Chapter 431: What level of player?
"Mr. Tang is right. I have indeed had some headaches with these tankers recently.
But...deal with it at a low price? I don't know how to deal with it?"
< br>Gao Yuan asked following the other party's words.
“That’s right, Director Gao should also know that our Gaosheng Group also has an investment and leasing business for large oil tankers, and we have a large number of international shipping company customers.
If you trust us, you can entrust us with the sale or sublease. In this regard, our professional level is definitely one of the best in the world. ”
A look of pride appeared on Tang Yijing’s face.
As Gao Sheng’s investment consultant, he certainly has the pride in this regard.
You must know that Gao Sheng Not only an investment, but also a top broker in the world He is also experienced in mergers and acquisitions, asset management, and acquisition consulting.
The connections and resources he has are beyond the reach of ordinary companies. This is why many financial businesses and services cannot avoid Gao Sheng. Reason.
"Of course, I know that you are in urgent need of funds now, so it is actually more suitable to choose the second option.
That is to sell these tankers directly to Gaosheng first, and then we will go to the international market to find suitable ones.
After all, finding the right buyer is not that easy, no luck. It is possible to delay it for a year and a half.
But in this case, the risk will be transferred to us, so the price...
You also know the current price, Mr. Gao. Based on the market conditions of oil tankers, if you want the group to agree, I’m afraid... I can only offer about 80% of your purchase price..."
Listen to Tang Yijing explain his "suggestions".
There was no expression on Gao Yuan's face at this time, her fingers were tapping regularly on the table, as if she was lowering her head in deep thought.
Tang Yijing thought Gao Yuan was moved, so he struck while the iron was hot and continued. "Director Gao, the most important thing in business management is to avoid risks.
In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with you investing in the IT industry, but it is really a bit hasty to rush into the shipping field that you are completely unfamiliar with.
Throwing away this burden and divesting the largest risk assets will not only greatly ease your company’s cash flow, but will also facilitate subsequent financing, and your company’s corporate value will also increase! ”
Tang Yijing's analysis is very reasonable in the eyes of any operator.
After all, these oil tankers are considered non-performing assets in everyone's eyes. They can neither generate profits nor realize cash in Gao Yuan's hands, occupying huge amounts of funds in vain.
Rather than smashing it into your hands, getting rid of it at a discount is almost the best outcome.
For Evergreen Biotechnology, it only paid a small price to save the Bincheng Shipyard.
I also obtained shares in the shipyard that I couldn't usually buy, as well as the mayor's favorability...
Of course, this transaction is not too bad.
But...
Gao Yuan looked at Tang Yijing and suddenly smiled.
"Haha! To be honest, this acquisition is actually entrusted by others to rush the ducks to the shelves... If it can be done as soon as possible, it is naturally what I hope.
But those 8 oil tankers When we bought it, it was 3 billion RMB, which is 2.4 billion at a 20% discount. We lost hundreds of millions every time we entered and exited... This is a bit unacceptable to me.”
Tang Yijing nodded and said, "There are indeed losses, but you also know that if you let us take over these tankers for you, you will need to bear great risks.
I believe that this price is even in the current market It’s also a high price. The key is to help Evergreen Biotech regain a healthy capital flow.
This is the most important thing!”
He seemed to be thinking about Evergreen Biotech. with a sincere tone.
“To be honest, when I learned that the team led by Director Gao has made a major breakthrough that has attracted worldwide attention in the field of biotechnology, I admired it deeply.
Even if my daughter joins Baiyeji, I strongly support her!
Why? Isn't it because China lacks real entrepreneurs like you, Director Gao, who are low-key, pragmatic, and invest heavily in research and development?
With great sincerity, I want to promote cooperation between the two parties and use our rich asset management experience to help your company tide over the difficulties.
Well... let's do it this way. Director Gao, what kind of price do you think you can accept? I'll go back and try my best to get it from the company. What do you think?
After all, our group is very optimistic about Evergreen Biotechnology. I think that for the sake of subsequent long-term cooperation, we will definitely be willing to give the greatest sincerity! ”
Gao Yuan looked at the other party and finally nodded slowly.
"Well! Of course I believe in your sincerity, and the company does have a practical need to deal with these assets as soon as possible..."
Tang Yijing was overjoyed and couldn't help but smile... …
“As for the price...what do you think of 3.6 billion?”
Tang Yijing’s smile instantly froze on his face.
"Wha...what?!"
He thought he heard wrongly and confirmed again.
"Dr. Gao, you mean... 3.6 billion?!"
"Yes! That's right, it's 3.6 billion." Gao Yuan smiled and nodded.
Tang Yijing was stunned.
Good guy, not only did you not give a discount, but you also increased the price for me?
In this market situation, not only do you not plan to lose money, but you also want to make a huge profit?
Am I crazy or are you crazy?
Looking at Gao Yuan with a relaxed smile on her face, Tang Yijing was at a loss.
This is different from the script!
The script in his mind should have been like this...
"Twenty percent off!"
"No, it's such a loss, I won't sell it."
"Do you know? You know what bargaining is, but you should pay the price, what if it works out?"
"Hmm... 10% off?"
"Deal!"
I achieved my goal, but the other party looked confused. This should be a normal process, right?
You must know that the reserve price given by the customer to Gaosheng is the original purchase price.
On this basis, no matter how much is negotiated, he will get a 5% commission.
With a 10% discount of 3 billion, Gao Sheng can make a net profit of 300 million, and 5% is 15 million...
Even if the transaction is made at a 10% discount, he will receive a high commission of more than 10 million.
Isn’t there a big house?
As a result, he had already started planning whether to go to Las Vegas or Miami for this year's vacation trip, but the other party did not follow common sense.
My daughter has risked her life, but you don’t even give me a 10% discount?
"Director Gao, aren't you making things difficult for us? In this market situation, whether we can sell 2.4 billion, let alone 3.6 billion, is a question..."
He was not sure what kind of medicine this director Gao was selling, and he was afraid that the other party would see something, so he could only smile bitterly.
"Are you embarrassed? That's such a pity. In that case, I'd better wait and see if I can find a more suitable buyer." Gao Yuan shrugged indifferently.
"Ah this..."
Ten thousand grass and mud horses roared past in Tang Yijing's heart.
That’s what I said, you should pay me back!
If 20% off doesn't work, 10% off, if 10% off doesn't work, we can still discuss it with 50% off...
Where's the sincerity?
He had a strange feeling. The other party didn't seem to be in any hurry to sell the boat?
But this is inconsistent with the information he has...
Shouldn’t today’s evergreen creatures be short of money?
What the hell kind of business operation is it to expand high-interest loans crazily while holding on to a pile of non-performing assets? !
"Director Gao, I sincerely want to help your company solve its financial problems, but your offer... really makes it impossible for me to start."
Tang Yijing said with a bitter smile.
"Your company's cost is only 3 billion. In this kind of market, you can ask for 3.6 billion... I don't even have the courage to make a quotation to the company..."
Gao Yuan smiled.
"Haha! Mr. Tang is wrong about one thing. Our cost is not 3 billion. You know... the 600 million liquidated damages paid to the Novi Shipping King are also included in our additional investment costs. .
So to be precise, our cost should be 3.6 billion."
Tang Yijing was stunned.
What? Co-author, you even want to pass on the liquidated damages to us?
Does our Gao Sheng look so much like someone who has been taken advantage of?
And as far as he knew, the 600 million liquidated damages were clearly paid by Bincheng Shipyard itself. Although the money was still paid by you, the money was clearly used by you to buy shares.
Oh! You have obtained the shares, and then include the 600 million in the additional cost of buying the ship?
What kind of cost accounting is this?
He kept complaining in his heart, but when he heard the words "Nowei Ship King", Tang Yijing still felt a little worried.
"Really? That's such a shame."
In order to avoid being noticed by the other party, Tang Yijing could only give up temporarily with a smile on his face.
After all, today he made a "special trip" to discuss the purchase of shares. What's the point of keeping an eye on those eight oil tankers for bargaining?
Don’t be anxious, don’t be anxious, it’s the other person who should be anxious.
That kind of assets and liabilities may be about to collapse now. They are playing psychological warfare. They must be stable...
Tang Yijing comforted himself like this.
"By the way, Mr. Tang, Gaosheng Group is world-renowned for business information. What do you think of the next market situation of large oil tankers?"
Gao Yuan suddenly said this, which made Tang Yijing's heart skip a beat. .
Did the other party sense what he said?
After careful consideration, he said carefully.
“This... shipping field is not my expertise, and I dare not jump to conclusions.
However, as far as I know, in the first half of this year, the profits of the benchmark route of very large crude carriers (VLCC) from the Middle East to China have dropped significantly, and the average daily charter rate (TCE) is only more than 11,000 US dollars per day.
Currently, many shipping companies are operating at a loss, orders from shipyards are shrinking, and business at shipbreaking yards is soaring. There seems to be no sign of improvement in the short term..."
" Um! Pretty much the same as what I know. "Gao Yuan glanced at the other party.
"Then you say, if the transportation market picks up, but a large number of old ships are dismantled, and there is a shortage of new ships... Is it possible that the market supply and demand will reverse? Woolen cloth? "
"Huh? ”
The sweat on Tang Yijing's back immediately dropped.
“Uh...this...should...be possible, right?
However, the international oil shipping market is unpredictable, and even our professional team cannot be 100% accurate. Prediction, Director Gao, your idea is a bit too bold, isn't it?"
Gao Yuan suddenly showed a half-smiling expression.
"Haha! I was just guessing. You are right. The market is unpredictable. Who can predict it with 100% accuracy..."
Tang Yijing: "..."
...
Walking out of the office building of Evergreen Biotechnology, Tang Yijing's face was a little gloomy.
I have two purposes for coming today.
First, try to acquire as many shares of Evergreen Biotech as possible.
The second is to capture the eight large oil tankers according to customer requirements.
However, I didn’t expect that none of the tasks that seemed to be accomplished easily could be fulfilled...
According to the original plan, Gao Yuan should have heard that 10 billion At this purchase price, we should rush to sell the shares to them.
In this way, the eight oil tankers under the name of Bai Yeji will naturally become theirs by controlling Evergreen Biotechnology.
Selling it directly to Ship King John can bring the evergreen creature that is in a liquidity crisis back to life.
In other words, Gao Sheng only used a premium of about 2 times to buy two biotechnology patents with "unlimited money", which will bring them a steady stream of income in the future.
This business is definitely profitable!
Unexpectedly, I met a master who was indifferent to oil and salt.
Not only did he have no intention of selling the shares, but he was even indifferent when he offered to help the other party get rid of the "bad assets" in his hands...
That's all, the other party The last few words made Tang Yijing feel a little uneasy.
He really hoped that he was overthinking it, but when he thought of the other party's hidden smile, as if he could see through people's eyes, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable feeling that the other party already knew everything.
Looking back at the ordinary office building of Evergreen Biotech.
A trace of regret suddenly appeared in his heart.
It seems that I shouldn’t have come today...
……
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching Tang Yijing's leaving figure, Tang Yun looked back at Gao Yuan, hesitant to speak.
"Tell me what you want to say."
"Uh... haha! Let's forget it. With my status, it's better to avoid any suspicion."
Gao Yuan He glanced at her with a smile.
“Are you trying to say that the other party’s offer is actually good and we can consider it?”
"Well...at least those ships are indeed a big trouble for us. Not only do they take up more than half of our funds, but it is also difficult to cash out.
The annual maintenance fee alone is a waste of money. Astronomical figures.
If you can raise the price a bit more, give it to us. Shouldn’t it be a good thing?”
“To be honest, before today, I was actually having a headache with these ships.
But the other party seems to be a drunkard today. I didn't care about the 'kindness' of the wine, but it gave me an intuition...
Our acquisition of these ships may be another stroke of genius..."
Gao Yuan did not understand Meng Lang's decision before.
Even if he wanted to acquire Bincheng The shipyard's shares, or more deeply, it wants to ride on the Hu market There is absolutely no need for them to buy the 8 ships together with this connection.
With so much money, what could be wrong with it?
Even if it is just for Zero Financial Management, it would be a waste. Isn’t it great to have a high rate of return that doubles every year?
But Meng Lang was determined to spare no one, including the ship and the shipyard, and even talked about some kind of organizational strategy...
Because he couldn't understand it, he was very concerned about it.
Because she cared about it, as soon as Tang Yijing spoke today, she quickly realized that the other party seemed to be vaguely concerned about these ships...
Although Tang Yijing had just spoken to test, The city was nice and did not reveal any useful information, but she believed in her own judgment more and more.
The acquisition of oil tankers is by no means a whim of the other party, or a genuine intention to help you solve your troubles... but it is probably one of the other party's purposes!
So here comes the question...
Who would be interested in a few low-priced oil tankers with little market?
Of course there are some people who think that the market is about to change...
Although Zero's intelligence collection work is very efficient, the source of information always revolves around the open Internet.
Even the strongest crawler cannot crawl to "non-public" information.
Some first-hand precious market information is always in the hands of some top players...
But...
A trace of doubt flashed in Gao Yuan's eyes.
If her guess is correct, some of the world's top players have begun to smell unusual market changes.
If they were to be considered masters of first-hand information, then Meng Lang, who had mastered this information a month or more in advance, before everyone else...
What level of player is he?
Is there... really a technology in this world that can predict future market changes with 100% accuracy?
Is it big data analysis? Or amazing business intuition?
It’s not like the other party’s philosophy of “Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism”... (End of this chapter)
