1003 The Shopping Mall Is the Jungle Society

After finishing Juice King Company, Xiao Feng stayed with Helen and went back to San Francisco.

Mountain View is nice, but he has other things to focus on, so visiting Silicon Valley will have to wait until next time.

The reason why he was in a hurry to go back to San Francisco was also because he received a call from Mr. Wan.

The acquisition of Voegelin is on the horizon, Mr. Wan invited him to Los Angeles for an interview.

The distance from San Francisco to Los Angeles is not close, so Xiao Feng planned to fly there.

The Falcon 8X he ​​just bought, Xiao Feng is not yet fresh.

Taking the Falcon, they landed in Los Angeles within two hours.

Then he drove straight to Wan Gongzi's home in Los Angeles, and Wan Gongzi's home was in Beverly Hills.

In the most expensive location in Los Angeles, his half-mountain mansion just overlooks the beautiful scenery of Los Angeles.

The environment is really nothing to say, and the neighbors around are all rich and powerful people with extraordinary backgrounds.

Most of them are Hollywood star directors, or they are also famous and wealthy in California.

Xiao Feng has seen many luxury houses like this in American movies and TV dramas before.

I didn't expect to be able to come in for a walk today, let alone this feeling is quite good.

"How about it? Do you want to do something here?"

When Xiao Feng was standing in the courtyard of the villa, overlooking the city of Los Angeles, Mr. Wan came to him unknowingly.

"Forget it. I won't come to the United States often in the future. Buying a house is also a waste."

"It's a shame to spend so much money to buy a house for gardeners and servants."

Xiao Feng laughed and said, while Mr. Wan smiled and shook his head.

In fact, what Xiao Feng said is true, many rich people like to invest in real estate.

Buy a set here, buy a set elsewhere, but throughout the year, you can't live there for a few days.

It was a great house, cheap enough for the gardener and the servants.

And such a good house is not easy to rent out.

It costs a lot of money to maintain the house every year, and there is also a property tax to pay.

Even if the house has room for promotion, Xiao Feng doesn't think such an investment is a good deal.

Besides, think about the need for an island of your own in the Kalapago Islands.

Over there, you want scenery with scenery, places with places, and what kind of luxury house do you want to live in.

You can build it yourself, and you don’t have to pay taxes, so why buy a house here.

"By the way, you have something to talk to me about today, how about it? Is there any prospect of Voegelin's acquisition?"

Xiao Feng turned his head to ask Mr. Wan, but what he saw was Mr. Wan's wry smile.

"That's right, there is a clue, but unfortunately it's not good news."

"Oh? What's going on, did Voegelin change his mind?"

In fact, they came to the United States this time, but they have not been able to meet with Voegelin and enter the orbit.

Xiao Feng felt that there should be something strange about it, now that Mr. Wan said that, Xiao Feng didn't find it strange.

But what he didn't expect was what Young Master Wan said next.

"Well, Voegelin didn't change his mind, but something went wrong on my side."

"Huh? What's going on, you want to quit?"

When Xiao Feng heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

This Voegelin's plate is not small, and the lowest offer made by Voegelin's boss Stefano is 55 billion US dollars.

As long as they can afford the money, Voegelin's CEO Stefano will help with other shareholders.

And it can also help to get the trade union.

After all, he is the largest single shareholder of the company, holding 40% of Voegelin's shares.

But the key is that you still have to accept Voegelin's 18 billion debt.

Calculated in this way, if you want to acquire this company, you will need to spend at least 73 billion U.S. dollars.

It turned out that Xiao Feng and Wan Gongzi partnered because he had insufficient funds.

Moreover, Mr. Wan was the matchmaker for the project, so he planned to partner with Mr. Wan to do it together.

What he planned at the time was that he would sell the gold jewelry in his hand.

In addition to the cash deposits of the Ninth Laboratory and the Celebrity Chef Group, part of the equity of the Celebrity Chef Group was pledged.

It can also make up more than 30 billion US dollars.

And Mr. Wan can also come up with more than 20 billion U.S. dollars, so that they can raise enough of the 55 billion U.S. dollars that Stefano asked for.

The remaining 18 billion US dollars in debt, they plan to take over the company.

I am going to discuss repayment plans with major banks and financial institutions.

Anyway, these banks and financial institutions don't want to see Voegelin go down.

It would be great if someone could repay the loan for Voegelin.

But now Mr. Wan suddenly said that he didn't want to play anymore, which caught Xiao Feng by surprise.

Originally, he thought there was a problem with Voegelin, but he didn't expect that it was Mr. Wan who had a problem.

He had cooperated with Mr. Wan several times before, and he felt that this guy was quite reliable. Why did he lose the chain this time?

"Hi! Some things are really hard to describe..."

Mr. Wan glanced at Xiao Feng, and naturally knew what Xiao Feng was thinking.

"You also know that our family is not as good as before, so keep a low profile."

"What kind of business does our family do, and now every move is watched by someone."

"Before our family bought a lot of assets overseas, it was criticized by many people."

"A few years ago, the bank refused to lend to our family and asked us to repay the loan. At that time, our family was under great pressure."

"Fortunately, my dad adjusted his business ideas in time, and still operate with light assets...you know..."

Although Mr. Wan just said superficially.

But Xiao Feng knew that the series of slapstick operations by their family back then were really frightening to watch.

To be honest, after watching that scene, Xiao Feng can understand why so many rich people like to immigrate overseas.

It's a pity that Mr. Wan's family moved too slowly before...

You can see how good the owner of a hotpot chain restaurant is at playing, and directly transferred assets to overseas trusts.

At that time, it's useless no matter how difficult you are for me, anyway, you can't take the money away.

And whether it's the godfather, Da Dongzi, or the game horse, everyone plays like this anyway...

Is it the land of the king in the whole world, and the land of the land is the king's minister!

Who is not afraid of the man-eating thinking of the second disciple of Confucius and his disciples!

"Before we did chain drugstores, we still couldn't hide it, and it also attracted some attention."

"The controversy is still relatively large, but after all, there are many shareholders, so the controversy finally subsided."

"Originally, I did this acquisition very secretly, and I didn't disclose the slightest bit of news in China."

"But I don't know which damn thing leaked the news. Now someone in the country knows that I want to spend a lot of money to buy Voegelin..."

"No, someone called me yesterday, so brother, this time it's really..."

When Mr. Wan said these words, his expression was quite helpless.

Although what Mr. Wan said was an understatement, Xiao Feng knew that it must not be that simple.

For example, he had a dispute about running a pharmacy before, but it finally subsided.

With the word 'quiet', I don't know how much effort they spent and how many concessions they gave.

In the past twenty years, anyone who has made money in China, no matter how big or small, likes to emigrate abroad.

Why?

It may be 'they think the moon abroad is rounder than the one in China'!

Anyway, Xiao Feng has listened to the teachings of many little pinks in recent years.

Gained a lot of knowledge, the moon abroad is certainly no rounder than the domestic one.

In addition, those who run out must not be clean to make money? ? ? ?

reflection? Reflection is not, never will be!

(I can’t be playing to my death... Hey! Sigh! Forget it, I’d better have a pink dream...)

Young Master Wan has already said it so frankly, what else can Xiao Feng say.

He could fully understand the helplessness and aggrievedness of Mr. Wan, so he walked over and patted Mr. Wan on the shoulder.

At that time, his father insisted on leaving Bincheng and moved the company headquarters to Beijing.

But as the saying goes, Xiao He is also defeated by Xiao He!

This step has indeed made their family what it is today.

This step of commercial move made their family become the top company in the country for a time, with unlimited glory.

But at the same time, it also made their family a fat prey that many people stared at.

Once they missed half a step, those wolves would rush forward.

In the past few years, their family suffered such a loss.

That's right, shopping malls are such a sinister jungle society!

As for Xiao Feng, it was because he referred to their family's experience.

That's why I never planned to move the company to a big city like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

Now many companies will set up their headquarters in big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

Its name is that it can quickly internationalize, and can get in touch with the top talents at the shortest distance.

It is undeniable that there are indeed factors in this regard.

But more importantly, it is because in such a big city, they can quickly get access to funds.

Regardless of whether it is domestic venture capital or international hot money.

As long as your company has some characteristics, you can attract their attention.

In this way, as long as you don't make mistakes, you can get their financing very quickly.

And the founders of some companies actually came for this purpose.

Get financing, cash out quickly, and then sell and run.

From the beginning to the end, I never planned to run a company well.

And some are going to be well managed.

But in such a flashy city, you can only be able to calm down and start a business properly?

Even if you want to be steady and steady, those capital parties who finance you are not willing?

Isn't the capital side financing you for the purpose of making quick money?

What's more, in such a big city, there are all kinds of 'evil wolves' hidden?

Think 'Maritime' Conway's predecessor, and that's a story that gives you a quick glimpse into the sinisterness of society.

It was also because of this that Xiao Feng had no intention of moving the headquarters to those big cities.

In fact, before, those big cities also sent people to lobby from various aspects and offered various preferential policies.

Let him move the headquarters to those big cities, but he has not let go.

He laughs it off every time because he and his business don't need it!
