Football Giants

　　 Robert Bryce White, chairman of Sunseeker Yacht, and Steward McEntyre, CEO, were surprised when they saw Yang Huan because they were too young.

　　 This is the Chinese big gold master who just acquired Southampton and invested a lot of money to introduce super center Ibrahimovic?

　　 It seems that he is only about twenty years old. Does he really have such a great ability?

　　 Yang Huan just walked off the Rolls Royce, and, accompanied by Keish Harris, walked onto a highway bridge.

Under the 　　 bridge is a backwater passage connecting Upton Inner Lake and the English Channel.

　　The shipbuilding factory of Sunseeker Yacht Company is on the east bank of the backwater channel. Standing on the bridge, you can have a panoramic view of everything outside the factory.

　　 “Old, too old!” Yang Huan shook his head.

　　 The entire Sunseeker shipbuilding factory is like an old factory building decades ago, about the size of two or three football fields. On the backwater channel outside, a few yachts and some ship-shaped molds are sparsely docked.

　　 At least, this yacht company is definitely not as glamorous as you see in newspapers or magazines.

　　 On the contrary, it gave Yang Huan the first impression and impression that it could not keep up with the old age.

　　 “It has been thirty-two years since the establishment of our factory, and we still retain everything from that year, including the ship molds of every yacht we produced. These are our treasures.”

　　 The gray-haired Robert Bryce White stepped onto the road bridge and came to Yang Huan and Kesh Harris.

　　 Dragon Five seemed to realize that they were not in danger, so after looking at these two people, he continued to play the game.

“Moreover, yacht building, especially luxury yachts, is different from other industries. Basically everything is made by hand. Therefore, the modern equipment for standardized production is basically not used. The factory building is relatively simple and does not require too much. Machinery and equipment and production lines.”

　　 This can also explain why Sunseeker Yacht Company pays no attention to the factory buildings and offices.

　　 But in Yang Huan’s view, this kind of explanation doesn’t work. After all, there is no money.

　　If you have money, who wouldn’t want to make the factory better and give workers a better working environment?

In fact, after coming to the UK, Yang Huan really felt the helplessness and sadness of the fallen empire. Even the east, south and north of London were basically still in the environment of the age decades or even hundreds of years ago. .

　　 includes buildings, factories, and even people.

　　 This is a retro flavor that has no hope in sight and cannot keep up with the times.

“Hello, I’m the chairman of Sunseeker Yacht Company, Robert Bryce White.” The gray-haired old man reached out to Yang Huan, and after shaking hands, he pointed to another gray-haired old man beside him, “This is us CEO, Steward McEntyre.”

　　 After Yang Huan and Kash Harris shook hands with them one after another, Yang Huan proposed to go to the factory to see his yacht.

　　 Zhang Ning had been in contact with Sunseeker Yachts before, and the other party knew that the yacht that originally belonged to John Hunter had now been transferred to Yang Huan’s name.

　　 “I’m sorry, Mr. Yang Huan, your yacht is still in the modeling stage for the time being.” McEntire said apologetically.

　　 “Modeling?”

“That’s it. The manufacture of a yacht requires a set of molds, and the molds are available as well as customized. If it is a ready-made mold, it is simpler and the construction progress is relatively fast. That’s why I will say that Molds are our greatest treasure, because there are so many choices for customers.”

“But there are also some who pursue personalization, which requires customized molds. Generally, it takes one or two months to build a set of molds, and usually this kind of personalized mold may be used once, so the price of a personalized yacht is high. A set of ship-shaped molds occupies one third of it.”

　　 Hearing McEntire’s words, Yang Huan somewhat understood the twists and turns.

　　 “How long will it take for my yacht to be delivered?” This is what Yang Huan cares most about.

　　 just had a very unpleasant quarrel with Aston Martin, he didn’t want to have problems with Sunseeker.

After listening to Yang Huan’s question, McEntire and Bryce White looked at each other. They were very embarrassed and could not give a specific answer. In the end, McEntire replied with a wry smile, “This, we also There is no guarantee.”

　　 “Why?” Yang Huan was strange, how come he is so good?

　　 Doesn’t it mean that the customer is God?

　　 Now that God pays the money first, you who serve God are all playing big cards?

　　 really when God is not angry?

　　 Still, you don’t treat me as God at all?

　　 McEntire couldn’t say, Bryce White thought for a while and stepped forward.

　　 “Mr. Yang Huan, in fact, to tell you, we are in trouble.”

　　 “Trouble?” Yang Huan was puzzled.

　　Sunseeker Yacht is known as Rolls Royce at sea. They will also have trouble?

　　 Bryce White took a deep breath. He was powerless and could only find help from the outside.

　　 “Actually, we have a bank debt of 20 million pounds that is about to mature, but we are temporarily unable to extract funds to repay it, so we are currently considering accepting an Irish private equity company’s acquisition.”

　　 McEntire was afraid that Yang Huan would be angry, and added, “But we can guarantee that the construction of this yacht will be completed in the shortest possible time and delivered as soon as possible.”

　　Private equity companies are actually similar to private equity funds. The difference is that they don’t invest in the stock market. They specialize in buying and selling companies, earning a huge intermediate price difference to get profits, and sometimes it can even double up to several times.

　　 But it is usually acquired by private equity companies, and basically cannot escape the fate of restructuring and splitting.

　　 It seems that this Sunseeker yacht is really desperate!

　　 Yang Huan shook his head, and couldn’t help but think of what Keish Harris said in the car just now.

For these world-renowned luxury goods, because of the impact of the subprime mortgage and European debt crisis, they have temporarily fallen into a trough, but as long as they survive the difficult period of the financial crisis, they will soon return to the ranks of world luxury goods .

　　Because of this world, there will always be people who tirelessly pursue the most high-end luxury goods.

Kesh Harris on the side saw Yang Huan’s thoughtful behavior, and then looked at the helplessness of Bryce White and McEntire when they were acquired and the urgency of debt pressure. He knew in his heart and laughed. Smiled.

“Master Huan, the real estate company of your Yang Group seems to be aggressively entering the tourism industry in China recently. I heard that in the next three to four years, real estate projects and yacht clubs will be built in five or six coastal cities, with a total investment of several billion yuan. GBP.”

　　 When Bryce White and McEntire heard it, their eyes lit up, billions of pounds?

　　 God, it turns out that this Chinese is so rich!

　　 “It turns out that Mr. Yang Huan is also interested in investing in yachts?”

　　 Yang Huan heard the overtones of Kesh Harris, in fact, he also had his own calculations.

　　 “Well, I have always been interested in yachts. We have two Sunseeker yachts in our family. One is for the company to receive customers and the other is my own. I have always had a pretty good impression of your yachts.”

　　 Bryce White immediately hit the snake with a stick, and asked with a smile, “Then I wonder if Mr. Yang Huan is interested in acquiring our Sunseeker Yacht?”

　　It is much better to be acquired by a private owner, especially a big gold owner from China, than to be acquired by a private equity company. At least there is no need to worry about being reorganized or split, and there is no need to worry about being sold again in a short time.

　　 Especially being bought by a big benefactor like Yang Huan is tantamount to embracing a thick thigh.

“Acquisition of Sunseeker Yachts?” Yang Huan smiled and shook his head. “I don’t know or are familiar with this industry. I am not familiar with this industry. I am not familiar with it. People who are so familiar with the yacht industry do it like this. I, a layman, if I rush in, I guess I will only suffer a big loss.”

　　 Yang Huan shook his head like a rattle, “No more!”

Although Sunseeker Yachts is a big name, almost all of the luxury goods industry is in recession nowadays. Mergers and acquisitions by peers are impossible, and foreign investors are rarely interested. So far, only the Irish private equity company still has the purpose of making money. It’s here, so it’s rare to meet a Yang Huan, they are not willing to let go.

　　Bryce White has worked hard to manage Sunseeker Yachts for more than 30 years, but he has never made much money.

　　 He asked himself to be a very conscientious yacht craftsman, but he may not be a qualified business operator.

　　If you can sell your company for cash in your old age, while the company is still worthwhile, it would be better than letting the company go bankrupt.

“Mr. Yang Huan, in fact, the yacht industry is similar to some other industries, and if you plan to operate a yacht club, there is a yacht manufacturing company behind it, especially with the support of a top yacht brand like our Sunseeker, it will be quite huge. At the very least, it is more advantageous than others in terms of boat purchase and maintenance.”

“Also, in fact, our business situation at Shengxi has not been very good in recent years. It is the brainchild of our family’s hard work for more than 30 years. We don’t want to be entrusted to others. If you are interested in Mr. Yang Huan If so, we can give appropriate discounts on the purchase price.”

　　 “Are there discounts?” Yang Huan laughed after hearing this, “How much?”

　　 “250 million pounds!” Bryce White offered a psychological price.

　　 “250 million pounds?” Yang Huan was still very calm, and it was about 2.5 billion yuan.

　　 But he did not comment, but looked at Kesh Harris.

　　 The savvy financial city investment consultant immediately smiled and shook his head, “Mr. Bryce White, your price is too ridiculous, isn’t it true that Master Huan is a triumphant?”

　　 “What do you mean?” Yang Huan looked at Kash Harris and asked.

“Master Huan, according to the information collected by our bank, the peak of Sunseeker Yachts was from 2002 to 2004, but even at the peak, the company’s net profit was only Three percent ~www.wuxiax.com~ and in the following years, even less than three percent.”

“So Sunseeker Yachts has bank liabilities all the year round, usually between 10 million and 20 million pounds. Years with good sales are less, and years with poor sales are more. But in recent years, they have become serious. They can’t make ends meet, and if my information is correct, their bank debt has reached 30 million pounds.”

　　 Bryce White was sweating coldly all over. This Kesh Harris is indeed a well-known investment advisor in the City of London. He knows everything well. It’s not easy.

　　 Yang Huan shook his head after hearing it, and tweeted twice, “Kish, I really don’t think it’s a good deal to hear you say this.”

“According to them, Sunseeker is mainly short of funds. I have to invest a sum of money in the acquisition, and at least I have to be able to repay the bank debts, but it is calculated based on their net profit of less than 3%. How young is it to make money back? And the healthy operation of the company must be guaranteed.

　　 “This business cannot be done!”

　　 “I really can’t do it!”

　　 Yang Huan shook his head, Bryce White and McEntyre all fell into the bottom.

　　 It’s really going to be acquired by private equity, and they certainly won’t get the slightest benefit.

　　 “Forget it, although I am still very interested in acquiring Sunseeker Yachts, I still can’t afford such a high price and so many problems.”

　　 After finishing speaking, Yang Huan winked at Kash Harris and walked forward.

　　 The British fat man is very smart and immediately follows up.
