Section 1026 Purchase of islands

Back on Lindeman Island, the first thing the girls did was not to go to the restaurant for a big meal, but to hurry back to their respective rooms to take a good shower. After staying on a desert island for a week, there is no condition for the girls to take a bath, which has made the girls who love cleanliness almost unbearable.

The three men were also disbanded. has completed the shooting, and the next time can be arranged freely, compared to the girls, several men did not pay too much attention to hygiene, but came to the restaurant first, ready to fill their stomachs first.

Just when Li Jingyuan was eating deliciously, a waiter suddenly came to his side, handed him a note, and said a few more words to him.

Feeling a little strange, Li Jingyuan looked at the content of the note, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, turned his head and ordered the waiter: "Xie Lu, thank you, please help me tell them, wait for me to finish eating, take a bath, and then go to them, wait for me for an hour." ”

It wasn't anything else, it turned out that several of his men had come to the island.

A week earlier, Lee had given the task of acquiring Lindeman Island. Over the course of a week, the work was almost done.

Li Jingyuan has been staying on a desert island all the time, and he doesn't have his mobile phone with him, so his subordinates have no way to report the progress to him. When he came back, he wanted to come forward to report, but he didn't expect him to go directly to the restaurant, and he felt that it was not good to disturb him to eat directly, so these people thought of a way to hand over a note and send a message.

The waiter left, and Li Jingyuan also sped up a little. Finished eating. After another shower, he made a phone call and let the men into his room.

"How. Is the acquisition all done? When doing business, Li Jingyuan's style was very direct, beckoning a few people to sit down, bringing them a few bottles of drinks, and immediately going straight to the point.

"That's pretty much it, President." A person with eyes and a lean-looking look is the supervisor in charge of this task. After hearing Li Jingyuan's question, he immediately took out the information that had been prepared long ago from his bag, and handed it to Li Jingyuan while answering: "Now I just need you to go and meet with the senior management of 'Club Med'." Then just sign it. ”

This acquisition is Li Jingyuan's private act and has nothing to do with the company under his name, so if you want to achieve the most successful acquisition, you must sign it yourself. His CEOs are simply not qualified to do it for him.

Nodding. While flipping through the information in his hand, looking at it, Li Jingyuan found some unexpected content.

"What are these?" Frowning slightly, Li Jingyuan beckoned, beckoned the subordinate to his side, pointed to a clause on the information and asked, "Isn't the task I gave you only Lindeman Island?" What's going on with these extra islands? ”

It turns out that on this information, the target of the acquisition is not only the small island of Lindeman. In addition to this island, several smaller islands around Lindeman Island were also included in the acquisition.

"That's right." Although I already have a draft in my heart. However, after all, it still violated Li Jingyuan's requirements at the beginning, so after being questioned, the subordinate couldn't help showing some nervous expressions on his face, and hurriedly explained to Li Jingyuan: "A week ago, when we contacted 'Club Med' to initiate the acquisition, we got a rather unexpected news - when they bought Lindeman Island, they not only bought this island, but together with the surrounding islands, a total of six small islands. ”

"Lindeman Island is the largest in area, and its location is right in the middle, and according to their original development plan, they are planning to use Lindeman Island as the center, and the other five small islands as satellites, and build a complex resort center."

"Later, because the income from the development of the main island, that is, Lindeman Island, was not ideal, they felt that the investment was disproportionate to the return, so they did not continue to develop the remaining five small islands according to the plan."

After listening to these explanations, Li Jingyuan nodded: "In other words, if you want to acquire Lindeman Island, you have to package and acquire the other five small islands together?" ”

"Yes."

Although he was a little surprised, after listening to so much, Li Jingyuan also understood what would change in the information in his hand. If you think about it from Club Med's point of view, you can understand that the main island has been sold, so what's the use of keeping the other five small islands?

Not only is there no value for development, but if you keep it in your hands, you have to pay some money every year to maintain it. To put it simply, while the backlog of working capital, you have to keep taking out money, and you will only do this kind of pure loss business when your brain is in water.

Rather than this, it is better to pack up and sell it quickly. Even if you take these five small islands as a partner, it is much better than pressing the maintenance fee in your own hands.

And, in general, such deals for the transfer of islands are slow, often taking months from the initial contact to the final agreement.

Compared with the general situation, Li Jingyuan's acquisition this time was very fast, not only did there be no warning, but the process in the middle was also very short. As a result, Club Med was left with the feeling that the other party was spending impulsively.

In this case, Club Med is of course trying to take advantage of it. So, in the process of negotiations, not only did they tie up the other five islands into the acquisition regulations, but they also proposed a slight increase in the amount of the acquisition.

"Ten million dollars?" After knowing that he wanted to buy five more small islands, Li Jingyuan had a premonition that he would have to take out more banknotes, but after he turned over the purchase amount on the information, the price of 10 million was much lower than his estimate.

"Yes, that's the last price. I'm really sorry, but that's all my subordinates can do. Hearing Li Jingyuan's voice suddenly raised, the subordinate standing on the side became a little nervous, which meant that Li Jingyuan was not satisfied with the result. He quickly apologized.

"Hehe, don't be nervous, I'm not angry." I was stunned for a moment. Li Jingyuan suddenly laughed: "Actually, this price is so low that I am a little surprised. Very well done~! ”

After reading the introduction on the information just now, Li Jingyuan slightly calculated the value of the other five small islands. In terms of area alone, although each of the islands alone is not as large as Lindeman Island, they are already the size of two Lindeman Islands combined.

Even if the island's resources are not as good as Lindeman's Island, it shouldn't be too cheap with such a large area. With such an idea. Li Jingyuan felt that the combined price of these five islands should be about the same as Lindeman Island, and it would be about 8 million US dollars.

But now, count Lindeman Island. The entire acquisition cost only $10 million. It is nearly half less than the price estimated by Li Jingyuan of 16 million to 18 million, and this result will of course make Li Jingyuan feel very surprised.

The entire acquisition cost only $10 million, so how much is Lindeman Island worth? Because it is a package acquisition, it is impossible to have the unit price of Lindeman Island on the information. So Li Jingyuan could only ask this question that made him curious: "Let's talk about your feelings." What percentage of the price is Lindeman Island worth? ”

Although Club Med has never said anything about Lindeman's unit price, there are some clues that can be felt throughout the negotiation process. After thinking about it for a while, Li Jingyuan got an answer: "I personally estimate that the value of Lindeman Island accounts for about seventy percent. ”

There was no written basis for this answer, but only the employee's personal thoughts. However, because he was in charge of the entire negotiation. understands all the processes, so his estimation is quite reliable.

"I think it's about the same." Nodding. Li Jingyuan also agreed. In fact, he had a similar idea, and now he just wants to confirm it.

Lindeman Island, $7 million, this acquisition is a bargain. In its original history, in 2012, China's White Horse Group spent 9.7 million US dollars to acquire the island. Comparatively speaking, Li Jingyuan's acquisition this time cost more than a quarter.

Or to put it another way, for the same sum of money, Li Jingyuan not only bought Lindeman Island, but also bought five other small islands.

Well, some people will say, when the White Horse Group acquires, isn't it a form of packaging?

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the answer is yes, it is still cheaper for Li Jingyuan's acquisition in comparison, don't forget that the time he made his move was at the beginning of 11 years, more than a year earlier than the time when the White Horse Group proposed the acquisition.

10 million US dollars is not much for Li Jingyuan, and it can be said to be very cheap; In addition, the comparison with the acquisition of the White Horse Group has another discount. The price is not expensive and there are discounts, and Li Jingyuan, a person who begs for money, is of course extremely satisfied.

In a good mood, Li Jingyuan of course will not forget to reward some of his employees, I saw him stand up with a smile and pat the subordinate in front of him: "Good job, I am very satisfied, after I go back, report to me the list of personnel who participated in this acquisition, and give you a bonus at the end of the year~!" ”

"Yes, President Xie Luxie." Hearing that the bonus was going to be added, of course, several people hurriedly thanked them.

Supposedly, that's the end of the matter. But this is not the case.

Li Jingyuan originally wanted to send these people out, and then go to tell the girls the good news, so that they could also be happy together. However, when Li Jingyuan thought of the girls in his girlhood, another idea popped up in his mind.

"Wait a minute, I have one more thing I want you to do." Stopped the few subordinates who were about to leave and asked them to come back and sit down again, Li Jingyuan continued: "I still want to acquire four small islands, the requirements are not high, just about the same as the five small islands in this information." ”

As a subordinate, you must have a certain eye. When your boss proposes a task, be sure to think about what your boss's purpose is.

Of course, the people who can be in charge of the negotiation are all human beings, so after Li Jingyuan said this sentence very suddenly, several people were a little surprised, but they immediately guessed Li Jingyuan's thoughts.

"President, do you want to make up enough nine islands for the sake of the children of your girlhood?"

Li Jingyuan's proposal was too sudden, and he didn't know that there would be five more small islands in Lu Dao. Therefore, as long as you think about it a little, you will know that this proposal is definitely not something that has been planned for a long time, and it can only be a temporary idea.

So why did you have this idea? And it was pointed out that there are still 'four' islands? Obviously. It's about making up the number 'nine'. Thinking about the people or things around Li Jingyuan that are related to 'Nine', isn't it only girlhood?

Sure enough, after listening to his subordinates' inquiries, Li Jingyuan nodded: "That's right, I can get enough nine islands and name them after the children, which can be regarded as my gift to them." ”

Although under Li Jingyuan's hands, he did not handle a large amount of money. But these people were still stunned by Li Jingyuan's handwriting this time. Not to mention how much it will cost, the mere fact of giving the island as a gift is arrogant enough.

"President. You're a big deal. Subconsciously shook their heads, and these employees couldn't help but sigh. While they were shocked by Li Jingyuan's generosity, they also felt that Li Jingyuan was too wasteful this time: "However, I think it's better for you to think about it carefully." For you. It's true that the cost of maintaining these islands is nothing, but the children of Girls' Generation don't have that ability. Even if you give them the island, it will only add to their burden. ”

"Hehe, no, the gift I said was just to name the island after them, and the ownership will not be given to them."

Shaking his head with a smile, Li Jingyuan did not agree with the thoughts of these subordinates. Although the idea was just now. However, Li Jingyuan's brain was really spinning too fast, just a little bit of time. He had already thought of some options that he could use to balance his payments.

"Besides, the maintenance cost of these small islands is not much, and it is not difficult to earn it back with the help of the resources of the small islands themselves." Seeing the skeptical expressions of several people, Li Jingyuan said: "You don't want to think about how their fans will react when I give these islands to the children and then name them after them?" ”

"Curiosity is for sure, next, as long as we do a little bit of development, plus the scenery here is already very good, still worry about not attracting tourists?"

"Moreover, if you take 10,000 steps back, after borrowing the fame of the girls, Lindeman Island will be more well-known, and the income will definitely increase a little. Can we use this part of the increased income to cover the maintenance of the nine islands? ”

"So I think that if the planning is more sophisticated, it is just a matter of making more and earning less, and there will be no possibility of losing money at all."

Although Li Jingyuan didn't say too much detail, he already gave a direction. After thinking about it in this direction for a while, the few employees in front of him also figured it out.

After nodding his head, the employee who took the lead took on the new task: "I see. President, let's start our investigation and prepare for the next round of acquisitions. ”

"Yes, that's good." Patting the employee on the shoulder with satisfaction, Li Jingyuan continued: "But you don't have to be too anxious, let's rest here for two days before starting the investigation." Expenses can be linked to the company's account, and it will be my reward for you. Of course, this bonus has nothing to do with the year-end bonus. ”

Hearing Li Jingyuan say this, several people thanked them for a while, and then said a few more words, and then exited Li Jingyuan's room.

After sending off these subordinates, Li Jingyuan looked at the clock, and it was already nine o'clock in the evening. Before you know it, hours have passed.

Thinking that the girls must have finished dinner, he didn't go to the restaurant again, but changed into light casual clothes and slowly wandered to the door of Jessica's room.

"Who?" There was a knock on the door, and there was a crisp sound inside, and after a few moments, Jessica opened the door.

"Oh? Are you there too? Jessica wasn't the only one in her room, in addition to her roommate Xiao Sun, Yuna and Little T were also here.

"OPPA, why are you here? Hehe, are you trying to do something bad? Although it wasn't too late, it was already night, so after seeing Li Jingyuan, Yun'er, who was sitting on the ground, showed a mischievous smile and teased him.

"Yah~! What nonsense~! Li Jingyuan didn't react, just smiled, but Jessica was not as cheeky as him, and immediately blushed after listening to Yuna's words. Leaving Li Jingyuan alone, she immediately turned around and twisted into a ball with Yun'er.

"Shun-kyu, do me a favor and go get the other children over too, I have something to tell you." Yun'er and Jessica were just playing, and Li Jingyuan didn't think about stepping forward to dissuade him, he slowly came to Xiao Yang and Xiao T, who were playing games, and gave a word to the two girls.

"I'm busy~!" Xiao Sun was holding the handle of the game console in her hand, where was she still willing to move, but she heard Li Jingyuan's words, but she didn't look back at all, and replied directly: "Let Fany go." ”

"Then I'll go." Little T was considerate, didn't think much about it, stood up and prepared to go out.

"Don't." Although it is not impossible to let Xiao T go, Li Jingyuan just doesn't like Xiao Sun's attitude of completely ignoring himself, so he grabbed Xiao T, and then asked Xiao Sun again: "Are you sure you don't go?" Then you don't have to envy them later. ”

"Huh? OPPA, is it good? Hey, wait, I'll go now~! (To be continued.) )
