Chapter 171: Doubts

"Hey, Rebecca, I heard you right, right? You just said you were planning to buy Adidas? It took a long time for Zhuang Mingge to react and asked, "I said, do you know how much Adidas' shares are worth now?" With the little money in our account, we simply don't have enough money to buy an entire company! ”

"yes, I know. The French sports equipment company is now worth about $700 million, and it will take about $500 million to acquire enough shares to control Adidas at current market prices. As soon as Little Groz opened his mouth, Zhuang Mingge was so angry that Zhuang Mingge almost vomited blood, "And, Antonio, I'm just like you, I invested most of my funds in Microsoft stocks~"

"So, the cash we can call on now is just over $100 million?" Zhuang Mingge looked at the little Groz in front of him with some amusement, who was trying to eliminate a piece of dessert on the plate at this time, "Rebecca, please ......"

"What do you want from me, Antonio?" Little Groz finally swallowed a piece of Zuihou and said, "Are you planning to ask me to be Sister Karin's bridesmaid, or are you planning to take me together?" ”

"Rebecca, don't talk nonsense, you're also a lady, give me a little ladylike look." Zhuang Mingge felt that he was really powerless in dealing with girls, "I want to say, Adidas is obviously a company established by Germans, how did it become French in your mouth?" ”

In Zhuang Mingge's memory, Adidas is a "transnational" sports brand, if you have to give it a "nationality", it can be regarded as a sports brand from Germany, and later with the public listing of Adidas, a large amount of Wall Street capital injection, it can also be said that it is an Americanized brand.

But Zhuang Mingge has never had this impression, this Adidas, which was completely the leader of the sports world before the rise of Nike, now belongs to the French!

Moreover, Grosz Jr. also told Zhuang Mingge the second more surprising news: Adidas not only belongs to France in terms of control, but it is also state-owned!

"No, Rebecca. Are you saying that the current controlling stake in Adidas is the French bank Crédit Lyonnais? This amazing news made Zhuang Mingge very stimulated, which is also too unexpected, right?

"That's right, this Crédit Lyonnais, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the Central Bank of France, also owns 70 percent of Adidas...... Before this bank broke away from the control of the central bank, I said that it was a state-owned bank, so there should be no problem, right? With that, Little Groz briefly introduced Zhuang Mingge to the lesser-known French bank.

Grosz's family is a financial family, so they do business with many of the big banks around Shijie. Just a few days ago, Grosz Jr. heard from the family that Crédit Lyonnais, which holds control of Adidas, sold Adidas shares. Having been involved in football since GM was founded, she naturally became interested in the news and set out to gather information about Adidas.

After careful investigation, little Groz found a big "surprise", she felt that if there was this condition as a guarantee, she and Zhuang Mingge should be able to eat the big fat of Adidas, so she ran to Florence to seek cooperation with Zhuang Mingge.

Of course, this is also an important reason why Weishenme Zhuang Mingge can still have more than 100 million US dollars left in his account......

"So, you're going to get a shot at this French bank?"

"It's ready, I've already instructed my subordinates to make all the preparations, as long as Antonio, you go to France with me to deal with some operational details of this big project!"

Since you said you were ready, what else do you want me to do in France? Obediently pay the bill, won't it be over? Although he thought so in his heart, of course Zhuang Mingge would not be stupid enough to say these words, he could see that when Xiao Groz communicated with him, whether it was his attitude or tone, it was completely different from that of other members of the opposite sex.

Otherwise, every time Weishenme Zhuang Mingge asks Little Groz, the other party completes it efficiently with quality and quantity? Although in the process of investment, Little Groz has also multiplied his capital many times, but one thing is undeniable, that is, Little Groz has indeed never cheated Zhuang Mingge on any thing.

However, Zhuang Mingge is not sure about the attitude of Little Groz herself, does she regard herself as a trusted partner or something else? After all, Zhuang Mingge is still just a rookie in terms of love, Karin's successful landing can be said to be an accident, and now that he has a girlfriend, little Groz also knows this, it stands to reason that she should not have any superfluous thoughts from a big family......

Therefore, he can keep a distance from little Groz a lot of the time, and even when they chat together, they often make some harmless jokes to each other, and resolutely do not get involved in the topic of "family marriage" (as mentioned earlier, Groz and Corleone tried to make the family closer through marriage).

Although there were many doubts in his heart, Zhuang Mingge still suppressed the idea of asking Little Groz directly, and continued the topic of acquiring Adidas.

"I mean, are you sure you can get those French people with these funds?" Zhuang Mingge unsure asked little Groz a question.

"Rest assured, with an expert like me sitting here, how could this acquisition fail!" Little Groz patted his chest with confidence and said proudly.

"Cut, to put it nicely, who doesn't know that the level of usury of the French is world-famous." Zhuang Mingge muttered quietly, but he didn't want to be sensitively captured by Little Grotz's ears.

"Antonio, what did you say?"

"Uh, nothing. I mean, the French who like to lend usury. Are they ready to sell their Adidas shares at a high price? Zhuang Mingge sweated for a moment and hurriedly said.

"Quite the opposite! I took a closer look and found that the close to $500 million offered by these Frenchmen was, in my opinion, a gross underestimation of the actual value of the Adidas brand. ”

"But there should be a lot of powerful companies that also want to buy Adidas, right?"

"Yes, in this case, we will not have any chance of success, but the current situation is that we are by far the most competitive potential buyers, and those companies or consortia that are much richer than us are not interested in Adidas at all!" Little Groz said with some pride, "So I think this is the best opportunity for us to develop from pure investment to industry!" Winning Adidas is equivalent to getting a piece of gold that can continue to appreciate! ”
