Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Ferrari was ultimately valued at US$2.2 billion, with Fiat Group holding 90% of the shares. The direct price is US$2 billion, and the remaining portion requires cash compensation. Gianni Ranieri is already very satisfied with this. Without spending a penny, you get the complete technology and production line for flying saucers. Although it is only half a share, it is enough.

After all, Enzo Ferrari is older, and normal people would already laugh at the fact that they can live to such an old age; he did not participate in the subsequent negotiations, and even members of the Ferrari family were not allowed to participate. Although the old man is old, he is not confused at all. As long as the interests of the family can be safeguarded, don't care about anything else.

This is a contest between two super tycoons. It can be said that the Ferrari family cannot participate at all; and they are not qualified to participate.

Just after Gianni Ranieri reached a cooperation with Bao Zixuan, he received an unexpected phone call.

So he said very apologetically: "Mr. Bao, the Prime Minister wants to invite you to go to Rome; if it is not convenient for you to go, then he can come to Turin."

It can be said that it is full of sincerity. It is not easy for the leader of a country to see you. It is not easy to do this. I haven’t been to Rome in this life, so it’s a good time to visit. The richest man Bao decided to go from Turin to Rome to meet with Italian senior officials.

At the same time, a very harmonious scene was taking place at the Ferrari headquarters in Maranello.

Enzo Ferrari came to his son Laridian's office and wanted to meet his son in person. When Heiyun Group takes over Ferrari, the situation will become different. It's okay for him to be alive now, but once he passes away, this son will have to take the lead.

Seeing his father coming, Laridian quickly stood up and personally helped Enzo Ferrari sit down.

Enzo Ferrari is very satisfied with this performance. He is already an old man in his nineties; his physical strength and energy are really not as good as before. No matter what the reason is, my son can still take care of himself in this way, so there is nothing to fault.

And deep down in his heart, Enzo Ferrari still felt a little guilty for this child.

Before he was 11 years old, he had never seen an illegitimate child. It was not until 1978, after the death of his wife, who had lived with Enzo Ferrari for 55 years, that Lardian was allowed to use the patronymic surname of Ferrari.

Enzo Ferrari said slowly: "Do you still have resentment deep down in your heart? After all, I failed to fulfill my responsibility as a father. I gave too much care to your eldest brother since I was a child."

This is indeed the case. For the children born to his wife, Enzo Ferrari has definitely fulfilled the responsibilities of a father.

In the early years, Enzo wanted his children to be successful in their careers; therefore, his eldest son, Dino Ferrari, was sent to the best schools in Europe. Dino later studied engineering in Sweden.

At the end of 1955, he suggested that his father develop a 1.5L DOHC V6 engine for the F2 race. But not long after, Dino fell ill due to kidney disease. During his stay in the hospital, he also discussed the detailed technology of the V6 engine with engineers. In the end, we didn't see that engine coming out.

On June 30, 1956, at the age of 24, Dino Ferrari passed away from a world that had not allowed his wisdom to flourish. After his death, two cars were named after "Dino": Fiat-Dino and Ferrari-Dino. And this famous Ferrari-Dino uses the V6 engine that Dino participated in the design. Since the discontinuation of Dino, Ferrari has no longer produced V6-engined sports cars.

A man with white hair gives a man with black hair, and he is also a talented son; no matter how obsessed he is with racing, deep down he will not be able to accept it! But what happened has happened, and the deceased is gone. Not only do we have to face reality, but we also need to consider family inheritance issues. But in order to take care of his wife's emotions, he dared not let his illegitimate son live with him and recognize his ancestors. How can outsiders know the inner suffering.

Laer Dian: "No, after all, I am much happier than ordinary children. Although I have not seen my father much since I was a child. But I don't have to worry about life. At least we, mother and son, have enough food and clothing."

Enzo Ferrari was very pleased to hear his son's answer. It is said that illegitimate children are more obedient and more independent; now it seems that this is true.

Enzo Ferrari: "I am a father, how could I not love my son? But because of other factors, I ignored you mother and son. In this life, I am worthy of all the employees who started my business with me, and even more worthy of this country; but I am sorry My own family.”

I heard my father, who has always been strong, say this: What is going on? Could it be that the sun is rising in the west today. Otherwise, why would my father, who has always been stubborn, speak like this?

Laer Dian: "You don't have to blame yourself too much. No one blames you."

Although his family did not blame him, he could not remain indifferent; when a person was about to die, his words were kind, and when a bird was about to die, his song was also sad. Maybe life has really reached this point now.

Enzo Ferrari: "With the current strength of the family, it is impossible to support the huge consumption of racing cars; at least Ferrari is in our hands, it is difficult to develop it. The strength of the Ranieri family is also limited, and its main industry is cars; Ferrari still has Not really his core product.”

"But Heiyun Group is different. Bao Zixuan has been in Xiangjiang for a long time; he will definitely not interfere too much in European affairs. In addition, he is also an engineer, so he will not only focus on the company's profits in the short term."

"He said that the market value of Ferrari cars could exceed 100 billion US dollars in the future. Although I am skeptical about this; but as a man who continues to create miracles, there is still no problem if he discounts it in half."

"If you don't mess around, there will be no problem in ensuring that family members have enough food and clothing. I just hope you remember that Ferrari is the root of the family; no matter when, you can't sell off the only shares you have."

"And regarding Heiyun's decision, we must fully cooperate and never violate it. As long as the Ferrari family cooperates, with Bao Zixuan's personality and big heart, he will not deliberately embarrass him."

"If I pass away one day, you will be mainly responsible for the racing business. There is no problem with being the chairman and CEO of the company in name, but management rights must be delegated as much as possible. Although you are very capable, some things are still lacking. In fact, it is not just you. , the same goes for me. Maybe he is an excellent race car driver or engineer. But he is definitely not a qualified business manager, otherwise it is impossible to maintain the brand he created. "

After hearing his father's analysis, Laer Dian certainly understood what it meant. This is to allow yourself to hold onto the black cloud's thighs and not to cause conflicts with others.

In fact, deep down in his heart, Lardian certainly knew what kind of person his father was.

Ferrari has always produced supercars, but profits are ultimately limited. It is difficult to support the huge expenses of the racing team, and the economy is often in trouble. However, due to its extremely high reputation, Ferrari has won honors for the country many times and has almost become the image representative of the Italian automobile industry. Therefore, Fiat, which has deep pockets, often provides selfless help financially.

At that time, the American Ford Company once intended to acquire Ferrari, but Enzo Ferrari himself firmly opposed it. They are worried that after the company is owned by Ford, firstly, the other party will use Ferrari's car results to promote its own image; secondly, Ferrari's racing plan will be affected to a certain extent.

In 1969, Ferrari agreed to be acquired by Fiat, a domestic company, on the condition that the other party would not interfere with its racing activities in the years to come.

You must know that the price offered by Ford at that time was much higher than that of Fiat. Maybe it was his dedication to racing that kept him from giving up.

But for the future of the family, he still thinks so much. It is indeed a bit rare. With the death of Dino Ferrari, the so-called Ferrari family is now the only one left. When we say it’s a family, it’s actually better to talk about ourselves and our children.

Blood is thicker than water, and it applies to any country and any region. After learning that he didn't have much time left to live, and his eldest son and first wife passed away one after another, the illegitimate son may be the family's only hope.

Coupled with the death of his eldest brother on the battlefield, Enzo Ferrari also had to consider the future of the Ferrari family.

Lardian: "I know what to do, and you can rest assured on this. I will definitely protect Ferrari Motor Company, and I will never mess around. I will deliberately make things difficult for Heiyun Group's decision-making; and I promise not to sell the only shares I have."

Hearing this, Enzo Ferrari was relieved. After all, it was not entirely for future generations. Although he is not young, he can still work every day, and he has several years to slowly train his successor.

However, through this chat, the gap between father and son has been basically eliminated. Mr. Bao still doesn’t know that Heiyun Group’s ownership of Ferrari can have such an effect, which is considered very rare.
