Chapter 500: A punch on the cotton
"Mr. Fernandez, my friend, it's great to meet you, I'm so glad you can come to Italy," Ferruccio Lamborghini hugged Chen Geng warmly, then squeezed his eyebrows at Chen Geng, and said with a smile: "I heard that you are coming to Italy, and the romantic and amorous Italian girls can't wait." β
It's just that when Ferruccio Lamborghini's eyes fell on the new, more luxurious and huge McDonnell Douglas 81 behind Chen Geng, Ferruccio Lamborghini's envious saliva was about to flow.
Ferruccio Lamborghini knows about this McDonnell Douglas 81, and many media around the world are reporting that this ultra-large private jet is almost equivalent to the Boeing 707 of the President of the United States and is converted from the McDonnell Douglas 81, a short- and medium-haul mainline aircraft, and the interior space is almost equivalent to that of the US President's Boeing 707 - in order to promote its new business, McDonnell Douglas has spent a lot of public relations money, not to mention that the plane's maiden flight is a direct flight from the United States to China.
Chen Geng was also polite: "Ha...... I'm looking forward to it too. β
........................
When he got into the car, Chen Geng was still thinking about how to open the topic, and Ferruccio Lamborghini actually took the initiative to mention Lamborghini: "Fernandez, are you here for Lamborghini?"
Chen Geng was a little surprised, but he still nodded: "Yes, the sales of Lamborghini are really bad." β
Ferruccio Lamborghini looked like this: "I knew it...... In fact, during this time, I was also thinking about a question: am I really not suitable to be a manager?
"Huh?"
Chen Geng was surprised, he felt a strong depression from Ferruccio Lamborghini, this feeling has never appeared in Ferruccio Lamborghini in the past, just like Lamborghini's sports car logo, Ferruccio Lamborghini has always been like a stubborn African male bison, no one is convinced, and now Ferruccio Lamborghini is like a bison that has been bitten by the throat of a lion, has given up.
"Don't look at me like that," Ferruccio Lamborghini smiled bitterly: "Lamborghini is like my child, since the official start of construction of the Lamborghini factory in 1963, Lamborghini has existed for 18 years, but in the past 18 years, I have given everything for Lamborghini, my tractor factory has been sold, and my collection has been sold...... I can say with a clear conscience that I gave everything I could for my children. β
β......β
Chen Geng didn't speak, he didn't understand what Ferruccio Lamborghini was doing when he suddenly said this to himself, indeed, Ferruccio Lamborghini paid hard work and energy for Lamborghini cars, and his feelings for Lamborghini cars were really as deep as a father loving his only son, so ...... Is this guy going to use this method to reject himself?
"Maybe I really don't have the talent to manage, and despite my best efforts, I still haven't been able to bring Lamborghini to the heights I want," Ferruccio Lamborghini lowered his head and let out a long sigh, "But...... It's been 18 years, and I'm really tired, and the legal age of majority in Italy is only 18,"
Speaking of this, Ferruccio Lamborghini suddenly raised his head and looked at Chen Geng: "Fernandez, as a father, I have fulfilled my responsibility, and from now on, Lamborghini will be handed over to you." β
hatοΌοΌ
Are you kidding me?!
Chen Geng thought about all possibilities, but he didn't expect Ferruccio Lamborghini to take the initiative to sell Lamborghini to himself, so that he didn't use a word of rhetoric that he had prepared.
......After a while, Chen Gengcai said to Ferruccio Lamborghini in disbelief: "Ferruccio, you're not joking with me?"
Ferruccio Lamborghini asked rhetorically, "Aren't you here for Lamborghini?"
β......β
How did Chen Geng pick it up? Could it be that he didn't come for Lamborghini?
Ferruccio Lamborghini continued: "I knew when I got your call. Fernandez, I won't lie to you, you are the only person I can rest assured of, and I believe that only you can run Lamborghini well. β
"......" was silent for a moment, and Chen Geng finally nodded: "You're right, Ferruccio, I'm really here for Lamborghini, don't worry, I guarantee that Lamborghini will definitely become the top supercar brand on the planet." β
Ferruccio Lamborghini nodded, and said: "Then I'll rest assured, in terms of price, I'm sure you won't let me suffer, right?"
Chen Geng smacked his lips, he suddenly felt that he had been fooled, where is this guy Ferruccio Lamborghini is a loving father who sends his adult son out, this is obviously his loss is really unbearable, and he plans to sell Lamborghini at a good price now!
The more he thought about it, the more Chen Geng felt that it made sense, and he couldn't laugh or cry for a while: Lao Tzu has been fighting all his life...... The goose of three lifetimes was almost pecked in the eye by the goose today!
However, Chen Geng still nodded: "Of course, we are friends, and I won't let you suffer." β
After receiving Chen Geng's affirmative promise, Ferruccio Lamborghini patted Chen Geng's shoulder excitedly: "Ha...... I knew you were a generous guy. β
At this moment, Chen Geng became more and more sure that Ferruccio Lamborghini's previous remarks were deliberate.
"Since you won't let me lose money on the price, I'll talk about my conditions," Ferruccio Lamborghini said happily, "and I ask to keep 10% of the shares and a seat on the board." β
"No problem," Chen Geng nodded and said, "Are there any other conditions?"
10% of the shares and a board seat, from this request can be seen Ferruccio Lamborghini's purpose: he does not want to leave Lamborghini, does not want Lamborghini to completely separate from himself, this share ratio will not have much impact on the company's operation and strategy, at the same time, if Lamborghini makes money in his own hands in the future, he can still get a part of the shares, no matter how bad it is, he can also cash out this part of the shares in the future.
From this point of view, the old man really thinks long-term, but it doesn't matter, looking at the relationship between the two in the past, as long as Ferruccio Lamborghini's conditions are not too much, he can agree.
Ferruccio Lamborghini really had other conditions: "If I increase my shares or even go public in the future, my shares will only be allowed to be diluted to a maximum of 2.5%, and the seats on the board of directors will be permanently retained, and in terms of publicity, Lamborghini's Italian roots must be guaranteed." β
"That's ......"
"As a friend, I also promise that as long as you are the operator of the company, I promise to always be on your side. β
"OK," Chen Geng smiled: "Deal!"
Ferruccio Lamborghini is really smart, but also, although his management of Lamborghini is not successful, but in such a short period of time, he can run Lamborghini into the world's only two supercar brands alongside Ferrari, can he Ferruccio Lamborghini have two brushes?
This is no longer a problem of having two brushes, he Ferruccio Lamborghini has at least eight or nine brushes in his hands, the only problem is that Lamborghini is fighting alone, and Ferrari, people are backed by the big tree of the Fiat Group, so it is naturally good to enjoy the shade.
Can be interpreted from another angle, Ferruccio Lamborghini can live under the suppression of the Fiat Group, and single-handedly bring Lamborghini to the current height, what else can you ask for?
"Deal!" Ferruccio Lamborghini slapped Chen Geng's hand heavily, and then squeezed his eyebrows at Chen Geng: "Fernandez, my friend, I know that you are not short of money, and if you have money, you will not lack women, but I tell you, the gentleness of Italian girls is incomparable to that of American girls." β
........................
"Did Ferruccio really decide to retreat from the rapids?" Jack Welch almost bit his tongue in surprise when he received Chen Geng's call: My ears are fine, right?
"Hmm. Chen Geng's mood was very happy, and he could fully imagine what kind of expression Jack Welch was on the other end of the phone at this moment.
β......β
Jack Welch didn't speak, the reason he didn't speak was that he suddenly didn't know what to say, and he had an extremely absurd feeling in his heart: I knew that I was going to talk to Ferruccio Lamborghini, a bastard, and I wouldn't let Chen Geng hold so many Lamborghini shares.
The main reason why he asked Chen Geng to do the persuasion work of Ferruccio Lamborghini in the first place was that he was not sure that he could persuade Ferruccio Lamborghini to buy Lamborghini's shares to himself.
But now, this stubborn cow, this stubborn donkey, this stinky and hard stone has actually turned into a bone-twisting soft, if you don't experience this thing personally, can you believe it?
Filled with the strength of the whole body, he punched heavily, originally confident that he could knock the opponent to the ground, but he didn't think about it but punched the cotton pile, not only did not cause the slightest damage to the opponent, but also pulled his arm uncomfortable, almost suffered internal injuries, this is the feeling of Jack Welch, this feeling made him uncomfortable and almost wanted to vomit blood.
Compared with Jack Welch, who was depressed and almost vomited blood, Chen Geng's feeling couldn't be better: the Italian girls are really enthusiastic!
