American Fortune Life
Chapter 698: No disappointing David Dunn
In the international division of labor system of the globalized economy, the United States is one of the highest-end countries. The current world economic system is based on the US dollar as a global reserve currency.
In addition, the world economic crisis is based on the United States. The U.S. subprime mortgage institution went bankrupt, the investment fund was forced to close, the stock market violently caused a financial turmoil, and the world financial system lacked some transparent and effective market management. Major global financial markets have experienced a crisis of insufficient liquidity, sweeping the entire European Union and the world ’s major financial markets. As an important EU member country, Britain is unavoidable.
As a country dominated by the financial industry and the service industry, the UK's economy is smaller than the United States, but the financial industry accounts for a larger proportion of the national economy. At the same time, there is a bubble in the real estate market and the external debt problem is not very serious. But the banking industry is not doing well.
"We have held a video conference discussion with the headquarters. Because of the precedent of the United States, there is no suspense for the future policy path of the British government, but whether it is increasing fiscal expenditure or increasing the money supply, it is essentially in With future burdens in exchange for the current economic stability, our plan can smoothly achieve the expected goals. "
William did not stop his report, but because other people were present, he still carried some important things in his words, and he knew the boss understood the meaning of what he said.
"Hehe." Andy smiled calmly and confidently, but in the eyes of David Dunn, he could sense a sense of ridicule, okay, maybe he was a little too sensitive for the British. .
"Under the tight pressure of the financial crisis, the Bank of England has no choice!" Andy said in a cold voice, glanced at the coffee tasting, and looked like David Dunn, who was so far away, turned his head to look Said William: "It went according to plan, and you did a great job this time. It seems that my team's acquisition funds have fallen behind, and I will celebrate with you after the end."
William's face showed an irresistible joy, and he nodded slightly excitedly, "Thank you boss, we will not let you down."
To know that his young big boss is really generous, everyone is envious of the participants of the two predatory operations in the United States and the foot basin. Andy promised in the morning that the more he helped, The more bonuses they get, and they are cashed out at the celebration party immediately after each settlement of funds, this time it is finally their turn to take the lead in the London group, of course, there is also sterling!
Andy smiled with satisfaction on his face, nodded, and William got up to leave, with a happy smile on his face, and walked back briskly. He was already anxious to tell the news to the members.
For this group of jingying men who have been cultivated and can bring him constant wealth, Andy naturally will not hesitate. Instead of paying taxes to the government, it is better to buy people's hearts. This practice is the normal behavior of Wall Street. But for the time being, the entire Wall Street is full of people who are under his Andy Smith group. The young people of the Free City Investment Company have all switched to sports cars. Let other Wall Street colleagues in the dark of job losses and layoffs envy.
"David, how's your progress over there?" Andy still smiled on his face, took a sip of the coffee, and asked David Dunn, who had the same attitude to put down the coffee cup.
"There are no obstacles to others. The key is that there is a huge divergence in the purchase price. The price we give is based on the current market value of 220 million pounds, while Levy bites 250 million pounds. The price is not slack. Negotiations are temporarily deadlocked. "David Dunn answered with a serious expression.
"Well, this Levy is really interesting. Before we contacted him, he was still looking for a foreign investor to buy Tottenham. The British media even said that he always wanted to let Martin Yule get out of class, also because It was decided to sell Tottenham. We paid this price, which was already satisfactory by many parties, and he was not satisfied. "Andy could not help but sneer.
"The main reason is that he was very dissatisfied with our previous 12% stake in the former Tottenham club chairman Allen Suga, and the fans questioned and dissatisfied in some media recently reported that it was also behind him Get some small moves, but these are not enough to worry about, "David Dunn explained.
"Hehe." Andy smiled happily, looked at David Dunn with admiration in his eyes, and to be honest, he felt that the most correct thing for him was to make David Dunn an important place in European football. The heroes of the English football team are extremely wise as their spokespersons.
"Speaking of this, I'm really thankful that you can accept my appointment as the person in charge of the acquisition of Tottenham, the means are simply amazing."
David Dunn heard the young boss's unabashed compliment and a humble smile on his face, but he was well deserved.
When he returned to London with some funds from the negotiating team, he did not directly choose to go out and issue an offer, but first visited the former Tottenham club chairman Alan Suga.
As a long-time rival, Ellen Suga was a bit surprised by David Dunn's visit, but when he learned that David was representing Andy Smith, a young American rich, to buy the Spurs club, the first sentence he asked That is, "Will you become the general manager of Tottenham?"
After receiving a positive answer from David Dunn, the old Spurs' loyal fans retained a 5% stake and sold the other 12% to Andy for 25 million pounds.
Not only that, he also relied on the influence of funds to help David find another major shareholder holding 9% of the shares, Haginuaru and several other smaller shareholders, to give Andy a hand The son has 26% of the shares.
When Andy got the phone report, they felt a little bit aggressive, didn't they clamored for 400 million pounds for sale? It's only been two days since I arrived in London, and I simply got 26% of the shares? It's too fast, and if you want to use people, you must use the best.
Even more aggressive than Andy was still receiving an offer to buy, and he wanted to make a big sale by selling the team, holding 6 percent of the shares. When David Dunn, the once deadly opponent of British football, sat at the negotiating table with a book of equity, Levi knew that he needed to bite with a more vicious wolf than him.
As for the price of the 400 million pounds that the Lion made before, it was directly ignored by Levy. He dared to ask for this price, and David with a calm expression on the other side dared to taunt him. As the helm of the former enemy, everyone was jealous of each other. The situation is very well known, and no one can fool around at all.
After all, he was only a small shareholder. Although he could exercise the power of owner Joe Lewis's shares, but due to the financial crisis, Joe Lewis was still a bit unhappy, and he was waiting for the transaction to be concluded. Getting pounds to alleviate the pressure. Negotiations, not only could not explain to Joe Lewis, if there were no other buyers in the end, it would be really passive.
"The reason Levi keeps biting is because he thinks that Tottenham is located in London and that it is strong and should be able to sell for a better price. He thinks that if Tottenham has a high-quality head coach, it can Greatly increased the appeal of Spurs. So last month Levi also made a special trip to Spain to visit Ramos. Unfortunately, Ramos rejected him. "
David Dunn was very receptive to these Levy's assertions. This Levy's ability is really suffocating. Also, after all, his connections and influence in football are really a hard injury. Some people are not rich. You can ask for it, of course, unless you set a price that is hard to refuse. Although Levy's reasons are recognized, the price must still be based on reason.
You know, at the time, David Dunn had promised Andy that he would give him 400 million pounds of capital. The lower the cost of the acquisition, the more part of the remaining funds will become the operating capital of Tottenham. Whether it's bringing in players, repairing and expanding the White Hart Lane, or rebuilding a new stadium with a little money from a young boss, he will make his life better.
Therefore, his negotiations with Levy have become a battle of words, but the valuation of Tottenham's acquisition has also been suppressed by him to 250 million pounds, which is not far from his psychological price of 210 million pounds. .
"If you can buy it for 250 million pounds, it's not bad for the 40 million valuation, so you can save a lot of night dreams ... Hehe, you are the person in charge and you decide." Andy is a bit worried that the negotiations will be disturbed by other factors or Can't talk about it, and want to end the acquisition as soon as possible. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw David Dunn looking at him with a resentful look. Nima, a middle-aged old man looking at himself with a resentful look, really made Andy embarrassed. Goosebumps.
"Boss, you do n’t have to worry about it, you do n’t have to worry about the reports of the media, what experts, famous places, the opinions of fans, some fans also because the negotiator is me, this former enemy of theirs to the Spurs club to protest and say what To break down the Tottenham plot, huh, it's ridiculous. The London media like to use various eye-catching reports to engage in wind and rain. Most people treat these reports as pastimes and don't care. "
David Dunn knew what his young boss was worried about, but he was just afraid that the talks would collapse, and went on to explain, "Boss, I think you need to meet with Joe Lewis. Maybe you can reach a consensus. Knowing that Mr. Lewis has had a very difficult time recently, this run-on storm has hit the banking and financial circles a lot. "
Andy narrowed his eyes and groaned for a moment while touching his chin. To be honest, he should really see this Joe Lewis, whether it is an opportunity to acquire from the team or contact the British financial community.
"Yes, let you arrange it."
