Zhou Ya was busy with the charity gala, and Yang Dongxu began to integrate the resources in his hands, since he has decided to tilt the resources towards the automobile industry, he needs to integrate the funds first without affecting the development of other industries in his hands.

After all, although Maserati is not a world-class queen now, its total assets add up to nearly a billion dollars, and it is still a dollar.

The Soviet Union set aside some funds to see if it could make another profit when it collapsed. The rest of the money, including the commission he got from cooperating with Ivan before, Yang Dongxu gathered all of it.

Such a large-scale transfer of funds is easy to attract the attention of others, but most of the funds here are not placed in the country, so there is not much trouble in mobilizing.

When the charity dinner was successfully held, and the donation of 16.38 million yuan caused a sensation across the country, and a new wind of Hope Primary School was set off in an instant, Yang Dongxu, who went abroad for the first time, came to Italy after several times.

Modena, the Italian capital of automobiles, the engine capital of the world. The headquarters of the world's top automobile companies such as Maserati, Ferrari, Pagani and many other countries in the later civilized world are located here.

Contrary to the high-rise buildings, the buildings here basically preserve the classical European architectural style of the Middle Ages, and look more like a classical tourist town than a famous gathering place for top supercars.

In addition to Yang Dongxu and Zhou Ya coming over this time, there are more than 20 people in the entourage, except for the five members of the negotiation team, all the others are bodyguards, after all, although the world-famous mafia nest is not in Modena, its influence in Italy is increasing day by day, Yang Dongxu doesn't want to have any problems with his personal safety, not to mention that he still has Zhou Ya by his side.

There is no middleman to introduce, because Zhou Ya holds Maserati shares in her hand, and as a shareholder of the company, it is easier to meet the chairman than to take a letter of introduction or find a middleman.

is only so there is a stake in Maserati, naturally because Yang Dongxu wanted to make a layout when he was in the public before. In addition to investing in hurricane and hurricane buildings, the money from trading in those years was all used by Yang Dongxu to buy shares in well-known companies in his mind.

Among them, Maserati is one of the targets, and the proportion of shares it occupies is not low. After all, although Maserati ushered in the takeover of the savior Argentine Tommaso, it did develop to a peak, and the design and development of the car as soon as possible made her popular for a while.

At the same time, although Maserati now produces supercars, as early as 79 years, they changed their business direction and produced rear-wheel drive sports cars that are more suitable for the market and cheaper.

When Zhou Ya bought Maserati's shares, it was at a time when the company's sales were turbulent, so it didn't cost much to take a 13.6% stake at that time.

The major shareholders of the company naturally contacted in advance when they visited, so as soon as they arrived at the door of the company, they were greeted with the warm hospitality of the company's chairman Tommaso.

This is a very elegant and humorous old man, this is Yang Dongxu's first feeling when he sees Thomasso. And for the company's always mysterious major shareholders, it turned out to be two very young children.

That's right, Yang Dongxu and Zhou Ya are children in Tommaso's eyes, he is already in his seventies this year, not to mention his son, even if he is a grandson, he is already Zhou Ya's age, not to mention Yang Dongxu, who looks younger.

So in the first impression, Tommaso felt that the two children in front of him were probably the children of the family behind the shares, and they directly used the shareholders' rights to initiate the note, which had a playful meaning in it.

However, although he was a little displeased because of his age, he did not show it on his face, but warmly received Yang Dongxu and Zhou Ya, and personally took them to visit the headquarters of Maserati.

The reason for this enthusiasm is that Maserati is currently facing a difficult situation, and after thinking about it for a long time and not finding a way out of it, he moved the idea of selling his shares.

This time, I only received Zhou Ya and Yang Dongxu in person, just to see if this mysterious shareholder had any way to solve the current predicament that the company was facing.

And the answer given by Yang Dongxu is naturally - no.

Even if there were, there was none. After all, he came to buy Maserati and wanted her to develop rapidly, and that was after he won it, not now.

Although Thomas was disappointed with this answer, he could understand it a little in his heart. After all, Maserati faced a Ferrari and the behemoth he didn't have.

He can't do anything about it, so what can he do about these two young people from that backward country? After all, the company's problems at the moment can not only be solved by money. Or maybe it takes a lot of money and a lot of time to solve. And what he lacks most now is time.

"You want to buy the shares in my hands?" After visiting the company, Tommaso, who returned to the office to entertain Yang Dongxu and Zhou Ya, was surprised when he heard the first request made by the other party, and then his brows furrowed.

Seeing Tommaso's appearance, Yang Dongxu didn't speak, and Zhou Ya obviously understood what the other party meant, so he motioned to the assistant next to him and took out the share certificate in the bag, proving that he was the holder of these shares, not a young man from a family, and she had the right to decide on this matter, not a joke.

"Can you ask me why you came up with the idea of acquiring this company, rather than a win-win partnership?" asked Tommaso after a half-silence.

"We are more optimistic about the Chinese market than the Italian market. At this time, it is undoubtedly impossible for the company to build an automobile production line in China. It just so happened that my family was also very optimistic about the development of automobiles, so we planned to buy an automobile company to develop ourselves. It was still Zhou Ya who spoke.

"The Chinese market?" Thomas frowned.

Like most Westerners, Thomas has no prejudice against China, but the first thing that comes to mind when he thinks of the country is that it is backward and then poor.

It was hard for him to imagine that anyone in such a poor country could afford a sports car, even if it was a cheaper sports car that they had already produced to meet the needs of the market, after all, that was a lot of money.

The office fell silent again, Tommaso silently drank coffee, he had feelings for this company, after all, this company was reborn in his hands, this is his pride.

Therefore, he is definitely unwilling to put his pride in a poor and backward country, so his silence this time is no longer thinking, but an obvious refusal.

"If the company is successfully acquired, the headquarters and R&D base will remain the same in Modena, after all, the environment here is more suitable for the development of the company, and the development of the mainland is just a new market that we want to expand. Yang Dongxu, who had not spoken, spoke.

Speaking of Ferrari Tommaso's face stiffened, he was full of unconvincing for this old opponent, but he was stronger than people, not to mention that there was a behemoth standing behind him, he was not convinced, but there was no way to defeat the other party.

"Why did you choose China over somewhere else? I don't look down on your home country, but that place doesn't seem to be suitable for the sports car industry at the moment. Tommaso asked again.

"Because the resources we have in our hands at home can minimize the risk, even if it doesn't work, there won't be much loss. At the same time, the Chinese market is just trying, and after we are thoroughly familiar with the automotive industry, it is natural to expand into other markets.

Again, Maserati must go out, otherwise the development space here will be suppressed forever. You know better than I do what the global automotive market looks like right now, and focusing on the Italian market is not only facing fierce competition from Ferrari, but also from other automotive industries. ”

"Is it just about acquisitions?" Tommaso had also thought about letting Maserati go out before, but the resources and contacts in his hands were on the Italian side, and if you want to go out, you can't just get a production line abroad, and all the aspects involved in this cannot be solved with money.

So knowing that he was not defeated by Ferrari, he could only tap his own potential, but could not borrow from the outside. Now that someone is able to expand foreign markets, the first place to test the waters is China, a place he is not optimistic about. But the other party obviously has the resources to expand foreign markets, and he is naturally a little tempted.

"I'm sorry, the family side means a wholly-owned acquisition, we plan to test the waters in the automotive industry, and a car company that is completely our own is what we need. Since we had no intention of buying a stake in Maserati, we chose to negotiate here for the first time.

You can think about this matter, and if you are interested, we can continue to talk. If you are not interested, please let us know as soon as possible, so that we can make other options. And if you are interested in our shares, you can also put it forward, and it is no problem to sell it at the right price. Yang Dongxu said lightly.

Tommaso's brow furrowed again, and he stared at Yang Dongxu, trying to see from his face that this was a strategy of retreat. Or is it really because he bought Maserati because he happened to have a stake in his hand.

However, if you want to see it from Yang Dongxu's face, it is naturally not something he can do, unless he can read minds.

So the first meeting naturally did not lead to anything, and after a few people had lunch very friendly, Yang Dongxu returned to the hotel where he was staying.

The next day, Yang Dongxu did not go to Maserati again, but let out the news that he and Tommaso were negotiating to buy Maserati, and expressed his interest in other equal or weaker car companies, so that many people from car companies came to the door by themselves without him going to the door.

After all, Italy's automotive industry is in the process of consolidation, and the world's automotive industry is booming and competition is becoming fiercer. Not everyone wants to fight hard in this industry, as long as the price is right, there are not a few people who want to exit happily.
