Although Rooney said in his previous conversation with Van Persie that the specific sale of Rolls-Royce to depends on the meaning of the parent company Weeks Group, in fact, in his heart, he still hopes that BMW can take over Rolls-Royce, as soon as the actual holding company of Rolls-Royce Aero Engine Company is BMW Automobile, and if Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is sold to BMW Automobile, there will be no problem that the trademark cannot be used.

In addition, the engines of Rolls-Royce cars are provided by the companies under BMW Motors, and with this layer of relationship, it is even more natural for BMW to take over Rolls-Royce.

Moreover, BMW itself is a luxury car manufacturer, compared with Tianming Automobile Company, in the operation of luxury car brands, BMW is definitely far better than Tianming Automobile Company, no matter from which point of view, Rooney feels that BMW Automobile is the "real destiny" of Rolls-Royce Company, Tianming Automobile Company is just an unsuitable suitor.

"Mr. Rooney, of course I know that BMW is the better choice, but now the problem is that BMW has not made any offer to us, do you want us to negotiate with BMW in person?" Williams laughed angrily, "And I also told you, as long as we go to BMW to discuss the acquisition, BMW's bid will definitely not be higher than 500 million US dollars, and the highest price will get it, throughout the ages, it has always been like this, this is a business activity, not a place to engage in feelings!"

As the largest shareholder of the Weeks Group, Williams naturally has to consider the overall interests of the group.

"Chairman, there was no one to compete with him before, so you think that BMW's offer will not exceed 500 million US dollars, and now there is a competitor of Tianming Company, if he is really interested in our Rolls-Royce company, he will not give up Rolls-Royce so easily, not to mention, once BMW Company is angry and announces the cessation of the supply of Rolls-Royce engines, then the Rolls-Royce car brand will really be destroyed in our hands!"

Rooney saw that Williams had already made up his mind, and he could only make the last struggle.

"Mr. Rooney, don't say it yet, this matter is decided, what is the specific result, in two days I will convene an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, and the general meeting of shareholders will vote on this matter. Williams waved his hand, then looked at Rooney again, and continued,

"As for you, Mr. Rooney, after the completion of the acquisition of Rolls-Royce by Tianming Motor Company, the board of directors will readjust your position, so you should not interfere in this matter again, and you can rest in peace during this time. ”

Williams's words are equivalent to the suspension of Rooney!

Rooney glanced at the indifferent board members in the conference room, and finally sighed, and did not continue, Williams was right, as long as Rolls-Royce was sold, the rest of the matter was not something that Wicks Group needed to consider, but a problem that Tianming Automobile Company would face.

It's just a pity that the two ultra-luxury car brands of nearly 100 years, Rolls-Royce and Bentley, can't escape the tragic fate of becoming a tool for capitalists to make profits.

After the meeting, Williams directly asked his secretary to prepare for the convening of an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, and this time, after the discussion of the group's board of directors, the sale of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars to Tianming Automobile Company for 500 million dollars was basically decided.

Tomorrow, we only need to discuss the specific details of the acquisition with Zhou Jingming and them, and then after the voting resolution of the shareholders' meeting, the delivery of Rolls-Royce can be officially completed.

On the other hand, after Rooney finished this meeting, he also returned to the headquarters office of Rolls-Royce for the first time, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw his old friend Van Persie sitting there.

"What is the content of the board this time? Is it about the sale of Rolls-Royce, and which company is being proposed to buy?" As soon as Rooney came in, Van Persie asked several questions in quick succession.

"You let me breathe a sigh of relief first, I'm really angry at today's meeting!" Rooney, who just wanted to open a little, couldn't help but say angrily.

"What the hell is going on, I heard that the Weeks Group received an offer to buy our company a few days ago, this news can't be true, right?"

"It's true, and this time the board of directors is convened for this offer. Rooney nodded.

"Which company made the offer, BMW or Volkswagen?" Van Persie continued.

Rooney shook his head, "Neither." is a car manufacturer from China, you should know, Tianming Automobile Company. ”

"China's Tianming Automobile Company?" Van Persie was shocked, "How could such a company suddenly appear!"

For Tianming Automobile Company, Fan Persie is naturally clear, he is responsible for brand operation in Rolls-Royce, and has a very detailed analysis and understanding of Tianming Automobile Company's operating methods, and admires Zhou Jingming, the founder of this company, and feels that Zhou Jingming has a deep knowledge of product marketing and brand operation.

"I don't know, but the first one to make an offer was indeed this Chinese company. ”

"What's the exact amount of the offer?" Van Persie asked, recovering from his senses.

"Five hundred million dollars. ”

"Five hundred million dollars?" Van Persie was even more shocked in his heart, "Tianming Company is really bold, the offer of five hundred million dollars is already very good, why does it seem that you are not happy at all, is it possible that you don't want to sell the Rolls-Royce brand to China?"

"Do you know, I am not against Tianming being a Chinese company, but once Rolls-Royce is merged into Tianming, it will bring disaster to the Rolls-Royce brand. Rooney smiled wryly and repeated what he had said on the board today.

"The problem now is that the rest of the board of directors simply don't listen to me, and they only want to sell Rolls-Royce sooner, and I can't do anything about it. ”

"The chairman is right, once Rolls-Royce is successfully acquired by Tianming Automobile Company, the next thing will not be our responsibility, look at it a little, is it possible that you still expect to talk about feelings with capitalists?" Van Persie persuaded him.

"What if you don't look away? In a few days, the shareholders' meeting will be held, and then everything will be over. Rooney sighed and resigned himself to his fate.

The next day, Zhou Jingming took Ma Xudong and others to talk with Williams again.

"Mr. Williams, I don't know how your company discussed yesterday, the offer of $500 million is already very high. Zhou Jingming asked with a smile.

"Mr. Zhou, yesterday all the members of our board of directors discussed, and always believed that Tianming Automobile Company is a large company with strength and potential, and will definitely be able to lead Rolls-Royce to glory again, so we are willing to accept your offer of 500 million US dollars, as long as we wait for the shareholders' meeting to vote, we can carry out the delivery of assets. Williams replied with a smile.
