Although this remote sensing satellite enterprise, is a special enterprise that is included in the control by the national security department and imposes a variety of restrictions, but if the buyer is a genuine American, and also the famous Rothschild family, then all the control means can be perfectly bypassed.
The owners and shareholders were looking forward to cashing out, so when they heard that the number two Rothschild was coming to talk about a takeover, they organised a vote online.
Without exception, everyone was in favour of the sale.
So the founder and CEO immediately started negotiating with his partners and investors about the bottom line of the acquisition.
On Steve’s way to Houston, they agreed on a few points regarding the acquisition.
If the other party is a one-time payment for the acquisition, the bottom price can be pulled down to three billion U.S. dollars, as long as the contract given by Steve is above this amount, you can sign the agreement;
If the payment for the acquisition needs to be divided into batches and instalments, and the total payment cycle is more than one year, but there are no other additional clauses, the reserve price should be raised to three billion three hundred million U.S. dollars, and for every one year increase in the payment cycle, it will be increased by 10% on the basis of three billion U.S. dollars;
If the payment for the acquisition needs to be divided into batches and instalments, and there are additional performance bets as well as non-compete agreements, then the reserve price has to start from four billion dollars, and the first instalment must be paid two billion dollars.
Everyone reached a consensus, CEO Carl Lucas then forced down the excitement, waiting for Steve’s arrival in the office.
After arriving in New York, Steve rushed to Houston almost non-stop.
Originally, he could have let Carl Lucas take the core team to New York to meet him, but in order to understand more about this business, but also in order to better enlist the people, he decided to personally come to a trip, after all, the acquisition of this company, is only Ye Chen’s initial requirements, so that this company is stable and controllable for Ye Chen to continue to run, is the most important.
When Steve, accompanied by a group of bodyguards and entourage, came to the company’s headquarters in Houston, including the CEO, all the executives were lined up in front of the tarmac on the roof of the building.
Three helicopters came successively, due to the apron only one, the first two helicopters are landed to wait for the passengers to get off the aircraft, and then re-takeoff, two aircraft down all the bodyguards, the number of nearly twenty people.
When the third helicopter landed, Steve and his own several assistants walked off the helicopter, CEO Carl Lucas wanted to go forward, but was stopped by several bodyguards a few metres away from the position, to be bodyguards after the bodyguard searched, only to be allowed to come to Steve near the front.
Seeing Steve, Carl Lucas said with some excitement, “Mr Rothschild, it’s a great honour to meet you, I’m the CEO of Skyline, Carl Lucas, you can call me Carl!”
Steve nodded slightly and shook his hand, then said, “Hello Carl, I think you’ve made my intentions for coming clear, next find a conference room and let’s have a good talk.”
Carl immediately said, “Yes Mr Rothschild, please follow me and I will show you to the conference room.”
Steve smiled as he stepped out, a group of bodyguards immediately surrounded him and Karl to the top floor conference room of the office building.
After the two arrived at the conference room, the other executives could only be searched one by one before being allowed to enter.
In order to prevent the crowd from being too chaotic, Carl only brought two people to the meeting, one was the company’s chief technology officer and the other was the company’s chief financial officer.
After Steve took his seat, he said to Carl, “Carl, why don’t you introduce me to the general situation of your company first.”
