Chapter 1275: Return to the U.S. Market

readx;?“ Well, with Rothschild's ability, when will it help me achieve absolute control of Scania? ”

"It depends on how much you're willing to pay for it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info"James. Rothschild did not answer directly, but circled Lin Zheng.

But he obviously miscalculated, and with a slight smile, Lin Zheng looked at James. Rothschild said: "Mr. James, maybe you misunderstood a little, Lianchuang Technology is indeed very interested in Scania, but it doesn't have to be in control of Scania for a certain period of time, what we have is time, we are not in a hurry, and even ...... We can also acquire voting rights from other shareholders. ”

The acquisition of voting rights is a relatively rare thing, but it is not unprecedented, unlike the acquisition of equity, the acquisition of voting rights does not involve the share income in the hands of shareholders, such as the acquisition of voting rights for a specific business behavior of Lianchuang Technology, the price to be paid is not high, in the case of failure to achieve full control, the acquisition of voting rights is not a good way - the difficulty is how to persuade the voting rights in his hands to sell to Lin Zheng, but compared with the acquisition of shares, it is much less difficult to do this.

James. Only then did Rothschild realize that he had overestimated Lin Zheng's eagerness for Scania. His face changed slightly, and he took a deep breath: "Okay, Mr. Lin, what do you want?" ”

"Rothschild Commercial Bank wants to get this business, first of all, this acquisition has to cooperate with AAG Bank......"

"It can't be!"

Lin Zheng hasn't said the second condition yet, James. Rothschild refused without thinking about it, what is the difference between cooperating with AAG Bank and handing over money from Lin Zheng's left hand to his right hand? Isn't it equivalent to making wedding clothes for others? This kind of stupid thing must not be done: "Mr. Lin, Rothschild will definitely not cooperate with other banks......"

"That's not much to talk about, is it?" Looking at James. Rothschild, Lin Zheng's eyes were very calm: "Mr. James, are you sure?" ”

"I ......"

James. Rothschild was tempted to say, "I'm afraid of you?" It's a big deal, Lao Tzu is leaving! But alas, the words turned around in his mouth several times. He didn't dare to say it: In the final analysis, who let Lin Zheng not lack money in his hands, once the big boss Lin is lively, it is not impossible for him to directly pay for Scania by himself.

The reason why banks can be so awesome in front of enterprises. It is because they hold in their hands what the enterprise lacks most: capital, once there is no way to get stuck in the capital, the bank can no longer be able to pull up.

James. Rothschild's face was cloudy, but the gray-haired old butler who had been standing behind him was calm enough. Taking a deep breath, James. Rothschild said, "Mr. Lin." I am very embarrassed by your proposal. ”

"Well, it's good to get used to it in the future." Lin Zheng said casually: "Mr. James, you have to understand that for us Rothschild Bank is not necessary. ”

“……”

Just get used to it? What is the answer?

These words are very ruthless, and they do not give face to one of the future heirs of the family that has lasted for 300 years, but this is the case, although Lin Zheng's words made James. Rothschild was speechless, and even the corners of the old butler's mouth, whose expression had not changed much, twitched twice.

James. Rothschild had the intention of leaving, but a takeover worth more than $1 billion is not always encountered, although on a global scale. This kind of acquisition with a total amount of more than $1 billion is not unusual, and it seems that there will be one in two or three years at most, and sometimes even several times a year, but this does not mean that Rothschild Bank is qualified to intervene in these businesses, and the banking industry is also divided into "turf"; Rothschild Bank is just a commercial bank with total assets of more than $30 billion, and it can only be regarded as a small and medium-sized fish in this industry, and the consequences of reaching out indiscriminately are very serious.

Lin Zheng said, "You love to play, don't play, don't play down!" "And he really has the ability to get rid of the Rothschilds, James. Rothschild couldn't help but face up to Lin Zheng's threat...... That's right, that's the threat...... I thought about it seriously for a long time. James. Rothschild said to Lin Zheng with an embarrassed face: "Okay, AAG Bank can participate, we can accept it, but AAG Bank cannot invest more than 40% of the funds." ”

"That's right. This is what cooperation looks like, and the purpose of cooperation is that everyone has something to earn," said James. Rothschild was relieved, and Lin Zheng immediately laughed, it would be good if AAG Bank could get involved, as for whether it was 50% or 40%. Lin Zheng didn't really care too much: "But I want to get more shares, such as 60%, is there a problem?" ”

"No problem!" Finally figured out the reality of James. Rothschild replied very happily, since Lin Zheng is unwilling and capable of not being threatened by himself, then follow the business, "Whether it is 60% or 50%, it is not a problem." ”

"Very good, it seems that our differences on the Scania side are only the last two," leaning forward slightly, Lin Zheng looked at James. Rothschild's gaze turned out to be a little aggressive: "Mr. James, I hope you can honestly tell me a reasonable interest rate, and at the same time tell me a rough timetable for the acquisition." ”

This is Lin Zheng vs. James. Rothschild's earlier stated interest rate of 4% is not enough...... No one would be satisfied: you just helped me convince O2, and you dared to let me pay more than half a billion dollars?!

Are you stupid, or are you stupid to me?

James. Rothschild is obviously not used to being forced to look at others with this kind of aggressive gaze, he used to use this kind of gaze to force others, twisted his body twice uncomfortably, and swallowed: "1 year, at most a year, Rothschild can guarantee that you hold more than half of Scania's shares, as for the interest rate...... 2.8%, that's the lowest rate, and we're going to get O2 for you. ”

This means that O2's consultant fees are waived.

Looking at James. Rothschild, Lin Zheng suddenly smiled: "Really? But as far as I know, the Rothschilds are one of the shareholders of O2? If the information I don't have is correct, it seems that it is still the largest shareholder? It's not really hard to convince you, is it? ”

"Yes, the Rothschilds do own a stake in O2," said James. Rothschild frankly admitted, but his reasons were also strong: "But this kind of thing is not up to me alone, and I need to pay some price to convince the family to agree that the O2 smartphone will adopt Linux instead of Microsoft's Windows PocketPC 2002." ”

This reason can be recognized, the larger the family, the more complex the interests in it, and the more cruel the struggle within the family, Lin Zheng does not think that this situation can be unavoidable within the Rothschild family, even if he James. Rothschild is one of the candidates for the patriarch of the next generation of the Rothschild family, but it is only "one of them", and at this stage of investigation, he must show the ability to balance the interests within the family, and not to the detriment of the interests of the other because of one interest...... Even if there is some damage, it is necessary to ensure that the overall interests of the family are strengthened.

He nodded, and suddenly smiled: "Okay, 2.8% is acceptable, but there is still a problem." ”

"What?"

Looking at Lin Zheng's smile, I don't know why, James. Rothschild's heart suddenly flared.

"The U.S. market." A few words came out of Lin Zheng's mouth faintly.

fuck!

James. Rothschild finally knew where the uneasiness in his heart came from, Lin Zheng, a bastard, had been thinking about the American market!

But also, even if the Chinese successfully surpassed the United States last year and became the world's largest mobile communications market, the United States is also the world's second largest mobile communications market, so Motorola used despicable means to squeeze out of the United States, Lin Zheng and his joint technology are of course not convinced, and they want to come back.

It's also funny to say, Motorola vowed to drive the Chinese out and "maintain the purity of the American market", but unfortunately, after driving Lianchuang Technology out of the mobile phone market in the form of legislation, Motorola's share in the Chinese market has been compressed to less than 10%, and even its market share in the United States is constantly declining: once the first giant in the American market, now the market share is less than 50%.

Does Motorola regret it? Of course, I regret it, their high-level leaders have visited the Chinese leadership several times, hoping that "the two sides can cooperate at a deeper level and in a wider field", but unfortunately, what Motorola did before is really difficult to make a good impression of them.

Missing out on the world's largest, and the scale of the future will inevitably continue to expand, for Motorola this is no longer a loss of wife and a loss of troops can be described, some scholars have publicly criticized Motorola, saying that this is Motorola "the most serious and stupid mistake made in the past half century".

James. Rothschild knew this, but he also knew that it was also a very challenging matter for the Rothschild family.

"I know it's hard," said James, who looked at him with a sudden change in face. Rothschild, Lin Zheng said leisurely: "But high returns are always accompanied by high risks, if Rothschild wants to make more, I think this is a good deal." (To be continued.) )
