Chapter 0616 - Back Hand
After seeing such a headline, Zhou Jingming was completely sleepy, and hurriedly picked up the newspaper and read it carefully, "...... Just yesterday, the chairman of Volkswagen Piëch attended the event and said that Rolls-Royce is a treasure for all mankind and that Volkswagen is willing to pay an offer of more than 1.1 billion marks for this company......"
"But as of now, Volkswagen has not given any official statement on this matter, so whether this is Mr. Piëch's joke or shows that Volkswagen is ready to enter the game, we do not know, but there is no doubt that Mr. Piëch's remarks will undoubtedly cast a veil on the almost foregone Rolls-Royce acquisition......
"Mr. Zhou, what should we do?" asked Ma Xudong with an anxious face. After eating in the morning, he was just about to join the rest of the people and go to the Weeks Group to negotiate the remaining part of the agreement, but he happened to see this newspaper, and he was so surprised that he came to Zhou Jingming as soon as possible.
After reading the newspaper, Zhou Jingming paced back and forth in the room, and the development of the situation once again exceeded Zhou Jingming's expectations.
The only thing that can be explained is that some time ago, when BMW and Tianming were competing back and forth, Volkswagen had been watching the fire from the other side!
In other words, Volkswagen does not want to buy Rolls-Royce, but has been pretending to be indifferent to this matter, he wants to take advantage of the fisherman!
Thinking of this, Rao is Zhou Jingming also felt a chill in his back, the praying mantis catches cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind, it turns out that he has already become the prey of Volkswagen!
This Piëch is really extraordinary!
Other people may not know whether Piëch's words are a joke or his true thoughts, but Zhou Jingming knows very well that Piëch's words are absolutely true, and Zhou Jingming can even guess what Volkswagen's offer will be, at least 1.4 billion marks!
Be sure to close the deal before Volkswagen makes an official offer!
"Old Ma, can the agreement be drawn up this morning?" Zhou Jingming walked a few steps, then immediately turned his head and stared at Ma Xudong and asked.
"It would be difficult to complete all the details in one morning, as required by the previous agreement. Ma Xudong shook his head and replied bitterly. He didn't understand the reason why Zhou Jingming asked, but there were too many details of the acquisition agreement, and if he didn't study it carefully, it was likely to leave loopholes.
"I'll keep some minor details for now, and then we can sign a supplemental agreement, and I'm going to go to Williams now, and this time the acquisition deal has to be completed this morning, and it can't be delayed any longer. Zhou Jingming's biggest fear has happened, a BMW company, and now a Volkswagen company, if the acquisition agreement is not signed, I am not sure what will happen next.
Zhou Jingming and Tianming Automobile Company really can't afford to wait.
"I know Mr. Zhou, we must prepare the acquisition agreement this morning!" Ma Xudong also knew that it was now at the point of desperately hurrying on time.
After a simple wash, Zhou Jingming, Ma Xudong and others came to the Wix Group together.
Since Zhou Jingming can see this newspaper, Williams can naturally see it too, and Williams, who was sitting in the office at this time, couldn't help frowning.
"What does this Volkswagen mean?" Williams has long heard of Volkswagen's intention to acquire Rolls-Royce, but during this time, it has always been BMW and Tianming that have participated in the offer, causing Williams to ignore Volkswagen as a potential buyer.
Now that such a sudden appearance appeared in the newspaper, Williams was also puzzled in his heart.
"Forget it, the deal with Tianming Automobile Company is about to be completed, and this time can't be any longer. Williams swept away the distracting thoughts in his mind, he was already making a joke some time ago, and this time he couldn't be untrustworthy, otherwise, the Wicks Group would really be discredited.
However, Williams is not sure what the shareholders will choose if Volkswagen does offer a price above 1.1 billion marks to the Wicks Group, so the best way to avoid such annoyance is to complete the deal before Volkswagen makes an offer.
On this point, Williams and Zhou Jingming are on the same page.
So when Zhou Jingming hurried to the Wicks Group, Williams asked directly, "Mr. Zhou came because of this newspaper report, right?"
"Since Mr. Williams knows, I wonder what you think?" asked Mr. Zhou after taking a breath.
"I wish I could close this deal sooner, Mr. Zhou should think so, right?" Williams responded with a smile.
"Doesn't Mr. Williams want to wait a little longer?" Zhou Jingming asked in surprise. Volkswagen's offer is much higher than Tianming's, and Williams is willing to give up such an opportunity, Zhou Jingming is somewhat surprised.
"If we are too greedy, then we will really not be able to gain a foothold in the market in the future. But I know too well what the rest of the shareholders think, and once this matter rises to the level of the shareholders' meeting again, the final result will inevitably be to accept the Volkswagen offer, so I hope that this transaction will be completed within today. Williams replied sincerely.
Although Piëch's remarks caused quite a stir in the market, it was not Volkswagen's statement after all, so the discussion on this matter was not as lively as a few days ago, and only a few media reprinted the news.
Thanks to Ma Xudong's efforts, the content of the acquisition agreement has been refined item by item, and according to Zhou Jingming's meaning, all minor details have been put aside, and will be improved in the form of a supplementary agreement.
On the other side, the headquarters of Volkswagen in Germany.
Piëch sat in his office, with materials in his hand and looking at them carefully, "Are you ready for the press conference?" asked Piëch as he watched.
"It's all ready, chairman, and it starts at two o'clock in the afternoon. The secretary replied respectfully.
"Okay, at two o'clock in the afternoon, the offer for the acquisition of Rolls-Royce will be officially announced!" said Piëch with burning eyes after reading the materials in his hand.
At the same time, the headquarters of the BMW company.
"The British side is ready, right?" asked Tolisso, looking at Rodriguez across from him.
"Hmm. Rodriguez nodded, then hesitated, "Are you sure you want to do this?"
"It went as planned. Tolisso replied blizzily, "It's already a great mercy to announce such a statement before they have completed a formal deal." ”
"Okay. Rodriguez nodded helplessly, only to feel that the sunlight outside had never been so dazzling.
At 11 o'clock in the morning of the same day, a piece of news shocked the world again, Rolls-Royce Aero Engine issued a statement that once Tianming Automobile Company acquired Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, it would prohibit Tianming Company from using the trademark "Rolls-Royce" to produce cars!
