The ship is more than 95% complete, with only some interior equipment and decoration work remaining.

At the speed of this ship, one month is enough time to sail from Itali to Tokyo. Tao Zhiming insisted on holding the wedding on this ship on October 18, which was more than a month earlier than the time agreed in the contract to arrive in Tokyo.

.

Tao Zhiming did this not just because it was his birthday.

In order to swallow Azimu later, and with the help from the Ouilt royal family, Tao Zhiming's plan can be moved forward...

So after the dinner, Paulo Vitali came to discuss the remaining matters, and Tao Zhiming said: "Add money, I will pay for the extra money."

It's not satisfying to be a layman with extra money. Tao Zhiming said this cheerfully seeing how Paul Vitali was hesitant to talk about the yacht order from Hasar.

If you want to plot against Azimut, you have to give him enough sweetness now.

"Then Prince Hasar's yacht..."

Tao Zhiming smiled slightly: "This is a bit troublesome, because Prince Hasal requested that the two yachts be completed together, and they must be completed by the end of 1991 before the end of the year when His Majesty the King turns 70. Even at Azimut speed,

Isn’t it too strenuous? Even if it’s just a slight improvement on the shape of my yacht, the construction schedule is really too tight.”

"Isn't that only two years and three months?" Paul Vitali asked in a voiceless voice, "Or two ships together?"

Tao Zhiming looked at Hasar helplessly: "So you are making things difficult for me and others."

"This matter is very important, very important!" Hassar just nodded to emphasize this point.

Tao Zhiming looked at Paul Vitali who was gritting his teeth and thinking, smiled and said: "Mr. Paul, even if we temporarily expand production capacity, I'm afraid it will be too late. The best way is to acquire another yacht company.

, directly annexing their production capacity. Considering the large order of 500 million yuan, it should be worthwhile."

"But acquiring a yacht company, how about..." Paul Vitali stopped abruptly, and then looked at Tao Zhiming, "Mr. Tao, you mean..."

"The construction and later operation and maintenance of these two yachts have been entrusted to me. For the sake of payment for trade orders and future business, we can only consider completing this matter as soon as possible." Tao Zhiming looked helpless,

"The fastest way now is for me to sell Bravo Riva to Azimut. Mr. Paul, I ask you to convene the shareholders, not just to discuss the two yacht orders. While I am here,

Let’s talk about the merger and acquisition with Riva.”

Theresa's eyes moved at the side. Is Azimu's plan going to officially begin?

…

When he came to Idali to formally negotiate the order for the Tao Ran, Tao Zhiming stated that he only needed a stable yacht supplier in the future, so he did not exclude Azimut from acquiring Japan VA in the future.

In the past two years, after Japan VA was transferred to Tao Zhiming, it only produced some small and medium-sized yachts specifically for the Asia-Pacific market, and there was little conflict with Azimut.

But now, Tao Zhiming, who already holds 10% of the shares in Azimut, will transfer all of Japan VA’s brand, team, and production capacity to Azimut, which will be a huge sum of money.

Tao Zhiming originally spent 50 million yuan to buy it, but if it were to be transferred to Azimu now, Azimu would have to consider a lot.

First of all, if the production capacity cannot be increased quickly, there will be no way to meet the requirements of the Ouilt royal family. Then, Azimu will have to watch as he can only get an order for one ship at most, and the Japanese VA is now unable to

It can be done independently, but if Riva joins forces with others, it will have a chance. And if this order is obtained by other more powerful competitors, it will be cultivating enemies for Azimut.

Secondly, if Tao Zhiming wants to acquire Japanese VA, even if Tao Zhiming does not reject it, in what way? With a wholly-owned cash acquisition, Tao Zhiming, who already holds the order, will of course raise a higher premium, which may not be tens of millions of dollars or even nearly 100 million.

I can’t get it. This much money is too much for Azimu.

The pressure is too great. The Taoran order is one of the rare high-quality large orders, with timely payment and a short cycle. However, after deducting the capital cost of expanding production capacity, the net profit of this ship is probably less than 30 million yuan.

It was still spread evenly over the three fiscal years of 1987, 1988, and 1989.

Thirdly, if the method of partial cash and partial shares is used, wouldn’t Tao Zhiming’s shareholding ratio in Azimut exceed 30%? Then his right to speak would be too heavy. Other shareholders of Azimut will definitely

Dilemma.

In the end, Tao Zhiming was entrusted by the Ouilt royal family to get this order based on his friendship with Hasar. But what if something happens to the Ouilt royal family and there is a problem with the project? What should Tao do?

Zhi Ming himself is just an intermediary. The payment of funds for the next two yacht orders will definitely not be as smooth as the previous one, and the risks have to be considered.

Tao Zhiming brought up this new situation. Naturally, Hasal came here not just to visit the new yacht, but also to encourage others. He plausibly emphasized that the budget for the yacht was absolutely sufficient and timely, because this was

The royal family specially prepared it to celebrate His Majesty the King's 70th birthday.

As a result, Azimut's shareholders were in a dilemma. They could not accept this super large order with a higher unit price than Tao Zhiming's yacht, but they also felt heavy financial pressure.

The key is that time waits for no one. For a yacht of this level, if the construction period is compressed by another two or three months, there is indeed time to do it. But if it is delayed for several more months due to negotiations, it will never be possible.

"...I originally thought that building a boat would be a matter of sufficient funds, but I saw that his boat could be built faster than others." Hassar looked like an innocent playboy, "I only told Bravo today.

, the yacht I want must be delivered in advance."

Tao Zhiming had a helpless look on his face, and his expression seemed to tell everyone: You have all seen that it is not me who is unreliable, but these wealthy people who think money is everything.

This is indeed the style of the Ouilt royal family. It is too easy to sell oil mining rights and get dividends.

Seeing that Paul Vitali and others looked troubled, Tao Zhiming said: "If there is a new order, it should be easy to get a loan, right? I don't need to hold many shares in Azimut, but the relationship between these two yachts is

The payment for the trade order between me and the Ouilt royal family is due, so the progress needs to be guaranteed no matter what."

Paul Vitali looked at him and asked: "So Mr. Tao, if you want to acquire Japan VA, what is your expectation on the acquisition price?"

Tao Zhiming complained to Hasal: "If it hadn't been for this trouble, I would have continued to make steady money over there, and the market was still opening up. I finally brought the yachting trend to Neon!"

Hassar just grinned.

After Tao Zhiming finished pretending to complain, he said to Paul Vitali: "I bought it for 50 million yuan. For the yacht business, I invested more than 2 billion yuan to build a yacht home port in Tokyo. I also bought it through BravoSport

Golf and yachts have opened up the market for high-end sports. I finally laid the foundation, but now I really don’t want to sell it. Even if it’s 100 million yuan, it’s not as good as my expected future income. At this price, I still have to compete with the Japanese VA

Discuss with another shareholder."

"..." Paul Vitali thought it was true, but after Tao Zhiming took over Japan VA, its development momentum has been very good in the past two years. He has a lot of resources in Neon, Xiangdao and the United States, and with the help of Neon

With the rapid economic development, Japan's VA sales revenue has more than doubled every year, although the main

The order was still placed by his BravoSport, left hand and right hand. But the research report from Neon Market shows that BravoSport has indeed opened up a large market in the Asia-Pacific, and it is not just a yacht rental service held by BravoSport.

After hearing the price quote of 100 million yuan, and it seemed that he was doing it out of necessity for the Ouilt royal family's order, Azimut's shareholders fell silent.

With Azimut's current size, the valuation should be less than 300 million. The pressure to allocate so much funds for mergers and acquisitions and expansion at once is too great. Yacht manufacturing, after all, has a long cycle and requires a relatively large investment.

, an industry that is very capital-intensive, human-technical-intensive.

If it is a loan of 100 million yuan to complete the acquisition, how much will the annual capital cost be?

After the acquisition is completed, it still needs to be invested in the construction of the two yachts in advance. Although there will definitely be a first payment, but to put it bluntly, compared to starting the construction of two super yachts at the same time, Azimut needs to prepare that little money.

Compared with construction funds, how big of a problem can be solved?

During this shareholders meeting, Teresa remained silent.

When Tao Zhiming became a shareholder of Azimut, it was only through the Betty family's transfer of part of their shares that it became possible.

But this time, the Betty family cannot continue to do this. Their remaining shares are not enough, and they have already brought a huge customer to Azimut, so it is appropriate to expand their voice.

Hassar coughed and then said: "Because it is indeed the latest resolution discussed by everyone in the royal family. Now I also understand that this will bring a lot of variables. In this way, I can convince brother Walid to go through his bank

Get a loan from Azimu, and the interest will be as favorable as possible. The amount... should be no less than 20 million yuan."

Tao Zhiming also said: "I can introduce a few banks over there in Neon."

As soon as the two sang in harmony, Azimut's shareholders looked at each other.

Tao Zhiming simply said: "Don't you think this is some kind of conspiracy against you, Azimut? If you don't trust us, we are also known as Azimut's creditors, then increase the capital proportionally through the shareholders, or trust you

Any other financing channels are fine. Today we just need to confirm whether Azimut can accept this order. If not, or if it can only accept one unit, then I have to contact other manufacturers quickly."

After more than two years, Tao Zhiming has proven his strength with his straightforward payment attitude and solid orders. It is obvious to all that he has single-handedly driven the rapid growth of Japanese VA.

Azimut's shareholders really can't bear to part with this piece of fat.

The Ouilt royal family is extravagant in style and very willing to spend money. In order to congratulate His Majesty the King on his 70th birthday, the royal family should have the highest priority, right?

Due to various factors, Azimut's shareholders finally decided to purchase 15% of the shares for 40 million yuan, plus 55 million yuan in cash.

The 15% of the shares that were obtained for free belong to me.

That's right, after Tao Zhiming made a phone call on the spot and promised that the 15% of the shares would still be held by him in proportion to the daily VA, the price of 95 million yuan was decided.

The person Tao Zhiming was talking to on the phone was obviously Tao Yaren, and this strategy had already been discussed with Tao Yaren when they met in Tokyo.

Tao Yaren got the Japanese VA in the form of Tao Zhiming's loan to him. Now, the Japanese VA has not only made more than two years of money, but he also has shares in what will become the world's top yacht manufacturing group and received 55 million yuan.

After repaying Tao Zhiming's loan, there is still a balance left, so how can it be considered worthwhile?

With the integration of Japanese VA, Azimut's profit dividend scale will be much larger in the next year.

Therefore, even though Tao Yaren knew that Tao Zhiming had pushed forward the news of the yacht order of the Ouilt royal family to this occasion, they only thought that Tao Zhiming was trying to pressure the seller to get a better price on the spot, and did not expect that he had actually negotiated with him.

The royal family of Ouilt conspired together to this extent.

What's more, he also worked together on Tao Zhiming's suggestion and laid other foreshadowings to make more money from this matter.

All in all, the Ouilt royal family's unreliable style in luxury goods has been quite successful.

After Tao Zhiming and Hasal signed the agreement of intent with Azimut, he said: "It is right not to increase capital. After the construction of these two yachts progresses smoothly, Azimut should consider listing it.

The valuation will definitely increase several times. The next step is to raise funds as soon as possible. I still say the same thing, if you are considering Neon's bank, if you need my help, just ask. I only have one request: the yacht must be completed on schedule.

"

"Mr. Tao, please rest assured. With the experience of building BravoPalae this time, we are sure of the progress."
