Chapter 1781 Cold-Blooded Thor
(I exchanged two leave requests with my hand. If I don’t take another day, would it be a waste? Use the manual button to save your life~)
"Then I'll get in touch with the other party first?"
"Let's get in touch and find a few more targets. There are too many red wine brands. If it doesn't work, we can integrate a group focusing on fast food wine."
"Understood~"
"What's going on with Merlin Entertainments?"
"We just came into contact with Kirkbi, the parent company of Lego. They are very interested in our proposal, but they made the first step to request a 51% holding~"
"No, the bottom line is 50%. If one party has to control it, it can only be us. They only have one Lego, but we have a large amount of movie IP to be developed. They must understand this. We are not asking for it. them."
"I know that Merlin Entertainments is very important to Lego. They will not let it go easily. Let's negotiate first."
"Hmm~ Let's talk about it, don't rush to make a decision."
"Is the money enough?"
"That's enough. Allen has made some bold moves recently and is expected to earn 500 million yuan before January next year."
Yang Cheng remembered the plan that Allen had told him and knew what he was doing, "Well done, let him be bold enough to do it. The arms will continue to deliver profits, and we will have the confidence to play big."
"Of course, that's what I told Alan."
"Besides, is there anyone urging us to go public recently?"
"Originally there was, but after I proposed the dividend plan, they stopped moving."
Yang Cheng sneered, "They are all guys who adapt to the changing circumstances. I was quite anxious at first, but now that the golden path of arms has been opened up, listing on the market is no longer important."
"Yes, our financial risks have been resolved, and there is no need to go public."
"By the way, I'm going to transfer some of my shares to offshore companies recently."
"So urgent?"
"It's not urgent. The main reason is that assets have grown too fast recently. We Chinese have the habit of hiding wealth and don't want to expose too many low interest rates."
"Okay~ I'll ask someone to register the company.
"
Yang Cheng drank the tea, and the alcohol dissipated slightly. He shook his head and showed his sympathy for his subordinates. "Go back when you are almost busy. There is no need to stay in the company all the time. There is a director watching over there." Just stay on."
Ruiz also relaxed, "I understand, there happened to be some documents that were not finished, so I worked overtime."
. . .
The next day, when Yang Cheng arrived at the company to attend a regular meeting, he didn't expect Sol to come directly to the door.
Yang Cheng complained before he could speak, "You were too uninteresting last night. How could you leave alone?"
Yang Cheng rolled his eyes at him rudely, "Why don't you go and watch you become drunk and crazy?"
Sol laughed bitterly, "Is it that much?"
"What do you think? They're going to wipe their necks and kill people~"
"Talk angrily~"
Yang Cheng was too lazy to answer him, "It's okay if you have something to do. I'm going to a meeting if it's okay. I have a lot of things~"
"Something's wrong~" Sol pulled him and dragged him to the sofa area to sit down. He sat across from him and said seriously, "What did you think of my proposal yesterday?"
"What's the proposal? Help Roy get his shares back?"
Sol nodded, "Yes, don't you think the Gallo Group is a big cake? I see that you have a good relationship with me, so I am willing to share it with you."
Yang Cheng waved his hand, "Thank you. You really don't have to be so generous. If you want to take it all to yourself, just swallow it. Just don't hold it to death."
"Are you really not interested?" Saul frowned. In his opinion, Yang Cheng and he are the same type of people. They can never be satisfied with interests and are both greedy guys. But Yang Cheng's behavior towards Gallo Winery at this time The resistant attitude he showed made him feel nervous. Is there something wrong with this company? Or is the future uncertain? Otherwise, with his understanding of Yang Cheng, he wouldn't have refused so simply, right?
Yang Cheng didn't answer, and Sol persisted and asked, "Tell me the truth, are you not optimistic about Gallo Wine Industry?"
"No, no, no, Gallo Winery is very good, didn't I say that? I'm not interested in things that are definitely impossible to succeed. Brothers Ernest and Julio have lived for almost a century, and you can still catch them in pain. Kicked out of the company?
To put it another way, if people hold the shares in their hands and won’t let go until the end, what’s the point of killing their entire family? "
"What does Nike's slogan say? Just do it, don't worry about whether it can succeed, do it first, and then you will succeed, right?
Besides, do you take the Gallo brothers too seriously? I think they are all die-hard conservatives, otherwise they would not insist on not going public~"
Yang Cheng shook his head helplessly, "I said that the red wine industry is actually not suitable for listing. Their family business model is the most suitable.
Only in this way can we avoid the risk of financial crisis, reduce investment when it is time to reduce investment, and invest when it is time to invest. No one can interfere with their decisions. However, once listed, the situation will be reversed, and every word they say will be subject to public supervision. .
This will interfere with the normal operation of the winery. "
Sol frowned, "No, no, no, no~"
"What's wrong?"
"You were obviously a little tempted yesterday~"
Yang Cheng muttered, his eyes are so mean~
Spreading his hands, "Okay, I admit that I was tempted yesterday, but the object of my temptation was not the Gallo Wine Industry, but the entire wine industry~"
Sol Yuan stared at his eyes and said in great astonishment, "Damn, I was just staring at a piece of cake, but you are also targeting the entire industry. You are too..."
Yang Cheng ignored him and said to himself, "I am optimistic about the development of the wine industry in the next few years, but it is a bit late to enter the market now. Integrating resources requires investing a lot of money, so I am still hesitant. At present, it is just Let people from the company conduct preliminary investigations.”
This was just said in a hug, so of course I couldn't tell Thor everything. As he said, he was too greedy.
Even so, he was already ready to make a move, licking his face and said, "How about you take me with you?"
Yang Cheng shook his head resolutely, "It's not that good. You should go back to swinging the sledgehammer honestly. This industry is not suitable for you. What you value is short-term huge profits, and what I want is long-term stability. From the perspective of our two concepts, If there are fundamental differences, there will inevitably be conflicts in the future, so how can we play with it?”
Saul said frustratedly, "You actually look at me like this. I also have a long-term vision, okay? Of course I don't care about the future of Gallo Wine Industry. It can make me money in the short term and survive the sluggish period of the steel industry." Period is good.
But for you, I naturally have enough patience and time. If you say you are looking at the medium and long term, I will never talk to you about profits in the short term. "
Yang Cheng didn't believe a word of this guarantee. Just kidding, he had already seen through what kind of people these capitalists were. He could boast about you before cooperation and dared to agree to any conditions. But once the interests were damaged, it would be better to fall out. He's quick to flip through the book, and if he doesn't stab you, he's worthy of this friendship.
"No, Sol, in fact, with the amount of funds you have, you can completely support a plate by yourself. There is no need to cooperate with others."
Sol said with a sad face, "Jason, you can't do this to your friends~"
Yang Cheng was helpless, "Tell me, what do you want?"
Hearing Yang Cheng's intention to compromise, Sol immediately became energetic and said, "What do you think? Let's re-establish a wine group, and then use this group as a background to cooperate with Roy Gallo."
"How to cooperate?"
"After getting his shares back for him, try to get as much of the shares of Gallo Winery as possible. Of course, the management rights will still belong to the Gallo brothers, but I believe they will survive in just a few years. When they all join in, Earth, hey hey..."
Thor smiled evilly, clearly showing the cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness in his bones.
Yang Cheng laughed a few times and complained, "I know Roy, who has suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck. Is it easy for him to seek revenge?"
"Is it easy for me? How much will the shares of U.S. Steel and Alcoa be worth when they are passed to me? There is no room for me to play. I have to consider property issues for my descendants. I can't let everything be worthless. Leave the stock to them, right?
I think the wine industry is really suitable. It has stable profits. If it can be held for a long time and operated properly, it may not be impossible to become a dominant player like the Gallo brothers. "
Yang Cheng pinched his eyebrows and said, "If you are determined, then give it a try. How much money can you put out?"
Sol smiled sincerely this time, "How many do you need?"
Yang Cheng thought for a while, but still didn't tell the other party about the goal of Concha Winery. He just said, "The budget I prepared at the beginning was 2-2.5 billion. You can prepare 7-1 billion. Is there any problem?"
Sol pondered, "One billion? It's not a big problem, but it will take some time."
Yang Cheng waved his hand, "Don't worry, we won't be able to discuss this matter for a few months. Besides, Roy also needs planning."
Sol suddenly laughed and said, "You didn't know you left last night. When the banquet was coming to an end, Roy's cousin rushed to the scene."
"cousin?"
"Yes, Ernest's eldest son. The two of them chatted secretly for more than half an hour. I made a special observation. When the two separated, the anger on Roy's face almost exploded."
"Did the deal break down?"
"I don't know, but it will definitely not be very pleasant. I think the Gallo brothers must have opened their mouths. "
Yang Cheng thought for a few seconds, "This is good, it can strengthen Roy's determination."
"Yeah, so don't worry, I think Roy will be putting his plan into action soon."
Yang Cheng shrugged, "I'm not worried. Since time is tight, just hurry up and raise the money. If you're overdue, you won't wait~"
"No problem, there is something else I want to tell you. Robo Sands seems to know our intentions."
Yang Cheng frowned, "In the early stages, try not to conflict with the Constellation Group. Although their main business is slowly shifting to beer, they still have a lot of say in the traditional wine market. Conflict with them will outweigh the gains."
Thor rolled his eyes and asked unhappily, "I know, do you think I'm mentally retarded?"
Yang Cheng said sincerely, "You are indeed not mentally retarded, but you are prone to passion. Who can hold you back when you are impulsive? I am just reminding you, so as not to injure me as a partner. Don't blame me for leaving you." Go it alone~"
