Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth

Hearing what Bao Zixuan said, Zhang Yuliang was still fine; the second son of the Zhang family was a little uneasy. The eldest brother is currently in charge of banking business and belongs to the core of the family; he is just helping in the family business and has long wanted to go out and have a career. However, he has no strength.

It’s not allowed, and dad doesn’t agree, so we can only let it go.

Now his brother-in-law asked him to go to Europe with him, and he was immediately interested; if he followed the route of the world's richest man, he would definitely not suffer. In Japan, the Zhang family had also invested in some industries before; but the scale was not very large. Bao Zixuan just gave him a call

, it was quickly dealt with; the profit was not small. But compared to the size of the Zhang family, it was not too much.

Now Europe is mentioned again, which proves to be profitable; Bao Zixuan's vision has never gone wrong. Another key point is that not everyone can be taken along by Bao Zixuan.

Since the split of Bao Huodong Mining Company, Bao Shaofou has rarely dealt with local entrepreneurs. He was able to bring the Zhang family with him entirely because of family ties. After all, the Zhang family's daughter is also his wife. For Ben

For Bao Zixuan, who has few relatives, it is natural to pay close attention to it.

Moreover, during the period when the other party was on a business trip, the third wife did an excellent job; not only did she accompany her daughter, but she also took her children out to play. Everyone has a scale in their mind, and the world's richest man is not confused at all.

In fact, in Bao Zixuan's mind, he had not thought about how powerful the Zhang family would become. But when he thought about it carefully, his own family was still the most reliable ally. Of course, he had to be wary of many things. There were many ancient emperors who were cheated by their maternal uncles.

In the future, the automobile industry will not say that a hundred flowers will bloom, but there will be many factories in the mainland alone.

The Zhang family can completely plan and secure positions in advance, which is better than cheapening outsiders. And not only will they bring the Zhang family with them this time, but if other families with good connections want to enter high-end manufacturing, there is no harm in bringing them along.

Don't ask for more gratitude from them, just don't cause trouble at critical moments; it's better for Chinese companies to be strong than outsiders.

Zhang Yuliang looked at his second son, Zhang Zhigang, and his meaning was obvious: You must have an attitude.

In fact, deep down in his heart, Zhang Yuliang already agreed with his son-in-law's proposal; he just wanted to see what his son thought. If it was really impossible to support the wall, then he could only give up.

Although Bao Zixuan is the son-in-law of the Zhang family, the more he is like this, the more careful he must be. He must not cause trouble, lest it be difficult for his daughter.

It is also a happy thing for a son to be able to take the leading position on his own, and to be able to explain himself in front of Bao Zixuan; while improving the strength of the family, he can also win face.

Zhang Zhigang thought for a moment and said, "What my father and brother-in-law said makes sense. The Zhang family is indeed in a bottleneck at present, and its structure is too simple. If we can enter high-end manufacturing, it will be of great benefit to the development of the family."

Zhang Yuliang glanced at Zhang Zhixin, and the meaning was obvious; didn't he know that the family should enter high-end manufacturing, especially the automobile industry. But it couldn't just talk big words, it had to come up with concrete plans.

Looking at his father's expression, Zhang Zhigang continued: "Britain has declared war on Argentina. No one knows how long the war will last. But judging from the posture of both sides, it will not be too short."

"After the Iron Lady came to power, although the British economy has greatly improved, it is not possible to freeze three feet in a day, and it is simply unrealistic to completely improve it. In addition, the second Falklands War is about to begin, and the funding problem will become serious in a short time.

It’s hard to get relief.”

"Many car companies in the UK need government support; or the largest shareholder has become the government. You can take the opportunity to acquire a few and re-integrate them; they will definitely be more influential than before."

At this moment, Zhang Yuliang's expression when he looked at his second son immediately changed. He didn't expect that this boy could bring him a surprise.

Perhaps it was his father's eyes that gave him courage. Zhang Zhigang continued: "As for which car company to acquire, I need my brother-in-law's opinion; after all, he is more professional in this regard."

Zhang Yuliang was very happy when he heard his son bring the ball to Bao Zixuan; he was very relieved about his son-in-law's vision and judgment. So he smiled and said: "Xian son-in-law, I don't know what your opinion is!"

Bao Shaofou knew that if he didn't reveal some information, he probably wouldn't be able to let it go. Fortunately, it wasn't an advantage for outsiders, so it didn't matter.

My father-in-law has already asked a question, so I have to answer it; otherwise it will not look good on me.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "At present, the British Land Rover brand has not been popular, but it might be considered."

"After the war in 1948, the first Land Rover was born in the United Kingdom; it was a simple, novel aluminum work vehicle. A new model manufactured by brothers Spencer and Maurice Wilks of the British Louvre Motor Company, which achieved simplicity and practicality.

A combination of durability and stability. The car soon became a huge success and by the mid-1950s, the Land Rover name had become synonymous with durability and outstanding off-road performance."

"Whether it is the military, customers engaged in agriculture, or the demanding emergency services industry, they all admire the quality of Land Rover. At that time, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill drove a Land Rover. By 1959, the 250,000th Land Rover vehicle was driven

The production line off the West Midlands has now established Land Rover's successful position in the market."

"In the 1960s, demand for four-wheel drive vehicles reached unprecedented levels; Land Rover was at the forefront of this emerging market. To meet this challenge, Land Rover engineers were determined to create a comfortable family off-road vehicle."

"In 1970, the Range Rover aroused an enthusiastic response when it was first launched. At the Louvre Motor Show in Paris, the Range Rover's luxurious design won widespread praise."

"Land Rover continued to innovate throughout the 1970s and 1980s and demonstrated its endurance in events such as the Paris-Dakar Rally, a testament to Land Rover's lean engineering design."

After hearing Bao Zixuan's introduction, the three of them immediately became interested.

Heiyun Group has long wanted to acquire Land Rover, but there has never been a suitable opportunity. As the oldest brand in the UK, Luofu Motors will not be able to accept it if it is acquired by an outsider. Of course, there is another key point, knowing that it is

Bao Zixuan acquires it; the other party will definitely take the opportunity to raise the price.

According to the original history, at this moment Land Rover and even the parent company Luofu will be acquired by British Aerospace Corporation. However, because the licensing of technology patents such as flying saucers and ground-effect aircraft takes up too much of British Aerospace's funds, they have no ability to acquire other companies.

.

After all, the British government's support is limited, and this is definitely the best time for the Zhang family to take action.

Zhang Yuliang thought for a while and said: "Xian son-in-law, you know something about Land Rover; how much funds do you think we need, and what are the future prospects."

Although the words are very subtle, the meaning I want to express is very clear; if there are too many funds, the Zhang family may not be able to get them all at once; I need your support.

In addition, acquisition is easy, but management and sales are a big problem; as a family, you have to be responsible to the end. After all, no one in the Zhang family understands the automobile industry, and you are the world's top expert in the industrial field; naturally you have to give the direction of development.

Bao Zixuan thought for a moment and said: "The current market value of Land Rover is around US$500 million; prepare US$600 million to ensure that everything is foolproof."

"Land Rover's sales did not meet expectations, which is indeed closely related to the oil crisis. But it is mostly due to the British being too conservative. Land Rover, which specializes in off-road vehicles, should not focus on the United States and Europe; it should look at the world.

, focusing on economically underdeveloped areas.”

"The underdeveloped economy means that urban supporting facilities are incomplete; the roads are naturally not that good. At this time, off-road vehicles are more convenient than any cars, but ordinary cars are difficult to drive on rough roads."

"The Middle East never cares about the price of oil, but pays more attention to car performance and size; Land Rover definitely has a huge market."

"As for transportation costs, building a factory directly in mainland China will perfectly solve a lot of troubles."

After hearing Bao Zixuan's plan, the Zhang family immediately became energetic; it turned out that everything was as expected.

When the road has been paved, there is nothing to hesitate; if you look forward and backward, it is difficult to achieve anything.

Zhang Yuliang said with a serious expression: "Second brother, what do you think?"

The bank has been managed by the boss, so naturally the second boss is responsible for the automobile industry. Although he has decided to acquire Land Rover, he still needs his son to show his attitude.

Of course, it is also about face, as the father-in-law, it is not very good to take the initiative to ask the son-in-law for help. Zhang Zhigang and Bao Zixuan are the same generation, and they are members of the same family, so it is natural for them to take care of each other.

Zhang Zhigang was not stupid at all, and of course he understood what his father meant; so he said very seriously: "My brother-in-law's proposal is very good. I have also thought about the expansion of the Zhang family's territory before; today I have given specific advice, which should not be missed.

"

Bao Shoufang certainly knew about his father-in-law's little thoughts; so he said with a smile: "If you don't have the funds, I can help solve it. And I also believe that with my second brother's ability, I can definitely make the company bigger and stronger."

When he heard about helping to solve the financial problem, Zhang Yuliang thought for a moment and said: "If it's only 600 million US dollars, it's not a big deal; we'll wait until it's enough."

"Although you are rich, there are too many places where you need money; sometimes you have to pay attention."

This is indeed the case; my father-in-law still sees it very clearly; not to mention the crazy acquisitions in the world, Heiyun Town alone is a bottomless pit.

In order to pay less taxes, we can only continue to increase cost investment; research and development and infrastructure are one of the few ways. Therefore, the construction cost of Heiyun Town can be said to be one plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus minus, which are more appropriate.

.

Coupled with the recruitment of various talents from all over the world every day, research and development is the fundamental reason for the company to continue to become stronger and not to be surpassed by others.

As a result, Heiyun Group's profits have not increased; instead, they have been decreasing year by year.

Even so, he is still the first taxpayer in Xiangjiang; even more than the sum of the second to ninth places.

How do outsiders know how profitable the Heiyun Group is? Although Zhang Youran knows it well; when you marry and obey your husband, some things must not be disclosed to your family. Therefore, in Zhang Yu's conscience, the son-in-law sees the family as a big business; but the expenses are also huge; he can

To solve the problem, it is better not to trouble him.

It also shows from the side that the Zhang family is far stronger than imagined; US$600 million does not seem to be a big amount in front of Zhang Yuliang.

It’s good not to have to pay for it yourself, so you don’t have to explain it later; it also makes you feel clean.

After that, several people discussed some details of the acquisition, and the conversation was stopped until the third lady knocked on the door and said that lunch was ready.

When the daughter returns home with her son-in-law and children, the Zhang family will naturally pay attention to it; of course, it also depends on whether the son-in-law is worthy. It is normal for a big family to be more realistic. The lunch is very sumptuous, and there is absolutely no fault in it; the world's richest man is a son-in-law.

The Zhang family can't be too shabby either.

After lunch, without making any stop, Mr. Bao left with his family.

In the car, I saw my wife was hesitant to speak; Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "We are husband and wife, don't be embarrassed; if you have anything to say, just say it. It's very tiring if we can't trust each other!"

Zhang Youran smiled and said: "No, I just don't know where to start."

"As for the Land Rover, it has been in the Heiyun Group's plan for a long time. There is no need to take too much care of the Zhang family. I think you should understand what it means."

After hearing his wife's words, Mr. Bao immediately understood what was going on. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuliang was very good to his daughter and knew what he could do and what he couldn't do.

From the introduction to Land Rover just now, it is not difficult to see how deeply Bao Zixuan understands it. As the world's richest man and the most successful businessman, he will never have time to understand the history and operating conditions of other companies.

There is only one motive for this - to acquire it, which shows that Heiyun Group has long thought about Land Rover. If it was deliberately given to the Zhang family for the sake of his daughter's face, it was not Zhang Yuliang's wish.

Therefore, I briefly explained it to my daughter and wanted to finally confirm what my son-in-law thought.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "What do I think it is? Tell my father-in-law that you don't have to worry about anything. There are many companies that Heiyun wants to acquire. How can they all be acquired?"

"Compared to Heiyun Group, Land Rover is more suitable for the Zhang family."

"Heiyun has its own military vehicle department and acquiring Land Rover will create a situation where it is fighting against itself, which is not conducive to the long-term development of the company."

"I know the Zhang family doesn't want to owe a favor, but you must not have such thoughts. Whether you admit it or not, the interests of the Bao family and the Zhang family are already tied together at this moment."

"Only when the Zhang family becomes stronger will its future development not be controlled by others."

After hearing what her husband said, Zhang Youran felt relieved; her father's situation was far worse than her husband's. Suddenly looking at the two daughters next to him, the idea of ​​having a son became firmer again.

The father was still waiting for news at home, and there was no need to avoid so many things between the couple. He directly picked up the phone and called his mother, explaining Bao Zixuan's thoughts in detail.

After listening to the third wife's introduction, Zhang Yuliang was very happy; he said with a smile: "Second brother, prepare the information and discuss the funds with your elder brother. You brothers will be responsible for this matter, and I will not participate."

"If you encounter any difficult problems, please ask your brother-in-law for advice."

It set the tone for the acquisition of Land Rover. It was from this moment on that the Zhang family entered the automobile manufacturing industry.
