Chapter 1856 The Difficulty of All Repurchases

Seeing Bobby Li's embarrassment, Xiao Qi smiled again: "If you can't decide now, you can go back and discuss it carefully. I'm not in a hurry."

"Well, I can't make a decision, I can only wait for a discussion." Bobby Li naturally did not show anxiety in front of Xiao Qi, and squeezed out a smile: "By the way, I came in a hurry this time. What gift do you bring to congratulate Miss Tang on her pregnancy, I will make up this blessing in a few days."

"Thank you." Xiao Qi nodded and said, "It just so happens that I have some good news to tell you."

"What good news?" Bobby Li was a little listless.

"The Romanian Bitdefender Antivirus Software Company is a company invested by your Green Pine Capital, right?" Xiao Qi asked.

Bobby Li's sense of smell is very sensitive, and he was refreshed when he heard this: "Qi Shao, do you want to invest in this company?"

"It's not an investment, it's a wholly-owned acquisition." Xiao Qi nodded and said, "I remember that your Green Pine Capital is also responsible for leading the transaction, right?"

"Yes! We must be professional in this area, no worse than Goldman Sachs and Citigroup. The fees are cheaper and the work is more efficient." Bobby Li directly promoted: "Bitdefender is good! When we invested in it before, I think this company has potential for development. If it really works well, big capital will support it, no worse than Kaspersky! No worse than McFee! You want to buy it with full capital, it is definitely the best decision!"

"Don't rush to say good things." Xiao Qi smiled, "I have many demands. The first is a wholly-owned acquisition. The second is that I want to bring all the main engineers of the entire Bitdefender company back to Huaguo. fall."

"The first one is easy to say, as long as you have money. But the second one..." Bobby Li smiled wryly: "Eastern Europeans are more family-loving than the French. It is not easy to handle half of them, let alone all of them. It can't be done!"

worldwide. In terms of work, the most family-loving people are not Chinese people.

Birth, old age, sickness and death, many French people will basically not leave their cities. If your factory wants to relocate to other cities, sorry, at least 80% of the employees will resign because they will not leave their hometowns-so why do you say France So many century-old shops? Wasn't it forced out?

Speaking of Eastern European lovers. In fact, it is not entirely true. In many developed countries in Western Europe, many Eastern Europeans are working.

But anyone with some qualifications will not leave their hometown, and if they are strong enough, they will not move an inch.

This group of engineers in Romania is like this. They are already wealthy bourgeoisie, and their pursuit of wealth is already very weak.

I'm afraid that's why. One of the important reasons why Bitdefender will not develop in America and Asia.

"That's it." Xiao Qi pondered and said: "You talk to them one by one. At least I will sign a five-year contract. What do you think of their adequate allowance for leaving home and at least 2 months of family vacation every year?"

The salary package of Fairy Lab is very famous all over the world, even if it is converted from RMB to US dollars. It is definitely in the top three in Silicon Valley, not to mention in Europe. Proper first!

Bobby Li also knew this, and said after hearing the words: "Then there should be no problem. Anyway, the company has been acquired by others. Under the confidentiality clause, it will be troublesome for them to find a job. It is equivalent to working for a few years After a few years of hard work, you will be able to live comfortably for a lifetime. What’s wrong with taking care of your children and grandchildren?”

After a pause, Bobby said again: "If you want me to tell you, Qi Shao, you might as well give each person a signing bonus ranging from 100,000 to 500,000 euros. I promise to get you more talents."

"Okay." Xiao Qi waved his hand generously. "As long as it's a matter of money, everything is fine."

"Then do you see the acquisition of our choker grl?" Bobby Li said right away.

"6 billion, not a penny!" Xiao Qi's reaction was fast enough.

"You are really stingy." Bobby shook his head sighing.

"This is a matter of principle and cannot be changed." Xiao Qi reminded him with a smile: "I will return to China in a while, if you want to finalize it earlier, it is best not to procrastinate."

"knew."

Bobby Li became serious: "We will give you an answer within three days at most!"

He also tested Xiao Qi's bottom line, and would only give a purchase price of 6 billion US dollars.

It is undoubtedly a funny thing for a super rich man like Xiao Qi to bargain with others for millions of millions after he definitely won't say it.

For Green Pine Capital, although it is not very satisfactory, if you look at it together, it is not impossible to trade.

At least in Bobby Li's heart, this price is barely acceptable, and what he has to do now is to convince other senior partners to throw out the hot potato of choker grl as soon as possible.

After leaving the restaurant, Bobby Li got in the car and left quickly back to the hotel.

Now with video conferencing technology, everyone can talk, chat and have meetings together in all corners of the country, which is also a manifestation of advanced technology.

When he left, the relaxed expression on Xiao Qi's face also disappeared.

Since this restaurant is not far from the villa manor area, Xiao Qi didn't take a car, and chose to take a walk home, and he could think more by the way.

Just now Bobby Li said a lot about the pros and cons of the choker grl repo.

But there is one thing that Bobby Li is right, that is, as long as Xiao Qi gets involved and buys the shares of the choker grl, it means that he needs to keep buying until the choker grl returns to Tang Mingxiang's hands again.

That is to say, Green Pine Capital is at the end of its rope, otherwise it will be delayed for a year or so, and Tang Mingxiang will definitely not be able to stabilize it.

However, even with the addition of 25% of the shares of Green Pine Capital, Xiao Qi only has 45% of the shares of choir grl in his hands, which is far from reaching absolute control.

Xiao Qi's plan is not just as simple as an absolute holding, he wants to give 100% of the chord grl to Tang Mingxiang as a gift for her and her children.

Therefore, what Xiao Qi wants to talk about next is 10% in the hands of Amazon and 15% in the hands of Blackstone Group.

Blackstone's 15% is a bit better. Their experience is better than that of Green Pine Capital, but not much better, and they also know that the financial crisis is coming, and they know it well.

Amazon will be in a lot of trouble, because 10% of it was bought when it was valued at 25 billion. Now the market value is about 22 billion U.S. dollars, and it has not lost much. It is not unacceptable to lose more than 20 million a month.

But thanks to the subprime mortgage crisis and the financial turmoil, Amazon will not be alone, and the troubles they are facing are not small. At least in the two years of 2008 and 2009, they also experienced a plummet and labor pains.

If Xiao Qi chooses to buy it at a slight premium during this period of time. Shouldn't be a problem either.

If the 15% of Blackstone Group cannot be negotiated now, the next step is to let Citigroup and Green Pine Capital sign a contract to help conceal it for a period of time. When the financial crisis breaks out in September, they will buy Blackstone Group and Amazon together.

Bei Ventures is the largest venture capital company in Europe. If there is no chance now, we will have to wait until the European debt crisis breaks out next year to see if it can be acquired.

As for the last ITOCHU Corporation. Xiao Qi really didn't have much confidence.

Because both the Japanese and the Chinese have a custom, that is, they don't like to take out the things they get. Even if the chord grl is suffering serious losses now, it may not be easy to convince them to soften up. Even in the entire repurchase process, ITOCHU should be the most troublesome.

Think about it as a comprehensive trading company. ITOCHU does not have much weakness at all.

With ITOCHU's business scope and methods, it is not easy to make a fortune, but it is even more difficult to make them unlucky.

However, Xiao Qi should be fortunate that Itochu is a Japanese company. It is not a Huaguo company.

Because Itochu Corporation is a Japanese company, and Japan does not produce almost any energy, so almost all the comprehensive trading companies in their country are involved in the energy industry. For example, Itochu Corporation has a large amount of business in oil. Processing and so on have been their top priority in the past 20 years.

Compared with Huaguo's oil self-sufficiency rate of about 40%, Japan has no energy at all, so its oil reserves are usually scary. Under such storage requirements, major trading companies are not so sensitive to oil prices Yes, they all adopt the futures model of long-term purchases, and it is impossible to have such a good thing as spot trading.

As I mentioned before, Japan Airlines is like this. Buying oil futures eight months in advance is the most common thing.

Think about it, even Japan Airlines will lose more than tens of billions of dollars, so what will happen to Itochu, which has purchased more than him?

yes.

More than 50% of ITOCHU's oil is extracted by themselves and others in partnership, and they don't only sell crude oil, but most of them sell refined products, which is very profitable.

This is the most important reason why ITOCHU did not collapse in the financial crisis that started in 2008!

If they were just buying and selling crude oil, there would probably be no ITOCHU Corporation in this world.

but!

Don't forget, oil extraction, refining and processing also require costs!

When ITOCHU gets the oil, it also takes into account the profits of the mining country and the cooperative company. Its machines start refining, personnel salaries, warehousing and logistics, etc., all require a lot of cost!

These costs are nothing when the price of crude oil rises, but what about when the price of oil plummets?

From 147 US dollars, it dropped to 45 US dollars a barrel in 6 months. Who can bear such a huge contrast?

In this case, it is no wonder that ITOCHU suffered a huge loss!

Therefore, it is the most appropriate time to wait until then to think of a solution! (To be continued, please search Leduwo, the novel is better and updated faster!
