Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

When Ferrari turned its attention away from Maserati and focused more on its own company's shares, Tommaso started negotiations with Yang Dongxu after two days of hesitation.

This is the premise of controlling 100% of the shares. Under this premise, the only thing blocking the acquisition is the amount. Tommaso packaged and sold all his shares and offered a price of one billion US dollars.

This price is undoubtedly exaggerated. After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Maserati is on the decline. At this time, since Tommaso wants to get rid of this burden, he has offered such a high price, which undoubtedly makes people feel

There is no sincerity.

But Tommaso has his own considerations for expelling him at this price. First of all, Maserati has more than 300 engineers and nearly 500 workers, and it also has many automotive technology patents. Of course, these technology patents may be lagging behind compared to Ferrari.

It's of the same level, but for China it's absolutely high-tech.

With the current technical barrier policy adopted by the Europeans towards China, by offering a price of one billion US dollars to open the door in Tommaso, it has already shown its sincerity.

"If you insist on this price, you can keep these technologies and production lines that you think are valuable. I only want Maserati engineers, workers on the car assembly line and company management, and we will calculate the prices of these things."

After talking for three days, after Tommaso insisted on the price and refused to give in, Yang Dongxu directly said this.

The look on his face was a little impatient, as if he wanted to sell or not, or he would be defeated if he didn't.

To be honest, some of Maserati's automotive technologies are indeed what Yang Dongxu wants, but he is not so urgent about these technologies. He has almost emptied all the databases of a large automobile and a heavy industry from the Soviet Union. What does he want now?

No technology?

The reason why he chose to acquire Maserati was mainly because he wanted to use the shell. He hired a large number of engineers from the Soviet Union, but he could not recruit all the workers. In other words, he now has production lines and technology, but no skilled workers.

.

When it comes to cooperating with domestic automobile companies, the technological gap is there after all. It will take a long time for domestic automobile companies to digest these technologies, and he doesn't want to wait.

Therefore, he hoped to spend a certain price to acquire Maserati, use Maserati's mature production line and management to form his own car company, and then let Maserati's engineers and his own engineers join forces to digest the acquisition in a short time.

The technology here has pushed the company to a new level.

Before the acquisition, he had already made a plan. One-third of the engineers and technologies he had dug up would be placed in Italy, and the other two-thirds would be placed in China, and he would cooperate with domestic automobile companies with Maserati as the parent company.

, while both parties digest these technologies together, they will use the shell of a Sino-foreign joint venture to expand the domestic market as soon as possible.

To be honest, if he didn't have confidence in domestic automobile companies, he would not go around and find a foreign automobile company to seize the initiative.

This lack of confidence is not because Yang Dongxu, a Chinese, looks down on his own country, nor is it because he admires foreign countries and feels that domestic car companies cannot digest technology that Maserati can digest.

But the fact is before our eyes. Now that the Soviet Union is about to disintegrate, all kinds of technologies in Ukraine are like free cabbage, picked up at will.

In the past life, there were no talented people who took a fancy to the automobile industry and poached advanced technology and talents from the Soviet Union? It is obvious that there must be some. When Yang Dongxu was poaching these talents, he met several compatriots who were worth a lot of money.

Since these automotive technical talents and production lines were also dug up in the previous life, then the question arises. With the Soviet Union, a superpower that can compete with the United States, with a lot of technical support, why did the domestic automobile companies in the previous life develop in such a mess?

Such a huge automobile market allows various foreign automobile brands to take advantage of it. When Yang Dongxu is reborn, domestic automobiles are still unable to raise their heads in their own territory?

What is the specific reason for this? Yang Dongxu didn't study it in his previous life, so he doesn't know. But anyone who is not blind knows that this pit is a bit big, so he tried hard to acquire a relatively good foreign automobile company to bypass this pit.

Otherwise, he is not stupid. He has enough US dollars in his hands. When he goes to the Soviet Union, whether it is for talents or technology, or even some heavy industry equipment, he can just bring it to the country. If he has a brain convulsion, why would he go to Italy to buy Maserati at this time?

A Chinese doesn’t even need technology!

Aren't they willing to pay a high price for any technology, no matter how many years it has been obsolete? Why is this Chinese person I met so strange?

The confused Tomasotto people inquired about Yang Dongxu's origins, although they didn't find out anything specific. But now everyone in the world who has the ability is sharpening their knives to steal the Soviet Union's wealth. The other party doesn't want their own technology, and their country doesn't want it.

Being so close to the Soviet Union, even thinking about it with his buttocks, he understood the reason.

Now Tommaso is a bit confused. The price offered by Ferrari to acquire Maserati is not high because the two companies have too many overlaps. If these overlaps are removed, Maserati will not have many bright spots. Therefore, Ferrari naturally does not want to buy Maserati.

What kind of high price will be offered?

I originally thought that Yang Dongxu had nothing and wanted to sell it at a high price, but now his technical reserves are not bad. Compared with technical people, they seem to value front-line workers and middle-level managers of the company, and even the production line people can do it.

Build it yourself.

After excluding all kinds of unnecessary technologies and fixed products, although Yang Dongxu's demands are bigger than Ferrari, it is obviously impossible to sell the company at the price he had expected.

With this understanding, the subsequent negotiations with Thomas seemed much more sincere. After all, excluding those technical reserves and engineers, Yang Dongxu had too many car companies to choose from. Although Maserati's research laboratory is much better than that of Yang Dongxu,

The other car companies I have contacted are better, but their strength is limited.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If Yang Dongxu chooses another car company, at most it will only waste a little more time to digest. If this time only costs a little money, Yang Dongxu will definitely be willing to pay to save it. If it costs too much

If it's more, then he would definitely rather waste a little more time.

So we talked back and forth for two more days, and after roughly figuring out how much Yang Dongxu was willing to pay for this time, Tommaso refused to let go of the US$750 million, and Yang Dongxu agreed to the acquisition amount after considering it for a day.

After the acquisition amount is agreed upon, there will be nothing left for Yang Dongxu to do next. The technical and personnel acceptance, the transfer of various assets of the company, and the specific details of technical transfer will be handled by professional people and he does not need to worry about it.

What he has to do now is to go to the R&D department with Zhou Ya and all the engineers will have a meeting. Then, while raising everyone's salary by 10%, they will come up with several good technologies.

The information is placed in the research room.

With such a double insurance, if there are still engineers who want to resign, then he will be very happy to have people go through the resignation procedures for him. He lacks everything, but there is no shortage of engineers at the moment. At the worst, he will poach some from the Soviet Union. Although these

Engineers must go through a process of adapting when they come here, but this is a time-consuming process that they can't afford.

After settling down in the R&D room, I went to the factory again. The same salary increase was offered, along with the promise of stock options for workers and middle management. As for the company's senior management, Yang Dongxu is still in the process of inspection.

In order to stabilize the company, the senior management must retain a certain proportion of people, but not all of them. Whether it is the possibility that these senior executives, as old people, may sideline Yang Dongxu, or they must reserve a lot of positions to cultivate themselves.

With so many manpower, it is impossible for all of these people to stay.

But before clearing out those people and leaving those people behind, Yang Dongxu called these people together for a meeting.

"After more than half a month of negotiations, you all know more or less what kind of technology and capital I have. Since I have fully acquired the company, some of you senior executives will definitely have to leave.

"Yang Dongxu said directly without beating around the bush.

Such unflattering words caused some commotion in the conference room, and many people looked a little unhappy. To be honest, despite the uncomfortable point that a Chinese became my own boss, none of the seven senior executives present were willing.

Leaving Maserati.

It's nonsense to talk about feelings, but it's definitely reluctance. Because as Yang Dongxu said, what kind of capital does he have? Not to mention Men Qing'er, the senior management here can at least see the possibility of Maserati becoming glorious again.

Working in a very promising company, whether it is your future salary or development prospects, there is no doubt about it, so naturally no one wants to leave.

"I won't talk about the people who left, but first I will talk about the conditions for those who stay. First, I hope people who have connections with the government can recommend themselves. After all, if the company wants to develop in the future, it will definitely be inseparable from the government's support.

Second, I hope that the people who stay will have certain connections and resources in the industry. After all, if a company wants to develop, it is impossible to produce everything on its own. We need perfect cooperation between the upstream and downstream industry chains.

Third, I need marketing talents. You don’t need to take care of China, but I need talents who can expand the market in Europe. We will not give up on the Italian market, but the company must go out and compete with Ferrari.

Wise choice."

As soon as Yang Dongxu's three requests came out, the conference room fell into silence. Everyone frowned and thought about which of the three conditions for staying they were suitable for. The three conditions were said euphemistically, but the meaning expressed was very clear.

direct.

"Okay, that's it for today's meeting. If anyone here wants to stay, please decide for yourself which conditions are suitable. Then we can make an appointment to talk in private." Yang Dongxu stood up, smiled and left.

into the conference room.

After Yang Dongxu left, several senior executives of the company did not leave. Everyone stopped thinking and instead looked at each other.

"Cunning Chinese." A big-nosed man sitting at the top left couldn't help snorting.

Removing senior managers will definitely be happy for middle managers because they see room for improvement, but leaving senior managers will definitely bring pain to the company.

And now Yang Dongxu kicks the ball directly back to the feet of these senior executives, which will undoubtedly simplify the pain to the minimum. At the same time, those who stay can be sure that they can use it, at least for now.
