Dow 93 years ranked 20th in the top 500 industrial enterprises in the United States, with a total market value of more than 25 billion dollars, benefiting from the recent bull market and the end of the oil crisis after the end of the automobile consumption boom, car companies and petrochemical companies are very sought after, even if profits have been declining year after year, the stock price is still rising.

Song Ya wandered around for a few days in Silicon Valley's own investments, and ran back to Chicago under the urging of the Dance My Life crew.

As Sun Yansheng said, Dow didn't wait for the earnings report at all, and disclosed a short sentence in the company's regular briefing, in order to break into the emerging market for concert and party consumer goods, they officially issued an offer to acquire the industry's leading technology Bath Company.

The stock price rose 1.09 percent on the first trading day after the announcement, indicating that the market is cautiously optimistic about their move.

"The market value of 25 billion yuan, an increase of 1.09 percent, is more than 200 million, and they have made money before the business is done."

Song Ya sat in the conference room of Barn Company and complained, "But I like the word technology leadership." ”

"Haha, that's not how it counts."

Everyone in the room laughed, and soon a large group of Dow negotiators in suits and leather shoes rushed in, all white, headed by a vice president of the company, who looked a bit like Samuel and had silver hair, but was much older.

“AP？” He shook hands with Song Ya, who got up to greet him, "Is it cold?" ”

"Huh?" Song Ya couldn't prevent him from asking this inexplicably for the first time, "What do you mean?" Nope. ”

"Oh, I see ...... dressed like that," he said, pointing to Song Ya's clothes.

Looking down at the two-piece set of short-sleeved T-shirts over long-sleeved, Song Ya reacted, "Don't you think it's cool?" ”

"I remember hippies wearing it like this before......" laughed at one of their younger entourage.

"Really?"

Song Ya's face darkened, and Linda also complimented herself that this kind of original wearing will lead the trend......

"Don't worry about that."

The vice president waved his hand and saw that everyone was already seated, "The early contact between us was smooth, but Barn is yes, young man." ”

"One point and three hundred million, this money will only take seven years for my factory to earn back to you." Song Ya said.

After a few days of negotiations, the other party raised the purchase price from 103 million to 130 million, but the implementation rules did not count as a price increase at all, or even slightly lowered.

"It can't be counted like that, the factory ......," he also noticed the chimney outside, "it won't run smoothly for seven years, no, maybe three years is enough, and the fluorescent party could be out of fashion at any moment." ”

"I've seen it all, haven't I? I don't have any secrets. Song Ya sneered, "But don't forget, I brought the fluorescent party to the fire, and I ate popular rice." ”

The other person smiled, "We're going to win, trust me." ”

The parties had no intention of arguing any more, and a discussion of the terms of the contract ensued.

"I can't accept part of the share exchange, our company's profits are declining, but the stock has been rising during the negotiation, and when I get the stock in my hand, the profits are exhausted, what should I do if the stock is smashed in my hand?"

The other party's suggestion was that about half of the cash would be converted into Dow shares to pay, but it could not enter the circulation market immediately, so Song Ya certainly did not do it.

"We can set a price that is acceptable, and the discount price will be slightly lower than the stock price at that time......"

"I want money, real money."

"No one will use cash ...... in hundreds of millions of businesses"

"We're such a big company."

"The money of big companies doesn't blow in the wind."

"I'm a hip-hop singer, I like cash, I don't want stocks, I spent tens of millions of dollars to buy Apple stocks, and now I'm all in my hands." Song Ya boasted half-truthfully.

"Our stocks hold much more value than those junk electronic stocks, and everything in the chemical industry is closely related to people's daily necessities."

"Don't bluff me, now that there is no war in the United States, the CCCP is over."

The other party was speechless, "Okay, then let's put this one aside for ...... first"

Chatting until noon, Song Ya was a little impatient with the disguise of a young hip-hop singer, "AP, stop disguising yourself, we have a very detailed understanding of it, not young people who behave like now." We don't want to waste too much time on this case, and it's best to handle it professionally. The vice president warned.

"I'm sorry, I'm taking on a role for the upcoming movie." Song Ya shrugged, "But I clearly stated my attitude on each condition, didn't I?" ”

"Take a break." The man next to him said.

"Okay." The vice president didn't look good, "We'll come back in the afternoon." ”

At noon, Song Ya received a call from John Liu.

"AP, talking big business with Dow?" He asked.

"Yes, noticed their briefing?" Song Ya couldn't deny it.

"I don't care much about the news on that, Cheney called me just now, and he seems to have been asked to give him his turn." John Willow said.

"I thought the stuff they were cramping in at the time was the reward." Song Ya's heart tightened, and the look in the eyes of the vice president of Dow when he was leaving, first tried to pretend to be stupid, after all, at that time, the two took advantage of the resignation of the general commander to go to Huaguo to drum up things, and the elephant party did take the opportunity to stuff a lot of products from its own related enterprises.

"Do you want me to reply to him like that?" John Liu asked.

"Uh, no, I know what to do, don't worry." Now it's getting harder and harder to play stupid, and the idle Elephant Party bosses can't afford to offend, the politics of the United States is a revolving door, who knows when he will return to the center of power from the oil company, Song Ya has no choice, so he agreed.

"Yes, that's it, come and go, everyone will take care of this friendship together." John Willow smiled with satisfaction.

"Okay, stay in touch."

Song Ya hung up the phone and instructed Linda, "Turn up the air conditioning in the conference room in the afternoon." ”

In the afternoon, the negotiations continued, and it didn't take long for the other party to be so hot that they took off their suits and draped them over the back of their chairs.

"A child's trick." The VP didn't care much either, although his armpits were soaked, "Okay, AP, has your attitude changed after thinking about it all afternoon?" ”

"Yes, my friend persuaded me a few words." Song Ya smiled.

"That's good, you should listen to your friends more at this time." The vice president said.

"Let's go ahead then."

"Okay, let's do it again."

We chatted until the end of work, and the other party said goodbye on time, and some conditions were still not negotiated.

"AP, get out of the car and turn right."

As Song Ya left in the evening, he had just left the door of Barn's company when he received a call from Doug, an assistant in the federal parliamentarian's office in Underwood.

"Fxxk, Doug, why do you always hide in the shadows like a dog."

There was no way, get out of the car, find Doug huddled in the corner of the outer wall, and the two got together and talked quietly.

"Hiding from him?" As soon as Doug opened his mouth, he asked for sin.

"No, what are you hiding?"

"If you were to sell the factory to Dow, the district plan would be disrupted, and jobs could be relocated out of Illinois by big companies." "He's angry," Doug said. ”

"What is there for him to be angry about?" Song Ya also scolded back, "Tao was recruited by his wife, and I'm not angry yet!" ”

"What?"

"His wife, Claire, was the one who gave me the business card of the Tao family and asked me to call the number above."

Doug was stunned, "But you should still say hello to him in advance." ”

"Come on Doug, how do I know Claire wasn't instructed by him, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have made that call." can only be the same old trick and pretend to be stupid.

"Without this company, I won't be able to keep Russell in two years." Doug said.

"It's just a seat in the state House of Representatives, and even if I had this company, I doubt I'll be able to keep that drunkard in two years." Song Ya said.

"Where are you with Dow?" Doug asked.

"It's been negotiated a few times." Song Ya lied to him.

"Really?"

"Really."

"To be honest, he just heard some complaints about putting obstacles in the way of Dow." Doug said.

"Wait, wait......" Song Ya didn't understand, "Does he want this thing to work out or not?" ”

"He's going to have to quell some people's complaints."

"So he wants it to happen, right?" Song Ya knew, and Dow must have found a way to put pressure on Underwood in the afternoon.

Doug nodded in acquiescence, "But you can't blame him for the loss of the job opportunity." ”

"I know what I'm going to do, okay? Doug. Song Ya nodded, there is no need to complain in front of this person that the job opportunity was created by himself or something, the trouble is his own now, but after the transaction is completed, it will all be Dow's, judging from the muscles they showed off today, this is not a big deal for them, "What about that councilor?" I can guarantee that he will be elected this year, but ...... later."

"He can only figure it out on his own, and there are still two years, and he has time."
