The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5823

“Without going public, Gideon could only hold onto this business and its annual profit of tens of millions of dollars. What he actually gets in hand is just about tens of millions. His dream of going public and cashing in several hundred million seems hopeless.”

Charlie was surprised by how quickly Sophie could summarize so much useful information in just 10 minutes. He greatly appreciated her business acumen, judgment, and skills.

He asked Sophie, “Miss Schulz, from your perspective, how much should we offer to successfully acquire this company?”

Sophie replied, “Mr. Wade, based on the information I've gathered so far, Gideon, their boss, publicly holds 57.6% of the shares, but when factoring in other equity structures and option holdings, the overall ownership should be around 78.5%, making him the unquestionable major shareholder. To successfully acquire Violet Group, as long as we can get Gideon's approval, it will be considered a success.”

“Judging from Gideon's current income situation, if he continues to operate this business, he could make three or four hundred million dollars in a good year, but if luck isn't on his side, he might not make a single penny for the whole year, or even incur losses. Looking ahead over the next twenty years, the net earnings he could personally receive from Violet Group shouldn't exceed six hundred million dollars.”

“If our offer can guarantee him more than six hundred million dollars in net income after he sells, without any gambling clauses or waiting periods, he has no reason to refuse our acquisition. Dividing six hundred million by his ownership percentage of 78.5%, our total offer to Violet Group should be around seven hundred and sixty million dollars.”

Sophie looked at the time and said, “It's almost sunset here, but since you're in Pu'er, there's still over an hour until sunset there. If everything goes smoothly, I should be able to get his approval before sunset on your side. As soon as he agrees, I can immediately pay him a deposit of one hundred million dollars, and then send a team of lawyers to handle the transfer procedures overnight!”

“One hour?” Charlie smiled at this response and said, “Okay, then. In that case, I'll wait for news from you here. As soon as he agrees and you pay the deposit, tell him that we need to send two consultants to the base at Mount Violet for inspection first and ask him to inform the base manager to prepare for the reception!”
