King of Industry

Chapter 567 You Picked the Wrong Competitor

In the Louvre Cafe, the arrival of Jin Xiuzhu attracted the attention of many people in the cafe.

There were two imposing bodyguards, but not a single young man who was not open-eyed came over to strike up a conversation.

Of course, Zhao Guoyang, who was sitting opposite Jin Xiuzhu, naturally became everyone's envy.

Zhao Guoyang has always been indifferent to other people's eyes.

Looking at the fierce-faced South Korean girl in front of him, he laughed dumbly and said, "Miss Jin, there is a problem with what you said just now, let me correct it for you first!"

"Uh... what's that?" Jin Xiuzhu looked at Zhao Guoyang blankly, with a ignorant look.

"This time, our Huaxia acquisition of the shares of "Skoda Automobile Company" is not the main body of my company."

"As for me, I'm just a planner, and it's just voluntary labor..."

When Jin Xiuzhu heard this, she tilted her head curiously and said, "This is really weird."

"Earlier when you told me on the phone that you were going to acquire the shares of 'Skoda Automobile', I thought it was you who wanted to make a big deal yourself, so it's not!"

Zhao Guoyang shook his head and smiled wryly: "I said Miss Xiuzhu, I would like to come by myself. Unfortunately, the funding gap is too short."

"I, even if I'm a smuggler now, I can at most collect a fraction of the sale price of someone's 'Skoda Company'. There is really no need to humiliate myself."

Listening to Zhao Guoyang's self-ridicule, Jin Xiuzhu pursed her lips and smiled softly.

Speaking of which, as Zhao Guoyang's strategic partner, she can still analyze the funds Zhao Guoyang has in hand.

Even if he mortgaged his newly acquired "SMS Construction Machinery Group Company", he would only be able to raise twenty to thirty million dollars at most.

Compared with the share transfer price of "Skoda Auto Company", it is indeed a child's play.

Of course, if only the "Daewoo Motor Company" under the "Daewoo Group" is counted, there is not enough funds to acquire the shares of "Skoda Corporation".

But now Jin Xiuzhu, the vice president of the head office, is on the scene, representing the headquarters of the "Daewoo Group", and will become the main body of the acquisition, so there is nothing to worry about in terms of funds.

At this time, Jin Xiuzhu wanted to know the reason why Zhao Guoyang wanted to give up, but she was a little unwilling.

I feel that after this trip, I have a great chance of fighting against the "Volkswagen Group".

Zhao Guoyang and Jin Xiuzhu chatted and laughed for a while, and then began to talk about business.

He took a sip of strong coffee and said solemnly: "Miss Xiuzhu, I have very important reasons for letting you 'Daewoo Group' withdraw from this acquisition."

"First of all, the first and most important one is that the products of the 'Skoda Automobile Company' and your products of the 'Daewoo Group' have a high degree of overlap in terms of characteristics and target audiences. They are both of high quality and low price. Displacement family car."

"Although the brands are different and the quality is different, generally speaking, the cars of your two companies tend to compete in the international market. Miss Xiuzhu, you should be clear about this, right?"

After hearing this, Jin Xiuzhu nodded approvingly and said, "Yes, Guoyang, I admit what you said. But such competition exists widely around the world."

"If we gave up on the acquisition of 'Skoda Automobile Company' just because of this, wouldn't it be a waste of food because of choking?"

Jin Xiuzhu paused, and continued: "Besides, if we 'Daewoo Motor Company' can acquire more than half of the shares in 'Skoda'. Then we will become the talkers of 'Skoda Auto'."

"In other words, isn't it up to us to decide what market this brand will focus on behind the scenes? I don't think there is any contradiction in this regard!"

Zhao Guoyang shook his head and smiled lightly when he heard the words: "Miss Xiuzhu, you think the problem is too simple."

"You should know why 'Skoda Automobile' is so anxious to introduce foreign capital?"

"One of the main reasons is that its products are gradually showing signs of decline in the European market..."

Jin Xiuzhu nodded blankly and said, "Of course I know this. However, does this have anything to do with our 'Daewoo Group' acquiring its shares?"

Zhao Guoyang rubbed his nose and said, "Of course it has something to do with it! The products of 'Skoda Automobile' have always been known for their cheap price, high quality, and good fuel-saving performance."

"However, in terms of luxury and comfort, it still has a very obvious gap compared with first-line brands such as 'Mercedes-Benz' and 'BMW'."

"Even if you 'Daewoo Motors' control this company, it will be very difficult to break through its inherent production thinking in a short period of time."

"and……"

Zhao Guoyang said slowly, "If you 'Daewoo Group' insist on going your own way, there is a high probability that you will be thankless and end up dragging yourself into this quagmire instead!"

Having said that, Zhao Guoyang turned his head and glanced at the thoughtful Jin Xiuzhu and said, "So, from this point of view, your 'Daewoo Group' is not suitable to be the owner of 'Skoda'!"

After hearing Zhao Guoyang's narration, Jin Xiuzhu's expression gradually eased.

Before coming to see Zhao Guoyang, she also made an overseas phone call and discussed the "acquisition" with her father.

What his father Jin Yuzhong said is closer to Zhao Guoyang's point of view. They both feel that there are a lot of variables in it, so it's best not to force yourself.

"Well, for the time being, I think your first reason is valid! Go on!" Jin Xiuzhu blinked at Zhao Guoyang.

"Uh, then I'll continue..." Zhao Guoyang was a little dizzy from the two earrings on the girl's ears, and quickly turned his eyes to the side.

"My second reason is about your 'Daewoo Group' competitors..."

Zhao Guoyang collected himself, and said solemnly: "Miss Xiuzhu, although you and I don't have many chances to meet each other, we hit it off right away."

"Some words, I want to remind you as soon as possible!"

Listening to Zhao Guoyang's solemnity, Jin Xiuzhu also put away her playful eyes, sat up straight, and nodded silently.

After shaking the cup twice with a small spoon, Zhao Guoyang said after deliberation: "I have met your father, Mr. Jin Yuzhong, and I know that he is a very good entrepreneur."

"I also understand your Daewoo Group's ambitions in the automobile industry."

"However, in terms of judging your opponents, I think you seem to have entered a misunderstanding."

Looking at Jin Xiuzhu's somewhat dissatisfied and questioning eyes, Zhao Guoyang continued: "Yes, I know that 'Daewoo Motor Company' sold 300,000 cars last year alone."

"In South Korea, it ranks second only to the number one 'Hyundai Group' with 350,000 vehicles."

"This number is nearly double that of the third-ranked 'Kia Group'!"

Jin Xiuzhu, the eldest lady of the "Daewoo Group", naturally couldn't understand the data Zhao Guoyang said.

She nodded slightly, stretched out her hand, and signaled Zhao Guoyang to continue talking.

Looking at Jin Xiuzhu's beautiful profile, Zhao Guoyang went on to say: "Because of the bumper sales of 'Daewoo Motor Company' last year, it is definitely impossible for 'Daewoo Group' to limit their attention to the domestic market."

"Whether it was Chairman Jin's previous visit to China, or Miss Xiuzhu's trip to Prague this time, it all shows a little bit."

"You'Daewoo Group' is ready to officially compete with the international auto giants in the auto industry!"

Zhao Guoyang's precise analysis surprised Jin Xiuzhu, but also secretly rejoiced.

Fortunately, her sixth sense was very accurate. When she met Guoyang for the first time, she knew that he would be a great person and formed a "strategic alliance" with him.

Otherwise, listening to his analysis now, I'm afraid I won't be able to sit still?

Zhao Guoyang didn't know what Jin Xiuzhu was thinking at the moment. After he took a breath, he continued to analyze.

"It is true that the auto market in your country is relatively small due to some considerable reasons. Your father and the Daewoo Group focus on the world, and this idea itself is not wrong!"

"However, you have a more serious problem, that is, you miscalculated your own strength and chose the wrong opponent to compete with!"

Hearing this, Jin Xiuzhu seemed to have a little understanding.

With one hand on her forehead, Liu Mei frowned slightly: "Guoyang, what do you mean, we shouldn't use 'public' as a competitor?"

"But it obviously also dominates the global market with small and medium-displacement cars? Its products overlap with those of our Daewoo Motor Company, right?"

Zhao Guoyang gave a "hmm" and signaled: "That's right, a large part of Volkswagen Group's profits do come from small and medium displacement cars..."

"However, Xiuzhu, you forgot one thing. The Dazhong Group has branches in all five continents of the world, except for Africa!"

"That is to say, in terms of market development, they have already gone ahead of your 'Daewoo Motor Company'."

"In this respect, even 'Skoda Auto', which started earlier than you, can't compete with it, let alone you?"

Listening to Zhao Guoyang's meticulous analysis, Jin Xiuzhu's face gradually revealed a look of relief.

Indeed, what Zhao Guoyang said was too correct.

The global strategy of the Volkswagen Group is ahead of all the car companies in the world.

Although his own "Daewoo Group" is developing rapidly, it is still far behind this behemoth.

While Jin Xiuzhu was thinking about it secretly, Zhao Guoyang said again: "After I explained it like this, you should understand, Xiuzhu, right?"

He calmly explained: "Even if you 'Daewoo Group' spent a lot of money to snatch more than half of the shares of 'Skoda Auto Company' from the 'Volkswagen Group'."

"However, if there is no mature market, you still cannot compete with others..."
