Silicon Valley

Next stop, New Zealand.

Here, director Peter Jackson of Galaxy is filming "The Lord of the Rings", and the three films are continuously shot together, and then some post-production work, such as special effects processing and editing, is carried out. The picturesque scenes of New Zealand in The Lord of the Rings film are impressive. New Zealand has also become the real version of "Middle-earth" in people's eyes.

So, leaving Seychelles, Henry and others flew directly to New Zealand by plane.

...

At this moment, British Express Logistics, which is far away in the UK, has received an offer from FedEx (Earth) for acquisition.

British Express Logistics Headquarters.

Sitting at the top of the conference room, a middle-aged man in his 40s with a slightly fatter figure looked at everyone and said solemnly: "Since the merger of FedEx and Nicholas Express, FedEx (Earth) has become the world's largest company. The No. 1 express company. Now, they have started to expand again, and they want to acquire us with great ambition!"

"Mr. Colin Cotton, FedEx (Earth) has strong financial resources with the support of Duke Williams. If he wants to forcefully buy us, British Express Logistics will not escape!" A blond in a black suit The man said, "British Express is a listed company, and the stock market is fragmented. It is very easy for others to take advantage of the stock market and grab the controlling share of the company. In addition, the company has been acquiring other companies in the past two years, so the funds we can use are very high. Limited! And the stock price of British Express is a bit weird recently, I suspect that FedEx has already absorbed shares in the stock market!"

Colin Cotton nodded in agreement, "Well, you're right, it should be like this..."

At this time, another slightly older man in his fifties looked at Colin Cotton and asked, "Mr. Cotton, what conditions did FedEx give?"

"The $4.5 billion purchase price," Colin Cotton paused, then added, "is $500 million more than the market value of British Express."

"It's normal to buy at a premium, but the market value of British Express is only $4 billion, but it's a 12% premium all of a sudden! From this point of view, they are bound to acquire British Express!"

When everyone heard the words, they all fell silent.

Colin Cotton raised his head at this time and said, "Instead of being hostilely acquired by FedEx (Earth), it is better for us to talk to them first, which is good for everyone. If ... conditions are suitable, then sell Drop Yingyun Logistics!"

Everyone had no other way, and nodded in agreement: "Well, this is the best!"

There is no airtight wall in the world. Soon, the news that FedEx wanted to acquire British Express Logistics spread out, and the multi-billion dollar acquisition case was rare, which caused a huge sensation in Europe.

So, in the middle of the way, a Cheng Yaojin was killed.

Deutsche Post, the strongest logistics company in Europe, immediately held a meeting to discuss whether to snipe it.

If British Express is acquired by FedEx, its strength will be greatly increased, which will pose a greater threat to Deutsche Post's position in Europe!

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot contain two tigers. Therefore, after a brief discussion, the directors of Deutsche Post always believed that FedEx could not be allowed to acquire British Express. As a result, Deutsche Post immediately made an acquisition request to British Express Logistics. At the same time, it also began to frantically absorb the stocks of British Express Logistics in the stock market!

However, Henry Williams was the Duke of Cambridge, married to a British princess. Therefore, among the British Express Logistics Company, quite a few shareholders are more supportive of Henry. So it's a bigger picture for FedEx to win.

In the UK, the battle for British Logistics is in full swing.

In China, as soon as SF Express received the acquisition request from FedEx, it was immediately rejected.

"Sorry, SF Express does not accept acquisitions." In the office, Wang Wei frowned and said decisively to the representative of FedEx.

"Mr. Wang, your company's situation seems to be a little bad. The heads of various places don't seem to obey the dispatch of the headquarters of SF Express. There is a tendency to separate the princes. Of course, you must have seen it yourself." The representative of FedEx smiled. Said, "The best way to solve this problem is to collect the rights, buy back the SF Express that has joined the operation in various places, and operate it yourself."

When Wang Wei heard the words, he couldn't help but be taken aback, this is exactly what he is going to do next year, and he was unexpectedly guessed by the other party!

"Mr. Wang, if you accept our acquisition with sufficient funds, you can solve the company's problems as quickly as possible. And with the help of FedEx, SF Express can develop at the fastest speed and become the largest express company in China. !"

The representative of FedEx said lightly, "We will leave 20% of the shares for you, President Wang. Although it is only 20%, its value is much more than you are now. Perhaps, your worth can exceed 10 billion yuan! Of course! , you can also not accept our acquisition, then SF Express will become a competitor of FedEx! FedEx is never polite to competitors!!!”

The remarks by the representative of FedEx are both coercion and inducement. If it still doesn't work, it's useless to talk about it, and see the real chapter in your hands!

Wang Wei's face flushed a little when he heard this.

Comparing SF Express and FedEx, they are nothing, and there is no comparability. But he is stubborn and has a strong desire to control. He is not reconciled to SF Express becoming a vassal of FedEx. "SF Express will not accept acquisitions. Although FedEx is very powerful, this is China!" Wang Wei held his chest out and said. road.

"Okay, Mr. Wang, since you insist on disagreeing with FedEx's acquisition, I won't say more, please do it yourself..." The representative of FedEx smiled at Wang Wei, stood up from the seat, pushed the Opened the door and left the office.

...

Henry's plane had just arrived in New Zealand when a phone call came.

"Mr. Williams, the founder of SF Express rejected our acquisition request!"

Henry had expected it, so when he heard this, he didn't react, and said lightly: "Then according to the original plan, FedEx will take the initiative to enter mainland China, build outlets and warehouses, build fleets, fleets, and reach cooperation with local airlines. At the same time of crazy expansion, it will inevitably lead to a huge shortage of talents. Therefore, SF Express, YTO, and even China Post are good goals to dig talents at high prices. At the same time, we should establish our own talent training mechanism. In a country with a population of 300 million, the logistics industry has huge potential and must be paid attention to!”

"Yes!"

Henry hung up the phone.

At this time, Peter Jackson and local New Zealand officials came to the airport to pick up the plane.
