Chapter 055: Panache
Security companies, especially PMC businesses, are necessary for Anjan.
To put it mildly, his future companies will be all over the world, and instead of hiring outsiders, it is better to use professional security trained by his own company, which not only simplifies the hiring steps, but also improves confidentiality.
In the general direction, PMCs are inextricably linked with mercenaries, and in a sense, mercenaries belong to the gray part of PMCs, which are a flexible armed force that is conducive to law enforcement.
The acquisition budget was raised to $800 million, and Anyang didn't care how much it spent, only whether it could meet the demand.
Morris and Cowell led the intention to negotiate.
The minimum requirement given by Anyang is a holding company, and the ideal is to acquire more than 90%.
Morris believes that it is easy after analysis, because after the withdrawal of the US military from the Middle East, Australia, the standard brother, also withdrew, resulting in little overseas business.
The rest of AS International is the security of personnel and goods, but there are only 25 million people in the local area, the number of wealthy people is limited, and there are many overseas business competitors, and it is difficult to turn the sky.
Seeing this, Morris grasped the key to the negotiation.
The shareholders of the other party want to throw this hot potato, more and more worthless shares.
So the acquisition went smoothly, and the shareholders rushed to celebrate the arrival of this timely rain, and it took almost no time for the former employee Peter Cowell to complete the counterattack and become the head of the main holding company, holding 85% of the shares.
The remaining shareholders are old stubborn and hopeful, and they will refuse to make a move for a while and a half, so they will continue to hang them, anyway, the absolute controlling stake has already been obtained, and the remaining impact is not great. It only cost $600 million to win this former powerful enterprise.
Afterwards, they discussed reforms and expansions.
"Maintain and expand the PMC business in the Middle East." Anyan came up with the idea that the location was an area where it was difficult for countries to take care of it, and the infected were rampant.
This must be handled by him personally, first expanding the military force in the local area, and sending employees to fight if necessary, which can also share a lot of pressure on him.
"Understood." Cowell made a note of it.
In other aspects, An Yang is not a professional and does not interfere.
He gave the company a sufficient amount of operating funds, and asked to have a number of reliable forces within a year, openly contract the security contracts of large enterprises, and do some dirty work for him if necessary.
Cowell was ordered to go to work.
Morris is also in talks with the government about land purchases, construction and builders.
Australia has a characteristic, or developed countries, that is expensive and efficient.
It's almost impossible to have overtime work in the country, with eight hours of work and all sorts of paid holidays, and occasionally the union comes out to talk back to the boss.
This is almost a common problem in high-welfare societies, where labor is expensive and picky, and you want efficiency and he talks to you about the law...... Therefore, Anyang's consideration is to let the state government relax the conditions and allow the introduction of foreign enterprises and employees.
……
Anyan let his men do the work, and he moved on to another matter.
For him to grow in the local area for a long time, it means that if he wants to live for a long time, he must have a decent dwelling.
The city and the surrounding residential areas are all excluded, and Melbourne has such a good climate and environment, these places are not high enough. His ideal was a large green grassy garden, with the occasional horse galloping, which, taken together, was clearly the environment of the estate.
He contacted the real estate agent and screened them to a high standard.
Morris knows how to do things, and he arranges company assistants and cars for his boss.
A white Rolls-Royce-Gust waited for him, and when Anyan appeared, the driver pulled open its distinctive rear-opening doors, which was very unique.
The polar white painted Gust, less of the old-fashioned image of the previous Rolls-Royce, a little more energetic, An Yang nodded to the driver and sat in the back row.
The red leather interior brings the excitement of color collision. Feeling; Seats can be ventilated, heated and massaged, and the seats are fully equipped in the top luxury cars.
Anyan had sat in a more advanced apparition, but he had to admit that even Gust had brought this luxury and comfort to the fullest.
The departure with full style, the celebratory goddess standing at the front of the car, showing the extraordinary.
The real estate consultant who was waiting for him, seeing that the customer was so fierce, even his tone and attitude were a little more respectful, which made An Yang feel secretly happy, and if he has money, he is dragged.
After the pretending session, the business was discussed, and the consultant recommended farms and vineyards.
It is generally located in the suburbs, the area is large enough, free enough, and the sky is blue and green. Anyan first excluded the pastures and ranch, feeling like a professional farmer, he chose the vineyards.
The consultant patted the horse: "Australia's wine industry is world-famous, with high appreciation space and elegant style, which is most suitable for the top rich people like you." ”
Anyan demanded: "The suburbs, but not too far from the city, occasionally juggle work." ”
"The Yarra Valley is a great place to be, almost a suburban resort, with Victoria's iconic Yarra River running through it, vineyards and the ultimate view."
"Check it out."
The driver started the car, and the Gust, equipped with a V12 engine, drove smoothly on the road to an area with lush green grass and beautiful scenery.
According to the consultant, it is a very famous wine-growing region in Victoria, a paradise for wine and food, and tourists like to come here for weekends to play and vacation.
An Yang in the car enjoyed the scenery along the way, under the blue sky and white clouds, there were green grass and neat vineyards, and the continuous beauty made the whole person relax at once.
He was pleased with the many vineyards he visited, and although they were mainly viticultured, the owners maintained them like parks, with long green lawns and towering trees.
In addition to the price issue, Anyang also has a requirement for property rights: "I want it to be a freehold property, not a hundred-year, hundred-year-old type." ”
"We have a lot of them too." The advisor replied and continued to show him.
He ended up with a nice vineyard.
It leans against a hill, with a river running in front of the door, and the owner's house is built on top of the hillside with an unobstructed view.
The owner is more enthusiastic about vacation use, and the essence is concentrated in this two-storey, expansive Western-style building, with a front and back yard, garden pool; The house is full of sculptures, paintings, a high roof, and a Greek-style swimming pool.
The owner of the house obviously brought the architectural essence of the European ancestors, and even An Yang, an art layman, found it very pleasing to the eye. Walking in it has the feeling of a European court, but there is no lack of modernity, which instantly makes him the highest level of satisfaction.
Standing on the small balcony on the second floor, looking around, as much as 247 acres of land, but only 30% is used to grow grapes, and the rest is either green grass or artificial lake, the picky enjoyment is staggering, and the atmosphere of life and vacation is also brought to the extreme.
The price is naturally matched by its luxury, with a freehold offer of $45 million, equivalent to $35 million, and 247 acres (100 hectares) of land.
With about $75 million in personal funds, Anyan has more than enough money to buy the land. It's rare to like a life and who doesn't dream of this kind of blue sky and white clouds, green grass stretching, and galloping horses? There was no negotiation and a request to sign a contract as soon as possible.
……
After contacting the previous owner, the two parties agreed to meet.
The former owner is a wealthy businessman, but recently the business is not very good, has been trying to sell the land in exchange for funds, but the offer is too high no one cares, waiting for more than a year finally someone to take a fancy to it, but also very happy to sign the contract, and even give away vehicles, livestock.
At this point, this wonderful land belongs to Anyang.
Specially inspected it, expensive, but well worth it. The only thing is that it is empty and only lives alone, which is not very compatible, and it is too busy to have time to manage. After thinking about it, there was a need for some workers, a steward who could be trusted.
Housekeeper, to be exact.
When it comes to his confidential business, the housekeeper can't be casual. No one can say for sure about the work ethic, and if it leaks out, it will not be good for An Yang to be a mentally ill person who thinks he is a savior...... He left the screening to the intelligence and asked it to help find it.
