Age of Dreams

Seeing Bobby's embarrassment, Xiao Qi smiled again: "If you can't decide now, you can go back and discuss it, I'm not in a hurry."

"Well, I can't decide, I can only talk about it after discussing it." Bobby would naturally not show anxiety in front of Xiao Qi, and squeezed out a smile: "By the way, I came in a hurry this time, no What gift should I bring to congratulate Miss Tang for her pregnancy? I will make up for this blessing in a few days."

"Thank you." Xiao Qi nodded and said, "It just so happens that I have good news to tell you."

"What good news?" Bobby was a little slouched.

"Romania Bitdefender anti-virus software company, is your Green Pine Capital invested company?" Xiao Qi asked.

Bobby's sense of smell is very keen, and he lifted his spirits when he heard the words: "Are you wanting to invest in this company?"

"It's not an investment, it's a wholly-owned acquisition." Xiao Qi nodded and said: "I remember that Green Pine Capital is also responsible for leading the sale, right?"

"Yes! We must also be professional in this respect, not inferior to Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, the fees are cheaper, and the work is faster." Bobbyli directly promoted: "Better Vande Company is good! When we invested in it before, I think this company has the potential for development. If it really operates well and big capital will support it, it will not be worse than Kaspersky! It will not be worse! It is definitely the best decision if you want to buy it wholly!"

"Don't be busy saying good things." Xiao Qi smiled, "I have a lot of requirements. The first is a wholly-owned acquisition. The second is that I want to bring all the major engineers of Bitdefender back to China, none of them. fall."

"The first one is easy to say, as long as you have money. But the second one..." Bobby said with a wry smile: "Eastern Europeans love home more than French people. It is not easy to get half of them, let alone all, I It can't be done!"

Worldwide. In fact, it is not the Chinese who love home the most in terms of work.

Birth, old age, sickness and death, many French people basically will not leave their cities. If your factory wants to relocate to other cities, sorry, at least 80% of the employees will resign because they will not leave their hometown-so why do you say France So many century-old shops? Wasn't it forced out yet?

Speaking of Eastern European lovers. In fact, it's not all right. In many developed countries in Western Europe, many Eastern Europeans are working.

But anyone who has some conditions will never leave his hometown, and if he is a person with sufficient strength, he will never move.

This group of engineers in Romania is like this. They are already a wealthy middle class, and their pursuit of wealth is already very weak, and they feel a bit guarding their own one-acre three-centre farm.

I'm afraid this is why. One of the important reasons why Bitdefender will not develop in America and Asia.

"So." Xiao Qi said in a deep voice, "You can talk to them one by one. At least I have to sign a five-year contract, and the longest period is not limited. The treatment is all in accordance with the standards of the Fairy Laboratory. And I will give They have sufficient leave-from-home allowances and at least two months of family leave every year. What do you think?"

The salary package of Fairy Lab is well-known in the world, even if it is converted into US dollars in Renminbi. It is definitely ranked in the top three in Silicon Valley, not to mention in Europe. The proper first!

Bobby also knew this, and heard the words: "There should be no problem. Anyway, the company has been acquired. Under the confidentiality clause, it will be troublesome for them to find a job. They are equivalent to coming out to work for a few years. After working hard for a few years, you can be comfortable for a lifetime. Even the children and grandchildren are prepared. What's wrong?"

After a pause, Bobbyli said again: "If you want me to tell you, you can just send out a signing bonus ranging from 100,000 to 500,000 euros per person. I promise to get you more talents."

"Okay." Xiao Qi waved his hand grandly. "As long as it is a matter of money, everything is not a problem."

"Then you look at our acquisition?" Bobby said, intermittently.

"Six billion, don't add a penny!" Xiao Qi's reaction was quick enough.

"You are really stingy." Bobby sighed and shook his head.

"This is a matter of principle and cannot be changed." Xiao Qi reminded him with a smile: "I will return to China in a while. If you want to finalize it sooner, it's best not to delay."

"Got it."

Bobby sternly turned: "We will give you an answer within three days at most!"

He also tested Xiao Qi's bottom line, and would only give a purchase price of $6 billion.

It is undoubtedly a funny thing that a super rich man at the level of Xiao Qi can't say it, and bargaining with others for millions and tens of millions.

For Green Pine Capital, although it is not too satisfactory, if you look at it in a comprehensive way, it is not without the possibility of trading.

At least in Bobby's mind, this price is barely acceptable. What he has to do now is to convince other senior partners to throw this hot potato out as soon as possible.

Leaving the restaurant, Bobbyli got in the car and quickly left and returned to the hotel.

Now with the video conferencing technology, everyone can talk and have a meeting in all corners of the world. This is also a manifestation of advanced technology.

When he left, the relaxed expression on Xiao Qi's face disappeared.

Since this restaurant is not far from the villa estate area, Xiao Qi didn't take a car and chose to take a walk home. By the way, he could think about it.

Bobby said a lot just now; the pros and cons of repurchase.

But there is one thing that Bobby is right, that is, as long as Xiao Qi intervenes to buy the stock of;, then it means that he needs to keep purchasing until; he returns to Tang Mingxiang's hands again.

That is to say, Green Pine Capital has reached the end of the mountain, otherwise it will be delayed for a year and a half, and Tang Mingxiang must be unable to stabilize it.

However, even with the addition of 25% of Green Pine Capital's shares, Xiao Qi only holds 45%; the shares are far from absolute control.

Xiao Qi's plan is not just as simple as absolute holdings. He wants to give 100% of the total to Tang Mingxiang as a gift to her and his children.

Therefore, what Xiao Qi wants to talk about next is 10% in Amazon's hands and 15% in Blackstone's hands.

The 15% of the Blackstone Group is a little better. Their experience is better than that of Green Pine Capital, but it is not much better, and they also know that the financial turmoil is coming, and they know it in their hearts.

Amazon will have a lot of trouble, because 10% of it was bought when it was valued at 25 billion. The current market value is almost 22 billion U.S. dollars, and it has not lost much, and it loses more than 20 million a month, which is not unacceptable.

But thanks to the subprime mortgage crisis and financial turmoil, Amazon will not be alone. The troubles they face are not small. At least in the two years of 2008 and 2009, they also experienced a plunge and pain.

If Xiao Qi chooses to buy it at a slightly premium during this period of time. It shouldn't be a big problem.

If you can’t talk about 15% of the Blackstone Group now, the next step is to get Citigroup and Turquoise Capital to sign a contract to help conceal it for a period of time. When the financial crisis broke out in September, even the Blackstone Group and Amazon bought it together.

Bayeux Ventures is the largest venture capital firm in Europe. If there is no chance now, it will have to wait until the European debt crisis breaks out next year to see if it can be acquired.

As for the final ITOCHU business. Xiao Qi really didn't have much confidence.

Because Japanese and Chinese have a custom, that is, they don't like to take out the things they get. Even if it is; now that the losses are serious, it may not be easy for them to be softened. Even in the entire repurchase process, the most troublesome thing should be ITOCHU Corporation.

Think about it as a comprehensive trading company. ITOCHU has no major weaknesses at all.

With ITOCHU's business scope and methods, it is not easy to make a fortune, but it is even more difficult to want them to be unlucky.

However, Xiao Qi should be thankful that ITOCHU is a Japanese company. Not a Huaguo company.

Because ITOCHU Corporation is a Japanese company, and Japan does not produce almost any energy, the comprehensive trading companies in their country will almost always involve the energy industry. For example, ITOCHU Corporation has a large number of businesses in petroleum, including oil extraction, refining, and Processing, etc., has been their top priority in the past 20 years.

Compared with Huaguo’s self-sufficiency rate of about 40%, Japan has no energy at all, so its oil reserves are usually scary. Under such storage requirements, major trading companies are not so sensitive to oil prices. However, they all adopt a long-term futures model, and there is no such thing as spot trading.

I mentioned that Japan Airlines is like this. It is the most common thing to buy oil futures eight to nine months in advance.

If you think about it, even Japan Airlines will lose more than tens of billions of dollars. What about ITOCHU, which purchases more than him?

Yes.

More than 50% of ITOCHU’s oil is produced in partnership with others. Then they don’t only sell crude oil, but mostly refined products. The profits are very generous.

This is the most important reason why ITOCHU did not collapse in the financial crisis that began in 2008!

If they were just buying and selling crude oil~www.readwn.com~ there would be no ITOCHU Corporation in this world.

but!

Don't forget, oil extraction and refining and processing also require costs!

When ITOCHU acquires oil, it also counts the profits of the mining country and the cooperative company. Its machinery and refining, personnel salaries, warehousing and logistics, etc., all require considerable costs!

When the price of oil and crude oil rises, these costs are nothing but wait until the price of oil plummets?

From 147 US dollars, 6 months time suddenly dropped to 45 US dollars a barrel, such a huge contrast, who can bear it?

In this case, it is only strange that ITOCHU does not suffer a huge loss!

Therefore, it is the most appropriate time to think of a solution until that time! (To be continued...)
