Rebirth of the Evil Life

Invest in the Monaco Club?

Rybonovev was stunned. This was a bit beyond his expectation. He didn't expect Lin Feng to invite him to join the Monaco Football Club.

"What? Is Mr. Rybonovlev not interested?" Lin Feng wondered about Rybonovlev's reaction.

"Hehe, that's not the case. I am very interested in investing. In fact, I am also willing to invest to expand my popularity. But there is a problem at the moment, that is, I don't have so much cash. Now all of my The cash is in Russia and used to develop Russia's first hybrid car. I don't have that much money to invest in football." Rybonovlev sighed helplessly.

"To be honest, my capital is mainly in the Ural Potash Company. Although this company is very profitable and has high profits, the profits that it brings every year are used by me to invest in my car company." I am embarrassed to say.

"Look, Trina will be living soon, I haven't thought about what gift to give her!" Rybonovlev sighed softly, "I wanted to give her the best adult gift. It's a pity that I can't do it now!"

Lin Feng frowned slightly. This sounds a little weird. Rybonovlev's words are a little bit interesting. What does he want to say?

"Mr. Rybonovlev, do you mean...?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.

"Hehe, it's like this. I know Mr. Lin is a very patriotic man, and China is the world's largest demander of potash fertilizer. The potash fertilizer of Ural Potash under my company is not only high-quality, but also cheap, and compared to Canadian potash companies. , I also have a geographical advantage. So, Mr. Lin, are you interested in acquiring all the shares in the Ural Potash Company in my hand?" Rybonovlev threw out a word that shocked Lin Feng to the point of speechlessness.

Sell ​​Ural Potash Company? This is really amazing!

"Uh, Lei... Mr. Leibonovev. Please forgive me to ask again. You just said that you want to sell me Ural Potash Company?" Lin Feng was really shivering at this moment. This is too exaggerated and too much. It's speechless. This Ural Potash Company has a net profit of US$3 billion a year. He just sold it to himself, and no one would sell it.

"Hehe, it's like this. I bought Ural Potash Company at the time. It was just because it was worth investing. Over the past ten years, I have indeed contributed a lot of funds, but my ambition is not here. I am really interested in cars. I want to be a Russian car tycoon. So, if I have the opportunity, I am willing to sell the Ural Potash Company to the right person in exchange for sufficient funds to develop the automobile industry that I am interested in." Rybonovlev Said with a smile.

Ural Potash Company is nothing but a profit resource that Rybonovev robbed in the turbulent era in Russia. Actually. For Ural Potash Company, he has no interest at all. This can be explained from the fact that Rybonovlev has only visited the Ural Potash Company three times in the past ten years. Of course, even if you don't like it. But Ural Potash Company is indeed a lucrative company, and he will never sell it cheaply. As for wanting to sell to Lin Feng this time, it is very simple, because he thinks this time will be a good time to sell Ural Potash Company at a high price.

He owns more than half of the shares in Ural Potash Corporation. Although Ural Potash Company is not currently listed, it is based on the annual profit rate of Ural Potash. As well as the demand for potash fertilizer in the Chinese market, Rybonolev believes that more than half of his shares can be sold for US$15-18 billion! His net worth will also swell here because of this transaction.

As for whether Lin Feng will buy it, he believes that this is by no means a problem. It is impossible for Lin Feng not to buy it. Potash fertilizer is too important to Chinese agriculture. Even if Lin Feng didn't buy it, the Chinese government would buy it. This opportunity is rare. If you miss this time, there will be no next time.

Lin Feng was naturally tempted at this moment. This opportunity is a rare one. Although I don’t have enough funds, I can use the ‘Second Bank’ to raise funds. Moreover, I believe that as long as you talk to the country about this matter, the country will absolutely support it, no matter how much money it will agree. Therefore, money is never a problem.

It's just that Lin Feng is still a little doubtful why Rybonovev wants to sell Ural Potash Company. You know, potash is a real profiteering industry. At present, the world’s major potash companies have established two major alliances, namely bpc (Belarusian Potash Alliance) established by Ural Potash Company and Belarusian Potash Company, and North America formed by Canadian Potash Company, Canada Jiayang Company and American-Canadian joint venture Mason Company. Potash Alliance.

The two major alliance companies occupy two-thirds of the market, form an absolute monopoly on potash fertilizer, control prices, and enjoy the era of huge profits. Why did Rybonovlev sell such a lucrative industry? This doesn't make sense!

"Mr. Rybonolev, I am indeed very interested in Ural Potash Company, but I have two questions. First, will Putin agree? Second, how much is the price?" Lin Feng asked.

"Hehe, on the first point, it's very simple. I will personally talk to President Putin, and Mr. Lin has a close relationship with President Putin. I believe President Putin shouldn't mind. As for the price, I intend to sell it for $18 billion!" Rybonovlev said the lion loudly. Although his psychological price is 15 billion US dollars, but now that Lin Feng is such a good buyer, he naturally wants the lion to open his mouth.

$18 billion! Lin Feng calculated that based on the current Ural potash profit, it would take at least 12 years to recover the cost of investing this money. It will take about 20 years to calculate the relevant interest. After 20 years, it will start to make money. From this rate of return on investment, the price is not too high. But one of the issues that needs to be explored is whether the profit of potash fertilizer will continue to be so profitable. This is what people need to care about.

Potash fertilizer is a huge profit now, but will it continue to be a huge profit in the next 20 years? Of course, this price can be negotiated, 18 billion U.S. dollars, this is the price offered by Rybonovlev, which does not mean that Lin Feng must accept it. Bargaining is the basic quality of businessmen when negotiating.

"Mr. Rybonovlev, let me think about the acquisition. In this way, I will stay in Monaco for three days and let me think about it." Lin Feng said in a deep voice.

"Then say so. These three days, I will have fun in Monaco, this beautiful country, and wait for Mr. Lin's good news in three days." Rybonovlev smiled and nodded. He had already seen the purchaser from Lin Feng's eyes. Not surprisingly, in three days, the two parties should reach an agreement. The only difference lies in the final purchase price. And this is not a big problem for Rybonovlev.

US$18 billion was just the price he offered casually, and he was very satisfied if he could eventually reach US$12 billion. He can accept more than 10 billion US dollars. As for Lin Feng's invitation to join the Monaco club, he will be very happy no matter how he joins. As long as he has money, he is very willing to make money. Compared with the fun of making money, he enjoys the fun of money more.

Three days later, Lin Feng and Rybonovev met again.

"Rybonolev, regarding Ural Potash Company, I am willing to buy it, but the price is too high." Lin Feng said with a smile, "The profit of Ural Potash Company is indeed amazing, but after these three days, my It is understood that although potash companies are still profitable industries, with the investment of potash fertilizers from various countries, many small companies are vying for this market. It is very likely that in the future, the potash market will fall into a predicament, and perhaps this monopolistic alliance will become so. And break."

Regarding this speculation, Lin Feng just said nonsense. Of course, it is not purely nonsense, because in 2008, there will be an unprecedented world financial crisis, when the world economy will stagnate and global commodity trading will be restricted. Although potash is an agricultural product, it is affected by the entire financial crisis. Will be severely affected. After all, you produce so many agricultural products, there must always be buyers. Under the financial crisis, the consumption level of all people will decline, which will naturally endanger agricultural products. Potash fertilizer will also be affected. Moreover, the huge profits of monopoly over the years have caused many small potash fertilizer companies to seek breakthroughs. Under the financial crisis, there will be a breakthrough.

Therefore, Lin Feng would never offer such a high price. Any acquisition before the financial crisis must be cautious and carefully evaluated its transaction risks and the profit return that it may bring to itself in the future.

Rybonovev remained silent, but he was secretly surprised. He doesn't know what the financial crisis is, but he knows one thing, that is, the two major alliances of potash companies are now increasingly conflicting. Because before, the potash fertilizers produced by both parties were sold in a unified manner by their respective alliances. This will naturally bring injustice in the distribution of profits. In particular, several major potash companies, such as his Ural Potash Company and Canadian Potash Company, have a 20% market share and a 24% market share. Together, the two companies have nearly half of the global market share. And its product quality is also the best, but the profit is not so high. Merchants chase profits! No one wants to make more money.

There are signs of division, and the world will inevitably be in chaos. Therefore, Rybonovev didn't want to have a headache in the future, so he chose to sell and cash out in time.

"Mr. Lin, how much do you bid?" Rybonovlev asked.

"Hehe, 8 billion U.S. dollars! This is a very suitable value for Ural Potash Company at present!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

Rybonovev frowned. The price is too low! Moreover, Lin Feng's counter-offer paid more than half of the price. This is when buying clothes!
