Chapter 351 Targeted acquisition of AMC

"......" looked at Professor Kevin Lynch with a solemn expression on his face, Chen Geng was a little strange.

"That's right," Professor Kevin Lynch's expression was very solemn and serious, "Mr. Fernandez, I think these ideas of yours are instructive for the future development direction of architecture, I am going to put your ideas and ideas into a paper, and we will co-sign them together, what do you think?"

At this moment, the old professor no longer regards Chen Geng as a junior who is familiar with architecture, but as a partner with a cross-field strategic vision.

Partners?

Yes, it is a partner, Professor Kevin Lynch is not just a simple educator, he is not only the associate dean of the MIT School of Architecture, the founder of the Department of Urban Planning of the MIT School of Architecture, the world's top expert in urban planning theory, but also a well-known architectural design firm in the United States, and his student, Mr. Harry Hanke, the current head of the planning department of the MIT School of Architecture, is even his business partner.

Well, what that means is that in addition to being a world-renowned architect, architect, and architectural theorist, he is also a very, very successful businessman.

Master Wu Liangyong looked at Chen Geng in shock, and Professor Kevin Lynch's words frightened him: As the world's top architect, Professor Lynch actually wanted to use Chen Geng's ideas to write a paper, and the two sides signed it together......

Since Professor Kevin Lynch, as the world's top architectural design master and urban planning expert, Professor Kevin Lynch is not crazy, then the only explanation is that in Professor Kevin Lynch's view, Chen Geng's reverie and assumptions about the future are really very, very important for architectural design and the development of the construction industry.

"Wu, don't be so surprised," Master Wu Liangyong's surprise naturally fell into the eyes of Professor Kevin Lynch, Professor Lynch nodded slightly, and made a positive response to the meaning that Master Wu Liangyong did not say, but both of them understood in their hearts: "To make a more exaggerated description, in my opinion, the importance of Mr. Fernandez's words is equivalent to the energy formula and the atomic bomb, which has the significance of theoretical guidance. ”

“......”

Master Wu Liangyong was shocked and speechless!

How important is the energy formula? Without the energy formula, there would be no atomic bombs, no hydrogen bombs, no nuclear submarines, no nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, no nuclear power plants...... It can be said that the emergence of the energy formula directly changed the development model of the entire earth after World War II.

Although I know that this metaphor is actually an extremely exaggerated statement of Professor Kevin Lynch's recognition of Chen Geng, being able to compare Chen Geng's words with the energy formula itself shows the degree of Professor Kevin Lynch's recognition of Chen Geng.

Chen Geng was terrified: this praise was too high.

He stood up and was about to say something when Professor Kevin Lynch smiled and winked at Chen Geng: "Fernandez, you don't really think that I mean your words can be compared to the energy formula, do you?"

“......”

What Chen Geng wanted to say was instantly held back: Yes, Professor Kevin Lynch was just joking with himself, if he was serious, it would seem that he didn't know how to be thick.

However, Chen Geng knew more about Professor Kevin Lynch's kindness, took a deep breath, and Chen Gengzhen solemnly said to Professor Lynch: "Professor, thank you. ”

That's an agreement.

Although the old professor was 62 years old, he could get the answer he wanted, but he still smiled, waved his hand and urged Chen Geng to hurry down......

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

When Chen Geng was chatting happily with Professor Kevin Lynch and Master Wu Liangyong, Millen received a call from Aniston.

She didn't dare to slack off!

Although the boss had said that there was nothing important to disturb his conversation with Professor Kevin Lynch and Professor Wu Liangyong, it was clear that this incident was the exception: "Boss, Miss Aniston just called and said that there was news from AMC. ”

Professor Kevin Lynch and Master Wu Liangyong, who were still a little dissatisfied with Mirren's interjection, immediately closed their mouths tightly: although they don't know what the hell is, since it is related to the fourth largest automobile manufacturer in the United States, it is not for them to talk nonsense.

"What did Miss Aniston say?" Hearing that there was news from AMC, Chen Geng's spirit suddenly lifted.

Miss Aniston said that AMC has now agreed to our terms in full, and hopes to be able to sign a contract with you as soon as possible. Mirren said.

Frankly speaking, when she received a call from Aniston, she couldn't believe it: AMC has bowed its head?

Before, not even in her dreams, this had happened.

Chen Geng jumped up: "Really?!The AMC board of directors really agreed?"

Mirren nodded heavily: "They agreed...... Miss Aniston said that AMC should not be able to hold on......"

Can't hold it anymore?

Also, in AMC's current situation, they have indeed reached the point where they can't hold on.

The conversation with Professor Kevin Lynch and Master Wu Liangyong is very important, but it is even more important to quickly find a way to finalize the acquisition of AMC Company, Chen Geng also didn't care about the topic of the smart building just now, and hurriedly said goodbye to Professor Kevin Lynch and Master Wu Liangyong: "Professor Lynch, AMC Company has agreed to our acquisition conditions, I must rush back to Detroit as soon as possible; Master Wu, I may not be able to go back to Huaxia with you this time, but don't worry, I will help you arrange everything......"

"Fernandez, are you really going to buy AMC?" Professor Kevin Lynch interrupted Chen Geng's words, his tone was eager, and there was a depth of wonder and shock.

Also, in the eyes of any American who knows AMC, the acquisition of AMC is an incredible thing, even if the current AMC seems to be in turmoil, let alone by the little guy in front of him who looks about the same age as the student he leads: does he really have the qualifications to buy AMC, the pride of Americans?

Although Master Wu Liangyong didn't speak, he also looked at Chen Geng with an eager face, waiting for his answer: he really couldn't imagine how Chen Geng could acquire such a powerful world-class automobile manufacturing enterprise as AMC...... An AMC, their annual production capacity is more than the combined production capacity of all domestic automobile manufacturers, right?

"Yes. Chen Geng nodded, he didn't hide anything, there was nothing to hide.

“......”

Chen Geng agreed so happily that Professor Kevin Lynch and Professor Wu Liangyong didn't know what to say: everyone admitted it, what else could they say?!

Ask him how he has the money to buy AMC?

There is no point in saying that.

In short, despite his curiosity and questions, Professor Kevin Lynch waved his hand without hesitation: "Then you can go quickly, let's talk another day." ”

————————————

After receiving Chen Geng's call, Rosemary immediately put down her work and rushed back to the United States.

Based on the importance of the acquisition of AMC, Chen Geng must rush back to Detroit, but rushing back to Detroit does not mean that Chen Geng, the boss, will personally come forward, and the person in charge of negotiating with AMC is still Rosemary.

Although in a hurry, Chen Geng, who personally went to the airport to pick up Rosemary, found that Rosemary was in good spirits, and when Chen Geng asked if he wanted to rest for two days, Rosemary said with a smile: "No, as long as I think that AMC is very likely to become a holding subsidiary of Fernandez Company, I am very excited now." ”

Seeing that Rosemary's spirit is indeed very good, Chen Geng finally nodded, since Rosemary is not sleepy for the time being, let's communicate on some key issues in the negotiation......

"In order to strive for better conditions, I think we should start with the placement of the current team of professional managers. Rosemary was the first to speak her mind.

Chen Geng immediately understood what Rosemary meant, why did he choose to first discuss the issue of the departure and retention of AMC's management and operation team with AMC's negotiation team instead of other issues?

If they just walk away, it will be difficult to find a good job with a high salary in the future, because they will be labeled as "incompetent" and "failure", and those headhunters and employers may not even give them the opportunity to meet after seeing that they have worked in AMC.

But if Fernandez made it clear at the beginning that they might adjust their positions, but most of them would stay, the situation would be different, even if it was to get themselves the best possible position in the AMC of the Fernandez era and gain a good impression in front of their bosses, these people would unconsciously take the initiative to lower some conditions.

He immediately nodded: "As long as their ability is okay, it's not impossible to stay, but are you sure that the management and operations team led by Tim Sloan of AMC is staying?"

"Most of them can stay," Rosemary nodded: "I've observed the current management and operation team of AMC, although they are not pioneering, but their ability is actually quite good, but they are trapped by those damn shareholders and workers, and some of them can't be used...... No matter how capable they are, if the boss doesn't agree, what can they do?"

Also!

Chen Geng agreed with Rosemary's statement, and the professional managers proposed a solution, the boss was afraid that the workers would strike, march, and demonstrate, and said no, what could the professional managers do?

"That's what I thought," Rosemary agreed, with her boss, "what about the treatment?"
