Canada's second largest telecom operator, Rogers, is worth more than 15 billion USD. It might not seem high, but considering Canada's population, it's understandable.
But if Feng Yu wants to acquire this company, he will need at least 20 billion USD. Feng Yu had asked his men to evaluate the three largest telecom operators in Canada. Rogers, the second largest, is worth about 18 billion USD. For example, Rogers has a strong broadband network, lots of branches, and many engineers. These are the assets of this company.
Including the premium, Rogers should be worth about 20 billion USD. If this company falls into Feng Yu's hands, he can integrate it with his North American businesses, and its market value will soar.
But compared to Mexico's telecom tycoon, Carlos, this company's status is far behind. Carlos has a monopoly in Mexico. Carlos owns more than 90% of the telephone business, 70% of the mobile phone business, more than 70% of the internet business, and more than 70% of the computer retail business. Carlos's computer retail business is also the largest in the US.
Carlos also owns the construction, mining, food, tobacco, retail, hotel, finance, etc. businesses in Mexico. Carlos also has many investments in the US, France, etc., and his status in Mexico is very high.
Feng Yu has never thought of being a monopolist. Monopolists will bring lots of trouble and will be attacked. Others don't care if what you are doing is legal or not. Monopolizing is not good.
Feng Yu wants to be the leader of the industry, and all his businesses are developing towards this goal.
For example, Wind and rain mobile phones are the industry leaders and are slowly evolving to become the leader. L-Pad, AIWA, Sixth Sense, etc. are also the industry leaders, but they are not monopolists.
No one had ever accused Feng Yu of being a monopoly tycoon. But everyone has to admit that Feng Yu has the right to control many products and industries.
People hate monopolists, but leaders and leaders can only be envied and envied. After all, they are the ones leading the industry to a better direction.
Superman Li had agreed to Feng Yu's conditions and is very confident. But Feng Yu is worried.
What was there to worry about? He was worried that he didn't have enough money.
This time, the final profits have not been calculated, but Feng Yu's investment of tens of billions of USD will be able to make almost 200 billion USD.
With such a huge amount of investment and such a high profit, anyone would be grinning from ear to ear, but Feng Yu felt that the money was not enough.
Polar Bear Mining Group wants to acquire Rito Group, and Kirilenko felt it was not worth it to be listed. That's why he is willing to let Feng Yu invest more and own more shares.
Kirilenko had made at least a few billion USD this time. But this Rito Group is too expensive. If Kirilenko wants to buy it all, he will need at least 150 billion USD, and he will need to invest at least 10 billion USD. Kirilenko cannot afford 80 billion USD.
Kirilenko had raised most of his investments from loans and the funds he had raised from a financial company in Moscow. Kirilenko's cash is only around 50 billion USD. After all, he still needs to save some cash to invest in his other businesses and enjoy his luxurious lifestyle.
If Feng Yu wants to acquire Rito Group, he will need to prepare at least 100 billion USD, and it might not be enough.
Feng Yu had to take a loan to acquire the supermarket chain in the US. Although he is not the only one paying, he is the major shareholder and still needs to fork out a few billion USD in the end. If possible, Fu Guangwei suggested Kirilenko to acquire another supermarket chain in North America. This way, Kirilenko will be the second largest supermarket chain in North America, behind Walmart. If Kirilenko can acquire another supermarket chain in Western Europe, it will be even better.
Kirilenko had invested in many banks and related businesses in the US and Europe, and this is another 30 billion USD investment. To develop these businesses, repay their debts, and expand, Kirilenko needs about 20 billion USD of investments.
The acquisition of Canada's Rogers Telecom will cost another 20 billion USD.
Feng Yu had also invested a large sum of money in China's charities. The yacht companies he had invested in were also expanding and building, and they had made a lot of money.
Kirilenko also wants to invest in some ports to ensure the transportation channels will not be controlled by others. Although Kirilenko has some shares, it is too little. Kirilenko will need to invest at least 20 billion USD in this cooperation with Superman Li.
Most importantly, the internet industry is burning money. Although many internet companies under Taihua Holdings and Wind and Rain Holdings had been listed and raised funds, the internet is burning money fast.
However, the Internet burned money too quickly. If they wanted to continue expanding, they would need more money. Feng Yu does not like to share his money with others. That's why he had agreed to let those companies issue new shares, and he must have the priority to buy them first.
Although the new shares are non-voting shares, Feng Yu doesn't mind as long as he has the rights to get dividends. Furthermore, to raise funds to invest in the financial market, Kirilenko and Fu Guangzheng had sold many internet companies' shares. Now is the best time for them to buy back the shares.
Feng Yu realized that his 200 billion USD profits and his initial tens of billions of USD are not enough to cover his expenses.
Kirilenko still wants to set up a large conglomerate. Unless he can get other partners to invest, he will not be able to compete with the world's top conglomerates in the short term.
Setting up a large conglomerate is complicated, and the other party must be willing to cooperate with you.
Kirilenko is willing, but he might not have the final say in the company. Many people in Russia had complained that Kirilenko had taken advantage of the government when he started his business, and he had donated a lot to Russia over the years.
Fu Guangzheng is the future head of the Fu Family. If he joins Feng Yu's conglomerate, what will happen to the Fu Family? The Fu Family does not want to be tied to anyone, and the final say will be in someone else's hands.
The Li Family, He Family, and the rest will not join. They can still do well even if they do not work with Feng Yu.
Feng Yu suddenly realized that even the World's Richest Man, who still has lots of money hidden away, is worried about money.
Seems like someone else is going to take advantage of this opportunity.
