The next morning:

Xu Zhi rubbed his eyes and woke up, looked at the beauty next to him who had woken up, and said with a smile: "I learned the dance steps well last night!"

Xiao Qing said: "It's not bad, do you still want to go out to play today?"

"What's the fun of going out?" said Xu Zhi with a smile.

Xiao Qing opened a pair of hands that were moving around and said, "You better do your business." ”

"What? Don't you have any questions at all?" Xu Zhishou didn't stop and asked casually.

"There should be naturally, isn't it?" Xiao Qing saw that she couldn't stop Xu Zhi, and said helplessly.

Xu Zhi asked, "How long do you have to graduate?"

Xiao Qing said: "I will graduate next year, but I should be able to go to work at the beginning of the year." ”

Xu Zhidao: "That's good, you can come to Xiangjiang, I have a lot of companies, and there is a place for you to play your value." ”

"Are you just going to work in Xiangjiang?" asked Xiao Qing seemingly casually.

"You can be the boss when you don't go to work. Xu Zhi said: "Let's talk about boring things later, do something interesting first......"

"Don't make a fuss, I was tired yesterday......"

"There are only tired oxen in this world, and there is no ...... that ploughs the fields."

……

……

……

Zhang Zhongmou's resignation naturally does not need Xu Zhi to worry about the details, even though Deyi knows everything, but the current semiconductor industry is completely a buyer's market, and it is impossible to say anything in the face of large customers, not to mention high-level infighting, many people wish that Zhang Zhongmou would leave as soon as possible.

During his visit to Dallas, Xu Zhi bought a medium-sized ranch of about 200 acres with more than 1,000 cows, but Xu Zhi mainly liked the good environment here, with mountains and rivers, and it was a place where he could occasionally relax and relax. Now that global agriculture is at a low point, if it weren't for the low return on investment, he would have wanted to buy a lot of land.

After leaving Dallas, Xu Zhi immediately flew to Allen, Pennsylvania, where the headquarters of the famous American truck company Mark Trucks is located.

Faced with the possibility of tens of millions of dollars in intermediary commissions, Goldman Sachs was extremely efficient, and the day after Xu Zhi proposed the acquisition, it conveniently contacted the management of Mack Trucks to discuss the acquisition.

The Mark truck was born in 1900, its famous symbol is the golden bulldog statue at the front end of the truck, as early as 1916 Mark Company launched the famous AC truck during World War I, the United States and British troops ordered more than 6,500 units, with the characteristics of durability and strong performance, welcomed by the Allied forces.

After decades of development, the company is one of the top 10 heavy-duty truck sponsors in the United States, in Allen Town, has a large truck assembly workshop and engine, transmission assembly workshop, in 1979, the company's truck sales exceeded 12,000 units!

General Manager Jim Layton was also quite surprised by the sudden acquisition, although there are not many mergers and acquisitions between the truck industry, but they do happen several times a year, but it is the first time that it is purely capital, and it is foreign capital.

"Mr. Xu, welcome to Mack Truck!" Jim Layton greeted him with a smile at the door of the company.

Xu Zhi shook hands and smiled, "Hello, Mr. Leighton." ”

The two of them soon entered the interior of the office building, and in the front desk, a half-human-tall statue of a bulldog bared its teeth and grinned, and the golden metal material around it looked extremely domineering.

After visiting the assembly line of the mark truck, Xu Zhi and Jim came to the president's office and discussed individually.

Although Jim is an authentic American, he is very fond of tea ceremony, and after tossing for a while, Jim handed over a cup of tea and asked, "Mr. Xu, I'm curious, why did you want to buy Mark Company?"

Xu Zhi replied: "If I say that I am more optimistic about the development of the truck industry, Mr. Leighton should not believe it, right?"

Jim replied: "I really don't believe it, in the past few years, the oil crisis has broken out continuously, oil prices have skyrocketed, the economy has declined, the entire heavy truck transportation industry has been hit, of course, our kind of truck manufacturing companies are also affected, coupled with the US government is now more and more demanding on the environmental parameters of the engine, I don't think the truck industry will recover in a few years." ”

"That's right. Xu Zhi said with a smile: "But then again, that is, it is only a few years, and the economy will definitely recover in the future, and the sales of mack trucks will naturally increase at that time." ”

Jim asked, "Then what is the purpose of Mr. Xu's acquisition, and will he resell it at a high price in a few years?"

"Of course not, I bought Mark to make the company bigger and better. Xu Zhi said: "Mr. Leighton just said that the U.S. market will be difficult to recover within a few years, but it is completely different outside the United States.

Mark from the beginning of its establishment, the main market is the United States, Europe because of the law and policy is not suitable for the United States heavy truck sales, but now Asia is an undeveloped land, especially China, the current reform and opening up, and the development of the economy will inevitably need a large number of trucks, which is also the main reason why I fancy Mark trucks. ”

"Huaguo market?" Jean said, "This matter has actually been discussed within our company, but I heard that some time ago, General Motors and the Chinese government were negotiating cooperation to build a factory, but there were many problems, and recently the board of directors of General Motors has rejected this plan." ”

"That's just an idiot from General Motors. Xu Zhi smiled: "This is a once-in-a-century opportunity, but it was actually denied." ”

Later generations know that Volkswagen is the first joint venture car to enter the domestic market, but as early as 1979, the first to negotiate cooperation with domestic high-level is actually General Motors, and later the famous joint venture policy was also proposed by General Motors, at that time the negotiations were very smooth, GM's negotiation team has basically reached an agreement in the central government, but the board of directors rejected the cooperation plan, which is estimated to be the biggest mistake of the American company.

Jean asked, "Mr. Xu, if you buy Mark Company, are you also going to build a factory in China?"

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "With this meaning, Mark's most famous product now is heavy trucks, but he also has his own technology accumulation in ordinary trucks, which is not suitable for the United States now, but it is very suitable for China and other Asian countries."

I intend to build a truck factory in China to develop the local market, and if I can, I will also invest in the field of agricultural vehicles and other models, of course, the American market will not give up, I know that Mark has been short of money in recent years, if I can successfully acquire, I can invest another 50 million US dollars in new technology research and development, and there will be no layoffs in management and employees. ”

The most troublesome thing about acquiring an American company is whether it will involve layoffs, and if it is an automobile company, it is more important whether its union is UAW, if so, even if Xu Zhi does not plan to lay off employees, he will not touch this kind of company, but fortunately, Mack Truck has its own union and has nothing to do with UAW.

Jim thought for a while and nodded: "If that's the case, there's nothing wrong with me, but I still need to convince other management, and as for the shareholders, this needs to be operated by Mr. Xu." ”

Xu Zhi smiled: "No problem, then I hope we can work together as soon as possible to make Mark's brand go to all markets in the world!"
