Gao Jin left Radford Law Firm, and Hyde Hill didn't charge a penny. He needed to research these five mechanical research institutes and get a reply to Gao Jin within two days.
The EU's regulations on foreign investment acquisitions within the region are not just ordinary, but very numerous and very troublesome.
Especially for non-ally countries, the control is even stricter.
Lawyers are a high-income profession, and this has a lot to do with your winning rate. For someone like Hyde Hill, successfully facilitating an acquisition is also a victory.
As age increases, the winning rate increases bit by bit, and the income naturally increases.
If your winning rate cannot keep up, your income will only decrease but not your height. The gap between the rich and the poor in the legal industry is wider than outsiders imagine.
Only one day had passed, and Haider Hill went to the hotel to visit Gao Jin, had a detailed discussion with Gao Jin, and accepted Gao Jin's commission.
The two returned to Rundefeng Law Firm together and signed a formal agreement. Gao Jin transferred 20 million euros as a deposit, and finally settled at the actual transaction price.
Of course, the total purchase price of the five research institutes must not exceed 33 million euros, and Gao Jin also has an evaluation of these five research institutes.
The law firm's fee was 3 million euros, and Gao Jin paid it directly, which was very satisfying.
In order to obtain government approval for this matter, a law firm must come forward to carry out the activities. This is also due to the fact that Xingling Group does not have a Chinese state-owned background.
If so, Heideshier could only refuse this commission and have a state-owned enterprise acquire the German research institute, which would have no hope at all.
The next step is to wait.
Gao Jin could not wait here in Hamburg forever. Instead, he asked Cook to apply for a visa through the company and travel to other cities in Germany.
Extending a visa is very difficult for ordinary people, but for a large company like Nancy Security Company, it is a very simple matter, and you can make a fortune by solving it, so why not do it.
After traveling for five days, Cook asked Gao Jin if he needed an escort, but Gao Jin flatly refused. It was enough to experience this kind of thing once in a while.
Cook smiled and said nothing more, secretly admiring Gao Jin's determination.
Cook has also served rich people from China in the past. Once he experienced escorting once, it didn't take long for him to experience it a second time or even a third time.
Some people are even hospitalized because of playing too much poker. Gao Jin can control his desires at a young age, which is obviously different from ordinary people. He is worthy of being a powerful entrepreneur in China.
Gao Jin's information has been investigated in detail by Nancy Security Company, including Gao Yuande's information.
Five-star customers are divided into four levels: s, a, b, and c. Advanced levels rise directly to level a. All five-star customers who can enter level a.
They all belong to the world's richest people. This is the rating of Nancy Security Company.
If you want to have an S-level evaluation, you need to have a certain degree of political influence, which Gao Jin does not have.
In Hamburg, Cafe Mora, Heideshier was talking to Pross, the owner of the Mechanical Light Research Institute, discussing the acquisition.
Of the five mechanical research institutes, four have been secured, and only the Mechanical Light Research Institute is left.
"Haider Hill, eight million, my price is not high. You have to know that my research institute is different from those ordinary research institutes. My research institute has more than 200 patents," Prolos said reluctantly.
.
"Pross, you and I both know very well that your research institute cannot survive."
"Many of the more than 200 patents are outdated, and some patents have no practical value. The remaining patents bring you less than 100,000 euros in profit every year."
"The number of researchers in your research institute has been reduced from 140 to more than 40. This month's salary requires 170,000 euros."
"You can no longer pay this month's salary."
"In this way, if you agree to sell it for six million euros, and this month's salary will be borne by the acquirer, what do you think?" Heidehir said this unhurriedly.
"Seven million, plus the acquirer is responsible for this month's salary, this is my bottom line."
Poulos looked at Hyde Hill and said this. If a buyer is not found quickly for the institute, the institute will have to be closed down.
At that time, it will be difficult to sell it at a good price.
Heidehir slowly shook his head after listening to Pross.
"Six million, this is the bottom line. If you don't agree, the acquisition will be terminated."
"You know very well how many mechanical research institutes in Hamburg are currently unsustainable. Frankly speaking, it is not that we have no goals and cannot reach an agreement, so I can only start negotiations with the next one."
The price will not go up by a penny. The Mechanical Light Research Institute is worth the price. Any more will not be worthwhile.
For the sake of his 700,000-yuan annual salary contract, Hydehill must solve this matter beautifully.
GLP became entangled. There were too many mechanical research institutes in Hamburg. As the industrial center of Germany, the industrial development here also led to the development of mechanical research institutes.
It is a pity that the current international economy is not very good. Corporate profits have been declining year after year. Enterprises are having a hard time, and research institutes are having an even harder time.
"I need to meet with the acquirer. If you can arrange it, I will agree to this price." Prologis said this while looking at Hyde Hill.
"ProLogis, I know what you mean. I plan to trick the acquirer into investing in some research and development projects."
"You'd better stop thinking about it."
"The acquirer is not one person, but a team. The project prospects will definitely be reviewed by a professional team. Deception will not work."
"Give me a happy word, whether to sell or not to sell."
"If you don't sell it, this matter ends here. My time is limited and I don't have time to waste with you."
Heideshier is a little impatient. Of the five research institutes, the remaining four were settled in one negotiation. This is the third time we have talked with you, and you are still bargaining with me. I must put some pressure on you.
"I promise six million and a half million."
"The area of my research institute is definitely larger than the area of the research institute you acquired, or it is larger than the combined area of the research institutes you acquired. It is worth 6.5 million."
Poulos took out his last trump card and looked at Hyde Hill with determination in his eyes. If he didn't agree to the price, there would be no negotiation.
"Prologis, you have a large land area and you pay a lot of taxes every year. Do you think this is your advantage?"
"You're wrong. This is your disadvantage. No one wants to pay the damn taxes every year."
"For Evelin's sake, I will give you a preferential treatment. You can agree to 6.5 million. We will no longer bear the employee's salary this month."
"This is also my bottom line. If you don't agree, end the negotiation immediately!"
Heideshier didn't have the patience to continue talking to Pross. If it weren't for the fact that Pross and his wife Evelin were distantly related, Pross would have been tricked a long time ago.
