Feng Yu and Ke Cilei left and returned to the hotel. At this time, Rondo is holding an emergency board meeting to discuss how to negotiate according to the conditions proposed by Feng Yu.
They cannot agree to all of those conditions. Otherwise, what will Thomson have left? Without business, even if they have money, they cannot restore the glory of the company.
They can only choose to agree to those conditions, and then when selling these assets, they will fight for the greatest benefits, get as much cash as possible, or throw more debts and other non-performing assets to Feng Yu or Philips Group.
Of course, Rondo also knows that this is unlikely. The other party is not stupid, and they obviously have a psychological advantage. The price will not be too high. They need to find a balance point, a balance point that both sides can accept.
Lando believes Feng Yu and his men can afford to buy the entire Thomson Group even if it is up for sale. Didn't you hear that Feng Yu had just acquired a bank in the UK and acquired many related financial companies in North America?
It is said that Feng Yu and Kirilenko are planning to acquire Rito Group, which has a market value of more than 100 billion USD, and its real value can definitely reach 150 billion USD.
When Feng Yu returned to the hotel and sat down, he heard a knock on the door. The bodyguard looked and saw it was the overseas director of Taihua Holdings, Jimmy Zhou, a British Chinese.
"Chairman, the team has arrived. When will we start the negotiation with Thomson Group? Are we going to talk with Philips Group? "Jimmy stood in front of Feng Yu and bowed.
"No hurry. Sit. Have you bought the detailed information of Thomson Group? "
There are also many business consulting companies in Europe. They will investigate some companies that may be sold, and then sell the information to investors who are interested in buying the company.
For example, the Rothschild family has this kind of business.
"Yes, 460,000 euros. It is too expensive." Jimmy is a little distressed. 460,000 euros can buy some patented technology.
"Don't be afraid of the price. This information will help you a lot in this negotiation, right? Time is also a cost. If we can complete the acquisition earlier, we can earn back the 460,000 euros in one day. "
"What's more, there will be some detailed evaluation reports on Thomson's assets, right? It can help us better lower the price, and we can also save this money."
"If the acquisition goes through, not only will the company give you a bonus according to the contract, but I will also give you a week off so that you can have fun in Paris. I will pay for it."
"Thank you, Chairman. We will definitely acquire the best assets at the cheapest price as soon as possible." Jimmy quickly expressed his loyalty.
It was a team of a few dozen people. If they wanted to play for a week, the cost would not be small. The chairman was too generous.
Feng Yu had been thinking about Thomson's sales channels and R&D centers for a long time. If he had not fallen out with Thomson, Wind and Rain's electronic and electrical products would have sold better in North America. Lenovo's and G-Box's sales would have also increased. The European market would also have expanded faster.
Feng Yu knew how important it is for a technology-oriented company like them to improve their technology. Thomson has many excellent technicians and owns many world-class patented technologies.
In fact, Thomson's brands are also very good, but Feng Yu also knows that this is the foundation of Thomson Group. If they sell off the brands, Thomson Group will really cease to exist. The French government will not agree to this as they are the major shareholder of Thomson Group.
It is the same in any country. They will never sell off these national brands. They will easily become the sinners of the nation and will be scolded by the people.
In order to keep these brands, Thomson must also keep some high-quality businesses. The French government currently does not have more funds to invest as they are also in an economic crisis. But that does not mean they are willing to sell off such a big company and brand.
Feng Yu also does not want to acquire all of Thomson Group's factories. Feng Yu is not interested in Thomson Group's factories. The production efficiency is too low, the cost is too high, and there are problems with the management.
Feng Yu cares about the distribution channels and had spoken to Fu Guangzheng. The Fu Family is very interested in this and is willing to set up a joint venture with Feng Yu. They will take over these distribution channels and expand the Fu Family's retail business.
Feng Yu is not good at managing retail businesses and does not have many retailing talents under him. Wu Chih-gang is the best among them.
Since the Fu Family is willing to let Feng Yu invest in the Fu Family's retail business, then it is not a problem to let the Fu Family invest in this retail business. Anyway, Feng Yu and the Fu Family had a lot of cooperation, and the Fu Family is Feng Yu's most important sales partner.
In Feng Yu's eyes, Thomson Group is already a dead flower. Without new funds, it will wither. That's why this acquisition will surely be successful. The only problem is the number of high-quality assets acquired.
At the same time, Ke Cilei was also instructing his subordinates not to compete for some of Feng Yu's and China's businesses. Feng Yu will also not allow his subordinates to compete for some of the businesses that will belong to them. The rest of the businesses will depend on their own capabilities. But Ke Cilei also told his subordinates not to raise the prices too much and let Thomson Corporation take advantage of them. If not, both parties can set up a joint venture to acquire the businesses.
… …
Rondo looked at the board of directors, and no one said anything. In the end, he had no choice but to speak. "We must stabilize the share prices now. Thomson's shares must be resumed trading."
"We will not sell the listed companies' assets. Instead, we must let the investors see that we have new funds. We can even buy back our own shares. With sufficient funds, our operations will improve, and we might be able to recover profits next year or even this year. "
"But we will have to sell those high-quality assets that are not listed to Taihua Holdings and Philips. I had mentioned the assets that they want, and I feel that we should sell some of our R&D centers and industrial parks to them. We can also authorize some of our patents to them, but it must be the same as before. We will exchange the authorization rights and not sell them for money."
"We will try to sell more factories to them. But we are still the world's best when it comes to gateways, internet content, film and TV post-production, broadcasting equipment, etc. We are also the best in the world when it comes to CD production and sales. I suggest we sell some of these businesses and keep the rest."
"As for the sales channels, we have to sell some to them. I suggest we sell some in North America. The losses there are too severe. Although we are the strongest there, we are just an empty shell, just like a car."
"Thomson Group has come to this point, and we have to lower our heads and think about whether our previous decisions are correct. Our group is no longer the same as before. We must recognize the reality and make a decision as soon as possible. This way, we will have more funds to restore our glory! "
