Chapter 444: Smashing with money

"It's hard to put into words!"

Mr. Lin sighed and said with a wry smile: "Recently, the iron ore game has escalated, and shareholders such as the Mitsui consortium have pressed too hard, and Mitsui has also united with the Lofe consortium to exert pressure. ”

"Wells, who sold Vale's shares, is a little overwhelmed! Don't dare to easily agree to our acquisition! ”

"Then will he choose to transfer the shares to shareholders such as the Mitsui Foundation?" Fang Ping frowned.

He thought about the difficulty of acquiring Vale, but he didn't expect it to be even more difficult than he imagined.

Originally, shareholders such as the Mitsui consortium were pressing step by step, which had already cast a shadow on the acquisition of Vale.

Who knew that the Mitsui Consortium attached so much importance to Vale that it even contacted the Lofe Consortium and joined forces to exert pressure.

The Loepfe Consortium is the first of the top ten consortia in the United States, with a long establishment and a profound heritage. The only one that can compare with it is the Morgan consortium.

Although the strength of other consortia is also very strong, it is still a line worse than the Lofe consortium.

In this dire situation, once the seller of Vale's shares chooses to transfer the shares to Vale's other shareholders.

Then this acquisition can only end in failure.

Mr. Lin thought for a while and muttered, "There is this possibility." But I don't think it's very likely, I know Wells as a person, if he wants to transfer his shares to shareholders such as the Mitsui Foundation. ”

"You don't have to wait until now, and you agree to my acquisition request!"

"Mr. Lin, have you checked, why didn't he transfer the shares to shareholders such as the Mitsui Consortium?" Fang Ping's eyes lit up, and he became interested.

It was the only good news he heard about Vale's takeover.

Zhang Lu nodded on the side and interjected: "We have investigated this." The reason why the small consortium behind Wells has a crisis of capital chain fault has a certain relationship with the Mitsui consortium. ”

In other words, from the bottom of his heart, he did not want to cooperate with the Mitsui Foundation. And the price you gave him made him excited! ”

Fang Ping nodded thoughtfully: "That's why we entered the game and acquired Vale?" ”

"Yes, that's understandable!" Mr. Lin was busy.

Fang Ping raised his eyebrows, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face: "Okay, I know how to solve it..."

"Mr. Fang, have you thought of a way?"

Mr. Lin's eyes lit up, and he said a little hurriedly.

They stayed in the United States for several days, and the acquisition of Vale not only failed to be negotiated, but the situation deteriorated day by day.

There is no way to do it.

Even if he made an appointment with Wells, he could only play the emotional card again and again.

"Well, it's easy..."

"I said, CEOs, can you change places when you talk about such an important matter? Is this a place to talk? ”

Fang Ping smiled, and when he was about to speak, Zheng Ting, who had been silent, was a little speechless.

She knew that because of the acquisition of Vale, the competitor Mitsui Consortium and other Vale shareholders had already arranged for someone to target their group.

Usually when I talk about something, I am still afraid that people will listen to it, but now Fang Ping and others are actually talking about such an important thing in a place with a large flow of people like the airport.

I am afraid that my competitors will not know the next move of my own people.

It's hard to think without being speechless.

Mr. Lin reacted suddenly, and after showing a grateful look at Zheng Ting, his face was full of smiles, and he said apologetically: "Mr. Fang, I'm sorry, I forgot that you just got off the plane, and you haven't had time to rest and rest, but you have jet lag!" ”

"It's okay, I slept on the plane!"

Fang Ping waved his hand, glanced left and right again, and then said, "But what Teacher Zheng said is right, this is the airport, and there are many people." Let's go back to the hotel and talk about something! ”

"Yes, yes, go back to the hotel and talk. Mr. Fang, please here! ”

Mr. Lin and the others all agreed, made a gesture of please, and surrounded Fang Ping and others to a row outside the exit hall in front of a convoy of six luxury cars.

One of them is an extended Lincoln.

Fang Ping, surrounded by Mr. Lin and the three of them, got on the extended Lincoln in the middle.

Zheng Ting and the entourage who came to pick up the airport, Su Xiaoxiao and Fang Ping's bodyguards and others got into the luxury cars in front and behind the extended Lincoln respectively.

After a while, after everyone got into the luxury car, the convoy drove out of the airport and went to the five-star hotel Hilton arranged by Mr. Lin and others.

An hour later, Fang Ping and others came to the parking lot of the Hilton Hotel, parked the car steadily, and everyone got out of the car and hugged Fang Ping and entered the hotel.

Take the elevator all the way to a presidential suite on the fifteenth floor.

Entering the suite, Mr. Lin and the others exchanged a few words with Fang Ping, and finally couldn't help but say, "Mr. Fang, what is the solution you just said?" ”

"It's simple, throw money!" Fang Ping said with a smile.

Mr. Lin and the others glanced at each other, and said suspiciously: "Throwing money? ”

"Yes, it's just throwing money!"

Fang Ping nodded: "Increasing the proportion of the acquisition amount gives Wells a reason why he can't refuse and is willing to resist the pressure on shareholders such as the Mitsui consortium!" ”

He thought about it, no matter how difficult the situation of buying Vale is, the core is still on Wells.

As long as Wells is willing to resist the pressure and sell his shares to himself and others, then the acquisition of Vale will be done.

And the only way to keep Wells under pressure is to throw money at it.

Make a price that Wells can't refuse.

It is well written in the famous book that when the profit reaches 50 percent, capital will dare to take risks. The profits reach 100 percent, and capital dares to trample on all laws.

As long as the money is in place, everything is not a problem!

"This..."Mr. Lin and the others looked at each other, a little hesitant.

To be honest, when they were struggling with no way to solve it, they also moved the idea of putting a premium on the basis of a premium acquisition.

It's just that as soon as the idea came to me, they threw it away.

Just kidding, in order to get the acquisition opportunity, a big price has already been paid. In terms of the purchase price, it is at a premium of 20%.

This time, again at a premium.

Not to mention whether there is money to support it, even if you have money, you have to pay a lot of extra money.

It made them feel a little unworthy.

As soon as Fang Ping saw the reaction of Mr. Lin and the others, he knew what they were thinking, and added: "Mr. Lin, you must know that our acquisition of Vale's shares is not only to make money, but also to help the domestic iron ore game. ”

"If it's to make money, let alone buying Vale's shares at a premium again, it's a previous premium acquisition, and it's a bit of a loss!"

"But in order to help the domestic iron ore game, then I think it's worth it to spend any amount of money!"

"Besides, according to Vale's potential, even if it is at a premium again, it will not lose money in the long run!"

He knows that Vale's market value will reach more than $60 billion in the future.

In other words, it does not include the annual dividends after the acquisition of Vale. The market value of the stock alone is enough to earn back the premium paid for the acquisition.

And you can make a lot of money.

Mr. Lin looked shocked, yes! Why did our Lin family smash the pot and sell iron and insist on buying Vale's shares? Isn't it just to help the domestic iron ore game.

Let's make a good impression on it!

Although Vale's repeated premium acquisitions will cause significant cost pressure, and there may even be losses in the future. Compared to making a good impression on the above, money is a fart!

You can't buy that thing.

Thinking of this, he didn't rush to make a statement, but looked at Zhang Lu and Su Lin beside him, and said with some expectation: "Lao Zhang, Lao Su, what do you think?" ”

Can we stand on the side and watch?

The corners of Zhang Lu and Su Lin's mouths twitched, but they didn't talk.

Naturally, they also thought of the hidden benefits brought by the acquisition of Vale, but they said that they valued this piece and valued it, and said that they did not value it, which was really meaningless.

In the past, the reason why they were willing to work with the Lin family to acquire Vale's shares was of course for hidden gains, but more importantly, the purchase price was within their acceptable range.

And now the purchase price is at a premium again, and if the part of the money that he paid before could buy five percent of Vale's shares, now he may only buy four percent, or even less.

If you want more shares, you have to keep getting money.

Do they still have money in their hands?

No!

Mr. Lin saw that Zhang Lu and the others were silent, and he already understood what the two of them were thinking, but he still fought for it: "Lao Zhang, Lao Su, I know what you think." But I still hope that you can participate in the acquisition of Vale's shares! ”

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Su, if you are worried about the financial problem, I can pay another premium for the acquisition funds. But the proportion of shares has to be redivided! Fang Ping also echoed on the side.

After Zhang Lu and the others looked at each other, they smiled bitterly: "We also want to buy Vale and even get more shares, but we really have more than enough to do!" ”

As soon as the two said this, Mr. Lin had nothing to say.

He knew that what Zhang Lu and the others said was the truth, not counting the premium again, that is, some of the acquisition funds that they had paid before, and even some of the acquisition funds they had contributed to themselves, were borrowed from banks.

Now the premium again, let alone them, even I am afraid that I will have to find a way to get money.

For a while, the atmosphere in the suite was a little dull.

Fang Ping glanced at the three of them, was silent for a moment and said, "That's it!" Mr. Lin, you call Yowells first and meet at the hotel in the afternoon. Let's talk about it first! ”

"If you can win it without a premium, then forget it. If you have to pay a premium, you can win it. Then I can pay the premium part in advance. ”

"It's kind of lent to you!"

"Really?" Mr. Lin and the three of them were stunned, and they all couldn't believe it.

Just kidding, at a premium of 20 percent, the amount of funds to acquire Vale has reached more than 10 billion US dollars.

If the premium is again, even if it is a premium of one percent, it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars more.

With such a large sum of money, the bank didn't dare to borrow them, but Fang Ping dared to borrow it?

Fang Ping shrugged: "Of course it's true!" ”

The reason why he was willing to pay for Mr. Lin and the three of them was that through contact with Mr. Lin and the three of them, he found that the three of them had good personalities, and they were members of the Chamber of Commerce, so they could help if they could.

Second, this time Vale was originally dominated by Mr. Lin and the three of them, and he didn't want to rely on his thick capital to squeeze the three out of the game.

Even if he had the opportunity, he wouldn't have done it.

Third, after the acquisition of Vale, it is still necessary for industry insiders like Mr. Lin to take care of it, and dig out their minds to play with Vale and help the iron ore game.

He didn't have that much time to worry about that.

Of course, the most important point is that he is not short of money.

As long as you can buy a stake in Vale, it doesn't matter how much you pay.

After all, there was only one opportunity to buy Vale, and he didn't want to miss it.

"Thank you..."Mr. Lin and the three of them were all moved, and said with some emotion.

Borrowing money is a very difficult thing to do these days.

Not to mention that the money Fang Ping wanted to lend them was still a large amount of astronomical money.

This kind of heart is very rare.

Fang Ping smiled, didn't dwell on this question, and changed the topic: "Mr. Lin, let's call!" Ask Wells out! ”

"Now?" Mr. Lin glanced at Fang Ping deeply, and after keeping this invitation in his heart, he thought about it, and was a little embarrassed.

Fang Ping was surprised: "What? What's the problem? ”
