My rebirth is different

Chapter 670 The Second Acquisition

Zhou Mengyi's rhetorical question made Nelson and Alexander a little at a loss.

Nielsen feels that he has too little experience, and the sales of 500 million US dollars are nothing?
Moreover, the other party's net profit rate is even more difficult to answer.

The gross profit rate is as high as 20.00%, but the net profit rate is less than 5.00%. This...is really not good-looking.

"Well... I don't know what price Ms. Zhou wants to buy our company?" Nelson asked back with an idea.

If you don't know what price to quote, let the other party quote first!
Zhou Mengyi didn't care about his cautiousness, and simply quoted the price, "500 million US dollars, to acquire all the businesses under Alienware, including but not limited to brand, technology, team, and sales channels. Of course, debts are not included .”

Twenty-five million dollars...

Nelson was lost in thought, the price seems to be good...

Alienware has been operating in its own hands for so many years. Up to now, the net profit it brings to itself is only one million yuan a year.And looking at the current development trend of the entire industry, let alone making money in the future, if you can maintain no loss, you will be well-managed.

Moreover, the subdivision of high-end gaming computers is not a one-man company. Both HP and Dell are preparing for their own high-end gaming computer business, and the competition will be very fierce in the future.

Although my heart is moved, I feel a little bit unwilling to agree to the price of the other party like this.Gritting his teeth, Nelson counter-offered: "Twenty-eight million US dollars! If your company can offer this price, I agree to sell it. Of course, it must be paid in cash in one lump sum."

Nelson was ready to retire if he could get such a large sum of money.

Isn't the sunshine in California bright, isn't the beach scenery beautiful, and there aren't enough girls in bikinis!
Why do you have to deal with all kinds of computer hardware all your life? After working hard for most of your life, isn't it just to enjoy life after being financially free!
"Yes, I agree with this price in principle. If there is no problem with due diligence and your company does not have complicated debts, this deal will be closed soon." Zhou Mengyi did not get too entangled in the price, but readily agreed down.

This price did not exceed Yu Wenfei's authorized range, and she also knew that this kind of acquisition of tens of millions was just a trivial matter, and IBM was the "battlefield" where she should devote more energy.

Her straightforwardness obviously exceeded Nelson's expectations. This is a big deal worth nearly 3000 million US dollars. The other party agreed so simply?

This... can't be a group of liars...

After being stunned for a long while, he finally came to his senses, hesitated and said, "Before signing the acquisition agreement, can your company provide a capital verification report? After all, 800 million US dollars is not a small sum..."

Zhou Mengyi didn't even need to open her mouth. The Citibank acquisition consultant next to her replied directly: "Mr. Nelson, I am a staff member of Citibank. Citibank is also the acquisition consultant of Star Technology Company. All the acquisition funds have been remitted to us. In the special account of Citibank. There is no problem with the capital verification report, and I can provide it to you now. Of course, if you want to be more cautious, we can go to the nearby Citibank branch for capital verification."

………………

Yu Wenfei had just arrived in the capital, and before he officially met with the State-owned Assets Affairs Office of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, he received a call from Zhou Mengyi, and the first acquisition was officially finalized!
"Retain the R&D and local factories of the alien company, and merge the rest of the procurement, finance, and sales channels into the group company. In addition, after I get Lenovo's shares here, you can go to negotiate with IBM. If you need If not, I will fly there too." Yu Wenfei arranged.

The acquisition of Lenovo's shares went very smoothly. On the one hand, the original two shareholders were very "sensible", and the asking price was very reasonable, and there was no false report at all.

On the other hand, Yu Wenfei was also very straightforward. He took a look at the price proposed by the other party and immediately agreed to it. There was no haggling at all!

The two major shareholders transferred a total of 60.00% of Lenovo Group's shares to Yuwenfei, and the price was completely in accordance with market conditions.On that day, the market value of Lenovo Group was about 120 billion yuan, so 60.00% of the shares were 72 billion yuan.

Excluding the shares sold to Yuwenfei, the two major state-owned shareholders still have [-]% of the shares in their hands. They are regarded as minority shareholders and do not participate in the company's daily operations.

The two parties signed a share transfer intention agreement on the spot, and after Lenovo Group notifies the Hong Kong Securities Market, the transaction can be officially completed after completing the relevant procedures.

If it gets out, no one will believe it. The on-site negotiation time for this acquisition with an amount of more than 70 billion yuan did not exceed half an hour...

At the negotiation site, Liu Chuanzhi and Yang Yuanqing also came.

The expressions of the two were different, Liu Chuanzhi's face was gloomy, and he couldn't help but want to say something several times, but finally he endured it.

As for Yang Yuanqing, his expression was a bit complicated. When he looked at Yu Wenfei, his face showed joy. He obviously believed that Lenovo Group would definitely develop better if it was handed over to Yu Wenfei.

But when he turned his head to look at his "mentor" Liu Chuanzhi, there was an unbearable look on his face. Lenovo Group is also the career that Chairman Liu has worked hard for all his life. Now he must be very upset to see this industry being handed over to others. Take it easy.

After talking with the state-owned assets representative, Yu Wenfei turned to look at Liu Chuanzhi.

To this old senior, Yu Wenfei holds a neutral view, neither praise nor criticize.

Because Liu Chuanzhi is a very complicated person, with mixed merits and demerits.

"Dr. Liu, I want to know your thoughts. What I need to tell you in advance is that after I take over Lenovo Group, the company will expand in size, but it may not make money for a long time. Therefore, the company There will be no dividends." Yu Wenfei said frankly.

Just kidding, after his project of benefiting the people is implemented, let alone making money, it will be a business miracle if the company can maintain without incurring huge losses.

If you don’t make money, of course you don’t get any dividends.

"Mr. Fei is not afraid of the stock price plummeting by doing this? You know, in the past few years, Lenovo Group's market share, annual revenue and annual profit have been increasing year by year. The Hong Kong stock market is different from the domestic market. Companies that pay dividends are not welcome." Liu Chuanzhi said with a sullen face.

Yu Wenfei smiled lightly and said, "I am only responsible for myself. Does it matter if Lenovo's stock price is high or low? It can even be said that even if Lenovo is delisted from the Xiangjiang stock market, so what, I am not short of money."

Liu Chuanzhi was speechless, indeed, Yu Wenfei has the qualifications not to look at investors' faces!
"Then...then what do you mean?" After holding back for a long time, he said.

"I want to ask if you have any thoughts on the shares in the hands of your founder team? If you want to sell, now is the best opportunity, because I will reorganize Lenovo Group later, and integrate the IBM PC business unit and Alienware The companies are all integrated. At that time, your shares will still be diluted, unless you can provide enough funds to match the corresponding shares. Of course, I don’t think you can.” Yu Wenfei said sincerely.

Liu Chuanzhi's nose was almost crooked by anger, this is a blatant threat!

On the one hand, it has been clearly stated that for a long time to come, there will be no dividends, and even losses.

On the other hand, it is necessary to reorganize the company and dilute its own shares.

With a two-pronged approach, I really couldn't bear it, and the other party's purpose was very clear, which was to force me to leave the stage, obviously because I felt that my group of "old guys" stayed in the company and got in the way.

He really wanted to tell Yu Wenfei forcefully that he would not leave the stage!
It's a pity that he is still rational and understands a basic truth, that is, in a joint-stock company, small shareholders should never try to fight against big shareholders!
Especially those big shareholders with deep pockets and deep backgrounds...

Yu Wenfei is right about one thing, that is, if you want to cash out and leave the field, now is the best opportunity.

After a moment of silence, Liu Chuanzhi raised his head and said, "Give me a little time, I want to discuss with the founder team."

Lenovo's old founder team has basically retired, and they still hold 15.00% of the shares in their hands.In addition, in the Xiangjiang Securities Market, there are still 15.00% of the outstanding shares.

Since the state-owned shareholders are so generous and directly transfer 60.00% of the shares to themselves, then Yu Wenfei is not polite, and plans to buy back the shares held by founders like Liu Chuanzhi. In that case, he will hold Lenovo Group 70.00% %[-] of the shares.

Looking back, after integrating IBM's personal computer business and Alienware, he will account for about 90.00% of the shares of the new Lenovo Group, which can be regarded as a complete holding.

At that time, I can toss and toss as much as I want, and no one will be around to give me advice.

If it really doesn't work, it's a big deal to delist from Xiangjiang, which will be more convenient.

The founders of Liu Chuanzhi and his gang were also very interesting. After discussing with each other, they agreed to cash out and leave the market, transferring all 15.00% of the shares in their hands to Yu Wenfei.

In terms of price, Yu Wenfei was not stingy, according to the market price rose by 20%, and took out another [-] billion in cash.

It is equivalent to saying that for this acquisition, he paid 92 billion yuan and got 70.00% of the five shares of Lenovo Group.

………………

On the other side of the ocean, at the IBM headquarters, Peng Mingsheng stared at the documents in his hand in a daze.

The above is the latest news about that star technology company.

"Alienware was acquired by a Chinese company, and the purchase price was rumored to be as high as 3000 million US dollars! "

"The Industry Shocked!The Chinese computer giant Lenovo Group, the two major shareholders and the founder team left the market collectively, and Star Technology spent tens of billions to acquire Lenovo! "

"What is the business logic and purpose behind Star Technology investing huge sums of money into the PC industry?" "
