Chapter 448: Gambling

Back at the hotel, Xiao Huawen asked Shi Lei what was so important and asked him to temporarily suspend the negotiations. Do you know how much it costs him to spend a day here? Do you know that a day delay can be a big change?

"What if I get this news to cut the price of Coty by tens of millions of euros?" Shi Lei looked at Xiao Huawen and asked rhetorically.

"Tens of millions of euros? Do you know how much tens of millions of euros are? Unless it's a world ~ war, how can Coty agree to cut prices by tens of millions of euros? Shi Lei, I know that you are the grandson of the chairman, but have you participated in such a big project negotiation? If you don't have any experience at all, you dare to speak indiscriminately, and I will talk to Shi Xitong about this! ”

Xiao Huawen was overjoyed, he was really sleepy and met a pillow, didn't this Shi Lei send him an excuse to be mad! He has to use words to squeeze Shi Lei, it would be better if Shi Lei could make a military order, then Shi Lei would not be able to come to the stage, and Shi Xitong would not be able to come to the stage!

"Mr. Xiao, since I dare to say so, I must be sure, why don't we sign a contract, and now Coty offers 1800 million euros, how much money are you sure to let the other party sell the company to us?" Shi Lei looked like he couldn't stand the run, and patted the table and said.

"About 160 million, about 5 million euros up and down, that is, the minimum 1550 million euros, how can you be lower than me?" Xiao Huawen asked rhetorically. He spoke with a lot of words, as if he were sure. In fact, Xiao Huawen is not sure now, this Alfonso obviously wants to increase the price, and it is estimated that it will be at least 160 million.

"Okay, then we'll sign the contract now, I promise to sign the contract below 1450000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"That's what you said? Well, if you can pay 10 million euros less than me, I will not only give you a commission of 30% of the difference. I also gave my annual salary of 3 million euros this year! But what if you can't? Xiao Huawen walked up to Shi Lei and stared at Shi Lei deadly.

"If I can't do it, I'll pay the difference, and I'll give you three million euros as an apology. You don't have to doubt this, I can still easily take out more than 10 million euros. Shi Lei replied without showing weakness.

Xiao Huawen asked his subordinates to print out the contract. He signed his name with Shi Lei, and sent one of them to Shi Xitong, so that Shi Lei could not regret it. At that time, even if Shi Lei can't come up with the money, Shi Xitong will have to find a way to fill it in, and at that time, Shi Xitong's face will be lost!

Shi Xitong was taken aback when he saw this contract. He asked Shi Lei to try it, but he didn't expect Shi Lei to be too young and have such a simple method of agitation. Why did Shi Lei fall for the scheme?

"Leizi, how many people know about this contract?" Shi Xitong asked on the phone.

"All the staff on the European branch know about it."

"What? What do you think, are you sure? I can tell you, at this time, if you want to use some special methods, it will definitely not work, Xiao Huawen will definitely send someone to target you. Shi Xitong thought that Shi Lei wanted to bribe ~ Bribe Alfonso, but this was definitely not a good idea.

"Dad, you are underestimating your son too much, I got a top-secret message. Coty has problems with its sales channels in Asia and the Americas, and they have a huge backlog of yachts that they can't sell. The company is going to have no liquidity, you say that it will drag on for a long time, who is it good for? And the market value of this company is only 140 million euros, so it makes sense for me to give him 1400 million, right? If you want to buy it at a premium, you also need it to be a high-quality asset! Shi Lei told him what he knew. also let Shi Xitong know that he didn't sign this contract impulsively, but was completely sure!

"Really? That's great! In this way, I will send a translator to help you tomorrow, so that Xiao Huawen will not take the credit on himself. You've done a fantastic job this time. After you succeed, I really want to see Xiao Huawen's aggrieved appearance. Hahaha~~~"

The next day, when Xiao Huawen saw the translator sent by Shi Xitong, he snorted coldly. Do you still need to do anything about translation, just sit on the side and watch him talk, I want to see how he talks about four or five billion!

Alfonso walked into the conference room, but when he saw that it was not Xiao Huawen who had talked to him a few times sitting in the main seat, but the young man next to Xiao Huawen yesterday, he was very surprised, and changed generals on the spot, which is a big taboo in negotiations. Besides, who is this young man, and is he qualified to negotiate with me?

"This is the grandson of our chairman, and we have been entrusted with negotiating the contract for this acquisition of Coty." When Xiao Huawen introduced Shi Lei, he did not deliberately elevate Shi Lei, nor did he deliberately belittle him. This contract must be negotiated, and it is impossible for him to dismantle Shi Lei's platform at this time, just wait for Shi Lei to break his head.

Alfonso looked suddenly realized, it turned out that this was one of the successors of Taishi International, no wonder Xiao Huawen always looked at this young man yesterday, Xiao Huawen is about to be set aside?

"Hello, Mr. Alfonso, my name is Shi Lei, and I am the person in charge of this negotiation. I don't know much English, so I brought a translator and asked for a translator, please don't be surprised. Shi Lei finished reciting a sentence in English fluently last night, then shook Alfonso's hand and sat on the chair.

Alfonso raised his eyebrows, this heir of Taishi International is not very good, since he doesn't know English, what are he doing? Hmph, an heir doesn't even know a second language, and it seems that his education is limited, and Taishi International is nothing more than that!

"Hello." Alfonso sat across from Shi Lei and whispered to the person next to him, and after a while, an interpreter sat next to him.

"Mr. Alfonso, I'll get straight to the point, Coty is currently worth 1400 million euros, do you have any questions about this?" Shi Lei asked.

Alfonso nodded, he couldn't exaggerate that. But I'm just going to sell a little 800 million, what can you do? Who made you buy in a hurry?

"As far as I know, Coty is primarily targeting the Americas and Asia, and Europe accounts for less than half of its total sales, right?"

Alfonso nodded again, you don't care where I sell, I can sell it, and there will be a profit!

"We received a message that Coty's agency in the Americas was temporarily closed due to economic fraud, and the agency in Asia was forced to terminate the contract with Coty due to some legal issues, do you have any objection to this?"

As long as you make a phone call according to the contact information below Coty's website, you will know that Coty has a problem with its sales channels in the Americas and Asia, and if you inquire a little more, you will know why the problem is.

Hearing Shi Lei say this, Alfonso and Xiao Huawen were both taken aback. Alfonso was surprised how Shi Lei knew the news, and they obviously asked people to provide a fake report to Taishi International. Xiao Huawen was surprised and felt that the sky was about to fall, Shi Lei might really be able to win Coty for four or five billion, and then he would become the laughing stock of the entire Taishi International, losing three million euros is still a trivial matter, I am afraid he will lose the position of the CEO of the European branch!

"You, what do you say, there are no problems with the sales of our company." Alfonso stammered.

"Really? Why don't we wait until your capital chain is broken? Or maybe you find a new agency first? Shi Lei said with a smile.

Alfonso almost collapsed in his chair like a deflated balloon. He lit a cigar with trembling hands and took several puffs.

Shi Lei also took out a cigar, not only lit it himself, but also handed Xiao Huawen and the translator one each. Alfonso didn't speak, and he didn't open his mouth to see who couldn't hold on first.

Halfway through his cigar, Alfonso spat out the smoke ring and asked, "Tell me, how much money are you going to pay for Coty now?" ”

"13.5 billion euros."

"What? No way! Coty is now worth more than 1400 million euros, and you want to buy it for 350 million? Alfonso almost jumped up, his hands propped up on the table, leaning forward, as if he was going to fight Shi Lei.

Shi Lei spat out a cigarette in Alfonso's face: "You are talking about the market value of Coty yesterday, once we announce this news, the market value of your company will shrink rapidly." It won't take three days, let alone 1350 million, whether it can be worth 1300 million or not, I don't think it's up to the balance. ”

"Hmph, it's not like we can't find an agency, it's a big deal to pay more benefits, and the company can maintain its market value without declining!"

"Really? Which agency did you find? Do you know that in Asia, we Taishi International have relations with many ports, and I said that none of them will stop your yachts, believe it or not? Besides, how long can your company's existing funds last, and can you recover from it? ”

How did he know that my company was also underfunded, and if there was no new capital injection, I am afraid that it would not take more than a month for those material suppliers to come to the door, and then the Coty company would probably be bankrupt because of this!

"It's okay for our company to survive for a year or two, don't forget, when I founded this company, the assets were only 10 million euros, and I was able to develop into what I am now, so why can't I get through it?"

"How about I bet with you? A month, a month, those material suppliers will come to you for trouble, and then your Coty company will definitely be destroyed. Can Doom be translated? It can be directly translated as his company going bankrupt. Shi Lei patted the translator on the shoulder, looking like you don't have to be too embarrassed, we have won.

"One four or five billion, I'll sign a contract with you now."

Shi Lei shook his head: "I said, one three or five billion, this price is very reasonable, we have the funds to bring Coty back to life, you don't, you owe too much money, you can't get a loan, find someone to inject capital, it's all about annexing your company, why don't you sell it to me and make furniture?" ”

Alfonso looked at Shi Lei in even more surprise, how did he know that I was going to make furniture? Is there anything else he doesn't know? In this negotiation, it seems that he lost to this young man in his twenties!

"One point 400 million, if it's okay, sign it, if it doesn't work, don't talk about it, I'll sell it to others!" Alfonso roared.

"Deal!" (To be continued......)
