High School Belle Fell in Love with Me-Chapter 362 - 178: Isn’t This a Bit Bullying? (Double - )
He found himself a reason to stand on the moral high ground.
Jiang Banxia: "Oh, I see. So how much Green Water Group stock do you still have on hand?"
"Well... 10% left."
Originally, it was 12%, but during this time, Liu Zhengxiong sold off a part of it.
Strictly speaking, it was definitely an illegal operation, but he placed it under several identities to avoid raising suspicion.
Jiang Banxia had already gathered enough information. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
She smiled and said, "How about this, senior? Sell me your family’s 10% of Green Water Group’s shares, and I can offer two hundred million."
Liu Yuheng immediately asked, "And the other eight hundred million, consider it a loan from my family."
The current market value of Green Water Group’s shares was merely one hundred million, and if they really wanted to sell it on the secondary market, it might not even fetch sixty million.
So, Jiang Banxia’s offer of two hundred million was very satisfactory.
However, Jiang Banxia said, "No, no, no, for the other eight hundred million, I want 40% of Fuguang Group’s shares."
"What! This... this..."
Liu Yuheng was shocked.
He hadn’t expected that Jiang Banxia would want Fuguang Group.
That was the family’s lifeline; without Fuguang Group, what else did they have?
He hurried to find an excuse and said, "Junior, the shares of Fuguang Group are currently pledged to the bank, and we need at least over a billion to release them."
Jiang Banxia: "I know, I can help with that, we can just directly handle the transaction with the bank."
Liu Yuheng was anxious, "Junior, can’t you just lend me a little money? If not ten billion, four billion would do?"
Jiang Banxia smiled and said, "If the senior needs ten billion, I will certainly find a way to gather it for you."
"Green Water Group’s shares can be sold, but Fuguang Group..."
"Senior, Green Water Group isn’t worth that much. I’m willing to pay a one or two-time premium, so we have to make up for it elsewhere."
Liu Yuheng was at a loss for words.
For the first time, he found Jiang Banxia so unfamiliar. Her outwardly harmless expression suddenly turned cold.
She maintained a smile throughout, but every word she said asserted her position.
Li Yang didn’t say a word during the whole time, in fact, he was taken aback when Jiang Banxia mentioned wanting shares of Fuguang Group.
Master Jiang actually wanted to intercept what was his.
Originally, Fuguang Group was already in his grasp, but he was prepared to spend ten to twelve billion to buy Liu Zhengxiong’s shares.
Jiang Banxia played hardball; she offered a high price for Green Water Group’s shares, but in reality, pushed aggressively down on the price of Fuguang Group’s shares.
Pushing down the price of Fuguang Group had many benefits. As long as the price was lowered, it signaled a deal, it signaled market recognition of this price, which made subsequent financing easier and gradually regained absolute control.
If the price is too high, subsequent financing costs would also be greater.
The dishes hadn’t even arrived, and Liu Yuheng found an excuse to go out and make a call.
"How did it go? Did you borrow the money?"
As soon as the call connected, Liu Zhengxiong asked.
Liu Yuheng said, "Dad, Jiang Banxia wants the Green Water Group stock in our hands, and..."
"How much is she offering for Green Water Group?"
Before Liu Yuheng could finish, Liu Zhengxiong interrupted.
The Green Water Group stock was of no use to him.
"Two hundred million."
"Sell it to her!"
Without hesitation, Liu Zhengxiong agreed, with two hundred million, what more is needed?
Liu Yuheng said, "Dad, but she also wants Fuguang Group’s shares, 40%, for eight billion. These two deals are tied together, a total of ten billion."
Upon hearing this, there was silence on the line from Liu Zhengxiong.
How much is Fuguang Group worth?
It generates revenue of over ten billion annually, with a net profit of around eighty million.
With high salary, dividends, and other operations, Liu Zhengxiong could take around forty million from the company each year.
He never thought about expanding Fuguang Group; the cost was too high, and it was enough as is.
It couldn’t compare to the Green Water Group of the past; the profits of Green Water Group were extraordinarily high, even tech companies found it hard to match.
According to the market valuation, Fuguang Group was valued between thirty to fifty billion.
Calling it thirty billion was acceptable, and fifty billion wasn’t too far-fetched.
The shares he held were worth more than twelve billion, but the bank pledge wouldn’t cover the full price.
Just like a mortgage: the value, minus the down payment, was what the bank acknowledged as the house’s price.
A million-dollar house, with a 30% down payment, and a loan of seven hundred thousand from the bank meant the bank recognized the house’s value as only seven hundred thousand, not one million.
Company shares were roughly the same; they might sell for a high price with good luck, or lower if the luck was bad.
It all depended on need.
"Dad..."
Liu Yuheng called out.
Liu Zhengxiong said, "Doesn’t she just want Fuguang Group? Give it to her! Tell me where, I’ll go negotiate personally."
Eight billion? That’s impossible!
Jiang Banxia suddenly wanting Fuguang Group shares means there is demand. For someone with a demand, it’s definitely a different price.
Eight billion was a bottom-of-the-barrel price, but his shares could still sell for over nine billion, even twelve billion was a norm.
...
Li Yang kept silent; even after Liu Yuheng left, he only held the menu and asked Jiang Banxia whether she liked a particular dish.
Whatever Jiang Banxia decided, he wouldn’t easily oppose, except in matters of affection.
He wanted Fuguang Group, but it was not a must.
After a while, Liu Yuheng returned and said, "Junior, I’m not the one in charge of Fuguang Group matters. How about I let my dad come and talk to you, would that be alright?"
