The three most important parts of a car are undoubtedly the engine, gearbox and chassis.

As long as any of these three go wrong, then the car is facing an overhaul.

Among them, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars itself is the top engine manufacturer in the UK, and some of the technologies are aero engine technology.

If we can acquire Leyland Motors Group, the engine technology will be more perfect, and almost all the cutting-edge technologies in the field of British automotive engines will be integrated.

As far as the engine is concerned, it can be confident to be tough with any car company in the world.

Then there's the car chassis.

Leyland Motor Group is the best automotive chassis manufacturing company in the UK, if it is acquired, combined with the strength of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars itself in the chassis, it will be the first in the UK and the world's first!

So it stands to reason that the next step should be to acquire gearbox-related companies.

Unfortunately, there is no well-known gearbox manufacturer in the UK.

Nowadays, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, and even British car manufacturers, almost all have transmissions from ZF or Dogetrag.

But these two companies, for the time being, want to acquire or buy shares, it is extremely difficult!

In this case, the best thing to do is to select a promising transmission manufacturer and train it.

Rudolph Brooke couldn't pick up in the UK, so he expanded the selection to Commonwealth member states, and then Canada's Magna International Company came into his sights.

The appearance of this company surprised Xia Yu, because although Magna International was still weak at this time, its annual turnover just exceeded 100 million Canadian dollars last year, and it only had a little influence in the field of transmissions, but it could not cover its future glory!

Before Xia Yu's rebirth, Magna International was already the world's third largest auto parts manufacturer, with an annual turnover of more than $40 billion, only below Bosch in Germany and Denso in the island country, and the gap with the second-place Denso company was only $2 billion.

At that time, Magna's seven-speed transverse dual-clutch transmission was the sixth largest in the world.

Not only that, Magna International has strong capabilities in the fields of interior systems, seat systems, latching systems, metal body and chassis systems, mirror systems, etc., and the production of parts covers almost all the parts required by the car, in line with its status as the world's third largest auto parts manufacturer.

As long as Magna International is grasped now and carefully cultivated, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars can confidently follow Volkswagen and Toyota.

After all, Volkswagen is the majority shareholder of Bosch, Toyota is the largest shareholder of the island country of Denso, and if Rolls-Royce Motor Cars does not rely on a world-class auto parts manufacturer, it is easy to be stuck in the neck and unable to stand up in the competition.

Now the world's first-class auto parts manufacturers, almost all of the world's major well-known car companies to occupy, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars want to get involved is already difficult, the acquisition of Magna International is undoubtedly the best and most secure choice, than their own research and development are more secure!

"Don't think about it, this company is going to buy it anyway!"

A thought flashed through Xia Yu's mind.

Both targets surprised him, so for the third acquisition target, Xia Yu had an expectation in his heart.

With anticipation, he continued to look down.

TIAutomotive！

Bondi Piping Systems Ltd!

Also called TI Automotive Systems!

The English name in front was written on the document, but after seeing it, Xia Yu's mind automatically appeared in the Chinese translation of the name.

The corners of his mouth suddenly raised.

Xia Yu knew this company very well, and he didn't need to continue to look down, the information that came to his mind was enough to make him make up his mind to acquire it.

It's really awesome for this company!

It is a global company that provides specialized small diameter piping systems and fuel delivery and storage systems to the automotive and other industries in the world.

TI Automotive Systems has been an industry leader in the production of innovative fluid storage and delivery systems and components for nearly a century in the automotive industry.

It is also the world's only supplier of fully integrated fuel storage and delivery systems for cars and trucks.

In later generations, about half of the world's 57 million vehicles per year rely on TI Automotive Systems' braking, fuel, power, transmission and air conditioning system technologies.

More than 80 percent of the world's top 100 best-selling models use TI Automotive Systems products and technologies on their platforms.

Such a company, if you see it, you will let it go, it is simply intolerable!

Xia Yu came back to his senses and continued to browse through the documents.

At this time, although TI Automotive Systems was profitable, its annual turnover was only about 100 million pounds, and its revenue was contributed by its three major groups.

The Fuel Systems Group accounts for about 35 percent of the company's sales, the Fluid Transfer Systems Group accounts for 50 percent, and the Industrial Group, which consists of Worreford, Valbo Engine Management and Bondi Refrigeration, accounts for the remaining 15 percent.

As for the net profit, it is not clear, because TI Automotive Systems is not a public company and does not disclose its financial reports.

But even if it is calculated according to the net profit of 20 million pounds, Xia Yu does not believe that 200 million pounds cannot be smashed!

Maybe you won't need 200 million pounds!

After all, it is difficult to say whether TI Automotive Systems has a net profit of 20 million!

After reading the document, Xia Yu put it down, ignoring Rudolph Brooke's expectant eyes, but closed his eyes and pondered.

These three targets are not easy to acquire.

TI Automotive Systems and Magna International Canada are both well-run companies, neither of which is yet to go public, and the best thing to do is to spend money.

But I just don't know what their appetite is!

As for Leyland Automobile Group, although it is a state-owned enterprise, Xia Yu is more confident to take it down.

After all, there is Rolls-Royce Motor Cars in front of you!

In terms of importance, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is definitely more important than Leland Motor Cars, because the former was previously owned by the British Defence Equipment Group and a subsidiary of the Rolls-Royce Group, which was involved in secret aero-engine technology.

But even if it is so important, it was still acquired by Xia Yu.

And Xia Yu was brought out of the quagmire in less than a year and became a rising star in the British automotive industry.

That's the best reason to convince!

Leyland Motors is still mired in losses, and Xia Yu can use his current results as a reason to persuade Margaret Thatcher to approve his acquisition proposal.

According to Xia Yu's calculations, if he personally comes out, or Duke Carter Howard comes forward, the probability of success is at least 80% or more!

But if Rudolph Brooke or George Berkeley intervenes, the odds are unknown!

"It looks like plans are going to change again, and we'll have to stay in the UK for a few more days. ”

Thinking of this, Xia Yu smiled and praised Rudolph Brook: "Rudolph, I have seen your plan, it is a very good plan, well done!"

"Thank you boss for the recognition!"

Rudolf Brooke smiled and thanked him, feeling that the effort he had put into making the project well worth it.

Xia Yu's eyes were like torches, staring straight at Rudolph Brooke, and said in a deep voice: "Magna International Company of Canada, you are responsible for the acquisition, I don't care about the specific process, I only have one request, do my best to acquire it, even if it costs twice the price!"

Rudolph Brooke straightened his back and nodded heavily: "Okay, I'll do my best to buy!"

Xia Yu's expression eased slightly, and he said again: "As for TI Automotive Systems and Leyland Automotive Group, I will arrange specific acquisitions. ”

"Okay!"

"In addition to the acquisition, you still need to do one thing right away, which is to expand the factory again, increase the production capacity of cars to 500,000 units a year, and then go all out to produce the two new cars that are selling well!"

And in terms of terminal sales, Rolls-Royce 4S auto stores should also increase their opening efforts and spread their sales points to the United States as soon as possible, which is the world's largest car market. ”

"Now that the relevant development plans have been made, I will speed up the progress. ”

"Hmm!"
