Chapter 0609 - Second Quote
After Williams read these words, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, what the Wicks Group was going to do had basically been completed, and then it was up to Tianming Automobile Company and BMW Company to play the game.
Zhou Jingming, who was guarding in front of the TV, also turned around after hearing the exact result, "Everything is going according to the original plan, everyone cheer up, and it is estimated that there will be a tough battle to be fought next." ”
The real battle has just begun!
At the same time, Zhao Ke and others, who were far away in China, also learned of this resolution of the Weeks Group for the first time.
"These Brits, they are really thieves, and if they negotiate a good deal, they will cancel it if they say it will be canceled?" Wang Yuan almost scolded angrily.
"Grandma's, did these grandsons fall into the eyes of money, do they do this business?" He Yingxun couldn't help but say.
"Why don't you call my brother-in-law and see what he's up to?" He Yingxun suggested.
"Don't bother him yet, he'll be in touch with us if there's anything. Zhao Ke on the side shook his head and said.
At this moment, Zhou Jingming, who was in the UK, was holding the phone in his hand, nodding while listening, "I know, thank you Minister Li." ”
"Xiao Zhou, you remember, this time your Tianming Automobile Company represents our China, and we will go all out to win Rolls-Royce, and we are waiting for your good news in Yanjing. On the other end of the phone came Lee Ming-che's familiar voice.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Jingming couldn't help but straighten his waist, and as soon as the Weeks Group announced the results, Li Mingzhe called him and expressed his support for him.
At this time, the reporters who were guarding outside the Weeks Group also received such news for the first time, and the news here was sent to the headquarters of various media as quickly as possible, and then the media people who were guarding there began to write reports on the news, quickly seizing the timeliness of the news.
And the host of BBC TV also began to make a final summary of this broadcast, "The result of the shareholders' meeting of the Weeks Group, as expected by the two guests, ended in accepting BMW's offer, but what is the direction of this matter, is it BMW's acquisition of Rolls-Royce as it wishes, or whether Tianming Automobile Company continues to increase the price of competition, we will continue to follow up and report." ”
An hour after the end of the Weix Group shareholders' meeting, various news media reports on this matter also came out one after another.
"BMW has officially entered the game, and the Rolls-Royce acquisition has made a comeback. The Guardian was the first media to report on the matter.
Subsequently, the Washington Post, Le Monde and other world-renowned news media also analyzed the resolutions of the general meeting of shareholders of Wix Group from their own perspectives.
And just as Zhou Jingming thought, after the shareholders' meeting, Williams personally came to the hotel where Zhou Jingming stayed.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Zhou, the resolution of the shareholders' meeting has been issued, and I apologize for such a result. Williams looked at Zhou Jingming and said very sincerely.
"It's nothing, it's business, buying and selling is not benevolent, I can understand the choice of shareholders. Zhou Jingming smiled and shook his head, there was no morality in the business field.
"Then what are you going to do next, Mr. Zhou, do you want to withdraw, or do you want to continue to increase the offer?" Williams hesitated, but asked anyway.
"Of course, the offer has been increased, and the new offer will soon be in the hands of Mr. Williams. Zhou Jingming smiled, without any concealment.
Williams was shocked, he didn't expect Zhou Jingming to really increase the offer, let alone Zhou Jingming would be so direct.
However, the more fierce the competition between Tianming Automobile Company and BMW Company, the greater the revenue of Wicks Group, so from the bottom of his heart, Williams naturally hopes that the two companies will fight as fiercely as possible.
On the other hand, Rodriguez, who is the negotiator of BMW's acquisition of Rolls-Royce, also called BMW's headquarters for the first time to report the situation to BMW's CEO Tolisso.
"I already know the specific results, since the Wix Group has officially accepted our offer, then on your side, go to further contact with the Wix Group to discuss the next specific matters. Tolisso, who was sitting in his office, said on the phone.
"If Tianming Auto Company raises their offer, how will our company react?" Rodriguez asked.
Tolisso on the other end of the phone obviously hesitated, at the beginning of the offer of one billion marks, BMW had a comprehensive assessment of all the assets of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, and the result of the evaluation was that Rolls-Royce was worth one billion marks, and if it was more, BMW would be at a loss in this acquisition, and in Tolisso's opinion, Tianming did not seem to have the strength to continue to quote to compete with them.
Now that Rodriguez had suddenly asked such a question, Tolisso didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Let's wait and see what happens, and according to Tianming's quotation, we will make the next step. In the end, Tolisso gave such a safe answer.
"I know, I'll do it. After hanging up the phone, Rodriguez began to prepare materials for a meeting with Williams.
And Zhou Jingming, after seeing off Williams, also seized the time to prepare for the afternoon press conference and sent the latest offer to the Wix Group.
The relevant materials Zhou Jingming and the others had almost prepared last night, and now they only need to make further inspections and improvements.
"Mr. Zhou, I have prepared all the materials, and I have invited the relevant news media, I only need to wait until two o'clock in the afternoon, and the press conference can be officially held. More than an hour later, Ma Xudong walked up to Zhou Jingming and said.
"Okay, then wait for two o'clock in the afternoon. Zhou Jingming nodded, "Have the new quotation materials been sent to the Wix Group?"
"It's already been sent, and it should be in Williams' hands by now. ”
"Okay, let's rest for a while. After lunch, let's go through the specifics again. Zhou Jingming breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't know how BMW would react to his offer.
The headquarters of the Wix Group at this time.
Williams is in talks with Rodriguez, which has been going on for almost an hour.
"Mr. Williams, please believe in the sincerity of BMW, BMW is definitely the best place for Rolls-Royce. Rodriguez said with a smile.
"I also believe that BMW will definitely reproduce the glory of Rolls-Royce. Williams replied with a smile as well.
"And our deal?"
"Mr. Rodriguez, don't worry, Tianming Company hasn't given up on this acquisition yet, if they don't raise the offer, Rolls-Royce will naturally be yours. ”
After the two of them chatted for another ten minutes or so, Rodriguez left the Weeks Group, and not long after he left, the secretary hurriedly found Williams.
"Chairman, the second quotation materials of Tianming Company have been sent!"
