Chapter 2571 Share Exchange
"You may not be able to buy shares if you have money." Chen Zhao said calmly.
After all, Denver is just working for him.
So Chen Zhao doesn't necessarily want to give Denver face.
"Mr. Chen, I know a friend, a very rich friend."
"Then what?" Chen Zhao said disapprovingly.
There are so many rich people in this world.
"That person also intends to subscribe for shares."
"What does this have to do with you subscribing for shares?"
"I know where his bottom line is."
"Denver, please speak clearly. I don't like veiled conversations."
"I hope to subscribe for 2% of the shares for 1% and 500 million US dollars." Denver said: "As a condition, I will tell you what the bottom line is for that person."
"I said, not everyone is qualified to subscribe. There are many rich people contacting Alex. I think your friend is definitely not the richest."
Now is the time to divide the cake. Those who can subscribe now are either the people around Chen Zhao or people with energy.
For example, people who can cause trouble on this project.
Yamila belongs to this kind of person.
Chen Zhao roped her in from the beginning, not only because of her acquaintance with Chen Zhao, but also because of Yamila's family strength.
If there is any trouble in the future, Yamila and her family will definitely consider their own interests and intervene.
"Mr. Chen, maybe I don't have the qualifications, but that person definitely does."
"Tell me who the other party is."
"Jane Funkle, King of Cruise Ships."
Chen Zhao was a little unfamiliar with this name, or he had never heard of it at all.
But Alex was right next to her. Chen Zhao covered the phone and asked, "Do you know the king of cruise ships, Jane Funkle?"
"Know that Jane Funkle, the initiator of the largest merger and acquisition in the last century, who annexed the former cruise giant, is the helmsman of Caribbean Empire Cruises, the largest cruise company in the world today. Caribbean Empire Cruises owns 28 ships Among the top cruise ships, there are six of the top ten cruise ships in the world, and the Deep Blue of the Seas owned by its company is the largest and most luxurious cruise ship in the world.”
"Mr. Chen, if I were you, I would never refuse Jane Funkel's shareholding." Denver said, "You should understand how many high-quality passengers each cruise ship can bring you."
Chen Zhao did not deny it. In fact, he was already moved.
This Jane Funkel is eligible to participate in the stock.
"Is it her personal stake? Or Caribbean Empire Cruises?"
"It's an individual...but it will soon become Caribbean Empire Cruises, because this company will soon be delisted and become the personal assets of Jane Funkle."
"So where is his bottom line?"
"Two billion dollars," Denver said.
Chen Zhao was stunned for a moment. Isn’t the price too high?
Can this Jane Funkel afford so much money?
"Are you sure you didn't report an error?"
Even Chen Zhao himself does not dare to value Magic Island, which is still nothing, at US$200 billion.
The other party actually dared to directly offer 1% of the shares for US$2 billion?
It's like a sunrise industry, no matter how great the future is.
No one dares to say how much this industry is worth before it generates profits.
"I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong," Denver said.
"How many shares does Jane Fankel intend to subscribe for?" Chen Zhao asked.
"10%."
"You mean he plans to spend $20 billion to buy 10% of Magic Island's shares? Are you sure he can afford that much money?"
"No, it's an equal-to-equal exchange of Caribbean Empire Cruises shares at the same price."
Chen Zhao raised his eyebrows: "Is the valuation of Caribbean Empire Cruises reaching US$200 billion?"
"Yes." Denver replied: "Caribbean Empire Cruises' operations and profits have been very impressive in recent years. Last year's profits reached US$8.9 billion, and the average profit per cruise ship reached US$310 million. , and Caribbean Empire Cruises’ routes cover all deep-water ports around the world, and it also transports hundreds of thousands of high-quality tourists to major ports.”
Chen Zhao raised his eyebrows: "I'm afraid it's not good for you to reveal the other party's bottom line like this."
"Mr. Chen, do you think I would have said so much without his consent?"
"Did this Jane Fankle ask you to test my tone?"
"Yes...Also, I need to correct your grammatical errors. You should call her ma'am."
"Uh... Okay." Chen Zhao was a little embarrassed: "What about you? How many shares do you plan to subscribe for?"
"2%, US$1.1 billion." Denver said, which was also the maximum share he could subscribe for.
Of course there is no comparison between him and that Jane Fankle.
"Yes...but I need to contact Jane Fankle before I can trade with you."
"Of course, you decide the time."
After hanging up the call with Denver, Chen Zhao turned to look at Alex: "Your job is here."
"Chen, I am actually your lawyer, not a business consultant."
"I won't even count your interest, can't you do me a little favor?"
"Okay, tell me about the situation first."
Chen Zhao repeated the information he heard from Denver.
"Do you want to facilitate this share swap transaction?"
"think."
"If you look at it in the short term, you made a profit from this share swap transaction, but in the long run, you didn't make a profit."
"How many years will it take to develop Magic Island before it can be valued at $200 billion?"
"Although Caribbean Empire Cruises' profitability is amazing, it has reached its limit, and the competition in the cruise tourism industry is very fierce. If they can't find new passenger sources and deep-water ports, then they will go downhill. Jane What Fankel is looking for is Magic Island’s new source of tourists. Although her cruise ship can bring a large number of tourists when it docks, it can also get more guests, and Magic Island will not lack the cooperation of cruise companies. Even if there is no Caribbean Empire Cruises, there are other cruise companies trying to get in front of us, and you don’t have to worry about whether any cruise ships are willing to dock.”
"So, I lost money on this transaction?"
"There are losses and profits in business. I'm just talking about our current position. We don't have to rely on them, but they absolutely cannot do without us, so they should be the ones who are anxious. You can definitely put forward higher demands."
"Although it seems that we have the advantage, based on their company's current valuation, I don't think they are willing to pay more benefits besides the 1:1 exchange ratio."
"The share exchange ratio shouldn't be able to be increased, but we can let them contribute a little more money."
"How much more do you expect them to pay? If it's a few hundred million dollars, forget it."
"What if it's five billion dollars?"
"Are you really able to negotiate?" Chen Zhao couldn't believe it, feeling that Alex was speaking like a lion.
Even now, Chen Zhao feels that the prices offered to his friends before were just cabbage prices.
