The Age of Rebirth

Chapter 187 Chapter 187 Preliminary Intention
Li Weidong was surprised, is the public's secrecy work so bad? Such an important thing can be leaked. This is a commercial secret, right?
Li Weidong took the newspaper and took a look. Although his English was poor, he could still understand some words. Analysis, predict, what kind of words are these, Li Weidong didn't need to read the signature to know what the result of the analyst's prediction was.

Although this kind of news is not guaranteed to be correct, it is also not guaranteed to be wrong. If it is correct, what this newspaper wants is an effect. Everyone can guess. If you dare to guess, I dare to report it!

"Old Ge, what do you think?" Li Weidong asked mysteriously.

"Chairman, we can carry out this kind of thing. Besides, you have your own considerations. Although this automobile factory is not doing well now, it is undeniable that they have a history of hundreds of years!" Ge Guoliang said carefully.

He didn't know how it happened to him, he didn't have such a plan when he came.

"Also, Mr. Zhang and I have similar ideas. The automobile industry will definitely shine in the future. As for whether we need to consider other manufacturers, I think Skoda still has its advantages!" Finally, he said after some consideration.

This is his own idea. He is not very optimistic about this company. The loss is too great. Although the first half of this year looks good, who can guarantee that it will be the same in the second half of the year, but Li Weidong values ​​it, so he can only convince himself.

How can investment only look at financial statements? Financial data are only used to bargain, not decisive factors.

If the financial data is better, and you are still used to invest, people will not need you. Wouldn’t it be good to go public directly?
The cost of going public is so low. Except for the underwriting fee of the investment bank, the rest is all their own. The key is that the shares have almost nothing to do with the company when they are put on the market.

Retail investors said they want to pay dividends, and the secretary of the board of directors said that the board of directors would consider it.

Retail investors said they want to increase the stock price, and the secretary of the board of directors said that the stock price is a market behavior, please respect the laws of the market.

The company has nothing to do with you!

Investment is to plan in advance, invest when the finances are not good, this is called venture capital!

"Well, what you said is very reasonable, I will seriously consider it!" Li Weidong said solemnly, at least they all think that the future of cars is promising, which is worthy of encouragement.

"There are not many things to do now. If you are bored, you can go out and have a look. You don't have to stay in the hotel like me!" Li Weidong added.

Li Weidong waited in the hotel for three days, and finally got a call from Bell. His father finally persuaded some shareholders to sell their shares at a suitable price.

In the hotel where Li Weidong lived, eight or nine people came. In order to strengthen the momentum, there were also a dozen people from Li Weidong's side, and of course most of them were just for the sake of numbers.

Li Weidong doesn't care what kind words people say, he just shakes hands when he goes up, at least we have to do enough etiquette.

Old Bell has already finished talking about many things for Li Weidong, but the main issue of price has not been resolved. The shares they have obtained through various means will naturally be realized.

Just like venture capital has to wait for the company to go public, and then slowly cash out and leave the market, this is an exit mechanism, and only the securities market can have so many leeks.

And now, although Skoda seems to be getting better, most people don't believe that it will be profitable in the short term. It has too much debt and too much cost, so it is not so easy to recover.

It has been two and a half years since Volkswagen acquired Skoda. The 90 billion mark promised at that time has not been fulfilled until now. How reassuring is this? Now that someone is willing to buy it, naturally they are willing, and they may be able to force Volkswagen.

"The shares of the few of them together account for almost 20.00% of the company. If the negotiation can be concluded, the rest is not a problem. As for the state-owned shares, it is a bit difficult to handle!"

"Their original promise with VW was to allow VW to acquire these shares in batches within the next ten years. Unless VW voluntarily gives up, it will be very difficult for you to get them!" Old Bei whispered, and Bell and Becks were in charge of translation.

Li Weidong glanced at a young man wearing glasses next to Zhao Dongsheng, and seeing him nodding, he knew that there should be no problem with their translation.

"You ask what price they want?" Li Weidong did not intend to take all these shares.

After taking these shares, all the money will be transferred to them personally, which basically does not help the company, so in the end, they still have to invest in the company, and only giving money is just an act of drinking poison to quench their thirst.

What good is it to settle the debts for the company and make up the wages of the employees? It will still be the same in two years. The best thing is to introduce advanced technology and management experience, and everyone has these.

Therefore, Li Weidong's plan is based on the fundamentals that the public will continue to hold or even hold shares. If he engages in foreign trade, machining, light industry, and real estate, Li Weidong still has some confidence.

But for high-tech things like cars, Li Weidong has to admit it, which is different from those industries where money is spent.

"The price is [-]% higher than the public's bid at that time!" Bell chatted with them for a while, and then turned to tell Li Weidong.

He didn't need to look at Li Weidong's expression to know that the price was definitely not suitable. Although Skoda had made some improvements, it had more debts than before. On the contrary, the price was even higher, which was impossible.

So before Li Weidong could answer, they quarreled with the other party again. It is estimated that this price is not the first time they have negotiated, and now they have to change in front of Li Weidong.

"You tell them that I am at most [-]% higher than the public, and I have to get the approval of the public and the government before I can pay. As for how to pass, you need your father to figure out a way with them!"

Li Weidong asked himself that he didn't have this ability, and the money he gave to old Kiribel was not so easy to get, it was considered a broker, and naturally he had to make full use of it.

"They still expressed their dissatisfaction with the price, and they can find a way, but the price will be increased by 10 points!"

Becks helped translate, these 10 points are worth tens of millions of dollars.

Li Weidong looked at them and felt that he was too kind, and his expression was obviously intended to be eaten as his little white rabbit.

"Tell them it's impossible. It's already a sky-high price. If they don't want to sell it, then treat it as a tourist for me and go back in two days!" Li Weidong said firmly.

Don't look at his harsh words, if the public asks for a price increase, he will definitely follow suit. This time he is betting that the public is still hesitant and let him grab the opportunity. The next acquisition time of the public should be at the end of next year. When the trend of Skoda is clear.

So at this moment, they probably can't make up their minds, or they don't care about others.

After a while of quarreling, it finally calmed down. Now it is only a preliminary intention, which does not represent anything, and it will not be so simple. As long as there is this intention, an announcement can be made to the public.

So Li Weidong doesn't need to waste his tongue and communicate too much with them, he just needs to use their relationship to settle the equity issue.

"They should be very happy. This price is several times higher than when they were privatized. A few years ago, when Soviet Russia was still there, it started to be brewed. In the end, they just held the company's shares with different arrears. Equity!"

Bell stayed and said a few words to Li Weidong. Li Weidong knew what was going on when he heard it.
