Chapter 0598 Variables
Williams said this, which is equivalent to giving Zhou Jingming a reassurance, as long as the shareholders' meeting of the Wix Group is officially voted on, then Tianming Automobile Company's acquisition of Rolls-Royce Motor Company this time will be regarded as an end.
"I believe that Mr. Williams and the Weeks Group have made the right choice, and we at Tianming want to be able to contribute to the resurgence of the Rolls-Royce brand. Zhou Jingming hurriedly replied with a smile.
"Now that our two companies have reached an agreement on the acquisition, can we discuss the specific details of the acquisition, such as the specific closing date, and the production arrangements of Rolls-Royce during the transition period. Williams smiled and looked at Zhou Jingming to continue.
"Absolutely. Zhou Jingming nodded with a smile.
In the following time, Zhou Jingming and Williams had a detailed discussion on the specific details of the acquisition of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, but it involved a lot of issues related to finance and law, and Zhou Jingming and Williams did not understand very well, so the content of these aspects was communicated and negotiated by the professionals of the two companies.
Compared with the last meeting, the atmosphere of this meeting is more cheerful and relaxed, the specific acquisition amount has been determined, and the two sides do not have any more parts to bargain, so Zhou Jingming quickly reached an agreement with Williams on the specific details of the acquisition of Rolls-Royce, and preliminarily determined the specific property delivery date and other relevant details.
"Mr. Zhou, our Wix Group will hold an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders in five days to discuss the acquisition of Rolls-Royce by your Tianming Automobile Company, so the specific results will not be notified to you until five days later, during this time, please wait patiently. After discussing the details, Williams said with a smile.
"Then I'll wait for Mr. Williams' good news. Zhou Jingming smiled and nodded in response.
After the end of this meeting, Zhou Jingming and others once again attended the luncheon prepared by Williams for their group, and it was not until about two o'clock in the afternoon that Zhou Jingming and Ma Xudong and others returned to the hotel where they lived.
"Lao Ma, I've worked hard for you this time, and after the general meeting of shareholders of the Wix Group makes a resolution, this matter will basically come to an end, and I will definitely reward you well at that time." After returning to the hotel, the two of them walked to their respective rooms, Zhou Jingming said.
After more than a month, the acquisition of Rolls-Royce was finally completed, and Zhou Jingming also felt very happy, and even his tone of voice became relaxed and happy.
"Mr. Zhou, I always feel that this acquisition is a little too smooth, and I have always felt very uneasy in my heart. Compared with Zhou Jingming, who had a relaxed face, Ma Xudong looked a little worried, with an obvious sadness on his face.
As soon as Ma Xudong said this, the expression on Zhou Jingming's face was also stagnant, it seemed that what Ma Xudong said was not wrong at all, except for the first time when the two sides met, Williams raised many protests on the purchase price, and the second meeting, the two sides directly reached a cooperation agreement.
It only took two talks, and Tianming Automobile Company even used only one offer to successfully impress the Wickers Group, and during this period, potential competitors such as Baomai Automobile Company and Volkswagen Company did not move at all, which is indeed a bit strange to say.
"In a few days, the Wix Group will hold a shareholders' meeting, as long as the shareholders' meeting votes, we will be able to sign a formal cooperation agreement, and after the cooperation agreement is signed, everything will be over. Zhou Jingming smiled and said with relief.
"What Mr. Zhou said is the same, I should think too much. Ma Xudong also smiled and forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart.
After returning to the room, the more Zhou Jingming thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, just like Ma Xudong said, this time the acquisition of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars seems to be too smooth, right?
In addition to a lot of preparatory work in the early stage, Zhou Jingming didn't bother to think about the actual negotiation stage, Williams and others of Wicks Group didn't even ask themselves much about their future development plan for Rolls-Royce, and directly traded at a price of 500 million US dollars, which was a bit different from Zhou Jingming's initial expectations.
"I hope I'm overthinking. Zhou Jingming stood in front of the window and said softly to himself.
The extraordinary shareholders' meeting of the Weeks Group will not be officially convened until five days later, and now that a preliminary agreement has been reached with Zhou Jingming, Williams is also making final preparations for the next shareholders' meeting and the delivery of Rolls-Royce's property.
The day after the agreement was reached, Williams took Zhou Jingming and his party to the headquarters of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars in Goodwood, preparing to let Zhou Jingming have a good tour of the factory here, and by the way, let Zhou Jingming know how many specific assets of Rolls-Royce are.
The chairman of the current parent company came to the company with the head of the future parent company, and Rooney, as the chairman of Rolls-Royce, naturally wanted to accompany them on the tour, and along with Rooney, Van Persie naturally accompanied the visit.
This is also the first time that Rooney and Van Persie have seen Zhou Jingming himself, to be honest, for Zhou Jingming, Rooney himself is very appreciative, especially after this meeting, I feel that Zhou Jingming talks extraordinary, and the words reveal a kind of young self-confidence and ambition, seeing Zhou Jingming, Rooney is like seeing himself when he was young.
But no matter how much he admires Zhou Jingming, Rooney always believes that Tianming Automobile Company is not the final destination of Rolls-Royce, because if the problems he raised in the board of directors are not solved for a day, the mustard in his heart will not be eliminated for a day.
A group of people under the leadership of Rooney, the main workshop of Rolls-Royce has a visit, compared with the rest of the workshops with a high level of automation, the production workshop of Rolls-Royce is very traditional, in addition to the necessary mechanical tools, almost all rely on hand-made, which is more prominent in the production of Rolls-Royce cars, in comparison, Bentley cars rely on hand-made processes are a little less, which is why the brand Bentley has not been as good as Rolls-Royce one of the reasons.
"Mr. Zhou, since Rolls-Royce will become your industry in the future, can you ask if you have any development plans for our company? With all due respect, I don't think you can lead Rolls-Royce to rebuild its glory. Rooney said abruptly after coming out of a workshop.
"Mr. Rooney, please pay attention to the wording of your words, Mr. Zhou has a complete plan for the future of Rolls-Royce, if you want to know, I will have someone give it to you in a moment. Hearing this, Williams couldn't help frowning.
He can't want to make a mess at this juncture.
"Mr. Rooney, it's useless to talk too much, I hope to prove to you with practical actions in the future that it is absolutely not wrong to choose our Tianming Automobile Company!" Zhou Jingming replied with a smile, but he was surprised in his mind that it turned out that the Weeks Group did not unanimously want to sell Rolls-Royce to Tianming Automobile Company!
In particular, it is the people within Rolls-Royce who oppose the acquisition, which is likely to be a variable in this acquisition.
