Li He knew that most of his competitors were Korean companies and some British companies. As for the Americans, their focus might be on Kiev and Moscow. They had the biggest piece of meat there.
As for the Japanese, from the information he got, the situation of the Japanese enterprises is not very good. Although it was a bubble before, they still have considerable profits. If the company wants to invest, it is very easy for them to get loans from the bank.
For example, the real estate industry was booming. Their fixed assets, which used to be worth 1 million RMB, had increased to 10 million RMB, and they had 9 million RMB of profits.
When the banks saw this, they would give them a loan of 7 million RMB. There was nothing wrong with that.
When the Japanese companies got the loan, they saw that the stock market was making money so quickly. Why would they want to invest in real estate?!
They would just continue to invest in the stock market or real estate!
The bubble was getting higher and higher.
The scariest thing was that there was leverage, and the bubble would get bigger and bigger.
Through this incident, Li He understood how ruthless the Americans were. After making a short bet, some of the gamblers went bankrupt and could not pay their debts. However, the Americans knew how to play. These debts were packaged into derivative financial products and put into the financial market with the promise that they would make money in the future. But those buyers who believed in promises, whether they were individuals or groups, lost completely in the end.
Now, the Japanese bubble had burst, and Li He did not think that they still had the ability to compete with him.
That was why he could turn a blind eye to the Japanese.
When Yarni saw that Li He was about to leave, he ran over.
"Mr. Li. Mr. Li. "
Li He stuck his head out of the car and lit a cigarette. "There are currently more than 440 researchers and experts in this factory. If you can convince at least 100 of them to go to China, I will give you 100,000 USD. 100 people is the bottom line. If there is one less person, your reward will be 1,000 USD less. This means that if only 80 people are willing to go to China, you will only get 80,000 USD! Translate for him. "
After listening to Jiang Baojian's words, Yarni was both happy and troubled. "Many people can't eat bread and potatoes anymore. If there's a job, they'd definitely be happy. But many of them have parents and children. You know, it's very difficult."
Li He said, "They can bring their family members with them. At the same time, they will be paid a monthly salary based on their qualifications. The minimum salary is 100 USD per month, and if it's a PhD, it can reach 500 USD. You can't just find incompetent workers to fool me. If they don't have the ability, I won't give you a single cent. Go, I'll wait for your news. "
"100 USD?" Jarni couldn't believe it. In his impression, the people of China weren't rich.
Li He said, "Before we go, there will be a settlement fee and a contract. You don't have to worry about that."
"It will be as you wish." Yalni left happily.
Yuan Ming suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said to Li He, "I forgot to mention that once the handover is over, the first thing to do is to seal the data room."
Li He said with a smile, "Master Yuan, you don't need to tell me. I have already arranged it."
Then he asked Ding Shiping to drive away.
Yuan Ming heaved a sigh of relief. "You're really generous."
He didn't expect Li He to be so rich. He had spent close to 100 million USD without even blinking.
Li He smiled and said, "It's just that I started speculating early."
Yuan Ming said helplessly, "You, you're really bold. I think your current plan is quite big. You're poaching people and buying a factory. Let's not talk about other things first. How are you going to transport the equipment back? "
"Didn't Comrade Liu Baoyong tell you?"
Yuan Ming said, "Let me make a suggestion. Isn't it popular to do joint ventures now? How about we do it?"
"Joint venture?" Li He still didn't know Yuan Ming's identity.
Ambassador Xu said, "Comrade Yuan Ming is the minister of the Ministry of Aerospace."
"Deputy minister," Yuan Ming said with a smile.
"Hello, hello." God knew how shocked Li He was! It wasn't because the other party had a powerful background! It was because history had changed! He had been in the unit for so many years. He knew all the heads of the unit!
Otherwise, how could he continue working?
However, he had never even heard of this Yuan Ming who had suddenly popped out! He thought that he was from another unit!
What had changed? He really didn't understand!
Although he was shocked, he still had to hide it.
Ambassador Xu continued to introduce the person sitting in the front passenger seat. "This is Secretary Liu from the electronics group."
"Hello." Li He also shook hands with him courteously. It could be considered as a new acquaintance.
Secretary Liu said, "I think this is a good suggestion. In 1988, our optical fiber factory was a joint venture between Chang 'an's cable factory and Japan's Guhe Electric Company. Last year, Pujiang's Yongxin Color Picture Tube Company was also a joint venture between Pujiang Vacuum Electronics Company and Hong Kong's Yongxin Company.
"Department Head Yuan, Secretary Liu, I'll listen to you two. What do you think?"
Department Head Yuan waved his hand. "In the end, it still depends on the organization's opinion, not my personal opinion. Staff Officer Liu has already sent a report. We'll wait patiently and be mentally prepared. "
"No problem." Li He obviously wanted to do a joint venture. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to handle it alone.
If he could form a group under the aviation department, he would be rich in the future. Whether it was the Aviation Science and Technology Department or the Aviation Industry Department, they would have at least a dozen listed companies.
In the next few days, Li He acquired several factories. Among them were two machine tool factories. However, it was not an open bidding, so he didn't spend much money. Iron Ear gave each factory director 60,000 USD.
He only spent a total of 700,000 USD on these four factories, including the cost of public relations!
He couldn't believe it himself!
Yuan Ming and the rest accompanied him the whole time. Their mouths were crooked from laughing.
They had been here for quite some time, and Li He's mouth was bland. He couldn't stand eating potatoes and bread every day!
All he wanted now was a bowl of mutton giblets soup!
He wandered aimlessly on the streets with Iron Ear. He didn't look at the map or ask for directions. He just went wherever he went, hoping that there would be a legendary gourmet restaurant. However, he was disappointed. There were very few restaurants here. There were only a few restaurants that catered to foreigners. However, the smell of butter permeated the air.
The public security outside was not good. At least, Ivanov and Ding Shiping's fists had not stopped since they left. Those who fell to the ground were either thieves or robbers.
Li He was eager to try every time, but the two did not give him a chance.
There were many bookstores here. He wandered into one and flipped through a few books. Most of them were in Czech, German, and English.
He was going to buy a Kafka. Although he couldn't understand it, it would be good to show off.
As soon as he turned around, the bookstore owner saw his face and shouted at him, "Go, out!"
"What?" Li He still didn't understand what was going on.
The old man said angrily in broken English, "It's only open to the old Braq people!"
"Okay." Li He gave him full marks for this pretentious act.
He walked out of the bookstore under the old man's smug gaze. He turned to Iron Ear and said, "Find out who the owner of this bookstore is. If he's selling it, I'll pay three times the price. If he's renting, I'll pay three times the price. My request is simple. Get this old man out of here! Hurry up, I'll wait here. "
After Iron Ear left, Li He sat on the stairs opposite the bookstore and smoked with Ding Shiping.
A girl in a Bohemian-style short skirt walked past him. The unique floral print elements and the casual cut of the skirt had the liveliness of a young girl. It was full of elegance, and he couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Tie Hefei brought a chubby old man over.
The old man said, "My friendship with Scheck is unbreakable."
He turned a blind eye to the stack of US dollars that Ding Shiping took out.
Li He nodded at Ding Shiping again, and Ding Shiping took out another stack.
The old man's eyes suddenly lit up, but he continued to be tough. "Mister, you're profaning our friendship! How can such a small amount of money buy friendship! I've been friends with Scheck for twenty years! "
Ding Shiping added another stack.
The old man continued to be stubborn.
Li He impatiently stood up and pretended to leave, "Yes, or.
，no?”
"Yes, yes, I don't think Scheck will blame me! If we really have a friendship, he will understand how difficult my life is! " The old man did not hesitate to put the five thousand dollars into his pocket and said, "I'll go talk to Scheck now!"
Li He nodded happily.
Not long after, there was a fierce struggle and cursing coming from the bookstore.
The owner of the bookstore, Scheck, stood outside the door and cursed at Li He.
Oriental people who want to go to hell!
He was yelling about calling the police.
Li He had an indifferent attitude.
He said to the owner of the house, "I want him to move out today. He must move out today. I'll pay for the breach of contract. I'll take over the house tomorrow. "
The owner of the house naturally nodded vigorously.
"Let's go."
Li He also felt a little bored. Since he was bored, he naturally had to find something to do.
The Czech election finally came to an end, and Havel won without any suspense.
The Czech government began to implement a series of privatization policies in July. They wanted to convert most state-owned enterprises into joint-stock companies and attract domestic and foreign capital to invest.
The investment banking team hired by Pan Youlin had all arrived in Prague.
In order to save time, Li He entrusted all the acquisition business to the investment banking team. After all, they had rich experience in international mergers and acquisitions. They also had high hopes for the consulting fee this time. If they wanted to get the consulting fee, they naturally had to try their best to close the deal.
Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, Rhine Capital, Bank of Zurich, and Bank of Boston First were all people who had dealings with Li He. Most of his shares in Yuanda Group and Golden Deer Group, as well as the United States, Hong Kong, and Malaysia, were entrusted to them. As for the funds, most of them were deposited in UBS, HSBC, and Bank of Boston First.
William Shi of Goldman Sachs was an old acquaintance of Li He's, and they chatted as soon as they met.
As soon as he arrived, he dispelled Li He's thoughts about Skoda. "What I said may be against my professional ethics, but for the sake of our good working relationship, I still have to remind you. Volkswagen had already commissioned Rhine Capital and BlackRock to secretly acquire Skoda shares. If it wasn't for the fight with Renault, this acquisition would have been over long ago. Also, due to the good relationship between Germany and the Czech Republic, I don't think your chances are high. "
"Thank you." Li He listened to William Shi's advice.
"If you are really interested in the automobile industry, I have a suggestion."
"What is it?"
"Have you heard of Romania's Aro Jeep Factory? The "ARO" jeep factory was the only jeep factory in Romania. After 1989, the factory was in a state of paralysis. The Romanian government wants to hire a large foreign company to buy Aro Jeep Factory, but no foreign manufacturer is willing. "
"You really want to sell it?" Aro Jeeps were very famous in China, especially Aro 243 and Aro 244. They were common models in the army and government buildings.
After Shi Weilian nodded affirmatively, Li He decided to accept it!
Li He was very dissatisfied with Pan Song's efficiency in poaching people in Eastern Europe. He simply asked Pan Song to hire lawyers, consulting companies, and spy companies in the capitals of Eastern Europe, and let these companies do the work of poaching people. Of course, they would do it if they had the money.
Liu Baoyong replied quickly and revealed to Li He his proposal to build a science and technology park. The Ministry of Aeronautics and Astronautics, the Fifth Research Institute, and the Electronics and Information Group would be the leaders in a joint venture with China.
There was no problem in other aspects. The only problem was the shareholding ratio.
There was no fixed standard to judge whether a company's shareholding structure was reasonable or not. The shareholding structure that was suitable for the company's actual situation was the most reasonable for the company.
But what was the most reasonable?
He did not understand.
On the other hand, even if he had the controlling stake, would his words count?
In the end, after thinking for two days, Li He held a meeting with the delegation. "As you all know, I will be acquiring at least 20 companies in the Czech Republic alone. I will be acquiring at least 5 major industries and 11 medium industries, such as machinery and equipment, general components, and so on. They might be of use to you all. But the leather and plastic industries will not be of much help to you, right? " “
Liu Baoyong said. "Just as you said, you will be in charge of the civilian industries." “
Li He smiled bitterly. "I know all these, but as you all know, I don't have enough stamina. If you are done choosing, I will bring some of the experts back with me. But first of all, communication will be a problem, and accommodation will also be a problem. “
Yuan Ming said, "We respect your opinion very much. Go ahead and say it. “
He was embarrassed. He knew that Li He's money was flowing out like water at this stage. And they could not just take the benefits and do nothing.
Li He said. "I have my own leather factory and leather shoe factory, so I can bring back all these equipment. The experts from the Soviet Union can also use their expertise. But there is one thing that I will bring back. Without the help of my comrades from the Bureau of Foreign Experts Affairs, I will not be able to do anything. For example, I am preparing to build a new automobile factory. I just acquired Arrow Motors, and there are more than 400 engineers in that factory, and most of them are willing to go back with me. You all can't just sit back and do nothing. I hope we can help each other. "
He was putting in the money and effort, and he could not do it for free!
Yuan Ming said. "We are not interested in your automobile factory. You can have the sole proprietorship. We will help you with the translation. As for the land, we will help you fight for it if you choose the place. You will have to ask Comrade Xia Li about the automobile production qualification. “
"I represent the Ministry of Industry. I promise there will be no problems." Xia Li, who had just returned from China, finally spoke when he heard Yuan Ming's question.
"What about the forging factory?" Li He asked again.
Yuan Ming thought for a moment and said, "I suggest a joint venture. The Fifth Research Institute and the Yangzhou Machinery Factory can form a joint venture. You should be familiar with the Yangzhou Machinery Factory. It is a large factory with more than 30 years of history in the production of forging machines. As for the shareholding ratio … "
Li He smiled and said, "I don't want a controlling stake in this, but I want to share all the research results."
Yuan Ming said, "That's even better. Let's transport the things back first, do an asset valuation, and then discuss the details. How about that? "
"No problem." Li He smiled and agreed. If there was no mature factory to drive the digestion, Smila would be a pile of scrap metal.
Therefore, he agreed with this plan.
The light industry was basically owned by Li He, with Yuan Ming and the others assisting. As for machine tool manufacturing, they were all joint ventures between the research institute and similar mature companies. A total of five companies were negotiated.
Li He only sought a controlling stake in an instrument factory because he also owned a new electrical measuring factory that Hu Dayi had built to produce strain gauges.
Xia Li was very trustworthy. A few days later, Yang Yong happily called and said that the car production qualification procedures had been completed. At the same time, the science committee member, Mr. Chen Zutao, was also willing to be the chief engineer of BMW.
What was even more unexpected was that the Hangzhou Municipal Committee was willing to support Baobao Car to settle in Xiaoshan, Hangzhou. They had planned a 500,000-square-meter plot of land for use.
Li He was very pleased. It was not that he did not repay them.
The domestic relocation team arrived. There were more than 100 people and more than 10 sets of simple equipment.
They were the relocation workers of the domestic petrochemical company. They were very experienced in large-scale projects like petrochemical. They were not afraid of large oil storage tanks and petrochemical equipment.
Li He did not need to care about these. He only needed to arrange for Chen Dadi, Yu Dehua, and Yang Yong to take over.
Without noticing, it was already September.
Li He had only spent a total of 300 million USD. He wanted to continue spending.
He called home. To his surprise, Li Lan could call him father on the phone.
He cried tears of joy.
