The leisurely life of the rich start

After a while, Zhang Da, who was wrapped in a bath towel, said in surprise:

"Mr. Tang, you mean that Fenway Sports Group is willing to start preliminary negotiations with us on the transfer of Liverpool Club?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhang!" Tang Haitao said, "However, I'm sorry, we didn't get in touch with Fenway Sports Group directly, but the Black Rock Group managed to connect us."

"There is no need to apologize, it is also in our plan to ask the Black Rock Group to assist in completing the acquisition."

Zhang Da casually wiped off the sweat on his forehead with a bath towel,

"Mr. Tang, let's do this. Tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, we will organize a mid-level meeting of the investment company to discuss the specific negotiation plan. In addition, I will attend the meeting tomorrow."

Tang Haitao said seriously: "Mr. Zhang, I understand!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Da changed his clothes with a grin.

In his opinion, since Black Rock has already connected with Fenway Sports Group, the final deal should only be a matter of time.

after all…

Otis' desire for the shares of McDonald's in his hands is obviously higher than Zhang Da's desire for Liverpool.

Work and hobbies can't be generalized, can they?

...

Early the next morning, Zhang Da came to the company energetically.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang!"

"Morning Mr. Zhang!"

Amid waves of greetings, Zhang Da pushed open the door of the conference room.

Tang Haitao and the others are already ready for the meeting.

After Zhang Da sat down, Tang Haitao asked:

"Mr. Zhang, everyone is here, do you want to start now?"

Zhang Da nodded seriously: "Let's get started."

"Okay!" Tang Haitao nodded, and then said loudly,

"Dear colleagues, you must know about Fenway Sports Group's agreement to negotiate with our company on the transfer of Liverpool Club."

"The specific summary of the situation has also been typed into a paper draft and sent to everyone."

"Now, please Director Liu give you a specific explanation."

"Director Liu" is named Liu Zijun, and he is also a member of Zhang Da's "Elite Squadron". He is currently serving as the executive director of an investment company.

"Mr. Zhang, leaders and colleagues, good morning everyone!"

Facing the calm Liu Zijun, he immediately got up and said,

"Last night, we received an email from Mr. Otis from the Black Rock Group.

In the email, the other party stated that Fenway Sports Group is willing to transfer Liverpool Football Club at an appropriate price and asked if we want to start negotiations. "

"At the same time, the Black Rock Group proposed that this is a three-party transaction. After the negotiation is completed, they will pay cash to Fenway Sports Group to acquire the Liverpool Club. We will use the shares of McDonald's in our hands to acquire the Liverpool Club from them."

"Okay, thank you." Tang Haitao nodded and said,

"Everyone, this is the current situation. We convened a meeting today to discuss appropriate negotiating strategies. If you have any good suggestions, please speak freely!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an employee from the marketing department introduced:

"Mr. Zhang, leaders, the current international football mainstream data analysis media believes that the total value of Liverpool's players is 11.3 billion pounds, and the club's valuation is 20 billion pounds."

Zhang Da nodded lightly: "So, if we want to complete the acquisition, we must pay more than 20 billion pounds?"

"That's right, Mr. Zhang." Zhang Xiang said, "Before the negotiations officially start, I would like to ask, how much are you going to spend on calls at the Liverpool club?"

Zhang Da immediately said: "Counting the first daily expenses after the acquisition of the club, our budget is 25 billion pounds."

As early as a few months ago, he had a budget in mind.

After all, I want to buy my favorite club, and the price is more expensive.

In short, Mr. Zhang is not short of money.

"Mr. Zhang, our budget is quite sufficient!"

Xu Tianze, who is the director of the marketing department, said,

"I personally think that in this business negotiation with Fenway Sports Group, Black Rock Group will also be our support."

Tang Haitao added: "Yes, Mr. Zhang, Otis is very eager to get the McDonald's stock in your hand."

"That's it...then let's contact Fenway Sports Group first."

Zhang Da said with a smile, "If Fenway Group offers a sky-high price, we can directly put pressure on Black Rock Group."

"There is no free lunch in the world. Since the Black Rock Group wants my shares, they have to work for us! You can tell them that if they can't negotiate a suitable team transfer price, they won't get my shares. "

"However, based on what I know about Otis, if he helps us bargain with the Fenway Group, he will also make some new demands. You must be prepared to deal with them."

"Mr. Zhang, you are still considerate!"

Zhang wanted to flatter first, then said,

"In this regard, we will also make a plan. I estimate that the Black Rock Group is likely to propose a request similar to lowering the purchase price of McDonald's shares, or using cash to complete the remaining stock transactions."

"Your analysis makes sense." Zhang Da nodded, looked towards the securities department and asked, "What is the current market value of the McDonald's stock in our hands?"

A middle-aged man named Xu Lin is in charge of US stock investment:

"Mr. Zhang, as of the close of the U.S. stock market early this morning, the share price of McDonald's is 301.34 US dollars per share, and our total market value is 42.18 billion US dollars, which is 31.15 billion pounds when converted into British pounds."

"I see." Zhang Da nodded and said, "If the acquisition can be successfully completed, the remaining McDonald's shares will still be traded with the Black Rock Group through a share swap."

"After all, if the deal is finalized, we paid for the McDonald's shares in the Liverpool team, which is equivalent to a cash transaction!"

Tang Haitao and others nodded repeatedly: "Understood, Mr. Zhang!"

At noon, Zhang Da returned to the office.

The meeting is not over yet, Tang Haitao and others will continue the meeting in the afternoon to formulate specific countermeasures.

However, Zhang Da didn't have to attend the afternoon meeting.

As a "fishing" boss, you can't do everything yourself, can you?

But soon, a matter that required him to do it himself came to the door.

Ding Ran sent the floor plan of the villa.

Zhang Da clicked on the design drawing on the computer WeChat while typing to reply to the message.

"Okay, brother dei, you are fast!"

Ding Ran who was sitting in front of the computer suddenly froze.

Come on, doesn't it sound like a compliment?

In the end, he hesitated and replied, "Thank you Brother Da..."

Ten minutes later, Zhang Da replied:

"Can you move the elevator to the left, and I can get through the bedrooms on the second floor."

...

"Also, help me move the screen at the door 5 centimeters to the left."

Of course, the last sentence was just a joke.

Ding Ran rubbed his dark circles, "forced a smile" and said, "No problem, Brother Da!"

Chapter 273 Three-Party Transaction

"Sir, we have received an email from Mingda Investment Company."

Two days later, Otis, who was far away in Citigroup, received a report from his secretary just after he went to work.

"Very good," Otis said calmly, "You go and ask John and Bob to come over. I'll wait for them in the small conference room."

"Okay, sir."

Soon, "Fat and Thin Toutuo" came to Otis's small meeting room.

Otis was not polite at all, and said bluntly: "Bob, contact Fenway Sports Group, we have to be ready for negotiation."

"No problem, sir." Bob nodded, "Is there anything else you want to order?"

"Tell Henry that stingy guy to come up with a sincere offer. In exchange, I will invite him to join the group's next investment operation."

Otis said, "As long as we take this batch of McDonald's shares, we can control McDonald's board of directors. At this time, I don't want to waste too much time on unnecessary wrangling."

Bob nodded again: "Yes, sir, I remember."

"Boss, please forgive my rudeness. I think that if we do this, those Chinese people will benefit the most."

John hesitated, "The last time we traded with Mingda Investment Company, we paid a lot of money, this time..."

"John, it looks like you haven't quite figured it out yet."

Otis interrupted him with a smile,

"Once the talks about the Liverpool club can be successfully concluded, we think it's like buying billions of McDonald's shares in cash, you understand?"

"Now, please think about it carefully, what is a real bargain."

...

"Mr. Zhang, our initial online contact with Fenway Sports Group went relatively smoothly."

Soon, Zhang Da received Tang Haitao's return,

"The other side has expressed their willingness to transfer the club and offered an offer of 25 billion pounds. We are going to conduct the next round of negotiations with the Black Rock Group. I believe the price can be lowered a lot."

"Additionally, Otis wanted as much cash as possible for the remaining shares. I countered that and made a share-for-share request."

"I see, let's move on to the negotiations."

After listening to the report, Zhang Da nodded and said, "In addition, we need to prepare another batch of anti-epidemic supplies, and we must be prepared to go abroad for negotiations."

"Understood, Mr. Zhang!" Tang Haitao said, "The team for overseas negotiations has been formed, and everyone in the team has been vaccinated."

"Well, okay." Zhang Da said, "Add a little bit more. In the future, the company's isolation due to business trips will all be regarded as overtime work on weekends, and double wages will be calculated."

"Let Zhang Zhi formulate the specific system."

"Thank you Mr. Zhang!" Tang Haitao hurriedly got up and said, "On behalf of all my colleagues in the company, I would like to express my thanks to you!"

"It's nothing, you deserve it." Zhang Da smiled, "One more thing, has the team management started recruiting?"

"We are already recruiting!" Tang Haitao said, "We also plan to poach two team managers from the Southampton team in the Premier League."

Zhang Da's expression became subtle in an instant.

Good guy, the Liverpool team has poached players from the Southampton team in recent years.

How come Tang Haitao didn't even let the staff of the Southampton club go unnoticed?

You can't always get a sheep to squeeze the wool, can you?

...

The team acquisition plan is moving fast.

On the one hand, the Black Rock Group has contributed a lot to it.

On the other hand, Henry, the owner of Liverpool, has been really struggling financially recently.

As an owner mainly engaged in the sports industry, besides Liverpool, there are many other sports clubs under his Fenway Sports Group.

These sports clubs, without exception, have been affected by the epidemic.

League suspension, empty games...

Various unfavorable factors led to a sharp drop in his income.

Now, it is a good choice to be able to cash out at a high position when Liverpool has just won the league championship.
