It seems that it was not only Jin Xiaoqiang's family who had done the investigation beforehand, but of course Jeffrey's gang came prepared.
"Hehe, Mr. no.no.no Jeffrey, you just said, now lithium batteries are just a conceptual stage, there is no successful precedent, and the technology of lithium batteries is not mature, and there is no large number of put on the market, so at present we are optimistic about lithium batteries This piece is indeed true, but you should also note that this is also an abnormal gamble, betting that is, we are optimistic about the breakthrough of lithium battery technology, if the technology of lithium batteries can not make a breakthrough in a few years, So what do we do? Is it only a supplier of raw materials for tinted glass? I'm not very bullish on this, so I think you know better than I know the risks of this investment. ”
Jin Xiaoqiang said to Jeffrey with a smile, although he is very anxious in his heart now, but he is now blocking this Jeffrey, who is more anxious than him.
After all, if you don't get $200 million by the end of January, it's not yourself who will be doomed, but Jeffrey's gang.
Jeffrey is also very difficult here, he now wants to get the funds in Jin Xiaoqiang's hands, and he also wants to make concessions in the negotiations, but he is afraid that this will make his other two partners feel uncomfortable.
After all, he found the people, if he made too many concessions in the negotiations, he was afraid that his partners would feel that he was not eating inside and out, and even if he successfully got those big mines from Jonathan's gang, I am afraid that there will be conflicts within the company.
Jeffrey's hesitant expression, Jin Xiaoqiang also saw it, he didn't plan to force Jeffrey too close, so he gave him plenty of time to think about it.
Jeffrey thought for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said to Jin Xiaoqiang.
"Mr. Jin, let's do this, we can give up to 35% of the shares of Talisen Lithium Mining Company in exchange for your 200 million Australian dollars investment, do you think this is the end office?"
When Jeffrey said this, he had actually made a big concession, but in Jin Xiaoqiang's opinion, he still felt that it was not enough, so he decided to take the initiative.
"Haha, so let's do that, Mr. Jeffrey, we're going to invest $300 million, $200 million of that for the acquisition of the mines in Jonathan's hands, and the other $100 million, which will be used to expand the company's operations in the future, but we're going to have a 45 percent stake in the company, what do you think?"
Jin Xiaoqiang put forward his proposal with a smile, holding 45% of the shares, he can definitely become the largest single shareholder of the company, and it will not exceed 50% of the control, and it will not attract the attention of the Australian political axe, after all, the current Talisen is still a little-known small company.
When Jeffrey heard Jin Xiaoqiang's proposal, he couldn't help but be amazed, this Jin Xiaoqiang is really good at doing business, and he said that more than 100 million yuan will be used for the company's future expansion operation, but no one can see that this 100 million is actually giving them three shareholders to share the money.
If you praise the equity distribution, he alone can get forty or fifty million Australian dollars, which is not a small amount, and indeed want to Jin Xiaoqiang said, lithium battery is still just a concept, the current risk of this project is still very large, if you hold less shares, it is equivalent to everyone reducing their investment risk in the new company, and now a part of the equity is realized, so why do you want to do it?
"Uh...... Okay, Mr. Kim, I'm really interested in your proposal, but you also know that this company is not mine alone, I need some time to discuss with my partners, and I'll get back to you tomorrow at the latest, can you? ”
Jeffrey wants to go back to Larry, and Matt is in Sydney now, because he usually spends his time in his own laboratory at the University of Sydney, and Larry can communicate with him by phone or video.
Jeffrey believes that convincing the two of them should not be a big problem.
"Okay, no problem, I'll wait for your good news."
Jin Xiaoqiang replied with a smile.
Jeffrey left, and Jin Guozhu pulled Jin Xiaoqiang and asked.
"Son, is it appropriate to spend 180 million yuan to control 45 percent of the shares of this company?"
Before coming to Australia this time, Jin Guozhu brought all the funds in his hands, and then borrowed one billion yuan from the bank through a mortgage, anyway, he is now a high-quality customer of the bank, and there are two big mines in his hands, so the bank believes in him very much, and there is no problem with the loan.
And Jin Xiaoqiang also transferred 500 million from Huayang Power, this year in the year-end financial summary after New Year's Day, he learned that Huayang Power's profit scale this year reached about 2.56 billion, excluding various expenses, and the net profit reached about 960 million.
Jin Xiaoqiang took out 60 million yuan and distributed it to the management and its employees as a bonus at the end of the year, and before he bought Google's shares, he also left 2 billion funds for the company, although it has spent almost more than 200 million yuan so far, but there are still more than 1700 million funds, even if the company is expanding next year, this money is enough.
So his current funds can be said to be very abundant, his father took 1.5 billion, and he took out 500 million from this year's profits of Huayang Power, planning to come to Australia to make a big deal.
The reason why so much money is prepared is also because Australians are famous for their backsliding, so Jin Xiaoqiang brought enough funds this time, which shows that he is determined to invest in this time.
"Yes, hehe, when the time comes, Dad, you will be the chairman of the board of directors of the company, but let them do the command work, let's learn while watching, don't worry." I believe that in a few years, lithium batteries will make a breakthrough in technology, and then this company will definitely be able to become the hen that will lay our golden eggs. ”
Jin Xiaoqiang said to Jin Guozhu with a smile, although the lithium mine under Talisen is not the largest in the world like Australia's iron ore, but the quality of this company's lithium ore powder is very good.
And it's not expensive to mine, which is why the company has since become China's largest supplier of lithium ore.
In addition, if you start your own electric vehicle project in the future, you will also need a lot of lithium ore, and if you master this company now, then the manufacturing cost of your company's electric vehicle will be reduced a lot in the future.
Early the next morning, Jeffrey came to the hotel early to continue negotiations with Jin Xiaoqiang, but when he came today, he was happy, and it seemed that they had reached a consensus in the communication with his partners yesterday.
"Mr. Kim, we have decided to agree to your conditions, if you contribute 300 million Australian dollars, you will get 45% of the shares of New Talisen Lithium Resources Co., Ltd."
As soon as the negotiations began, Jeffrey went straight to the point and said to Jin Xiaoqiang.
"Yes, that's good, but I'd like to know how you distributed the remaining shares?"
"I'm going to have 25 percent of the remaining shares, and Larry and Matt are going to have 15 percent each."
"Okay, good, but I have one more condition."
"Huh? What are the conditions, you can tell me? ”
"If the company has shareholders in the future and wants to sell their shares, we will have the right of first refusal."
"Haha, don't worry, no problem, everyone is optimistic about this industry, Mr. Jin I believe that Larry and Matt are not so stupid, and want to sell their shares, even if there is, I will promise it for them, you are definitely useful with limited purchase rights."
"Alright, now we can talk about the details of the contract......"
Three days later, Jin Xiaoqiang and Jeffrey signed a contract to take a stake in the new Talisen Lithium Resources Co., Ltd., and the new contract indicated that a Bermuda-registered company under the name of Jin Guozhu would become the largest single shareholder of the new Talisen Company, with 45 percent of the shares, and Jin Guozhu would become the chairman of the company, but the position of general manager would still be handed over to Jeffrey, who was familiar with the company's operation.
On the day the contract was finalized, Jeffrey introduced two other shareholders of the company to Mr. Kim, with Larry flying in from Western Australia and Matt himself from the University of Sydney's lab.
Compared with the short and stocky Larry, Jin Xiaoqiang is more interested in Matt, who is thin and has a little gray hair and beard.
The reason for his interest in Matt is because of the guy's patent for a new processing process for solar cells.
In order to celebrate the success of the cooperation between the two sides, they held a meeting this time, but the meeting was held in a very low-key manner, just a cold lunch in their original negotiation room.
After a brief introduction and conversation, Kim went to deal with Jeffrey and Larry, accompanied by an interpreter, while Kim Xiaoqiang found Matt.
"Hello, Mr. Matt, nice to meet you."
"Hello, Mr. Kim, I'm glad to meet you too."
"Matt, uh, can I call you that?"
"Haha, no problem, that's what my friends call me."
Although Matt is also a scientist, he is much more mature in social terms than Professor Herris, who studies biological cells, and he has narrowed the distance between him and Jin Xiaoqiang in just a few words.
"Matt, I heard from Jeffrey that you work in the Solar Lab at the University of Sydney, and you've done a really good job."
Jin Xiaoqiang said tentatively.
"Haha, I dare not take it seriously, my achievements in solar energy are not comparable to your achievements in automobiles, I like the edo sedan you developed, to be honest, I bought one on the day the car was launched in Australia."
