Chapter 382: Acquisition (2)

"Heh......"

Even if Cao Mo explained this, Gu Fan was still confused, and Zhou Jian couldn't help but sneer and laugh, and said to Gu Fan:

"I said, it's enough for you to fool people into taking over the car maker with three or five million, if you play like this, you are not afraid of provoking other people's parents, and you won't be able to end up in the end?"

Gu Fan opened a refitting factory, and Zhou Jian had been a horse boy before and after the saddle for a long time, and he also knew very well that the refitting factory was in contact with many rich second generations who played sports cars.

In his opinion, whether it is Cao Mo or Shen Ji, they are all the children of a wealthy man with a huge fortune, and they were fooled by Gu Fan's set, and suddenly burst out with some inexplicable "ambitions", determined to invest in Gu Fan's refitting factory.

This is not surprising at all.

There are too many rich second generations in Xinhai who enjoy the wealth that the previous generation has worked hard to save and squander their lives, play sports cars and watches, go in and out of the drunken gold fan, and the lights are glamorous; there are also many rich second generations who take millions of dollars to "play investment", and the family even agrees with this, whether it is success or failure, the family will not care too much, as long as they can learn from it and prepare for the succession.

In Zhou Jian's opinion, Cao Mo and Shen Ji are such rich second generations, and they also feel that Gu Fan fooled them into spending three or five million to take over the carmaker, and their parents will not take it seriously if they know about it.

Just play, the children of the rich play a sports car, not three or five million?

The question is, how many super-rich people in Xinhai can take out two or three billion funds without caring about "playing investment" for the next generation?

Zhou Jian felt that it was no problem for Gu Fan to fool these two "rich second generations" in a small way, but if he was too big, he would alarm the parents of the people, and he would not be able to close the scene, not only Gu Fan would not be able to eat and walk around, but even he might be affected.

Who called him Gu Fan's "sister-in-law"?

Cao Mo looked at Zhou Jian, saw his thoughts clearly, and didn't want to see him continue to lie in the box to hinder their talks, and said: "Mr. Zhou may have misunderstood our identity and strength, or maybe he thinks that we are all too young, and we are using the wealth accumulated by our elders to squander it unscrupulously- It's a pity that I don't have the habit of carrying a business card with me, if Mr. Zhou pays more attention to the securities market, I should have the opportunity to hear the information of one of my companies in the next few days, after all, my company, in addition to the acquisition of Mr. Gu's carmaker modification factory, will also acquire some assets of Huachen Industry. Therefore, Mr. Zhou doesn't have to worry about Mr. Gu messing up this matter and implicating you in the end. ”

“......”

Zhou Jian stood there a little stupidly, wondering whether Cao Mo's words were true or false.

The key is that he just told Gu Fan what situation he is in now, this person in front of him doesn't kill a price, and he is stupid to buy a car maker at a price far greater than they imagined?

Something wrong with your brain?

"Mr. Gu's current situation may be a little difficult, of course I can take the turnwright at a lower price, and ask Mr. Gu to continue to be responsible for the operation of the turner, but the core value of the turnsmith is not a bunch of second-hand equipment, nor is it a few fragmented patents, but in Mr. Gu and Xu Gong. This also determines whether the next 200 million yuan I inject into the carsmith is really wasted, or can I build a car," Cao Mofeng smiled lightly, "Of course, when I say this, Mr. Zhou may not be able to understand, Mr. Zhou is willing to take two or three hundred million to burn and play when I have more money-now can I not stay here to hinder us from talking about things?"

Zhou Jian was stunned for a while before he saved Cao Mo from asking him to get out of the way, and immediately felt insulted, and his face turned red, but he couldn't figure out what the other party was, and he didn't dare to attack when he was drunk.

Gu Fan grabbed his wife Zhao Zhi's hand under the table, so as not to make himself look too excited.

"How many shares I hold in Tianyue Industry, the carier side also has to invest according to the proportion, don't want to leave me behind," Shen Ji didn't look at Zhou Jian anymore, and said to Cao Mo with a smile, "If I lose money, I won't lose much......;

In Kanem, Yang Deshan, Xie Sipeng, and even Shen Ji felt that Cao Mo had an extraordinary trust and confidence in others, but it turned out that the people Cao Mo relied on and relied on did not disappoint them.

In addition to the volume of the carmaker and Dongsheng Real Estate, they cannot be compared, and at the same time, many essential things are also different.

Dongsheng Real Estate left his uncle, left Xu Zhi and other senior executives, and after the debt restructuring, a new management team was replaced, even if the development and performance forces were not as fierce as before, but it was difficult to crash.

Therefore, according to normal business logic, it is completely possible and appropriate to "rob while the fire is hot" for Dongsheng Real Estate.

Whether the car maker can succeed or its value is completely not in the previous accumulation of assets and technology, and the car can't even talk about any team now, and more value is on Gu Fan alone.

Shen Ji also knew very well that of course they could "take advantage of the fire" to take over the carmaker for a value of five million or even less, and then let Gu Fan continue to stay in the carsmith with a seemingly good annual salary, but could they really expect Gu Fan to continue to engage in the technical development of that prototype car with the same passion as he had in the past ten years?

And if one day, Gu Fan's value is valued by other investors, and then Gu Fan is poached with several times the high salary or equity, they will complain and denounce Gu Fan for being ungrateful?

In the eyes of Shen Ji, an outsider, the completion of the prototype of the car maker is very low, but it is not impossible to complete it.

They are now investing money and giving the necessary resources to support, but in the future, they can only count on Gu Fan to play the role of the core of the soul when they form a formal and stronger development team.

The Turnsmith is a worthless asset, but the potential and future possibilities of the Turnsmith cannot be ignored, and this is what Cao Mo really values.

Turnsmith can be regarded as a pure venture capital project, and venture capital must not focus on the value of existing assets, and must not ignore or underestimate the role and value of the founder and founding team.

Cao Mo and Shen Ji no longer paid attention to Zhou Jian.

And Zhou Jian followed the two people who ran over to see the excitement, realizing that Gu Fan might really be a big man this time, and he was about to turn over, and he immediately no longer dared to have the mind to watch the excitement.

They pulled Zhou Jian's sleeves and dragged Zhou Jian out of the box in embarrassment.

"I want to apologize to you," Seeing Zhou Jian and the others leaving, Xu Aihua picked up the wine glass and said to Cao Mo excitedly, "First, I thought that you purely regarded the car maker as a spare tire that was only discarded, or even just as a small bargaining chip to put pressure on Hua Chen, and secondly, I thought that you were eager for quick success, and mistakenly thought that the automobile industry was a profiteering industry that made money, so some of the words today are not true......"

The old man Xu Aihua is still relatively pure, Cao Mo laughed, touched the cup and drank it all, and said: "I didn't plan to make a decision so quickly, since I have made a decision, I have to talk to Xu Bin and them......"

Cao Mo took out his mobile phone and dialed Xu Bin's phone: "Have you met Zhou Qizhi?"

"We just arrived at Jinhonghui, but Zhou Qizhi and the others were stuck in traffic, and it would take about 20 minutes to get to the hotel...... Xu Bin said on the other end of the phone.

It is difficult to expect that the traffic in Xinhai City will be smooth at about 6 o'clock in the evening, and it is normal for the banquet party or the party to be late for half an hour or an hour.

Zhou Qizhi was willing to meet, it didn't matter who invited him to dinner, Qian Wenhan felt that it was convenient for Jinhong to eat, so he arranged the meeting place to Jinhonghui.

"I haven't arrived yet, there is something I want to communicate with you and Mr. Qian in advance," Cao Mo said, "I decided to buy the carsmith in my personal name, develop it as an independent laboratory outside of Tianyue Industry, and then increase investment in the carmaker and continue to complete the ......development of Gu Fan's prototype car."

The investment risk of the car maker was too high, and Cao Mo decided to take this risk himself and develop separately from Tianyue Industry, so as not to fail in the development of prototypes in the future and cause irreparable damage to Tianyue Industry - this damage is not a loss of funds, but will also have a direct impact on the allocation of human and technical resources.

In any case, the acquisition of the car maker will have certain technical support for the development of Tianyue Industry, so Cao Mo should talk to Xu Bin and Qian Wenhan in time, so that they can adjust their negotiation strategies and expectations with Huachen.

"Ah," Xu Bin said in surprise on the other side of the phone, "Mr. Cao decided to develop a prototype? I have some ideas with Huang Yijiang and Xu Lizheng, but I didn't expect to come to this point so quickly, and I didn't mention it much before-it shouldn't be too late for us to meet Zhou Qizhi, do you have time to meet again in the evening, or invite Gu Fan to the center tomorrow?"

Xu Bin: They had ideas for the development of prototypes before, which meant that they wanted to be more or less involved in the development of the car maker, which means that they had to consult their opinions on more specific details of cooperation.

"We're not very happy to eat here, let's go back to Tianzifang directly, after you and Mr. Qian have met Zhou Qizhi, go directly to Tianzifang to meet us - we'll talk in detail when you arrive." Cao Mo said crisply.

Qian Wenhan and Xu Bin met Zhou Qizhi in Jinhong to avoid the embarrassment of accidentally bumping into each other, Cao Mo felt that he couldn't save trouble and then went to Jinhonghui, so he went to Tianzifang to find a place to live, and waited for Qian Wenhan and Xu Bin to rush over to talk.

Cao Mo hung up the phone and said to Gu Fan: "Xu Bin also has some ideas for the development of the prototype, but they didn't expect it to come to this point so quickly, so they don't communicate with me too much - however, since I have advanced this matter to this point, and I must start doing it, it is still necessary to brainstorm." Let's go directly to Tianzifang now, and wait for them to meet Zhou Qizhi, and then talk in detail together, how about it?"

"Good!"

Talking with Xu Bin and Huang Yijiang, Gu Fan felt that he could be more down-to-earth, so he immediately did not hesitate to let Zhao Zhi pay the bill first, and they rushed directly to the city;

"Why are you leaving? I just entertained a few tables of old guests, and I was about to go and have a few more drinks with you!" Xiao Changmin was standing behind the cashier and pulling with Zhao Zhila, it seemed that he wanted to invite this meal and not let Zhao Zhi pay, and when he saw Cao Mo and Gu Fan going downstairs, he hurriedly came over to keep them.

Xiao Changmin was worried that Gu Fan would have a hard time and would borrow money from him, so his attitude became cold, this is also human nature, Cao Mo didn't think there was anything wrong with him, but at the same time, he also felt that Xiao Changmin was not as interesting as Gu Fan, and he didn't want to deal with it, that was also his freedom.

Cao Mo thought so, so he went out with Shen Ji first, and let Gu Fan and Zhao Zhi stay in the store to pull and pull with Xiao Changmin to solve the problem of paying the bill......

............

............

Cao Mo and his team set off from Tianwan Village Industrial Park at six o'clock, and it took less than half an hour to drive to the Central Elevated Highway, but it took an hour and a half to walk the last six or seven kilometers back to Tianzifang.

It's so late, Qian Wenhan and Xu Bin will come over at any time.

Cao Mo and the others did not look for a Chinese restaurant and ordered a table of dishes in a serious manner, but found a café that provided business light meals and sat down.

Cao Mo and the others each ordered a simple meal and finished eating, and as soon as they changed the tea, Qian Wenhan, Xu Bin, Huang Yijiang, and Ge Jun rushed over.

"What do you kid want to do without me?" Qian Wenhan sat down and asked with a smile.

"I want to do something, how dare I leave you alone?" Cao Mo said, "The uncertainty of the turnsmith is very large, and if it is directly incorporated into Tianyue Industry, Mr. Ge will have some cards, so I pondered for a long time, and I felt that it might be more appropriate to develop the turnsmith as an independent laboratory outside of Tianyue Industry." Of course, how to develop independent laboratories still needs everyone to brainstorm. ”

"The industrial investment fund of Dongjiang Securities needs to be more stable, and in principle, it does not participate in venture capital, which is not impossible to break through, but it will be quite troublesome. Ge Jun said bluntly.

In other words, the car maker can develop independently and not be tied to Tianyue Industry, Dongjiang Securities can invest in the convertible bonds of Tianyue Industry, and Ge Jun is also sure to persuade other members of the investment committee, but if they are involved, things will be troublesome.

Ge Jun is also very familiar with the development of industries at home and abroad, Cao Mo wants to develop a prototype car on the platform of the Turnsmith Laboratory, 200 million is only enough to test the water in the early stage, and there is no need to expect 200 million to get a set of mature technology.

This kind of investment and risk are not borne by TK Securities' industrial investment fund.

Qian Wenhan's Xinhong Investment is private capital, and Qian Wenhan has an absolute controlling stake in Xinhong Investment - he wants to participate in the development of the carmaker and prototype car, and he feels that the risk is equal to the expected return potential, and he can make the decision himself.

"I knew that Tianyue Industry was a big pit, and I couldn't easily promise you," Qian Wenhan saw that there were people smoking in the café, and the waiter didn't stop it, so he asked the driver to take out cigars in the car and distribute them to everyone, and said, "Now I can only play with you in a heartbeat......

"Did Mr. Cao decide to buy the carmaker, and continue to develop the prototype car on the platform of the carmaker?" Xu Bin sat down and asked solemnly.

Cao Mo nodded and said, "What do you think, you didn't tell me what you wanted?"

"It's not that we have any ideas," Xu Bin said, "Zheng Xiaoyuan, who was hired by Xinhai University to be in charge of the National Automotive Power Engineering Laboratory, we proposed to Mr. Cao that Lao Gu and Zheng Gong knew him - if Mr. Cao decided to develop an independent laboratory on the basis of the carsmith, I think we could meet Zheng Xiaoyuan." ”

"Okay, we can meet, but what the hell is going on, you don't want to play dumb riddles with me. Cao Mo said.

This Zheng Xiaoyuan, Xu Bin mentioned to him I don't know how many times, in the early years, he also worked in Huachen for two years, and then took the examination to study abroad, stayed in a German automobile laboratory to work, and then returned to China as a national key young scientist, taught at Xinhai University, and presided over a national automotive power engineering laboratory affiliated to Xinhai University.

Huang Yijiang was also a classmate and colleague of Zheng Xiaoyuan when he studied and worked in Germany, and Xu Bin was introduced by Zheng Xiaoyuan and invited Huang Yijiang to Tianyue Industry to preside over the product development and testing center.

It's a pity that Cao Mo has returned to China several times, and his schedule is very full, and he hasn't had a chance to meet Zheng Xiaoyuan yet.

This time, Tianyue Industry is determined to embark on a new project, regardless of the size of the start, Cao Mo will take the time to meet with the cutting-edge figures in the field of domestic automotive power engineering.

"Lao Gu's assembled car, because the relationship is relatively familiar, I and Li Zheng have followed very early, Zheng Xiaoyuan returned to China, and Yijiang joined Tianyue Industry, we have also had dinner with Lao Gu many times and discussed another technical route. Of course, Lao Gu did this relatively early, and also made a certain foundation, and none of us are poor and can't come up with money, even if it is speculated that another route may be more reasonable, but the reality is that Lao Gu can only follow the old path...... "Xu Bin said.

Cao Mo said: "After I invested in the carsmith, do you hope that the carsmith can practice another technical route?"

"I don't know if you know anything about new energy vehicles?" Xu Bin asked, but he didn't mean to compare Cao Mo, he directly and briefly introduced, "New energy vehicles are not unique to the new century, in fact, long before the emergence of fuel vehicles, pure electric vehicles have already begun to be applied." According to statistics, in 1900, that is, nearly 110 years ago, of the more than 4,000 cars sold in Europe and the United States that year, 40 percent were steam locomotives, 38 percent were lead-acid battery electric vehicles, and the remaining 22 percent were fuel vehicles. At that time, fuel vehicles were still external combustion engines, noisy, and emitting black smoke, which was very unpopular, until the development of engine technology matured, fuel vehicles occupied an absolute advantage, and pure electric vehicles were completely withdrawn from the market. In the sixties of the last century, the oil crisis broke out, and at the same time, European and American countries began to pay attention to environmental issues, and the development of pure electric vehicles was re-emphasized. In the following ten years, the drive technology of electric vehicles has been greatly launched, and some small electric vehicles have begun to occupy a fixed market, such as scooters for golf courses. However, limited by the development of battery technology, electric vehicle manufacturers to the nineties, began to develop hybrid vehicles, in order to overcome the problem of short battery and mileage, at the same time, fuel cells, hydrogen engines and other technologies have also emerged, but after entering the 21st century, the battery density has increased rapidly, the endurance level of electric vehicles and the power performance of the motor, has been stronger than the general low-emission fuel vehicles, and has become the mainstream technology in this field again...... At present, there is no city in China to officially pilot the promotion of new energy vehicle technology, but Xinqi, Changan, BAIC and other large manufacturers have begun to develop and reserve some new energy vehicle technology ......"
