Chapter 600: Investing in Jili (Asking for Orders)
"What? Do you want to take a stake in Jili Holding Group? This is impossible, even if we borrow money, we will not let you take shares! â
"Mr. Li, you are the major shareholder of Jili, even if we become a shareholder, you are still the controlling shareholder, what's wrong with this?" Hu Changsheng said slowly.
"We're going to set up a subsidiary to work with Tata Motors, a company that allows you to take a stake and never make you pay more."
Hu Changsheng shook his head: "A subsidiary, I am not interested in investing yet." To tell the truth, there are not many people in China who can easily come up with seven or eight billion dollars in cash like me. Even if Mr. Li is willing to sell me some more shares, I can still take out a loan and come up with another five or six hundred million dollars, which is not a problem. â
This is Hu Changsheng's self-confidence, more cash! Others have so much money that they either invest in industry or finance, and there is no deposit in zĂ i bank. Jili didn't need a lot of cash this time, and even if Mr. Li could borrow money, he wouldn't be able to borrow much, and he wouldn't be able to pay it back in a short time.
"Mr. Hu, why don't we change the plan, you lend me the money, and I will repay you in five years according to the interest rate of four times the bank......"
Before Mr. Li finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Hu Changsheng: "Don't borrow!" The interest is only how much, if I want to make such a little money, I might as well invest in finance. Although the financial market is not very good now, with my team of prosperous investment, even if I seek stability, the amount of money I can make in a year will not be small. â
Mr. Li turned his head to look at Shi Lei: "Mr. Shi, is this the investment you found for us?" It's not the same as we said yes! â
Shi Lei smiled: "Mr. Li, we said okay, you are short of money, I will find you an investor." If this investor doesn't have enough money, I can invest a hundred million dollars or two. Now that investors have been found, you don't have to worry about your financial strength. How to talk about it is up to both of you to agree. Of course, if Jili is willing to hire me, I can talk to Mr. Hu on behalf of Jili. â
Mr. Li almost didn't choke to death by Shi Lei's words, the person you found is still your friend. If I hire you to talk to him again, I will definitely lose it!"
"In that case, then we have nothing more to talk about. Jelly will not let people re-invest and dilute the equity of other shareholders, which is a promise I made to them. â
"Could it be that Mr. Li is willing to let go of such a great opportunity? If the negotiations with Tata Motors collapse, then Tata Motors will turn around and throw itself into the arms of Geely's competitors, and then seize the market that should have belonged to Geely Motors. Don't forget, there's also a technological update. Brand, market, technology, once Geely gave up this cooperation. It's not a little bit that is lost. Those shareholders don't have diluted their equity, so why don't they take the money out? Hu Changsheng sneered.
Jili's Li is always a very conceited person, and he has failed to convince all shareholders of the heavy decisions he has made, but he still implements them, and every time he makes Geely a leap forward. This time he is bullish on Jaguar Land Rover, but shareholders still disagree. If that's all there is, Mr. Li won't have any complaints. But now the company needs money, and he wants to move everyone. Invest a part of the money in proportion, and it won't take a few years to earn it back, and then it will continue to bring profits to all shareholders, but these shareholders just don't agree!
Hu Changsheng's words just happened to Mr. Li's heart. Once the cooperation is abandoned. The loss of Geely will be very large. Those shareholders are too short-sighted, they don't understand how fast the auto market is changing!
"Let's talk about it today, I'll invite Mr. Hu and Shi Lei to have a light meal in the evening, and please appreciate the light."
Coming out of Jili Holding Group, Shi Lei and Hu Changsheng got together to study again. In the evening, how to persuade Mr. Li to agree to Hu Changsheng's investment.
"Geely would definitely agree to our investment, they can't afford to be hurt by Tata Motors working with other companies. Although Mr. Li didn't want to sell the shares to me, he had to sell them! After selling to me, they will not lose money, and I think with Mr. Li's character, he will definitely be able to convince those shareholders. â
Hu Changsheng's analysis is the same as the results that Shi Lei saw with his heart, with Hu Changsheng, he can always learn a lot from him, and Hu Changsheng never hesitated to teach him.
Of course, Shi Lei knows that these are human favors, and no matter how familiar they are, they can't forget it, after all, Hu Changsheng is not Shi Xitong, and he has no blood relationship with Shi Lei.
In the future, these favors will still be on Hu Haiyang, and if Hu Haiyang encounters any trouble in business in the future, Shi Lei must come forward and spare no effort to help him.
After Hu Changsheng and the others left, Mr. Li immediately contacted all shareholders and held a video conference.
As he expected, the shareholders were either against it or silent, and none of them supported it. The company is still very profitable, and they definitely don't want their equity to be diluted. But it is also difficult for them to come up with money to invest, and this time Geely needs a lot of money, and they think that the return rate of the joint venture is too slow. Besides, the company already has a loan now, why is the stall so big, can't it concentrate on operating Volvo and the original brand?
Mr. Li played his true character again, giving these shareholders three days, and if they still didn't invest, then he would bring in new funds to dilute their equity. Now is a critical moment for the company, and it is not emotional.
Shi Lei pinched his feet with Hu Changsheng at the hotel, and received a call from Xu Guohua, saying that Mr. Li had given Jili's shareholders an ultimatum, and it seemed that he really planned to cooperate with Tata Motors. Originally, he was not opposed to continuing to invest, but Lehaha has invested a lot in Europe recently, and he even invested the money he earned in Bingcheng Beer last time, and he really has no money to invest in Geely.
Moreover, Xu Guohua's father and Mr. Li have the same idea, if Geely does not cooperate with Tata Motors, then Tata Motors will cooperate with others, which will cause them great losses, especially in the market, which will have a great impact on them in the future.
So this time Xu Guohua called Shi Lei, it was the heart of An Shilei and Hu Changsheng, and at the same time, they were also afraid that Hu Changsheng would suddenly stop investing, and Jili would not have time to find other investors, and Tata Motors was in a hurry.
Sure enough, at dinner in the evening, Hu Changsheng tried it a little, and Mr. Li admitted frankly that it was not impossible to allow Hu Changsheng to become a shareholder, but he needed a premium, and there was another requirement, that is, Shi Lei also had to invest. Because Tata Motors said that if it builds a joint venture with Geely, the sales of Jaguar Land Rover will be handed over to the Wufang Group.
Originally, Jili was going to sell it by itself, and they have ready-made channels, how convenient it is. But Tata Motors' Rahal didn't know if his brain was kicked by a donkey or what, and insisted on handing it over to the five-party group, saying that it was agreed upon by them and that they had signed the memorandum on their own initiative.
Shi Lei's impression of Lahal has also become better, and it is really a promise. Isn't it just to invest a sum of money in Jili, Shi Lei doesn't dare to say that one or two hundred million dollars can still be taken out. This money was originally placed in Shi Xitong's place, and he was asked to help invest, but now that he has withdrawn it and invested it in Jili Holding Group, presumably Shi Xitong will not object.
The reason why Mr. Li must Shi Lei also participate, is to be tied to the Wufang Group, so that once the Wufang Group sells badly, Shi Lei will lose money personally. In order to make money for himself, Shi Lei will work harder to run Jaguar Land Rover.
Three days later, Jili's shareholders still had no intention of contributing, and Jili also officially applied for a temporary suspension of stock trading to discuss investment with Hu Changsheng and Shi Lei.
"What? You say that Geely's negotiations with Tata Motors are in the final stages? How is this possible, Jili shouldn't be able to come up with so much money, isn't it said that Tata Motors requires at least two joint ventures in China? â
Wu Tianlin reported to the boss of Dachang Bank, and the boss was furious, this is what you told me about nine out of ten?
"Jili stock applied for suspension, I heard that someone planned to invest, it seems that Shi Lei found it. Once there is a new injection of money from Jelly, then we are more than 80% likely to fail. Wu Tianlin didn't hide it and made everything clear.
"Go and contact Qi Rui and urge them to negotiate with Tata Motors as much as possible, and tell them that if they don't speed up, Tata Motors' partner will be replaced by Geely."
Wu Tianlin was also very depressed, he didn't rush it, but Qi Rui's people said that Jili had no funds at all, and it was not their opponent at all, and of course they had to fight for better conditions, such as holding a new joint venture company.
As for the Tata Motors Company's statement that one person has half of the equity, and the decision-making power is handed over to Qi Rui, they don't accept it, they can control it, they already have the decision-making power, why should they want one person and a half?
Qi Rui's technology in economy cars is very good, and the cheapest car in China has always been their majority, which has many complements to Tata Motors' technology.
According to Ziri, Tata Motors will definitely cooperate with them, and at the same time, the two sides will be able to exchange some technology. As for the other brands that the joint venture also produces Tata Motors, they simply do not agree. That will have an impact on Qirui's market, and it is enough to have a Jaguar Land Rover, which can not only improve Qirui's technology, but also fill Qirui's gap in the high-end market.
But like Dah Chong Hong, they could never have imagined that the opponent who had been excluded would make a comeback and be in the lead in negotiations.
Qirui contacted Lahore, but Lahore said that they needed to wait, and they had a promise to Geely, if Geely could get the money to invest in the two joint ventures, they would cooperate with Geely, and if the talks with Geely collapsed, they could continue to talk to Chiri.
Qi Rui knew that they had lost in this joint venture negotiation. And they don't know that the reason for the loss is not only that they want a controlling stake, but also that Gelican has let the joint venture produce other brands of Tata Motors, which has made Tata Motors more popular, not just Jaguar Land Rover!
A week later, when Jili resumed trading and the stock price rose by 14 percent, Mr. Li once again invited Rahal to discuss the final details. (To be continued......)
