Rebirth of the Evil Life

Invest in Club Monaco?

Rybolovlev was stunned. This was a bit beyond his expectation. He did not expect that Lin Feng would invite him to join Monaco Football Club.レm♦思♦路♦客レ

"What? Mr. Rybolovlev is not interested?" Lin Feng was surprised at Rybolovlev's reaction.

"Haha, that's not the case. When it comes to investment, I am very interested. In fact, I am also happy to invest to expand my reputation. But there is a problem right now, that is, I don't have that much cash. Now all my The cash is all in Russia and used to develop Russia's first hybrid car. I don't have that much money to invest in football," Rybolovlev sighed helplessly.

"To be honest, my funds are mainly in the Ural Potash Company. Although this company is very profitable and has high profits, I use the profits every year to invest in my car company." Rybolovlev was a little unhappy. Nice to say.

"Look, Trina is going to give birth soon, and I haven't thought about what gift to give her yet!" Rybolovlev sighed softly, "Originally, I wanted to give her the best coming-of-age gift. , Unfortunately, I can’t do it now!”

Lin Feng frowned slightly. This sounds a bit strange, but there is something interesting in Rybolovlev's words. What did he want to say?

"Mr. Rybolovlev, what do you mean?" Lin Fengxiao asked.

"Haha, it's like this. I know that Mr. Lin is a very patriotic person, and China is the world's largest demander of potassium fertilizer. The potash fertilizer of my Ural Potash Fertilizer is not only high-quality, but also cheap. Compared with the Canadian potash fertilizer company, , I also have a geographical advantage. So, Mr. Lin, are you interested in acquiring all the shares of Ural Potash Company in my hands?" Rybolovlev said something that shocked Lin Feng into silence.

Uralkali Fertilizer Company for sale? This is really shocking!

"Uh, Mr. Ryrebolovlev, please forgive me for asking again. Did you just say that you wanted to sell Ural Potash Company to me?" Lin Feng was really trembling at this moment. This was too exaggerated and left him speechless. . The Ural Potash Fertilizer Company has a net profit of 3 billion US dollars a year. If he sells it to himself, no one will sell it to him.

"Haha, it's like this. I originally acquired Ural Potash Company because it was worth investing in. Over the past ten years, I have indeed contributed a lot of money to it, but my ambition is not here. What I am really interested in is cars. I want to be a Russian automobile tycoon. So, if there is an opportunity, I am willing to sell Ural Potash Company to the right investors in exchange for enough funds to develop the automobile industry that I am interested in. " Rybolovlev. said with a smile.

Uralkali Fertilizer Company,

It was just a profit resource that Rybolovlev snatched during the turbulent era in Russia. In fact, he has no interest at all in Uralkali Fertilizer Company. This is evident from the fact that Rybolovlev only visited the Ural Potash Company three times in more than ten years. Of course, even if you don't like it, Uralkali Fertilizer Company is indeed a very profitable company, and it will never sell it at a low price. As for selling to Lin Feng this time, it is very simple, because he believes that this time will be a good opportunity to sell Ural Potash Company at a high price.

He owns more than half of the shares of Ural Potash Company. Although Ural Potash Company is not currently listed, based on the annual profit margin of Ural Potash Company and the demand for potash fertilizer in the Chinese market, Rybolovlev believes that he holds more than half of the shares. It can be sold for 15-18 billion US dollars! His net worth will also expand due to this transaction.

As for whether Lin Feng will buy it, he believes that this is not a problem. It would be impossible for Lin Feng not to buy it. Potassium fertilizer is too important to Chinese agriculture. Even if Lin Feng doesn't buy it, the Chinese government will. This opportunity is rare. If you miss this time, there will be no next time.

Lin Feng was naturally tempted at this moment. This opportunity is rare. Although I don’t have enough funds, I can get financing through the ‘Second Bank’. Moreover, I believe that as long as this matter is discussed with the country, the country will definitely support it fully and will agree no matter how much money is spent. So, money is never an issue.

But Lin Feng was still a little doubtful as to why Rybolovlev wanted to sell the Ural Potash Company. You know, potash fertilizer is a real huge profit industry. At present, the world's major potash companies have established two major alliances, namely the Belarusian Potash Alliance established by Ural Potash Company and Belarusian Potash Company (Belarusian Potash Alliance), and the North American Potash Fertilizer Company composed of Canadian Potash Company, Canadian Jiayang Company and US-Canadian joint venture Mosaic Company. alliance.

The two major alliance companies occupy two-thirds of the market share, forming an absolute monopoly on potassium fertilizers, controlling prices, and enjoying an era of huge profits. Why would Rybolovlev sell such a hugely profitable industry? This doesn’t make sense!

"Mr. Rybolovlev, I am indeed very interested in Ural Potash Company, but I have two questions. First, will Putin agree? Second, what is the price?" Lin Feng asked.

"Haha, regarding the first point, it's very simple. I will talk to President Putin in person, and Mr. Lin has a close relationship with President Putin. I believe President Putin won't mind. As for the price, I plan to sell it for US$18 billion!" Rybolovlev said loudly. Although his psychological price is 15 billion US dollars, but now that Lin Feng is such a good buyer, he will naturally want to open his mouth.

$18 billion! Lin Feng calculated and calculated that based on the current profits of Ural Potash, it would take at least 12 years to recover the cost of investing this money. After calculating the relevant interest, it will take about 20 years. After 20 years, you will start to make money. Judging from the return on investment profit, the price is not that high. But one of the issues that needs to be discussed is whether potash fertilizer profits will always be so profitable. This is what Lingru needs to be concerned about.

Potassium fertilizers are hugely profitable now, but will they continue to be hugely profitable in the next 20 years? Of course, this price is negotiable. US$18 billion is the price offered by Rybolovlev. This does not mean that Lin Feng must accept it. Bargaining is the basic quality of business negotiation.

"Mr. Rybolovlev, please let me think about the acquisition. In this way, I will stay in Monaco for three days and let me think about it carefully." Lin Feng said in a deep voice.

"That's it. I will have fun in the beautiful country of Monaco for the next three days, and wait for the good news from Mr. Lin in three days." Rybolovlev smiled and nodded. He had already seen the desire to buy from Lin Feng's eyes. As expected, the two parties should reach an agreement in three days. The only difference is the final purchase price. And this is not a big problem for Rybolovlev.

US$18 billion was just a price he casually offered, and he would be satisfied with US$12 billion in the end. He would be able to accept more than $10 billion. As for Lin Feng inviting him to join Monaco Club, he will be very happy no matter what the joining method is. As long as he has money, he is very willing to spend it. He enjoys spending money more than making money.

Three years later, Lin Feng and Rybolovlev met again.

"Rebolovlev, regarding the Ural Potash Company, I am willing to acquire it, but the price is too high." Lin Feng said with a smile, "The profits of the Ural Potash Company are indeed amazing, but after these three days, I Everyone knows that although potash fertilizer companies are still a hugely profitable industry, as countries invest in potash fertilizers, many small companies are grabbing this market. It is very likely that in the future, the potash fertilizer market will be in trouble. Perhaps the current monopoly alliance will So it broke."

Regarding this speculation, Lin Feng was just talking nonsense. Of course, this is not purely nonsense, because in 2008, an unprecedented world financial crisis will break out. At that time, the world economy will stagnate and global commodity transactions will be restricted. Although potassium fertilizer is an agricultural product, it will also be affected by the entire financial crisis. will be seriously affected. After all, if you produce so much agricultural products, there must be buyers. Under the financial crisis, the consumption level of all incomes will decline, which will naturally affect agricultural products. Potassium fertilizers are also affected. Moreover, the huge monopoly profits in recent years have caused many small potash fertilizer companies to seek breakthroughs. In a financial crisis, there will definitely be a breakthrough.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Lin Feng to offer such a high price. Any acquisition before the financial crisis must be cautious and the transaction risks must be carefully evaluated as well as the profit returns that may be brought to oneself in the future.

Rybolovlev remained silent, but he was secretly shocked. He doesn't know about the financial crisis, but he does know one thing, that is, the conflicts between the two major alliances of potash fertilizer companies are getting bigger and bigger. Because in the past, the potash fertilizers produced by both parties were uniformly sold by their respective alliances. This will naturally lead to unfairness in profit distribution. In particular, several major potash fertilizer companies, such as Uralkali Fertilizer Company and Canadian Potash Fertilizer Company, one occupies 20% of the market share and the other 24%. Together, the two companies have close to half of the global market share. Moreover, the quality of its products is also the best, but the profit is not that high. Businessmen pursue profits! No one wants to make more money.

There are already traces of division here, and there will inevitably be chaos. Therefore, Rybolovlev did not want to have a headache in the future, so he chose to sell and cash out in time.

"Mr. Lin, how much do you bid?" Rybolovlev asked.

"Haha, 8 billion US dollars! This is a very suitable value for Ural Potash Company at the moment!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

Rybolovlev frowned. This price is too low! Moreover, Lin Feng paid back more than half of the price after counter-offering. This was like buying clothes!
