Chapter 83 Boss, I Beg You!
"Master Huan."
Cash? Harris immediately caught up with Yang Huan.
The two were walking in the old factory area of Sunseeker Yachting. In the nearest factory, there were thirty or forty workers rubbing sandpaper on the hull of a newly formed ship, obviously to be polished and then painted. .
"Kish, what do you think?"
Yang Huan is very interested in owning a yacht, and more interested in acquiring a yacht company.
Think about it, with a yacht company of your own to build the most awesome yacht, how good is it to go out?
Didn't Abramovich say he owns an Eclipse?
Lao Tzu will build a yacht that is even more powerful than his Eclipse, let's see how much he gets better!
In the future, when the British royal family wants to go to sea, they have to come to me to borrow it.
And Yang Huan is indeed optimistic about the future development prospects of the yachting industry, especially in countries such as China, India and Brazil.
If there is no future, I believe that a conservative person like my father will not be able to start a yacht club.
There are also people like Sanya, where so many people travel to Sanya every year, and they also hold a feast of the sea and the sky.
When it comes to the Haitian Feast, Yang Huan is full of expectations.
I was a poor woman in my previous life, I can only read it in the newspapers, and I have been addicted to dry work. With this condition in this life, I must go to see and see what this Haitian feast is like. If I can support a female star , is also good drop.
Cash Harris didn't know the messy thoughts in Yang Huan's mind. He was a very professional and dedicated investment advisor. After listening to Yang Huan's inquiry, he filtered it in his mind.
"It's still very promising," concluded Cash Harris.
"The reason why Sunseeker is not operating well and the profit is not high has something to do with the operation of this company. They basically rely on old workers, some of whom have worked here for 20 to 30 years, and some are older. Generations have retired, and their sons continue to take over. Although this can ensure the continuity and originality of the craftsmanship, it also increases the operating costs of the company.”
Yang Huan knew in his heart that this was mainly because the wages of British workers were too high and the benefits were too good.
I believe that if the same number of workers is transferred to China, not only the labor cost will be greatly reduced, but the raw material cost will also be reduced, and even the time required to manufacture a yacht will also be greatly reduced.
After all, today's manufacturing kingdom is China!
"Another point is that Sunseeker's business model is too traditional and too obsessed with the company's brand awareness and professional achievements, which leads them to a certain extent, ignoring the individual requirements of customers."
For this, Yang Huan agreed with both hands.
Do you think, what kind of mood would it be if a symbol of a luxury yacht of the Sunseeker level went out to sea, but found that his yacht was exactly the same as others? It's like eating flies!
The professional and brand demands of manufacturers and the individual demands of customers are actually in conflict, but it is not that there is no better and more effective way to solve them, it just depends on whether you are willing or not.
"In the end I think a big reason for Sunseeker's low profits is that they cost too much."
"What do you mean?" Yang Huan didn't understand.
"The cost of wages for workers is one thing,
But more importantly, Sunseeker yachts use the top materials to build yachts, but when they negotiate with interior suppliers such as Hermes, they negotiate the price of a yacht once, and have no bargaining power at all. "
"Why?" Yang Huan's brows furrowed, so there was really a problem.
"Lack of confidence, their order volume is not large enough, and they don't have enough funds, so they can only adopt this small workshop-style model, placing a material order after every yacht order."
Hearing this, Yang Huan immediately understood.
According to the practice of the domestic Yang Group, if yacht clubs and marinas are to be built successively in the next few years, each clubhouse needs to be equipped with at least ten luxury yachts for customers to experience or hold small social activities.
The price of this level of business luxury yachts is around 10 million pounds, and ten yachts are 100 million pounds.
The annual operating and maintenance costs for each yacht are 10 per cent, or £10 million.
That is to say, if Yang Huan really bought the Sunseeker Yachting, Yang Huan only needs to get the order from the Yang Group, and then use this order to negotiate with each link, and he will undoubtedly get a greater price discount.
Not to mention, Sunseeker itself does not lack orders, but only funds.
Just like Apple and Samsung, why does every supplier in the entire mobile phone manufacturing channel have to listen to them and be controlled by them? It is because they have enough orders and have enough bargaining power.
If you don't have that many orders, go talk to them, and the ghosts will take care of you.
So, in the final analysis, this world is quite realistic.
And Yang Huan figured out such a layer, and suddenly felt that this business was worth doing.
At the very least, if my son is selling yachts, could it be that I dare not ask my son to buy it?
It really turned against him!
"Kish, how much do you think Shengxi is worth now?" Yang Huan asked.
Cash Harris thought for a moment, "It's hard to say, from the perspective of brand value, it is unique in the world, and it is the top luxury yacht manufacturer, which can even be said to be invaluable, but from the perspective of the capital market, as long as the control Within £200m, it's a good deal."
Yang Huan snorted, and he had a bottom line in his heart.
The two of them were whispering in front of them, and behind them, Brycewhite and McEntire were also whispering.
The two old men were whispering over there, and it sounded like there was a lot of verbal conflict.
Yang Huan has no interest at all in the discussion between the two of them. It is the same for him whether he buys it or not.
Besides, if you don't buy Sunseeker, you can't buy anything else?
Now the entire European luxury industry is bleak. Are you afraid that you can't buy good things if you have money?
Looked around in the yacht factory and found it a bit tedious.
"Kish, the sun is too dazzling, go back." Yang Huan walked around, feeling a little bored.
Sunshine?
Brycewhite and McEntire both wanted to cry.
It's cloudy, young master, where is the dazzling sunshine?
Or are we not sharing the same sky?
"Okay." Cash Harris didn't hesitate, just made a phone call and asked the driver to drive the Rolls-Royce over.
Bryce White saw Rolls-Royce turn around in the distance, and knew that he couldn't keep grinding any longer.
"Mr. Yang Huan, I can take you to the design workshop, where your yacht mold is being made."
"What's so good about the mold?" Yang Huan shook his head with a smile, "Forget it, I still have something to do in Southampton, so I'll go first."
"No, Mr. Yang Huan!" Brycewhite was a little anxious, "The acquisition thing..."
"Acquisition?" Yang Huan was taken aback, "I came to see the yacht today, not to talk about the acquisition."
"Besides, I can't afford you at such a high price, can I?" After that, he laughed.
This time, he thought it clearly, and the founder of Sunseeker Yachts is eager to sell it.
Since you're in a hurry, things are much easier to do.
You have to sell, but I don't have to buy.
"200 million pounds. If Mr. Yang Huan is interested, I will sell it for 200 million pounds, and I will be responsible for persuading other shareholders."
It can be seen that Bryce White is still very prestige in this company.
"200 million, I'll think about it again."
With that said, Yang Huan left Bryce White his mobile phone number so that he could call him at any time.
But regardless of their retention, they got on a Rolls-Royce with Keish Harris and sailed away from Sunseeker Yachting.
"He really wants to buy it," McEntire said with certainty.
It's getting old, but he asks himself that his vision is still very accurate.
For Yang Huan, he was really surprised, because he could see that Yang Huan had a temporary intention, but the price was not right.
However, being able to make a temporary acquisition of 200 to 300 million pounds can show how rich this big money owner from China is.
I am afraid that it is not much less than the big consortiums that dig oil in the Middle East.
…………
…………
From Poole back to Southampton, Yang Huan never mentioned the Sunseeker yacht all the way.
It was as if he hadn't thought about the whole thing from beginning to end, which also made Keish Harris a little elusive about the thoughts of this 20-year-old Chinese eldest young master.
It was not until the car arrived at the downstairs of the WeChat company headquarters at the Southampton Tourist Wharf that Yang Huanlin said a word before getting off the bus.
"Kish, I want the most detailed information on the most recent financially troubled luxury brands in Europe, including Sunseeker and Aston Martin. Help me prepare."
When Yang Huan does things, he always either doesn't make a move, and when he makes a move, it will make a big scene.
Cash Harris was full of surprises. He thought it would be good to get a family of Sunseekers. He didn't expect Yang Huan to be so ambitious, and he immediately swore to assure, "Don't worry, Master Huan, I will help you get it done as soon as possible."
After that, the British fat man went back to London.
In the small circle of the City of London, what information could he not get?
Yang Huan looked at the Rolls-Royce who couldn't wait to speed away, smiled, and walked into the headquarters of WeChat company with Long Wu.
"Boss, boss, you are finally back!"
As soon as he entered the door, there was a man's very surprised voice behind him.
That feeling is like an old man who has been thirsty for many years seeing his first love after a long absence.
Yang Huan felt a little uncomfortable, he didn't have to look back to know that it was that damn Du Ziteng.
Since the last time he met at the University of Southampton, he has been pestering Yang Huan, wanting to recognize Yang Huan as the boss.
"I said, my stomach hurts, don't call me boss again, or I'll beat you up!" Yang Huan couldn't do anything about this fat man.
He suspects that this is the hardest thing about knowing so many fat people.
"You won't, boss, you said that we Chinese don't beat Chinese people." Du Ziteng smiled flatteringly.
"Wow, that depends on the situation!" Yang Huan stopped and looked at the fat man carefully, "You think, a big man like me who has a head and face, hundreds of thousands of dollars a minute, go out, and the attendant beside you. At the very least, it has to be that kind of sensuality."
"In the past, Zhang Ning was so beautiful and talented, and the fifth, a harmless little fresh meat, and a martial arts master, but what about you? What do you have?"
"I can sing!" Du Ziteng replied solemnly.
Yang Huan had forgotten that this guy was the kind of master who went to a singing talent show, but was rejected without hesitation because of his looks.
"Okay, then you can sing a few words to listen." Yang Huan said casually.
"Chinese or English?" Du Ziteng asked seriously.
"casual."
"Then I sing my idol Michael Jackson. Listen carefully. Everyone says I sound like him."
"Yeah." Yang Huan nodded.
But seeing him take a deep breath over there and his bulging stomach, Yang Huan collapsed.
Du Ziteng had been preparing for a long time, and just after he found the feeling, when he was about to speak out, Yang Huan called for a pause.
"Forget it, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night."
After he finished speaking, he continued to move forward.
Du Ziteng was discouraged, but immediately chased after him, "No, boss, I sing really well, although my appearance makes me not an idol, but my musical talent makes me able to follow the line of strength."
"Please, these days, the power faction is not popular. It is the king to be a little fresh meat of the idol faction. You can see the trend when you look at the British Curly Fu, and the male protagonists of the Chinese summer Thor drama."
"I believe that the strong faction will shine sooner or later." Du Ziteng was very persistent.
"Please, boss, give me a chance, please!"
Yang Huan really has no choice, this guy is too clingy.
"Go to Zhu Liangcheng, just say I said it and let you try."
"I tried it." Du Ziteng said regretfully.
"Ah, what did he say?" Yang Huan was really curious.
Seeing that this fat fat man was so confident in his singing voice, he was really puzzled.
Could it be that he is really the type that looks ugly but sings very movingly?
It doesn't look like it at all!
