Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- The original AMC theater chain had 5,010 movie screens. Legend has it that it was sold to Xiao Qi by Paul Allen for US$2 billion.
There are currently only 2,000 movie screens in the Odeon cinema chain. If the price is calculated based on AMC, it will not exceed US$900 million at most.
But the price cannot be calculated like this.
Everyone in the industry knows that the price Paul Allen sold to Xiao Qi AMC was only a symbolic US$1. Could it be that Odeon Cinemas can still be sold for US$0.50?
And it was Paul Allen who wanted to buy Yahoo from Xiao Qi, so he lowered the price to give it to Xiao Qi.
It¡¯s different now. Now it¡¯s Xiao Qi who is begging Tai Fung Capital to buy Odeon Cinemas, so the price should go up a bit.
"We haven't made a decision on whether to sell it specifically, but we can have preliminary negotiations." Robbie said, "I will take this sincerity back to the executives for discussion. As long as most people think it is okay, then The transaction will be successful. Otherwise, you can only say sorry."
"It doesn't matter. Business is not about business, but benevolence and righteousness are. We will have opportunities to cooperate in the future." Li Dachao pretended to be generous.
He will not tell Robbie that his father Li Chaoren has long told him that although it is important to make good friends with the British, it is more important to maintain a close relationship with Xiao Qi, so this first round of helping Xiao Qi will definitely Do it beautifully.
There are some words that Li Chaoren did not say to his son, but Li Dachao also understood in his heart.
If after ten or eight years, Li Chaoren leaves, and after he and his brother separate, if the relationship between him and Xiao Qi is still not good, then even if he is the one who inherits most of the Li family's property, sooner or later, I'm afraid The title of Hong Kong's richest man will fall on his younger brother.
By then people will have something to say.
"Look at Li Dachao. He inherited Li Dachao's 28 billion US dollars in vain, plus his own billions of US dollars, and ended up being defeated by his younger brother who almost started from scratch. What a coward!"
"So, it is not necessarily good for the predecessors to plant trees and for the descendants to enjoy the shade. Look at Li Xiaochao who works hard on his own, and look at Li Dachao who relies on his father. The gap will appear immediately!"
""
Words like this must be very unpleasant to hear.
Li Dachao usually appears in people's sight with a dull image, but it does not mean that he is a dull person. On the contrary, he is very smart.
Therefore, Li Chaoren asked him to handle the matters entrusted by Xiao Qi. He also knew that this was the best way to build a relationship with Xiao Qi.
You help me, and I help you, back and forth. Isn¡¯t it familiar?
Of course, what Li Dachao is saying now is purely a negotiation strategy. He expressed his attitude at the beginning, and now he shows that he will not let him control him. The degree in between must be mastered by masters to be able to occupy it in the negotiation. Advantage.
Robbie is no newbie either. He was not surprised by Li Dachao's reaction.
"Mr. Xiao Qi is very optimistic about Odeon Cinemas. We are proud of it, because everyone knows that as long as Mr. Xiao Qi likes something, the price will be doubled in the future." Robbie said, "So, If Mr. Li doesn¡¯t offer us a price that makes us happy, I¡¯m afraid it will be difficult to negotiate this business.¡±
"Mr. Luo Bi, you are wrong." Li Dachao said: "If Xiao Qi bought the company himself, it would be extremely worthwhile. But this is different. This is Xiao Qi's gift to his confidante. Just Just like the AMC and Huaguo theater chains, you must know that these theater chains are still making huge losses since the establishment of the Kiwi Cinema Line. Xiao Qi has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in it every year. Such a business, If Xiao Qi had made it himself, he would have sold it to someone else long ago. "
Robbie nodded.
" Of course, the purpose of Li Dachao's negotiation with him was stated at the beginning, so before he came, he learned a lot about the information about the Kiwi Film and Television Group and knew that Li Dachao was not lying at all. Indeed, the theater chain has been losing money.
But he couldn't agree with Li Dachao, "What you said just proves that Mr. Xiao Qi is far-sighted. Think about it, if the movie theater business doesn't make money, will he give it to his woman? What will he do? After establishing a domestic theater chain, he then acquired the AMC theater chain, and then acquired the Odeon theater chain? Isn¡¯t it such a waste of money? If you just give away some loss-making business to your woman, wouldn¡¯t you be afraid? Is she unhappy?"
Li Dachao immediately felt wary.
As expected, he is an old fox. He simply goes straight to his heart.
In fact, Li Dachao himself thought so too, but he couldn't figure out why Xiao Qi was so optimistic about the future of the film market.
Because input and output are not the same at all?Proportion.
Thoughts flashed, Li Dachao smiled and said, "This matter is Xiao Qi's private matter, we don't need to talk about it for the time being. Regarding the situation of the Odeon Cinema Line, we have also done some investigation and evaluation before. According to the country and city where it is located Considering the surrounding environment, we feel that our offer of US$1.2 billion to Odeon Cinemas is very sincere.¡±
While speaking, he placed a piece of information in front of Robbie.
Li Dachao spent more than 7 million US dollars investigating the situation of Odeon Cinemas and Weiyou Cinemas, but he also obtained the most detailed data.
Originally, the think tank thought that US$810 million was the appropriate price, but considering that this time he was asking for a sale, Li Dachao decided to increase his offer by almost 50%.
Robbie was stunned when he heard this, picked up the information and read it for a while, then nodded slowly, "I think this quotation reflects Mr. Xiao Qi's sincerity. But we have to go back to discuss the details. "
??Indeed, Robbie basically knew the situation and annual revenue of Odeon Cinemas very well. He felt that Xiao Qi¡¯s offer of 1 billion was very flattering, but he didn¡¯t expect that the price would be 1.2 billion US dollars.
Considering that the revenue of Odeon Cinemas in recent years is basically a super low profit of about 5%, Robbie believes that if it can be appropriately increased by another 100 or 200 million US dollars, it is not impossible to sell it.
Li Dachao breathed a sigh of relief, and as Robbie stood up, he shook hands and said, "We look forward to good news from Mr. Robbie."
¡¡
Li Dachao is worthy of being the son of workaholic Li Chaoren. In just an hour, he arrived at a large golf course in the suburbs of London to play golf with Duke Sage.
Duke Sage is already 73 this year, but he is still very strong, speaks very clearly and is full of energy.
After the game, Li Dachao was already sweating profusely from exhaustion, but Duke Sage simply washed up and still looked full of energy.
"Mr. Duke, you are the best I have ever seen at your age." Li Dachao drank coffee and praised sincerely.
"Haha, I am already old. If I were ten years younger, I would still have to swim 1,000 meters every day. Now I can only swim 200 meters. They are afraid that I will be injured." Duke Sage said with a smile, "Mr. Li, you can see Come on, you seldom exercise, right? Mr. Xiao Qi is much better than you at this point."
"Oh, have you met Xiao Qi?" Li Dachao was stunned, "But I didn't hear him talk about it."
"That was two years ago. Mr. Xiao Qi went to attend a dinner organized by Motorola in New York. I had met him at that time, but there were many people at the time and he didn't recognize me." Duke Sage sighed, "At that time I wonder why emerging talents such as Amazon, Oracle, and Green Pine Capital are rushing to join Mr. Xiao Qi. At that time, Mr. Xiao Qi¡¯s Fairy Company was relatively famous, but it was far less famous than it is now. And I am mainly engaged in the real economy, so I didn¡¯t join in the fun. Now that I think about it, I was really too conservative! If I had jumped in and got some shares of Dreampad, where would I have gotten Branson today? Are you proud of the little guy?"
"Haha." Li Dachao smiled. It was not the first time today that he heard others sigh like this.
¡°I think the British are still very conservative in how they do business, so they often miss opportunities in emerging industries like the Internet. The same goes for Xiao Qi¡¯s Fairy Company.
"I already know your purpose of coming." Duke Sage said, "Weiyou Cinema is a gadget I made when I was young. It's not really a way to make money. If Mr. Xiao Qi wants it, I'll sell it for 600 million U.S. dollars." Give it to him and I¡¯ll make some money from the world¡¯s richest man!¡±
"ah!?"
Li Dachao was shocked. He didn't expect the negotiation to go so smoothly this time.
Don¡¯t you say that Duke Sage is the most rigid and rigid?
Why are you so easy to talk to?
Although the price of US$600 million is not cheap, it is more than 10% cheaper than the first quotation given to Terra Firma Capital!
"Of course, don't be too busy to be happy, I have a request." Duke Sage smiled.
I knew it!
Li Dachao nodded, "You said, as long as it's about money, you don't have to worry, Xiao Qi is willing to make more friends."
"Is my old man short of money?" Duke Sage glared at him, "I'm not short of money! The agreed 600 million is 600 million!"
¡°Of course he is not short of money. In fact, he is the richest man in Britain, which is a little worse than the two families in India, but they are not authentic British.
Li Dachao asked, "Then what is your request?"
He has now noticed the word "request".
Usually this means that he wants to ask Xiao Qi for help.
Then this will be easier to handle. Not only will he successfully buy Weiyou Cinemas, but it will also make this old man who has a strong influence in both political and business circles in the UK owe Xiao Qi a favor. This is something more important than money. .
Oh, I forgot to mention that Duke Sage is also one of the shareholders of Terra Firma Capital.
"Haha, it's nothing. You can ask Xiao Qi to call me. It's more convenient." Duke Sage smiled with his yellow teeth showing, looking like a cunning old man. (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
