Chapter 87: 300 Million Thai Baht to Acquire Ownership of Red Bull!
Xu Shubiao was willing to sell the Red Bull researchers to him, and Mai Lisi was willing to raise the price by another 5 million Hong Kong dollars.
This made Xu Shubiao a little tempted.
Xu Shubiao still said: "Mr. Mai Lisi, I still don't want to sell Red Bull at the price you offered."
Mai Lisi seemed to guess what Xu Shubiao was thinking.
"The highest price is 80 million Hong Kong dollars. If it is higher, we can't talk about it and can only go back to Hong Kong directly."
80 million Hong Kong dollars?
Compared with 65 million Hong Kong dollars, it has increased by 15 million Hong Kong dollars.
He was indeed tempted.
"Mr. Mai Lisi, let me think about it again."
"No problem. Tomorrow is the last day. If you think it over and are willing to sell the ownership of Red Bull to me, we will sign the acquisition contract immediately. If you don't want to, I will fly directly back to Hong Kong from Bangkok."
Mai Lisi left the tea place directly.
Back to the hotel.
Early the next morning.
Mai Lisi was in the hotel and called Yang Ming who was far away in Hong Kong.
"Mallis, it's me."
"Boss, after these two days of negotiations with Xu Shubiao, I raised the purchase price to 80 million Hong Kong dollars, and he is already tempted. Not only do I want the ownership of Red Bull, but I am also going to pack up all the researchers of Red Bull and bring them back to Hong Kong."
80 million Hong Kong dollars?
This is 20 million Hong Kong dollars less than Yang Ming's estimated purchase price, which is enough to show that Mallis is still very good.
Yang Ming knows that he is considering the future Red Bull market to be popular all over the world.
Mallis is considering it based on the current situation of Red Bull.
In Mallis's opinion, 80 million Hong Kong dollars is too high.
If Mr. Yang, the boss, gives him enough time, he can negotiate a lower purchase price with Xu Shubiao.
"Boss, I found a problem. Even if you acquire all the ownership of Red Bull, Xu Shubiao knows the formula of Red Bull, and he can copy it to make other "Yellow Bull" or similar drinks."
Copy?
It's really possible.
Historically, several beverage companies similar to Red Bull have emerged in China, but they just have different names.
In Mai Lisi's opinion, in this case, Yang Ming has no need to acquire Red Bull at all. They can spend less money to buy the formula of Red Bull.
In fact, as long as they get the formula of Red Bull, it will be fine.
Yang Ming knows that the international trademark of Red Bull is actually worth this money.
"Mailisi, as long as I acquire the ownership of Red Bull beverages, Xu Shubiao will not dare to use it again. If he wants to copy it, I can sue him."
Mai Lisi thought about it and felt that it was true.
Since the boss said that, he did not express those concerns again.
When Yang Ming and Mai Lisi finished talking.
That day, Mai Lisi came to Red Bull Beverage Company for the first time to meet Xu Shubiao and others.
Xu Shubiao and his family thought about it for a night and felt that the acquisition price offered by Mai Lisi really made them excited.
According to the current exchange rate of Hong Kong dollars, US dollars, and Thai baht.
Now 1 US dollar is equal to about 5.5 Hong Kong dollars, and 80 million Hong Kong dollars is about 14.54 million US dollars.
According to the official exchange rate of Siam, 1 US dollar is equal to 20 Thai baht.
In other words, the current 80 million Hong Kong dollars is equivalent to 300 million Thai baht.
In 1978, this was really a lot of money.
The most important thing is that now Mai Lisi directly took all the researchers of Red Bull Beverage Company to Hong Kong, which is equivalent to not having to spend a sum of money to lay off Xu Shubiao, and all these people were packed up and given to Mai Lisi.
"Mr. Xu, what do you think?"
"Mr. Mai Lisi, I have thought it through, this price is OK."
On the same day.
Mai Lisi, on behalf of Yang Ming and Empire Group, formally signed an acquisition contract with Xu Shubiao's TC Pharmaceutical Factory and Red Bull Beverage Company.
Empire Group acquired the ownership of Red Bull Beverage Company for 80 million Hong Kong dollars.
In other words, including the current Red Bull formula, Red Bull's factory in Siam, and Red Bull-related names, etc., all ownership belongs to Empire Group.
At this time, Xu Shubiao realized that the real acquirer of Red Bull Beverage Company was not the Tiger and Leopard Company of the Hu family in Singapore.
It was a Hong Kong Empire Group that was even more powerful than he had imagined.
"Mr. Xu, did the Empire Group just acquire Wharf Holdings and Hutchison Whampoa some time ago?" Xu Shubiao asked in disbelief.
"Yes. Mr. Yang, the chairman of the Empire Group, is my boss."
Empire Group!
This huge Chinese-funded group, as if it suddenly appeared, quickly swallowed up Wharf Holdings and even Hutchison Whampoa, the second largest foreign company in Hong Kong.
Many Chinese in Siam were shocked when they saw the relevant reports.
If it is really the Empire Group, then such a giant is really not something they can afford to offend.
"Mr. Xu, I think the money for the acquisition will be delivered to you soon, or directly transferred to your account. If the researchers of Red Bull Beverage Research Company want to go to Hong Kong for development, please notify them to be prepared, and someone in Hong Kong will receive them when the time comes."
Now many people in Nanyang want to develop in Hong Kong.
Generally speaking, many people go there by smuggling.
It is still difficult to immigrate to Hong Kong openly.
Now that the Empire Group has purchased Red Bull Beverage Company at a high price, along with the researchers, it means that these researchers will be able to immigrate to Hong Kong through legitimate channels for development.
That morning.
Merlis visited the Red Bull Beverage Company with the Xu family.
Seeing the situation of the Red Bull Beverage Company, Merlis felt a little regretful. He felt that it was not worth spending 80 million Hong Kong dollars to acquire such a beverage company.
After drinking a bottle of Red Bull, he found that it really had the function of refreshing the brain, and he felt that acquiring this beverage company was really valuable.
Since the contract between the two parties has been signed.
Neither the Empire Group nor Xu Shubiao can regret it.
That afternoon.
Merlis flew directly from Bangkok Airport back to Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport.
Just after getting off the plane and coming out of the airport, Merlis did not expect that the boss Yang Ming actually sent the butler Lin Dezhong to pick him up.
"Mr. Merlis, Young Master Yang asked me to pick you up."
"Butler Lin, thank you for your hard work."
Lin Dezhong felt that Young Master Yang must attach great importance to this white man, otherwise how could he personally send him to the airport to pick up Merlis?
Merlis came to the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa in Yang Ming's Rolls-Royce.
The time has come to 21:30 in the evening.
Mai Lisi had dinner on the plane, so he wasn't hungry, but he was still a little tired from running back and forth.
"Mailisi, you've worked hard."
When seeing Mai Lisi getting off the Rolls-Royce, Ah Zhu pushed Yang Ming over, and Yang Ming said to Mai Lisi.
Mai Lisi just saved him 20 million Hong Kong dollars.
"Boss, I should do it."
The two went straight to the study on the third floor.
Mai Lisi reported to Yang Ming in detail about the acquisition of Red Bull Beverage Company in Siam.
"Mailisi, you did a good job, better than I thought. Not only did you save me 20 million Hong Kong dollars, but you also packed a group of researchers."
It must be said that Mai Lisi considered this aspect more comprehensively.
Mai Lisi said: "Boss, I drank Red Bull when I visited the Red Bull beverage factory and found that it tasted okay. However, I learned from the management there that Red Bull is still in a loss-making state. Xu Shubiao sold Red Bull Beverage Company to Empire Group, and they made a lot of money."
