Chapter 0602 BMW Enters
For BMW's intention to acquire Rolls-Royce, Piëch actually knew for a long time, of course, BMW's side, must also know that Volkswagen also wants to buy Rolls-Royce, after all, the two companies are in Germany, and there is capital to buy Rolls-Royce car manufacturers, there are only a few in the whole of Europe, as long as you understand the development strategy of each company, you can easily guess who the competitors are.
It's just that Volkswagen and BMW have the same idea, don't take the initiative to quote first, and wait until someone makes a move before waiting for the opportunity to act.
The emergence of Tianming Automobile Company can be said to have broken the balance between BMW and Volkswagen that has been maintained for so long, but in Piëch's view, as long as Volkswagen is not in a hurry to participate in this matter, it can still establish a new balance with the help of Tianming Automobile Company, and such a new balance will be more beneficial to Volkswagen.
"I almost forgot about BMW, with BMW taking the lead, we can grasp the specific situation of this competition in real time, and then formulate a targeted action plan according to the battle situation between them. ”
"It's better if both Tianming and BMW lose in this competition, and then we at Volkswagen can take advantage of the fisherman. ”
"In this way, you can not only not offend Tianming Automobile Company, but also grasp the initiative to acquire Rolls-Royce, the chairman's move is really wonderful!"
As soon as Piëch said this, several other people in the office also suddenly woke up, and they actually forgot that before the appearance of Tianming Company, Volkswagen's biggest competitor in acquiring Rolls-Royce was BMW!
"But if BMW had the same idea as us, wouldn't it have allowed Tianming to successfully complete this acquisition?" one of them asked again.
BMW also knew that Volkswagen wanted to buy Rolls-Royce. If both sides are waiting for the other to make a move and sit idly by, wouldn't this matter be cold?
"No, it won't. Piëch smiled and shook his head, "I know Tolisso too well, he won't wait for us to make a move and wait on the sidelines, tomorrow at the latest, BMW will definitely take action." ”
Piëch and Tolisso have been competing with each other for so many years, and Piëch thinks he knows Tolisso well.
"This matter has been settled for the time being, let's see what BMW will do tomorrow, and then respond in a targeted manner. Piëch looked at the crowd and said again. He has been at the helm of Volkswagen for so many years, and he has never failed in major decisions, and the SAIC Volkswagen project, which was opposed by everyone, will be the same this time.
At this time, Zhou Jingming, who was far away in the UK, did not know that BMW and Volkswagen had made separate arrangements for the acquisition of Rolls-Royce. In fact, since the end of the press conference in the morning, Zhou Jingming has not been out of the hotel much, and media reporters from all over the world already know that Zhou Jingming lives here, as long as he goes out, he will inevitably be questioned by reporters.
Zhou Jingming felt troublesome, so after he came back, he stayed in the room, and even lunch was called room service.
Many people feel that this is a cross-border merger that deserves to be recorded in history, and some people think that Tianming Company has just started, and it is a huge purchase of a Rolls-Royce that is about to go bankrupt with a huge investment of 500 million US dollars, which is putting the cart before the horse.
But the hustle and bustle of the outside world does not affect Zhou Jingming's inner peace at this time, and what he wants to do will not be disturbed by any external interference.
"Knock knock...... Mr. Zhou, can I come in?" At this time, Ma Xudong's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Zhou Jingming hurriedly stepped forward and opened the door, "What, is there something wrong with me?"
"A person is lying sullenly in the room, and I want to talk to Mr. Zhou, didn't delay you?" Ma Xudong stood at the door and said with a smile.
"Come in quickly, I'm fine, I'm just in a daze alone. ”
After Ma Xudong walked in, he found a place to sit down, "How is Mr. Zhou's mood now, is he particularly excited?"
Zhou Jingming smiled, "I just want to go home early now, and I don't have any special thoughts about anything else." ”
"I miss the kids. Ma Xudong smiled, "When I was as old as you, I was also thinking about the children at home every day, but the conditions at that time were not as good as now, I was busy working all day long, and I didn't have time to spend with my family. ”
"Do the math, from leaving to now, almost a week has passed, this time has been busy with work, three days and two ends are either abroad, or to the rest of the country's cities, and there is no time to accompany my son, our family Xuanxuan was born to the present, I have been with him for less than half a year, I am a father, quite a failure. Zhou Jingming replied with a smile.
"I can go back immediately, in three days at most, I will be able to officially sign the acquisition agreement with Weeks Group, and then I will handle the rest of the things, and Mr. Zhou, you can go back first." Ma Xudong said with a smile. When signing the agreement, Zhou Jingming needs to participate in person, and as for the next matter, Ma Xudong can handle it on his behalf.
"I'm also waiting for the Weeks Group to hold a shareholders' meeting, as long as the shareholders' meeting the day after tomorrow is over, the acquisition of Rolls-Royce will be settled, and I will be able to return to China. Zhou Jingming smiled, and suddenly sighed again, "I hope there will be no more accidents in the past two days." ”
Saying that, Zhou Jingming couldn't help but look out the window, I don't know why, a trace of uneasiness lingered in my heart.
In fact, not only Zhou Jingming, Williams also hopes to settle this matter as soon as possible, as long as Rolls-Royce can be sold, then the profit of Wicks Group will be greatly increased next year.
The day passed quickly, and there was only one last day left before the Weeks Group held a shareholders' meeting, and just when everyone thought that Tianming's acquisition of Rolls-Royce was no longer in suspense, BMW Motor Company also held a press conference that morning to officially announce that BMW Company was participating in the acquisition competition of Rolls-Royce Company.
"After careful consideration by our company and the approval of the board of directors, we at BMW have decided to participate in the acquisition of Rolls-Royce and will compete with Tianming Automobile Company to acquire Rolls-Royce Company!" Rodriguez solemnly announced in front of all reporters.
At this point, BMW AG officially joined the acquisition of Rolls-Royce AG.
