 copies to be sold outside Asia to achieve breakeven, in Tex's mind, the marketing cost in foreign regions must be higher than Liu Xun's marketing cost in China, and the profit of one is estimated to not even reach 6,000.

In his opinion, although sales in Asia are good, in the Americas, it would be good to sell 20,000 copies. If this is estimated, Liu Xun used this price to obtain the exclusive agency rights around the world, which is simply spending a lot of money to buy a chicken rib thing, which is equivalent to working in vain, and there is basically no profit outside of Asia.

"Liu, are you sure you're talking about nine million dollars and not nine hundred thousand?" Turks was still a little unconvinced.

"Hahaha, Turks, you heard it right, it's really nine million not nine hundred thousand, and it's nine million dollars, not RMB, you heard it wrong. I think that if you do this, you will be able to make up for the loss of your exclusive agency in Asia, right? We're friends, aren't we? ”

Liu Xun smiled at Tex, business negotiations, naturally to keep a hand, if his true purpose is exposed, then Tex will really open his mouth, of course, he does make up for Tex's meaning, in the exclusive agency in Asia, naturally it is too cheap, if it is too greedy, it is not good.

He naturally knew that the offer of five million dollars would probably not be able to be rejected by Tex, but he still added four million more, which not only achieved his goal, but also won Tex's favor, so why not.

Moreover, Liu Xun does not think that the exclusive agency power around the world will be a chicken rib, although he bids high, but it may not be unprofitable, this land certificate in the Americas, there should still be a lot of market potential to be tapped, in the final analysis, or market means. This thing happens to be well integrated with the commemoration of Columbus, Turks's previous publicity in the United States, to be honest, the little family is a little angry, Liu Xun naturally has other means to tap the market potential of the Americas.

"Oh God, no, dear Liu, you are so generous, you are my God, my closest friend." Tex was a little incoherent now, and he finally believed now that Liu Xun was indeed trying to compensate for his losses in Asia, and he couldn't help but be grateful.

In fact, Liu Xun purchased about 80,000 land certificates from him before and after to stock up in China, and so far, the total payment between the two sides is 10 million US dollars, as for the Tex can earn from it, it is about five or six million US dollars, but he doesn't want to drop 10 million US dollars out of thin air now, he can't help but be a little surprised if he doesn't understand Liu Xun's true intentions.

Just like the licensing contract for the exclusive agency in Asia that the two of them hastily signed for the first time, this time, the discussion between the two was still extremely brief, and it was quickly resolved, Liu Xun, who was proficient in contracts, quickly wrote a rough contract, and Turks looked at it carefully, and after seeing that there were no loopholes and pitfalls, he signed his name.

After the contract was notarized, he sent away Tex who regarded himself as a god with a face full of surprise, Liu Xun couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, took Zhou Peiwan's hand on the side and smiled, "Finally solved another hidden danger, now it's reassuring." ”

Zhou Peiwan smiled slightly and didn't say anything, she naturally knew Liu Xun's true intentions, in fact, Liu Xun discovered this hidden danger before, or under her reminder.

In the next few days, Liu Xun has been staying in New York, and the matter on Cisco's side has not been completely settled, Liu Xun can't completely put his mind at ease, anyway, the Spring Festival has been missed, and now it's not interesting to meet in China, and the negotiations on Cisco's side also need him to keep an eye on it, so he simply stayed in the United States and waited for the results from Cisco.

I haven't seen the scenery of New York well when I went to New York several times, but now it's okay, don't worry about the negotiation, Liu Xun took Zhou Peiwan around, sometimes asked her to take herself to take a good look at the scenery of New York, and sometimes went to the office of the XP fund with her to have a long experience.

It is only when it comes to the XP fund that Zhou Peiwan will let go of her gentle look, reveal the strong aura of a strong woman in the capital market, and command many employees of the XP fund to fight in the capital market.

At this time, Zhou Peiwan's temperament is actually the most heartbroken for Liu Xun, and Liu Xun appreciates and likes it the most, even if it is Liu Xun, who has seen many big names in the shopping mall in another time and space, Liu Xun has to admire at this moment, and the aunt should be born in the capital market. Wall Street's financial predators, sooner or later, have a place for their aunts. If it were possible, he would have liked to stay in the XP fund and keep looking at his aunt's commanding appearance.

In the past few days, he has seen most of the top ten attractions in New York, and by the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the negotiations on Cisco's side have finally been completed.

The negotiation on the side of the Lena couple was completed first, and the two of them had already made a decision, and all they negotiated was to write small details.

In the end, the result of the negotiations was that Lena and his wife sold 30.2% of their shares in Cisco to Liu Xun, keeping only 5%.

Based on Cisco's current market value of $650 million, the market value of this part of the shares should be about $196 million, according to the results of the negotiations, Liu Xun needs to pay a premium of $14 million, a total of $210 million to get this part of the shares of the Lerna couple, although the premium is not low, but Liu Xun feels that it is worth it, compared to the future Cisco, what he pays now, it is not a dime.

Valentine's negotiations ended the next day, and like the Lernes, Valentine finally chose to keep 5 percent of the shares, trading to Liu Xun for a 24.1% share, and he would resign as chairman of Cisco, and Mogridge would be the interim chairman. Liu Xun can take over as chairman, but now it is obviously not suitable, Liu Xun is not willing to put himself in the spotlight, and Mogridge will be the chairman, which is the best, in another time and space, Mogridge only stepped down as CEO and took over as chairman in 95 years, this time and space, Liu Xun made this point in time a lot earlier.

In fact, even in another time and space, between '91 and '95, Morgridge exercised the powers of chairman while being CEO, and Chambers, though only senior vice president, exercised half of the duties and powers of CEO.

The value of the stake traded with Valentine is $156 million, and Mr. Liu will also have to pay a $14 million premium to get the stake for $170 million.

In another time and space, Lena and his wife traded two-thirds of their Cisco shares at a price of $170 million, which is also about 24%, and the bottom line set by Liu Xun for the negotiation team is based on the price in this memory. Of course, the result will be different from another time and space, he will spend $380 million to acquire a 54.3% stake in Cisco, and Vista Investment will also enter the stage of history for the first time, becoming the majority shareholder of Cisco.

Liu Xun admired it at this time, in another time and space, the person who took over that part of the shares from Lena and his wife, I don't know if it was good vision or good luck, it was definitely the most correct decision in his life, there was no one.

380 million US dollars, which is a huge number for the current Liu Xun, calculated at the exchange rate of 1 to 5.5 between the US dollar and the RMB in 92, is about 2.1 billion yuan, which is much higher than Liu Xun's current worth.

In fact, if you add the hot sale of Country Court and the U.S. land certificate, it is possible to make it up, the valuation of the first phase of Country Court is more than 700 million US dollars, and if the U.S. land certificate has a sales volume of 200,000 points, the sales will be close to 2 billion.

But although these two are super cash cows, it takes time for cows to be milked, and in the current situation, even if the sales of Country Garden and the United States land certificate are good, it will not be until the end of 92 to squeeze out one or two billion in cash, which also requires Country Garden to not burn money.

However, it is obvious that this is impossible, Country Garden must require a lot of investment, and Valentine and Lera will not be willing to wait for him for a year, so Liu Xun actually has another solution for such a large amount of money.

In fact, before that, Liu Xun had already exchanged this problem with Valentine, who, as the helmsman of Sequoia Capital, had good relations with many banks on Wall Street, and Liu Xun's so-called solution was to let Valentine take the lead and let him use Cisco's shares as collateral to obtain loans from Wall Street banks to cushion his financial pressure.

This method of cushioning financial pressure is common in M&A cases, and Cisco's shares are currently high-quality shares, and although they are not very popular on the Nasdaq, their market value has been growing at a very stable rate.

Valentine has good connections on Wall Street, and Liu Xun still thinks he can get a three-year loan of $300 million with 50 percent of Cisco's high-quality shares.

Even if Valentine doesn't help, Liu Xun can ask Zhou Peiwan to help, even if he can't get financing from Wall Street, Liu Xun can also choose domestic financing channels, for the future of 500 billion US dollars, even if Liu Xun is willing to completely give up the shares of Country Garden now.

Fortunately, Valentine and Liu Xun had a good conversation, and he was naturally willing to help with this little favor, so on the third day after the conclusion of the share negotiations, Vista Investment and Citibank also signed a loan agreement, and Liu Xun will use 50% of Cisco's shares as collateral to obtain a three-year low-interest loan of 320 million US dollars from Citibank.
