Chapter 579: Gail Asks for Cooperation
In just one week, Wang Chuanqiu planned the land for the ecological vegetable garden and flower base. Zhao Baliang, Xu Shan and Wei Hao went to the field together and were very satisfied with the location of the ecological vegetable garden and flower base.
"Mayor Wang, it's really hard for you. Zhao Baliang held Wang Chuanqiu's hand and said very excitedly.
"Mr. Zhao is polite, you can come to Dongcheng to invest, we are very welcome. Mayor Huang said that we must vigorously support Mr. Zhao's investment. Wang Chuanqiu also said in high spirits.
The construction of the flower base and the ecological vegetable garden soon began.
During the construction of the Dongcheng Flower Base, Zhao Baliang unexpectedly received a call from Gail. On the phone, Gail said that he wanted to meet Zhao Baliang, "Mr. Zhao, we haven't seen each other for a while, and it's okay if old friends don't get in touch." ”
"Mr. Gale is polite, but you are far away in the Netherlands, and I can't rush there. Zhao Baliang said a little speechlessly, I don't know what Gail meant by calling him.
"Haha...... Mr. Zhao, I am already in Dongcheng now. Gail said with a smile on the phone: "I heard that you have built another flower base in Dongcheng, and I rushed here when I heard the news." ”
Hearing Gail's words, Zhao Baliang was speechless for a while, what was Gale going to do in Dongcheng? However, doubts are doubts, since Gale asked Zhao Baliang to meet, Zhao Baliang naturally agreed.
Zhao Baliang, who was in the provincial capital, drove directly to Dongcheng. At the construction site of the flower base, Zhao Baliang met Gail and others.
Seeing Zhao Baliang, Gail gave him a big hug.
"I don't know what happened to Mr. Gale coming over this time?" Zhao Baliang asked straight to the point. With Gail, there is no need to go around in circles. This Dutchman was a very shrewd businessman. At the beginning, Zhao Baliang signed a gambling agreement with him. However, from the current point of view, Zhao Baliang will definitely be able to repay Gale's money at the end of the year.
"For collaboration, of course. Gail didn't go around in circles, and said directly, "Let's go and sit down over there." ”
Zhao Baliang followed Gail and found a shady place. Gail didn't put on a show, sat directly on the ground, and then said to Zhao Baliang: "I heard that Mr. Zhao plans to invest in a flower base and a hot spring resort here in Dongcheng?"
Nodding, Zhao Baliang said: "Mr. Gale is really well-informed, it is indeed like this, I don't know what Mr. Gale is going to do when he asks this?"
"I want to take a stake. Gail directly expressed his intentions, "Mr. Zhao, if we cooperate, it will be beneficial to you and me, and we can achieve a win-win situation!"
Looking at Gail, Zhao Baliang asked, "I don't know how Mr. Gale wants to cooperate?"
"I intend to invest in your flower base, and we will cooperate fully in the flower industry. Gail directly expressed his intentions, "You have the supply, I have the market." We can work together to achieve a win-win situation!"
Gail's proposal was very tempting for Zhao Baliang. After all, as the chairman of the board of directors of the largest flower company in the Netherlands, Gale has a huge sales channel for flowers around the world.
"Mr. Gale doesn't just plan to invest in my flower base in Dongcheng, right?" Zhao Baliang is not a fool, if it is just to invest in this flower base in Dongcheng, he doesn't need to travel so far at all. Because of this level of investment, there is no need for Gale to come out personally.
"Mr. Zhao is really a smart person. Gail said bluntly: "Actually, I have been investigating Mr. Zhao's industry in Jiangcheng and Dongcheng for almost a month, and I found that Mr. Zhao's seed company is the root cause of so many high-quality flowers in your flower base, am I right?"
Zhao Baliang didn't expect that Gail actually knew the secrets of the seed company. However, from Gail's words, it seems that he only knows that the seeds produced by Zhao Ba's two subsidiaries are very good, but he doesn't know why.
"Mr. Zhao, we have studied the seeds produced by your seed company, and they are very good!" Gail said, giving a thumbs up, "Although I don't know why, your seed company can produce such high-quality seeds, but I can be sure that these seeds are exactly what I need!"
"So, Mr. Gale, what kind of cooperation method are you talking about?" Zhao Baliang asked. He believed that since Gale had come to him personally, he must have already considered the details of the cooperation.
"Very simply, we jointly fund the construction of flower bases in various important flower markets around the world, which can save a lot of transportation costs and greatly improve the market competitiveness of our flowers. Gail spoke straight to his thoughts.
At present, most of the flowers in Gael's flower sales channel need to be flown from the Netherlands to the various sales locations. In this way, the cost of transportation is not a small amount. If you can build a flower base in the local area, you can save a lot of money.
Of course, before looking for Zhao Baliang, Gail didn't have this plan. However, not everywhere is suitable for the growth of flowers. Especially in those places where the price of flowers is extremely high, it is not suitable for the growth of flowers.
It was precisely because of these natural conditions that Gale's plan had to be postponed again and again. And Zhao Baliang's high-quality seeds can perfectly solve this problem. Gale has already confirmed this.
Gail's plan, Zhao Baliang was very tempted. If his flower base is built all over the world, at that time, Zhao Baliang will inevitably grow into a behemoth-like existence. It's just that Gale only said the plan, but not the conditions.
Looking at Gail, Zhao Baliang asked, "I don't know what Mr. Gail's conditions are?"
"It's very simple, your seed company is merged into the flower base, I want 60% of your shares in the flower base, and as compensation, I will forgive your previous loan and pay you an additional $1 billion in cash. At the same time, you will own 40% of the shares of all the flower bases we will build together in the future. Gail spoke his terms.
Although the conditions given by Gail were very tempting, they required Zhao Baliang to pay a more expensive price. If Zhao Baliang agrees to this condition, then the flower base will be Gail's in the future, and Zhao Baliang can only be regarded as a shareholder at best. This is in conflict with Zhao Baliang's interests.
"Mr. Gale, I can't agree to your terms. Zhao Baliang directly refused, "Although according to the current situation, I have gained great benefits from you, but in the long run, it is not cost-effective." ”
The flower base is a hen that lays golden eggs, and so are the seeds, Zhao Baliang will never do anything to kill chickens and take eggs. Therefore, he will definitely not agree to Gail's conditions.
Gail didn't expect that Zhao Baliang would refuse such a lucrative condition. You must know that at this stage, the overall output value of Zhao Baliang's flower base is less than one billion US dollars!
Using 60% of the shares of the seed company and the flower base for one billion US dollars is a very cost-effective deal for Zhao Baliang!
"Mr. Zhao, please think about it seriously. Gail continued: "Not only will I pay you a billion dollars, but you will own 40% of all the flower bases in the future, which is an astronomical amount. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Gale, for your kindness. I have to have absolute control over the flower base, and I will not waver in that. Zhao Baliang said very firmly: "I believe that Mr. Gale is a successful businessman, and you have a longer vision than me." Since you are willing to pay such a high price to obtain 60% of the shares of my flower base, it means that in the future, these 60% shares will create a value of far more than one billion dollars. ”
Gail didn't expect Zhao Baliang to say such a thing, indeed as Zhao Baliang said, he is a shrewd businessman, since he is willing to pay the price of one billion dollars, it shows that in the future, the value that the flower base can create is far more than one billion dollars!
"Mr. Zhao, I can take a step back, I only need 55% of the shares, and the other conditions remain the same, how about it?" Gail made another concession. In fact, all Gale needs is absolute control, as long as he owns more than 51% of the shares.
Continuing to shake his head, Zhao Baliang said, "No." I must have at least 51% of the shares, which is the basis of our negotiations. If Mr. Gale could not accept this condition, then we would not be able to negotiate. ”
"This ......" Gail didn't expect that Zhao Baliang would be so determined. Changing to other short-sighted businessmen, under the temptation of a billion dollars, they had already agreed to his request. After all, a billion dollars is not a small amount, enough to live happily for a lifetime.
"Mr. Zhao, you must know that investing in flower bases abroad also requires a huge amount of money, and these funds will be borne by me. Mr. Zhao, you only need to provide flower seeds, and you can get 45% of the shares of the flower base for free!" looked at Zhao Baliang, Gail said.
Shaking his head again, Zhao Baliang said: "Mr. Gale, what I said is very clear, I must account for 51% of the shares, which is the premise of our cooperation." ”
"Mr. Zhao......" Gail didn't expect that under such a huge temptation, Zhao Baliang could still insist on his requirements.
"Mr. Gale, I know that it takes a lot of money to invest in a flower base abroad, and these investments will be shared by us on a share-based basis. Looking at Gail, Zhao Baliang said: "And the flower base, when you buy seeds from my seed company, you will also get the best price!"
"Mr. Zhao, I always thought I was the most shrewd businessman, and compared to you, I was far behind. Gail burst out laughing. Zhao Baliang's abacus is really good, not only controlling the absolute controlling stake of the flower base, but also finding a huge customer for the seed company, which is really a lot of money!
"Since Mr. Zhao insists, then I agree with your plan, but ...... The billion dollars, but there are no more. Looking at Zhao Baliang, Gail said with a wry smile. Rather than a billion dollars, Gale would rather have a controlling stake in the flower base and seed company.
"Absolutely. Zhao Baliang also said with a smile. While a billion dollars is tempting, it is nothing compared to the long-term benefits. The seed company and the flower base are a hen that lays golden eggs, and as long as there is enough time, let alone a billion dollars, even 10 billion dollars is not a problem!
