Chapter 419 The Speed ​​of Goldman Sachs
When Gan Qin went to Swire to discuss the acquisition of Swire Aircraft Maintenance Company with Wooden Shuaiya, Li Guangyu also met with Ilanli Herrington, President of Goldman Sachs Asia Greater China, in his office.

In the reception area, Elanli Herrington, who was sitting opposite Li Guangyu, said: "Mr. Li, after more than a month of our negotiations, we have finally obtained the 7-11 company and its brand under the Southern Company."

This time, Goldman Sachs acted quite quickly in order to give the Lee consortium a good impression. They sent elites to negotiate with Southern Company, and kept the price quite low.7-Eleven, which had a market value of around US$11 million, was taken down by them for US$1.8 million.

This time they can still make tens of millions of dollars in profits, which is also one of the main ways for Goldman Sachs to make money.

Li Guangyu said: "Ms. Herrington, I didn't expect you Goldman Sachs to be so fast. It was expected to take three months, but you only took half the time to do it."

Elanli Herrington said with a smile: "Mr. Li, please also believe in the strength of our Goldman Sachs. I heard that your acquisition in England was not going well. In the United States, if we Goldman Sachs came forward, There will never be such a problem, we can solve any problems for your consortium in the companies that you can acquire."

Although Li Guangyu knew that Goldman Sachs was powerful, but for such a telecommunications company, if Li Guangyu wanted to buy it in the United States, he had better stop dreaming. Those American investigation agencies would not allow Li Guangyu to control their companies.

This time the Li Group bought 50% of the shares, and there are still many people in England who are against it. If it wasn't for Thatcher's insistence, Li Guangyu wouldn't even think about it.And I want to know that Xiangjiang is still under the rule of England, and it is so difficult for Li Guangyu to acquire it. I wonder what will happen to the United States.

Li Guangyu said: "Ms. Herrington, you also know that many companies in the United States cannot be intervened by our Li Group, so we can find markets in some industries that have little to do with the security of the United States. In the future, mergers and acquisitions in this area, You also need the support of Goldman Sachs."

Elanli Herrington said: "Mr. Li, Goldman Sachs is also looking forward to cooperating with your consortium again. If you need any companies in your group, you can contact me at any time. I believe that Goldman Sachs will definitely help you complete the acquisition. .”

What Elanli Herrington wants is to be able to win the acquisitions and mergers and acquisitions of the Lee consortium in the United States. Now he is in the Greater China region, and the business is not too much. More is still preparing for Goldman Sachs to enter the mainland .

In the Greater China region, there are very few groups that have the strength to go to the United States to merge and acquire companies, and the only one that can initiate a large-scale acquisition is currently the Li's Consortium. If she wants to have a better performance, she naturally hopes to be in the Li's Consortium Get more business here.

While Li Guangyu was chatting with Yi Lanli Herrington, Zhao Xiaoyan, vice president of Hengyu Supermarket Group, came to Li Guangyu's office.

After Zhao Xiaoyan sat down, Li Guangyu said to Zhao Xiaoyan: "Since Xuelan and Linwen have opened up local markets in Baodao and Japan respectively, this time you will go to the United States to sign the acquisition of 7-11 with Goldman Sachs. Temporarily live in the United States, rectify the 7-11 company, and stabilize the development of 7-11 in the United States, I will ask Xiaoli to cooperate with you."

Zhao Xiaoyan had known for a long time that the group was entrusting Goldman Sachs to acquire 7-11 in order to develop its own convenience retail store.It's just that it didn't succeed so quickly, and Li Sheng sent himself to take over, so he won't be responsible for the management of the convenience store by then.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaoyan is still very happy. Nowadays, Li Xuelan and Chen Linwen are the main managers of the supermarket group, but there are relatively few places where she can intervene. Even if her position in the group is higher than that of Chen Linwen, it is useless.

It is also a good thing for me to be able to take charge of the convenience store affairs alone this time, otherwise the vice chairman and executive vice president of the group would be really aggrieved.

Zhao Xiaoyan said: "Li Sheng, I will go to the United States tomorrow. I will definitely maintain the stability and development of 7-11 and expand the influence of the 7-11 brand in the world."

Li Guangyu then introduced Elanli Harrington to Zhao Xiaoyan. This time, Herrington and Zhao Xiaoyan will go to the United States to assist the Li Group to complete the acquisition.

After chatting for a while, Elaine Herrington got up to bid farewell to Li Guangyu, and at the same time expressed Goldman Sachs' willingness to cooperate with the Li Group.

After sending away Yi Lanli Harrington, Li Guangyu said to Zhao Xiaoyan: "After you take over 7-11 this time, pay attention to see if there are suitable talents in the company, and at the same time find a reliable person to take over the management of 7-11." Talent, you lead a group of backbones back to Xiangjiang to build our 7-11 convenience store, and expand to Southeast Asia, and you will focus on 7-11 convenience store business in the future."

Zhao Xiaoyan was very happy to hear that, with Li Guangyu's instructions, she can manage the 7-11 convenience store with peace of mind.Although she is very busy like this, she likes this kind of life. She has such a high position in the group, but is not responsible for the expansion of the group. She is not used to it, and now she finally has her own tasks.

Zhao Xiaoyan replied: "Li Sheng, after I go there, I will pay attention to the situation in the company and strive to complete the company's reorganization within three months, so that the company can stabilize and lay a solid foundation for our expansion."

Li Guangyu is not too optimistic about the development of convenience stores in the United States, but he is more optimistic about the markets in Hong Kong and Thailand.Japan and Taiwan have already been represented by local groups in the Singapore market, and it is not easy for Li Guangyu to enter these regions again, so he can only hope to charge more agency fees.

Thinking of this, Li Guangyu said: "After you take over 7-11, look at the company's contracts with agents in various regions. The current agency fee is really too low. Find a way to increase it in the future."

Zhao Xiaoyan said: "Li Sheng, Ito-Yokado in Japan, which is developing well, can raise it a little bit, but at present, Taiwan, Mexico and other places are still losing money. Our increase in agency fees may not be conducive to the promotion of our brand."

Li Guangyu himself was busy with the group's affairs and really didn't pay attention to this aspect. He also asked: "Can you tell me about this aspect in detail?"

"Li Sheng, after Ms. Peng and the others investigated 7-11, they sent some information about agents in various regions to our group. Currently, only Ito Yokado is profitable, and the Uni-President Group in Baodao is still in the We are losing money. Based on the situation in each region, we have concluded that the initial investment of 7-11 convenience stores is relatively large, and it is estimated that it will take about five years to recover the cost. Of course, this is because of the large-scale opening of stores. Because at the beginning Market acceptance is limited, and there will be loss-making operations." Zhao Xiaoyan said.

Li Guangyu is not worried about this. All his stores do not rent a house, otherwise the supermarket group would not need him to invest so much money in them. Even if the profits of supermarkets and retail stores are small, the promotion of the store is enough for him Earn a fortune.

As for the loss-making operation at the beginning, it is quite normal. After all, the market is not opened up at once, and it takes time to accumulate.

Li Guangyu said: "After you take over 7-11, make adjustments according to the actual situation, and try to ensure the interests of the group while maintaining the 7-11 brand promotion."
