Chapter 0621 - Countermeasures
"Are you saying that BMW directly rejected our invitation to negotiate?" Zhou Jingming asked at the headquarters of the Wix Group with a surprised look at Williams.
No matter how stiff things are, we always need to give a chance to negotiate. What's more, if BMW does this, if it really makes trouble in the end, even if Tianming Automobile Company withdraws from the acquisition of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, the Weeks Group is ruthless and does not sell Rolls-Royce to BMW, BMW will not be able to get any benefits!
"Here's their receipt, see for yourself. Williams handed the note in his hand to Zhou Jingming and said with a bitter face.
The receipt is described in English, Zhou Jingming looked at it carefully, which roughly means that BMW has long stated that once Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is acquired by a company other than BMW, BMW will immediately stop supplying engines to Rolls-Royce, and the Weeks Group still insists on selling Rolls-Royce to Tianming Company under the condition that it knows that this situation will happen, and BMW deeply regrets this......
The content of the receipt is very long, but in Zhou Jingming's opinion, it is all official language, and the degree of perfunctory is very obvious.
Of course, at the end of the receipt, BMW also gave the conditions for participating in the negotiations, "Unless the Wix Group makes the right choice, BMW will not participate in any negotiations, and BMW will still stop supplying engines to Rolls-Royce Motor Cars indefinitely." ”
It's just that the "right choice" mentioned on the receipt is very intriguing. I dare to say that as long as I don't sell Rolls-Royce Motor Cars to BMW, it is not the right choice.
"Mr. Williams, what are you going to do?" Zhou Jingming raised his head to look at Williams after reading the receipt in his hand and asked.
The acquisition of Tianming Automobile Company and Wix Group has not yet been officially completed, so the attitude of Wix Group is very important, if Wix Group is forced to compromise with BMW, then Zhou Jingming no matter how hard he tries, it will all be in vain.
"I also want to ask Mr. Zhou what he plans to do?" Williams did not rush to answer, because he also knew that Zhou Jingming's attitude in this incident was also very important, in short, in the current situation, as long as one of the Weeks Group and Tianming Automobile Company retreated, then the only company that would profit in the end would be BMW.
Therefore, the current predicament requires both parties to work together to overcome the difficulties, and it is not beneficial for anyone to share the same bed and different dreams.
"Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, our Tianming Company is going to be decided!" Zhou Jingming stared at Williams' eyes and replied seriously.
"Okay! Then I'll also make a statement here, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, our Weeks Group is not sold by Tianming Company! BMW wants to use such means to seize control of Rolls-Royce from our group, don't even think about it!" Williams said with burning eyes when he heard this.
"I trust Mr. Williams' determination, but can you guarantee that the rest of the shareholders will think the same way?" Zhou Jingming continued.
The Wix Group is different from Tianming Automobile Company, Zhou Jingming of Tianming Company has the final say, and the Wix Group has many other shareholders, Williams is only the largest shareholder among them, and Williams's holding has not reached the point where he can make a statement at the shareholders' meeting.
"Mr. Zhou, please rest assured, I will hold a shareholders' meeting tomorrow, and I will persuade the rest of the shareholders to support my decision. Williams took a deep breath and solemnly promised.
After coming out of Williams's office, in order to avoid being surrounded by reporters like the last time, Zhou Jingming came directly to the underground parking lot through the back door, and Ma Xudong was already waiting for him in the car.
"How about Mr. Zhou, is BMW willing to negotiate with us?" Seeing Zhou Jingming get into the car, Ma Xudong hurriedly asked.
Zhou Jingming shook his head bitterly, "Unless the Weeks Group sells Rolls-Royce Motor Cars to BMW, they will not negotiate with us." ”
Ma Xudong slapped the steering wheel, "BMW really thinks that our Tianming Automobile Company can't be bullied!"
"Mr. Zhou, BMW can do this to us, is it possible that we can't make countermeasures? If I remember correctly, the ESP system used by BMW is provided by our company, since they dare to cut off the engine supply to Rolls-Royce, then we can also cut off the supply of their ESP system, and treat them in the same way!" Ma Xudong suddenly raised his head and stared at Zhou Jingming and asked.
"Not only the ESP system, but also the direct injection technology used by BMW is also provided by our company. Zhou Jingming frowned slightly, in fact, he had not considered such countermeasures in the past two days, but once Tianming Company made such an act, it would really rise from a simple cross-border merger and acquisition competition to an all-round confrontation.
Zhou Jingming is not worried that Tianming will be in the position of the ministry in this confrontation, in fact, none of the current technologies of Tianming Company are related to BMW, but BMW has been relying on Tianming's ESP and in-cylinder direct injection technology, so once it rises to an all-round confrontation, it will inevitably be BMW that suffers.
But the scope of influence of this is too great, and Zhou Jingming does not want to do it unless it is absolutely necessary.
At this stage, Zhou Jingming still wants to seek to resolve the current differences through negotiation.
And on the other side, the headquarters of BMW.
"Are you really sure you refuse to negotiate with the Weeks Group and the Celestial Company?" asked Rodriguez, sitting there, looking at Tolisso.
From the very beginning, Rodriguez did not support such a means to force the other side to make concessions, because once the other party insisted on fighting BMW to the end, BMW would not get any benefits in the long run.
"I knew in my heart that the Wicks Group would soon be unable to hold on. ”
"Do you really think that the Wicks Group and the Tianming Company will make such a concession?" Rodriguez continued.
"Do they have a better option?" Tolisso asked rhetorically. BMW's two sanctions, one to ensure that Tianming Company could not use the trademark "Rolls-Royce" normally, and the other to speed up the financial burden of the Fox Group, unless Zhou Jingming of Tianming Company insisted on acquiring Rolls-Royce Motor Cars to its subsidiary, then at that time, the sanctions formed by these two measures will be borne by Tianming Company alone.
Tolisso doesn't think the company would be stupid enough to do that.
"Then do you really think that Tianming Automobile Company will sit still?"
"Or do you think that only we, BMW, can impose sanctions?"
Rodriguez stared at Tolisso and asked word for word.
