When Ferrari turned its attention away from Maserati and paid more attention to its own shares, Tommaso began negotiations with Yang Dongxu after two days of hesitation.

100% control of the shares is the premise, and the only thing that prevents the acquisition under this premise is the amount, and Tommaso sold all the shares in his hands for a price of one billion dollars.

This price is undoubtedly inflated, after all, Maserati can now see that anyone with a discerning eye is going downhill. At this time, since Tommaso wanted to get rid of this burden, he also offered such a high price, which undoubtedly made people feel insincere.

First of all, Maserati has more than 300 engineers and nearly 500 workers, and there are many patents for automotive technology, of course, these technical patents may be a grade behind Ferrari, but for China, it is absolutely high-tech.

With the technical barrier policy adopted by the Europeans against China, they have already shown their sincerity by offering a billion dollars to see it at Tommaso.

"If you stick to this price, you can keep the technology and production lines that you think are very valuable, and I just need the engineers at Maserati, the workers on the assembly line and the management of the company, and we will calculate the price of these things. After talking for three days in a row, after Tommaso bit the price and resolutely refused to back down, Yang Dongxu directly threw out this sentence.

The look on his face was a little impatient, and he looked like you like to sell it or not, and you don't sell it.

Seriously, some of Maserati's automotive technologies are indeed what Yang Dongxu wants, but he is not so eager for these technologies, he has almost emptied all the databases of a large car and a heavy industry from the Soviet Union, what technology does he want now?

That's why he chose to buy Maserati, he mainly wanted to use this shell. He recruited a large number of engineers from the Soviet Union, but the workers could not be all dug up, which means that he now has empty production lines and technology, but no skilled workers.

If you cooperate with domestic car companies, the technology gap is here after all, and it takes a bit of time for domestic car companies to digest these technologies, and he doesn't want to wait.

Therefore, he hopes to buy Maserati at a certain price, use Maserati's mature production line and management to set up his own car company, and then let Maserati engineers and self-dug engineers combine to digest the technology in a short period of time and push the company to a new height.

Before the acquisition, he had already made a plan, one-third of the engineers and technologies he dug up would be placed in Italy, and the other two-thirds would be placed in China, and with Maserati as the parent company and domestic automobile companies to cooperate, the two sides would digest these technologies together at the same time, and use the shell of Sino-foreign joint ventures to expand the domestic market as soon as possible.

Seriously, if he didn't have confidence in the domestic auto companies, he wouldn't have gone around and got a foreign auto company to seize the initiative.

This lack of confidence is not that Yang Dongxu, who is Chinese, looks down on his country, nor is it that he admires foreign flattery and feels that Maserati can digest the technology, and feels that domestic car companies cannot digest.

But the facts are in front of us, and now that the collapse of the Soviet Union is imminent, all kinds of technologies on the Ukrainian side are like cabbages that don't need money.

In his previous life, there were no cattle who took a fancy to automobiles, and advanced technology and talents were dug from the Soviet Union? Obviously, there must have been, and when Yang Dongxu was digging for these talents, he met several compatriots who were worth a lot of money.

Since these automotive technical talents and production lines have also been dug up in the previous life, the problem comes. With the support of the Soviet Union, a superpower that can compete with the United States, why did the development of domestic automobile companies in the previous life be a mess?

Such a huge automobile market cake is allowed to gallop by various foreign car brands, and domestic cars can't raise their heads on their own turf when Yang Dongxu is reborn?

What is the specific reason for this, Yang Dongxu has not studied it in his previous life, so he doesn't know. But as long as he is not blind, he knows that this pit is a bit big, so he struggles to buy a foreign car company that is quite good to bypass this pit.

Otherwise, he is not stupid, he has enough dollars in his hand, whether he wants talents or technology to go to the Soviet Union, and even some heavy industrial equipment is pulled to the country casually, he has a brain convulsion, and he has nothing to do at this time to go to Italy to buy Maserati?

A Chinese does not even want technology!

Aren't they willing to pay a high price for any technology, no matter how many years of obsolescence? Why is this Chinese they met so strange?

The puzzled Tommasotho people inquired about Yang Dongxu's origin, although they didn't find anything specific. But now as long as the world has the ability, they are sharpening their knives and pulling the Soviet Union's home, the other party doesn't want their own technology, and their country is so close to the Soviet Union, and he understands the reason for this with his ass.

Now Tommaso is a bit of a wax, Ferrari bought Maserati at a low price, because the two companies have too much overlap, and there are not many highlights of Maserati itself if these overlaps are removed, so Ferrari naturally will not offer any high prices.

Originally, I thought that Yang Dongxu had nothing here and wanted to sell it at a high price, but now people's technical reserves are not bad. Compared with the technical people, they seem to pay more attention to the front-line workers and the company's middle-level managers, and even the production line can be set up by themselves.

Excluding all kinds of unneeded technologies and fixed production, although Yang Dongxu's appeal is greater than that of Ferrari, it is obviously impossible to sell the company at the price he expected before.

With this understanding, the next negotiation Tomasu is much more sincere, after all, removing those technical reserves and engineers, Yang Dongxu can choose too many car companies, although Maserati's research laboratory is stronger than other car companies in contact with Yang Dongxu, but the strength is limited.

Yang Dongxu chooses other car companies, at most, it is just a little more time to digest, if this time only costs a little money, Yang Dongxu will definitely be willing to save money. If it was too much, he would have preferred to waste a little more time.

So after talking back and forth for two more days, I roughly figured out the increase that Yang Dongxu was willing to pay for this time. Thomas grabbed $750 million, and Yang agreed to the purchase amount after a day of consideration.

The acquisition amount is negotiated, and there is nothing to do with Yang Dongxu next, the technical and personnel acceptance, the company's various asset transfers, and the specific details of the technical transfer, there are professional people to deal with them and he does not need to worry about them.

What he has to do now is to go to the R&D department with Zhou Ya to convene a meeting with all my engineers, and then at the same time raise everyone's salaries by 10%, he took out a few good technical materials and put them in the research room.

After such a double insurance, if there are still engineers who want to leave, then he will be very happy to let people go through the resignation procedures for him. He lacks everything, there is no shortage of engineers at present, and it is a big deal to dig some from the Soviet Union, although these engineers must have a process of adaptation, but this time is consumed by him.

The R&D room settled down and went to the factory again. The same salary increase, and the promise of options for workers and middle management, as for the company's top management, Yang Dongxu is still in the process of investigation.

In order to stabilize the company, the senior management must leave a certain proportion of the number of people, but it will definitely not be all left, whether it is the possibility of these high-level executives as an old man who may appear to overhead Yang Dongxu, or they must reserve a lot of positions to cultivate their own manpower, these people do not have the possibility of all staying.

However, before cleaning up those people and leaving those people, Yang Dongxu also called these people together for a meeting.

"What kind of technology and capital do I have in my hands, after nearly half a month of negotiations, you all know more or less something. Since I have bought the company out of the box, then you executives will definitely have to leave some people. Yang Dongxu didn't beat around the bush and said directly.

Such a red fruit made some commotion in the conference room, and many people looked a little unsightly. Honestly, putting aside the somewhat uncomfortable point that a Chinese has become his own boss, none of the seven high-level executives here are willing to leave Maserati.

It's to say that feelings, but reluctance is certain. Because just as Yang Dongxu said, he has any capital The high-level people present don't say Menqing'er, but at least they can see the possibility of Maserati being brilliant again.

Working in a very promising company, whether it is your future salary or development prospects, there is no doubt about it, so naturally no one wants to leave.

"I won't talk about the people who left, but the conditions for the people who stayed, first I hope that the people who have a relationship with the government can recommend themselves, after all, the company will definitely not be able to develop without the support of the government in the future.

Second, I hope that the people left behind have certain contacts and resources in the industry, after all, the company cannot produce everything by itself if it wants to develop, and we need the perfect cooperation of the upstream and downstream industrial chains.

Third, I want market talents, China doesn't need you to care, but Europe I need a talent who can expand the market to stand up, the Italian market we will not give up, but the company has to go out and fight Ferrari is not a wise choice. ”

As soon as Yang Dongxu's three requests came out, the conference room fell silent, and everyone frowned and thought about which one of the three conditions they were suitable for. The three conditions are very tactful, but the meaning expressed is very direct.

"Okay, that's all for today's meeting, who here wants to stay, please decide for yourself which conditions are suitable, and then we can make an appointment to talk in private. Yang Dongxu stood up, smiled, and left the conference room.

After Yang Dongxu left, several senior executives of the company did not leave, and everyone stopped thinking, but looked at each other.

"Cunning Chinese. A big nose sitting in the upper position on the left couldn't help but snort.

Dismissal at the top is certainly a joy for middle managers because they see room for improvement, but the departure of senior management will definitely bring pain to the company.

And now Yang Dongxu kicked the ball left by whoever left it back directly under the feet of these high-level officials, which will undoubtedly simplify this pain to the weakest, and at the same time, those who stay can also be sure that they can use it, at least for now.
