Chapter 302 [Lian Crawford Department Store Acquisition 2]
Hollande, Morse, and Jonathan set off for London together. On the plane, the three chatted.
"I am suddenly looking forward to the acquisition of the entire Ritz-Carlton Hotel and naming rights by BOSS in the future!" Jonas said excitedly.
Hollande and Morse listened, and couldn't help being a little curious about the topic of Jonas!
"Hey, how did you know that BOSS would acquire the entire Ritz Hotel and the naming rights?" Hollande asked curiously.
"This is inevitable. The naming rights for Ritz hotels in Europe are in the hands of the Ritz family, but they are only willing to stick to the three time-honored Ritz hotels; similarly, the naming rights for Ritz hotels in the United States are in the hands of A·K, but they only have two The Ritz Hotel, and the rest of the Ritz hotels are located in the hands of five companies. These people do not have the financial resources and the ability to carry forward the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. Only the BOSS has this strength. If you don't believe it, we can take a bet!"
Holland and Morse shook their heads after hearing this. The fool bet with you. When you say this, do you still know the boss’s ambition?
When they arrived in London, the three of them did not come to the door directly, because Wu Guangyao commissioned the vice president of the Bullying Brothers of London's commercial bank as a lobbyist.
Like this kind of transaction, everyone usually finds a bank as a lobbyist!
Naturally, Wu Guangyao is no exception. Besides, some consortia in London, Wu Guangyao has cooperated more or less, so it is natural to make good use of it.
Because of the bullying bank as a guide, the trio successfully met Tony Scott, the head of the Tony family.
"World Ship King, would you actually like a small department store?" When Tony heard that Wu Guangyao was about to buy his own shares, he was overjoyed in his heart, and he sent him to the door!
Jonas saw Tony's appearance and knew that BOSS might have to spend more money!
The reputation of BOSS is too great, and others will not let go of this high price opportunity;
Of course, Jonas also has the bottom-line price given by Wu Guangyao. If they can’t agree, give up and let Baiyou Group build a department store by itself.
"Mr. Tony, have you seen Lane Crawford's operating status?" Jonas said casually.
"Don't look at it, judging from the annual dividends, the business is very good!" Tony did not give Jonas a chance to belittle Lane Crawford, so as not to wait for the price to be lowered.
"That is indeed lucky, the two major shareholders are in a quarrel, and they can still operate so well!"
When Tony heard this, he immediately understood what Jonas meant, and he remained silent, neither affirmative nor negative.
"How many Lane Crawford shares does Mr. Tony have in his hands?" Jonas continued.
Tony didn’t answer, and asked, “How much do you plan to buy the entire Lane Crawford?”
"1.6 million pounds!"
"Mr. Jonas, you guys are really kidding!"
"Mr. Tony, this is what our boss said to me. Department stores are not a difficult company to operate. If the price is too high, you can set up a department store yourself!"
"A department store with a century-old brand and good reputation is not so easy to own!"
"It is precisely because of this that we gave out 1.6 million pounds. Of course, if Mr. Tony holds more than 20% of the shares, we can add more!"
"25% of the shares, then quote a sincere price!"
"420,000 pounds!"
Tony shouted directly: "600,000 pounds, you can sign an agreement immediately if you need it!"
The trio was dumbfounded, this one is simply asking for a price!
Jonathan said helplessly: "Mr. Tony, if we sign an agreement with you for £600,000, the three of us may be unemployed! If you are dissatisfied with you, the bottom line given to us by the boss is £430,000. If you sincerely want to sell your hands. Of the shares, we sold it at a price of 430,000."
After that, Tony bit on 550,000 pounds and did not let go. The trio left a call, shook his head and left.
It's useless to encounter such a brainy, deadly person who wants money, no matter how good a negotiator is!
Wu Guangyao was also dumbfounded after receiving the news from the trio!
Unexpectedly, I was treated as a triumphant. The 25% of Lane Crawford shares of £550,000 is a 25% premium!
Jonas in London gave Wu Guangyao a suggestion, that is to contact Charlie, the second shareholder of Lane Crawford;
Because everyone already knows, even Carver’s so-called major shareholder only has 25% of the shares, which shows that major shareholders are not that important.
Wu Guangyao felt so too, and decided to see this Charlie himself, to see if he was willing to quit!
The Ritz-Carlton
Wu Guangyao and Charlie looked at each other. Although Charlie is an Englishman, he is really unknown on Hong Kong Island and can only be regarded as a small fish and shrimp!
And Charlie is a little curious, what is this Chinese rich looking for?
"Mr. Charlie, how do you like the Ritz Hotel?"
"The luxury and service of the Ritz Hotel are not inferior to those of The Peninsula Hotel. It is like confirming the saying "Serve gentlemen and ladies with the attitude of gentlemen and ladies" I think you have learned the essence!"
"Thank you Mr. Charlie for the compliment!"
"Mr. Wu invited me to a banquet this time. Is there anything wrong?"
Wu Guangyao nodded, and then said, “Why don’t Mr. Charlie directly acquire the shares in the remaining shareholders of Lane Crawford, so that you can become the head of Lane Crawford as a matter of course?”
When Charlie heard this, he immediately guessed the purpose of Wu Guangyao's invitation to himself!
plotting Lane Crawford, Charlie suddenly felt a sorrow!
I have been fighting for Lane Crawford for many years, but I still can’t compete with Freddy, who has less shares than his own. I didn’t expect this Chinese businessman to come up with an idea again!
Charlie would naturally not tell Wu Guangyao that he did not want to buy the shares of these small shareholders, but because he was afraid that these small shareholders would take the opportunity to ask for a high price.
In order to truly control Lane Crawford, Charlie must at least hold 51% of his shares, while he only has 20%; basically, he must take the majority of the minority shareholders' shares.
In this way, it’s strange not to be slaughtered fiercely!
"Mr. Wu wants to buy Lane Crawford?" Charlie asked rhetorically.
Wu Guangyao said generously: "Of course, it's my honor to be able to stay at the No. 1 Department Store on Hong Kong Island! Mr. Charlie, I think you have been fighting for so many years. Since there is no hope, why bother staying at Lane Crawford. Sell me the shares, let me try!"
Charlie lost his thoughts, fell into a very heartbeat!
For so many years, I have been working under Freddy's opponent. I am really tired, so I might as well take a sum of money and invest in other industries.
Charlie raised his head, his eyes filled with determination, and said: "20% of Lane Crawford shares, how much does Mr. Wu plan to give!"
"5.6 million Hong Kong dollars!" Wu Guangyao said generously.
"6 million Hong Kong dollars!"
"5.8 million Hong Kong dollars!"
"make a deal!"
Although the price is 200,000 Hong Kong dollars more than expected, Wu Guangyao is very happy!
I heard the trio complain that Tony is also a greedy and stubborn person, and it is difficult to make a deal.
Wu Guangyao naturally believed what they said, so he felt that although Charlie had asked him 200,000 Hong Kong dollars more, he was really in a good mood!
