I Have 100 Million Stores

This time the other party needs to invest 9 billion yuan, and the combined value of these three assets after deducting liabilities is exactly 9 billion.

How could such a coincidence happen?

Cao Xingyu understood a little bit.

Based on this, he dared to conclude that the quotes for these three assets must be a bit exaggerated.

After all, it’s impossible for someone to deliberately lower the price of a high-value asset, right?

Of course, except for him, Cao Xingyu.

The purpose shown by the other party at this moment is actually very clear, which is to directly use all assets to offset this follow-up investment.

The kind that doesn’t cost you a penny of cash.

"The Xie Group is indeed the Xie Group. Even though it knows that I have already made a huge profit, it is still not satisfied. It still wants to seek greater profits from it and maximize its benefits." Cao Xingyu muttered in his heart. After all, when a large group acts like this, they won’t be polite to you, and interests come first.

"However, it's not necessarily true. Maybe the other party is also ready to get some cash."

"With this overall quotation of 9 billion, the other party should have reserved room for price negotiation. After all, no one will quote their lowest price at the beginning."

Cao Xingyu feels that this possibility may be higher and more reasonable.

After a pause, Cao Xingyu's eyes returned to the paper again.

There is no doubt that the Xie Group does come with sincerity this time and wants to promote this cooperation.

The contents of the document in front of me can be said to have taken out all of the Xie Group's self-owned assets in Sansha City.

"The occupancy rate of Qianda Plaza is 100%, so it should be pretty good."

Cao Xingyu did not doubt this.

After all, the IP of Qianda Plaza is there. As the most famous and top IP in the field of large shopping malls in the country, and the Xie Group has established relationships with tens of thousands of brands across the country and even the world over the past two decades. It can be said that it is not difficult for them to attract investment if they have established a cooperative relationship.

This is also the greatest foundation of the Xie Group, which is unparalleled in the country.

The reason why we can transform into an "asset-light" company and sell experience and services is that resources in this area occupy a huge weight.

Otherwise, how could anyone else hand over the money to you? Let you get a piece of the pie for no reason? Couldn't they just build the shopping mall themselves?

Isn’t it because there is no accumulation of more than 20 years of Xie Group!

But is this Qianda Plaza worth 3 billion?

Cao Xingyu was skeptical about this price, especially after seeing that the price of the other party's office building was a bit high, he became even more suspicious.

It's just that Cao Xingyu is not a professional in this field after all. He doesn't know how to value it and cannot evaluate it from a professional perspective.

Do you need more detailed rental statistics? Annual return data?

Anyway, more data is definitely needed.

The Xie Group did not provide details this time, which is worth pondering.

Is time too tight? No time to prepare?

Or did you come here with the thought that this was not going to be a good first time?

That's right, after all, it is a project worth 30 billion, and the other party has to invest nearly 10 billion in assets. In the face of such a huge number, such a large project requires various back-and-forth inspections and negotiations.

It's normal to go back and forth and talk for a few months or something.

"But I don't want to delay it too long..." Thinking of this, Cao Xingyu stared at the paper and muttered in his heart.

For a large project like this, the quotation and data given by the other party are just a preliminary process, and in the end, they must be confirmed one by one in detail.

The confirmation process will be quite cumbersome and lengthy.

It can easily take several months or even half a year!

For Cao Xingyu, this is not the situation he wants to see.

On the one hand, the sooner the Shiwang Group's assets are increased, the faster its development will be!

If it takes a few months...

That will seriously slow down his development!

On the other hand, if it drags on, the valuation of Mei Tuan will also fluctuate!

Especially with the development of the Shiwang brand, it is already foreseeable that Mei Tuan's market value will decline.

A few months later, this 2% share of Mei Tuan shares will definitely not be worth so much money now!

When the stock price changes, this negotiation will fall into a new round of re-evaluation and tug-of-war...

In the end, it may even end and become obsolete.

Therefore, for Cao Xingyu, who finally thought of a reasonable way to use Mei Tuan's shares, he naturally did not want to delay it!

"It seems we have to make some trade-offs..." After pursing his lips, Cao Xingyu's eyes moved down again.

Qianda Hotel 1.5 billion...

Regarding the quoted price of this asset, Cao Xingyu can conclude that it is definitely too high.

It is a well-known fact that the hotel industry, especially the high-end hotel industry, has not been doing well in recent years.

Especially this year, it has fallen directly to the bottom.

Therefore, most high-end hotels like this are in a state of loss all year round, and the losses are not low. Each hotel starts with a loss of at least tens of millions.

How can a hotel that has been losing money all year round have a value as high as 1.5 billion?

correct...

Something suddenly came to mind, and Cao Xingyu couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Xie, didn't you package and sell 77 Qianda hotels a few years ago?"

"That's right." Xie Jianlin nodded:

"However, not all of them were sold. It was just because our group faced some problems that year that we had no choice but to trade out some companies that were not performing very well."

"We still have more than a dozen on hand, and this one in Sansha City is among them."

"Oh, if I remember correctly, the package price of 77 companies is only 19.9 billion." Cao Xingyu recalled with a smile:

"The unit price of a single hotel is just over 250 million yuan, but your hotel in Sansha City is now quoted 1.5 billion yuan?"

77 five-star hotels were packaged and sold, which was a big deal that shocked the country at the time.

It can be said to have created a history in the field of high-end hotels and directly rewritten the market structure in this field, making the Rongcheng Group that took over directly become the largest high-end hotel operator in the country and even the world.

As for the final transaction price, Cao Xingyu naturally still remembers it.

"It's different. At that time, our Xie Group was facing some special circumstances, so we gave some discounts when we packaged and sold them. In addition, what we sold were some inferior assets, so the price was naturally cheaper." Xie Jianlin Explained.

"Haha, even so, it shouldn't be as high as 1.5 billion, right?" Cao Xingyu smiled and said:

"And as far as I know, these high-end hotels have been losing money."

"Should we spend 1.5 billion to replace the company's unnecessary annual expenses?"

"Mr. Xie, do you think this is justified?"

Cao Xingyu made no secret of his doubts about the price.

"Haha, the location of this hotel is good, and there are no similar competitors nearby. Coupled with the reputation and appeal of our Xie Group, to be honest, this hotel has turned a profit since last year. Although it is profitable It’s not much, but it can fully illustrate its value. As long as we work steadily in the future, profits will continue to increase.” Xie Jianlin responded and said with a smile:

"What's more, our domestic economy is developing rapidly. In my opinion, it is only a matter of time before domestic consumption upgrades. The rise of the high-end hotel industry is only a matter of time."

After saying that, at this moment, Xie Jianlin began to really look at Cao Xingyu.

I didn’t expect that this young man knew so much!

Of course, Xie Jianlin didn't expect that the Shiwang Group would not know these basic situations, but he didn't expect that the young man in front of him would know their Xie Group so well.

"Not only is he familiar with the business office market in Sansha City, but he also seems to have some understanding of the hotel industry. I didn't expect that the preparation work was very complete. It seems that it is not so easy to fool." Xie Jianlin muttered in his heart.

There was a slight surprise, but Xie Jianlin was not too entangled.

Because he didn't originally think that this quotation would be the final price. Practically speaking, the first quotation was more like a test.

Look at the other person’s background and depth.

If the other party is taken advantage of and doesn't understand the market, that would be perfect.

But judging from the current situation, it is obviously not the case. This transaction must enter a real tug-of-war stage...

Xie Jianlin thought to himself with a calm expression on his face.

"A profit?" Hearing this, Cao Xingyu raised his eyebrows in surprise.

real or fake?

To be honest, Cao Xingyu didn't quite believe it in his heart.

After all, the market environment for high-end hotels is there. In addition, Sansha City is not a super first-tier city, and the business atmosphere and consumption level are not high.

In this case, can we buck the trend and achieve profits?

As for the reputation and appeal Xie Jianlin said, Cao Xingyu just listened and didn't take it seriously.

In his opinion, the only area where the Xie Group has appeal is in Qianda Plaza, where it is the absolute leading player.

If it really has such great appeal in the hotel industry, why bother selling so many hotels before? Wouldn’t it be nice to keep it in your own hands?

However, since the other party said it was profitable, it is certainly impossible to lie and report false news in such a place. After all, it can be found out by checking the financial statements later.

"It should be that the Xie Group consumes more internally, right? Is it using this to support revenue?"

Perhaps the Xie Group has already had the idea of ​​selling the hotel? Plan ahead and make the revenue a priority? Use this to charge a high price?

Cao Xingyu thought of this possibility.

And it's not impossible.

First, many Qianda hotels owned by the Xie Group have changed hands, and there are not many left on hand.

Those that were not sold may be because they were indeed of better quality than those that were packaged for sale. The price at that time was too low for the Xie Group to be willing to sell them at a low price.

But that doesn’t mean it won’t be sold.

Since so many hotels have been sold, the hotel business is obviously a business that the other party wants to give up.

Just looking for a higher price.

Second, make false revenue statements, which is very common in the business field.

Even listed companies may take risks and make false financial statements, let alone some unlisted companies.

As long as the benefits are big enough, anything can happen in the mall.

For a large company like Xie's Group, there is no difficulty in this aspect.

"And to take a step back, even if there is a profit, it is probably not much. It can be called a profit of hundreds of thousands or millions. This can be inferred from the fact that the other party dare not directly say the profit amount." Cao Xingyu thought in his heart. Calculate.

Therefore, profit is obviously a gimmick for the other party to quote high prices.

Who knows what the next few years will bring?

It is almost impossible to make a substantial profit under the adverse environment of the high-end hotel industry.

Therefore, there is no doubt that the price of 1.5 billion is definitely a bit too high!

As for what Xie Jianlin said about the continuous improvement of the domestic economy and the upgrading of consumption, Cao Xingyu simply ignored it.

It is undeniable that the economy is rising, and the domestic growth rate is the highest in the world.

But the impact on the high-end hotel industry is actually not great.

We must know that the economy is rising and prices are also rising. Combined with the fact that everyone now has a mortgage loan, a car loan, an advance consumption loan (such as Huabei), etc., the life pressure of every ordinary person is quite high.

In this case, those who have spare money and capital to go to high-end hotels are actually still a small group of people in the upper class, and there will not be any big changes at all.

At this time, Xie Jianlin saw that Cao Xingyu had not spoken for a while, so he smiled and added: "Young man, if you have any ideas, we can talk about it slowly. This is just a preliminary quotation. Our Xie Group is not interested in this quotation." We still have great sincerity in cooperation, so please don’t worry about this.”

Xie Jianlin's tone was very polite, and he did not show any arrogance because of Cao Xingyu's young age.

After all, at his level, he has already passed the stage of overwhelming others with his power, so there is no need for that.

But now it is obvious that Xie Jianlin does not have the idea of ​​​​reaching a settlement in one go. Even if he does, it is just a little bit of luck to see if the Shiwang Group is really taken advantage of and whether it can get a bigger advantage.

From the current contact, Xie Jianlin has understood that this company is not ignorant of the market, but it also understands the relevant business fields of their Xie Group very well.

Based on this, Xie Jianlin already understood that his slightly higher offer would definitely not work.

But it doesn't matter. As long as what the other party said about Mei Tuan's shares is true, everything will be easy to discuss.

Let's see how the other party plans to lower the price next, don't worry.

This is Xie Jianlin's true thoughts at this moment.

"What's the preliminary quotation..." Hearing this, Cao Xingyu muttered and fell into deep thought again.

This was in line with his worries just now.

He's just afraid of getting stuck in a long negotiation...

But now it is obvious that the prices of office buildings are too high, and the prices of hotels are also too high.

Qianda Plaza is probably not much better.

The other party was clearly testing him.

In business negotiations, this is understandable and not surprising, let alone such a big deal. It is completely reasonable for the Xie Group to make such a move.

However, this conflicts with Cao Xingyu's actual interests!

He doesn't want to delay!

At this moment, Cao Xingyu began to hesitate.

Is he hesitating whether to bargain directly?

To strive for more benefits for yourself?

Under normal circumstances, this is indeed what should be done.

However, the follow-up will definitely be lengthy negotiations and inspections.

Even the Xie Group should have anticipated the next scene and prepared a series of response plans.

For example, more detailed data has been prepared to support their quotation. The next step is for him to verify the data, send people to the other company to view detailed financial statements, etc.

Is the time spent in the end really worth it? does it worth?

Cao Xingyu weighed it in his heart.

After the question swirled in his mind for a while, he finally made a decision.

"That's it!"

There is no need to worry about temporary gains and losses.

As long as these assets can be collected as soon as possible, it is actually not a loss.

For example, Qianda Plaza has 513 stores that can increase subsidies.

As for the hotel... I don’t know how the system will calculate it. Is it an asset? Or is it calculated based on guest rooms?

Not to mention the office building, which is more than 600,000 square meters. Originally, the fixed assets were divided into fixed assets for sale. There must be at least hundreds or even thousands of assets here.

Taking these into consideration, the system subsidy is not low!

“Instead of delaying negotiations for several months and getting nothing for a whole few months, it is better to start early to increase the number of assets on hand!”

"And these three assets are included in the Shiwang Group, which will be of great help to the brand's reputation and practicality!"

"What's more, there is an obvious problem. In a few months, whether Mei Tuan shares can maintain this high level is still a question."

"The uncertainty at the end is too high!"

"Maybe after a few months of talks, the talks fall apart!"

Anyway, this share is also a lottery.

Now it can be exchanged for a large urban comprehensive commercial complex, which is already a very cost-effective deal!

Don't be too greedy!

If the other party’s price is higher, then the price should be higher. In short, he won’t lose money!

Thinking of this, Cao Xingyu made a complete decision in his heart.

"We can agree to your offer!" After pouting, Cao Xingyu said calmly.

"Uh? What?" Xie Jianlin on the side was still thinking about how to deal with Cao Xingyu's price reduction, and he never thought that this scene would happen.

He even wondered if he heard it wrong?

What are you doing?

This guy has clearly seen that this quote is a bit too high, right?

Why did you... suddenly... agree in the blink of an eye?

What the hell is this!

Xie Jianlin rarely lost his composure again. The expression on his face was very rich at this moment.

A little surprised, a little confused, and a little happy...

"But..." Cao Xingyu ignored the other party's reaction and continued on his own:

"We have a condition."
