Chapter 1275 Return to the American Market
"Well, with Rothschild's ability, when will it help me achieve absolute control of Scania?"
"It depends on how much you are willing to pay for it." James Rothschild did not answer directly, but instead circled Lin Zheng.
But he obviously made the wrong plan. He smiled slightly and Lin Zheng looked at James Rothschild and said, "Mr. James, maybe you misunderstood a little. Lianchuang Technology is indeed very interested in Scania, but it is not necessary to control Scania for a certain period of time. We have time, we are not in a hurry, and we can even... we can acquire the voting rights in the hands of other shareholders."
The acquisition of voting rights is a rare thing, but it has not happened before. Unlike the acquisition of equity, the acquisition of voting rights does not involve the returns of the shareholders' shares. For example, Lianchuang Technology's practice of acquiring voting rights for a specific commercial behavior is not high. In the event that fully controlled the voting rights cannot be achieved, it is also a good way to acquire voting rights. The difficulty lies in how to convince the voting rights to be sold to Lin Zheng, but compared with the acquisition of shares, it is much less difficult to do this.
James Rothschild then realized that he had overestimated Lin Zheng's eagerness for Scania. His face changed slightly, and he took a deep breath: "Okay, Mr. Lin, what do you want?"
"Rothschild Commercial Bank wants to get this business, first of all, this acquisition will be cooperated with Yamei Bank..."
"This is impossible!"
Before Lin Zheng could express his second condition, James Rothschild refused without thinking. He cooperated with Asia-American Bank and handed the money from his left hand to his right hand? Isn’t it equivalent to making wedding clothes for others? Such stupid things cannot be done: "Mr. Lin, Rothschild will never cooperate with other banks..."
"That's nothing to talk about?" Looking at James Rothschild, Lin Zheng's eyes were very calm: "Mr. James, are you sure?"
"I……"
James Rothschild wanted to say, "I'm afraid of you? At worst, I can leave!", but unfortunately, he kept saying this several times. He didn't dare to say it: In the final analysis, who made Lin Zheng not short of money? Once the boss Lin was in a big mess, it would be impossible for him to pay for Scania by himself.
The reason why banks are so awesome in front of companies is because they hold the things that companies lack the most: funds. Once they cannot get stuck in the company in terms of funds, banks will no longer be awesome.
James Rothschild's face was changing in a constant state. The old housekeeper with gray hair who had been standing behind him was calm enough. Taking a deep breath, James Rothschild said, "Mr. Lin. Your proposal makes me embarrassed."
"Well, it'll be better if you get used to it later." Lin Zheng said casually: "Mr. James, you have to understand that Rothschild Bank is not necessary for us."
“…”
Just get used to it? What is this answer?
These words were ruthless and did not give face to the future heirs of the family that had lasted for 300 years. But that was the case. Although Lin Zheng's words made James Rothschild speechless, the corners of the old housekeeper whose expression had not changed much could not help but twitch the corners of the mouth of the old housekeeper who had not changed much.
James Rothschild wanted to leave, but an acquisition with a total amount of more than $1 billion is not something that can be encountered at any time. Although looking at the world, such acquisitions with a total amount of more than $1 billion are not uncommon. It seems that one occurs in two or three years at most, and even several occurs a year at most, but this does not mean that Rothschild Bank is qualified to interfere in these businesses. The banking industry is also divided into "territories". Rothschild Bank is just a commercial bank with a total assets of more than $30 billion. In this industry, it can only be regarded as a small and medium-sized fish, and the consequences of randomly reaching out is very serious.
Lin Zheng said, "You guys love to play or not, don't play!" And he really has the ability to get rid of the Rothschild family. James Rothschild must face Lin Zheng's threat... Yes, this is a threat... After thinking seriously for a long time, James Rothschild said to Lin Zheng with a embarrassed look: "Okay, Asia American Bank can participate. We can accept it, but the proportion of funds invested by Asia American Bank cannot exceed 40%.
"That's right. This is how cooperation is. The purpose of cooperation is to make money for everyone." James Rothschild relaxed, and Lin Zheng immediately laughed. It's good that Asia-American Bank can participate. As for whether it is 50% or 40%, Lin Zheng actually didn't care too much: "But I hope to get more shares, such as 60%. Is there any problem?"
"No problem!" James Rothschild, who finally figured out the reality, answered extremely happily. Since Lin Zheng was unwilling and had the ability to avoid being threatened by himself, then follow the business, "No matter whether it is 60% or 50%, it is not a problem."
"Very good, it seems that we have only the last two differences in Scania," Lin Zheng leaned forward slightly, and looked at James Rothschild, his eyes actually a little aggressive: "Mr. James, I hope you can honestly tell me a reasonable interest rate and a general acquisition schedule at the same time."
This is what Lin Zheng is dissatisfied with the 4% interest rate that James Rothschild said before... No one would be satisfied with it: You just helped me convince o2, and you dared to ask me to pay more than half a billion US dollars?!
Are you stupid, or do you think I'm stupid?
James Rothschild is obviously not used to being stared at by people with such aggressive eyes. In the past, he used this kind of eyes to look at others. He twisted his body uncomfortably and swallowed: "One year, at most one year, Rothschild can guarantee that you can hold more than half of Scania's shares. As for the interest rate...2.8%, this is the lowest interest rate. We also want to help you get the o2."
This means that the consultant fee for o2 is waived.
Looking at James Rothschild, Lin Zheng suddenly smiled: "Is that true? But as far as I know, the Rothschild family is one of the shareholders of O2? If the information I don't have is correct, it seems that it is the largest shareholder? For you, there is actually no difficulty in persuasion, right?"
"Yes, the Rothschild family does hold part of the shares of O2," James Rothschild admitted frankly, but his reasons are also very powerful: "But I don't have the final say in this kind of thing alone. If I want to convince the family to agree to O instead of Microsoft Poketpc2002, I need to pay some price."
This reason can be recognized. The larger the family, the more complex the interest relationship is, and the crueler the struggles within the family will be. Lin Zheng does not think that this situation can be inevitable within the Rothschild family. Even if he is James Rothschild, he is one of the candidates for the next generation of patriarchs of the Rothschild family, but it is only "one". At this stage of investigation, he must show the ability to balance the interest relationship within the family, and cannot harm the interests on the other side because of a certain interest... Even if there is any harm, it is necessary to ensure that the overall interests of the family are strengthened.
He nodded and suddenly laughed: "Okay, 2.8% I can accept it, but there is still a problem."
"What?"
Looking at Lin Zheng's smile, for some reason, James Rothschild's heart suddenly burst out.
"American market." A few words appeared in Lin Zheng's mouth.
fuk!
James Rothschild finally knew where the uneasiness in his heart came from. Lin Zheng, this bastard, has been thinking about the American market!
However, even though the Chinese successfully surpassed the United States last year and became the world's largest mobile communication market, the United States is also the world's second largest mobile communication market. Motorola used despicable means to squeeze out the United States, of course Lin Zheng and his Lianchuang Technology were not convinced and wanted to come back.
It's funny to say that Motorola vowed to drive the Chinese out and "maintain the purity of the American market." Unfortunately, after driving Lianchuang Technology out of the mobile phone market in the form of legislation, Motorola's share in the Chinese market was compressed to less than 10%, but its market share in the US was also falling: once the number one giant in the US market, now has less than 50%.
Did Motorola regret it? Of course, it was regretful. Their senior management had visited Chinese leaders several times, hoping that "the two sides can cooperate at a deeper level and in a wider range of areas." Unfortunately, what Motorola did before was really hard to have a good impression of them. Let Motorola say something magnificent, China also hummed and did not give Motorola a clear answer.
Missing the mobile communications market, which is the largest in the world and will inevitably continue to expand in the future, is no longer something that Motorola can lose money or loses his troops. Some scholars have publicly criticized Motorola, saying that this is "the most serious and stupidest mistake that Motorola has made in the past half a century."
James Rothschild knew this, but he knew even more that this incident was also a very challenging thing for the Rothschild family.
"I know it's difficult," Lin Zheng said leisurely at James Rothschild whose face changed suddenly: "But high returns are always accompanied by high risks. If Rothschild wants to make more, I think this is a good deal." (To be continued.)
