Chapter 794: Do You Want to Go Public?
Yin Jun went to talk about things, not with Goldman Sachs, but at the branch of Lehman Brothers in Los Angeles.
Because the headquarters of United Arts Pictures and Disney are in California, Goldman Sachs has already sent people to Los Angeles to negotiate with them.
Yu Zheng and Ding Linxiang have now joined their negotiation team to learn more about the management process and development direction of Disney and United Arts Films.
Because they are not very familiar with the way of doing things in the United States, Tang Shuxuan is also following the whole process and can be regarded as joining the team.
Going to Lehman Brothers was not one of the purposes of Yin Jun's visit to the United States, but it was such a coincidence.
This morning, when Yin Jun was still holding Deng Lijun for warmth, Prismon turned on the transatlantic phone and told Yin Jun that the acquisition of 7-11 had come to an end, and the senior management of Lehman Brothers wanted to talk to him.
The boy is called overjoyed.
7-11 has a very important position in his career map.
At first glance, 7-Eleven is the kind of retail stores and convenience stores that are all over the streets, and there are many in China, so there is nothing unusual.
However, in addition to developing very well in the United States and Japan, 7-11 has spread almost all over Asia except Kaihua, and it is the kind that dominates the world.
What does this mean?
It means that no matter what Yin Jun does in the future, he will have a very fixed outlet, a network that can connect the whole of Asia.
When the time comes, entertainment magazines, comic weeklies, books, concert tickets, DVDs, and all kinds of best-selling books...... and so on, there is the fastest sales and consumption channel, unless the Internet era comes in 30 years, its position cannot be replaced.
There are also ATMs.
7-Eleven developed its own ATM and then established a bank, using about 20,000 retail stores to make a deposit and withdrawal network all over Japan and the country.
Even with the advent of the Internet age, it can also be used as a pick-up point for online purchases, right?
In addition, 7-11 has tens of thousands of commodities and more than 40,000 stores throughout Asia, how many commodity orders will it bring, and how many jobs and economic development will it promote?
As long as the boy has this in his hands, then his development in the country will be absolutely smooth sailing, and no one dares to risk hundreds of thousands, millions of people losing their jobs to offend such a patriotic businessman.
Of course, that's still too far away.
7-11 has just begun to develop in Japan, and there are only more than 1,000 companies, which is far from the huge scale of 20,000 in a single day in the future.
If the scale of 7-11 is large, it is unlikely that Yin Jun will buy shares of 7-11 from the Southern Company.
How good it is now, you can buy it for a few hundred million dollars.
Upon arrival at Lehman Brothers' branch, Adam Baker, as Lehman Brothers' global vice president, personally greeted Yin Jun on the first floor and took him into his office.
Many executives in the United States have a lot of requirements for their offices.
Spacious, comfortable, luxurious...... These conditions are the most basic, and many people also ask for an indoor miniature golf driving range, a huge fish tank, a small recording and singing studio, etc., to satisfy their various hobbies.
Adambeck's office occupies 100 square meters, and the entire wall is a single glass wall, with a view of the street scene of Los Angeles in the distance.
There is also a small café with all kinds of coffee-making tools.
Obviously, he was fiddling with these just now, and when Yin Jun sat down, he brought a cup of Blue Mountain coffee, "Come, taste it, this is from the Japanese branch." These days, I really enjoy the best coffee beans with them. ”
"I am very smart, but this is all small cleverness, and they have no room for struggle in the overall international situation. Yin Jun drank bitter coffee and said with a smile: "I have never heard of a country that has no say in the international community at all, but can become the world's first by relying on its strong economic strength." Didn't the United States get to where it is today because of the blood shed by millions of warriors in World War I and World War II?"
Adambeck's eyes lit up, and he immediately smiled: "Mr. Yin, your point of view is really unexpectedly sharp and direct! I think many people are shouting that the wolf is coming, but they are not as thorough as you think." ”
Yin Jun smiled.
What did I get?
Their human resources, geographical location, historical stains, mineral resources, etc., are completely untenable.
It is not until 20 years later, when China has become the world's factory, when the goods produced in China have beaten all your pride to the ground, that you, European, American, and American countries will know what deep malice is.
Adam Baker continued: "Last time, Plison had already communicated with you, and we also persuaded the board of directors of the Southern Company that the price, according to what you said before, the package price of 630 million US dollars, 7-11 except for the United States, Japan, and Treasure Island, you can't control, all the rest of the world is under your control. Including you Xiangjiang.
Coincidentally, in September last year, the company under Jardine Matheson in Xiangjiang applied for the 7-11 Xiangjiang franchise, but after we started negotiating, the Southern Company temporarily dragged out this negotiation, and now it can be canceled! Otherwise, the boss of 7-11 would have been made his own brand by others in his own city, and he could only watch, what would that look like?"
Yin Jun nodded.
In the past, Jardine Matheson's milk company should have negotiated the concession of 7-Eleven in the Xiangjiang area in January this year, and then the first 7-Eleven opened in April.
Since then, it has been out of control, and 7-11 has opened more than 800 in such a small place as Xiangjiang, and there is really 7-11 around the corner!
This also helped the dairy company and Jardine Matheson to have an additional dense network all over Xiangjiang, and an extra golden doll that made countless money, which can be called an absolutely cost-effective deal for the dairy company.
But now it's different, 7-11 is Yin Jun's, let the milk company come from, where to stay!
After the opening of 7-11, Yin Jun's "Kirin Daily", "Kirin Weekly", and single books can be fully incorporated into this system, and these personnel will be integrated into 7-11, without the need to recruit more people at all.
The price of 630 million US dollars is more expensive than Yin Jun imagined.
But it doesn't matter, there is one thing that is more convenient to do business with Americans, that is, you can pay in installments.
Yin Jun has a loan amount of 2.5 billion US dollars in his hand, which will definitely not be used up within a year, even if it is worse, with the mortgage loans of these three companies, at least 1.5 billion US dollars can be used.
They Americans and Chinese people do this business themselves, otherwise who often has hundreds of millions, billions to buy companies?
Well, I do have it, billions, tens of billions of Columbia companies or Rockefeller Center or whatever, and I just waved my hand and bought it, not bad money.
However, it was precisely because he saw that they were so wealthy, so soon the American father cleaned them up, and the Plaza Agreement began, and the Japanese were beaten down and never got up.
"I know that Mr. Yin, the United Arts Film Company and Disney Company that you are buying now, if you add 7-11, your group company should be regarded as the top three in Xiangjiang, right?" Adam Baker said with a smile: "I don't know if you have any interest in bringing your group company to the United States to be listed? According to your ability to make money in comics and derivatives, I will guarantee you that the minimum IPO valuation can exceed 5 billion US dollars! After listing, it will reach 7 or 8 billion US dollars, which is not a problem at all!" You'll have more money to do what you love!"
Yin Jun had long expected that Adam Baker would invite him over, and he must not just be talking about the acquisition of 7-Eleven.
As a result, he didn't expect him to actually start the idea of an IPO of Kirin Group.
Before the economy overheated in the 90s and junk bonds were rampant, the most favorite thing for the AIB to do was to help others IPO.
Don't think that they only earn issuance fees and public relations fees or something, these big investment banks directly want to take shares, which is called underwriting.
For example, the most famous one, the indispensable listing, Goldman Sachs took a large part of the shares at the IPO floor price, and then they desperately shouted and desperately raised Facebook, and finally there was the emergence of Facebook's market value of 200 billion.
Goldman Sachs also made a lot of profits as a result, making a lot of money.
Although the Kirin Group is developing very well, how can Lehman Brothers still be so interested in this situation, but now it has swallowed two American companies and one independent 7-11 in one go, and has taken on a large amount of debt?
"Which of my industries do you value the most?" Yin Jun simply asked directly.
"Of course, in terms of comics, Kirin culture. Adam Baker said very bluntly: "There are special valuation experts on Wall Street, and they now value your "Kirin Weekly" at $2 billion, and the "Transformers" series alone is worth more than $1 billion. If you leave it to us to do a good job, maybe the IPO can reach $6 billion!"
Okay.
In the blink of an eye, the valuation of 1 billion US dollars has increased, and Adam Baker is very confident, or is he fooling Yin Jun, wanting him to step into the circle of the US stock market.
Then there will be more room for them to operate, and if it is okay to make money, if it is not profitable, Lehman Brothers has a way to make Yin Jun spit out everything he has eaten.
Don't wonder if Yin Jun thinks too badly of them.
In fact, Wall Street people, you think of them as the worst, haven't even reached their bottom line.
"I have no plans to do an IPO for the time being. After thinking about it, Yin Jun said in a deep voice, "What you want to do, you have to wait until I have put the three companies I have bought into operation well, so that I can be qualified to go public in the United States." ”
Adam Baker sighed inwardly.
Sure enough, as Prismson said, although this young man is not very old, he is unusually calm, and a few words are not enough to move him.
But Adam Baker was not discouraged at all, he heard from Yin Jun's tone that this young man still wanted to come to the United States to raise funds and go public, after all, what is wrong with using investors' money to develop his own business?
As long as Yin Jun has this idea, then in three or five years, Lehman Brothers can afford to wait.
As everyone knows, Yin Jun's this is just a delaying tactic.
If I had told Lehman Brothers right now, I wouldn't have been able to go public, because it would be best to keep the company in my own hands.
I'm not Huaguo Petroleum, it's obviously a very lucrative business, and I still have to go to the United States to go public and send money to Americans, I'm not that great.
Not to mention, the future development of the Kirin Group will be far greater than that of Huaguo Petroleum, which is even more unlikely to be enjoyed by the Americans.
With this money, I will help the poor people in the mainland more, and I can repay God for sending me back!
