Chapter 0615 Surfacing
While Tianming Automobile Company and BMW Automobile Company were fighting happily for the acquisition of Rolls-Royce, Volkswagen has been watching the fire from the other side, judging the current situation from the perspective of a third party.
In fact, it was somewhat surprising that BMW AG was out of this game early, and with his knowledge of Tolisso, the head of BMW, BMW should not have announced its withdrawal from the acquisition competition so early.
After all, BMW's desire for the ultra-luxury car market is no less than that of Volkswagen.
Piëch never figured out what the idea was when BMW announced its withdrawal after the first round of offers of a billion marks.
But the current situation does not allow Piëch to think too much, because he knows that after Tianming Automobile Company withdrew after BMW's intervention, the first thing to do was to seize the time to sign a formal acquisition agreement with the Wickers Group to end the acquisition in legal proceedings.
If Piëch had been struggling with what kind of medicine was being sold in BMW's gourd and had been reluctant to make a move, it would have been too late by the time Tianming Automobile Company and the Wix Group completed the signing of the acquisition agreement.
So Piëch decided to complete the official offer to the Wicks Group in just two days.
"Chairman, what is the right price for Rolls-Royce this time?" asked a member of the board of directors shortly after Piëch finished speaking.
"Tianming Automobile Company's quotation is not 1.1 billion marks, we can just quote 1.2 billion marks. ”
"Yes, 1.2 billion marks is about the same, if Tianming Company is smart, it shouldn't continue to compete with us. ”
"I also think that 1.2 billion marks is the most suitable. ”
…………
In response to such a question, the rest of the board members soon made such a proposal.
However, Piëch shook his head, "1.4 billion marks! The direct offer of 1.4 billion marks will make Tianming Automobile Company completely dispel the idea of competing with us." ”
1.4 billion marks?!
The conference room suddenly fell into silence, and many people couldn't help but gasp, their chairman was really generous, and he suddenly made a price of 300 million marks higher than the price of Tianming Automobile Company!
1.4 billion marks, when converted into dollars, is nearly 800 million dollars!
It is nearly $300 million higher than Tianming's first offer!
"The acquisition of this kind of thing should not be delayed for too long, and the offer of 1.4 billion marks is also to show our determination to buy Rolls-Royce by Volkswagen, so we will prepare according to what I said, and directly quote 1.4 billion marks, and make a quick decision. Piech paused, then explained further.
In fact, the offer of 1.4 billion marks is also in line with the development history of Volkswagen, because the amount spent by Volkswagen to acquire Rolls-Royce in the previous life was 1.44 billion marks, which is not much different from the current 1.4 billion marks.
If you follow Volkswagen's offer, then Zhou Jingming's top ten memories can be connected.
Piëch has absolute authority in Volkswagen, and since the chairman has spoken so, the rest of the board of directors will not say much, and the relevant professionals will prepare the materials according to the purchase price of 1.4 billion marks.
After the meeting, Piëch walked back to his office, although the acquisition of Rolls-Royce had been arranged, Piëch had always had a feeling of unease in his heart, especially when he thought that BMW had announced its withdrawal from the competition after a round of offers.
"Tolisso, what are you scheming?" said Piëch, standing in front of the window, frowning to himself.
The day after BMW announced its withdrawal from the Rolls-Royce acquisition competition, a team led by Ma Xudong, including legal, financial, tax and other related professionals, began to enter the Wix Group and conducted urgent negotiations with the other party's team on a formal acquisition agreement.
Whether it is Wix Group or Tianming Automobile Company, they all hope to complete the acquisition transaction as soon as possible, and the preparations made by both parties in advance are very good, so the progress of the negotiation is also very fast, and the agreements and the corresponding time nodes are quickly determined by both parties.
With the announcement of BMW's withdrawal from the competition, the heat about the acquisition of Rolls-Royce has slowly cooled down, and now the focus of everyone's attention is when the Wix Group and Tianming Automobile Company will be able to complete the final deal.
On the other hand, the asset inventory team of Tianming Automobile Company also began to settle in Rolls-Royce Company to conduct a thorough inventory of the entire company. In fact, this work should have been completed before the formal acquisition, so that it is convenient to give the most suitable offer, but because Zhou Jingming did not contact Rolls-Royce before giving the offer, and he also had a clear concept of Rolls-Royce's offer in his mind, so the inventory of assets has only started until now.
"In a few days, our Rolls-Royce should be modified weekly. Looking at the inventory personnel of Tianming Company who entered and exited the company's archives, Fan Persie couldn't help but sigh.
After a hundred years of ups and downs, Rolls-Royce was inevitably acquired by foreign companies, which is also a microcosm of the development of the British automobile industry.
"I don't know what the fate of our people will be after the completion of the acquisition, the new boss should not like the old minister. Rooney also sighed.
Van Persie sighed, "As long as Rolls-Royce can get better and better in the hands of Tianming Company, our personal fate doesn't matter." ”
The day's time passed quickly, and Ma Xudong, who had finished the day's consultation, also came to Zhou Jingming's room and reported the results of today's day to Zhou Jingming.
"According to the normal progress, one day tomorrow, we will be able to give all the details of the agreement, so that the day after tomorrow we can officially sign the acquisition agreement. After the report, Ma Xudong said with a smile.
"Okay, then you have to work hard for another day. Zhou Jingming smiled and nodded.
The next day's consultation went on normally, but early in the morning, Zhou Jingming was awakened by a knock on the door.
After opening the door, he found that Ma Xudong was holding a newspaper in his hand, and his face was full of anxiety, "Mr. Zhou, look, this is today's newspaper." ”
Zhou Jingming took the newspaper curiously and looked at it, and instantly became sober, because the headline of the newspaper prominently wrote such a headline:
"Volkswagen interested in buying Rolls-Royce?"
Volkswagen, which has been holding back for so long, is it finally about to surface?
