The Son of Finance of the Great Age

  Chapter 738 Trip to Europe (11)

   "You didn't do anything to my precious granddaughter, did you?"

  Amancio Ortega stared at Zhong Shi with anger on his face and said viciously, "If you dare to touch a single hair of her, I guarantee you won't be able to walk out of this room!"

   "I would like to, but Miss Hurtfanny won't give me this chance!"

Zhong Shi was unmoved, spread his hands, and shrugged, "Facing such a beautiful lady, frankly speaking, it is impossible not to be tempted. But Miss Ortega doesn't seem to like my type very much, so come to I don't even stand a chance right now, do I, Miss Ortega?"

Hurtfani, who was sitting next to Amancio Ortega, put on a tight dress today, with an Hermès light red silk scarf around her neck, she is a lady without revealing any flesh Fan. When she saw Zhong Shi's meaningful gaze, she couldn't help but blushed and lowered her head shyly.

   "Women are born movie kings!"

Zhong Shi tried his best to make himself look very frivolous, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "I have seen her whole body, but now she can pretend to be beautiful and shy. A grotesque thing."

"yes?"

Amancio looked suspiciously at Zhongshi and Hetfanni several times, but he didn't find any evil intentions in their hearts. After a while, he let out a sigh of relief, and said to Zhongshi, "Now, we Let’s talk about investing in shares?”

   Zhong Shi's image of a disciple made him a little unhappy, but he was somewhat complacent about his granddaughter's charm, so he even spoke to Zhong Shi in a negotiating tone.

  This is the office of Inditex Group in Madrid. It is very simple, with white walls and black tables, and some necessary office equipment, but there is no special decoration. It can be seen from the dress here, the simple style of Inditex Group.

  Amancio Ortega is 70 years old this year. The top of his head has already shown a typical Mediterranean style, and the only remaining hair is half white. However, there are not many wrinkles on his face, and his spirit is also very good, without the twilight state of an ancient and rare old man at all. This old man with a strong desire for control is still the helm and largest shareholder of the Inditex Group until now. He holds 59% of the shares and has no intention of retiring at all. Two days ago, he personally flew to the Milan Fashion Show.

"no problem!"

Zhong Shi looked away from Hetfanni, and immediately changed from lustful and greedy to serious and serious, "Our preliminary plan is to acquire 9.9% of the shares of Inditex Group, because no matter how many shares there are, more information must be disclosed. Information, this is something we don't want to see. How is the ratio Mr. Ortega willing?"

Amancio Ortega is a person with a strong desire for control. He still holds 59% of the shares until now. Even if other shareholders in the market unite, he will not be able to shake his position at all. It is impossible for Zhong Shi to get more equity from him. After discussing with the researchers at the headquarters, Zhong Shi decided to acquire 9.9% of the shares of Inditex Group.

   "9.9%?"

Upon hearing this number, Amancio immediately calculated in his heart. Excluding this part of the shares, his shareholding will drop to 49.1%, which will not form an absolute holding. There is a slight possibility that he will be kicked out of the chairman in the future The throne, which made him hesitate.

But what Zhong Shi said is indeed true. The 9.9% shareholding has to be said to be a great sincerity. Just as Zhong Shi said, the Spanish securities law stipulates that more information must be disclosed if it exceeds this share. This is similar to that of the United States, so in this transaction, Amancio must also consider the other party's position and concerns.

   "How about 8.9%?"

  After much deliberation, Amancio still couldn't let go of the obsession in his heart, "In this way, I still have 50.1% of the shares on hand, which can form an absolute controlling right. Mr. Zhong, this is very important to me!"

   "Absolute controlling interest?"

  Zhong Shi smiled nonchalantly, "I don't mind this, but Mr. Ortega, are you sure that if only selling this share can really solve the current financial crisis of the Inditex Group?"

"This…"

  Amancio hesitated immediately, and said in an uncertain tone after a while, "I can still sell a part of the store, it should be enough!"

  In any case, he does not intend to give up absolute control.

   "Does this look good to you?"

Seeing the other party's stubbornness, Zhong Shi couldn't help but secretly sighed, and switched to the second plan, "The shares we want are still 9.9%. After all, we are very optimistic about the fast-moving consumer industry and Zara's sales model, but We will donate the voting rights of this part of the equity to you to guarantee your absolute control. In other words, we only collect equity income and do not interfere with the operation and management of the Inditex Group. How about Mr. Ortega’s intention?”

  In fact, this 1% stake is nothing to Zhong Shi, but it is very important to Amancio. In order to get more benefits, Zhong Shi can only give up voting rights.

   This has to be said to be a good suggestion. For Amancio Ortega, he can completely achieve his intention of absolute control, and at the same time, Zhongshi has also obtained what he wants. But all of this is based on the premise that Inditex Group will turn losses into profits and go up, otherwise Zhongshi's current suggestion is simply disastrous.

   "There is one more point, at least three years holding shares!"

  Amancio is so shrewd. As soon as he heard Zhong Shi's suggestion, he realized that the other party was very optimistic about the prospects of Inditex Group, and even gave up his right to speak. From his side, this must be a huge benefit. But as Zhong Shi considered, if Inditex Group’s performance deteriorates, Zhong Shi’s shares are very likely to be sold soon, which may make his absolute shares below 50%, so he simply locked up this part of the equity first. "In addition, if you want to sell this part of the equity after three years, I have a limited right to buy 1% of the equity, how about it?"

"certainly!"

After lowering his head and discussing with Jiang Shan for a few minutes, when Zhong Shi raised his head again, he agreed directly without any hesitation, "The voting rights of this part of the shares in my hands will be transferred to Mr. Amancio Ortega for free. , the lock-up period for this part of the equity is three years, and if it is sold after three years, at least 1% of the equity will be sold to you first, is that right?"

   "Yes, that's right!"

Amancio couldn't help but began to despise Zhong Shi secretly in his heart. It seems that this little guy is still a little tender, and he agreed so easily, "There is no time limit for the transfer of voting rights. In your hands, the right to vote has to be transferred to me for free.”

   he added.

"no problem!"

  Zhong Shi still readily agreed, but to the surprise of Amancio at the next moment, Zhong Shi resolutely fought back, "Now, let's talk about the price and see what kind of price is suitable for such harsh conditions?"

   "Ahem..."

Amancio Ortega, who was drinking from a glass of water, suddenly choked when he heard this, and started to cough violently. Hetfani beat his back quickly, and it took him a while to breathe. Pointing to his own ear, he looked at Zhong Shi in disbelief, "Sorry, Mr. Zhong, what did you just say? Could it be that I misheard something?"

   "You heard me right, I'm talking about the price!"

Zhong Shi looked at Amancio Ortega leisurely, "With so many harsh conditions in the early stage, you should also understand that it is impossible for us to buy the equity in your hand at the market price, otherwise what would I be? A fool? "

  His expression was half a smile, and a pair of eyes looked at Amancio meaningfully, as if he was laughing at the other party, and he seemed to be secretly complacent.

   "Sure enough, it's not that simple!"

  Amancio Ortega sighed secretly, wailing in his heart. Sure enough, the other party was not easy to deal with, and he underestimated him. But thinking about it, he was relieved. If it was Yi Yuzhi's generation, Zhong Shi would not have created such a huge family business in just a dozen years.

   "What price do you want to buy?"

  Amancio's face was ugly, so gloomy that he almost dripped water. At this time, his weakness was also pinched by Zhongshi, and it was the most critical weakness, that is, he could not do without Zhongshi's funds.

   "The current market price, another 5% reduction, this is our offer!"

Zhong Shi said calmly, "We have preliminarily estimated the asset status of Inditex Group. Your current operating conditions, cash flow and liabilities cannot support the current stock price at all. Don't refute, our analysis is supported by our theory , you will know this part later. Frankly speaking, even with a 5% reduction, your stock price cannot reflect the real asset situation, but we are willing to make concessions!"

   "Are you crazy?"

Amancio was obviously irritated by Zhong Shi. As soon as Zhong Shi's words fell, he jumped out impatiently, pointed at Zhong Shi's nose and said, "Do you know what you are doing? Do you know what you are doing? Damn it Yes, we are not making this deal, please leave, immediately!"

   "Sorry to interrupt your time!"

  Zhong Shi's face also pulled down in an instant, and he responded unceremoniously, then he slapped suddenly, closed the notebook, stood up and walked outside.

   The negotiation collapsed in an instant!

  Jiang Shan and Hetfanni looked at each other in blank dismay, and they didn't react for a while. When they came back to their senses, Zhong Shi had almost walked to the door of the meeting room.

"and many more…"

   Just as Jiang Shan was frantically packing up the documents on the table and preparing to chase them out, Amancio Ortega unexpectedly asked, "Can't the price be raised a bit?"

   After all, he gave in!

Zhong Shi's footsteps stopped immediately, and he turned around and looked at Amancio Ortega with a half-smile, and said slowly: "It seems that you are still willing to make this deal, what a stubborn old man But what I can tell you is that I will never add a penny, and I have my reasons."

   "Oh? What's your reason?"

Faced with Zhong Shi's refusal once again, Amancio Ortega not only did not fly into a rage, but looked at Zhong Shi with interest, looking forward to it, "If you can convince me, I don't mind using this The price is transferred to you!"

   "Fame!"

Zhong Shi pointed to his face and said arrogantly, "Just because of my appearance in Madrid and Inditex Group, your stock price has been sought after from all over the world. Don't deny it, if you don't believe it, you can try it. In addition, once Tianyu Fund takes a stake in Inditex Group, the market's opinion on Inditex Group will definitely reverse immediately. The current downward trend will stop, the prospects are promising, investors will buy, and you can also raise more funds. The situation will collapse on its own, it's all... thanks to my face!"

   "You compare yourself to Buffett?"

Amancio Ortega's face twitched slightly, and he said teasingly, "I heard that during the financial crisis, the entire investment bank in the United States begged Buffett to take action. Now that you behave like this, it reminds me of Buffett, young man, Don't be too crazy to be a man!"

   "Buffett?"

Zhong Shi sneered and said, "He is indeed a big man, but in comparison, I, Zhong Shi, are not inferior at all. Don't tell me you didn't plan to take advantage of my fame from the beginning to the end? Everyone is a smart person, so don't plan to What are you hiding, I have read the newspapers for the past two days!"

  Amancio Ortega was silent for a long time, and finally nodded, "Deal!"

  He admitted indirectly that he once used the trick of Zhong Shi's fame!

   Thanks to the book friend Yu 0458 who slipped through the net, and the spring came and the flowers bloomed and voted for the monthly ticket! Thanks to the book friend Electromagnetist for the reward! Thank you very much for the strong support of all book friends. Your support has given the author a lot of motivation.
