Chapter 610

The past between GM and Suzuki

These are the big days in Ant's life. I ask for your support!

&&&&&&&&&&&

Looking at the luxurious configuration list in front of him, Jin Xiaoqiang finally understood why the cost of this police car was as high as more than 60,000 US dollars. These old Americans are really not willing to spend money!

Looking at the configuration of this American police car, and then looking at the shabby and pitiful minivan used by the domestic 110 police when dispatching police, Jin Xiaoqiang couldn't help but sigh, this is the gap!

When will the domestic leaders be able to solve the traffic problems of front-line police officers by taking a few fewer Audis?

Think about it, in some cities in the South, snatching incidents by motorcycle gangs have become popular in the past two years, but many arresting police officers actually rely on bicycles or motorcycles to chase criminals.

Although this seems flexible, what if someone handles it improperly and causes unnecessary harm? If it ends up causing disability, who will be responsible? You must know that police officers are also people with families and careers.

ah!

Forget it, why are you thinking so much? I am just a manufacturer. It is not my turn to worry about things that worry about the country and the people.

"Okay! Nick, these conditions are not a problem. Give me a few days of work and I will be able to help you solve these problems."

Looking at the standard equipment list of the police car in front of him, Jin Xiaoqiang said to Nick, and Nick nodded. He still believed in Jin Xiaoqiang's design ability. In fact, if it weren't for the respect of Jin Xiaoqiang, such a small renovation project would be impossible.

, GM engineers can get it done within a few days.

But after all, the prototype design of this car was still made by Jin Xiaoqiang, so it was not easy for them to overtake others, so they left it to Jin Xiaoqiang to show more respect for him.

After discussing these things, it was already noon, but Nick Reilly and his party obviously had no intention of leaving. It seemed that there was something else to discuss next.

Although he didn't say it clearly, Jin Xiaoqiang also understood what he meant, so he didn't say anything in depth. He just signaled that something happened and waited until everyone had finished lunch to talk. Nick Ray, who was running back and forth, had not even adjusted to the jet lag.

Li also agreed, and even requested that the next round of negotiations be held tomorrow. His men needed time to adjust, and in the afternoon, he could communicate with Jin Xiaoqiang about the negotiations to be held tomorrow.

So at noon, Jin Xiaoqiang entertained Nick Reilly and his entourage warmly. He first arranged for Nick and his entourage to go to the hotel for dinner, and then went back to rest. He himself took Nick Reilly to the luxurious private room of the hotel, and ate while eating.

chat.

Nick Reilly, who had met and made friends with people from China many times, also knew that people from China had the habit of discussing business at the drinking table, and after several contacts, he knew Jin Xiaoqiang quite well.

So not long after the banquet started, he told Jin Xiaoqiang the main issues to be negotiated tomorrow so that they could be prepared. Of course, as for the bottom line of General Motors, he still had professional ethics and did not tell Jin Xiaoqiang directly.

"That's it, Mysterkin. At the beginning of the year, didn't you communicate with me that you wanted to acquire the shares of Suzuki Motors in our hands? Recently, our company has been discussing this issue. After repeated discussions,

During the discussion, the company's senior management has decided that in order to maintain the very happy cooperative relationship between us so far, we plan to transfer the shares of Suzuki in our hands to you, Huayang Power. If Misterkin, if you are still interested,

If so, then you might as well make preparations and we can start negotiations tomorrow."

After finishing a bowl of bird's nest soup, Nick Reilly told Jin Xiaoqiang about the issues they wanted to negotiate with Huayang Power tomorrow.

When he heard these words, Jin Xiaoqiang remembered that after attending the Detroit Auto Show at the beginning of the year, when he was being received by Nick Reilly, he once mentioned it to him in his luxurious villa.

However, I wanted to acquire Suzuki's shares held by General Motors.

However, Nick Reilly did not give a direct response at that time and had to go back to the company to discuss with the company's senior management before making a decision.

After I came back, I also asked people in the president's office to pay attention to some trends in GM and Suzuki. There are also some rumors in the world. It is said that GM began to contact people from Suzuki in February to discuss Suzuki's equity.

Negotiations for the transfer have been ongoing, but it seems that they have not been very successful.

GM did not send a fax to itself to test whether Huayang Power had any intention to acquire Suzuki shares. So not long after, because there were too many things to do, I gave up the matter.

Forgot.

Unexpectedly, Nick Reilly would suddenly talk to him about this issue today, which really caught Jin Xiaoqiang off guard. Previously, he had asked his subordinates to launch an investigation into the operating conditions of Suzuki Company.

However, because General Motors never wanted to negotiate with me about accepting Suzuki's equity, I never cared about it. I didn't expect that General Motors would actually come to negotiate with me about this matter, which really made me a little unprepared.

These guys must have planned it a long time ago, just to catch themselves off guard!

But should I accept this hot potato or not?

Jin Xiaoqiang was thinking about the case and was not in a hurry to answer Nick Reilly. Nick obviously expected Jin Xiaoqiang's attitude, so he didn't say more.

According to Jin Xiaoqiang's understanding of Americans, these guys can be said to be the most developed business animals on the planet, and their business skills are very clear!

As early as the 1970s and 1980s, the guys like General Motors relied on the huge dividends after World War II. Although their competitiveness in the automobile market continued to decline, they made a lot of money in the automobile capital market.

Relying on their own money, they began to continuously merge with various automobile manufacturing companies that they felt were doing well.

Over the years, they have successively annexed many brands, and in the 1980s, such annexations reached a peak. In order to respond to the globalization called by Americans, they began to extend their tentacles.

To every corner of the world.

In Japan, because Japan's national conditions are quite special, and Japanese automobile manufacturing companies are particularly united, it is difficult to deal with large companies like Toyota, Honda, and Nissan, so they finally chose Suzuki, a company with a small size.

Of course, compared to Toyota, Honda and other companies, Suzuki is not a company that is good at manufacturing cars and motorcycles. It is precisely because it is small and easy to talk about that they chose Suzuki to acquire it.

In the past few years, GM's global operating conditions have not been very good, especially last year when it suffered a loss of more than 8 billion U.S. dollars. GM's top management is unable to sit still. They plan to wake up the adjustment of global policies on the one hand.

On the other hand, they plan to sell some of their assets.

Especially those assets that are more difficult to manage, including 20% ​​of Suzuki's shares. It turned out that when Suzuki was cooperating with General Motors, it allowed General Motors to acquire 23% of Suzuki's shares.

, but asked GM not to interfere in Suzuki's management, because Suzuki wants to maintain its own style.

At that time, because General Motors was a big company and had a large business, and Suzuki's equity was the key to their hard-fought entry into the Japanese automobile market, they agreed not to interfere in Suzuki's operations and would only enjoy the dividends from Suzuki's operations every year.

.

However, in the past few years, Suzuki has not made much progress in the domestic automobile market in Japan. However, in the Chinese market, although it has made some achievements, it seems to GM that it is putting the cart before the horse. Therefore, GM is very unhappy, but because of the previous

When signing the contract, he promised not to interfere with Suzuki's operations, so he had little say in formulating the company's policies, which also caused a huge headache for GM.

In addition, the company needs to tighten money this year and needs a lot of funds to adjust the company, so GM gritted its teeth and decided to give up Suzuki's equity.

Originally, when they were cooperating with Suzuki, the two parties made an agreement that if GM planned to give up Suzuki's shares, Suzuki would have limited rights to buy them back.

But these Japanese devils have been dealing with Americans for a long time, and they have become extremely slippery. They also saw GM's current predicament, so when they bought back their own company's shares, they actually did not intend to sign the original contract.

to execute the contract price, intending to suppress the price of General Motors, and intend to get back its own shares at a low price.

After all, GM has been sucking blood from Suzuki for so many years, and it's time to get some of the benefits back. Otherwise, GM can just sell it to other companies. Suzuki doesn't care anyway.

Everyone knows that the Japanese automobile market is difficult, and Suzuki is not a big company, and it does not have any special technology. If you put it in any country with developed manufacturing industry, it is just a relatively low-end manufacturing industry, specializing in manufacturing some unpopular products.

It’s just a company with niche models.

As far as the current market is concerned, there are really not many car companies that are interested in Suzuki, so Suzuki is not worried at all. GM can find a more suitable successor than Suzuki itself.

But it was precisely because of their arrogance and contempt that they finally angered the people at GM. Well, you think I don't dare to sell your shares to others, right?

I really just sold it to you, and I sold it to you, the most disgusting Chinese people. Let’s see what you can do to me?

So there was Nick Reilly’s trip to China. In fact, Nick Reilly’s main purpose of coming to China this time was to sell the Suzuki shares in their hands, not

That police car deal...
