章節 95: 096: Liu Jie Is Shocked—20% of Tencent Shares for 2.07 Billion!
Fanmes realized that Su Yan was no ordinary person.
The moment Su Yan opened his mouth, he revealed the maximum number of shares Fanmes could sell. That level of insight unnerved him.
"Young Master Su, you truly live up to your reputation, especially after securing the naming rights for the Dragon Kingdom at the Olympics. It's impressive."
With a serious tone, Fanmes continued, "To be honest, under my authority, the most I can sell this time is 20% of the shares."
He went on to explain, "At HIM, we've had some internal disagreements regarding Tencent's future. Some believe the stock price has peaked, and if we don't reduce our holdings now, the losses will only grow over time. But… others think Tencent still has room to rise. Given this divide, the decision was made to reduce our stake by 20%. If Tencent's stock continues to drop, more shares may be sold."
Su Yan already knew that Tencent's stock wouldn't fluctuate much in the next few years. Whether it was Tencent or Alibaba, he had ample time to increase his holdings. But right now, securing those 20% of shares was crucial.
Ma Huateng could hardly contain his excitement. If HIM handed those 20% to Su Yan, along with his own 11% and the shares held by their allies, his position within the company would be secure for the foreseeable future.
"Mr. Fanmes," Su Yan said, "I want all of those 20% of shares. So, let's discuss the price."
Fanmes felt a surge of happiness. Su Yan appeared wealthy enough to buy all 20%, and he hoped to secure a good price.
"Mr. Su, we're prepared to sell the 20% shares to you for 2.15 billion. What do you think?"
Fanmes switched back to South African Dutch since his chinese wasn't quite up to par. Su Yan responded in fluent Dutch.
"That price is a bit steep, given the current market," Su Yan remarked. "But if HIM were to sell more shares, say, 30%, I'd be willing to offer 3.4 billion."
Even the well-experienced Fanmes was taken aback by Su Yan's immense wealth. If he had full control over HIM, he would have immediately sold Su Yan 30% of the shares. It wasn't every day that such an opportunity came along.
"3.4 billion is a very tempting offer, Mr. Su, but unfortunately, I can't make that call. The company would never agree to release such a large portion unless Tencent's stock tanked dramatically. Right now, 20% is the maximum we can offer."
Su Yan countered, "2.15 billion is still too high. Mr. Fanmes, you know as well as I do that, given the current downturn in the tech industry, HIM wouldn't be selling these shares if they weren't in a hurry. How about this—2.07 billion, and the money can be transferred immediately."
Su Yan's current cash flow exceeded 7 billion, making him more than capable of snapping up all of HIM's shares if they were offered.
Fanmes began to suspect that there was an insider at HIM feeding Su Yan information. The numbers he mentioned were precisely at HIM's limit, making it nearly impossible to refuse.
After all, how many people in the entire Dragon Kingdom could produce such a large amount of cash on short notice? Perhaps only someone like the richest man, Wang Jianlin. But even then, Wang Jianlin might not be interested in spending that much on Tencent shares.
"In that case," Fanmes said, extending his hand, "we have a deal. Congratulations, Mr. Su, on successfully acquiring 20% of Tencent's shares."
The two men continued their conversation in Dutch for some time, while Ma Huateng and Zhang Xiaolong, unable to follow, anxiously awaited the outcome. However, the last sentence was clear enough for Ma Huateng to understand—20% of shares had been secured!
"Mr. Su, how much did you get the shares for?" Ma Huateng asked, still stunned.
Su Yan replied calmly, "2.07 billion."
At that moment, Liu Jie, who had been sitting quietly beside Su Yan, felt her legs tense up.
2.07 billion—spent just like that.
She couldn't help but wonder, How much money does this guy actually have?
