Legend of Xiangjiang Tycoon - Chapter 513
“If Andre Larson agrees with me, I can let Volvo enter mainland China!” Li Zhiwen said.
After Li Zhiwen finished speaking, Holland Kramer was shocked.
He did not think that Li Zhiwen wanted to acquire Volvo.
But after thinking about it, Holland Kramer felt that it was necessary for Li Zhiwen to do so.
If any of the Rover Group is allowed to enter China, they will be questioned by the British government, so the best way is to find a company to occupy the position first.
When the Hong Kong issue is over, it is not a good idea for Rover to enter China through Volvo’s channels.
“Mainland China, huh, how many people can afford a car there!” Andre Larson said disdainfully.
“What is the population of Sweden?” Liu Chenghao asked.
“Over nine million people!” Andre Larson said.
“How many cars do you own in total?” Liu Chenghao continued to ask.
“Seven to eight million units!” Andre Larson said proudly.
No wonder Andre Larson is proud. Sweden is a highly developed capitalist country with 700,000 to 800,000 cars, equivalent to more than half of the people owning cars.
“The mainland has a population of one billion!” Liu Chenghao said.
“So what, they are all poor people, where can they afford a car!” Andre Larson said.
“Idiot, everyone can see the huge business opportunities in the mainland, but you can’t.”
“One percent of a billion people who buy a car will far exceed the car ownership in Sweden. You can’t even see such a big market!” Li Zhiwen scolded.
At first, Andre Larson wanted to turn his back on Li Zhiwen’s scolding, but when he heard Li Zhiwen’s words behind him, he thought.
Yes, China can’t compare with Sweden. China will win the market by outwitness, which may make Volvo go further.
“Mr. Li is right, I was wrong!” Andre Larson apologized.
“It’s good to know it’s wrong. Now I have the opportunity to let Volvo enter this vast market before other car brands. As long as Volvo’s policy does not deviate from it, Volvo can definitely become an important force that cannot be ignored in the mainland market!” said Li Zhiwen.
“Mr. Li is right, I agree to this cooperation, but the rest of the board of directors of Volvo has to be written into the contract!” Andre Larson said.
“This is no problem, but what I want to say is that if some of your actions harm my interests, I will take back control of Volvo through normal means.” Li Zhiwen said.
“Of course, this is what it should be. The chairman of the board is to benefit all shareholders.” Andre Larson said.
“Okay, then let’s sign a contract!” Liu Chenghao said.
“This is no problem, but Mr. Li wants to take me down to reduce the 40% stake in Volvo held by SKF Group. Sold,” Andre Larson said.
“Of course, I understand that I just don’t want to be the big fat sheep of SKF Group. Of course, I will negotiate with SKF Group how much it will cost.”
“Now we need to sign a contract first to let SKF Group give up. As for the rest, I will come forward and communicate with SKF Group!” Li Zhiwen said.
“I have no problem. In fact, I also want to introduce new capital. It’s just that I am not used to the random sale of Volvo Cars by SKF Group, so I have this time!” Andre Larson said.
“I understand, I understand!” Li Zhiwen said with disgust.
What Andre Larson said was high-sounding. In fact, to put it bluntly, Andre Larson just wanted to take advantage of the situation.
Now it seems that taking advantage of the fire is no longer enough, and there are greater interests, so that’s fine.
However, this has nothing to do with Li Zhiwen. The first thing Li Zhiwen came to Gothenburg was done.
SKF Group Headquarters
Li Zhiwen and Holland Kramer came here, and were led by Carl Winquist’s secretary to the conference room of Carl Winquist.
“Boss, Mars Capital’s here!” said the secretary.
“Come in!” said Carl Winquist.
And soon the secretary brought Li Zhiwen and Holland Kramer in, then made coffee for Carl Winquist and left the office.
“Mr. Holland, I didn’t expect you to come so quickly!” said Carl Winquist.
“We are also worried that SKF Group will go bankrupt due to external factors!” Holland Kramer said.
Carl Winquist blushed and continued to ask, “Mr. Holland, who is this?”
Because Mars Capital has always been managed by Holland Kramer, they thought Holland Kramer was the boss of the company!
“This is Li Zhiwen, our minority shareholder of Mars Capital, who happened to be traveling in Europe recently, so come and have a look!” Holland Kramer said.
“It turned out to be Mr. Li. I’m glad to meet you. It seems that Mars Capital has done a great job and even has Asian shareholders!” Carl Winquist said.
“It’s just a coincidence, we just made some small investments in Asia!” Li Zhiwen said with a slight smile.
“Understood, the two came a little early today, and tomorrow will be the Volvo Car Corporation’s share sale meeting.” Carl Winquist said.
“Mr. Winquist, look at this first!” Holland Kramer smiled and handed a document to Carl Winquist.
Carl Winquist took the document over suspiciously, flipped through it, and soon his face became gloomy.
Because it was a meeting about Andre Larson launching the SKF Group sale of Volvo Cars.
Originally, there were only two interested in Volvo Cars, one was Andre Larson and the other was Mars Capital.
And the launch of Andre Larson indicates that the only buyer left is Mars Capital.
This made Garwinquist’s abacus fail, so it was also the reason for the downturn.
“Mr. Horrank’s good way of playing, amazing, beautiful!” said Carl Winquist.
“Mr. Winquist, we also went to Volvo Cars to take a look in advance, and to understand, who would have met Andre Larson on the road, so we discussed for a while.”
“In the end, Andre Larsen agreed with us and withdrew from the sale meeting!” said Holland Kramer.
“I understand, but even so, Volvo Cars won’t cut prices!” said Carl Winquist.
“I understand that the buyer and the seller, one willing to buy and the other willing to sell, cannot be controlled by external forces.”
Gu “But it all depends on the price. If the price is not right, we won’t buy it.”
“I wonder what Mr. Winquist’s psychological price is?” said Holland.
“Four hundred million dollars!” Carl Winquist asked.
“Mr. Winquist really dares to ask for it, sorry, but we are not taking advantage of it, so Mr. Winquist, let’s go.” Li Zhiwen said directly and stood up.
I also blame Carl Winquist. The price is like a joke. The total market value of Volvo Cars is not even $400 million.
Carl Winquist only said this out of anger. After all, being put together makes no one feel comfortable.
When Horan Kramer saw Li Zhiwen get up, he also got up in a hurry to leave.
“Mr. Li, Mr. Horrank, please wait a moment, I was also confused and said angrily.” Carl Winquist hurriedly persuaded.
Andrea Larson is no longer involved. If the people from Mars Capital also leave, then SKF Group will have to wait to die.
And even if Garwinquist could get Andre Larson back, Andre Larson wouldn’t put out too much money, and Andre Larson doesn’t have that much money today. .
“Mr. Winquist, although you are angry, business is business, don’t bring your feelings in, let’s do it today, let’s talk about it when you feel better!” Li Zhiwen said.
“Okay, let’s talk about it tomorrow!” Carl Winquist said with a smile.
In this way, Li Zhiwen and Holland Kramer left the SKF Group.
But after Li Zhiwen and the others left, Carl Wynquist couldn’t hold back any longer, and directly overturned the things on the desk to the ground.
“SHIT, **** it, yellow monkey”
Such words came out of Garwinquist’s mouth.
And the secretary didn’t dare to go in when he heard the noise in the office, but walked in cautiously when no sound could be heard.
At this time, Carl Winquist was calm, and when he saw the secretary come in, he said, “Take care of this place and come inside!”
The secretary replied tremblingly, “Yes!”
The secretary knew what would happen when he went inside, but he didn’t dare to resist, because she knew there would be such a day sooner or later.
The secretary packed up the office, opened the inner door and walked in.
All I could see was Carl Wynquist leaning on the bed, while candles, belts, ropes, etc. were in front of the window.
“Come in, let’s enjoy these!” Gal Winquist said fiercely.
……
When Li Zhiwen and Holland Kramer arrived at Gal Winquist’s office the next day, Gal Winquist’s mood was already very stable, and there was even a smile on his face.
It’s just that the secretary who made the coffee today changed. Of course, Li Zhiwen obviously didn’t notice what happened.
“Mr. Li, Mr. Horrank, you also know that Volvo Cars is a listed company. Since it is a listed company’s share sale, it must be dealt with in the way of a listed company.”
“In general, if the shares of listed companies are acquired, they are acquired at twice the price. At this price, the shares of Volvo Cars held by our SKF Group are worth 100 million US dollars, so Mars Capital only needs to invest For $100 million, 40% of Volvo Cars’ stock is owned by Mars Capital,” said Carl Winquist.
“Mr. Winquist, although your price today is much less than yesterday, it is not the market price. We have never seen a double premium for the stock of the company we acquired. This is not in compliance with the regulations. Well, we Acquired at 1.2 times the price, this price is not low.” Li Zhiwen said.
“Mr. Li is joking, 1.2 times, any company can buy 1.2 times, and I put more than 1.2 times in the stock market!” Carl Winquist said.
“Since Mr. Winquist said this, I have no objection. Why don’t SKF Group put its stock in the stock market and try it out!” Li Zhiwen said with a smile.
Carl Winquist was at a loss for words, and he only said it in a hurry.
Once 40% of stocks enter the stock market, Carl Winquist can foresee what will happen.
It must have been the direct decline of Volvo Cars’ stock, which could not be directly cheaper than Mars Capital and Andre Larson.
SKF Group can’t wait if it is sold a little bit. After all, there are a lot of bank loans waiting for SKF Group to repay.
If SKF Group fails to pay off its debts within the specified period, then SKF Group is not Carl Winquist.
This is also the fundamental reason why Carl Winquist has not put Volvo Cars shares into the market on a large scale.
From the beginning to the end, Carl Winquist has always considered a sale together. Only in this way can SKF Group obtain the maximum benefit.
“The minimum is 1.7 times, I won’t sell it without it!” said Carl Winquist.
“1.2 times is the highest price. If it is higher than this price, we won’t buy it from Mars Capital!” Aunt Li Zhiwen said outside, and took a sip of coffee.
“Mr. Li, you are extortion!” Carl Winquist was angry.
“Mr. Winquist, you can also choose not to sell, did we Mars Capital force you!” Li Zhiwen spread his hands and said.
“Mr. Li, you are also considerate of my difficulties, I do need a fund!” said Carl Winquist.
“Mr. Winquist~www.mtlnovel.com~ This has nothing to do with us Mars Capital, we are now talking about Volvo Cars!” Li Zhiwen said with a smile.
“1.5 times, I’ll sell it to Andre Larson!” Carl Winquist said.
“Mr. Winquist, this price is too high, we can’t accept it, let’s do it, I’ll buy it at 1.3 times. If you want, you can nod and agree. If you don’t want to, I can’t help it. , just make friends!” Li Zhiwen said.
At this time, Li Zhiwen knew that Carl Winquist wanted to hack himself to death with a knife.
But it’s a pity that Carl Winquist didn’t dare. After all, after killing Li Zhiwen, there would be no one else.
And Li Zhiwen did it very simply. After all, Mars Capital is its own company, so it is natural to save a little bit, but it’s not good to do something with the money saved.
The same opposite, Carl Winquist, is making a difficult choice. According to the usual price, he will never buy it, but now it is true that the SKF Group is at the moment of life and death, and there is no reason why Carl Winquist will not buy it.
In the end, Carl Winquist could only nod his head in agreement.
“Mr. Winquist, congratulations, you made the right choice!” Li Zhiwen said.
“Mr. Li, I hope to never see you again, you are a devil!” said Carl Winquist.
