Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 188 188 Wolfsburg Reaction

Ge Guoliang and his colleagues drafted a share transfer agreement.

When the signed preliminary share transfer agreement was sent to Wolfsburg, it did not add much volatility to the already restless company.

Wolfsburg, a city in northern Germany, also known as Wolfsburg.

It is an extremely small city, but it is a big city in Germany. The headquarters of Volkswagen is located here with a piece of paper order.

Since then, Wolfsburg has become world-famous for its cars.

Kahn, who was half-resting at this time, also received the same document, which made him stunned for a long time. He was the former executive chairman. Although he still serves as an advisor, he theoretically has no right to participate in the board of directors.

He was responsible for the initial acquisition of Skoda. He felt that his acquisition was an opportunity for Volkswagen and an important step in the expansion of Volkswagen's territory.

If he hadn't retired, I'm afraid the second round of acquisitions would have been completed, but the newly appointed chairman, who inherited the rigor and caution of the Germans, is not optimistic about the acquisition of Skoda.

So this share transfer agreement made him see the crisis, and it was a company he had never heard of. When he first saw it, he thought it was some people from Skoda trying to urge them to acquire it.

Although he has retired, he still has his cronies in Volkswagen. The person who can get this agreement is the director and supervisor he appointed to Skoda, Skoda's quality officer Snader.

Snader has clearly seen the changes in Skoda. He and Kahn have the same idea. They should implement their original commitments as soon as possible and continue to invest money in Skoda and continue acquisitions. I believe it will be successful soon.

However, Snyder's status does not allow him to deal with the company's board of directors, so his demands can only be conveyed to the board of directors through his friend and boss Kahn.

Kahn picked up the phone, hesitated for a moment, but still did not make a call. He went downstairs and asked the driver to drive to the company headquarters.

"Chairman!" Although he has retired, when Kahn came to the company's administrative downstairs, he still felt unusual enthusiasm. After all, he had worked there for many years, and he thought he had done a pretty good job over the years.

"Pichel, how do you handle Skoda's share transfer agreement?" As long as the share transfer is required, it must be approved by several major shareholders, but Kahn does not feel that his question is unnecessary.

Kahn wanted to know how Pichel handled it, not whether he received the document!

"Dr. Kahn, we received it as soon as possible. Now Lopez and the others are assessing the impact and using our relationship to find out the details of this company!" Pichel said honestly, although he was not very happy.

His identity is extremely special. His family has a great say in Volkswagen, and his grandfather is also the founder of Volkswagen, so he can sit in his current position. In addition to his really powerful abilities, his identity is also one of them.

So as soon as he came to power, in order to show his ability, he immediately replaced many senior managers and hired new senior managers. Lopez was one of them and his most effective assistant.

Of course, the most important thing in a company is its people, and changing people is naturally the biggest turmoil. Kahn's departure naturally caused quite a shock to the company, and the changes in a large number of high-level executives naturally caused even greater shocks.

Pichel had just become chairman and CEO, and the first thing he did was to de-Kahn, otherwise he would not be able to seize power, which caused considerable turmoil and naturally triggered a counterattack by vested interests.

He can only take down a group of people promoted by Kahn or get them to join the team again, otherwise how can he implement his ideas.

As for the acquisition of Skoda, Picher has no objection, but it needs to be carefully re-evaluated. Such a bad loss-making company with nearly 20,000 workers needs to be treated with caution.

Therefore, Wolfsburg is quite lively at this time. Power struggles are common to all mankind, everywhere there are people, and the experience is richer than in China.

"What are you going to do about it?" Kahn asked directly without being polite to Pichel.

This person has retired and still wants to take charge of things. No matter whether it is good or bad, it will turn out to be bad in the end. When you retire, you must fully believe that the successor can do a good job.

"We have to wait for the analysis and investigation results to come out. We have three weeks for this share transfer agreement, so we have plenty of time!" Picher took out the transfer agreement and gave Kahn a signal.

"Pichel, hello, Consultant Kahn!" Lopez came in with a document. He was familiar with Pichel, so the title was naturally more casual, but calling Kahn a consultant was problematic.

Although everyone knows that he is a consultant, not many people call him that. Most people call him doctor like Pichel.

"What's the result?" Kahn asked anxiously.

"Our people at Skoda said that this matter should have a lot to do with their consultant Kiribel, who contacted these shareholders. These consultants control the company's financial status, and I am afraid it has already been leaked!"

Talking about being unintentional, or saying that he actually had intention, sounded extremely harsh to Kahn.

"The information on this company has not been found yet. We have entrusted others to check it. However, according to our analysis, this company probably does not exist. It is a smoke bomb created by them. It is also possible that they are sure that we may want to buy Skoda."

The equity, layout it in advance, and sell it to us!"

"And this is a company I have never heard of. I have never heard of any car company coming here recently!" Lopez added. They are all smart people and naturally know what the point of the matter is.

"That's good. As long as other companies don't come to cause trouble, there's no need to make a fuss. Besides, the company's energy is limited now, and it still needs to optimize the company's procurement and production!" Picher said happily.

If these shareholders unite and find such a company to force them to submit and quickly acquire these shares, then there is no need to be too merciful.

Kahn felt tired for a while after hearing this. He suddenly felt that he was worrying too much. It seemed that the title of consultant should not be retained. The company had entered the Picher era.

"But these all need to be verified, so let's put it aside in advance and check the specific situation of this company as soon as possible!" Pichel said after seeing Kahn's face, he had to worry about his face.

Picher said: "Dr. Kahn, once we find out the actual situation of this company, we will definitely convene a board of directors to study this issue. We hope you can come and participate when the time comes!"

Kahn knew that his time had passed, and that his role as a consultant would only allow him to receive a portion of his salary, but would not give him any actual power.

He comes to the board of directors just as a non-voting witness. If he still has power, he is infringing on the power of the board of directors. The company will not allow this to happen.

And this is not what a company should be like. Kahn is a smart man and will naturally not break this rule. But for Skoda, if the acquisition is not completed, it will probably be a big failure in the history of Volkswagen.

Kahn left without a word. His era was over. Of course, what if there was an accident?

The other major shareholder is the Czech government, and it holds a large shareholding ratio. However, the current policy of the Czech government is to privatize and adhere to the market economy, so naturally it will not repurchase these shares.
