Chapter 0599 Announcement
The tour continues.
After the group came out of the Rolls-Royce assembly workshop, they walked to the production workshop of Rolls-Royce decorative parts. Every trim on a Rolls-Royce car, whether it's the front grille or the interior trim, is almost hand-made, ensuring that the entire car is a perfect work of art from the inside out, from the parts to the whole.
In this workshop, Zhou Jingming was also fortunate to see one of the unique symbols of Rolls-Royce cars, the production process of "Goddess of Celebration".
"I didn't expect that every little celebratory goddess is so finely made, no wonder every Rolls-Royce car is so precious. Rao is Zhou Jingming, who knows Rolls-Royce very well, couldn't help but praise after seeing the production process of "Goddess of Celebration".
The engineers here have really taken the word "craft" to the extreme!
In comparison, the domestic Hongqi car, although it has always been Rolls-Royce as its benchmark model, but the production process of the Hongqi car, Zhou Jingming also knows and has visited the scene, although compared with the Kirin car These ordinary cars, the production process of the Hongqi car is also very fine, but compared with Rolls-Royce, it is still much worse.
On the cognition of "building a car" alone, domestic engineers are far inferior to Rolls-Royce engineers, and the engineers here completely regard their work as an art to carve, and strive to achieve perfection in every detail, while most of the domestic automotive engineers, including Hongqi cars, just treat every part of the vehicle as a dead, cold mechanical item, and the things created naturally lack soul.
"That's natural, every 'Celebratory Goddess' on our Rolls-Royce is made using the traditional wax mold process, completely pressed by hand, and then polished by hand at least eight times, and finally the polished goddess statue is ground in a machine equipped with mixed polishing material for 65 minutes before it is finally formed. Rooney, who was on the side, couldn't help but say proudly when he heard this.
Just after Williams's "warning", Rooney didn't say anything more, except for the normal introduction of the workshop and process, about the acquisition of "Rolls-Royce" by Tianming Automobile Company, he did not express his dissatisfaction again.
Because Rooney also knows that since Williams has decided to hold a shareholder meeting, this matter is basically a completed boat, raw rice has been cooked, and no matter how much he opposes it, it will be useless.
"In fact, our 'Goddess of Celebration' is not only very particular about the production process, if you look closely, you will find that each statue of the goddess that has been hand-finished is not exactly the same, maybe it is different in posture, maybe it is the difference in eyes, in short, each 'Goddess of Celebration' is a unique work of art!" Van Persie on the side also rarely opened his mouth to introduce.
When Zhou Jingming heard this, he couldn't help but pick up the two "Goddesses of Celebration" that had been made, and after careful observation, it was really just like what Fan Persie said, the two "Goddesses of Celebration" were not exactly the same!
"It's amazing. Zhou Jingming couldn't help but praise again.
It is not wrong to say that Rolls-Royce cars exude art all over their bodies.
"Originally, the 'Goddess of Celebration' on our Rolls-Royce was standard with a silver-white color, and each standard 'Goddess of Celebration' cost more than £10,000, but some owners asked us to make it entirely of gold in order to show their status, so that the cost of a Celebratory Goddess was even higher. Van Persie smiled, then continued, "In addition, when the speed of a moving Rolls-Royce exceeds 80 kilometers per hour, the statue will automatically hide in the engine compartment to avoid damage from wind and sand. ”
Listening to Van Persie's introduction to the "Goddess of Celebration", Zhou Jingming and others also have a deeper understanding of the Rolls-Royce brand, no wonder it can be used as the queen's royal car, there is a reason!
It took a morning for Zhou Jingming and others to visit the large and small workshops of Rolls-Royce and the rest of the places, and Zhou Jingming and others also had a deeper understanding of the internal assets of Rolls-Royce, and after seeing the complete process of a Rolls-Royce car, Zhou Jingming was more determined to acquire Rolls-Royce.
"Mr. Zhou, if there is no problem, I am going to hold a press conference the day after tomorrow to announce the acquisition of Rolls-Royce by Tianming Company, do you think it's okay?"
"Of course you can, and you really should let everyone know about it. Zhou Jingming replied with a smile, it is time for everyone to know about the acquisition of Rolls-Royce.
Two days later, Weeks Industries held a grand press conference at its headquarters, which was attended by a number of local British media.
At the press conference, Williams announced in front of all reporters that Rolls-Royce was about to be acquired.
"After friendly negotiations with China Tianming Automobile Company, our two companies finally reached a consensus on the acquisition of Rolls-Royce, and Tianming Automobile Company will buy all Rolls-Royce companies for 500 million US dollars. Rolls-Royce, as our British treasure, and Tianming Automobile Company is an excellent car manufacturer in China, I believe that this merger and acquisition of the two companies will definitely become a successful example of multinational mergers and acquisitions!"
The reporters who were invited didn't know what it was for at first, but as soon as Williams said this, the whole press conference immediately boiled.
It has long been rumored that the Wix Group wants to sell Rolls-Royce, but I didn't expect it to be so sudden, and the acquisition of Rolls-Royce turned out to be Tianming Automobile Company from China!
This news is inevitably too exciting!
"Mr. Chairman, can you ask about the specific process of this acquisition?"
"Mr. Zhou Jingming, as a Chinese company, can you tell us about your intention to acquire Rolls-Royce this time?"
"After Tianming acquires Rolls-Royce, will it keep the factory in the UK, or will it move to China?"
…………
The reporters at the scene were shocked, picked up the camera and microphone in their hands, and asked questions while taking pictures frantically.
In response to these reporters' questions, Zhou Jingming and Williams gave brief answers. In the afternoon of the same day, a news that shocked the international automobile industry quickly spread around the world:
Tianming Automobile Company will spend $500 million to acquire Rolls-Royce, a subsidiary of the Wix Group!
