Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2349 Exceeding Expectations
At the beginning, Merrill Lynch spent 3000 million US dollars to buy 7% of the shares of Bloomberg, and more than [-] years have passed.

According to the growth of Bloomberg over the years, Lin Daoqiu made an offer of [-] million US dollars after discussing with the people below.

"I decided to pay [-] million US dollars to buy [-]% of your shares."

"[-] million US dollars? Well... this is the price."

Hearing Lin Daoqiu's offer of [-] million US dollars, Oye didn't look happy. It seemed that the price didn't impress him.

In fact, Oye never thought about selling Bloomberg from the beginning, so he never thought about exchanging [-]% of his shares for cash.

It wasn't until Lin Daoqiu expressed his interest in Bloomberg and was willing to pay [-] million US dollars to buy Bloomberg's shares that Oye began to estimate the price of Bloomberg.

"Mr. Lin is joking if he wants to buy [-]% of the shares for [-] million U.S. dollars? If this amount of money was used five years ago, it would have been fine, but it is no longer possible."

Oye shook his head, and directly rejected Lin Daoqiu's $[-] million purchase price.

In fact, Lin Daoqiu had already guessed that Oye would not be satisfied with his asking price of [-] million US dollars. This was only his preliminary quotation, and naturally it was not the final price.

If Oye agreed immediately after Lin Daoqiu proposed a price of [-] million US dollars, then Lin Daoqiu would definitely panic because he felt that the price he gave must have exceeded the other party's psychological expectations.

But judging from the current situation, Lin Daoqiu and his staff are still very accurate in predicting the price of Bloomberg. At least from the current situation, the shares of Bloomberg are obviously more valuable.

"Then I don't know how much Mr. Oye thinks you need to exchange for [-]% of the shares in your hand?"

"Mr. Lin, to tell you the truth, after Bloomberg was acquired from Merrill Lynch, the company has been growing at a rate of [-]% every year. I believe that as time goes by, Bloomberg is far bigger than you and I imagined. Much more valuable."

Oye actually can't foresee the future at all, otherwise Merrill Lynch would not have encountered such a big trouble two years ago, which forced them to start streamlining the company's work and lay off more than 1 people .

But this does not prevent Oyer from making his prediction for Bloomberg. In his opinion, Merrill Lynch spent 3000 million to buy [-]% of Bloomberg's shares seven years ago, so now the price must be at least [-] times higher.

"Although this price sounds outrageous, I think Bloomberg is indeed worth so much money. If Mr. Lin intends to acquire 15% of my shares in Bloomberg, he must pay at least [-] billion U.S. dollars."

After hearing what Oye said, a smile suddenly appeared on Lin Daoqiu's face, which was obviously not something that could make him happy.

"The price Mr. Oye set is the price of the future, but we are talking about the present, and I can never buy the future with the current money, so the price of 15 billion is simply a fantasy."

The future of Bloomberg is definitely bright, but this will be proved by time. No matter what predictions Oyer makes, no matter how accurate his predictions are, it is impossible for Bloomberg to be worth so much money from the current point of view.

If he really wanted to pay for his prediction, it would be not just 15 billion, but [-] billion or even more.

Obviously, it is impossible for Lin Daoqiu to agree to Oye's offer of 15 billion, which almost makes him give up the idea of ​​acquiring Bloomberg.

Oye has worked hard on Wall Street for many years. He is a pure businessman, and a pure businessman can always sense the thoughts of the negotiating partner very keenly.

When he proposed a 15 billion offer, Oye could clearly feel that Lin Daoqiu's idea of ​​acquiring Bloomberg had weakened a lot.

Even if it was him, he would definitely be shocked when he heard that someone else's asking price was four times higher than the quoted price. After all, it was not a deal of hundreds or tens of millions, but a deal of A deal worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

"Mr. Lin is right, but some things are wrong. The foreseeable investment is the unforeseen gamble. Both you and I think Bloomberg has a bright future, so this is an investment rather than a gamble."

"Since it is a foreseeable investment, the risk is naturally lower than that of pure gambling, so it is only natural that the price I offer will be higher."

What Oye said was a bunch of nonsense, and Lin Daoqiu couldn't listen to a word.

Because in his opinion, both investment and gambling are risky behaviors, and there is no possibility of [-]% profit.

"It seems that Mr. Lin does not agree with what I said."

Oye could tell at a glance that Lin Daoqiu didn't agree with what he said at all. It seemed that it would be difficult to reach a satisfactory result in today's negotiation.

"If I get $[-] million, would Mr. Oye be willing to sell your shares to me?"

Lin Daoqiu's words sounded like he was just testing Oye. If he didn't agree, Lin Daoqiu should continue to raise the price.

But Oye is very accurate in seeing people. He can already feel that the price of [-] million is already the highest price in Lin Daoqiu's heart. If he refuses, then he should give up buying [-]% of the shares in his hand.

After all, in addition to Merrill Lynch, Bloomberg still has [-]% of the shares. Lin Daoqiu can use this money to buy other people's shares, and there is no need to die here.

"Since Mr. Lin is really interested in buying Bloomberg, I'm willing to refund one billion dollars for your sake."

Oye immediately lowered the price by [-] million dollars, but Lin Daoqiu was not satisfied with his bargaining price, because Lin Daoqiu's price in his heart was [-] million U.S. dollars, and he was unwilling to pay any more.

"Since this is the case, it seems that today's negotiations can only be concluded with this. I am very grateful to Mr. Oye for taking the time to meet me. I hope that your work will not be delayed."

Lin Daoqiu is already planning to escape, and Oye has already heard Lin Daoqiu's meaning from the other party's mouth.

However, it is obviously impossible for him to sell [-]% of his shares at a price of [-] million. After all, Oye's valuation of Bloomberg has been raised a lot since Lin Daoqiu's quotation.

"Mr. Lin, you're welcome, as long as you want to see me, you can come anytime, and my door is always open for you."

Oye stood up and shook hands with Lin Daoqiu, and then he personally sent Lin Daoqiu to the door, and then watched him leave.

Lin Daoqiu's asking price really moved Oye. If he could increase the price to [-] million, Oye would seriously consider selling the shares to him, but Lin Daoqiu's asking price of [-] million still couldn't impress Oye. .
