As long as the purpose of controlling the bank is achieved, Lei Hao really doesn't mind spending US$30 million to acquire Yuhua Bank, but he originally seized the good opportunity to lower the price and reduce resistance. There is no reason to pay a 100% premium now.

give up? Lei Hao thought about it in his mind, but he still didn't want to give up.

The geographical location of Yuhua Bank is great. It forms a small triangle with Forest and Wall Street, radiating out from each other, and the effect of complementing each other is very good.

In addition, this bank is located in Chinatown, and Lei Hao is quite nationalistic. He feels that LEI's holding bank can bring discounts to nearby depositors, so... of course, foreigners will give priority to Chinese people.

From an objective point of view, it is best for financial institutions with Chinese background to be based in Chinese settlements.

The most important point is that it is difficult to find a second commercial banking license in Manhattan, New York. Even if you find it, the negotiation alone will take at least ten days and a half.

Taken together, Yuhua Bank is the most suitable acquisition target for Lei Hao, as stated in the evaluation document.

"I originally wanted to use priority to break the equilibrium between supply and demand, but now the other party is backing it up by exchanging shares." Lei Hao felt a little irritated: "In the end, the level of demand has been analyzed. In such a short period of time, there must be someone Gave my information to the other party.”

Lei Hao turned his eyes to Cao Maosen, then looked at Martin, George, and Chen Jingchu, and a series of names passed through his mind.

Yuhua Bank's information can be obtained with some skill, but Lei Hao's detailed information is not widely disseminated. He certainly does not believe that the three executive directors of Yuhua's board of directors have the ability to deduce everything in a short period of time.

However, why is the other party so sure? What other reasons could there be? Lei Hao felt that the probability was too low.

"Lei, according to the Banking Act, there is a limit to the number of banks allowed to open in the same area. In other words, there is a limit to the density of banks." Seeing Lei Hao's ugly face, Martin, who represents the largest equity interests, explained. Said: “Supply and demand determine the price.”

"The price deviates from the core value. I won't buy it." Lei Hao pondered for a moment, stood up, and said directly: "Now Yuhua, the entire Yuhua Bank, I will pay 40 million, and I don't want a penny more." ! This price is valid within this week. If it’s delayed, I won’t want it!”

"Lei?" The three executive directors of Yuhua were a little dumbfounded.

Did you say the demand is extremely high? What about the bargain? If you play like this, it's easy to have no friends.

In an instant, Martin, Chen Jingchu and George all thought of the worst case scenario.

If Lei Hao doesn't buy it, the demand from others is not very high. In other words, they can only offer a high price to Lei Hao, and the rest are here to take advantage.

The only buyer and the only seller, it seems that this transaction is like a psychological tug of war.

"51%, 30 million U.S. dollars, Lei. This price is valid within this week. If LEI does not buy it, then we will seek other ways of cooperation." This negotiation was driven by George. In this case, he stood Come out and express your attitude.

"According to the tender offer triggering regulations, if I offer 30 million US dollars, how many shares do you think I will receive?" Lei Hao said with a sneer.

In addition to China, Lei Hao's current net worth is expanding at an exaggerated rate. It can be said that in fact, 18 million U.S. dollars may be a data jump for him.

But when someone clearly wants to kill you, even if the other person's machete is just a nail clipper to him, Lei Hao still finds it difficult to accept. This is being taken advantage of. If you are taken advantage of this time, all future acquisition targets will use it to kill you. He thought he was being taken advantage of, so what a joke.

"Yuhua Bank is not without alternatives." Lei Hao waved his hand and continued: "As far as I know, the United States has restrictions on the density of commercial banks, but there are so many financial institutions in Manhattan, New York, that I would rather use 100 million in funds If we set aside costs to squeeze Yuhua’s living space, we won’t pay you even one cent more!”

"Wow, dear Chinese friends, are you threatening us?" George was a little frightened, but he still said with a smile: "I can't think of any other place where Yuhua Bank will be squeezed."

"Let's put the negotiations on hold for now." Lei Hao didn't want to say anything else, so he stood up and without saying a word, said a brief farewell to Cao Maosen and left Yuhua Bank.

"Mr. Lei, the three of them have joined forces to achieve the purpose of controlling the shares, and the method used will not violate the regulations of the Federal Reserve Board (similar to the US Banking Regulatory Commission). Unless we don't talk, we can only talk to them." Walking out of the bank, Cao Maosen He opened his mouth and reminded: "Or if you are prepared to accept banks from surrounding areas such as New Jersey, I can find targets. There are too few in Manhattan."

"I'm going to use another method." Lei Hao shook his head.

In his heart, Lei Hao still had other doubts. Originally, this matter was going well, why did something unexpected happen, and the future information did not give any hint.

Could it be...that the future has been changed again?

"This road is blocked, so I will find a way by myself!" After bidding farewell to Cao Maosen, Lei Hao sat back in his car, leaned on the back of his chair, closed his eyes and began to think from a different angle.

Value, supply and demand, price, these are words that often flash in the economic behavior system. Now that both myself and Yuhua have almost the only attributes of supply and demand, then...

"By breaking its only attribute and reducing the importance of the other party's supply, I can take the initiative." Lei Hao thought: "But this may cause more changes."

"We can't delay it any longer. Forest's bonds can't wait for Yuhua to bow his head."

Lei Hao was thinking and preparing. In the office of Yuhua Bank, Martin, Chen Jingchu and George were also silent and calculating.

Among the three major shareholders who have joined forces to achieve controlling rights, Chen Jingchu is a moderate, Martin is a centrist, and George is a radical. In fact, only George, who considers himself an elite member of the banking family, is determined to get money from Lei Hao. Cut a large amount of money while cutting.

Chen Jingchu and Martin's thinking was to help Lei Hao control the company, and then retain a small share of the shares themselves, and everyone would cooperate.

Now that Lei Hao has given an ultimatum, things are not going as George expected, and the situation becomes interesting.

"Martin, Chen, you have to believe me, LEI, no, it's Lei. Lei will definitely acquire a commercial bank. He needs a commercial bank. So, is there anything more suitable than us?" George made a confident gesture. , said: "The answer is no!"

"What I want to know is, George, if, I mean if, our negotiations with Ray fail, what will the company do? The probability of default on the first phase of Mael's loan is very high, and our competitors are making a fuss about it. , our customers are waiting and watching, and this sentiment will lead to an increase in our operating difficulty and operating costs this year." Chen Jingchu said.

"Lei is undoubtedly urgent, but we are not far behind." Martin said.

"Believe me, he is more anxious than us! He must be more anxious than us!" George almost swore to the sky and said: "People outside the circle don't know, don't we know the general situation of Forest and LEI? This money, he gave deal!"

"I hope so." Martin and Chen Jingchu looked at each other, feeling a little uneasy, but they were also businessmen and could make more money, so why not?
