Rebirth of the World’s Richest Man

After Luo Kang left, Jiang Xiaobai called Zhang Weiyi and asked Zhang Weiyi about the progress of the current negotiations. He had promised Luo Kang to postpone it for at most half a month.

In other words, the negotiation progress with Ford Motor will be completed within half a month.

"Jiang Dong."

"Old Zhang, how is the negotiation going?" Jiang Xiaobai asked with a smile: "It should be over soon, we've been talking for so long.

Let me tell you some good news. Someone from the Luo family came over just now to inform us that the handover of the Luofu car has been completely completed.

You can sign a contract and transfer the ownership to us at any time. The interest-free loan of more than 400 million U.S. dollars owed by Luofu Automobile to BMW has been fully repaid, and the book loss of more than 200 million pounds has also been fully made up.

Now Luofu Automobile is a blank and clean company with the two brands of Luofu and MG. If we want, we can hold it in our hands at any time.

But I think that the negotiation on your side is coming to an end, and the two sides will announce the news together at that time.

The Luo family also agreed to postpone it for half a month, half a month should be enough..."

Jiang Xiaobai was also very excited to win the Luofu Automobile. Huahai Automobile's earliest foundation was to acquire the Volga Automobile Factory and Khachov Automobile Factory in the north.

After the completion of this merger, although Huahai Automobile can gain a firm foothold in the north, this is only in the north of the country, and the sales are still good, and the global sales are not ideal.

Needless to say, compared with German cars, Japanese cars, American cars, etc., it is also inferior to some second-rate international brands.

As for the domestic Huahai Automobile, although it is a joint venture factory in name, it is actually a domestic branch of Huahai, and the sales of this car are not so ideal.

Jiang Xiaobai is defined as a mid-to-high-end car. At the very least, Huahai Automobile cannot fall directly into the ranks of low-end cars, such as Jili, Xiali, etc., but in the middle and high-end cars, Huahai Automobile's competitiveness is not too high when it competes with Santana and the like. strong.

This is something that cannot be changed. Brands need to be cultivated. For example, ABB and these three auto brands all have a history. It does not mean that the establishment of a brand can gain popularity.

When domestic products compete with foreign brands, they basically lack brand competitiveness. Although Luofu Automobile is not the same now, it is still a century-old automobile factory. Whether it is Luofu brand or MG brand, it is a global brand. famous.

What's more, Land Rover and the like, for more than a hundred years, a century-old automobile factory, the brand awareness bred under this subsidiary is enviable.

It's a pity that Jiang Xiaobai was talking enthusiastically, but Zhang Weiyi faltered on the phone.

"No, what's wrong with you? Why don't you talk."

"Jiang Dong, things have changed." Zhang Weiyi said with some embarrassment.

Jiang Xiaobai frowned suddenly: "What's the matter, didn't we talk about it well before? Didn't we say that we can win it for about one billion US dollars? Isn't the talk about it?"

Although Jiang Xiaobai said that he did not go to the negotiation in person and handed over all the matters this time to Zhang Weiyi, Zhang Weiyi would call back to report on the progress of the negotiations every day.

Jiang Xiaobai also knows the progress of the negotiation clearly.

Ford Motor wants 1.2 billion US dollars, of course Jiang Xiaobai doesn't want to give this price. Of course, Jiang Xiaobai can also understand the feelings of Ford Motor.

A few years ago, it was acquired at a price of 3 billion euros, equivalent to 3.9 billion U.S. dollars. After a few years, it can only be sold for more than one billion U.S. dollars now.

It is equivalent to a direct loss of more than two billion US dollars. Of course, Ford Motor is not reconciled.

But the current Land Rover series cars are only worth this price, and they basically lose money all the time in their hands. It is also a good thing to be able to deal with it.

So no matter how unwilling he is, Ford can only accept it, but he just wants more money and less losses.

However, the price negotiated by the two sides is slowly approaching.

Speaking of which, this Luofu car is really enough. When it is in the hands of BMW, it has tossed the BMW car enough, not to mention the loss, and it also delayed the development of BMW itself. The BMW X5, which should have been launched long ago, is It was abruptly delayed.

This changed hands to Ford, and made Ford suffer such a big loss.

Of course, no matter whether it's BMW or Ford, both of them have big businesses, and they can still afford to lose money with this little money.

It's just that no one can bear such a loss.

"Dr. Jiang, during today's negotiation process, Ford Motor proposed a new plan, that is, to package it with Jaguar for us at a price of 1.7 billion US dollars.

In addition, if we are willing to have one of their sports cars, Aston Martin also wants to transfer it to them, and Volvo..."

As Zhang Weiyi said, Jiang Xiaobai's face was already darkened.

"Made, what does Ford mean? What do you think we are? Our Huaqing Holdings Group is also a Fortune 500 company, and we are not picking up junk. They want to dump everything they don't want to us." Jiang Xiaobai was furious asked.

"Okay, you wait for me to go over and talk to them in person."

Jiang Xiaobai didn't explain after finishing speaking, and hung up the phone directly. Although the tone of his speech was furious, after hanging up the phone, Jiang Xiaobai was very happy.

Ford, a big dog, really has something in his hand.

Land Rover, Volvo, Jaguar, Aston Martin.

This car is comprehensive from small sedans to off-road vehicles to sports cars, and these brands are well-known in later generations.

As a result, Ford is going to sell it as a package.

If Jiang Xiaobai can not take advantage of this time to collect what he can get, then he will be sorry for himself, a reborn person.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xiaobai called Zhang Tingting directly.

"Well, please inform the investment company and let Hu Jinshan, Zhang Jun and others from the investment company come to see me immediately." Jiang Xiaobai ordered.

Zhang Tingting nodded, seeing Jiang Xiaobai's serious expression, she didn't dare to ask more questions, and immediately ran over to notify.

Both Hu Jinshan and Zhang Jun happened to be in Shanghai, not that it was such a coincidence, but when they were preparing to deal with the Luo family, they called the heads of these companies over, just in case something went wrong.

That's why we were able to stay in Shanghai without any business trips.
