Chapter 607: The Opponent From Country Z

Looking at the purest smile on Susu's face, a warm feeling welled up in his heart, this yearning without a single trace of impurity, how many can't be too much.

Standing up, walking around the desk, hugging Susu gently, stroking her small head with big hands, and said softly, "Miss me?"

Susu sticks out her pink tongue shyly, keeping everything in silence.

Just as she was about to fall back into Yang Cheng's arms, Susu suddenly called out, frowned in frustration and said, "Oh, I almost forgot, I just received an interview application from Forbes magazine yesterday, should we agree?"

Yang Cheng also frowned, "Forbes again? Haven't I already rejected it once?"

On the other hand, Susu looked proud, her eyes were full of little stars, and she explained coquettishly, "You don't know yet, do you? Forbes' latest list of the world's billionaires is officially released, and you and Uncle Yang are both on the list , In the latest issue of the magazine, a few pages are specially set aside to introduce the Yang family, in short, you are finally a world-renowned rich man this time!"

Yang Cheng was stunned, the new list?

Turning his head to look, sure enough, on the magazine shelf in the corner, in the middle is the latest issue of Forbes magazine. Of course, he is not the person on the cover.

Walking quickly, I opened the page of the list and looked it up from top to bottom. The one ranked first has nothing to say. Bill Gaizi leads the list with a total asset of 79.2 billion U.S. dollars, which is a solid comparison.

The second and third places are also old people, namely Carlos Slim, a Mexican telecom tycoon with a net worth of 77.1 billion US dollars, and the old stock god who sold a lot of shares for charity, but his net worth has not shrunk. His net worth is still as high as 72.7 billion US dollars.

The wealth gap between the top three is not too big, and the founder of zara, the leading fast-selling fashion brand in the fourth place, the Spaniard Ortega occupies the 60 billion US dollars alone.

Among the top ten richest people, people from two families have completed a new round of wealth monopoly, namely the 6th and 7th Koch brothers, and the two heirs of the Walton family.

Of course, Larry Ellison still ranks fifth with a net worth of $54.3 billion.

However, he is not interested in how much these people are worth. From the top to the bottom, after skipping a few rich Chinese, he finally found the name of his father in the 75th place. Forbes estimated his assets at 14.1 billion US dollars, which is relatively Achieved a 25% increase in assets last year.

Beneath Dad is Masayoshi Son, the president of Softbank, who also ranks 75th with Dad with a net worth of US$14.1 billion.

As for Yang Cheng's own ranking, he had to look for it outside the top 100. Fortunately, his surname is quite special, so it is not difficult to find it. Forbes has always given a relatively conservative asset valuation, so Yang Cheng who appeared on the list Orange, ranked 171st with a net worth of only US$7.8 billion, is not bad. It is roughly the same as the previous provisional list, neither shrinking nor giving a big increase.

But I have to say that all of this was created by Yang Cheng in less than a year. Although it is a bit shameless to start from scratch, he was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. Before he officially started his business, he had more than 10 billion dollar net worth.

Looking at it this way, it seems that the figure of 7.8 billion is not too exaggerated, but compared to the increase in assets, Yang Cheng is absolutely the best in the world. In less than a year, his wealth has increased by more than 5 times.

Therefore, it is no surprise that Forbes magazine has repeatedly wanted to interview the creator of this wealth miracle.

What's more, Yang Cheng comes from a mysterious wealthy Chinese family. For Forbes magazine, all this means that it has never been explored, waiting for their reporters to dig deeper.

Yang Cheng deliberately refused, but last time it was a provisional list, so the push was rejected. This time, it was an interview invitation for the official list, and the Forbes family is also a true New York rich man. , people don't look good in face.

After pondering for a while, I still agreed, "Okay, you can make arrangements, but I don't have time today, you have to fly to DC with me tonight."

When Susu heard that Yang Cheng wanted to take her with her,

Immediately with a smile on his face, he nodded obediently, "I will arrange it!"

Today, it was rare for Yang Cheng not to hold on to Susu, and to see people's hearts for a long time, mainly because he had too much work and had plenty of time at night.

Su Su, who entered the working state, quickly sorted out the important documents of the past few days and sent them to Yang Cheng for signature, and then called the department leaders one by one to inform them that the boss was back, and that they could report to the top level face to face if there was any important matter.

And Ryze Khan was the first to rush forward.

"Boss, you are back, our two negotiating teams are not going very well, so we won't mention such shameless things as the Lions of Club Med and raising prices on the ground, at least there is a possibility of negotiation.

And the Banyan Tree Hotel Group has no sincerity in negotiating at all. At first they were willing to negotiate because they were concerned about your face, boss. They are willing to continue the in-depth conversation. Every time they talk about the acquisition of the housekeeper, their words flicker. "

As soon as Ruiz entered the office, he began to report non-stop. Hearing this, Yang Cheng felt dizzy. He motioned for Susu to put down the coffee and pressed his hands. "Sit down first, take a sip of coffee and talk slowly. It is certain that you will encounter difficulties in the negotiation." Yes, let's talk about Club Med first, which step did you talk about?"

Ruiz took a sip of his coffee and rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment, "The main reason is that our competitors are too troublesome, if we are the only one who proposes the acquisition, we won't give Club Med Lions a chance to open their mouths!

What's more troublesome is that this country Z capital named Fuxing was already a minority shareholder of Club Med before it proposed the acquisition, and when we contacted Club Med, they had already talked to the owner of Club Med—— The French Holiday Inn Group has been negotiating one after another for almost a year. Seeing that the negotiations are going to be successful, but they didn't expect us to intervene. Maybe they were frustrated and directly raised the purchase price. "

Yang Cheng has no sense of wrongdoing at all. Who made your negotiations progress so slowly and gave us a chance to intervene?

Spreading his hands, "So, how much is Fuxing's purchase price?"

Raiz Khan pushed the round glasses, "880 million euros!"

Yang Cheng pouted, "Why don't we just raise it to 900 million?"

Riz Khan smiled wryly, "Our team has given detailed analysis data. An investment of more than 900 million euros will be regarded as a failure. We will not only have to assume a large amount of debt from Club Med, but also prepare another fund for use. For the future development of Club Med, it will cost more than one billion euros, is it worth it?"

Yang Cheng tapped the table with his pen, "I told you the reason, so I won't repeat it. Compared with the influence and expected benefits brought about by the integration of the industrial chain, it is worthwhile to invest even 1.5 billion euros now. There is no doubt about that.”

After a pause, he leaned back in his chair, "Of course, we can't be taken advantage of by hiring the McKinsey Country Z branch to help us investigate the funding situation of the revival. I want to know the highest price they may offer;

In addition, arrange for people to directly contact the CEO and management of Club Med, and use all the means that should be used. The group of arrogant Gallic roosters cannot be compared with the professional ethics of the sworn enemy, the Germans. "

Yang Cheng knows the integrity of the French, and the French, who has always been self-proclaimed romantic, also lowers his proud head in front of the green and beautiful knife!

Anyway, for the sake of the goal, Yang Cheng has always used unscrupulous means. As for the nonsense of fair competition, it is an excuse for the loser!

Ruiz opened his mouth, but he still didn't say the words of advice. He has been working with Yang Cheng for a long time. His strong personality is not something he can persuade. He also has a clear position on himself, that is, to be honest It is enough to be a good executor of Yang Cheng, and there is no need to make decisions for Yang Cheng.

This is an important reason why Indian CEOs can gain a foothold in major companies around the world. They can properly pack up their ambitions.

"As soon as we get back, arrange for our negotiating team to raise the price!" Ryze Khan replied bluntly.

Yang Cheng nodded, "What's the matter with Banyan Tree? Didn't you say it was going well when you read the briefing last time?"

Ruiz Khan followed Yang Cheng's example and spread his hands helplessly, "From the information sent back from the Singapore negotiating team, I thought so at first, but obviously, we were all tricked, and they didn't think about it from the beginning to the end." over selling the Banyan Tree Group.”

No one was happy about being tricked, and Yang Cheng was even more angry. Anyway, he was also a Chinese compatriot. Sure enough, all the people in Nanyang were white-eyed wolves.

"What price did we offer, and the other party is not tempted at all?" Yang Cheng asked angrily.

"300 million, we have offered a high price of 300 million US dollars, which is already 10% higher than the market value of Banyan Tree. Of course, if the other party is sincere, 320 million US dollars is not unacceptable, but now according to our negotiating team Judging from people's reports, unless we offer a sky-high price that we cannot refuse, otherwise this negotiation can only be deadlocked here."

The price of 300 million US dollars is really not low. Although Banyan Tree has grown in momentum in recent years, it started late after all and took the high-end boutique route. Although it has a super high turnover, its actual net profit is not high.

More importantly, according to the results of previous investigations, Banyan Tree's own funds have always been in a state of loss, and the annual profits can only be continuously filled in holes.

If so, the founder couple still refuse to sell the company and take the money to enjoy the world? What do they think?

Don't mention ideals, maybe they can stick to them in the early stage of the hotel's development, but with the accumulation of funds and the day when they become capital, any bullshit ideals are nonsense, Yang Cheng would rather believe that there are ghosts in this world than capital Don't be tempted by interests! It is simply a fantasy.

Therefore, Yang Cheng believes that the problem is not the price. I am afraid that the other party refuses to negotiate further, and there must be something hidden in it! ()
