Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 804 It's just stealing money

"My God, do you know? It's unimaginable that they want to sell 35 billion. Are these people crazy?"

Although Foden did not intend to buy Heung Kong Electric, he still decided to help Lin Daoqiu, so he brought Pete, Brown and the senior management of Hongkong Land Group to conduct the initial acquisition negotiation.

What Foden didn't expect was that when these guys bought Xiangjiang Electric Lighting a few months ago, they spent less than 30 billion.

Under such circumstances, they still want to increase the price, which makes him feel unbelievable.

Lin Daoqiu can understand why Brown and the others dare to increase the price at this time, probably because it has something to do with Baoyun International's intention to acquire Heung Kong Electric.

"Foden, don't get excited, I have already found a team, and they can take over the negotiation."

From Lin Daoqiu's point of view, this acquisition may not be negotiated within three to five months.

The only variable now is Chen Jiasheng. If he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and directly took out 35 billion, then Lin Daoqiu really didn't have a good idea.

"Great, so I don't have to hang out with these fantasists, thank god you kind of saved me."

Foden didn't want to waste his time here. His purpose in going to Xiangjiang was to avenge the Bao family.

So it is impossible for him to spend too much of his energy on other things.

After sending Foden away, Lin Daoqiu called Li Guangwei over.

"Mr. Lin, you are looking for me."

Li Guangwei has always been in charge of the affairs of Xiangjiang Electric. Lin Daoqiu has decided to let him take charge of this negotiation.

"Starting today, you will take over the acquisition negotiations of Xiangjiang Electric, and the negotiation team will be under your full command."

Lin Daoqiu's decision was actually within Li Guangwei's expectation.

Because here in New Oriental, apart from him, other people really don't know anything about Xiangjiang Electric.

Although Li Guangwei had already expected that Lin Daoqiu would make such an arrangement, he didn't take it for granted. Instead, he was even more grateful to Lin Daoqiu.

At the beginning, he fell from a promising and respected proud son of heaven to a logistician whom no one looked down upon. It was Lin Daoqiu who pulled him back to make him rise again.

Li Guangwei didn't know how to repay this kindness, so he could only do his best for Lin Daoqiu.

"Mr. Lin, don't worry, I will definitely get this matter done."

Li Guangwei knew that the success or failure of this acquisition case was related to his future status in New Oriental, so he naturally did not dare to be careless.

"I want to know, how long do you plan to take to complete this acquisition?"

Li Guangwei hadn't thought about Lin Daoqiu's question before.

However, in his opinion, since he wants to compete with Chen Jiasheng for time, it is of course best to negotiate the deal as soon as possible.

"I plan to get this deal done before the Chinese New Year next year."

Li Guangwei seemed quite confident about this.

It was already December of 82, and there were still three months before the Spring Festival of 12. For Li Guangwei, there was still plenty of time.

If it is not prepared in advance, it is almost impossible to complete the acquisition of such a large amount of acquisition within a year or so.

"Your thinking is right. Protracted negotiations will not do us any good. Once the time is prolonged and Chen Jiasheng can find funds, it will be very unfavorable to us."

In the final analysis, Lin Daoqiu is still too poor. Although he is a person who traveled through time, he has always been in the film and television industry.

Although in the eyes of others, he has made a lot of money, and he is the leader of the new generation of young people in Xiangjiang.

But compared with the super rich like Chen Jiasheng, it has to be said that Lin Daoqiu is much poorer than them.

And not only that, Chen Jiasheng's relationship in Xiangjiang, whether it is British capital or with other rich people, is considered good, and there are far more channels for making money than Lin Daoqiu.

At this moment, it is impossible for Lin Daoqiu to compete with Chen Jiasheng in terms of funds, so what he hopes is to get the acquisition of Xiangjiang Electric as soon as possible.

Taking out 30 billion at this time is already the limit of Lin Daoqiu. If there is more, it may affect the business in Lin Daoqiu's hands.

If he could be given another year, Lin Daoqiu would not be as embarrassed as he is now.

After handing over the acquisition negotiation of Xiangjiang Electric to Li Guangwei, Lin Daoqiu was not able to relax.

Because under Foden's help, Giotto, the general manager of KFC Asia, came to visit him in person.

"Hello, Mr. Lin, I'm Giotto, the general manager of KFC Asia. Nice to meet you."

As soon as he entered Lin Daoqiu's office, Giotto smiled and shook hands with Lin Daoqiu who had already stepped forward.

After receiving the notice from the head office, Giotto didn't wait for Lin Daoqiu to come to his door, but came to visit him in person.

After inviting Giotto to sit on the sofa, Lin Daoqiu spoke directly to him.

"I believe that Mr. Giotto already knows that I intend to cooperate with KFC to open a store in Xiangjiang."

Lin Daoqiu has nothing to beat around the bush about this matter, if not because the funds at hand are too tight, Lin Daoqiu would have wanted to buy the franchise rights of KFC in Asia.

The funds he can use now are only enough to open some shops in Xiangjiang.

"Yes, Mr. Lin, I came here today to talk to you about this matter."

Although Giotto didn't understand why Lin Daoqiu suddenly invested in the fast food industry, after all, his current status is an internationally renowned movie tycoon.

But for Giotto, in fact, he has been suggesting to the head office to let them reopen a store in Xiangjiang.

It's just that the failure in 74 made KFC's top management dare not make this decision easily, so Giotto's suggestion was not adopted by them.

"I hope to win the exclusive right to operate KFC in Xiangjiang, and I can assure Mr. Giotto that there will be at least fifteen KFC stores in Xiangjiang next year."

Because of the urban renewal plan, Xiangjiang has become more urbanized than it was nine years ago.

Therefore, many places in Xiangjiang already have the qualifications to open stores, and opening [-] stores a year can only be said to be neither too many nor too few.

Giotto naturally didn't doubt whether Lin Daoqiu could do this. He felt that if Lin Daoqiu wanted to, it would be no problem to open fifty stores a year.

"Mr. Lin, we welcome an excellent investor like you to cooperate with us, and KFC executives also think so."

It sounds like this matter should go smoothly, but Giotto suddenly changed the subject: "If you want to win the exclusive right to operate KFC in Xiangjiang, you have to pay us a franchise fee every year, and you have to pay us a lot every year. Hand over [-]% of the total sales amount as a usage fee."

Lin Daoqiu didn't think too much about the first condition, but Giotto's second condition made him frown, it was a money grab.
