I want to get to $50 billion.
So this industry, there's a clear path of how I can do that.
Now, I can't just buy... And there's...
Roughly about 7,000 distributors here in the United States is about almost twice that amount in Western Europe.
So it's roughly about 20,000 distributors.
You've got to be very careful about who you buy.
There has to be a reason why you're buying that company.
There has to be a compelling strategic reason of why you're buying that company.
What makes sense for that?
Why is that good for customers?
Why is that going to make our business a better business?
Why does that fit with the other things that we've already bought and put together?
How's it going to integrate well?
I like to look at
the multiples that I pay for an acquisition.
The price that I pay for an acquisition is very, very important because when I look at the levers of how we create shareholder value, what contributes to that?
The biggest lever, the biggest component is the differential between what I raise capital at due to my relationships with mostly institutional investors and because of the track record and what I can deploy that at
on doing acquisitions.
The second biggest lever is, how much can I improve the businesses that I buy?
There's many, many levers, but those are the two biggest levers.
