My 1999

The second one is the easiest. We at Jianlibao have mature and stable channels.

Articles 3 and 4 are not difficult to solve either. As soon as we integrate Huiyuan, we will start building sub-brands.

Only the first one is difficult to change unless our market share can continue to increase.

Moreover, our original production line of Jianlibao had vacancies. Now that we have acquired Huiyuan, the vacancy rate is even higher. "

Xu Liang understood and then smiled and said: "As for the vacant production line, it's not as difficult as you think. Maybe this is a good thing for us."

"Good thing?"

Qiao Yu would react instantly.

"Are you so optimistic about Yao Ming?"

"We'll see."

Xu Liang didn't explain much.

When Yao Ming was at his peak, he was a symbol of the entire Chinese sports and his influence was too great.

After a night's rest, the two of them went about their own business.

Xu Liang went to Central America for a whole morning, and after checking in with Mo Maniang, he went to Hongmeng in the afternoon.

"Mr. Xu, this is the news I just received."

He took the document from Lu Hui's hand.

After looking at it, Xu Liang said in surprise: "Ebay rejected Ali's acquisition? Didn't it say that the two parties had initialed an agreement some time ago?"

After Ali received his investment, he immediately launched the acquisition of eBay. Shao Yibo did not refuse, and the two parties began to contact. Although there was not much news from the outside world, as Ali's major shareholder, Xu Liang knew a lot of inside information.

After nearly a month of negotiations, the two parties have agreed that Alibaba will acquire eBay for US$120 million, half of which will be paid in cash and half of the new company's stock.

The contract was also initialed.

As long as due diligence is completed, the contract can be officially signed.

Breaking up suddenly now is obviously abnormal.

"The rumor is that eBay is involved."

Lu Huidao.

Xu Liang took out his cell phone and dialed, and the call was connected after a short time.

Ma Yun's voice came quickly.

"Brother Xu, why do you have time to call me?"

"Lao Ma, what's going on? I heard that your acquisition of eBay went south?"

"Shao Yibo, a bastard who is greedy for money and dishonest, signed a contract with us. But when eBay offered us US$150 million, he kicked us out without even saying hello," Ma Yun said angrily.

"Has eBay stepped in?"

Xu Liang was a little surprised, but also felt that it was somewhat reasonable.

In the last life, eBay acquired eBay to enter the C2C market, and now it is certainly no exception. But he didn't expect eBay to come so early.

"eBay is coming with great force this time, as if it is swallowing up China's C2C market." Ma Yun said.

Xu Liang smiled and said: "Old Ma, you are not shrinking, are you?"

"How could it be possible? Isn't it eBay? It only operates in the United States, but in China it is still our territory." Ma Yun said confidently.

"As long as you have confidence. If you need my help, just call." Xu Liang said generously.

Now he controls 49.99% of Alibaba's shares through Hongyan and Hanhua. He is the largest shareholder of Alibaba. He must help each other both emotionally and rationally.

"Haha, when I really need your brother, I will definitely come to visit you."

After a brief chat, Xu Liang hung up the phone.

Different from the previous life, now Ali has 90 million US dollars invested by him, and Ali's development will be faster and more stable.

"Mr. Xu, this is a fax from Mr. Xia. The negotiations with Standard Chartered have reached a stalemate. It is difficult to get better conditions." Lu Hui handed over another document.

Xu Liang took it and took a look.

At a price of HK$43.45 per share, it holds 16.8% of Standard Chartered's shares and two board seats.

What Hanhua needs to pay is the exclusive right to cooperate in the entire Greater China region, Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Middle East and Africa, in addition to China, Hong Kong and Macao.

This condition is much better than the 15% equity and two board seats he originally expected.

"Tell Xia Changsheng and let him sign the contract. As for the funds..."

After investing in Alibaba, apart from the real estate investment budget, he was able to use US$600 million.

According to the current share price of Standard Chartered, a 16.8% stake is equivalent to US$1.3 billion.

Excluding the 5.9% stake that Hongyan has acquired in advance, Hongyan still needs to pay US$860 million.

Xu Liang didn't have enough cash in his hand.

Moreover, he also needs to set aside a certain amount of cash to deal with unexpected events.

After pondering for a moment, "Tell Xia Changsheng that I will support him with US$400 million in cash and let him take out loans for the rest."

US$400 million, plus the original equity held by Standard Chartered, and one mortgage are enough to buy the remaining equity of Standard Chartered.

"OK."

After Lu Hui left, Xu Liang's cell phone suddenly rang.

I picked it up and pressed the answer button.

Soon, Qiao Yuhui's voice came over, with joy in his tone.

"Xu Liang, Zhu Xinli let go."

"Yeah?"

Xu Liang also felt happy.

If we integrate Huiyuan earlier, we can also integrate the resources of both parties to develop quickly.

"But Zhu Xinli wants 800 million Chinese coins." Qiao Yuhui said.

"Promise him. Although the price is a bit higher, time is more precious to us now." Xu Liang said.

Now Uni-President, Master Kong, Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola are all investing in the beverage industry. If they finish the equity matters earlier, they can also complete the integration earlier and compete for the beverage market.

Qiao Yuhui also understood the seriousness of the matter.

"I think so too. After finally acquiring Huiyuan, we can't let Uni-President and Master Kong take advantage of the loopholes."

"Do you need me to support you financially?"

"No. Although I promised Zhu Xinli to give him 800 million, I can't let him take advantage of it all. I'm ready to sign the contract. I will give him 200 million first and pay off the rest within six months.

With Jianlibao's gross profit, it can completely cope with it.

What's more, we have the integrated Huiyuan, which makes it even easier. "

Xu Liang nodded. Jianlibao's main business revenue in the first half of 2002 was 1.7 billion Chinese dollars, and its gross profit was 890 million Chinese dollars, plus the accumulation last year.

The available liquidity is close to 1.2 billion.

After paying Delong 550 million Huaxia coins, the remaining 650 million Huaxia coins are not enough to acquire Zhu Xinli's 49% equity in Huiyuan, but in half a year, it will be much easier.

After a brief chat, the two hung up the phone.

Qiao Yu will be very busy now.

In addition to keeping an eye on the integration of Huiyuan, we are also busy promoting new products.

Basically working overtime every day, leaving early and coming back late.

Xu Liang didn't bother her either.

——

The capital city government compound.

This is Xu Liang’s third visit.

As soon as I got off the car, I saw a young man wearing a white T-shirt waiting nearby.

"Assistant Liu, I kept you waiting."

Xu Liang stepped forward quickly.

The seventh-ranking official in front of the prime minister's door, this leader's political secretary is not to be neglected.

Liu Shucheng smiled and said: "I just came here not long ago. Mr. Xu, let's go in, Leader Jiang is already waiting for you."

Xu Liang nodded and came to Jiang Weiguo's office with ease.

Pushing the door open, the layout is still the same.

Apart from the bookcases filled with books, there are not many other decorations.

"coming?"

Xu Liang nodded, "Leader Jiang, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are more energetic."

"You kid, stop flattering me and come sit here."

Jiang Weiguo waved.

"Why."

Xu Liang agreed and walked over quickly.

After the two sat down, Liu Shucheng brought over a glass of water.

Jiang Weiguo glanced at him.

"Really decide to develop the 'Hongmeng Project' in stages?"

Xu Liang nodded, "We can't delay any longer, otherwise the construction cost will only get higher and higher."

"It's better to develop it in stages. In the first phase, 1,000 acres will be built, and in the second phase, another thousand, and in the third phase, all will be completed. This is safer." Jiang Weiguo nodded.

"Leader Jiang, we hope to buy the land first, and then the government will cooperate with us to complete the land acquisition. The entire project is progressing as planned.

For example, the first phase of 1,000 acres of land will be developed within four years. If it is completed successfully, we will continue the second phase of development. If we fail to complete it by the time limit, the government has the right to auction the land.

In this way, we don’t have to worry about our breach of contract and the problem of unfinished buildings. "

Xu Liang is very aware of how fast the price of land will rise in the future, so he does not want to spend too much money on it.

Jiang Weiguo thought about it and nodded.

"Can."

"Then I'm fine."

Jiang Weiguo nodded, "Did you acquire Huiyuan?"

"You know?"

"You all called the police, how can I not know? But recently, Secretary Shun Yi Zhao came to me several times and said that they had finally managed to cultivate a large enterprise, but it was suddenly taken away by you."

"Huiyuan is also the company that Qilu moved to. Besides, after the acquisition, it is also necessary to integrate the management, production, sales channels and markets of both parties.

Only in this way can we save costs, improve operational efficiency, and create more revenue and profits. "Xu Liang said.

Jiang Weiguo nodded and said, "Have you never thought about moving Jianlibao to the capital?"

"When I acquired Jianlibao, I promised the Sanshui government not to change the company's registration location. Moreover, Jianlibao's headquarters is in Yangcheng. Moving here is just a waste of time and has no practical significance."

"So that's it."

After a pause, Jiang Weiguo changed the subject.

"I heard your parents are here?"

Xu Liang's heart thumped and he couldn't help but nodded.

"They were worried about my sister's college entrance examination, so they came to take a look."

"Have Xiaoyang met your parents?"

"I've seen them. Last week, Xiaoyang returned to the capital and made a special trip to see them." Xu Liang said quickly.

"That's good. ...It's the weekend in a few days. I'll ask your aunt to cook more. You can come over for dinner."

How dare Xu Liang refuse, he nodded quickly.

After the two chatted for a while, Xu Liang left.

After getting in the car, I couldn't help but sigh as I watched the government compound getting further and further away.

He has always been afraid of getting married, but the development of things often does not depend on his will. Whether he wants it or not, as he spends more and more time with Jiang Xiaoyang, outsiders will treat him as the Jiang family's prospective son-in-law.

Unless he can completely give up Jiang Xiaoyang and the two never meet again, their union will be a trend that no one can go against.
