Volume 2 University See Dragon in the Field Chapter 96 Land Rover Jaguar

U.S. stocks have continued to fall, and many companies of U.S. imperialism are having a hard time. Ford, the overlord of the old automobile industry, is also experiencing a cold winter, and car sales as a whole are in a serious decline.

At the shareholders' meeting of Ford, some shareholders proposed to sell the two British brands Land Rover and Jaguar, which are weakly in the market competition, to return a certain amount of cash to supplement the company's cash flow.

This proposal has been supported by the majority of shareholders, but in today's economic winter environment, which car company will take over these two half-dead brands? After a fierce quarrel, the board of directors decided to sell Land Rover and Jaguar for $4 billion.

SH International Investment Company, which has been paying attention to Land Rover and Jaguar, quickly got specific information. SH International Investments has done a lot of research on the automotive industry and has come to the conclusion that the purchase price of $2.8 billion is a reasonable price point, with a maximum of $3 billion.

Hu Peichao contacted Master Li on QQ.

Beyond the Dream (Hu Peichao): Ford is going to sell Land Rover and Jaguar at a price of $4 billion.

Ning Youcheng (Li Xuanning): This is good news.

Beyond the dream: Our team's research concluded that $2.8 billion is a reasonable price point, and no more than $3 billion at most.

Rather there is a kind of: Well, then let the negotiation team start talking with Ford, and be sure to take down Land Rover and Jaguar.

Beyond the dream: Are you so optimistic about these two brands? I read the research report and found that the competitiveness of these two brands in Europe and the United States is not good!

Rather there is a kind: very optimistic, especially Land Rover, in the off-road vehicle, can compare with this brand of history, that is, JEEP and Hummer. JEEP has always been in the low-to-mid market, while Hummer is mainly used as a military vehicle. Land Rover is taking the mid-to-high-end route, in the high-end market, in fact, it is very competitive, at present it is not satisfactory, just because of the lack of sales and design concepts.

Beyond the Dream: It seems that you have a plan, what are you going to do?

Rather there is a kind of: let's talk about it when you get it, you have already thought about it, and some details will have to be discussed with professionals when the time comes.

Beyond the dream: Okay, then I urge the acquisition team to reach an agreement with Ford as soon as possible. The operation of the Dow futures contract has been completed, and the delivery of the previously short contract has been completed, and the long contract of 400,000 contracts has been completed. Profit of $12 billion.

Rather: pretty, worthy of celebration. This investment income has set a new record for our single investment profit.

Beyond the dream: At present, our cash reserves are HK 66.5 billion, US $29.4 billion, and after deducting the 10 billion US dollars that will be invested in airlines, there will be 19.4 billion left. If Land Rover and Jaguar are successfully acquired, there will be more than $16 billion left.

According to my estimates, in the next year or so, the Dow will fluctuate back and forth within a certain range. It will become our ATM. The crude oil market will also usher in gold investment opportunities.

Beyond the dream: I hope to harvest smoothly, in the next two years, we need to invest a lot of money in China. In terms of real estate, the land bank of first-, second- and third-tier cities will be significantly increased. Yitao.com and logistics have also reached the time when they need to continue to burn money. Airlines also have to grow. Your latest plan e-newsletter also requires a significant investment of money.

Ning Youhu: Well, not only these, but some overseas resources are about to be acquired, which is another huge expense.

Beyond dreams: It seems that the acquisition of Land Rover and Jaguar is just the beginning, and it will enter the fast lane of overseas acquisitions in the future!

Rather there is a kind: take it one step at a time, the future should be very exciting.

Beyond the dream: wait and see! Next, read the book, there are so many industries involved now, and some knowledge has to be supplemented.

Rather there is a kind: Okay, 886.

The moon is the hometown of Ming, and the food is also more fragrant at home. When Young Master Li was very comfortable in Nanlin, Miss Qiao's call came.

Qiao Xin: "Young Master, you are very comfortable at home, right?"

Li Xuanning: "That's, cool crooked." Sister Xin, do you want to come over and have some fun?"

Qiao Xin sighed and said, "How can I have such a free life! There is one thing you haven't forgotten, right?"

Li Xuanning: "What's the matter?"

Qiao Xin gritted her teeth a little and said, "I know that you didn't pay attention to it, and you had a lot of fun." When are you going to go to my house to see the old man?"

Young Master Li patted his thigh, he really forgot about this stubble recently, but he didn't dare to say it, and said calmly: "Of course I haven't forgotten, in late August, before school starts, how about it?"

Qiao Xin said again: "What if you have something to delay again? It's better to be a little earlier, in mid-August." ”

Young Master Li thought about it for a while, and agreed: "Okay, then it's set for August 15th." ”

A smile appeared on Qiao Xin's face, and her voice became much softer: "What you said, August 15 is August 15, if you dare to release my pigeons, my aunt and grandmother will click you with scissors." ”

Young Master Li felt a chill for a while, and hurriedly replied: "Whose pigeon I put it, I don't dare to release Sister Xin's pigeon!"

Qiao Xin smiled and said, "Well, that's pretty much it. I heard Yingtong say, Nanlin is quite fun, I knew that I would also go with you. ”

Young Master Li: "Sister Na Xin will buy a ticket now, and I will pick you up in Yuezhou." ”

Qiao Xin: "Forget it, I still have some things to deal with here, and then go back to the imperial capital a few days in advance to accompany the old man, the old man's health is not as good as a year." In the past few years, I have spent too little time with the old man. ”

Young Master Li: "That's right, by the way, Sister Xin, what should I prepare to see the old man?"

Qiao Xin: "The old man doesn't lack anything, you should think about what to say." Don't make a fool of yourself then, you will lose your aunt's face, but I can't spare you. ”

Young Master Li: "Oh, you have to think about it." Inevitably, if you can't get out of the imperial capital, you will be in trouble. ”

Qiao Xinqiao smiled and said, "It's good that you know." I heard that you are planning to make a mobile phone? The Samsung T108 is amazing enough, are you sure to win it?"

Young Master Li smiled and said, "I haven't skimmed the eight characters yet, but I have just started to investigate and study." Look, if it's suitable, just do it, and forget if it's not suitable. ”

Qiao Xin: "According to your Young Master Li's temperament, since it has been proposed, I'm afraid that nine times out of ten it is a certainty." ”

Master Li: "I'm quite optimistic about the electronic communications industry. ”

Qiao Xin: "Okay, I won't tell you, it's time for my sister to go to the gym." Hang, 88. ”

Young Master Li: "88." ”

After Li Xuanning hung up the call, he looked at the Samsung T108 mobile phone in his hand, which was good, but it could be better.

The screen can be a little bigger, the resolution must be increased by 1 or 2 grades, and the pixels must be at least 240,000 colors. MP3 function must have, front and rear cameras. The way the slide opens and closes. In these days, mobile networks are still ...... No, it seems that Japan and South Korea began to transition from 2.5G networks to 3G networks this year, and it took only 6 months to cover 3G networks nationwide.

In this way, Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States will be able to use 3G networks by the end of this year at the latest. By the way, Nokia has launched the first smartphone, the 7650, with the Symbian system. It's a slide phone, 300,000 cameras, and now is the time for it to be glorious.

There is also the Apple mobile phone of Qiao's gang in the future, the first generation of the machine was released in 2007, and the formation of the R&D team seems to be in 04 or 05. Time is ticking!

Thinking of Apple, etc., it seems that now is the trough of Apple.

Young Master Li hurriedly ran back to the study, turned on the computer, and inquired about Apple's stock price. Sure enough, it was less than $8 per share. Now the total share capital is only 309.57 million shares, and the market value is less than $2.5 billion. Don't do it now, but when.

Young Master Li immediately formulated a plan to acquire Apple's shares. First, the acquisition of Apple shares through several offshore companies. Second, try to acquire about 60 million shares of 20% of the stock at a price of less than $8 in a concealed situation, and each company holds no more than 3% of the shares. The entire acquisition is planned to use no more than $480 million in capital. The acquisition plan was sent to Hu Peichao.

After sending the message, Li Xuanning sat at his desk and pondered whether the mobile phone industry was worth entering at this time. The hundreds of millions of dollars invested now will be able to get a thousand-fold return in the future. If you take these stocks, you can reap hundreds of billions of dollars.

Well, let's wait and see for the time being, since the investigation has begun, let's continue the investigation, this department has been established, for the time being, keep it first, and pay close attention to the electronic communication market.

Create a brand and put it into production for a while.

Or put more energy into the airlines and automobile industry that are ready to fly, and then there is Yitao.com.

It's enough to be busy for a while. It is also necessary to study the upcoming overseas acquisitions. Domestic stalls should also be sorted out and checked and filled.

Young Master Li, who was in Nanlin, didn't wander around anymore. I spent a lot of time on my career, and I spent the longest time in the study every day. The exercise is still maintained, and the habit has become natural.

As for Land Rover and Jaguar, after a period of negotiations with Ford, there is a lot of progress, and there is still a gap between the reasonable purchase price of $2.8 billion. But $3 billion is no problem.

By August 10, Ford was still adamant about $3 billion and a lump sum payment. Young Master Li didn't want to drag it out any longer, and agreed to buy Land Rover and Jaguar for $3 billion.

Land Rover and Jaguar are in hand, how to build and develop these two brands, Master Li also has a preliminary plan. The R&D of these two brands is still placed overseas, and the overseas factories remain unchanged for the time being. The product design has to be adjusted to a certain extent. It is planned to build a factory in China, and the site is to be determined.
