Through the wealth life

Chapter 384 7-11
While Li Guangyu and Li Xuelan were continuing to discuss the layout of the supermarket group, Gan Qin led Goldman Sachs Greater China President Yi Lanli Herrington to the office.

Li Guangyu said to him, "Ms. Harrington, you are welcome."

Yi Lanli received a call from Ganqin in the morning, asking herself to come to Li's Building. Li Guangyu had something to discuss with herself. Now that she came to the office and saw that the president of Hengyu Supermarket Group was here, she knew that she had asked for help last time. The business of the 7-11 company recommended by Li Guangyu is probably not a problem, and he finally got a big deal for the group.

Yi Lanli Herrington said: "Sheng Li, Miss Li, it's a pleasure to meet you."

After Li Guangyu invited Yi Lanli Herrington to sit down, he ordered Gan Qin to bring her a cup of coffee.

Yi Lanli Herrington said: "Li Sheng, you are too polite, in fact, you can have tea."

Li Guangyu said: "Ms. Harrington, our group also prepares coffee. You are welcome. You can tell Gan Qin which flavor you like, so that she can bring it to you according to your taste."

Seeing what Li Guangyu said, Elanli Harrington was no longer polite, and told Gan Qin her favorite taste.

After Ganqin went out, Li Guangyu said, "Ms. Herrington, I invite you to come here this time. I mainly want to discuss with you about your 7-11 company under the American Southern Company."

Yi Lanli Herrington said: "Mr. Li, you must know more about Southern Company and its 7-11 company now. Goldman Sachs can't fool you in this regard. I don't know if you have any questions. What's the answer?"

This morning, Peng Xiaoli reported to Li Guangyu about the Southern Company and the 7-11 investigation.

Li Guangyu felt a little strange. His Jiayi TV star was going to deal with the Texas consortium. The 7-11 to be acquired this time belonged to the Texas consortium. The headquarters of the Southern Company belonged to Dallas, but he didn’t know if the shareholders behind it were the Texas consortium. a member of.

So this time the acquisition of Li Guangyu is going to be done by Goldman Sachs. If it is done by itself, it is estimated that if it belongs to the Dezhou consortium, even if it is willing to sell it to itself, the purchase price will not be cheap.

Li Guangyu said: "Ms. Herrington, I think Goldman Sachs has also evaluated 7-11. I wonder how much money you need to complete the acquisition of 7-11?"

Yi Lanli Herrington said: "Mr. Li, the 7-11 brand is not only well-known in the United States, but also has agents in Japan, Mexico and Taiwan. Our price is 7 million US dollars for you Eat the 11-7 company of the Southern Company, which includes the 11-[-] brand and its convenience stores in the United States."

Li Guangyu is not satisfied with such a price, which is too high. At such a price, he might as well establish a new convenience store company. In Asia, he does not need to worry about the brand at all. region has sufficient influence.

Li Guangyu said: "Ms. Harrington, I don't think many companies will buy 7-11 at such a high price. As far as we know, the profits of 7-11 convenience stores in the United States are not very satisfactory. Not bad? It seems impossible to have a higher profit, and now only the 7-11 brand can be worth some money, and their stores are all rented, and these stores are not worth much at all."

Elanli Herrington also tried to quote a price, which left a lot of room for negotiation and some leeway for negotiation.

She herself had heard some rumors that the Lee Group had made tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars in profits in the stock market this time, and had enough financial resources to take over 7-11.If it weren't for Li Guangyu who is from Xiangjiang in some industries, it is not easy to acquire, she would continue to recommend some big groups to Li Guangyu, such as the Disney Group.

It's a pity that although many groups did not openly restrict the acquisition of companies by foreign personnel, if Li Guangyu went to acquire the Disney Group, he would definitely not be approved.

CFIUS is a department established by the United States on the acquisition of domestic enterprises by foreign capital. It is composed of the Ministry of Intelligence, the Ministry of Defense, and the Ministry of Finance. Any acquisition that threatens the security of the United States will not be approved.

The Disney Group owns a top-ranked TV network in the United States, which has a considerable influence on public opinion in the United States. Non-American citizens almost cut off the possibility of acquiring it.

Elanli Herrington said: "Mr. Li, what price do you think is more appropriate?"

Li Guangyu said: "Ms. Harrington, I also sincerely want to make this deal with you, Goldman Sachs. I think the current price of [-] million US dollars is more appropriate."

Yi Lanli Herrington didn't expect Li Guangyu to bargain so hard. He didn't want his company to make money. With such a price, it would be good if he could take down 7-11, but his company's work would be wasted.

Yi Lanli Herrington said: "Mr. Li, it seems that your group has already made a detailed assessment of the value of 7-11, but you only offer such a price, and Goldman Sachs cannot accept your business." Yes, after all, it will cost us to negotiate an acquisition, you can't ask us to complete your business at a loss, right?"

Li Guangyu said: "Ms. Harrington, you still want to come up with a price that Goldman Sachs thinks you can do. Our Li Group also knows the Southern Company and 7-11 very well, and everyone has shown sincerity."

After thinking for a while, Yi Lanli said to Li Guangyu: "Li Sheng, you also know that we will use a lot of resources to ensure that the 7-11 company can be successfully handed over to you when we discuss the acquisition, so There will be a lot of expenses involved, in order to continue to cooperate with your group in the future, we only need 2.3 million US dollars this time, and the acquisition time is expected to take about three months."

After thinking about it for a while, Li Guangyu agreed to Ilanli Herrington's proposal. Such a price was already relatively low. If they bought it at the current price, Goldman Sachs would not be able to make much money.

However, Li Guangyu believes that Goldman Sachs must have a way to lower the price of acquisitions. Their elites are not generally strong in negotiating acquisitions, which is why many companies will seek cooperation from them for mergers and acquisitions.

Before leaving, Yi Lanli Herrington said: "Mr. Li, if you have anything to acquire in the United States, you can also find us at Goldman Sachs. As long as the industry in the United States allows you to enter, I believe that Goldman Sachs can I bought it for you."

Li Guangyu has no plans to focus on developing the US market. Currently, he is still focusing on Japan and Taiwan. The US mainly invests in some future high-tech companies, especially those Internet giants that Li Guangyu is familiar with.

Li Guangyu never thought about holding shares. He became an angel investor and got more than ten percent of the shares, so as not to affect the development of these companies.

If these companies are controlled by Li Guangyu, there will definitely be problems in their development, and the US government will inevitably impose some restrictions on them.Li Guangyu will be at a big loss if he can't develop at that time.

After Li Guangyu sent away Yi Lanli Herrington, he said to Li Xuelan: "When you are in charge of the expansion of our supermarket group in Baodao this time, you should also investigate the 7-11 situation of Uni-President Group in Baodao. Prepare yourself by setting up 7-11."

Li Xuelan is also very happy. This has expanded another business for her group. The retail group composed of large supermarkets and convenience stores can complement each other and greatly enhance the overall strength of the group.

Li Xuelan said: "Don't worry, Li Sheng, I will observe more about the operation of 7-11 in Baodao, prepare for the opening of 7-11 in our group, and learn more experience from it."

Li Guangyu said: "This time, our 7-11 will start to expand from the Xiangjiang side, and then Southeast Asia, Japan and Taiwan will be handed over to Yanghuatang and Uni-President Group, but the agency fee will have to be redefined at that time."
