Chapter 1074: Forming an alliance with Zheng Mengkui
Regarding Zheng Mengkui's "fake sale", Lu Jing smiled noncommittally.
The focus of the negotiation game between Hehua and Zheng Mengkui is whether Zheng Mengkui is willing to sell his shares. How it will be sold is the details. Zheng Mengkui now took the initiative to talk to Lu Jing, in fact, the initiative was already in Lu Jing's hands.
The reason for Zheng Mengkui's change of attitude is naturally because of Hehua's successful public relations South Korean government.
Why didn't Zheng Mengkui know that if he took the initiative to negotiate with Lu Jing, he would give up the leading power of the negotiation? The problem is, he has no choice. Let him pay Standard Chartered Bank $5 billion, and his Hyundai Industrial Development Group simply cannot afford to pay.
Zheng Mengkui looked at Lu Jing's expression and added, "Mr. Lu, I am willing to support Hehua to become the executive director of Hyundai Motor. ”
Lu Jing groaned and drank red wine. Lu Jing doesn't think much of Zheng Mengkui's conditions, and Zheng Mengkui's support is insignificant.
Lu Jing's original plan was to contact Zheng Mengkui and acquire the shares in Zheng Mengkui's hands, which frustrated Zheng Mengjiu and Daimler's intention to squeeze Hehua out of Hyundai's power structure.
Hyundai Motor wants to build a four-horse pattern, and Hyundai Motor now has only 6 shareholders: Zheng Mengjiu, Zheng Mengkui, Hehua, Mitsui, Daimler, and Zheng Mengyun. After excluding Jung Mong-kyu, Daimler will certainly not agree to Jung Mong-yoon (whose attitude is biased towards Jung Mong-gyu) to enter the top power center of Hyundai Motor.
As a result, one of the three candidates for executive directors can only be Hehua.
Therefore, even if Lu Jing didn't like Zheng Mengkui's promise, he would not refuse to cooperate with Zheng Mengkui. It's just that the details need to be discussed.
The atmosphere in the room was a bit silent. Zheng Shiyong closed his eyes and seemed indifferent. Zheng Mengxian weighed Zheng Mengkui's plan in his heart.
Zheng Mengkui's plan was to hope that Hehua would buy his shares. He then used the funds to pay off the debts of Standard Chartered Bank, freeing him from the trap of Standard Chartered Bank. Finally, he also wants to redeem the shares.
The question is. Where did the money he redeemed come from? Zheng Mengxian's heart moved slightly, and he understood a little. To put it bluntly, Zheng Mengkui wants to make a difference.
Now he Hua, Zheng Mengjiu, Daimler, and Mitsui Quartet are wrestling. Hyundai's share price soared to $35 per share, but once Hyundai's power structure stabilized, the apparent premium would fall and a return to $20 per share could be achieved.
After this coming and going, Zheng Mengkui basically has enough funds to complete the redemption operation.
Seeing through Zheng Mengkui's intentions, Zheng Mengxian was still too kind after all, and he just snorted coldly in his heart. Didn't say anything unpleasant.
Lu Jing's fingers tapped lightly on the armrests of the sofa. At this moment, his mobile phone rang suddenly. Lu Jing looked at the number, apologized to Zheng Shiyong, Zheng Mengxian, and Zheng Mengkui, and walked outside the small living room to answer the phone, "Wu Xuan, do you miss me?" ”
"The hell misses you. There are so many people who miss you, and you are not missing me. I'm going to tell you something. On the phone, Wu Xuanjiao said with a smile. He said this on his lips, but his heart was sweet.
Dulicitous to Wu Xuan. Lu Jing had already understood, smiled and quarreled with her for a few words, and said with a smile: "I'm negotiating with Zheng Mengkui, I'll call you when I go back." What's the matter? ”
Wu Xuan lazily stretched out at the window. Jiao Sheng said: "My mother and Zhang Wei are exploring the high-end catering market in the Yellow Sea. Tang Shijing, the sixth lady of the Tang family, had dinner with my mother today, and she said that she is your friend and is willing to help Jin Jiang Restaurant Group. My mom is pretty shrewd. She called me. Feed. When did you hook up with that sexy-sexy royal sister. ”
Lido Hotel Group has a presence in the Yellow Sea. Tang Shijing, a top figure in the Yellow Sea high society, she naturally saw it.
Sexy-sexy and glamorous royal sister? Lu Jing was stunned by the word Wu Xuan. Then he said helplessly: "Tang Shijing wants to help, you let Aunt He follow." I met with Tang Shijing a few times. It's not a 'hook-up', is it? You think everyone else thinks I'm a treasure like you. ”
"Giggles, Lu Jing, your level of coaxing has been getting higher and higher recently." Wu Xuan giggled. Ye Yan said that she would come to Jiangzhou with Tang Yuyao on May Day. I was still wondering if you would have a miserable May Day, and whether I should take you in. Looking at your situation, it seems that you are at ease. ”
Lu Jing touched his forehead speechlessly, although Wu Xuan didn't really look at his jokes, but being teased by her like this was really a bit of an itchy tooth. "Wu Xuan, I will let you know the benefits of taking me in."
"you!" Wu Xuan shyly took a sip of Lu Jing, her pretty face turned crimson, her body was a little soft, she couldn't stand the teasing of her beloved man, and scolded softly: "Little villain!" I won't tell you. Come back early. ”
Lu Jing could almost imagine Wu Xuan's shy and charming seductive appearance at the moment, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After hanging up Wu Xuan's phone, Lu Jing pondered the intention of Tang Shijing for a while, and had a rough idea in his heart. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Tang Shijing should still want to talk to him about the transfer of Hyundai Motor's shares.
It's a pity that she is destined to be busy again in vain. Lu Jing's heart moved slightly, and he groaned back into the small living room. Zheng Mengkui waited for Lu Jing's reply.
Lu Jing looked at Zheng Mengxian without moving. Zheng Meng coughed first and said, "Mengkui, your idea is good. However, the price difference between this back and forth and Hua's loss is a bit strict, and we have to negotiate the purchase price. ”
Zheng Mengkui saw that his "trick" was exposed, and he didn't feel the slightest embarrassment, but pretended to be stupid and said: "Fifth brother, isn't it the best to be valued according to the market price?" ”
"Of course not." Zheng Mengxian was almost angry with Zheng Mengkui. Zheng Mengkui estimated that he was talking to him, and wanted to fool him by fishing in troubled waters.
Zheng Mengkui said stupidly: "Fifth brother, then what kind of price do you think is more appropriate?" ”
Zheng Mengxian pondered and didn't speak, but Lu Jing said unexpectedly: "Hehua can buy 116 million shares in your hands at a price of $40 per share." ”
"Mr. Lu..."Zheng Mengxian was surprised and didn't know what to say. Why give such a high purchase price?
Zheng Shiyong opened his eyes in inexplicable surprise and looked at Lu Jing. Lu Jing's price is too unexpected.
Lu Jing continued: "However, I will not pay you until you buy back the shares. And the price of the repurchased shares is also $40 per share. ”
Zheng Mengkui was overjoyed. It's as if you've heard beautiful music. It's just that after Lu Jing's last sentence came out, his face changed slightly. Said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Lu, are you playing with me?" If so. Why should I sell my shares to you? ”
Lu Jing said lightly: "I can provide you with a loan of $5 billion without any strings attached." ”
Zheng Mengkui was stunned for a moment, his dissatisfaction disappeared immediately, and he hesitantly picked up the wine glass and drank. At this time, Zheng Shiyong barely cheered up, and said in a somewhat vague voice: "I agreed." ”
Zheng Mengkui looked at his father puzzled, "Dad? "How can he just say yes, he may be able to talk about some more benefits.
Zheng Mengxian shook his head. Zheng Mengkui is difficult to become a big weapon, and he is not a complete straw bag, after all, he is still a little self-aware and knows that he can't get the position of chairman of Hyundai Motor now.
But. His self-knowledge is very limited, obviously he begged Hehua to help him "untie", and he still wanted to make some benefits. It's ridiculous.
"That's it." Zheng Shiyong didn't bother to explain, and directly clapped the decision, "Mr. Lu, what are your requirements?" ”
Advantage? Zheng Mengkui was completely carried away. Their father and son want to get rid of the control of Standard Chartered Bank, and they take the initiative to negotiate with Hehua, even if there is a basis for cooperation, how can Hehua be the wronged leader and give them funds?
He didn't know that Lu Jing was going to set the price at $40 per share. And willing to provide a $5 billion loan to their father and son. But since Lu Jing offered the price, of course he had to seize the opportunity to talk about it.
Still talking happily to smart people, Lu Jing smiled and said, "I hope to be allies with Mr. Zheng on the board of directors of Hyundai Motor." The question now is how to make sure that we can both work together happily. ”
Regarding Zheng Mengkui's business reputation, Lu Jing really didn't dare to compliment.
Zheng Mengkui could hear Lu Jing's subtext. His face became a little embarrassed. It's just that it's true, and it's hard for him to refute. Forthwith. He was in a trance again.
If Hehua becomes the chairman of Hyundai Motor, he will also become an executive director of Hyundai Motor. So who will be excluded? Hehua actually wants to kick Mitsui out! It's kind of scary.
Zheng Shiyong thought for a while and said, "A $5 billion loan." We can make a partial mortgage with the shares of Hyundai Industrial Development Group. The detailed agreement is negotiated by Mengkui and you. ”
In fact, the so-called "becoming an ally" is that Lu Jing wants to control Hyundai Motors. As for whether Lu Jing can succeed, he has to get through the current crisis first.
Hyundai Industrial Development Group is the last place where the Zheng father and son settle down. Let Hehua hold shares, you can gain Lu Jing's trust.
Zheng Mengkui pondered for a moment, the result of today's negotiation was beyond his expectations, pondered for a while, and when his father, Zheng Mengxian, and Lu Jing's eyes looked over, he said, "I agree." ”
After talking about cooperation, several people drank a few glasses of wine and signed a memorandum agreement drafted by Park Hongji, assistant to Zheng Mengxian, based on the content of the discussion just now. The details of the negotiations will have to wait until tomorrow to be completed by a dedicated person.
…
….
Just after Volkswagen, Toyota, and Hehua were laundered by the South Korean government, all parties reassessed Hyundai's acquisition of the company. Although Hehua has cleared its suspicions, the biggest favorite for the acquisition is Daimler AG.
On April 25, Hyundai Group's chairman Zheng Mengxian convened the financial media in Seoul at the headquarters of Hyundai Asan Group to release a piece of news that shocked the Asia-Pacific capital community: Hyundai Group decided to initiate the acquisition of Hyundai Motor.
On the same day, Hyundai Group issued an offer to all shareholders of Hyundai Motor at a price of $40 per share. Zheng Mengjiu, Zheng Mengkui, Zheng Mengyun, Hehua, Mitsui, and Daimler all received quotations from Hyundai Group.
In the Hyundai Motor Headquarters Building, Zheng Mengjiu was wearing a neat black custom high-end suit, his indifferent temperament was still the same, and he looked at the fax in his hand over and over again. This is an official offer from Hyundai Group.
"President, are you looking for me?" Gao Xian pushed open the office door and walked in.
Zheng Mengjiu handed the fax in his hand to his core staff officer, "Xianzhong, you take a look at this first." (To be continued......)
