Chapter 0606 - Protracted Battle

"Heavy! Rolls-Royce acquisition deal may be uncertain"!

"Just now, the Wix Group officially announced that the shareholders' meeting to be held tomorrow will also decide whether to accept BMW's offer of up to one billion marks, and decide whether to sell Rolls-Royce to Tianming according to the original offer of 500 million US dollars from Tianming Automobile Company...... This move by the Wix Group is likely to be a precursor to the acceptance of BMW's offer, and we will continue to pay attention to the specific outcome of tomorrow's shareholders' meeting. ”

Just after the Wicks Group issued a statement, the British BBC TV broadcast this matter for the first time, and announced that it would invite a special automotive industry critic to analyze this matter tomorrow, and later in the form of a special topic, a summary review of the acquisition of Rolls-Royce AG.

Following the BBC TV report, the rest of the British news media, as well as the mainstream media in most European countries, carried out urgent reprint reports on the incident. When it comes to the three car manufacturers in this case, it can be said that the Chinese, British and German car industries are typical representatives, and it is not so much a war between the three car companies as a commercial competition between the three countries.

It can be said that this matter has received attention from almost all over the world, and it has been reversed in two days, from the agreement between Tianming Company and Wix Group, to BMW's entry into the competition, and then to the announcement of the final decision by the General Meeting of Shareholders of Wix Group, three statements in two days, each of which is enough to shake the entire international automobile industry.

I just don't know which direction this matter will develop in next, and who Rolls-Royce will end up with.

After returning from the Fox Group, Zhou Jingming also convened the legal staff of the acquisition team to conduct a detailed analysis of the matter, while Ma Xudong was also busy preparing new quotation materials, striving to be fully prepared for the possible results of tomorrow's shareholders' meeting.

After the board meeting, Rooney also returned to the headquarters of Rolls-Royce in a happy mood, BMW's participation in the acquisition competition and Williams's decision to decide whether to accept BMW's offer can be said to be the best news Rooney has heard in the past few days.

Rooney doesn't care how much Wicks can get out of this acquisition, he just wants Rolls-Royce to be better in the future, at least better than it is now.

"How's it going, has the board accepted BMW's offer?" asked Van Persie, who had been waiting in his office, as soon as Rooney returned.

The chairman has not given a clear answer, but he said that he will leave the matter to tomorrow's shareholders' meeting to decide. Rooney replied with a smile.

"That is to say, this matter is basically stable!" Van Persie couldn't help but smile when he heard this. Van Persie couldn't know the representatives of the shareholders' meeting any better, all of them are "money-looking" masters, and whoever gives the most money must sell Rolls-Royce to whomever he wants.

"It is certain to accept BMW's offer, but I don't know if Tianming Automobile Company will raise the offer again. At this, Rooney's face became solemn again.

Tianming Automobile Company is menacing this time, and listening to Zhou Jingming's tone, Tianming Company can be said to be determined to win Rolls-Royce Company, and no one dares to guarantee that Tianming Automobile Company has the highest price for Rolls-Royce Company, after all, this company was in order to compete for the Southeast Asian market, but the "largest bank in the universe" Industrial and Commercial Bank of China was pulled into its own camp.

Maybe this time, Tianming Company has the support of the Chinese banking system behind it.

"It's useless to worry about this, let's wait to see what kind of next move Tianming Automobile Company will take after the end of tomorrow's shareholders' meeting. Van Persie frowned, and then looked at Rooney again, "Moreover, if Tianming Automobile Company is willing to pay more for the acquisition of our company, and does not hesitate to compete with BMW, it means that Tianming Company really wants to develop Rolls-Royce, not for the rest, if this is the case, it is a good destination for us, whether it is BMW Company or Tianming Company." ”

When Rooney heard this, he couldn't help but shrink his pupils, Van Persie's analysis. It still makes sense, no matter which company the final destination is, it will be better than the current Wicks Group, there is no doubt about this.

At the same time, Volkswagen, which is closely following the progress of this matter, also convened a secret meeting again under the chairmanship of Piëch.

"Chairman, BMW's offer has come out, shouldn't our company also take action to push this matter a little further?" one of the executives who attended the meeting suggested.

"I think for the time being it's better to wait for a while, not to rush to give us an offer, I don't think a billion marks will be the final offer from BMW. The other person on the side shook his head and said.

"Yes, what I just said makes sense, if we give an offer now, it will inevitably make the acquisition of Rolls-Royce more uncertain, once it causes vicious competition, the final premium part is likely to exceed our expectations, and then the gains outweigh the losses. Piëch nodded, then continued,

"Our goal is to successfully defeat the two competitors of Tianming and BMW, and take Rolls-Royce in one fell swoop. With my understanding of Zhou Jingming, he will definitely not give up Rolls-Royce to BMW, and after tomorrow's shareholders' meeting, Tianming will definitely have an updated offer, and we will continue to wait until these two companies have competed to the limit, and then we will make a move. ”

When Piëch was planning to acquire Porsche, Piëch was also dormant step by step, and finally succeeded in merging Porsche, which was not inferior to Volkswagen at that time, into Volkswagen's business territory, further expanding the scale and scope of Volkswagen's business.

The time soon came to the middle of the night, Zhou Jingming was lying on the bed, looking at the moonlight outside the window, turning over and over again, it was said that the moon in foreign countries was relatively round, but in Zhou Jingming's opinion, it was nothing more than that.

After tomorrow's shareholders' meeting, a new round of competition will begin, I thought that after tomorrow, I could return to China, but according to the current situation, Zhou Jingming does not know how long this cross-border merger and acquisition will last.

It's definitely going to be a long game!
