Chapter 787 Do You Want to Go Public?

When Yin Jun went to talk about things, he didn't talk to Goldman Sachs, but to the branch of Lehman Brothers in Los Angeles.

Because both United Artists Film Company and Disney are headquartered in California, Goldman Sachs had already sent people to Los Angeles to negotiate with them.

Yu Zheng and Ding Linxiang have now joined their negotiation team to learn more about the management processes and development directions of Disney and United Artists Film Company.

Because they were not very familiar with the way Americans did things, Tang Shuxuan was also following them throughout the process, so she joined the team.

Going to Lehman Brothers was not one of Yin Jun's purposes for coming to the United States this time, but it just happened to happen.

This morning, when Yin Jun was still hugging Teresa Deng tenderly, Pleasant opened the overseas phone call and told Yin Jun that the acquisition of 7-11 was coming to an end and the senior management of Lehman Brothers wanted to talk to him.

This is what the young man calls overjoyed.

7-11 plays a very important role in his business map.

At first glance, 7-11 is the kind of retail store and convenience store that can be found all over the streets. There are many in China, so there is nothing unusual about it.

However, in addition to developing very well in the United States and Japan, 7-11 is almost everywhere in Asia except China, and it is the kind that dominates.

What does this mean?

It means that no matter what Yin Jun does in the future, he will have a very fixed network, an network that can connect the entire Asia.

By then, entertainment magazines, comic weekly magazines, single books, concert tickets, DVD discs, various best-selling books, etc. will all have the fastest sales and consumption channels. Unless the Internet age comes in 30 years, otherwise its The status cannot be replaced.

There is also an ATM machine.

7-Eleven developed its own ATM machines and then established a bank. It used about 20,000 retail stores to create deposit and withdrawal outlets all over Japan.

Even with the advent of the Internet age, it can also be used as a pick-up point for online shopping, right?

Also, 7-11 has tens of thousands of products and more than 40,000 stores across Asia. How many product orders will it bring, and how much employment and economic development will it promote?

As long as the young man masters this, his development in the country will be absolutely smooth. No one dares to risk the unemployment of hundreds of thousands or millions of people to offend such a patriotic businessman.

Of course, it's still too far to say this now.

7-11 has just begun to develop in Japan. There are only more than a thousand stores, far from the huge scale of 20,000 stores in Japan in a single day.

If 7-11 had grown larger, it would have been impossible for Yin Jun to buy 7-11 shares from Southern Company.

How good it is now, you can buy it for just a few hundred million dollars.

When arriving at the branch of Lehman Brothers, as the global vice president of Lehman Brothers, Adam Baker personally came to the first floor to greet Yin Jun and took him into his office.

Many American executives have very high requirements for their offices.

The requirements for spaciousness, comfort, luxury...these are the most basic conditions. Many people also ask for indoor mini golf driving ranges, huge fish tanks, small recording and singing studios, etc. to satisfy their various hobbies.

Adam Baker's office occupies a full 100 square meters. The entire wall is a single glass wall, and you can see the Los Angeles street scene in the distance.

There is also a small coffee shop here with various tools for making coffee.

Obviously he was just playing with these. When Yin Jun sat down, he brought a cup of Blue Mountain coffee, "Here, have a taste. This is a gift from the Japanese branch. These Japanese are really good at it." Enjoy, the best coffee beans are wrapped in a round shape by them.”

"The Japanese are very smart, but these are just small cleverness. In the overall international situation, they have no room for struggle." Yin Jun drank bitter coffee and said with a smile: "I have never heard of a country where I am It has no right to speak at all in the world. It can become the world's number one just by relying on its strong economic strength. Didn't the United States also rely on the blood shed by millions of warriors in World War I and World War II to become what it is today? status?"

Adam Baker's eyes lit up, and he immediately said with a smile: "Mr. Yin, your point of view is really unexpectedly sharp and direct! I think many people are crying wolf, but they are not as thorough as you."

Yin Jun smiled brightly.

What do the Japanese count for?

Their human resources, geographical location, historical stains, mineral resources, etc. are completely untenable.

Wait until 20 years later, when China has become the world's factory, and when the products produced by China have knocked down all your pride, you European and American countries will know what deep malice is.

Adam Baker continued: "Last time Pleasant had almost communicated with you, we have also convinced the board of directors of Southern Company. As for the price, it is as you said before, a package price of 630 million U.S. dollars. In addition to 7-11 You have no control over the United States, Japan, and Taiwan. All other places in the world are within your control. This includes your Xiangjiang.

It just so happens that in September last year, your company in Xiangjiang, a subsidiary of Jardine Matheson, originally applied for the franchise of 7-11 in Xiangjiang. However, as soon as we started negotiating, Southern Company temporarily delayed the negotiation. Now it is even more complicated. It can be canceled! I am the boss of 7-11, but in my own city, someone else is selling my own brand, and I can only watch. What does that mean? "

Yin Jun nodded.

The milk company owned by Jardine Matheson in the previous life should have negotiated the franchise rights of 7-11 in the Xiangjiang area in January this year, and then the first 7-11 opened in April.

From then on, it was out of control. In a small place like Xiangjiang, there were more than 800 7-11 stores. There was really a 7-11 just around the corner!

This also helped the Milk Company and Jardine Matheson to have a dense network of outlets all over Hong Kong, and a golden doll that made countless money. It can be said to be an absolutely cost-effective deal for the Milk Company.

But things are different now. 7-11 belongs to Yin Jun. Let the milk company stay where it came from!

After 7-11 opens a store, Yin Jun's "Kilin Daily", "Kilin Weekly", and individual books can all be fully integrated into this system, and these personnel can be integrated into 7-11 without having to spend a lot of time recruiting more people. how many people.

The price of 630 million US dollars is more expensive than Yin Jun imagined.

But it doesn't matter. One thing that is more convenient when doing business with Americans is that you can pay in installments.

Yin Jun has a loan line of 2.5 billion U.S. dollars, which will definitely not be used up within a year. Even if it is less, if he takes mortgage loans from these three companies, he will have at least 1.5 billion U.S. dollars available.

Americans do this business themselves, otherwise who would often buy companies with hundreds of millions or billions?

Well, the Japanese do have billions or tens of billions of Columbia companies or Rockefeller Center, etc., and they can buy them with just a wave of their hand, and they are not short of money.

But just because he saw how wealthy they were, the American father soon dealt with them. When the Plaza Accord began, Japan was beaten to the ground and never got up.

"I know that Mr. Yin, you are currently purchasing United Artists Film Company and Disney Company. If you add 7-11, your group company should be among the top three in Hong Kong, right?" Adam Baker said with a smile: "I don't know. Are you interested in listing your group company in the United States? Based on your ability to make money from comics and derivatives, I guarantee you that at least the IPO valuation will exceed US$5 billion! After listing, it will reach Seven or eight billion US dollars is nothing to worry about! By then, you will have more money to do the things you like to do!"

Yin Jun had long expected that Adam Baker would invite him here, and it was definitely not just about the acquisition of 7-11.

Unexpectedly, he actually came up with the idea of ​​​​IPO of Kirin Group.

Before the economy overheated and junk bonds were rampant in the 1990s, what US investment banks liked to do most was to help others IPO.

Don't think that they only earn issuance fees and public relations fees. These big investment banks directly want shares, which is called underwriting.

For example, the most famous one was to go public. Goldman Sachs took a large part of the shares at the IPO bottom price. Then they shouted desperately and tried to raise Facebook. Finally, Facebook had a market value of 200 billion.

Goldman Sachs also made a lot of profits and made a lot of money.

Although Kirin Group is developing very well, it has now swallowed up two companies in the United States and an independent 7-11, and has been saddled with a large amount of debt. How can Lehman Brothers still be like this under such a situation? interested?

"Which of my industries do you value most?" Yin Jun asked directly.

"Of course it's comics, Qilin Culture." Adam Baker said very straightforwardly: "Wall Street has special evaluation experts, and they have now valued your "Qilin Weekly" at 2 billion U.S. dollars. "Transformers" alone This series is worth more than 1 billion US dollars. If you leave it to us to operate it properly, maybe the IPO can reach 6 billion US dollars!"

Okay.

The valuation increased by US$1 billion in the blink of an eye. Is Adam Baker very confident, or is he trying to trick Yin Jun into wanting him to enter the U.S. stock market?

Then they have a lot of room to operate. If they make money, but if they don't, Lehman Brothers has many ways to make Yin Jun spit out everything he has eaten.

Don't wonder if Yin Jun thinks too badly of them.

In fact, the people on Wall Street, even if you think the worst about them, they have not yet reached their bottom line.

"I have no plans to do an IPO for the time being." After thinking about it, Yin Jun muttered, "Whatever I want to do, I have to wait until I have completed the operation of the three companies I bought now, so that I can qualify to come to the United States. Listed in the country.”

Adam Baker sighed inwardly.

Sure enough, as Plisson said, although this young man is young, he is extremely calm. A few words are not enough to move him.

But Adam Baker was not discouraged at all. From Yin Jun's tone, he could tell that this young man still hoped to come to the United States to raise funds and go public. After all, what's wrong with using investors' money to develop his own business?

As long as Yin Jun has this idea, Lehman Brothers can afford to wait for three to five years.

As everyone knows, Yin Jun's move is just a delaying tactic.

If I tell Lehman Brothers directly now, it is impossible for me to go public, because it is the best way to control the company in my own hands.

I am not Huaguo Petroleum. It is obviously a very profitable business, but I still have to go public in the United States and give money to the Americans. I am not that great.

Not to mention, the future development of Kirin Group will be far greater than that of Huaguo Petroleum, which makes it even more impossible for Americans to enjoy it.

With this money, I can help the poor people in the mainland more. This can also repay God for sending me back!
