Shenhao: Tianhu Started And Reached The Pinnacle Of Life!

Chapter 28: Six Billion Acquisition Case, The Top Luxury Car Brand!

Dearborn, Michigan, America, May 1, 2007.

The headquarters of the famous world auto giant Ford is located here, and Tang Tian and his party also met Bill Ford here.

"Don!"

"I didn't expect you to be so young!"

Bill Ford, the executive chairman of Ford, looked at the young man who was in full bloom, and his old face couldn't help showing surprise.

Bill Ford, who was born in 1957, is already 50 years old this year. Standing with Tang Tian, ​​who is just 18 years old, the gap is too obvious.

"Mr. Bill."

"There is an old saying in the Xia Kingdom, ambition is not based on age."

"Age doesn't affect the conversation between us, does it?"

With a calm expression, a smile appeared on the corner of Tang Tian's mouth, and he said confidently.

Europeans and Americans do not reject such directness, on the contrary, they prefer this kind of direct dialogue to hiding it.

Therefore, Bill Ford smiled and said heartily, "Don, let's see the surprise you brought me."

As they spoke, the two entered the manor one after the other, and the servant brought the brewed black tea to the table.

"Mr. Bill."

"The Ford Group lost $12.7 billion last year, breaking a 103-year record held by the Ford Group."

"The full-scale outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis is imminent, and your life should become more and more difficult."

Picking up the black tea and taking a sip, Tang Tian said something seemingly casually.

Bill Ford, who was facing him, suddenly froze. It was precisely because the Ford Group suffered too much losses last year and faced the subprime mortgage crisis this year, so he had to reduce funds to resist the upcoming major challenges as much as possible.

Aston Martin only sells a hundred cars a month, which is a drop in the bucket compared to the huge amount of money Ford has invested in it.

In just two sentences, the initiative of this conversation fell into Tang Tian's hands, and Bill Ford also noticed that the young man opposite him was difficult to deal with.

"Don."

"You're not just here to expose the old truth today, are you?"

"There is a saying in your country of Xia, open the skylight and speak brightly."

A pair of cloudy old eyes stared at Tang Tian, ​​Bill Ford said slowly.

"certainly!"

Tang Tian shrugged and said, "I heard that someone offered 800 million dollars to acquire Aston Martin, but you didn't even sell it."

"Let me guess, the reason why you don't sell it may not be that the price is inappropriate, but that the person is inappropriate."

"David Richards is just a puppet, John Hinds acts as a middleman, and the British consortium stands behind them."

"No matter how short of money Ford is, it is impossible to let the top ten consortiums in the United States ignore it."

Click!

Bill Ford's face has become very gloomy.

Because, Tang Tian guessed everything right.

The Ford Group is at an extremely critical juncture, so naturally it is impossible to insist on a price of one billion US dollars, but the tacit understanding of the top ten consortiums in the United States makes Ford have to hesitate to sell Aston Martin to the British consortium, whether it will cause many American consortiums. against.

"Old Bill."

"I paid $850 million to buy Aston Martin."

"Don't rush to refuse, first listen to my thoughts."

At this time, Tang Tian stopped Bill Ford, who wanted to speak, and continued: "Star Investment is an out-and-out Xiaguo enterprise."

"The sale of Aston Martin to England will not only cause displeasure among the top ten conglomerates in the United States, but will also affect the sales of the Ford Group in Europe."

"The world's four major auto groups: Volkswagen, General Motors, Fiat, and Ford. The European market is almost divided between Volkswagen and Fiat."

"In terms of top luxury cars, Volkswagen has Porsche, Lamborghini, Seat, Bentley, Bugatti."

"Fiat owns Ferrari, Maserati, Alfa Romeo."

"With Jaguar, Land Rover, and Aston Martin in its hands, Ford barely squeezed into the top luxury car market in Europe."

"At this time, without Aston Martin, the sports car brand, how can we maintain the situation with only Jaguar and Land Rover?"

"On the contrary, with Aston Martin in England, there is a reason to expel Ford."

"All they need is a slogan: Europe belongs to European cars!"

"At that point, Ford won't just lose an Aston Martin."

Boom!

These words exploded in Bill Ford's mind like thunder on dry land.

Under the influence of the Eurosystem, the European economic revival has already begun.

The top ten consortiums in the United States and even American companies have been targeted by consortiums from various countries in Europe, and the most vicious is the British consortium.

If Aston Martin falls into the hands of England, why can't it become a banner for England to counterattack the auto market.

"On the contrary, selling Aston Martin to us will not only not arouse the hostility of the top ten financial groups in the United States, but also win the favor of the entire Xia Country market."

"Right now, Xia Country is the second largest market in the world, second only to the United States."

"Isn't it better to gain a firm foothold in Xiaguo than Ford's trembling in Europe?"

Tang Tian added a few words at the end, revealing the attitude of a bachelor.

Seeing the young man from the Xia Kingdom in front of him acting like you can figure it out, Bill Ford was a little annoyed, but he had to admit that what he said hit his own weakness.

"All right."

"you win!"

After pondering, Bill Ford showed a helpless expression.

After a while, Ford Group CEO Mulally brought the legal team to the manor. Once the two teams got in touch, they continued to discuss the details of the acquisition, almost pennies and bucks, and the discussions continued one after another.

On the contrary, Tang Tian was led by Bill Ford to his private collection warehouse, and a total of 3,000 bottles of various wines appeared in front of his eyes.

"Don!"

"Romanee-Conti, Petrus, Lippin, Le Hua, Lafite, Latour, Mouton, Obiang, Margaux."

"There are also Hennessy, Johnnie Walker, Chivas Regal, Remy Martin, and Moet champagne. There are a total of forty-nine kinds of alcohol in this."

"Most of them are new wines purchased in previous years, and there are also some more famous vintages."

Pointing to the huge wine cellar, Bill Ford said proudly, "I'll give you whatever wine you like."

The guy seemed very excited about the impending $850 million deal.

"Forehead."

Scanning around, Tang Tian didn't see baijiu in a daze, maybe it's because foreigners don't like Xiaguo baijiu.

However, there are basically red wines from the top ten wineries, as well as whiskey and brandy. He really doesn't like the latter.

In the end, Bill Ford gave him a box of 85-year-old Romanee-Conti. This year, Romanee-Conti is the most famous and the most expensive. In 2018, the average price of a bottle was as high as 300,000 RMB , compared with it, Lafite in 1982 is rubbish.
