To be honest, there was no signal on his mobile phone after entering the mountainous area, which made Han Hao a little anxious. Because he is accustomed to the non-stop ringing of his mobile phone every day, he can remotely direct the operation of the entire Zhonghua Group. After driving away from Hangbishan Road, the signal finally began to recover, and the sound of Didi kept ringing, and many text messages asking for instructions were sent one after another.

Without a mobile phone signal, he feels that the whole person is out of society, and Han Hao is really not used to this kind of life.

Now that he is finally reconnected to the information society, his anxiety has finally disappeared, and he has found a vacant lot to park his car on the side of the road and handle urgent business through mobile phone text messages.

Despite using what is claimed to be Nokia's most advanced mobile phone, Han Hao still feels that this mobile phone is too slow, and it would be great if it could be made into a small computer terminal and placed in the car, so that people like him can handle official business outside.

When he returned to Jiangzhou, he couldn't take care of the fatigue of the long journey, and Han Hao threw himself into work again. Now that the Chunghwa Group is carefully evaluating ZF's CVT business, negotiations have begun on the acquisition.

"Not sufficient!"

This is the definition given by Han Hao to the other party, ZF's CVT is the icing on the cake, and if it is not, it will not hurt the muscles and bones, so there is a large gap between the requirements of the two parties in terms of the acquisition amount.

Chunghwa Group paid $250 million for the acquisition, including production line assets in China and Europe. ZF, on the other hand, insists on 600 million US dollars, believing that its CVT core technology belongs to the high-torque solution that Zhonghua Group has not mastered, and the market price is so much.

Since the willingness to engage means that the two sides have the intention of trading, then let's talk, and it depends on who takes the initiative to make concessions.

If it weren't for the Chunghwa Group's CVT, ZF would not have agreed to contact and imposed a key technology blockade on Chinese companies, but it is an unwritten rule in Western countries.

I have you or not, and I have you and I have you, and this kind of negotiation background is completely different.

Since the China Group announced the CVT at the Capital Motor Show, ZF immediately sent people to evaluate it in detail and recognized that the Chinese have basically mastered the CVT technology.

"Now it's not that we can give as much as we say, and it's not that we give as much as they want. Since it is an international M&A, then everyone operates according to the rules, and a third-party appraisal agency evaluates their valuation. ”

As the maker of the acquisition plan, Yoon Kyung-hoon said.

The latest development was the agreement between the two parties that Bank Zurich and PricewaterhouseCoopers would act as asset appraisers to advise on the transaction.

"The Germans know very well that we can afford it, but they may not be able to afford it. Therefore, under this premise, we still have to go through some procedures to win support from the national level. ”

It is estimated that the news of ZF's intention to sell the CVT business has been leaked, and in order to avoid the situation of Chinese infighting in the Rover car incident, Yin Qingxun suggested that he first file with the Ministry of Commerce and the National Development and Reform Commission, and obtain state support to become the only Chinese acquirer.

lest the Zhonghua Group negotiate well, and its own people will fight to raise the price, so that the two sides are not people.

In this context, Han Hao, who had just returned to Jiangzhou, once again stepped on a flight to the capital.

Finally locked Han Hao's trace from the continuous entry and exit vehicles of the Zhonghua Group, but he didn't expect that a day passed, and the figure of the richest man disappeared again.

"It's really strange, I'm pretty sure the car we confirmed yesterday didn't show up, where the hell did the richest man run today. ”

This makes the kidnappers who are watching very strange, they have lost the location of their targets.

Han Hao has two footholds in Jiangzhou, one is his villa in Jiangzhou, and the other is the apartment in the headquarters.

He often spends the night in the headquarters apartment when he works overtime, and the bachelor eats enough for the whole family and is not hungry, and he has little time to return to the villa, so his whereabouts seem to be erratic.

"Why don't we wait near his villa, I don't believe he won't go back to live there!"

A young man in the car said.

"No, the target over there is too obvious, there are not many people coming and going in the villa area, and the security is very strict, the last time we were on the side of the road for three days, we were asked twice by the patrolling security guards, if we keep showing up there and not waiting for people, it will arouse suspicion. Let's still implement the original plan, and while the richest man was driving, he was tied up in a traffic accident!"

The leader of the three kidnappers who targeted Han Hao categorically rejected the accomplice's suggestion and insisted on the original plan.

"Be patient, we've all stayed up for so many days, and it's not bad for this little time. You still have to make a nest for fishing, not to mention a big fish like the richest man, we can eat it for a lifetime after we finish this ticket!"

He continued to soothe his somewhat restless accomplice.

When he came to the capital, Han Hao met with relevant government officials and explained Zhonghua Group's intention to acquire the core technology business of automobiles across borders, which was supported by many officials.

It was on this occasion that Han Hao met the new Minister of Commerce, a middle-aged man who forced Jin Yangyong to leave his homeland.

"Now our country's economy and industry are still at the end of the global division of labor, and it takes hundreds of millions of shirts to be exported in exchange for an imported passenger plane. Of course, such a situation cannot be sustained, nor will it be done for long.

Today, I am very happy that your Zhonghua Group can take the initiative to go abroad and acquire the core technology of foreign advanced automotive industry.

A car can be exchanged for at least tens of thousands of shirts, and then we will use the car to exchange for an airplane, from the low-end to the mid-to-high-end market.

When Comrade Zhiquan handed over his post, he mentioned to me your Zhonghua Group and said that he would encourage domestic private enterprises to go abroad. As the best and forerunner among them, I hold the same view, that is, to boldly try, the motherland is behind you. ”

As a political star, the new minister's eloquence is very good, and his words are quite useful to Han Hao.

Since the departure of Jin Yangyong, Brilliance Group has been getting worse, and the Brilliance GM project, which is a joint venture with GM, has also been transferred to SAIC Motor because it cannot bear the annual loss of hundreds of millions of yuan, and Brilliance Auto has interrupted the road of foreign joint ventures.

The "Five Golden Flowers" pattern planned by Jin Yangyong in the past dissipated, and Brilliance Auto became an independent independent brand in China.

Now Brilliance Automobile, maybe Jin Yangyong can come back to life, and if he continues like this, he will definitely not be able to gain a foothold in China. After experiencing the turmoil in the management after Su Xiaoqiang's resignation, Liaoyang Province sent two batches of cadres to Brilliance Group, and the ideas led by political cadres did not save the current decline.

In front of the other party, Han Hao naturally did not mention the existence of Jin Yangyong, he just thanked the leaders for their support, hoping to explore a new way for Chinese cars to go abroad.

During this trip, the state reported to the central government that Zhonghua Group was the only candidate to acquire ZF's CVT business, and other domestic companies would not be approved if they wanted to compete for the project.

This is thanks to the lesson learned by SAIC and Nanqi when they competed for Rover Automobile: no matter how fierce the internal competition is, the principle of consistency must be implemented externally, so as not to treat the Chinese as the wronged leader.

Returning to Jiangzhou again, driving three generations of "Qin" to walk on the familiar streets, Han Hao felt extremely comfortable. Suddenly, the text message kept ringing, and it was estimated that there was something urgent to deal with, so he drove the car to the side of the road and prepared to stop.

Before parking, he habitually glanced in the rearview mirror and noticed that a black and dilapidated Santana had also stopped not far away.

Although he didn't pay much attention to it, Han Hao also probably noticed the existence of such a car.

"Big brother, what should I do?

The man driving asked.

"Don't worry, there are too many people here, let's wait and get acquainted with the situation. Later, when he gets back to the company, we'll go and get the cottage in the suburbs ready. In the past two days, if we have the opportunity, we will invite the richest man to our new home!"

The kidnapper's eldest brother took a puff of cigarette and said slowly.

When dealing with official business, Han Hao looked in the rearview mirror from time to time and found that the Santana was still parked in place.

Although Han Hao is used to traveling alone, his safety vigilance is not sloppy, after all, he also knows where the great value of his body lies. Although the security situation in the country is good, the necessary vigilance must be present.

Starting the car, Han Hao turned on the left turn signal and slowly accelerated back to the driving lane.

However, his eyes kept an eye on the back, observing the movement of the Santana, and sure enough, the other party also started the car and followed.

After walking for about 2 kilometers, the other party was still within the range of the rearview mirror, Han Hao had an idea in his heart, he deliberately changed a road that he usually did not take, and found that Santana continued to follow.

Pressing on the brakes suddenly, Han Hao pulled over to the side of the road again to see how the other party responded.

Sure enough, the other party also stepped on the brakes, and the speed of the car slowed down.

"What are you doing! Don't stop, keep driving! Don't look at him later, try to pretend that nothing happens. ”

The man in charge of driving also wanted to continue to follow and park on the side of the road, but was stopped by the leading brother and told him to continue driving.

Locked the car door tightly, kept his feet on the accelerator, and although he pretended to be looking at his phone, Han Hao had already prepared for the worst.

I saw Santana slowly driving past his "Qin", and there were three big men sitting on it, although they didn't look over, Han Hao could still feel that someone was peeking at him.

"Big brother, it's okay, that fat sheep is looking at his phone! I guess he might be chatting with which Xiaomi!"

Not long after leaving, the big man sitting in the passenger seat said.

"It's okay, let's turn to the front, wait near his company headquarters, and let him get away for another two days." ”

After a period of time of squatting, the kidnappers still had a general understanding of Han Hao's movements, so they were ready to start moving.

Seeing the old Santana go away, Han Hao also drove the car back to the main road, but the scene that happened just now alerted him.

Calling the police on the basis of this little movement alone seems to be a big fuss, in case someone is passing by by accidentally, or if it is a so-called gossip reporter, it will be troublesome.

Soon, Han Hao had a proper idea.

Two days later, he was still driving the "Qin" to work, and shortly after driving out of the villa, he found the old Santana on the road again. However, the license plate seemed to have changed, but Han Hao judged that it was the car that was tracking him.

"When we arrived at the intersection we set yesterday, we drove into it, causing a rear-end accident. There are no cameras, there are few pedestrians and vehicles, and he drives past it every day.

As soon as he stops and checks, I'll force him to sit in the back seat at gunpoint, and then you'll be the driver and drive the richest man's car, and we'll go out of town together. ”

Closer to the action, the leader of the kidnappers confirmed the situation with the other two men again.

"Let's just seek money and don't want to die, if the richest man knows each other, everyone will say goodbye. If he doesn't know how to lift, we won't be soft on him directly, and I hope he won't be scared like the owner of this car. ”

Thinking that there would be a large amount of money to buy soon, the three kidnappers couldn't help but be highly excited, and kept staring at the "Qin" that Han Hao was driving.

"Bang-"

Unexpectedly, just after the first intersection, a van that was robbed of a red light at the intersection crashed from the right side due to untimely braking, and the headlights of the old Santana shattered to the ground.

"You X, you don't have long eyes and don't look at the road!"

After being hit, the other party got out of the car first and scolded through the glass.

The original plan was suddenly interrupted by a sudden car accident, which made the three kidnappers a little overwhelmed.

"I got out of the car and negotiated privately, and I had to leave before the traffic police arrived. “

The stolen Santana license plate was wrong, and the traffic police would have to show their stuff once they came, so the kidnapper boss gave an order.

I don't know why there are a lot of vehicles today, the robber boss just got out of the car, and there were two other collisions due to the vehicles rushing to each other, and the drivers of both sides came down to argue theoretically, and soon blocked the intersection tightly.

"Public or private, if you are public, call 110 to call the police, and if you are private, you will pay me 500 yuan!"

Seeing the bald man, the flat-headed driver who crashed was not afraid and came up directly to demonstrate.

If it weren't for the fact that there were still big things to do, the robber boss would have been unable to hold back the idea of smashing the other party.

"Brother, next time you drive for a snack, forget it this time, we still have something to do. Five hundred dollars is not, it is given to you. ”

Taking out five hundred-yuan bills from the satchel he was carrying, the bald man thought about ending the matter.

"Smack-"

Suddenly, the trunk of the old Santana was opened, revealing the contents of the house: handcuffs, ropes to tie people, binoculars, machetes, shovels, etc.

"They're robbers!"

When the bald man looked back to see what was happening, a loud shout suddenly sounded, and it seemed that the matter was revealed.

He was just about to take out a pistol from his satchel when he suddenly noticed a cold on his arm, and the satchel was snatched away by the flat-headed driver who had just crashed into the car.

"Let's get on them, grab them and take them to the police station!"

Before the bald man could react, he was knocked down by two strong men who jumped out of the van and the flat-headed driver in front of him. As he fell to the ground, he saw people jumping out of the van that had just crashed and running towards him. The bald man who resisted forcefully to no avail and was pressed to the ground at this time, the only thought in his mind was how could this van fit so many people.

The two people who saw the situation in Santanari tried to increase the throttle and escape, but found that they were unable to move by the front and rear vehicles. Immediately afterwards, a choking spray sprayed into the car, causing the two kidnappers in the car to cry and cough non-stop, losing the ability to resist. Soon they were also dragged out of the car and firmly controlled.

Everything that happened was clearly recorded by two cameras not far away, and it took no more than 10 minutes from the beginning of the car accident to the time when the three people were controlled.

"Obediently, the other party actually brought a fire squirt!"

At this time, the flat-headed driver who was rummaging through the satchel found a well-loaded pistol from inside, and he couldn't help but feel a little afraid.

Since he can't call the police, Han Hao still has many people available, and all the people on the scene today are security personnel of Zhonghua Group, many of them are veterans, and they have formulated this thrilling porcelain encounter plan. If the kidnappers were allowed to shoot, there was a high risk of heavy casualties.

After finding out that he was being followed the day before yesterday, Han Hao went back to find someone to make today's porcelain touching plan, and took the initiative to explore the other party's true identity. From the moment the kidnappers accepted the conditions of the car accident, it confirmed the suspiciousness of their identity. While the other party didn't care, the arranged person opened the Santana tail box and found the evidence, and everyone began to act.

Soon, the police arrived at the scene and took over the management of the situation. The Chung Hwa Group also handed over the video evidence to the police, proving the identities of the three kidnappers.

Later, Han Hao, who learned the truth, couldn't help but feel afraid of himself, if he didn't find the other party in time, once he was kidnapped by them, the consequences would be unimaginable. From the preliminary investigation by the police, it has been found that the hands of the three kidnappers were stained with blood, and they will not necessarily spare their lives.
