Invest in the club of Monaco?
Leibonolev was stunned. This was a bit unexpected. He didn't expect Lin Feng to invite him to join the Monaco Football Club.
"What? Is Mr. rebonolev not interested? " Lin Feng was surprised by rebonolev's reaction.
"Ha ha, it's not like that. I'm very interested in investment. In fact, I'm willing to invest to expand my visibility. But there's a problem right now, and that's that I don't have that much cash. Now all my cash is in Russia to develop Russia's first hybrid car. I don't have that much money to invest in football Rebonolev sighed helplessly.
"To be honest, my capital is mainly in Urals potash fertilizer company. Although the company makes a lot of money and profits are very high, the profits I bring every year are used to invest in my car company." Rebonolev was a little embarrassed to say.
"Look, Trina's going to have a baby soon. I haven't thought of a present for her yet." Rebonolev sighed, "originally I wanted to give her the best adult gift, but now, I can't do it!"
Lin Feng frowned slightly. This sounds strange. There's something interesting in the words of rebonolev. What does he want to say?
"Mr. rebonolev, do you mean Lin Feng asked with a smile.
"Well, I know that Mr. Lin is a very patriotic person, and China is the largest potash fertilizer demand country in the world. The potash fertilizer of Urals potash fertilizer is not only high-quality, but also cheap. Compared with the potash fertilizer company of Canada, I also have a geographical advantage. So, Mr. Lin, are you interested in acquiring all my shares in Urals potash? " Leibonolev threw out a word that shocked Lin Feng to speechless.
Selling ural potash? This is really amazing!
"Well, ray... Mr. rebonolev, please forgive me for asking again. You just said you were going to sell the Urals potash company to me?" Lin Feng is really a little shivering at the moment. It's too exaggerated and speechless. This Urals potash fertilizer company has a net profit of US $3 billion a year. He just sells it to himself. No one will sell it.
"Ha ha, that's right. I bought Urals potash just because it was worth investing in. In the past ten years, I have contributed a lot of money. But my ambition is not here. What I am really interested in is cars. I want to be a car tycoon in Russia. So if there is an opportunity, I am willing to sell ural potash to the right people in exchange for enough funds to develop the automobile industry that I am interested in. " Raponolev said with a smile.
Urals potash company is just a profit resource preyed by rebonolev in the turbulent times of Russia. In fact, he has no interest in Urals potash. This can be explained by the fact that rebonolev has only been to Urals potash fertilizer company three times in the past ten years. Of course, even if you don't like it, Urals potash is a profitable company and will never sell it at a low price. As for selling to Lin Feng this time, it's very simple, because he thinks this time will be a good time to sell ural potash fertilizer company at a high price.
He owns more than half of the shares of Urals potash fertilizer company. Although Urals potash fertilizer company is not listed at present, according to the annual profit margin of Urals potash fertilizer and the demand for potash fertilizer in the Chinese market, rebonolev believes that more than half of his shares can be sold for 15-18 billion US dollars! His wealth will also expand here because of this transaction.
As for whether Lin Feng will buy it or not, he believes it is not a question. It's impossible for Linfeng not to buy it. Potash fertilizer is too important for China's agriculture. Even if Lin Feng doesn't buy it, the Chinese government will buy it. It's a rare opportunity. If you miss this time, there will be no next time.
Lin Feng was naturally moved at the moment. It's a rare opportunity. Although we don't have enough funds, we can raise funds through the second bank. Moreover, I believe that as long as we talk about this matter with the state, the state will definitely give its full support and will agree to it no matter how much it costs. So money is not a problem.
But Lin Feng still doubts why rebonolev wants to sell the Urals potash company. You know, potash is a real profiteering industry. At present, the world's major potash companies have established two alliances, namely BPC (Belarusian potash alliance) established by ural potash company and Belarusian potash company, and North American potash alliance composed of Canadian potash company, Canadian Jiayang company and American Canadian joint venture Meisheng company.
The two alliance companies occupy two-thirds of the market share, forming an absolute monopoly on potash fertilizer, controlling the price and enjoying the era of huge profits. Why should rebonolev sell such a lucrative industry? It doesn't make sense!
"Mr. rebonolev, I'm really interested in Urals potash, but I have two questions. First, will Putin agree? Second, what's the price? " Asked Lin Feng.
"Ha ha, on the first point, it's very simple. I will go to talk with President Putin in person, and Mr. Lin has a close relationship with President Putin. I believe President Putin won't mind; As for the price, I'm going to sell 18 billion dollars! " Said the lion. Although his psychological price is $15 billion, it's sky high, but now Lin Feng is such a good buyer, he naturally wants the lion to open his mouth.
18 billion dollars! According to the current profit of Urals potash fertilizer, it will take at least 12 years for the investment to recover the cost. It will take about 20 years to calculate the relevant interest. Only after 20 years can we start to make money. In terms of the rate of return on investment, the price is not very high. However, one of the problems to be discussed is whether potash profits will always be so huge. This is what we need to care about.
Now potash is profiteering, but will it always be profiteering in the past 20 years? Of course, the price is negotiable. It's 18 billion US dollars. This is the price offered by rebonolev. It doesn't mean that Lin Feng has to accept it. Bargaining is the basic quality of businessmen.
"Mr. rebonolev, with regard to the acquisition, let me think about it. In this way, if I stay in Monaco for three days, let me think about it." Lin Feng said in a deep voice.
"That's it. These three days, I will have a good time in Monaco, a beautiful country, and wait for the good news from Mr. Lin in three days. " Rebonolev smiles and nods. He has seen the desire to buy from Lin Feng's eyes, not surprisingly, three days later, the two sides should reach an agreement. The difference is just how much the final purchase price is. This is not a big problem for rebonolev.
18 billion US dollars is just a price he casually offered. If he can get 12 billion US dollars in the end, he will be very satisfied. More than $10 billion, he can take it. As for Lin Feng's invitation to join the club of Monaco, no matter how he joined, he would be very happy. As long as he has money, he is willing to spend it. He enjoys the pleasure of spending more than the pleasure of making money.
Three days later, Lin Feng and rebonolev met again.
"Rebonolev, as for Urals potash fertilizer company, I am willing to buy it, but the price is too high." Lin Feng said with a smile, "the profit of Urals potash fertilizer company is really amazing, but after three days of my understanding, although potash fertilizer company is still a profiteering industry, with the investment of potash fertilizer from various countries, many small companies are seizing this market one after another. It is very likely that in the future, the potash fertilizer market will fall into a dilemma, and perhaps now this monopoly alliance will break down."
Lin Feng said nothing about this speculation. Of course, it's not pure nonsense, because in 2008, there will be an unprecedented world financial crisis, when the world economy will stagnate and global commodity trading will be limited. Although potash fertilizer is an agricultural product, it will also be seriously affected by the whole financial crisis. After all, if you produce so many agricultural products, there must be buyers. In the financial crisis, everyone's consumption level will decline, which will naturally endanger agricultural products. Potash will also be affected. Moreover, many small potash fertilizer companies have been seeking breakthroughs due to the monopoly profits in recent years. Under the financial crisis, there will be a breakthrough.
Therefore, Lin Feng can never offer such a high price. In any acquisition before the financial crisis, we must be cautious, and carefully assess the transaction risk and the profit return that may be brought to us in the future.
Rebonolev was silent, but he was shocked. He doesn't know about the financial crisis, but he knows one thing, that is, the contradiction between the two major alliances of potash fertilizer company is growing. Because before, the potash fertilizer produced by both sides was sold by their respective alliance. This will naturally lead to unfairness in the distribution of profits. In particular, several major potash companies, such as Urals potash and Canada potash, one has a 20% market share and the other has a 24% market share. Together, the two companies have nearly half of the global market share. And its product quality is also the best, but the profit is not so high. Businessmen seek profits! No one doesn't want to make more money.
There are signs of division, and there will be chaos in the world. Therefore, rebonolev does not want to have a headache in the future, so he chooses to sell and cash in time.
"Mr. Lin, how much do you bid?" Asked rebonolev.
"Hehe, eight billion dollars! This is a very suitable price for Urals potash company at present! " Lin fengxiao said.
Raponolev frowned. The price is too low! Moreover, Lin Feng's counter-offer is more than half. It's time to buy clothes!
