Chapter 573: A joint venture with yourself
Germany, Stuttgart, Cel Maschinenbau.
It's a small company with less than two hundred employees.
Because of the company's poor management, it had to lay off employees half a year ago and laid off 80 employees.
It was originally planned to raise 10 million marks to improve the company's business and continue the EPB project.
However, the financing failed, and the company's business has come to a standstill and is facing bankruptcy liquidation.
Cair is a small company that has been around for more than sixty years. It turned out to be the production of engines for small ships.
Then the owner of the company, Mr. Cel Sr., decided to develop a shield machine. To this end, the elder Chell devoted all his energy and a lot of money.
Although his efforts were unsuccessful, they cannot be said to be fruitless. The basic design of the EPB has been completed and the prototype has been made.
Just as it was about to be put into production, Mr. Chelle Sr. died of a heart attack, and his son Chel Jr. inherited the company.
The Cel company is a family company, and there are many companies like this in Germany.
They are small in size, but they have a long history. Many companies have only focused on one or two products for many years.
There are downsides to a narrow product line, but there are also benefits.
The advantage is that you can be proficient in one or two products and strive to do the best.
Therefore, such a company can often accumulate unique technology in a certain product. This technique has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has become a unique skill.
This is the case with the shield machines of the Schell company.
Although it has not been put into production, the accumulation of technology has been completed.
If you have enough money and a manager who is committed to pioneering and enterprising, you can launch the product and go to market.
It's a pity that the Chelse company doesn't have either of these things.
In terms of funding, the financing failed, and there was no money to invest in the production of shield machines.
Mr. Chell Jr. is a lawyer, and he is doing well in his career, and he does not want to give up his career as a lawyer.
He didn't have the slightest interest in running the Chelse company and producing some damn shield machine. They are even more reluctant to waste their time and energy on the Chel company.
For this time, he would rather go to play football or go to the beaches around the world to bask in the sun and get a tan of his skin, or go skiing in a ski resort.
So, he decided to dispose of the company and get rid of this burden.
There are two ways to deal with it, one is to sell, and the other is bankruptcy liquidation.
It's been more than two months and no one has bought it. So Chell filed for bankruptcy liquidation with the court.
However, the court had not yet accepted his application and bankruptcy proceedings had not commenced.
That's when a yellow-skinned employee who works for the company asks him that he can find someone to buy the company.
This person is Gao Erlin from Huaxia.
"Gao, why haven't the buyers you said have arrived? Will they miss their appointment? If they don't arrive on time, I won't wait. ”
Cair paced back and forth in his office with his coffee.
"Mr. Cair, they said it would be nine o'clock, and they would be on time. Ten minutes to go, and I think they're on their way. ”
Gao Erlin said.
Gao Erlin was sent out by Li Hucheng, and first worked as a trainee at the Kemars Automobile Consortium in Ross.
Later, the Kemas Automobile Consortium was not in good business and could not start work normally, let alone provide him with a stable salary.
Even Klamas's own employees are unemployed, and he, as a trainee, is naturally even more insecure.
Although Li Hucheng could give him money here, Erlin didn't want to wait to spend Li Hucheng's money, but also to learn more knowledge, so he went to Germany and worked here as a black worker.
There is a shortage of labor here, and Erlin has a technical foundation, so he pressed to the Chel company.
The elder Chel was still there at that time, and he learned a lot here.
More importantly, he is optimistic about the future of the EPBM.
Just when Chel wanted to dispose of the company, he remembered the idea of asking Li Hucheng to buy the Chel company.
This is a good opportunity, whether Li Hucheng will agree or not, he doesn't know, but he feels it's worth a try.
Unexpectedly, Li Hucheng agreed. And said that he was traveling around the world to get married, and he was here soon.
Sure enough, yesterday Li Hucheng, Yu Danning, and He Can rushed to Stuttgart and made an appointment to negotiate with Chel today.
At 8:55, a car came, and Li Hucheng, Yu Danning, and He Can got out of the car.
Gao Erlin and Chel greeted them out, exchanged a few words, and then went into the house to negotiate.
The negotiation process was simple and ended in less than twenty minutes.
For 8 million marks, Cair sold the entire Cair Company to the Hong Kong Island Tiger City Trading Company.
It includes all intellectual property rights and 27 patented technologies of the Cel company's land, plant, machinery and equipment, technology, engines and shield machines.
At this time, the exchange rate between the RMB and the mark was about 1:4, which meant that Li Hucheng spent 32 million yuan to buy the Chel company as a whole.
"Mr. Li, everything here belongs to you. Tomorrow you go to my law firm, sign the transfer documents and make the payment. This is my bank account. By the way, there is also a lawyer's fee, don't forget. ”
"I'm going to watch a football game, goodbye. ”
"Goodbye, hopefully your team wins. ”
"It's going to win. Also, your business is very cost-effective and will definitely make money. ”
Chel drove away, and Gao Erlin took Li Hucheng and a few people around the factory.
"We have a factory in Germany? ”
Yu Danning couldn't believe the facts in front of him.
"Mr. Yu, the contract has been signed, so can there be any fake? Tomorrow we sign the transfer documents and pay the money, and this place will completely belong to us." ”
"Hucheng, what are you going to do in the future, who will manage this place, and will you still produce here?"
He Can asked.
"Isn't this a ready-made person, Erlin will be the manager of the Chel company from now on. Bringing back the technical personnel, there is no need to produce here for the time being, only as a technology research and development center and parts supply base. ”
"Dong Li, I can't be a manager. ”
Gao Erlin never expected that Li Hucheng would hand over such an important position to himself.
"What's not to do? You don't have any experience now, so you can hire the old manager and help you manage it." ”
"What do you do next?"
Yu Danning asked.
"The next step is to cooperate with Chel and Hucheng Group to establish Chel Shield Machine Co., Ltd. in Guanshan, which will produce shield machines in the future. ”
"The Tiger City Group is yours, and the Chel Company is also yours, so isn't it a joint venture between you and yourself?"
Yu Danning saw the doorway, and this fact made people a little laughable.
"Alas, this is also a helpless thing, if you don't go around such a circle, the officials here will not allow the export of technology. ”
"Erlin, you did a good job. Let's do a good job here first and get the shield machine thorough. Next year, a factory will be built in Sifangdi, Guanshan, and a shield machine production line will be built. ”
"The funds you need here, Sister Can will remit them to you after a while. Also, you can contact the hospital and take your mother over for treatment. The cost will be borne by the company. ”
Gao Erlin's heart was warm.
Li Dong ....... ”
"You don't need to thank you, you have already made a great contribution by buying Chel. In the future, you will be the hero of the construction of the shield machine. Do a good job, and I'm sure that day won't be long before it comes. ”
"Well, I'll live up to your expectations. ”
