Chapter 675: Refusal or Cooperation?
Don't look at the $75 billion calculated by Berard just now, it's a lot, but in fact, after deducting taxes, various costs, etc., what can go to Xiao Qi is only $50 billion at most.
This is still a figure that Xiao Qi himself knows, because no one knows the true cost of DreamPad except himself, and others can estimate the profit of 30 billion for him.
If you buy a company, you definitely can't look at the next ten or twenty years of marketing, at most you look at the performance in the next two or three years.
Therefore, the price given by Berard is indeed very attractive.
However, Xiao Qi is not without doubts: "Mr. Berard, what I am puzzled about is that it seems that the Louis Vuitton group does not have so much cash, right?" ”
As a large group, the amount of cash flow in hand is directly related to the life and death of a company.
Many of the most popular mega-corporations collapsed because of a lack of cash flow in difficult times, such as Lehman Brothers, which will become history in two years, and Merrill Lynch, which was acquired.
And the people who have enough cash flow in their hands have escaped the crisis again and again, such as Li Chaoren, Li Diwang, and so on, who like to have cash flow the most.
However, if a company's footprint grows, their liquidity will become less and less.
The reason why Li Chaoren was able to hold a huge cash flow of 200 billion yuan in the financial crisis in 2008 was entirely because he broke his wrist and sold a lot of shares to raise so much money, thus helping him survive the financial crisis.
Louis Vuitton is different, they control and participate in more than 150 companies, although the annual profit is good, but it is unlikely that they want to come up with 50 billion US dollars.
"Moët & Chandon Champagne (M&C), Veuve Clicquot Champagne (VC), Hennessy and other 12 liquor brands. Coupled with the 15,000 acres of wine estates in Porto, France, the sale of which could raise me $30 billion. Bellard said solemnly: "If Mr. Xiao agrees, the Crédit Lyon Bank and the National Bank of Paris will be able to transfer the money to your account within a month." ”
"weishenme wants to buy a stake in DreamPad?" Xiao Qi asked the acquisition maniac curiously, "Aren't your thoughts all on the global luxury market?" ”
Originally in 2011. Bellard wanted to sell Moët & Chandon Champagne and Hennessy to cash out 11 billion euros to continue to increase his stake in Hermès, but he didn't expect history to take a small turn, and now Bellard has made an early move and has taken on so many other alcohol assets.
It can also be seen from this that Weishenme Bellard can successfully harvest so many luxury goods, just because he has this courage!
"I love all the luxuries on Shijie." "The DreamPad is also a work of art, and I've seen thousands of young French people screaming for it. Even my wife and kids are looking forward to having a DreamPad soon! So I thought, since I like luxury, why don't Weishenme expand one step and buy luxury goods in the electronics industry as well? Wouldn't my industrial empire be more complete? ”
After a pause, he said again: "It's just that I know the bid that Motorola gave you last time, and I also know the bid of Green Pine Capital. DreamPad has just come out. But it's not something that any company can swallow in one sitting. So I chose to buy shares and then enjoy the wealth that DreamPad brings with you. ”
"Bang Bang ......"
Xiao Qi clapped his palms. "Mr. Belard, the last time I heard Mr. Bobby from Green Pine Capital, I thought he was already a very Haode investor. But now I know that a takeover maniac is worthy of a takeover maniac, and I'm afraid there are very few people who can stay calm under your instigation, right? ”
The two sat on the bench and talked, even the bear province. I didn't come over for a long time. Seeing Xiao Qi applauding and smiling, many people thought that they were having a good conversation.
Although Xiao Qi was smiling, Belard's heart sank.
In addition to smiling and surprised, the teenager did not have any heartfelt look in the face of $30 billion.
As one of the most powerful people in Europe and the United States. Berard clearly knows that the most beautiful bite of fat on shijie is no longer FACEBOOK, but Xiao Qi's DreamPad, but so far, no one has made Xiao Qi feel relieved.
He was originally a blow to the cauldron and came up with the biggest price he could, but he didn't expect Xiao Qi to not look at $30 billion at all.
You must know that old sayings such as "a thousand birds in the forest are better than a bird in hand" will be found everywhere.
No one can predict what will happen in a few years, don't look at DreamPad now with unlimited scenery, but there are too many electronics companies that are stronger than fairy companies, if Samsung, Microsoft, Google and other companies make a move, no one knows where DreamPad can go next.
In this case, Louis Vuitton is willing to give Xiao Qi $30 billion in cash, so that he can settle down first, and then continue to rely on DreamPad to make money, which is actually very kind.
The reasons why Xiao Qi did not agree, in Belard's opinion, were only two.
The first is that Xiao Qi's expectations for DreamPad are far greater than others think.
The second is 30 billion US dollars, which is not yet to the point where it can impress Xiao Qi.
Berard could only shake his head and said with a wry smile: "It seems that I am going to return empty-handed when I come to Rongcheng this time!" ”
"Not necessarily." Xiao Qi responded lightly: "Mr. Bobby of Green Pine Capital before, I once gave him a promise, does Mr. Berard want to hear it?" ”
"Please!" Bellard's spirits lifted, and it seems that there is still a turning point!
"The fairy company will need some partners in the future, I like very sincere people, Mr. Bobby counts one, Mr. Bellard you count one." Xiao Qi groaned: "On that day, if Mr. Bellard is still interested, I welcome you to buy a certain amount of shares, and everyone will work together to make money!" ”
"Good!!"
Belard Haha smiled, and his heart was finally steady.
Participating in the sharing of wealth has always been the expectation of those who do business.
But he's not an idiot, and when the day comes, he'll have to evaluate the DreamPad before he buys it, and if the DreamPad is at the end of the day, Bellard won't be interested.
However, out of his love for art films like DreamPad, Berard still hopes that when Shaw Qi raises funds, it will shine even brighter than it is now! (To be continued......)
