Chapter 2133 as long as money
Chapter 2133 Just money
"Luther, I can offer 6 billion US dollars. But I can only have 1.5 billion US dollars in cash, and the rest will be replaced by Sony shares." Stringer thought about it and decided to reach an agreement with Luther first, and then convene the board of directors to discuss the detailed acquisition plan.
.But this 6 billion US dollars is already the limit. It cannot be more.
6 billion US dollars, and only 1.5 billion US dollars in cash. After paying off the debt, there will only be 400 million US dollars left. Although it is enough for them to squander for a while, what will they eat after the squandering? Although there is still 4.5 billion US dollars.
US dollars in Sony shares, but Sony's profits are not as stable as Carl Zeiss. Even though the three Abbe brothers are called Abbe three scumbags, they still know some basic financial common sense.
Fortunately, for the three Abbey brothers, they don't have to reach an agreement with Sony. All they want is more profits.
"Mr. Lin, Sony is offering US$6 billion. If there is no better offer, we have decided to sell our Carl Zeiss shares to Sony." Luther's eyes showed naked greed.
Lin Feng shook his head repeatedly. The three Abe brothers are indeed the "Abe three scumbags". Do they negotiate like this? Although this can get the maximum profit, there is no doubt that both parties will be offended after the transaction. What if something happens in the future?
If the matter falls into his or Sony's hands, then he should be punished to death. In this regard, Lin Feng can only sigh that people die for money and birds die for food. But this is too idiotic.
Not only did Lin Feng think the three Abe brothers were idiots, but Stringer was also shocked and speechless by Luther's behavior. Damn it, he thought he was being taken advantage of. Or in front of him, this is what he saw
Do you know your own IQ or don't take yourself seriously? I secretly vowed in my heart that I will punish these three brothers if I have the opportunity in the future.
However, at this time, the three Abe brothers were completely unaware that they had completely offended Lin Feng and Stringer. Instead, they felt that they could gain more profits this way, and they were complacent and indescribably proud.
"5 billion US dollars in cash, plus this gambling debt." Lin Feng is not stupid, and naturally understands that Sony will never be able to give 6 billion US dollars in cash to the three Abbey brothers. Therefore, of the 6 billion US dollars, many of them must be shares.
The three Abe brothers are obviously unwilling to ask for shares. Shares are a very mysterious thing.
6.1 billion U.S. dollars? The three Abei brothers silently calculated that Lin Feng was only willing to pay an extra 100 million U.S. dollars. Is this amusement for them? However, they did not dare to fall out with Lin Feng at this moment, at least this was not an extra 100 million U.S. dollars.
Yes, and it's cash, which is much more cost-effective than Stringer's shares.
"Mr. Stringer, Mr. Lin has now offered 6.1 billion US dollars, and it's all in cash. I hope you can show some sincerity!" Luther threatened vaguely.
Stringer held down the volume of the microphone and cursed. He had participated in countless negotiations and conducted countless acquisitions, but he had never seen acquisition negotiations like this. Damn, he was in a meeting. Then he suddenly received a call from Luther,
He suddenly said that he wanted to sell the shares, and he suddenly wanted to bid with Lin Feng. He also bid directly over the phone, and they were such idiots for the auction. Stringer went crazy.
After cursing alone in his office for five minutes, Stringer turned down the microphone.
"Luther, we are old friends. You should know that I can be trusted. But Lin Feng is a white-eyed wolf and cannot be trusted." Stringer began to slander Lin Feng. There is no way, Sony is not that kind
How much money do you have to compete with Lin Feng? This guy has more money than the entire Sony. How can Sony compete? They can only save the country through curveballs, get close, and build friendships.
Holding back the nausea and anger in his heart, Stringer kept using various beautiful words to praise the great glory of the ancestors of the three Abe brothers and recalled the beautiful scenes of previous cooperation between the two parties.
"Dear Luther..." At this point, Stringer trembled all over. This word was so disgusting. "I want you to understand that if you sell your equity to me, Carl Zeiss will live up to you."
My grandfather’s efforts and expectations when he founded the company, and under the leadership of our Sony, Carl Zeiss will always be the leading company in the global optical industry. As for Lin Feng, he has never been involved in this industry. If you sell him the shares, it will just
Waste the hard work of our ancestors."
Listening to Stringer's words, Luther even dozed off. For him, all these past glory and past favors were of no use. The most real thing was the U.S. dollar.
"Mr. Stringer, how much is your company willing to pay to acquire the shares held by our three brothers? I'm still waiting for your offer to consider whether I should agree to Mr. Lin's offer or reconsider your company's offer." Luther
To put it very bluntly.
When Stringer heard this, he was so angry that he vomited blood. Why is this man so white-eyed? It's all in vain that he said that so many parents are immoral. This girl is a white-eyed wolf. Lin Feng listened to it and it was funny. How many people like Luther?
What a treasure. The easiest way to negotiate with this kind of people is to throw money at them. They just like money and don't like other things. When you talk about favors and honors with them, it's all about talking to them.
"US$6.2 billion! US$1.5 billion in cash, US$4.7 billion in stocks." Stringer gritted his teeth.
Luther's face twitched and he couldn't help but muttered.
"Mr. Stringer, you are just buying a side dish. You only need to add US$100 million, and it is all stocks. Compared with Lin Feng, this is too insincere." Luther muttered dissatisfied.
Stringer was so angry that he trembled. It was only 100 million, which was already a lot. If it weren't for Lin Feng, let alone the 100 million, he wouldn't even give it 6 billion. Also, Lin Feng
Didn’t we just add 100 million?
"Mr. Lin, now that Mr. Stringer has offered a price of US$6.2 billion, what do you think?" Luther said with great anticipation, with the attitude that 100 million more is 100 million more.
"$5.2 billion in cash, plus these debts, this is my limit. If it's more, you can sell it to Sony. But let me remind you, this is all cash, not shares. Stocks can rise or fall.
It will fall. If Sony deliberately releases false news when you want to cash out, causing the stock market to plummet, you will lose a lot of money." Lin Feng reminded lazily.
The three Abe brothers took a breath after hearing this. If they get the shares, if nothing else happens, they will definitely sell them. They are not investors. The only thing they care about is cash. They want to enjoy life, not for it.
Life is busy. In this way, Lin Feng's cash is still more attractive. Of course, Luther will not decide to sell to Lin Feng. He will also ask Stringer to see how much money Sony can offer.
"Luthor, please wait a moment. I need to hold a shareholders' meeting with the company to discuss this." Stringer said with a frown.
"Okay, I'll give you 10 minutes." Luther looked at his watch.
"What? 10 minutes, Luther, do you think this is child's play? This is a multi-billion dollar case. It will take at least 3 hours." Stringer yelled.
"We don't have that much time. 30 minutes at most. If it takes more than 30 minutes, we will sell it to Lin Feng." Luther didn't care about this. He didn't want to wait forever. Human life is limited, and he didn't want to waste it on
While waiting, his life should be full of joy and enjoyment.
Although Stringer was angry, he had no choice but to agree at this moment. Who let him meet such a white-eyed wolf like Luther? Quickly, Stringer immediately convened an emergency shareholder meeting of Sony to explain the seriousness of this matter.
"Everyone, if Lin Feng acquires Carl Zeiss, our digital cameras will be constrained by it. My personal opinion is to acquire 70% of the shares of the three Abbe brothers and make them a subsidiary of our Sony. At present, Lin Feng
The quoted price is US$6.2 billion in cash. We must come up with enough chips to impress the three Abbey brothers," Stringer said beguilingly.
In his opinion, it would be great if Sony could take the opportunity to acquire Carl Zeiss. Although it is a bit painful to spend so much money at one time. But in the long run, the money will be earned. But obviously, Sony
Not all employees within the company agreed with the acquisition of Carl Zeiss as Stringer thought. After all, a company with an annual turnover of just over 2 billion US dollars had to spend more than 6 billion US dollars to acquire only 70% of the shares.
, this is really not cost-effective.
During the discussion at Sony, Lin Feng was not idle. He called Soros and asked him to take a little action in the Japanese stock market to attack Sony.
Thirty minutes later, Sony's answer was US$6.5 billion, including US$1.2 billion in cash and US$5.3 billion in Sony shares. It also required that the US$5.3 billion in shares not be sold within six months. Otherwise, it would be directly sold if it was sold rashly.
It affects Sony's stock price and brings a lot of trouble.
This offer is 300 million more than Lin Feng's offer, but it only has 1.2 billion US dollars in cash. After repaying the 1.1 billion US dollars in loans, there will only be 100 million US dollars in cash left. This leaves the three Abbey brothers, who have always been profligate, how to spend their money.
"Mr. Stringer, Sony has disappointed me so much. This offer is so insincere. You have to know that I want as much cash as possible, not stocks. It seems that I can only accept Mr. Lin's offer.
"Luthor said disappointedly.
"Luther, you have to understand that although we don't give you so much cash now, stocks are more valuable than cash. If you really wait for the money, you can wait until half a year to sell it. I believe that at that time
The stock price is much higher than it is now. If you don't wait for the money to be used, you can earn interest every year. This is far more cost-effective than selling your shares." Stringer was anxious and explained quickly.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Stringer, we only want cash, not stocks. And we just saw that Sony's stock price just fell, and last year's profit was only 23.1 billion yen. It was only more than 200 million U.S. dollars. According to dividends,
We can only get less than 30 million US dollars for the 5.3 billion US dollars. This is not as good as Carl Zeiss's dividend. What's more, Sony's stock price has been falling." Luther said coldly.
Stringer was in a hurry. He wanted to say something, but Luther had already hung up the phone.
"Mr. Lin, I think we can make a deal." Luther said with a flattering look. As long as he signs, the $5.1 billion in cash will belong to the three brothers. This is good, very good.
"What should I do?" Stringer looked angry.
