Chapter 381: Negotiation
Li Mochen received Darwin Wollman at his home, and the accompanying guest was Bourne Georgia. The chef was brought in from outside, a Frankish chef who was well-known in Atlanta.
Therefore, although the three people here did not care about food, they were still aroused by the aroma of the dishes in front of them.
"The prestige of Gaosen Investment Bank is well known throughout America. I would like to welcome your investment in Glorious Sun Retail Company. If possible, I would even like your bank to take over our company's listing counseling. ”
As Li Mochen spoke, he used a knife and fork to cut the dragon row on the plate. This is the meat of the eighteenth level thorn dragon, taken from the dragon's spine bone, the meat is tender and often the most delicious part of the wurm.
However, Li Mochen, as an almost pure-blooded dragon descendant, still feels a little weird eating this kind of dragon chop.
However, Darwin, at present, Glorious Sun Electrical Retail Company has abundant funds, and there is still a long time before the second round of financing. I have to protect my own interests and those of my shareholders. ”
Darwin Wolman laughed: "Amo, I don't think it's a conflict. The power of Gaussen Investment Bank can ensure that your company is unimpeded in most areas of America. This will help your company expand quickly and get a head start. At this stage, electrical retailers with more stores will undoubtedly have an advantage over the competition. ”
"No, No, Darwin, with our company's current capital reserves and profits, it is enough to complete the layout of 1,200 stores in one year and 3,800 stores in two years, and ensure the own number of 70 stores. According to our estimates, as long as we have 1,000 stores, it is enough to ensure that the company can get the best prices from major manufacturers at any time. ”
Li Mochen shook his head disapprenously: "So now, we really don't lack funds." ”
"And what about connections?"
Darwin Wollman's eyes flashed slightly: "Your 3,800 stores can't all be opened in the countryside, right? The strength of the Michelle Group is very strong, but their strength is more concentrated on the East Coast. ”
Li Mochen smiled, took out a document from his jacket pocket, and put it in front of Darwin Wollman.
"What is this?"
The latter's expression was slightly condensed, and his eyes showed surprise: "You surprised me, Ah Mo." ”
"So do you still think that the expansion of Glorious Sun Electrical Appliance Retail Company needs to rely on the strength of others?"
Li Mochen paid attention to the expression on the other side: "Darwin, Glorious Sun Electrical Appliance Retail Company has the ability to expand on the east and west coasts at the same time and establish our store network, which is enough to make Glorious Sun Electric invincible in the future competition." ”
"That's true. ”
Darwin smiled bitterly: "But I'm confused by you now, Ah Mo, you invited me over this time, it can't be just for a meal?"
"There's a reason, of course. ”
Li Mochen used the remote control to turn on the TV not far away, and then tuned to the Southern Cable TV station.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the TV station was broadcasting comprehensive news. This time period happens to be the part about Croanord and the corruption case of the Board of Education.
"Mandy Van Ferguson, Atlanta's up-and-coming media mogul with high ambitions, has his eye on the Georgia Post. And now, I'm ready to do everything in my power to bring down the Ferguson Media Group. ”
Bourne Georgia had been eating with his head bored, he didn't understand the purpose of Li Mochen inviting him over, and he didn't dare to interject at will, so he could only listen silently.
He felt that he was completely redundant, even as a chaperone, his identity was far from enough in front of these two people.
When he first heard this, his body trembled slightly, and he couldn't hold the knife and fork in his hand for a while, allowing it to fall on the plate and make a clanging sound.
However, the two people next to him didn't care about his faux pas.
"Mandy Van Ferguson?"
Darwin Wolman squinted at the TV and didn't pay attention to it: "I've heard about the afternoon program of Southern Cable TV, and I've also watched the Atlanta Daily Telegraph. To be honest, it's surprising that since the Flag Hunter Group entered Georgia, it has always taken a position of being kind to others, and has never been "
"Firefly Media has been acquired by me. ”
Li Mochen interrupted the other party's speech: "Since you have to deal with the war, how can you lack the Dragon Slaying Sacred Weapon?"
Darwin Wolman leaned back and tapped his fingers on the table: "If I guess correctly, you mean to use the power of Gaosen Investment Bank to block the capital channels of the Ferguson Group, and even withdraw loans from the Ferguson Group?
"There's no such thing as a free lunch, Darwin. ”
Li Mochen smiled slightly: "In the next month, Ferguson Media Group has a total of three funds, with a total of 230 million gold of short-term loans due. And I hope that all banks in Atlanta can rationally consider the operating conditions of the Ferguson Group. After losing the textbook business, does Ferguson Media still have enough solvency?"
Across from him, the handsome-looking young man was deep in thought. After a long three-minute test, he spoke again: "I can help you." But before I do that, I need to find out, how much are you going to give us?"
"For the second round of financing, I will give you three percent of Gaosen's shares. Then there is the priority of the listing underwriters, and we will invite Gaosen Investment Bank to provide us with listing counseling after one year. ”
"No! No, this is too little, Amo, if your Rising Sun company really has to develop to more than 3,000 stores before launching the second round of financing, then we will only be left with leftovers, I think 10 percent is a reasonable number. ”
Darwin Wolman began to bargain: "It's not easy to completely cut off the supply of funds to Ferguson on the part of the banks. There aren't many people in America who can do that. ”
"But there are still people who can do it, right? I can also find Morgan or Lehman. ”
Li Mochen smiled, and his voice was extremely firm: "Five percent, no more, Darwin." The timing of the second round of financing of the Rising Sun Company is indeed not friendly to your capital, but it also means that its future is promising, isn't it? Its future will definitely be a company with a market value of trillions, what do you think? I think at that time, even if it is valued at 300 billion gold, you will still have several times the income. With a profit of 300, this opportunity is very rare and once you miss it, it will not come back. ”
Bourne Georgia almost bit off his tongue, he couldn't believe it, and looked at Li Mochen beside him.
The teenager who was fighting with himself for a scholarship a few months ago has actually come to this point?
