Chapter 356 Vivendi
After leaving the Samsung Li family, Xu Liang recalled Li Jianxi’s attitude during the dinner, as if he was really trying to bring him and Li Yixin together.
Shaked his head.
“Whatever, I’m leaving soon anyway.”
When he got home, Sun Mingzhen and Sun Yanzhen were not back yet.
Lu Hui came over.
"Mr. Xu, we just received a formal letter from Samsung, inviting us to sign a contract tomorrow."
"Sign a contract?"
Xu Liang was stunned and reached out to take the contract. He took a look at the document in Lu Hui's hand.
It is indeed an official document from Samsung.
And it is stated above that the conditions are mainly Hanhua.
“We went to have a meal, and Li Jianxi compromised?”
Xu Liang didn’t understand the other party’s operation.
“Are you planning to make friends with me?” Xu Liang said, “Whatever, just eat the benefits.”
“Reply to the other party, I will visit on time tomorrow.”< br>
"Okay."
The next day, Xu Liang visited Samsung on time. Compared with the last intrigue, Li Jianxi was much more happy this time.
After a brief chat, the two parties formally signed the contract.
Hanhua has given Samsung Securities the exclusive agency rights for its business in South Korea. In exchange, Hanhua's 'Blue Dragon No. 2 Fund' will pay a fixed increase in capital at a price of approximately 45,000 won per share. way, investing to hold 10% of Samsung Electronics.
The entire investment cost US$1.24 billion.
"President Li, we will be close partners from now on."
Xu Liang stretched out his hand and smiled.
"Of course. Samsung not only hopes to cooperate with Hanhua, but also hopes to cooperate with Hongmeng."
While holding his hand, Li Jianxi smiled.
“I believe there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future.”
"I'm looking forward to it very much."
After letting go, Li Jianxi took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it over.
“This is a photo of my wife. She specially selected it and asked me to give it to you.”
Xu Liang took it but didn’t open it to look at it.
“I will try my best to paint this portrait of Mrs. Li.”
"There's no rush. President Xu's work is urgent. By the way, my youngest daughter Yixin will soon transfer to the Central Academy of Fine Arts in China to study art appreciation. President Xu has lived in the capital for a long time and is a top student at Central Academy of Fine Arts. I hope she can take care of it for me. One or two.”
Xu Liang suddenly realized.
It turned out to be waiting here.
"President Li, don't worry, I will try my best to take care of Miss Li." Xu Liang said.
He has no intention of developing any super-friendship relationship with Li Yixin. He just needs the people below to pay attention to him.
After signing the contract and having a simple meal, Xu Liang left.
After lingering with Sun Mingzhen and Sun Yanzhen for a day, Xu Liangcai officially left South Korea and flew to Shanghai.
The person picking up the plane this time was Lu Jue.
Arrived at the hotel where we stayed.
“Can you make an appointment with the Magic City authorities for me to see when it’s convenient to discuss the contract?”
"Okay."
Lu Jue nodded.
"Have the negotiations with Yangcheng come to a conclusion?"
"Not yet."
Xu Liang nodded.
After asking a few questions, he was asked to leave.
"Lu Hui?"
"Mr. Xu."
"Please help me look at the houses in Shanghai." Xu Liang said.
As the most economically developed city in the country, he will definitely come to Magic City often and always stay in a hotel.
"Do you have any requests?"
"It's still the same as before."
Lu Hui understood.
The big boss has a few simple requirements when buying a house.
First, the place is big.
Second, be quiet.
Third, the transportation is convenient.
After explaining to Lu Hui, Xu Liang took out Luo Hongxi’s photo and prepared to start the promised portrait.
Just as I was about to start writing, my phone suddenly rang.
Picked it up, looked at it, and pressed the answer button.
"You called me late at night, did you miss me?"
"I missed you, you big-headed ghost." Jiang Xiaoyang's voice came over.
"What you said is so sad. I have been thinking about you just now." Xu Liang's flirtatious words came right out of his mouth.
"Miss me? Why didn't you call me when you missed me?"
"It's unfair. You called me just as I was about to call. What does this mean?"
< br>
"What?" Jiang Xiaoyang asked subconsciously. "It makes sense."
Although he was happy, Jiang Xiaoyang still let out a 'poof'.
"Ivory cannot come out of a dog's mouth. ...Okay, I won't talk nonsense to you. I have good news for you. We have signed a contract with Suguo."
Xu Liangang I was shocked, "This is really good news. How much did it cost?"
"570 million Chinese dollars, acquire 85% of the equity, and bear Suguo's debt of 390 million Chinese dollars."
"85%?"
"It's not yours, the richest man in China." The name is so famous that people also wanted to invest, so they retained 15% of the equity, and Suguo Corporation also agreed to grant us the right to use the 'Suguo' brand free of charge.
Suguo Supermarket. After years of development, the brand has gained a certain influence in East China. It would be a pity to give up.
And 85% of the equity is enough for us to control Suguo Supermarket, so I agreed." Jiang Xiaoyang said.
Xu Liang nodded, "What are your thoughts on the integration of Suguo?"
"Suguo has developed rapidly in the hands of Ma Jialiang, and its capabilities and experience are first-rate in the retail industry, so I am not prepared A major operation on the management.
However, I will send a finance and vice president to Suguo to improve the company's financial operations and management," Jiang Xiaoyang said.
Xu Liang thought about it for a moment.
"Just do as you say. But we must hurry up and make arrangements for the listing of Suguo. Compared with the national market, its scale is still too small."
"I am communicating with Ma Jialiang and strive to list it in Xiangjiang before the end of the year."
After Xu Liang agreed, "How is the listing of Guangming Glasses going?"
"It's done. The company has a total share capital of 30 million shares, priced at HK$12 each, and plans to sell 4.5 million shares, of which 2 million shares will be cashed out by us, Wang Haipeng and Chen Huatao, leaving 2.5 million shares to raise HK$30 million as the company's next step. Development funds.
The cooperative investment banks are HSBC and CITIC Pacific. ”
HSBC is the leading investment bank in Xiangjiang, and CITIC Pacific is the leader in the mainland. The two are indeed the most suitable choices.
"How much of the 2 million shares will be cashed out?" Xu Liang asked.
“1 million shares, cash out 12 million Hong Kong dollars.”
“Not bad, more than half of the original investment has been recovered.” Xu Liang said with satisfaction.
More than two years ago, Hanhua invested 15 million Huaxia coins and took 25% of the equity of two companies.
More than two years later, the assets and revenue of Doctor and Guangming have more than tripled.
Coupled with the market scale, brand, and integration effects brought about by the merger of the two companies, Hanhua's investment has increased sixfold.
Although it is not the top in venture capital, it is still very good.
And after cashing out 12 million, they still hold 22% of the equity of Guangming Glasses, and can continue to make money as the company develops and appreciates in the future.
Seven times, eight times, or even ten times are possible.
This is the charm of investment.
Jiang Xiaoyang continued with a smile: "The launch date is set for October 2nd. Do you want to come?"
"It depends on the time. I will go there when I have time."
"You still want to come?" Not coming back?”
“I’m going to Paris soon”
“Why go to Paris?”
"Do you know Vivendi?"
"I've heard of it, but not very clear. But I vaguely remember that they should be in the water and entertainment industries, right?" Jiang Xiaoyang said.
“Vivendi is not only engaged in water services and entertainment, they are also a giant in the publishing industry, television industry, telecommunications industry, and a top company in the fields of waste treatment, energy and transportation.” Xu Liangdao.
“Do you want to discuss cooperation with them?”
“I want to acquire Vivendi’s gaming business.” Xu Liang said directly.
"Will they sell?"
"Haha, you probably haven't paid attention to international news for a long time. After the Enron incident broke out, many giant companies were exposed to the problem of false accounting, and Vivendi was one of them. 1.
According to the information I collected, they lost 13.6 billion euros in 2001. In the 2002 mid-term report, they recorded a loss of 12.3 billion euros again, and the annual loss is expected to be more than 20 billion euros.
< br>In other words, a loss of nearly 40 billion euros in just two years
No matter how big the company is, it is a high probability that it will sell off its assets to pay off its debts.
As long as the price is enough, Vivendi is happy to sell. "
"It seems that you have already planned it. "Jiang Xiaoyang said.
"Of course. I have been eyeing Vivendi as early as last year. If I were not afraid of short selling and it was difficult to acquire Vivendi, it would also be on my short list. "Xu Liangdao.
"How much are you going to spend? "
"It depends on the situation. But it will definitely not be less than US$2 billion. ”
"Can you come up with so much money?" Jiang Xiaoyang asked in surprise.
“Of course I can’t take it out, but Hongmeng can.” Xu Liang said.
“Can Hongmeng come up with US$2 billion in cash now?”
“Of course not. I plan to add part of the cash and part of the equity of Hongmeng International.” Xu Liangdao.
Continuing to enrich the equity structure of Hongmeng International and finding protection for Hongmeng International was his plan.
Moreover, Hongmeng is also competing with Google for the French market. With the help of Vivendi, a local leader, it will be of great help to Hongmeng's development in France and even the entire French-speaking region.
You must know that the Gallic Rooster is also one of the five gangsters. Although it is not as economical as Germany, its independence is higher than that of Britain and Germany.
Especially the French-speaking areas of Africa are still firmly in the hands of the Gallic Rooster.
"Hongmeng International Equity? Vivendi's losses are so serious, he is afraid that he values cash more." Jiang Xiaoyang said.
“Maybe, let’s talk about it first.”
Xu Liang didn't explain much.
Although Vivendi has suffered serious losses, it has a good vision. Most of the companies it acquires are high-quality assets.
Furthermore, Hongmeng is developing at a rapid pace. Over the past year, he has received more than a hundred investment emails, and he is not afraid that Vivendi will not be interested.
