Chapter 356: You Burned My Flag (Medium)
"No need. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Smith shook his head and looked at Xiao Jiudao: "After the two teams determine the basic terms, let's sign the contract." ”
"Okay." Xiao Jiu couldn't help laughing.
He just likes to trade like this.
"Mr. Xiao, goodbye." Unhappy with the result, Smith didn't stay in the office long and left.
"Contact the agency." Xiao Jiu said to the secretary.
An hour later, all intermediaries, including financing institutions and law firms, were in place to negotiate the details of the contract with Tuoli, and in just one day, the two parties determined the final terms of the contract.
The place where the contract was signed was the conference room of the Lorraine pharmaceutical company.
When Xiao Jiu signed the contract, behind him, the staff of financing institutions, law firms and other collaborators were all happy.
Not only did they successfully complete the project, but they also saved the employer a lot of money on acquisitions!
The Brunte mine is a mine with good profit prospects.
And the cost of Lorraine Pharmaceutical's acquisition of this mine is as low as 100 million US dollars!
On the contrary, there was a somewhat somber atmosphere on the side of the representatives of Tuoli.
Mr. Smith kept a tense face the whole time, as if Xiao Jiu owed him a million dollars. Behind him, several of the attachés were also silent.
After the two sides signed the contract, Smith and Xiao Jiu shook hands heavily.
Now, with the approval of the Australian government, the deal can be done.
"It's a pleasure to work with." Xiao Jiu smiled.
Smith nodded, not saying much.
Politely, Xiao Jiu shook hands with several attachés behind Smith.
"Dear Mr. Xiao, your bid is too low." A white woman surnamed Xiao Jiu, who was about thirty years old, had a lot of freckles on her face, and her pores were extraordinarily large, and complained to Xiao Jiu.
"Ma'am, it seems to me that our bid is already on the high side." Xiao Jiu said with a smile: "If you get 100 million, you will get rid of the Brunte mine, and your superiors should be very satisfied with this result." ”
“no、no、no。” The white lady shook her head and said, "Mr. Xiao, your Lorraine Pharmaceutical is making amazing profits every day. You're so rich, why bother paying an extra $12 million to buy the Brunte mine? ”
Insight into a complicated mood of looking at the nouveau riche from this white man, Xiao Jiu laughed: "Rio Tinto's iron ore business is like a money printing machine, making amazing profits every day, why don't you sell me the Bronte mine for 10 million cheaper?" ”
The white female surname was instantly speechless.
"Ma'am, although I have money, it is up to me to decide how to use it." Xiao Jiu smiled: "Money is a good thing that can make God crazy, who would have too much?" ”
A burst of laughter sounded behind Xiao Jiu, and the project leader of an intermediary agency clapped his palms.
In recent years, more and more domestic enterprises have been engaged in mergers and acquisitions. As an intermediary agency, he naturally looked at many foreign companies, and regarded some domestic entrepreneurs as rich rural people who had never seen the world and had a lot of money and fooled around at will.
But many of these self-made CEOs have experienced hardships when starting their businesses, how can they be fooled casually?
"Alright, Kate, shut up." Smith glanced coldly at the past and said.
The woman, named Kate, was silent.
Although there were some unpleasantness, this signing meeting was generally more harmonious.
After signing the agreement, the company declined the banquet of Lorraine Pharmaceutical and chose to leave directly.
"Mr. Smith, our company has really suffered a loss by selling the Bronte mine this time." Kate is still complaining: "According to the company's original plan, the sale price of the mine should not be less than 200 million." ”
"However, the true value of the mine is only 60 million at most, isn't it?" Smith was very calm, and said.
"Shit, that Chinese tyrant is so rich, why is the bid so low!?" Kate still looked indignant and said: "I see his attitude, as if he is in a hurry to buy our Australian diamond mines, but why is he unwilling to raise the bid?" ”
"Don't worry, I'll make him pay a higher price." Smith smiled slightly, as if he was in control of everything: "I have contacted the Becky Councillor of the WA Provincial Council...... This time the Chinese invested in the Bronte mine, which should be regarded as a 'gift' to him. ”
When Kate heard this, a smile finally appeared on her face.
Two or three days after the signing of the contract, Lorraine Pharmaceuticals was still doing the follow-up work of the acquisition.
At this time, in the Australian capital, a newspaper called the Australian Herald reported that Tuoli was preparing to transfer a diamond mine in the Agai area to the Chinese.
"Of course, we are happy to see investment from abroad." Becky MP of the WA MP told reporters: "But I hope that the acquirer will abide by the laws of our country, as well as the local customs of our WA and the rights and interests of ordinary workers in the Bronte mines." ”
But in the final part of the report, it was not very harmonious, with two local officials expressing concern about the "red capital" invasion.
The day after the report broke, the Brunte mine union went on strike to protest Tuoli's sale of the Brunte mine to a "red dragon" from the north.
"Support this acquisition? No, no, of course we are against this acquisition. The president of the mine's union told a Western Australian television outlet: "You know, we have a different philosophy from investors from China...... They will turn the Brunte mines into sweatshops, draining every drop of blood out of us. It is even very likely that they will carry out large-scale layoffs after the acquisition of the mine. ”
Another worker, about 40 years old with a blond beard, said helplessly to the camera: "I have been serving the Brunte mine for 12 years...... But the Chinese bought our mines, will they sweep me away? ”
In just three days.
The acquisition of the Bronte mine has become a small hot spot in Australia, especially in Western Australia.
"The Brunte mine is only about twenty kilometers away from the Rudd naval base." An insider from the Australian Ministry of Defense said: "We need to assess whether this acquisition will pose a threat to our national defense security." ”
"Rio Tinto and the acquirer have already submitted applications to us." A spokesperson for the Australian Investment and Trade Commission said: "But we need more information before we can decide whether to approve this application." ”
