Although the 75 billion US dollars calculated by Berard just now is a lot, in fact, after deducting taxes, various costs, etc., the maximum that can reach Xiao Qi's hands is only 50 billion US dollars.
This is a figure that Xiao Qi only knows himself, because no one except himself knows the true cost of the dreampad. Others can give him an estimated profit of 30 billion, which is considered too much.
If you acquire a company, you definitely can't look at the marketing in the next ten or twenty years. At most, you can only look at the performance in the next two or three years.
Therefore, the price offered by Berard is indeed very attractive.
However, Xiao Qi was not without doubts: "Mr. Berard, what I'm very confused about is that the Louis Vuitton Group doesn't seem to have so much cash, right?"
As a large group, the amount of cash flow in hand is directly related to the life or death of a company.
Many super-large companies at the forefront collapsed due to lack of cash flow during difficult times, such as Lehman Brothers, which will become history in two years, and Merrill Lynch, which was acquired.
But people with sufficient cash flow have escaped crises time and time again, such as Li Chaoren, Li Diwang, etc. who like to have cash flow the most.
However, if a company's stall gets bigger, their working capital will become less and less.
The reason why Li Chaoren was able to have a huge cash flow of 200 billion during the financial crisis in 2008 was entirely because he sold a lot of shares to raise so much money, which helped him survive the financial crisis.
Spend it peacefully.
Louis Vuitton is different. They control or hold shares in more than 150 companies. Although their annual profits are good, it is probably impossible for them to spend 50 billion US dollars.
"Moet & Chandon (M&C), Veuve Clicquot (VC), Hennessy and other twelve wine brands, plus 15,000 acres of wine estate in Porto, France, can be sold for me to raise 30 billion U.S. dollars." Berard said seriously
: "If you agree, Mr. Xiao, Crédit Lyonnais and Banque Nationale de Paris will be able to transfer the money to your account within one month."
"Why do you want to acquire shares in Dreampad?" Xiao Qi curiously asked the acquisition maniac, "Aren't you focused on the global luxury market?"
Originally in 2011, Berard wanted to sell Moët & Chandon and Hennessy to cash out 11 billion euros to continue to increase his stake in Hermès. Unexpectedly, history has taken a small turn, and now Berard has taken action ahead of schedule.
, and it also has the assets of so many other alcoholic beverages.
It can also be seen from this that why Berard was able to successfully harvest so many luxuries is because he has such courage!
"I like all the luxuries in the world." Berard smiled. "The dreampad is also a work of art. I have seen thousands of French young people screaming for it, even my wife and children.
I also look forward to owning a dreampad as soon as possible! So I thought, since I like luxury goods, why not expand a step further and acquire luxury goods in the electronics industry? Wouldn't my industrial empire be more complete in this way?
"
After a pause, he added: "It's just that I know the bid that Motorola gave you last time, and I also know the bid from Green Pine Capital. Although dreampad has just come out, no company can swallow it in one go.
.So I choose to buy shares and enjoy the wealth brought by dreampad with you.”
"Papa..."
Xiao Qi clapped his hands and said, "Mr. Berard. Last time I listened to Mr. Bobby of Green Pine Capital, I thought he was already a very good investor. But now I know that the acquisition maniac is indeed an acquisition maniac.
I'm afraid very few people can remain calm under your instigation, right?"
The two were sitting on the bench talking, and even Governor Xiong didn't come over. Seeing Xiao Qi clapping and smiling, many people thought they were having a great conversation.
Although Xiao Qi was smiling, Berard's heart sank.
Apart from smiling and being surprised, the young man showed no emotion at all when faced with 30 billion US dollars.
As one of the most powerful people in Europe and the United States, Berard clearly knows that the most beautiful piece of fat in the world is no longer Facebook, but Xiao Qi's dreampad. But so far, no one can
Let Xiao Qi relax.
He originally wanted to make a desperate move and pay the highest price he could, but he didn't expect that Xiao Qi didn't care about 30 billion US dollars at all.
You know, the old saying "a thousand birds in the forest is worse than a bird in the hand" can be found everywhere.
No one can predict what will happen in a few years. Although Dreampad is now very popular, there are simply too many electronic companies that are more powerful than Fairy Company. If Samsung, Microsoft, Google and other companies take action, no one will know what will happen next.
Where can a dreampad go in one step?
In this case, Louis Vuitton is willing to give Xiao Qi 30 billion US dollars in cash so that he can settle down first and then continue to make money from Dreampad. This is actually very kind.
According to Berard, there are only two reasons why Xiao Qi did not agree.
The first is that Xiao Qi’s expectations for dreampad are far greater than others imagined.
The second is 30 billion US dollars, which is not enough to impress Xiao Qi.
Berard could only shake his head and said with a wry smile: "It seems that I will return empty-handed when I come to Chengdu this time!"
"Not necessarily." Xiao Qi responded calmly: "I once made a promise to Mr. Bobby of Green Pine Capital. Does Mr. Berard want to hear it?"
"Please tell me!" Berard cheered up and seemed to have a chance of improvement!
"Fairy Company will need some partners in the future. I like people who are very sincere. Mr. Bobby is one of them, and so is Mr. Berard." Xiao Qi muttered: "When we get there,
One day, if Mr. Berard is still interested, I welcome you to buy a certain amount of shares, and we can make money together!"
"good!!"
Berard laughed and finally felt at ease.
Participating in sharing wealth has always been the expectation of business people.
But he is not an idiot. When that day comes, he will have to evaluate the dreampad before buying it. If the dreampad reaches its end, Berard will have no interest.
However, out of his love for art films like Dreampad, Berard still hopes that when Xiao Qi raises funds, it will shine even brighter than it does now! (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome
