Chapter 187 Lin Fei VS Chartered Boat King!

Zhang Yuliang sat in a black limousine, his eyes were like torches, and his expression was serious.

The car drove down the bustling streets of Xiangjiang and finally stopped in front of a magnificent high-end restaurant.

"Father, do you think the charter king will agree to our proposal?"

Zhang Jian asked nervously.

"It's not for sure, but it's worth a try. "

Zhang Yuliang responded lightly, got out of the car and walked into the building.

Zhang Yuliang sat in a private room of a high-end restaurant, with a hint of nervousness and anticipation on his face.

Pushing the door in at the door was the charter boat king, a middle-aged man wearing a straight suit and walking steadily.

"Mr. Bao, I'm glad you accepted my invitation. "

Zhang Yuliang stood up, smiled and shook hands with the other party.

"Mr. Zhang, why are you doing so formally, we are all old friends. "

The charter king smiled and sat down.

"As you know, there are some problems with Wheelock & Co.'s shares, and I would like to discuss with you the possibility of cooperation. "

Zhang Yuliang said bluntly.

When the charter king heard this, he raised his eyebrows: "Wheelock? Isn't that old John George's company? I have been friends with him for many years, and I have never wanted to wade into this troubled water." "

"Yes, but now his son John Jr. has sold his shares to Lin Fei.

So I don't think there's any need for you to shy away from it anymore. "

The charter king groaned for a moment, and then said, "Mr. Zhang, why are you selling?"

"Lin Fei bought Wheelock to expand his influence in Xiangjiang, and if he does control Wheelock, our position will be threatened.

And you have what it takes to compete with him. "

The charter king was thoughtful and then said, "I am indeed interested, but I need to know more about Wheelock's financial situation and future development plans. "

"Naturally, there is no 857 problem, and I will have someone send the relevant information over. "

Zhang Yuliang responded.

"Also, my relationship with John George Sr. cannot be ignored.

Although John Jr. has already sold his shares, I still need to talk to the George family. "

"I understand that it is a personal friendship between you and the George family, and I will not interfere. "

The charter king smiled: "Since this is the case, then it is a word."

I will arrange for someone to assess as soon as possible, and if all goes well, we can negotiate further. "

A few days later, Zhang Yuliang invited the charter king to a high-end club again.

This occasion was more intimate and more suitable for the two to further discuss the issue of equity.

The charter king smoked his pipe and said to Zhang Yuliang: "Mr. Zhang, I have been thinking about it for a few days, this matter is not simple, I need more specific information and figures." "

"Of course, Mr. Bao. "

Zhang Yuliang smiled and took out a carefully prepared document: "This is the financial statements of Wheelock & Co. in recent years, as well as market analysis and future development plans.

You can check it out in detail. "

The charter king flipped through the documents, glanced at them professionally, and then said, "Well, the numbers look pretty good."

But I'm more concerned about why John Madden Jr. is selling his stake. "

Zhang Yuliang narrowed his eyes: "As far as I know, John Madden Jr. wants to sell his equity at a high price and then go to other places to develop."

But he didn't really care about what happened to Wheelock & Co. "

"In that case, what does it have to do with me if he sold it to Lin Fei?"

The charter king took a deep puff of his cigarette and exhaled a cloud of smoke.

"Mr. Bao, you, like me, are friends of old John George.

I don't think you want to see Wheelock & Co. fall into the hands of outsiders, especially someone like Lin Fei. "

Zhang Yuliang's tone was a little inflammatory.

The charter king was silent for a moment: "Mr. Zhang, I understand what you mean, but there are many factors I need to consider.

For example, the price, such as the future profitability of Wheelock & Co., and the integration with my existing business. "

"Mr. Bao, regarding the price, I can give you a very favorable offer.

As for future profitability, I believe that under your leadership, Wheelock will definitely have greater development.

And the integration problem, because you have a lot of resources and connections, I don't think it's a problem at all. "

Zhang Yuliang persuaded.

The charter king nodded thoughtfully: "These are very reasonable.

I'll seriously consider it. "

Zhang Yuliang saw that the charter boat king seemed to have loosened, so he continued to strengthen the offensive: "Mr. Bao, the shopping mall is like a battlefield, if you miss this opportunity, you may never have it again."

Joining forces with you and I can not only promote the development of Wheelock, but also give Lin Fei a check and balance, isn't it a double win?"

The charter king suddenly smiled: "Mr. Zhang, you are right.

The mall is indeed like a battlefield, and now that John Madden Jr. is out of the fight, there is no reason for me to wait and see. "

Zhang Yu's conscience was overjoyed, and immediately said, "Then Mr. Bao agreed?"

The charter boat king glanced at Zhang Yuliang and smiled: "Well, I agreed."

However, the specific terms and prices need to be discussed in detail. "

The meeting place for Zhang Yuliang and the charter king was chosen at an expensive French restaurant.

The two of them sat down in a luxurious private room, where exquisite French cuisine and premium wines were served at the table.

"Mr. Bao, I think there is one more thing that needs your commitment before we sign the equity transfer agreement. "

Zhang Yuliang began to say as he picked up the foie gras.

The charter king raised his eyebrows: "Oh, what is worthy of Mr. Zhang's solemnity?"

"I hope that after we complete the equity transaction, you will be able to fully control Wheelock & Co. and ensure that there is no opportunity for Lin Fei to reverse the takeover. "

Zhang Yuliang put down the tableware and said in a stern tone. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

The charter king took a sip of red wine, and then said: "Anti-takeover, it sounds very commercially strategic.

But I need to know, what's in it for me?"

"You can get a foreign bank that has a lot of weight in the port and shipping industry, which is an excellent capital expansion for you.

At the same time, it is beneficial for you and me to limit Lin Fei to a situation from which he cannot break free. "

Zhang Yuliang said seriously. []

The charter king smiled: "Well, this proposal is indeed very attractive.

So, have you (ahed) thought about how to prevent Lin Fei from taking an anti-takeover action?"

Zhang Yuliang took out a well-prepared business plan: "It details how we can consolidate our control of Wheelock & Co. through asset restructuring and capital operation.

The main method is to use debt swap and additional issuance of new shares to dilute Lin Fei's equity. "

The charter king flipped through it: "Yes, this plan is very comprehensive.

But you know, it takes a lot of liquidity to perform such an operation. "

"Yes, so I suggest that we set up a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) specifically for this capital operation.

In this way, we can keep it confidential and reduce the cost of capital. "

The charter boat king showed an appreciative expression: "Mr. Zhang, you are indeed an economically minded person.

Then, I agree with your proposal and am willing to enter into this equity transfer agreement. "

Zhang Yuliang took out the equity transfer agreement prepared in advance, and the two carefully checked each clause before signing the agreement.

The charter king sits in his luxurious office, overlooking the busy Victoria Harbour outside his window.

Huge cargo ships come in and out, like a never-ending commercial picture.

"Lin Fei, it seems that I am going to compete with you. "

He muttered to himself, twisting a lion-headed statue made of agate in his hand.

He remembered Lin Fei's previous acquisition of Jardine Matheson, and the results of that business war made many people's eyes shine.

In a very short period of time, Lin Fei successfully won Jardine Matheson through a series of complex capital operations and strategic layouts.

"This person is by no means easy to work with. "

The charter king clenched his fists and frowned.

But he took the shares of Wheelock in Zhang Yuliang's hands, and there was no way out.

For a businessman, you either don't do it, or you have to do it to do your best.

"Salute first, then soldier......"

He whispered, got up and walked over to the bookshelf and took out a copy of "The Art of War" and flipped to this page.

Giving salute before soldiering is the embodiment of traditional Chinese wisdom, that is, treating each other with courtesy first, and then taking tough measures if the other party does not accept it.

The charter king decided to test Lin Fei's attitude and bottom line through commercial cooperation first.

"If he agrees, then I will have more time to consolidate my position in Wheelock & Co. and further carry out capital operations. "

The charter king thought in his heart.

But if Lin Fei refused, it meant that a war between the two sides could not be avoided.

"At that point, I will use all means, including buying other companies to expand my capital strength, start a full-scale price war, and even go so far as to engage in a disgusting takeover war to completely crush it. "

The charter king sat in a chair in his office, his hands crossed over his chest, deep in thought.

Suddenly, a picture of the old days flashed through his mind.

It was many years ago when he was a young businessman who was just starting out in the shipping industry.

With a detailed business plan in hand, he walked into the headquarters of Wheelock & Co. with great anticipation, hoping to work with John George, the president at the time.

"Sir, how many wrecked ships would you like to use to cooperate with Wheelock & Co.?"

John George smiled disdainfully as he flipped through the business plan handed over by the charter king.

"Mr. John, though my ship is not large, my determination and plan are not inferior to those of any large corporation. "

The charter king glared angrily at the time, and did not flinch at all.

John George realized that the young man was not pompous, so he put away his contemptuous smile: "Do you have any special proposals?"

"Instead of leaving the ship empty, let me get the goods to their destination at a lower cost.

So that both parties can make a profit. "

The charter king said through gritted teeth at the time.

Impressed by his persistence and the spark in his eyes, John George finally agreed to an initial cooperation with him.

Since then, the relationship between the two has gradually warmed up.

After many cooperations, the charter king gradually won the trust of John George, and finally the two not only had in-depth cooperation in the shipping industry, but also began to get involved in other fields.

"When he laughed at me, I vowed to show him how good I was. "

The charter king himself didn't expect that the setback that year would make him more sure of his determination.

Back to reality, he picked up the phone on his desk and prepared to make a call to John George.

But suddenly he realizes that John George has died, and Wheelock & Co. is about to become the target of his and Lin Fei's rivalry.

He put down the phone and let out a long sigh: "John, if you were still alive, I think you would support me." "。
