Chapter 232 Picking up the Missing Pieces and Filling in the Gaps

That night, Jonas and the others were placed in a separate villa. Genius one lives three five first 35d1

A large group of women were busy and arranged everything before they dispersed.

Giovanne, Susanna, Stefan, several of them were already drunk and left on the bed almost without knowing it.

Jonas was also a little dizzy, and instructed Plov and Stefan's bodyguard supervisors to arrange for the night watch, and arranged for Mikiros to live next to Susanna's room so that she could take care of her.

When he was about to go back to bed, Sassuolo came to visit at this time.

"Jonas, are you satisfied with today's hospitality?"

Sassuolo, who was already a little drunk with a big back and a cigar in his mouth, did not look like an entrepreneur at this time, but like a gang boss.

"So welcoming. Jonas smiled and invited him to sit down on a stool in the living room, saying, "This kind of family hospitality gives me a good feeling." ”

He smiled and said, "I hope you won't think that our Piaggio family is unprofessional because of today's hospitality." ”

"Quite the opposite. I can strongly feel that your family treats me as a friend. ”

He laughed and said, "It's good that you can understand it." I'm afraid that you Swiss are too serious and turn around and look down on us. ”

Placing the cigar on the ashtray, he rubbed his face and sobered up for a moment. "Actually, I mean to let the staff below and the personnel you sent stand there. On the one hand, I want to meet you, and secondly, after you come forward, the matter will be resolved, won't it be able to set off your ability!"

Jonas was a little strange at this moment, and asked, "So, you Piaggio actually agree with the plan to open a factory together?"

"How much effort and money does it take to go to Huaxia with you to open a factory? The Agnelli family wants to cultivate Giorvanne, and our Biaggio family also values this nephew.

Don't say that there is an Agnelli family, but no, we provide some technical information, technical talents, and a set of technology to cultivate the nephew's management ability, and we will do it.

Compared to that, I pay more attention to what is going on in your mind. With a profit of more than three billion dollars a year, even the Agnelli family can't do it!"

Jonas confirmed: "Piaggio is willing to provide all technical support in all directions, set up a joint venture with us, and invest in China?"

"Yes. I have only one condition. ”

"Speak. ”

"Remember the friendship of the Piaggio family. ”

Jonas held out his hand and said, "Definitely." ”

He also reached out and shook Jonas's hand heavily.

When Sassuolo left, Jonas groaned for a long time and couldn't help laughing.

The cooperation was proposed by Antonella, which meant that there was no obstacle to cooperation with Piaggio.

I was given a disadvantage by the difficulty of the automobile industry, and I complicated the problem.

Even with the blockade of the East by Batumi, motorcycle technology is not among them. Because there is already mature motorcycle technology in the East, it is just a little behind.

The next day, Jonas came forward in person, and the two sides signed a cooperation agreement with almost no disagreement.

The Piaggio Group has a stake in technology and people, as well as a brand, and the Agnelli family has a stake of 3 million US dollars, which is 50 percent of the shares.

Hoffman Investment Bank invested 6 million shares, accounting for 50 percent of the shares, to form the Piaggio Far East Company.

The company is registered in Switzerland, and Hoffmann Investment Bank is responsible for opening up the investment links and sales in the Far East, Piaggio Group is responsible for production and operation, and Giovanne is responsible for management.

Piaggio Far East is not directly placed under the name of Hoffmann Investment Bank, but is managed by Hoffmann Equity Investment Company, which is controlled by Hoffman Investment Bank.

After signing the agreement, Jonas immediately left Pisa and returned to his home in Lucerne.

At this time, Ursula and Rogers also returned from Austria and waited for his return at his home.

When Jonas relayed his discussions with Joanna in Germany to the two of them, they were not surprised by the news that the German company wanted to block Hoffmann's integration of the Austrian auto parts company.

"From the beginning, I thought about that, just to make you hit a wall once and then your swollen heart could be at peace," Ursula said. ”

Jonas asked, "Am I a man of lofty ambitions in your heart?"

Ursula laughed, "No, you are a genius, but your plan is a bit out of touch with reality, ignoring a lot of practical difficulties. Only by hitting a wall can you keep your feet on the ground, grow from small to large, and slowly plan our kingdom. ”

Jonas asked, "What can we do if the German company stops it?"

Ursula smiled: "Austrian auto parts companies are vassals of Germany, but Czech Skoda is not, and the Czech auto parts industry is also very mature.

With the auto parts companies in Eastern Europe as a lever, we can leverage the auto parts companies in Western European countries that are not running smoothly, even including those in the Americas.

Jonas, doing business is not the same thing as making investment, you don't know much about doing business, I have to take it into account for you.

Moreover, after you hit a wall this time, you will retreat from the difficulties on the surface, and we will not be too publicistic and become the target of public criticism.

Hoffman's investment bank's earnings last year made too many people jealous!"

Jonas laughed and said, "You want to be low-key, but I don't think so. If the first battle is not fought, other companies will think that we are weak. ”

Ursula shook her head slightly, not knowing what to say about Jonas.

Jonas looked at Rogers and said, "There is still nearly half a year until the end of the year, and our funds cannot be idle, have you thought about the next move?"

"A depreciation of the dollar has become imperative, and the most stable currency in the world is the Swiss franc right now," Rogers said. After thinking about the disagreement with Hugo for a long time, I decided to exchange the Swiss franc assets for the franc assets. ”

Jonas shook his head and said, "I have a plan, I don't know if you're not interested in doing it. ”

Rogers laughed, "You trust my operations, and I trust your talent as well. ”

Jonas said: "Since Germany's big four car companies are now in our way, let's go and flatten them. I decided to exchange the current shilling assets, the Swiss franc assets division, for Mark assets, and then try to buy the outstanding shares of Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, BMW. ”

Rogers shook his head and said, "Buying market stocks outright is not a good idea from an investment point of view. ”

Jonas was about to speak, but he smiled again: "However, if you look at the bureau, the acquisition of market stocks with a large amount of money will cause huge stability pressure on these major automobile companies, which will make them jump." ”

Ursula looked at the tacit understanding between the two people, and had a feeling of embarrassment. "I won't interfere with what you want to do," she advised, but, Jonas, don't make a hostile takeover. ”

Jonas nodded and said, "Aunt Ursula, I don't want to enter the development of the automobile industry and create enemies at the same time. I'm just trying to make them feel weak, and let them take care of one thing and lose the other. ”

Rogers then asked, "Jonas, do you believe that the mark will appreciate even more than the franc?"

"No, I believe that the structure of the German economy is more stable than that of France. ”

Actually, this is a meaning, Rogers nodded and said, "Then I will believe you again." ”

Jonas turned to Ursula and said, "Aunt Ursula, there are three things that need to be prioritized by you right now. ”

Jonas glanced at Mikiros, and she immediately handed over a piece of paper.

Jonas handed it to Ursula and said, "The affairs of the Austrian side will be put aside for the time being, and the first thing is to arrange a reception on the fourth floor of the headquarters in Zurich the day after tomorrow.

The guests are these Huaxia officials on the list, and Mikiros's status is a little low, and I want you to call and invite them personally. If you know other Chinese officials, you can also invite them. ”

If Jonas wants to invest in China, he must first get through the relationship with the government, why he has already taken this into account and has no doubts.

She took the list and asked, "This is the Huaxia official you met last time you went to Huaxia?"

"Some are UN officials, some are staff in Geneva and Zurich. ”

Ursula nodded and asked, "What's the second thing?"

"I'm going to call Milkan today and ask him to introduce people from the Vickers Group in the UK, and I want you to travel to England in the near future and ask about an offer to buy Rolls-Royce and Bentley. ”

Ursula frowned and said, "These two companies are not good targets. ”

Jonas smiled: "Anyway, these two companies together produce less than 10,000 cars a year, and if they can't sell them, they will be given benefits to partners as investment banks in the future." ”

Ursula paused for a moment and couldn't help but laugh. "You little villain, this is trying to deduct the partner's income!"

Rogers laughed and said, "I think Rolls-Royce and Bentley are worth buying." First of all, the factory is not big and the cost is not high, and these two companies can be bought for a maximum of 200 million dollars.

Secondly, these are two world-recognized luxury brands, which are in our hands and are the most conducive to the spread of fame.

Finally, we have relationships with the energy, politics, finance, and investment communities, which are the world's largest groups of customers who are likely to buy this luxury car, without worrying about sales. ”

In fact, apart from individuals, the largest group of people buying Rolls-Royce or Bentley are luxury hotels, but this is generally for marketing purposes.

Ursula nodded and asked, "So, as long as the Vickers Group's offer is reasonable, it can be won?"

"Yes. And one last thing, send a fax to GM asking if they have any idea of selling Opel Corporation.

There is no need to rush this matter, and the share transfer agreement with the Covante family will be signed before implementation.

Then reveal it at the right time and put pressure on several companies in Germany. ”

Thinking about it, none of the three German companies can be acquired, Skoda is even more unlikely now, Volvo is still the pride of Northern Europe, Peugeot, Citroen, Fiat can't afford it.

The most suitable manufacturer for acquisition and development potential is only Opel Automobile Company.
