It is indeed very powerful to have the former defense minister and the current ruling party whip of different parties come to the same merger and acquisition on the same day. Song Ya didn't know if the plate of 100 million knives was enough to make Dow Chemical raise the knife, but the warning should be certain, they must know the inside story of the relocation of Barn Chemical equipment at the end of last year, otherwise they would not have found the two key politicians who assisted in the release of the equipment at that time.

There was no bidding opponent in this case, and a line drawn by the military alone sealed most of the potential buyers, and there was an indescribable tacit understanding between the buyers of rice capital, buying patents? Is DuPont willing to buy a patent license? 3M said that it can, and with the close acquisition of Dow, it can really be described as 'thrifty and thrifty'.

"Is Dow the only one bullish on the glow stick market?" The next day, while waiting for a meeting in the office, Songya asked Samur.

"It's hard to say how much they really value it."

Samur shook his head, "You know, last month, the Maastricht Treaty came into force, which marked the establishment of the European Union, and according to the road map of France and Germany, the next step is to move towards a single market or even a single currency." In the future, the United States will face a more difficult competitive situation in the market, especially in the chemical, telecommunications and other industries, where there are BASF, Total, Bayer, Nobel and other large chemical giants. ”

"So they have a series of mergers and acquisitions that might be a precautionary measure against competition?" Song Ya asked.

"It could also have something to do with the stock price or the personnel struggles at the top, who knows."

Samuel replied: "His family's profits are declining year by year, and in order to maintain the stock price, it is necessary to do something to boost market confidence, and I estimate that they have selected companies worth more than 100 million yuan to buy, because only by reaching this number can it cause a general response in the financial community." A senior executive may also need to make a move through an acquisition or something, and as for the market outlook, they will definitely think about it carefully, but that is not necessarily a key factor. ”

"That's ......" Song Ya was greatly inspired, "so they really want to buy my company, and the offer is likely to be fair?" ”

"If the purchase price is really low, do you think DuPont will maintain the current tacit understanding?" Samuel smiled: "Dow's offer of this price has scared other families away, is it a good business I don't need to say?" APLUS。 ”

"Hmm."

Song Ya nodded frequently, and her mood was much better, "By the way, you said that the European telecommunications industry is also very powerful?" What about mobile phones and the like? I also bought some Nokia stock. ”

"Really? Then your vision is so good. ”

Samur praised from the bottom of his heart: "Starting next year, our telecommunications industry will put in the GSM mobile communication standard led by European companies, and Motorola is about to die of anger, and they have announced that they will skip this standard directly and use handheld satellite phones to achieve overtaking." Nokia will rise, they have an advantage in GSM technology, and they will enter the big market of the United States next year. ”

"Satellites? Isn't that expensive? ”

"Yes, but GSM also requires large-scale ground base station construction, which is not necessarily cheaper than using satellites." Samuel said: "In addition to the communications industry, the radio and television industry is now divided into two factions, cable TV and satellite digital TV, and it is unpredictable to win or lose. ”

"Personally, I'm more optimistic about satellites, and we're good at this, after all, we dragged down the CCCP with the Star Wars program, didn't we?" O'Grady chimed in and laughed.

"What CCCP?" At this time, the vice president of Dow had just entered the door.

"We're talking about Project Star Wars." Samuel replied.

"Reagan was a good actor."

The other party sat down with a smile, and now there are rumors that the Star Wars program was actually packaged during the administration of former Grand Commander Reagan, and the tactical deception of the CCCP fooled the other party into this hugely expensive space arms race, and finally caused the CCCP to ignore the construction of people's livelihood and economy, "How did you think about it last night?" Have you changed your mind? He had something to say.

"I've always been willing to cooperate." Song Ya raised his hand in surrender, "Our mutual friends are also happy to see us cooperating. ”

Yesterday's two phone calls made him realize that for the existence of Dow, he is completely irresistible now, and the sincerity of the other party is enough, and the senior management of Barn Company has been in contact with each other since August, and no longer interesting, if they still have the preparation of salute before soldier today, it will not be fun, so compromise when it is time to compromise.

"That's good."

"Let's talk about it, where did you talk about yesterday? Is it an endorsement fee? ”

Generally speaking, the acquisition plan of 130 million yuan involves three parts, about 100 million wholly-owned acquisition costs, including all fixed assets, employees, patents and technical reserves, existing contracts, brand intangible assets, etc., and even the profit of more than 10 million yuan on the books of Bath Company must be inherited, of course, including the supply agreement with the military and the after-sales of equipment shipped to Huaguo.

Then there is the partial shared cost of the entire acquisition process totaling 10 million, and the alternative to the previous Barnes management equity incentive plan, Song Ya also stuffed Tony's brother, who didn't work all day.

There are also 20 million product endorsement fees paid to Song Ya personally and A+ Records, which not only includes the glow stick products that will be released in the future, but also the fluorescent agent for the party that is now hot, and the endorsement time is as long as ten years, so it will be a very slow process to pay this money.

"In ten years, I have to deduct money for making a small mistake, how much can I get in the end?" Song Ya still argues with the details of Goodman's circle, "Some places are too harsh. ”

"You don't have to worry about this, but according to MJ's lesson, we can't help but be so guarded."

The vice president replied: "It's okay, find an insurance company, set an insurance plan for this kind of income, and the insurance company will help you pay for the relevant losses if you make a mistake in the future." ”

"After the MJ case, the insurance premiums for such celebrity endorsement contracts have risen sharply." Goodman reminded.

This kind of insurance plan is basically a bet, and the insurance company bets that the star will not commit any crime obediently, so the star with a good personal image has low premiums and loose contracts, but he never expected that it was MJ, a popular king with an invincible image, who had a big accident, which made his insurance company bitter, and the industry was also scared.

After the premium rises sharply, it is difficult for celebrities to decide whether to bear this premium payment, even if they buy, the insurance company will inevitably stipulate some refusal conditions for vicious crimes, and it is difficult to say how useful it is to really encounter something.

"You're afraid that I'll make mistakes, I'm still afraid of you, your current company image is not as good as mine."

Song Ya complained mercilessly, "I will definitely be scolded for endorsing your products, and I must also add some punitive clauses to prevent you from having any more plutonium dust and other vicious pollution incidents, which will hit my public image." ”

"Well, but we've done a good job of PR."

"That's not going to work, Goodman, add to me, the constraints have to be two-way."

The other party did not directly refuse, "What about the other aspects?" Still have questions? ”

"It's basically gone, and I agree with it in principle." Song Ya replied.

"Then we can let you add this part of the clause." The Dow representatives present breathed a sigh of relief, and after making concessions in this regard, "Can we sign the memorandum?" The vice president asked.

"Wait a minute, can we talk alone?"

"Of course, no problem."

Song Ya waited until everyone else walked out, and then pushed the documents related to the wiretapping case in New York in front of the other party, "Can you help with this case?" I think you should be able to do it easily. ”

"I'm sorry, I know you're angry at someone for eavesdropping on your girlfriend, Miss Kelly, but we can't get involved in this kind of thing." The other party looked at it and directly refused, but from his attitude, Song Ya guessed that Tao should have known everything about himself before.

"You're talking about someone who is Motula, and he's got a little role to blame, and I wish he was the one who was fucking in jail right now." "I'm willing to make some concessions for that, and next year New York City will be ruled by Giuliani of the Elephant Party." ”

New York's first black mayor, Dinkins, who had just narrowly lost the race and stepped down in office, announced that he would teach at Columbia University, and of course, there were also foundations on board and advisers.

"I'm sorry." The other party threw the documents back, "It's not convenient for us to get involved in this kind of case." ”

"Okay."

Song Ya just gave it a try, but if it didn't work, he called the general manager of Barn Company in, and there was still a hidden danger to eliminate.

"I won't be your boss anymore." Song Yaxian sighed with him, "The predecessor of this factory was a simple fluorescent agent factory, you are the general manager of the fluorescent agent factory, and it is not your responsibility to deal with some old Barn Chemical to Huaguo Chemical Plant......

"I know, I won't say more."

The other party understood, and knew that Song Ya was still afraid of the part of the technical documents outside the contract that was shipped to Huaguo, so he nodded immediately.

This incident is not easy to cover up, there were other employees on the scene at that time, Goodman's suggestion is not to do anything, because as long as it is done, it will definitely leave traces, and it is particularly easy to arouse the patriotic feelings of those employees in the United States, the factory is almost no longer its own, and it is best to let this matter be forgotten naturally.

He had asked Goodman and the General Manager to take the original directory that recorded the existence of the documents out of the filing cabinet and destroy them, and the contract of transfer with Dow would not mention them, as if they had never existed. After doing that thing together, as long as the general manager in front of him is not stupid, he will not go out and talk nonsense.

Since Dow also needs its own endorsement cooperation in the future, it should not be too entangled to find some clues in the other documents handed over, after all, for them, those technologies are worthless.

In the evening, he and O'Grady, representing Northern Trust, signed a memorandum of understanding with Dow, whereby Dow's personnel began to conduct a comprehensive audit of the plant and pave the way for a subsequent takeover of the factory, without affecting normal production tasks.

Since this is a legally binding memorandum, it is almost impossible for Bath to be reversed.
