Reborn in the Tokyo Bubble Era

Page 373

The boat is more than 95% complete, all that remains is some interior fittings and decoration work.

At the speed of this ship, one month is enough time to travel from Yidali to Tokyo.Tao Zhiming insisted on holding the wedding on this ship on October 10, more than a month earlier than the contracted delivery time to Tokyo.

Tao Zhiming didn't come here purely because it was his birthday that day.

In order to swallow Azimut in the future, Tao Zhiming's plan can be advanced a bit with the help from the royal family of Oyert...

So after the dinner, Paul Vitali came to discuss the remaining matters, and Tao Zhiming said: "Add money, how much extra money is needed, I will pay."

It's not easy to be a layman with extra money. Seeing Paul Vitali's hesitation about the yacht order from Hassar, Tao Zhiming said so readily.

If he wants to plot against Azimut, the sweetness must be given first.

"The yacht of Prince Hassar..."

Tao Zhiming smiled slightly: "This is a bit troublesome, because Prince Hassar requested that the two yachts be completed together, and it must be completed by the end of 91 before the end of the year when His Majesty the King turns 70. Even if it is the speed of Azimut, Is it too difficult? Even if it is only a slight improvement on the shape of my yacht, the construction period is too fast."

"Isn't that only two years and three months?" Paul Vitali asked in a low voice, "Or two ships together?"

Tao Zhiming looked at Hasal helplessly: "So you are embarrassing me and others."

"This matter is very important, very important!" Hassar just nodded to emphasize this point.

Tao Zhiming looked at Paul Vitali, who was gritting his teeth and thinking, smiled and said: "Mr. Paul, even if we temporarily expand production capacity, it may be too late. The best way is to buy another yacht company , Directly annex their production capacity. It should be worth it for the sake of a large order of 5 million meters."

"But the acquisition of a yacht company, so..." Paul Vitali stopped abruptly, and then looked at Tao Zhiming, "Mr. Tao, you mean..."

"These two yachts entrusted me with all the construction and subsequent operation and maintenance. For the consideration of the payment for the trade order and future business, I can only consider completing this matter as soon as possible." Tao Zhiming looked helpless, "The fastest way now is to sell Bravo Riva to Azimut. Mr. Paul, I ask you to call the shareholders, not just to discuss the order of the two yachts. While I am here, together Let’s talk about the Riva merger.”

Trisha looked aside, is the plan for Azimut officially started?

……

At that time, when he came to Yidali to formally negotiate the order of Tao Ran, Tao Zhiming stated that he only needed a stable yacht supplier in the future, so he did not exclude Azimut from acquiring RIVA in the future.

In the past two years, after RIVA was transferred to Tao Zhiming, it only produced some small and medium-sized yachts exclusively for the Asia-Pacific market, and there was not much conflict with Azimut.

But now, Tao Zhiming, who has already accounted for 10% of the shares in Azimut, if he transfers all the brand, team and production capacity of RIVA to Azimut, it will not be a small amount of money.

At the beginning, Tao Zhiming bought it for 5000 million yuan, but now if he wants to transfer it to Azimut, Azimut has a lot to consider.

First of all, if the production capacity cannot be quickly increased, there is no way to meet the requirements of the royal family of Oyert.Then, Azimut will have to watch helplessly that he can only get an order for one ship at most, and RIVA cannot handle the other ship independently, but Riva will have a chance to join forces with others.And if this order is taken by other more powerful competitors, it will be cultivating enemies for Azimut.

Secondly, even if Tao Zhiming does not reject the acquisition of RIVA, in what way?For a wholly-owned acquisition in cash, Tao Zhiming, who already holds the order, will of course raise a higher premium. If it is not tens of millions or even nearly 3000 million yuan, it will not be able to get it.With so much money, it was too much pressure for Azimut.The order for the Tao Ran is a rare high-quality order, with timely payment and a short cycle.But after deducting the capital cost of expanding production capacity, the net profit of this ship is probably less than 87 million yuan, which is evenly divided into the three fiscal years of 88, 89 and [-].

Thirdly, if some cash and some shares are adopted, wouldn’t Tao Zhiming’s shareholding in Azimut break through 30%?Then his right to speak is too heavy.The rest of Azimut's shareholders are definitely in a dilemma.

In the end, Tao Zhiming was entrusted by the royal family of Oyert to obtain this order based on his friendship with Hassar.But what if something happens to Oyert's royal family and there is a problem with the project?Tao Zhiming himself is just an intermediary party, and the payment of funds for the next two yacht orders must not be as smooth as the previous one, and the risks have to be considered.

Tao Zhiming brought up this new situation, and Hassar came here not just to visit the new yacht, but to beat the side drum.He plausibly emphasized that the budget for the yacht is absolutely sufficient and timely, because it is specially prepared by the royal family to celebrate the 70th birthday of His Majesty the King.

As a result, Azimut's shareholders were in a dilemma. They could not accept this super large order with a unit price higher than that of Tao Zhiming's yacht, but they also felt very nervous about the financial pressure.

The key is that time waits for no one. For a yacht of this level, if the construction period is compressed for another two or three months, there is indeed time to do it.But if it is delayed for a few months because of negotiations, it will never be possible.

"...I thought it was a matter of building a boat, but it was a matter of sufficient funds. I saw that his boat was built faster than others." Hasar looked innocent and dandy, "I just told Bravo today. , the yacht I want has to be delivered in advance."

Tao Zhiming looked helpless, and his expression seemed to tell everyone: You have all seen that it is not me who is unreliable, but these big dogs who think that money is omnipotent.

This is indeed the style of the Oyert royal family. It is too easy to share the dividends of the oil mining rights.

Seeing that Paul Vitali and others looked difficult, Tao Zhiming said: "If there is a new order, the loan should be easy, right? I don't need much shares in Azimut, but the relationship between the two yachts The payment for the trade order between me and the Ouyert royal family, so the progress needs to be guaranteed no matter what."

Paul Vitali looked at him and asked: "Then Mr. Tao, if RIVA is to be acquired, what is your expectation for the acquisition price?"

Tao Zhiming complained to Hassar: "If it wasn't for this trouble, I would continue to make money steadily and steadily, and the market would continue to open. It was hard to bring the yacht trend in Neon!"

Hassar just grinned.

Tao Zhiming pretended to complain, and then said to Paulo Vitali: "At the beginning, I bought it for 5000 million yuan. For the yacht business, I invested more than 20 billion yuan in Tokyo to build a yacht home port, and also through Bravo Sport Open the market of high-end sports items together with our golf and yachts. I have finally laid the foundation, and now I really don’t want to sell it. Even if it is 1 million yuan, it can’t compare with my expected future income. At this price, I have to pay another price with RIVA A shareholder discussion."

"..." Paul Vitali thought it was true, but after Tao Zhiming took over RIVA, the momentum of development in the past two years has been really good.He has a lot of resources in Neon, Xiangdao, and the United States. With the rapid economic development of Neon, RIVA's sales revenue has more than doubled in a year, although the main orders are still placed by him Bravo Sport, left-handed instead of right-handed .However, the research report on the neon market shows that Bravo Sport has indeed opened up a large market in the Asia-Pacific side, and it is not simply holding the yacht charter service in Bravo Sport.

Hearing the quotation of 1 million yuan, and it seemed that he had to do it for the order of the Oyert royal family, Azimut's shareholders were silent.

With Azimut's current size, the valuation should be less than [-] million.It is too much pressure to spend so much money in one go for mergers and acquisitions and expansion.After all, yacht manufacturing is an industry with a long cycle, relatively large investment, and intensive capital, manpower and technology.

If it is a loan of 1 million yuan to complete the acquisition, what is the annual capital cost?

After the acquisition is over, it is necessary to invest in the construction of the two yachts in advance.Although there will definitely be the first payment, but to put it bluntly, compared to starting construction of two super yachts at the same time, how big of a problem can that little money solve compared to the construction funds that Azimut needs to prepare?

At this shareholder meeting, Tereza kept silent.

Tao Zhiming's entry into Azimut's shareholder sequence was successfully realized after the Betty family sold a part of the shares.

But this time, Betty's family can no longer continue to do so.Their own remaining shares are not enough, and they have already brought a huge customer to Azimut, so it is appropriate to propose to expand the right to speak.

Hassar coughed, and then said: "Because it is indeed the latest resolution discussed by everyone in the royal family, and now I understand that this will bring a lot of variables. Well, I can persuade Brother Walid to pass through his bank. Take a loan from Azimut, and the interest rate should be as favorable as possible. The amount... should not be less than 2000 million yuan."

Tao Zhiming also said: "I can also introduce some banks over there."

As soon as the two sang together, Azimut's shareholders looked at each other in blank dismay.

Tao Zhiming simply said: "You don't think this is some kind of conspiracy against your Azimut, do you? If you are worried that we are also called Azimut's creditors, then we will increase the capital proportionally through the shareholders, or trust you Other channels for financing are fine. Today we just need to confirm whether Azimut can take this order. If not, or only one can be taken over, then I have to contact other manufacturers as soon as possible.”

After more than two years, Tao Zhiming has proved his strength with his straightforward payment attitude and solid orders. It is obvious to all that he has driven the rapid growth of RIVA by himself.

Azimut's shareholders are really reluctant to part with this piece of fat.

The Ouyert royal family is even more extravagant and willing to spend money. The majestic royal family should give the king the highest priority in order to congratulate His Majesty on the 70th birthday, right?

Under various factors, the shareholders of Azimut finally decided to pay 15 million yuan for 4000% of the shares, plus a cash purchase of 5500 million yuan.

The 15% of the shares belonged to whoring for nothing.

That's right, after Tao Zhiming made a phone call on the spot and promised that the 15% of the shares would still be held by him according to the ratio in RIVA, the price of 9500 million yuan was decided.

It was obviously Tao Yaren who Tao Zhiming called on the phone, and this strategy had already been discussed with Tao Yaren when he met him in Tokyo.

Tao Yaren got RIVA in the form of a loan from Tao Zhiming. Now RIVA has not only earned more than two years of money, but he also has shares in what will soon become the world's top yacht manufacturing group. He got 5500 million yuan and paid it back. Tao Zhiming still has a balance after the loan, so it's worth it no matter what.

Azimut, which has integrated RIVA, will have a much larger profit and dividend scale in the next year.

Therefore, even though the Tao Ya people knew that Tao Zhiming had pressed the news that the Oyert royal family’s yacht order needed to be brought forward to this occasion, they only thought that Tao Zhiming was selling it for a better price to the pressure on the spot. The Oyert royal family conspired together to this depth.

What's more, under Tao Zhiming's suggestion, he worked together and planted other foreshadowings to make more money with this matter.

All in all, the unreliable style of the Oyert royal family in terms of luxury goods has been successfully shaped.

After Tao Zhiming and Hassar signed the agreement of intent with Azimut, they said: "It is right not to increase capital. After the construction of these two yachts goes well, Azimut should consider going public. The valuation will definitely double. The next thing is for you to raise funds as soon as possible. I will say the same thing. If you are considering Neon’s bank, please let me know if you need my help. I only have one request: the yacht must be completed on schedule. "

"Mr. Tao, don't worry. With the experience of building Bravo Palace this time, we are sure about the progress."

Tao Zhiming looked at Teresa with a smile, and then said: "The one built by RIVA's production capacity should be in charge of Miss Teresa. After all, she and the engineer I sent from RIVA are already familiar with each other. It will be smoother and avoid hidden dangers caused by management reorganization.”

"This is the best arrangement!" Paul Vitali nodded in approval.

Tereza was overwhelmed and thanked.

She is responsible for the integration of RIVA's production capacity, which naturally paves the way for the future leadership.

Now she is eager to know what Tao Zhiming's follow-up plan is, how to pull down Azimut's current major shareholders.

The shareholder meeting after the dinner had been going on for a long time, and it was almost late at night. Hassar happily invited Tao Zhiming to have a good time in front of them, and continued to create the impression that he and Tao Zhiming had a relationship together. .

Tao Zhiming, who should cooperate with him in the performance, naturally tried his best to perform, although he wanted to go back to the hotel and continue to tease the bleeding witch.

But today Tereza obviously had to give her time, she had lost sight of the water.

The party prepared by Azimut to entertain Hassar was not small, but Tao Zhiming had a taste of it, only trying to enjoy the fun at hand, and didn't go deep, and then slipped away with the excuse of being too tired due to jet lag.

It was Tereza who sent him back to the hotel. It was already so late, so of course Tereza prepared a room for herself in the hotel.

After Tao Zhiming once again deeply experienced the passion of the Betty yacht, Trisha finally asked next to him: "This incident is so sudden, is it your carefully prepared plan, is it about to start?"

"Yeah, that's why you're so excited?" Tao Zhiming kneaded with a smile. The Betty yacht was really soft and slippery, with excellent curves.

"But now that you account for 25%, does the Betty family still have the priority of redemption?"

Tao Zhiming smiled: "Why worry about the shares in my hand? In the previous Azimut, the Betty family was also a minority shareholder? Do you still want to pursue holding shares? I always need an experienced person in the yacht industry to operate. This power is also a benefit.”

Teresa's eyes sparkled brightly: "So, are you really going to liquidate those major shareholders now? How can we do that?"

At the beginning, she only thought that Tao Zhiming would control about 20% of the shares in the future, together with the Betty family and some people that the Betty family could win over in the shareholders meeting, they would control Azimut and make the Betty family the core management.

Now hearing the word "holding", Tereza knew that his ambition was more than that.However, if controlling shares are to be achieved, then even if the proportion of shares held by the Betty family does not decrease compared to before the transfer to Tao Zhiming, Tao Zhiming still needs to clear out the other current shareholders of Azimut, or only retain a small share.

Tao Zhiming patted the ambitious peach for the family's ancestral business, and reprimanded with a smile: "Now is not the time, take it step by step. Anyway, you just integrate RIVA and build the yacht you are in charge of."

Now is really not the time.

We have to wait for Azimut to get a loan from a financial institution like Citibank, which has heard the information about the big order, and to get the big pie for the future listing operation, so we have to bear the debt first.

Afterwards, the yacht that should be built has to be built, and some funds and energy will be invested in the neon market opened up by the integrated RIVA.

Anyway, the real big turmoil in the world structure will be the war in the Middle East next year, and then the red Soviets will suddenly disappear, and the neon bubble will burst, and this rapid development momentum will start to disappear with a "snap".

But now, it must be the happiest time for Azimut.

Delivered the high-profile top-level yacht, acquired another century-old brand, and continued to receive two orders from the royal family of Oyert.

They are very happy, and Tao Zhiming is also very happy, and they will not disappear with a "snap", but a continuous slap, slap, and slap.

The Betty brand yacht has not been driven for a long time, and now she has more ups and downs for the broader sea, Tao Zhiming thinks it is good to review the old and learn the new.

The witch... Anyway, I will take it along the way, and I can often see it when I go back to Neon.

Tao Zhiming listened to the timbre of the foreign brand, and suddenly thought of Shaner.

She didn't know how she would feel when she heard that the steadfast Miko sister was... so soon after she went back.

Sins, sins... Before being cut by Ueda Masahiro's sword, I should be more happy to make up for it...

Chapter 464, The title is very long, you Kang Yikang

After coming to Europe, Tao Zhiming traveled to a few more places.

Based on his arrangement, Zhang Rujing also went to ASML to deepen his understanding of lithography machines.In the past, Zhang Rujing was more an expert in factory construction and specific engineering organization, but Zhang Zhongmou was not as specialized in pure technology itself.

No, for a person like him, if he really wants to study in a certain field, not to mention that he can definitely reach the top, at least he can quickly reach the level of an expert or higher.

For the Gate of Heaven project, Tao Zhiming also met with Gucci and some well-known big brands through receptions and dinners.In his current status, he only needs to bury an introduction first, and then someone will follow up later, chatting with the bosses of both parties and implementing some cooperation intentions.

Tao Zhiming doesn't need them to pay much actual cost at all, because he only needs to provide them with a place, and even provide them with the most basic hard decoration. He only needs them to provide people and some soft decorations, and he can use the neon first. Show and sell your own products and promote your own brand in a hot place for consumption.

Products such as Mercedes-Benz cars and concepts such as indoor long-term booths are relatively new at this time.The most important thing is that the design effect and construction progress of the Gate of Heaven are displayed there.This is definitely a landmark in Tokyo's future, used to showcase high-end brands, a win-win situation.

Furthermore, which of the luxury brands in the world doesn't know that Tao Zhiming has signed a trade exclusive agreement with the royal family of Oyert?In the past few days in Europe, Hassar followed wherever he went, with the loyal appearance of a close friend, and everyone had to sell face.

So by the time Tao Zhiming's plane departed for Oyert, he had already received a lot of cooperation intentions that Kinoshita Hidekaze needed.

This is not the first time Tao Zhiming has come to Ouyerte. After arriving, he is naturally familiar with the road and does not need to meet many people. Anyway, it is just for some interested people to see: the relationship between Tao Zhiming and Hasal is really good. It's so unusual.

But this time, there is really a very important thing.

This matter was not discussed in the capital of Oyert.

"There are many rules in this country, Yao, you just stay in the hotel with the flight crew and don't go out." Tao Zhiming told Yao before departure, "I want to go to the nearby hotel with Prince Hassar and the others. Another country, but will be back tomorrow."

"I see!" Haruka Haruka knew that this was a very religious place, so he was very obedient, and then couldn't help worrying, "I still have to go to another country with the prince...is it alright?"

The title of prince, and the real prince of a monarchy country, is quite impactful to Shinto priestesses.On the one hand, I lamented that Tao Zhiming's friendship was not limited to the Nihong country, but also on people like other princes. On the other hand, I was also worried about his safety. After all, I always felt that he was probably inferior in status in front of a prince. Very hard work.

Tao Zhiming didn't know what she was thinking, so he smiled and comforted him: "It's okay, it's not the first time we went."

He and Hassar "played" together. When he arrived in Oyert, he would always be taken by Hassar to Baharin, which is known as the back garden of Oyert and the pearl of the Persian Gulf.

This country is located in the east of Oyert. It is an island country with a total area of ​​just over 700 square kilometers and a total population of less than one million. In 1986, the King Fahad Bridge, named after Hassar's father, opened to traffic, linking Oyert to Baharin.

But this country is relatively the most open area in this area, with good wine, meat, beautiful women... There are also a lot.Every weekend, it will be crowded with big dogs from surrounding countries to spend here.As a small pocket-sized country, Bahrain does not have much ambition. It just wants to make money happily. Therefore, it is also the headquarters of many multinational companies in the Middle East.

Of course, this is also because Dubai has not yet developed at this time.Later, in terms of the degree of openness and attitude of spending money, Baharin was compared.

But at this time, Baharin can be said to be the place with the richest life in this area, and it is indeed prosperous.At that time, Persian Gulf pearls were famous all over the world.Manama, the capital of Baharin, has gradually developed into a world-famous pearl distribution center, and now it has become the financial center of this area and a logistics center in the Persian Gulf.Less people and more money, the per capita GDP is very high.

In such a position, Baharin naturally had to keep a hand.In order to maintain his independent status, Baharin directly resorted to a big move: this is the headquarters of the Fifth Fleet used by the United States to suppress the countries on this side.

When Tao Zhiming passed the King Fahad Bridge in Hassar's limousine, he wondered if he would see the gathering scene of the war that shocked the world in another year.

Those things haven't happened yet, and Hassar isn't a manipulative material, and he doesn't care about the conflicts between neighbors behind Ouyert's back at all.

He happily said to Tao Zhiming: "Brother Walid has already arranged everything, so the big business you talked about this time can't be disappointing!"

Tao Zhiming said with a smile: "How could it be? This time I invited a guest from Manama, which will definitely surprise you."

"Can't you say it now?"
