Chapter 256: One Year
Susanna, there's no one else here now, you can just say anything. ”
Suzanne seemed to weigh her words for a moment, and said, "I have come this time to bring my mother's greetings, and at the same time a suggestion. ”
"Speak. ”
"We, the Covante family, are willing to transfer 5% of our shares to you as a friend. Today, Hoffmann Investment Bank owns 9 percent of BMW's shares, and the two of us together have more than 50 percent of the shares, which represents our sincerity, right?"
"Of course. ”
"We are willing to be your partner in your investment plan in ChinaAMC. ”
Jonas nodded and asked, "Reasonable." How many shares do you want, though?"
"Ten to twenty percent of your future car assembly plant shares. In exchange, we are willing to transfer part of our technology license to your future car assembly plant. ”
Jonas pondered for a moment and said, "Susanna, as a friend, I don't want to deceive you. Shares can be sold to you, but not so much. ”
"Why? Many of BMW's technology patents play a very important role in the technological upgrading of any car manufacturer. ”
Jonas smiled: "We can calculate the technology patent according to the introduction of model technology, but the company's shares, according to my assumption, there will be other collaborators." ”
Susanna, who is also a smart woman, immediately asked, "Mercedes?"
Jonas laughed and said, "In recent years, Dongying Automobile has relied on fuel economy and cheapness, and its international sales have become more and more large. The Asian market will be the most important market in the world in the next 20 years, so why can't our German automotive companies occupy this market first?
I needed an opportunity and was willing to give up some of my shares, in order to let the German car brand beat Dongying Automobile and enter the Asian market.
I can't do this alone, I need the concerted efforts of BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen. ”
"Then why choose Huaxia? Huaxia's investment model is not suitable for our cooperation!"
In Singapore and Malaysia, WFOE can be allowed, but only in China, the proportion of foreign investment cannot exceed 50%.
Under this investment model, foreign investors cannot hold all the shares and do not have full control, and it is almost impossible to occupy other markets with commodities.
Jonas laughs: "By next summer at the latest, I should be able to identify the best investment model for different regions." Moreover, at that time, you, Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen should also be able to recognize the existence of our Hoffmann Equity Investment Company. ”
Some of them didn't understand, but at this time, it was Giovanne's turn to ask Suzanne questions. "Jonas, what do you mean by that?"
Jonas smiled: "Don't forget, there is one of the contents of our negotiations with Huaxia, hoping to establish a foreign trade zone in the coastal zone, and all the cars produced will be sold to other countries and regions."
If your Fiat line can be approved, other car companies should be able to get their applications approved as well.
Our factory is built in Huaxia, with the spare parts of the joint venture company, and then the cars produced can be sold abroad to earn foreign exchange for Huaxia. Although they have not yet agreed, in the future, there is a high possibility of agreeing.
And where else in Asia is the labor cheaper than in China, and more obedient to management, hard-working?"
Giovanne fully understood at this time, and said to Susanna: "Indeed, the Chinese workers are the most industrious and hard-working workers I have ever met, they can work forty-eight hours a week, and with a little overtime pay, they can work seventy hours, or even more.
And they learn things very quickly, and the mistakes they have made are basically not repeated, and in just a few months, we can almost do the same thing as Italy in terms of quality control. ”
Suzanne said disdainfully: "Italians are the most loose ...... in the world Compared to you......"
Qiao Fanne said unconvinced: "Uncle Black is okay......"
Jonas laughed, "Well, there's no need to argue about that. In general, it will not be until next summer that the car production plan on my side will be implemented.
At that time, there should also be a result of the dispute between me and the three of you. On the Huaxia side, there will also be results in the review of the establishment of a foreign trade zone.
If Huaxia does not agree to set up a foreign trade export zone, I will consider building a factory in Malaysia. ”
Suzanne looked at Jonas's face and shook her head unconsciously. Although Jonas was a year younger than her, she had to admit that she was still a greenhouse flower, and Jonas was already a towering tree.
In addition to being able to see that he is a young man when he is playing, in many cases, he shows an old treacherous and cunning old Jianghu.
Not only her, but also Qiao Fan, the gap with him is very obvious.
Not to mention his younger brother Stefan, Stefan is still like a child, full of admiration for Jonas, and is simply a little fan brother.
However, Suzanne's admiration for Jonas does not mean that she likes such a man, for her, such a man is too unfathomable and terrifying.
The next morning, Jonas woke up.
After getting up and washing, Jonas went downstairs.
Grandma was making breakfast, Vila Ouma was sitting under the lamp reading the newspaper, and in the cradle next to her, Sophia lay with her eyes open.
"Jonas, wake up so early?"
"Omar, I am not a blessed life. ”
Vera sighed and put down the newspaper. "Jonas, this can only mean that your mind is not open, or that your heart is not at peace. I think we need to have a good talk. ”
Jonas walked to the window, looked out and said, "Of course, I can be a good listener, if not a good conversationalist." ”
Returning to sit down next to her, Jonas reached out and picked Sophia up. The little girl may have been a little bored lying there alone, but when Jonas picked her up, she opened her mouth and smiled.
Jonas gently touched her delicate face with her lips, and she reached out to grab Jonas's nostrils, and danced happily.
Vera couldn't help but smile as she watched the exchange between their father and daughter. "Jonas, do you think our family needs you to work day and night?"
"Of course not. Jonas handed Sophia a finger and said, "Omar, I know what you mean." Choosing to struggle is my own life choice, and the reason why I am so diligent now may also be because I have no other pastime. ”
Vera thought for a moment, understood what Jonas meant, and said, "Even if you don't have a woman in your life now, you have a grandmother, a daughter, music, and sports.
Tell me how long it's been since you've been hiking, how long has it been since you've sailed, and how long has it been since you've skied because it's ski season?
You've got great musicianship, but how long has it been since you've played the piano? I didn't approve of you playing football before, but I'm glad that there's finally a sport that cares you.
How long has it been since Yankel took over the social aspects of the house, and how long has it been since you've played golf or attended a private party?
Life is not only about work, but also about many beautiful landscapes. Our life is only 100 years at most, and in a limited life, living an infinite wonderful life is a successful life, not only making money!"
Hannah came out of the kitchen and leaned against the window and laughed at the sister-in-law teaching her grandson.
Unlike Vera, Basel was originally a branch, but now it is developing better than the main branch, which also puts a lot of pressure on the Lucerne Hoffmann family.
From Jonas's grandfather, to Yannick, to the current Jonas, he has always thought about how to develop better.
Vera was born in Lucerne but married to Basel, and she believes that the two families are not separated from each other, but there is actually a difference.
Jonas is motivated, it's too late for her to be happy, she will only support, how can she hold back.
Jonas didn't want to contradict his aunt Vera's words, many poor people are still struggling to make ends meet!
At least for their family, work isn't everything. Vera wants him to enjoy the excitement of life, and it is also for him.
Jonas hugged Sofia and gave Vera a smile. "Ouma, at most next year will be hard for a year, laying the foundation for our development in the next ten years, and I will be able to enjoy life to the fullest. Life is not only meaningful, but also valuable, and I want to make my life a little more valuable. ”
Vera shook her head and said, "I will remember your words, if you are still so busy this time next year, I will let the Laken they throw you to Felicithai Island and let you rest for half a year." ”
Jonas smiled and put Sophia in her arms. "Got it. I went to exercise, you coaxed her, I saw that she was going to sleep again. ”
When the door was opened, a cold wind blew in his face. Although it hasn't snowed for a few days, it's colder than snow.
He started frog-jumping from the top of the stairs, jumped down the stairs, and then jumped east along the path by the ranger. The lynx, who was already in charge of the Hoffman family, was not afraid when he saw Jonas jumping over, but looked at Jonas lazily, and continued to lie down in his nest and sleep.
Jumping along the undulating mountain road all the way to the side of Neuer Castle, and seeing the Englishman in the red military uniform, Jonas remembered that there were guests at home.
He is willing to leapfrog in front of his own bodyguards, but in front of other people, this is too unimpressive.
He stood up and began to jog into the confines of Neuer Castle.
The royal guards arrived at Neuer Castle yesterday, and they arrived at Neuer Castle in advance with the head of the royal family, Countess Britai, and some chamberlains.
Before Charles and Anna arrived, security was done and check-in was done.
It was for this reason that Jonas and his grandmother had to wait until they had left before they were ready to move in.
