Legend of Xiangjiang Tycoon - Chapter 516
Li Zhiwen glanced at the back, most of them didn’t have too many suitable ones, so Li Zhiwen didn’t look back either.
Instead, they put together the report and said to Holland Kramer: “Horank, what we are doing in Sweden at present has led to an investment in SKF Group.”
“We’ve talked to Carl Winquist about this, and if they want to raise money, we’re one of their targets.”
“Of course there will be people who have the same idea of SKF as we are, so what we have to do is to get the biggest stake as much as possible!”
“Understood, boss!” said Holland Kramer.
“The second thing is the acquisition of H&M company, this thing must be done, but it is not a difficult thing to do, Pearson only has H&M27 % of the shares, we only need to get some shares from the Stockholm Stock Exchange, and then buy some from the capital, we can become the largest shareholder, and things will be very simple!” Li Zhiwen said.
Li Zhiwen mentioned H&M again, and Holland Kramer finally couldn’t wait.
He asked directly, “Boss, we currently own the Prada Group and the Louis Vuitton Group, and we have already controlled the European cosmetics market and fashion market.”
“In terms of complementarity, there is absolutely no need for us to acquire H&M. Instead of acquiring this clothing company, it is better to acquire some other industries as a supplement!”
“Holanke, I understand what you mean, but in fact, if we continue to cultivate in an industry and become the overlord of the industry, then the rewards we will bring to us will be much higher than your imagination,” Li Zhiwen said.
Li Zhiwen will never forget a French man in later generations, Bernard Arnault.
This man became the richest man in the world thanks to the Louis Vuitton Group.
How does this person do it, that is, continuous acquisitions and continuous deep cultivation of an industry.
Louis Vuitton, Cheese Hennessy, Givenchy, Dior, Guerlain and more.
As long as it is possible, as long as he has funds, Bernard Arnault will not give up any opportunity, and these brands are monopolized by him, which finally fulfilled his dream of being the richest man in the world.
Of course, Bernard Arnault has no hope of rising in this life, because whether it is luxury cosmetics such as Dior and Louis Vuitton, or his family business Cheoyue Hennessy, they have now become Li Zhiwen’s possessions.
And Li Zhiwen did so again in the cosmetics industry.
Of course, Li Zhiwen won’t tell Holland Kramer his true intention to acquire H&M, that is, to make this humiliating brand under his command and let those messy people in the company get out of the way, of course, this guy Pearson naturally also Gotta pack up and leave.
Hearing Li Zhiwen’s words, Holland Kramer nodded, reluctantly agreeing with Li Zhiwen’s words.
“The third one is Hasselblad Camera and Absolut Vodka. On the Hasselblad Camera side, ask the founders’ children, and I’ll talk to them.”
“As for Absolut Vodka, you should go to the stock market to buy his shares, and then take it slow!” Li Zhiwen said.
“Understood!” said Holland Kramer.
Li Zhiwen wanted to win Absolut Vodka, so he separated Joy Hennessy from the Louis Vuitton Group.
With Cheeyue Hennessy as the company, the brand Absolut Vodka is also included, and their own spirits group is established.
In this way, in terms of alcohol, Li Zhiwen has both Western-style spirits and red wines like the Lucheng family, so he lacks Chinese wines.
But when Li Zhiwen goes to the mainland next time, he can visit his hometown in his previous life. Baijiu is very famous.
After all, if you ask where the restaurant is, the shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village.
And doing so also allows Louis Vuitton and Cheoyue Hennessy to separate and operate independently.
Of course, there is also the idea of weakening the power of Louis Vuitton’s president.
After all, Li Zhiwen is not in Europe all the year round. Although Isabel Adjani and Sophie Marceau can help, they are born stars after all, and these operators can easily wipe them out.
What’s more, Isabelle Adjani still manages the Helena Group, which exhausts her physically and mentally, not to mention the larger Louis Vuitton Group.
Of course, the businesses of Helena Group and Louis Vuitton Group overlap somewhat, both dealing in cosmetics, but if Li Zhiwen is to be merged, at least Isabel Adjani’s ability must keep up.
For now, it’s better to maintain the status quo.
“Boss, President, SKF Group sent someone over to invite the boss to visit the SKF Group headquarters!” Mars Capital staff reported.
“We got it, tell the person here, and we’ll be there soon!” Li Zhiwen said.
The staff of Mars Capital heard Li Zhiwen’s arrangement and left the room.
“It seems that they should have decided to welcome us to join them!” Li Zhiwen said with a smile.
“Congratulations to the boss for further progress in his career!” Holland Kramer said with a smile.
“Let’s do it, let’s go and see what medicine Galwinquist bought in the gourd!” Li Zhiwen said.
“Very happy!” said Holland Kramer.
After a while, Li Zhiwen and Holland Kramer came to the headquarters of SKF Group again. Carl Winquist’s secretary was waiting at the entrance of the building, which made Li Zhiwen very unhappy.
“Mr. Li, Mr. Horrank, I’m sorry that our president is meeting important guests in the conference room, so I arranged for me to wait here for the two of you!” Julie said.
“Since your president has guests, why don’t we come back another day!” Holland Kramer said.
In fact, this kind of remark should let the other staff of Mars Capital say, after all, Julie is just a secretary.
But unfortunately, only Li Zhiwen and Holland Kramer came to Mars Capital, and the others were Li Zhiwen’s bodyguards.
And the bodyguard’s thinking is not as fast as Holland Kramer’s.
After all, from the perspective of Holland Kramer and Li Zhiwen, the two came here to sign a contract. Of course, there may be twists and turns, but the ultimate goal is this.
But what does Carl Winquist’s actions mean?
Holan Kramer’s words made Julie unable to react, so she stayed there and didn’t know what to say. After all, it was the first time she had seen this kind of situation.
In fact, Carl Winquist has no important guests at all. He just thinks that Li Zhiwen has been leading the negotiation of Volvo Cars not long ago.
This time, it can’t be like this. After all, this time is a critical moment for the life and death of SKF Group.
Similarly, Carl Winquist also prepared a series of measures, but obviously this first level would not go on.
“Okay, Horanke, don’t embarrass Miss Julie, let’s go in and see for ourselves!” Li Zhiwen said.
Li Zhiwen’s words made Julie heave a sigh of relief. At the same time, she felt that Li Zhiwen was worthy of being a boss, and his style of doing things was very grand.
Little did he know that Holland Kramer’s actions were all instructed by Li Zhiwen. After all, letting the boss do such a thing would be a bit of a loss.
“Yes, boss!” said Holland Kramer.
“Let’s lead the way soon!” Holland Kramer said to Julie.
“Yes, Mr. Li, Mr. Holland, please come with me!” Julie said.
Julie and Li Zhiwen came to Carl Winquist’s office.
“Mr. Li, Mr. Horrank, you sit first, I’ll report to the boss!” Julie said.
“Okay, Miss Julie, please hurry up, we have other things to deal with!” Li Zhiwen said.
“Yes, Mr. Li!” Julie said.
After a while, Julie came back and said, “Mr. Li, Mr. Holland, our president, please move to the conference room!”
“Okay!” After Li Zhiwen finished speaking, he stood up and followed Julie away.
Soon Li Zhiwen and Holland Kramer came to the previous conference room again.
It’s just that Carl Winquist is no longer the only one in the conference room, and there are several people across from him.
“Mr. Li, Mr. Horrank, please take a seat!” said Carl Winquist.
Li Zhiwen ignored it and sat down directly.
“Several, let me introduce first, this is Mr. Horanke, the president of Mars Capital, and Mr. Li, the shareholder!” Carl Winquist pointed to Li Zhiwen and Horan Kramer and introduced.
And introduce the two people opposite Li Zhiwen and Holland Kramer.
“These two are Jimmy Weasley, president of CreditEase Investment Company, and Vige Carokey, vice president.”
“Both of you have the idea of investing in our SKF Group, so I will invite both of you to bid together,” said Carl Winquist.
It turned out to be the case, Li Zhiwen knew in his heart.
Before Li Zhiwen and Holland Kramer spoke, the two guys on the opposite side spoke up.
“Mars Capital, isn’t it? This time, our CreditEase investment company’s investment in SKF Group is bound to be won, so you’d better exit as soon as possible.” Vige Karocki said.
“I”
Li Zhiwen stopped Holland Kramer, who was about to speak, but said with a smile: “I’m sorry we only found out that there is another company that is interested in SKF Group. If this is the case, then let’s quit, this matter We won’t interfere, and we will hand over this opportunity to CreditEase.”
Then Li Zhiwen said to Carl Winquist: “Mr. Winquist, I’m sorry that we may have to leave early.”
“Uh!”
Li Zhiwen’s words first caused the two people from CreditEase Investment Company opposite to stare at him, and then Carl Winquist was equally stunned.
In fact, Li Zhiwen has already seen the trick of Carl Wingquist.
There are indeed companies other than Mars Capital who have ideas to invest in SKF Group, but like Li Zhiwen, they want to take advantage of the situation, so their bids are not high.
When Carl Winquist told the people on the board that Mars Capital had an idea to invest in SKF Group, the people on the board gave Carl Winquist a bad idea.
That is to find two people to play the role of CreditEase Investment Company, to be catfish, and to increase the price of Mars Capital.
Of course, this method is immoral, but in the face of money, Carl Winquist decided to abandon his morals.
That’s why there was such a scene, but Carl Winquist never expected Li Zhiwen to react like this.
And Li Zhiwen’s idea is very simple, no investment company will say that the project they want to invest in is inevitable, and it is not waiting for the invested company to sit on the ground and raise the price.
So when Vige Karoki shouted out that sentence, Li Zhiwen understood the truth, and that’s why he said this.
And Holland Kramer also responded and said with cooperation: “Yes, I am really sorry, since I have disturbed you, then we will leave first, and we will take the plane back to Paris tomorrow, after all, Paris is over there. There are many more things.”
Holankremer’s words made Jarwinquist completely anxious, and Jarwinquist said: “Mr. Lee, Mr. Holranker, it was me who didn’t think carefully, so please wait a moment in my office. , I’ll go right after I’ve dealt with things here.”
“Mr. Winquist, no need, I was very embarrassed to disturb your group’s financing, but for now, just keep communicating!” said Holland Kramer.
“It will be fine soon, just a few days!” Carl Winquist wiped the sweat from his face, and then ordered to Julie: “Julie, take out my best coffee and give it to the two gentlemen. Have a drink!”
“Yes, boss!” Julie said.
“Alright then, let’s go have a cup of coffee, but there’s only time for a cup of coffee!” said Holland Kramer.
“Understood, understood!” said Carl Winquist.
In this way, Li Zhiwen and Holland Kramer, led by Julie, returned to Carl Winquist’s office again.
And Julie brewed a cup of coffee for each of them.
“Holanke, have a taste!” Li Zhiwen said with a smile.
Without time for a cup of coffee, Carl Winquist returned to the office.
“Mr. Winquist is so quick to negotiate such a big cooperation. CreditEase Investment seems to be a sure thing!” Holland Kramer joked. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
“No, I still refused their request!” said Carl Winquist.
“Why, could it be our reason? It’s a pity, Mr. Winquist, you don’t have to think about our company at all, and our company doesn’t have to invest in SKF Group. Can we catch up now? It’s better to let Zhu Miss Li, hurry up and chase!” Holland Kramer said.
“No, I’d rather cooperate with a big company like Mars Capital than them!” Carl Winquist said.
“Well, Mr. Winquist might as well say a price, let’s think about it?” Holland Kramer said with a smile.
“For $150 million, we sold 15% of the shares, which is a very suitable level!” said Carl Winquist.
Carl Winquist was worried that the high price would scare the two away, so he directly quoted the psychological price of SKF Group.
“Deal!” Li Zhiwen said directly.
Li Zhiwen and the two came to talk about buying shares. Naturally, they understood the market value of SKF Group. The market value of one billion US dollars is indeed not high for SKF Group. It seems that the previous actions made Carl Winquist scared.
So Li Zhiwen didn’t even think about bargaining, so he agreed.
Carl Winquist breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Then let’s sign the contract!”
