After Rodriguez came out of Rolls-Royce, it was already more than six o'clock in the afternoon local time, and at this time, the news about Tianming Automobile Company's second 1.1 billion mark offer to acquire Rolls-Royce was still spreading around the world.

After driving to the hotel where he was staying, Rodriguez could see all kinds of newspapers scattered on the ground everywhere along the road.

"Socialism's counterattack: Tianming Automobile Company raises the price by 100 million marks to buy Rolls-Royce!"

"Reversal after reversal, who will Rolls-Royce end up with?"

"Where is BMW's next counterattack?"

…………

Looking at these reports with different titles and contents, Rodriguez was also helpless, in order to acquire Rolls-Royce, he did a lot of investigation work in the early stage, but now he has to give up this acquisition because of the competition of Tianming Automobile Company, and he is very unwilling.

"This Tianming Automobile Company is really the nemesis of our European and American automobile manufacturers!" Rodriguez suddenly remembered that during this period of time, because of the popularity of Yixuan SUV, such a remark circulated in the European and American automobile markets, and many people believed that Tianming Automobile Company was the "ghost of communism" described by Marx in the "Communist Manifesto", and called on all European and American automobile manufacturers to unite and jointly curb the development of Tianming Automobile Company.

At the time, Rodriguez thought it was funny, but now that I think about it, it really makes sense!

Volkswagen, which is in Germany with BMW, naturally received the news of Tianming's second offer, and Piëch, who has been paying close attention to the direction of this matter in the past two days, gave such an instruction after some careful thinking, "Continue to wait and see, and wait for BMW's next move." ”

If BMW no longer participates in the competition, then Volkswagen, which has been dormant for so long, will surface and directly defeat Tianming in one fell swoop with an offer of more than 1.1 billion marks, becoming the final winner of this matter.

At this moment, Zhou Jingming, who returned to the hotel after the press conference, was talking on the phone with He Yingqing in China, and he originally said that he could go back in a week, but now almost ten days have passed, but there is still no substantial progress in the acquisition of Rolls-Royce, and Zhou Jingming also feels very helpless.

"Then how long are you going to stay in the UK?" asked He Yingqing on the other end of the phone softly.

"I don't know the specifics, but it depends on the direction of this development. Zhou Jingming replied with a wry smile, he was most worried that tomorrow, BMW would further increase the offer, if this was the case, then he would really be stuck in the quagmire.

"Then you take good care of yourself over there, my son and I are waiting for you at home to return triumphantly. ”

After chatting with He Yingqing for half an hour, Ma Xudong also knocked on the door at this time and came to Zhou Jingming's room.

"Mr. Zhou, why haven't you moved from BMW until now?" asked Ma Xudong impatiently after he came in.

Waiting for news is too much of a grind.

"There shouldn't be any new moves today, let's see what BMW has to say tomorrow. Zhou Jingming looked at the sky outside and said.

"Do you think BMW will raise prices to compete that week?"

Zhou Jingming scratched his head, and then shook his head again, "I can't tell, I can't guess what BMW thinks." ”

If according to Zhou Jingming's understanding of the acquisition of Rolls-Royce in his previous life, BMW's final offer has always been one billion marks, which has never increased, but in view of his rebirth, many things cannot be generalized with the memory of his previous life, for example, in his previous life, Volkswagen finally successfully acquired Rolls-Royce for 1.44 billion marks, and there has been no action so far, so Zhou Jingming is not good to make any more speculations.

And Zhou Jingming is worried that even if BMW does not participate in the competition, Volkswagen, which has not been moving, is likely to suddenly appear again, and the situation will only become more complicated at that time.

"Then rest assured and wait for tomorrow's report. Ma Xudong also knew that this matter was in a hurry, so he could only go back and continue to wait.

The next day's time came quickly, and everyone was waiting for BMW's next step, but the morning passed, and there was still no news about BMW's increase in offer, so many people began to speculate whether BMW was ready to withdraw from this acquisition competition.

The BBC television, which continues to pay attention to this matter, was also the first to analyze and comment on BMW's delay in speaking, pointing out that this is likely to be "a precursor to BMW's abandonment of competition".

And just when everyone was waiting impatiently, BMW finally issued an official statement: at two o'clock this afternoon, the company will hold a press conference in the United Kingdom to announce BMW's decision.

BMW's statement put the world's attention back on the matter, and various media outlets flocked to the hotel where Rodriguez was staying to attend a press conference there.

Because the press conference was not broadcast live, and Zhou Jingming and others were not invited, he could only stay in the hotel and quietly wait for the end of the BMW press conference.

As time passed, the entrance of the hotel for BMW's press conference was also surrounded by reporters who came to cover the news, and the scene of the press conference was crowded with invited reporters, everyone waiting for BMW's final decision.

The time finally came to two o'clock, and Rodriguez also came to the scene of the press conference under the attention of all reporters, according to the company's requirements, Rodriguez will represent BMW and officially announce its withdrawal from the acquisition competition.

"Friends from the media, thank you for joining us at the press conference. Rodriguez sat down and said with a smile.

"As a world-renowned car manufacturer, we at BMW have always wanted to one day lead Rolls-Royce, a century-old ultra-luxury car brand, to rebuild its former glory, and in fact, we have made great efforts to achieve this goal. ”

"But the truth is always cruel, especially in the business world, even more so, although we gave a quote of one billion marks for Rolls-Royce, but the offer of 1.1 billion marks of Tianming Automobile Company, still makes us feel unreachable, so, after the careful decision of the company's board of directors, our BMW company announced that it officially withdrew from the acquisition competition of Rolls-Royce Company, and we also sincerely wish that Rolls-Royce Company can create brilliance under the leadership of Tianming Automobile Company, thank you for your support to our BMW company, thank you！”
