Since "Crazy Robbery", Xu Anhua has been very popular with the Golden Horse Awards. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the second day when Yin Jun asked Zhou Yan to talk about "Prison and Prison", Xu Anhua took him, Zhong Chuhong and the crew of "Autumn Fairy Tale" to Moss North to participate in the award ceremony of the Golden Horse Award on Treasure Island.

Not surprisingly, "Autumn Fairy Tale", which won 8 nominations, has become a big winner.

Zhong Zhiwen won the Golden Horse Award for Best Cinematography for the second time, and Zhou Yunfa also won the Best Actor, one more award than in his previous life, but it was Yin Jun's Best Screenplay Award.

Yin Jun naturally did not go over, and Xu Anhua accepted the award and delivered a speech instead of him, which made the organizers and fans of Treasure Island regret it.

The Hong Kong Film Awards will try to hold the first edition next year.

All Chinese-language films that are released as of December 31 are eligible to participate in the film selection.

Early January is the time for all judges to start voting, and all nominations will be counted around January 15th, and then the results and awards will be announced in mid-February.

is different from the previous life, the Xiangjiang Film Awards, like the Treasure Island Golden Horse Awards, are all Chinese-language films selected, not only Xiangjiang movies.

In the previous life, the Xiangjiang Academy Awards were too narrow, so they were lonely in the end.

It's just that they still feel good about themselves every time, but they don't know that this is the same as the emperor and queen selected by TVB's thousands of stars, outsiders only seem to laugh.

If this is not the case, Yin Jun has no need to engage in the Xiangjiang Academy Awards, Shu Qi is a very professional and serious talent, and it is much more suitable to do this than himself.

The reason why the boy did not go to Baodao was that Pulison, the general manager of the Xiangjiang office of Lehman Brothers, who had not replied some time ago, suddenly called yesterday and said that he was going to visit Yin Jun at the headquarters of the Kirin Group this afternoon.

Foreigners also go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and his sudden arrival made Yin Jun feel refreshed and feel that there was hope for his affairs.

After being put on the table by Niu Bijian, Yin Jun thought about simply taking down the 7-11 brand and letting Hongkong Land also taste the bitter fruit.

When Yin Jun started, he wanted to hand over the matter to Goldman Sachs, but when he picked up the phone, Yin Jun put it down again.

The cunning rabbit still has three holes, and if he has to rely on Goldman Sachs for everything, it will not be a good thing.

Therefore, the teenager looked at the investment bank in Xiangjiang and chose Lehman Brothers.

Don't get me wrong.

Lehman Brothers in 1980 and Lehman Brothers in 2008 are not at all conceptual companies.

Since falling into subordinated debt, Lehman Brothers has been in complete disarray.

But before that, Lehman Brothers was very fierce and pressed Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley down.

Therefore, it is not a problem at all to hand over the deal to Lehman Brothers, as long as they are willing to take it.

Many companies in the United States have an interesting habit in the eyes of the Chinese, that is, they simply do not refuse to raise funds to give up their shares, or even sell their companies.

Maybe it's because they feel that after realizing the value of their lives, they can sell the company and enjoy it.

Or maybe they still have a lot of different ideas, looking forward to one success, with these rich rewards, to create another success.

Anyway, most companies in the United States, especially listed companies, basically have nothing that they will not sell as long as the price is right.

The last time Prismon had dinner with Yin Jun, and listened to Yin Jun's desire for the 7-Eleven convenience store brand owned by Southern Company, he said that he would go back to study it carefully, and contact the US headquarters, and after a discussion, he would contact Yin Jun.

But after more than ten days, Prieson did not reply, and it was not until today that there was a result.

When I saw Prismon again, an American of Swedish origin, he had a smile on his face.

"Congratulations, Mr. Yin. Sitting on the sofa, Prismon said to Yin Jun: "We have been in contact with the executives of the Southern Company, and they are very interested in the fact that you want to buy the brand and rights of 7-Eleven. ”

"Good work. Yin Jun drank tea and asked calmly, "What are their conditions?"

"The specifics have not been officially given yet, but we have learned about it from the side. "What they probably mean is that 7-Eleven sells for $800 million, but they want to keep the right to operate in the United States, but they will pay for the regional agency according to the rules of Japan, Mexico and Treasure Island." ”

"Now that 7-Eleven's Japanese regional agency has been sold, and the largest base is in the United States, they have taken all of this, what else do I want? Can't I only operate in Xiangjiang?" Yin Jun spread his hands and said, "Didn't I tell you last time? Price is not a problem, but I must have the most complete brand and rights." ”

"I know that too. Prismon laughed, "So during this time, we Lehman Brothers have also communicated well with them, but they are still a little reluctant to change the conditions." ”

"But as far as I know, Southern, like other American companies, has been trying to diversify lately, such as real estate, oil, food factories, large department stores, and so on...... But they continue to expand with money. Yin Jun said lightly.

"Hey, I didn't think that Mr. Yin, you even knew this. Pulisson didn't even change his face, he changed his point of view just now, "In fact, after our continuous efforts, the Southern Company has finally loosened its attitude. They're going to sell you the 7-Eleven brand for $3 billion. ”

Yin Jun looked at him speechlessly, "Plison, you have been working in Xiangjiang for 10 years, do you think the richest man in Xiangjiang has personal assets of 3 billion US dollars?

"It doesn't matter if you don't have money. "We at Lehman Brothers can take the lead and help you borrow $3 billion from major banks, as long as you use 7-Eleven and Kirin Group's properties as collateral." ”

Boy.

I was plotting against others, but I didn't expect that there were still people plotting against their own assets.

Yin Jun can imagine that according to the character of Lehman Brothers, he will definitely do enough in the loan contract, and it is okay if his business is in good condition, but if there is any mistake, even the Kirin Group will lose everything.

Seeing so many cunning and insidious cases of investment banks in later generations, Yin Jun will not take it lightly.

But he is not so stupid, he goes straight to the point, and sometimes pretending to be stupid will have a good effect at a critical time.

"Forget it. Yin Jun shook his head, "I still can't afford this price, it seems that I am too aggressive...... Thank you, Prismen, you can bring the bill for the consultation fee upfront. ”

Prismon had known that Yin Jun would say that.

After all, he carefully studied Yin Jun's development history and knew that although this young man's career was very smooth, he was doing things step by step, very down-to-earth, and there were no risky measures at all.

At most, his asset-liability ratio was only 37%, not even half of it.

Now it is even more exaggerated, there is no arrears, the money used is all his own, and even the more than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars for the acquisition of Jiashi has not been loaned at all.

In this way, the Kirin Group is steadily moving forward step by step, which has to admire Yin Jun's outstanding ability.

"Don't do that. Prysson grinned, "The Southern Company is actually just a lion's mouth, and in our opinion, in fact, Mr. Yin, there is no need for you to buy American assets at all." Because the operation and development in the United States require very focused energy, your company in Xiangjiang, the cultural atmosphere is only in Asia, removing the part of the United States, it is equivalent to 800 million US dollars to package the rest of the global business, what's wrong?

Not to mention anything else, I think places like Xiangjiang, Singapore, Thailand, Britain, Germany, and France have very good development potential! Not to mention how terrifying the development prospects will be if the Chinese market opens up in the future. If you make them all, the return you will probably not be less than $800 million a year, right?"

In the eyes of Prismon and Lehman Brothers, $800 million should be the limit that Yin Jun can afford, so they want to make this business happen.

In addition to at least $20 million in consulting and operating expenses, the best thing is to be able to get involved with Yin Jun, greatly keep up with his pace of development, and get a share of his business empire in the future.

Although it is not necessarily that Yin Jun will succeed, investment banks also cast a wide net to accumulate resources, and if one out of ten can succeed, they have already earned.

"It's easy to say, but these countries and regions don't have any foundation at all, and if I want to develop, I have to spend at least $800 million to lay the outlets, which I don't know can be completed in the Year of the Monkey. Yin Jun continued to shake his head and said, "The price of 800 million is too expensive, if I can add Japan, a market that has done well, it will be about the same." ”

"Japan?" Prismson said with a smile, "Japan has obtained regional agency rights at a high price in 73 years, and every year 7-11 is just a small amount of agency royalties from them, which has nothing to do with the US headquarters at all." In January of this year, the unification of Baodao also learned from them and bought the 7-11 regional agency of Baodao, otherwise if you can get the market of Baodao, it is actually quite good. ”

"Forget about Takajima, I think Japan is pretty good. Yin Jun groaned, "Can't you do a little bit of work from the legal level?"

"How is it possible? This is a breach of contract, and you have to pay a lot of liquidated damages!" Pulisson said in shock, "Mr. Yin, you won't be here for real, right?"

"Can you help me check how much this liquidated damages are?" Yin Jun asked him.

"We have these contract materials in our hands...... "Presson hesitated for a moment, "I'll call and ask someone from the company." ”

With that, he got up and picked up the phone on his desk, called Lehman Brothers' Xiangjiang office, and got an answer in about 5 minutes after explaining the situation.

"The buyout fee in Japan is $100 million, and if you want to default, it's five times the amount, which is exactly $500 million. Prismon said to Yin Jun, "The treasure island side is less, only 30 million US dollars, and the liquidated damages are only 150 million." ”

After a pause, Plisson added, "I don't know why you think the Japanese market is good. Although there are more than 1,200 7-Eleven stores in Japan so far, they are still losing money, and the Japanese prefer to take care of the expensive little shops of their neighbors rather than the more modern and convenient 7-Eleven. In my opinion, with the stubborn mentality of the Japanese, I am afraid that 7-11 will not develop very well. ”

"I just think that Japan has a population of 150 million and a developed economy, so there should be opportunities for development. Yin Jun smiled and said, "Since it's so expensive, forget it." However, I am actually quite optimistic about the development potential of these countries and regions that you just told me, but this is a long-term development process, and I need to pay a lot of money and energy for this.

So if Lehman Brothers can help me bring the price down to less than $700 million, I'm willing to pay $40 million. If you can keep the price below $600 million, I'm willing to pay $70 million. If the price is only $500 million, then I'll pay you $100 million. ”

Prismon swallowed.

Now is not the time for 2020 when the purchasing power of the dollar has dropped significantly.

It's 1980, and the dollar is still very valuable, and you can buy a lot of good things, let alone a full $100 million.

But he could only think about it.

It is possible to press the 800 million US dollars of the Southern Company, but it is absolutely impossible to press it to such a low level of 500 million.

But this method of motivation has worked very well for Lehman Brothers.

After a deep sigh, Prismon nodded, "Then, please leave this matter to us! The negotiated price will definitely satisfy you, Mr. Yin!"

Lehman Brothers' energy in the United States is very large, and the Southern Company is just an ordinary group company, with an asset share of less than $5 billion, and it is not a rival of Lehman Brothers at all.

Moreover, the Southern Company is a diversified company.

They have quite a few large supermarkets, their own ice cream factories, and some farms.

7-Eleven Company occupies a very important share of the asset sequence of Southern Company, with a value of about 2 billion US dollars, and an annual profit of about 200 million US dollars, which is not a small profit, but it is not much.

Among them, the main asset value and profit are naturally their more than 2,000 stores in the United States, and the regional licensing fees for Japan, Mexico and other places are only a relatively small part.

Yin Jun wanted to buy 7-11 with full ownership, but the Southern Company didn't do it, so he quoted a sky-high price of 3 billion US dollars, wanting to scare Yin Jun away.

But they are still more interested in Yin Jun's purchase of 7-11 rights and interests outside the United States, after all, their focus is only on the United States, and they don't care much about the development abroad, otherwise they would not easily sell the Japanese regional agency rights of 7-11.

Anyway, the Southern Company now wants to develop substantially, to make its own department store bigger, to make its own home country 7-Eleven, and they also want to participate in those very profitable industries.

It would be great if Yin Jun could spend $800 million to buy 7-11 and leave the American 7-11 to them.

In their opinion, it is simply a white wolf with empty gloves, and he has obtained such a large amount of cash for nothing.

Prismson was already aware of their thoughts.

Now he told Yin Jun how difficult it was, and he was deliberately exaggerating the difficulty, so as to seek more benefits for Lehman Brothers.

But Prismon didn't expect that Yin Jun's attitude towards 7-11 was so resolute, and he was willing to pay so much intermediary fees to let him help negotiate the price.

At this moment, Prismon is extremely serious.

If you can earn 70 million US dollars for the company, it will be a great achievement, and your promotion is just around the corner!!
