Chapter 2129 Being used
Lin Feng thought that his price was very generous, at least for the uneducated Luther Abe, this should be a very generous price. According to the market value, Luther Abe's 25% shares are worth at most 1.5 billion. Lin Feng offered 100 million, which was very sincere. Of course, this price is not negotiable. Lin Feng's bottom line is 2.5 billion US dollars.
Luther looked at the check in front of him, and green light flashed in his eyes. Are you tempted? Of course you are tempted. Luther Abe is a famous playboy in Germany. Relying on the remaining cuteness left by his grandfather, he has no worries about food and drink. He usually has nothing to do. Basically, he eats, drinks, gambles, and smokes. Basically, the share of more than 20 million US dollars every year is just enough for him to spend.
How can Luther not be tempted by this sudden check of 100 million US dollars. This is his annual dividend. And he is already in his thirties this year. Can he live to see? Unless the medical community creates a miracle and can create a god for gene repair, it is impossible for him to live.
Therefore, Luther had an impulse to take the 100 million US dollars. But he couldn't take the check at the moment because it was too little. Although he is a playboy, he is not a brainless person. Carl Zeiss ranks first in the global optical field and has a good prospect. He doesn't think it is worth only 100 million US dollars, otherwise Lin Feng would not have come so far. For this reason, he would not sell it for 100 million US dollars.
"Mr. Lin, you came all the way here, I am really moved by your sincerity. Especially such a bargaining chip, I can't refuse it." Luther sighed.
Lin Feng smiled unchanged, knowing that this playboy would not agree easily. It's just a sky-high price, I don't lack this money, as long as you don't go too far.
"Mr. Lin, unfortunately, I just owed Mengtekaro a bill of 700 million US dollars. If Mr. Lin can help me pay this bill and give me another 100 million US dollars, I will give you my shares in Carl Zeiss." Luther said with a smile.
Lin Feng frowned slightly.
"Mr. Abe, do you think I am a rich man or a fool? Do you think your 25% shares are worth 3.7 billion US dollars?" Lin Feng sneered.
"Haha, of course not. The market value of my shares is only about 1.5 billion US dollars, but Mr. Lin needs it, right? The so-called scarcity makes things valuable, isn't it? What's more, I heard that Mr. Lin has a grudge against the company, and Sony has become the world's top digital camera company relying on our Carl Zeiss. And if Mr. Lin can control Carl Zeiss, I think Sony will definitely come to him. Haha, then, Mr. Lin can play with Sony however he wants." Luther laughed.
"But it's not worth $1.7 billion." Lin Feng snorted coldly.
"Billions of dollars, my sincerity is enough, I hope Mr. Abe will consider it. You know, there is more than one Mr. Abe in this world."
"Haha, Mr. Lin, don't forget that I am the eldest son of the Abe family. My two brothers obey me." Luther laughed.
"Okay, Mr. Lin, I have something to do, so I'll leave first. If Mr. Lin thinks it through, you can call me at any time. But I hope you understand that I must pay this debt as soon as possible. If Mr. Lin refuses my chips, I can only go to Sony. I believe they will be very interested." Luther laughed and left.
"Damn German! Too cunning, too greedy!" Lin Chiling was so angry that her teeth itched.
"Yes, this guy is so annoying. Sooner or later, he will get his comeuppance." Wu Peici looked indignant.
"Well, this kind of person will sooner or later offend someone he shouldn't offend because of his greedy personality. If he doesn't restrain himself, he will definitely die on the street." Natalie also rarely spoke ill of him.
Lin Feng was not as angry as his three secretaries. There are more than a hundred people of all kinds. There are all kinds of birds in a big forest. In the upper class, it is not surprising to meet people like Luther. There is nothing to be angry with such people.
"Let's go and meet the other two Abe." Lin Feng ordered.
But as expected by Lin Feng, Luther's two younger brothers Jena and Mocanu threatened that if there was no billion dollars, they would never sell their 22.5% of Carl Zeiss shares. Obviously, both of them got Luther's signal, otherwise they would not call out the same price of billion dollars.
Lin Feng shook his head helplessly. These three guys really have the same taste. It's disgusting.
"Let's go and meet the Scott brothers." Lin Feng said.
But what made Lin Feng depressed was that the Scott brothers refused to sell. He claimed that this was a family inheritance, and even if the family was destroyed, it could not be sold. As the saying goes, if the shares are there, the people are alive, and if the shares are gone, the people are dead. Lin Feng was really speechless about this. Of course, the Scott brothers' behavior was normal. There were many people like them in this society who were not greedy for money. After all, their annual profit dividends were enough for them to live freely, and the two of them were not the kind of people who had high material needs, so it was normal not to sell.
"Haha, Mr. Lin, the Scott brothers made you feel embarrassed. Haha, there were many people who wanted to buy their shares in the past, including my old man, but the two of them would not sell them under any circumstances, and they didn't have any high consumption. So, if you want to buy Carl Zeiss shares, you can only find the three of us brothers." Luther's smug laughter came.
To be honest, Lin Feng wanted to slap him to death. This guy is so annoying.
"2.5 billion, this is my highest offer." Lin Feng said coldly.
"Mr. Lin, 100 million US dollars, plus 700 million bills, not only will I sell you this 25% of the shares, I will also let my two brothers sell you 45% of their shares. In this way, you will directly become the largest shareholder of Carl Zeiss." Luther said with a smile.
Lin Feng shook his head.
"Mr. Lin, aren't you afraid that I will contact Sony? I believe that these few billion US dollars are not a big number for them. And mastering Carl Zeiss is enough for them to become the king of the digital camera market. Can you tolerate the company's strength?" Luther threatened implicitly.
Lin Feng laughed.
"Mr. Abe, I believe that the conditions offered by Sony are definitely not as high as mine. If Sony really has this money to acquire Carl Zeiss shares, I am afraid it would have acquired it long ago." Lin Feng said coldly.
Sony is not a fool. If there is really enough profit, Lin Feng believes that Sony must have acquired it long ago. Why Sony did not acquire Carl Zeiss, it is obvious that there must be some reason. From Lin Feng's point of view, there are probably two reasons: First, the three Abe brothers are too greedy and the price they ask is too outrageous; second, it doesn't really make much difference to Sony whether they acquire or not. They will use Carl Zeiss lenses if they acquire, and they will still use Carl Zeiss lenses if they don't acquire. After all, Carl Zeiss sells lenses and it is impossible for them not to do business.
"Yes, Sony will not offer too high a price. But it is different now. With Mr. Lin here, I think Sony will be happy to offer a high price." Luther laughed.
Luther understood the grudges between Lin Feng and Sony. If Sony would consider the cost before and would not buy his shares, but once it knew that Lin Feng intended to get involved in Carl Zeiss, Luther believed that Sony would no longer care about this little high price. If Lin Feng controlled Carl Zeiss, I believe it would be a huge blow to Sony. Therefore, Sony would definitely raise the price against each other. At that time, the three brothers would benefit.
Lin Feng cursed inwardly. The three Abe brothers treated him and Sony as a fool. However, Lin Feng could predict that if Sony really knew that he was interested in Carl Zeiss, it would raise the price crazily and would never let him take over Carl Zeiss. If he took over Carl Zeiss, Sony would be in big trouble. Therefore, even if Sony knew that the three brothers of Abe were raising the price, they would not say anything.
"Mr. Abe, give me three days to think about it. Within three days, I hope to retain my exclusive purchase rights." Lin Feng whispered.
"Haha, of course. Mr. Lin is always my first choice." Luther laughed and hung up the phone.
"Boss, are you really going to compromise with this abominable guy!" Lin Chiling said angrily.
"Boss, spend 9.7 billion US dollars to buy % of Carl Zeiss shares. If this gets out, we will be laughed to death." Wu Peici said.
Natalie did not speak. In her opinion, if Lin Feng still wants to acquire Carl Zeiss, he must accept Luther's conditions. Otherwise, when Sony intervenes, it will be difficult to acquire it. This time is helpless and sad, but it must be accepted.
"Boss, prepare the funds. If you want revenge, you can make the money back after the god-making event." Natalie suggested. With the character of the three Abe brothers, they would spend the money on wine and women. When the time comes, Lin Feng can use a little trick to drag the two into the gambling game of the rich and powerful, and he can definitely win it back.
But Lin Feng shook his finger. In this way, it is not certain whether Luther and the other two will be fooled. Even if they are really fooled, he may not necessarily win in the game, and this method is too despicable. Lin Feng is not so despicable as to cheat.
To punish the three Luther brothers, Lin Feng will never use such a despicable method. That would ruin his character.
"Boss, what are you going to do?" The three secretaries explained with a puzzled look.
"Let's go to Meng Tekaro!" Lin Feng ordered.
Meng Tekaro? The three women's eyes lit up. Could it be that Lin Feng was going to start with the gambling debts owed by Luther? But Lin Feng has no acquaintances in Mengte Carol. Those casino tycoons have no reason to sell Lin Feng's account! a.
