Chapter 494: Just Ask If You're Afraid? (First Update)
Li Zetian saw Norbert Resef frowning, and couldn't help but continue: "Mr. Norbert Resef, although BMW is also a world-class automobile manufacturer, with all due respect, compared with Japan's Toyota Motor Company, the combined market value of the three BMW companies is not as much as that of Toyota Motor Company!"
When Li Zetian said this, he paused, glanced at Mr. Reseff, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said lightly: "Didn't Mr. Resef think about making BMW surpass Toyota and become the world's largest automaker? Li is absolutely capable of doing it! I will let the major shareholders of BMW AG get far more benefits than they do now!"
"Mr. Resself, I know you're having a hard time making a decision right now, you can go back and talk to the board, and please bring my sincerity with me - Les-Royce Motors plus $25 billion in cash ......"
After Li Zetian finished speaking, Norbert Reseff finally answered: "Okay, Mr. Li, I know, goodbye, I will tell you about the decision of the board of directors of BMW as soon as possible!"
"Okay, goodbye!"
The two ended the conversation.
At BMW headquarters in Germany, Norbert Resef sat in a chair, chin propped up, and pondered.
"Accept Mr. · Li's acquisition is ......not out of the question," murmured Norbert Retheff, "if BMW can surpass Toyota Motor Corporation of Japan, as he claims, even if the shareholders hold fewer shares, but the value is higher! Li has become the majority shareholder of BMW, so BMW will have great advantages in brand promotion, offline channels, Internet channels, capital, talent, technology, spare parts supply and market demand in the future......
After a while, Norbert Resef suddenly raised his head, picked up the landline phone, called his secretary, and he said: "Elena, give notice immediately, the board meeting will be held tomorrow at 10 o'clock in the morning!!"
"Yes, Mr. Raysev. ”
The next morning, members of the board of directors of BMW AG came to the company one after another.
"What the hell is Norbert Retheff, I suddenly have to have a board meeting, I was still on vacation in the Mediterranean, sun, sand and bikinis, oh God, this is real life!! but I was told to hold a board meeting, and I flew back overnight! If I see Norbert Ressef later, I must ask him to compensate me for my losses, I heard that Norbert Ressef has a lot of good wine!" A middle-aged man wearing sunglasses and casual clothes walked into the conference room, found a seat and sat down, and scolded with a big grin.
"Oh, Charles, you're really going to enjoy it! By the way, Charles, I heard you're chasing the French goddess Sophie Marceau?"
Charles took off his sunglasses, shook his head and sighed: "Oh, don't say it, it's just too bad, I was rejected by her." By the way, do you know why Norbert Resef held the board meeting?"
"Know," one of the directors smiled and nodded, "I've heard that it's Chronos· Li wants to buy BMW. ”
While everyone was discussing, the door to the conference room opened again, and Norbert Resef walked in, waving to everyone and walking straight to the chairman's seat.
"Today's board meeting is very important about the future of BMW! Li wants to buy BMW. He will take a stake in Rolls-Royce Motor Cars and $25 billion in BMW, which will sell 60% of the shares to him!"
After Norbert Reseff finished speaking, the conference room was in a stir and there was a lot of discussion.
As far as the conditions set by Li Zetian are concerned, they are indeed very sincere. Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has three main brands, one is Rollslath Motor Cars, one is Bentley, and the other is the low-end brand car built by Li Zetian for Rollslath Motor Cars in China - Weilong Cars. Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is not listed, and its market value cannot be reflected in specific figures, but even if the market value does not reach 10 billion US dollars, there are still billions of dollars. (Li Zetian spent only six or seven billion dollars when he bought Rollslas Motor Cars)
Coupled with $25 billion in cash, it is naturally enough to take a 60% stake in BMW.
The conference room was a little noisy, and Norbert Reseff's voice couldn't help but raise a few decibels, and then said, "I thought about it carefully before, and it seems that I accept Chronos· The benefits of Li's investment outweigh the disadvantages for BMW and your shareholders, so please take a look at some of the information and analysis I have put together. ”
With that, the secretary turned on the projector.
The ppt lists the Chronos· What kind of benefits will Li bring to BMW after acquiring BMW?
The room was silent, and everyone listened attentively, except for Norbert Reseff's voice.
Ten minutes later, when Norbert Resef had finished speaking, he glanced around and asked, "Do you have any opinions?" ”
Charles was the first to speak: "I am a businessman, and I will support whoever can bring me the greatest benefit! Norbert Ressef, I think your analysis is correct, logical, and accept Chronos· Li's investment acquisition is not unexpected by the fact that the value of our holdings has decreased, on the contrary, its value should have risen! Li acquires BMW!"
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
“……”
Everyone agreed, and Norbert Reseff nodded secretly and said in a deep voice: "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll immediately talk to Chronos· Li contact us to facilitate this as soon as possible!"
"Good!"
After the meeting, Norbert Reseff immediately called Li Zetian.
“Mr· Hello Li, I'm Norbert Ressef. ”
"Oh, hello, Norbert Ressef, has the BMW board of directors decided?"
"Yes, Mr. Li, we have decided to accept your terms!"
"Great! I believe that this is definitely a very wise decision!" Li Zetian laughed, "I took a look at my schedule, and it will be busy for a while in the future." I see, I'm flying to Germany this afternoon to sign an agreement with BMW as soon as possible, what do you think?"
"Of course we don't have a problem!"
"Okay, see you in Germany!"
"See you in Germany!"
Li Zetian hung up the phone, with a smile on his face, he beckoned to Vanessa who was not far away, and instructed: "Arrange a plane for the afternoon, I want to fly to Germany and sign a contract with BMW! In addition, notify the CEO of Rollslath Motor Cars and let him come to BMW as well." ”
"Okay, Mr. Li。 ”
After lunch, Li Zetian went to the airport non-stop......
After more than ten hours, Li Zetian finally arrived in Germany.
Outside the airport, there were already rows of BMW motorcades coming to greet them, and the scene was very spectacular, causing a shock inside and outside the airport.
"Damn, what's going on???" Passers-by were dumbfounded.
"Hundreds of BMW luxury cars lined up in a row, are they going to accept some big shots?"
Many people are not leaving, waiting to see the excitement, taking pictures while swiping Facebook and Weibo.
"Shocked! Hundreds of BMW luxury cars !! appeared at German airports"
Through the spread of Facebook and Weibo, the news immediately spread all over the Internet, shocking everyone!
Some people directly took out their iPhones, opened Google Maps, and watched the real scene of the German airport through satellites.
Suddenly, there was an uproar outside the airport, followed by shouting.
"Damn, the German Chancellor is here!"
"He's now smiling and chatting with BMW Chairman Norbert Reseff......"
"Did the German Chancellor also come to the airport to pick people up? Could it be that US President George W. Bush is coming? No, I haven't heard that the US President is going to visit Germany......
At this moment, a Space-X2000 ultra-large long-range airliner landed at the airport.
The expressions of the crowd were stunned, but they had already guessed who the German Chancellor and the chairman of BMW were going to greet!
"It turned out to be Chronos· Li is coming!!" A large crowd rushed to the exit of the airport, as excited as fans seeing a star.
Li Zetian walked out of the airport with difficulty under the escort of bodyguards, and then greeted the German Chancellor and the chairman of BMW AG cordially with a smile on his face.
"Your Excellency, I didn't expect you to come to the airport too. Li Zetian shook his hand and said with a smile.
The German Chancellor smiled: "The world's richest man has come to invest in Germany, of course I have to come to greet him personally, I heard Norbert Resef say that you want to buy BMW and lead BMW to defeat Toyota Motor Company." Haha, the German government is very supportive of this matter, but BMW is a German company, which is related to the employment of many people......"
Li Zetian smiled and said: "Your Excellency, I understand what you mean! Don't worry, BMW will not move to other countries." You know, I actually have a lot of products in Germany, such as Carl Zeiss, BASF, SAP, TRUMPF, ...... TRUMPF."
"Yes," the German Chancellor nodded with a smile and complimented: "Chronos· Li, you are the most popular investor in Germany!"
"Hehe, thank you. ”
Soon, the three of them got into the car and drove away, followed by the endless BMW convoy, leaving everyone with infinite suspense.
A Volkswagen executive frowned and said: "BMW and Chronos· Li walked together, is there any cooperation between them?"
“Mr· Li, the hotel has been booked for you, would you like to stay at the hotel and take a break?" asked Norbert Reseff.
Li Zetian waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need, I rested well on the plane." ”
The German Chancellor smiled: "Hehe, I heard that Chronos· Your special plane, the Space-X2000, is the most luxurious and comfortable aircraft in the world!"
"Counting the decoration, it cost a total of more than a billion dollars, so it's quite comfortable to live in......," Li Zetian smiled lightly, but there was actually a strong atmosphere of pretense between his words.
The German Chancellor and the chairman of BMW AG were stunned when they heard this, and said in their hearts, what a special trench!!
The German Chancellor even felt that he was not a businessman with a status as the Chancellor. Li's plane was full of tears......
Li Zetian glanced at the German Chancellor, and smiled secretly in his heart, hehe, don't talk about you German Chancellor, you are the President of the United States, and his special plane is not as good as mine!
If you have money, you can spend it however you want!
The car soon drove to BMW's headquarters, and then in the presence of the German Chancellor, Li Zetian signed an investment and acquisition agreement with BMW.
From now on, Li Zetian will be the big boss of BMW, serving as the chairman of the company, and Norbert Resef will be the executive director and CEO.
In the evening, BMW threw a party and opened champagne to celebrate the collaboration.
At this time, the ordinary employees of BMW Company knew that BMW Company was actually acquired by Li Zetian, and since then the boss has changed. However, they did not reject it, but were even more happy, it was an honor to have such a powerful big boss. Of course, the most important thing is that BMW will definitely grow and its employees will benefit from it.
That night, the news of Li Zetian's acquisition of BMW spread far and wide, causing a huge sensation in Germany.
On the morning of the next day, BMW also announced that Li Zetian became the new owner of BMW!
Well, for a while, the entire automotive industry was in a hurry.
The super capitalists who stir up the wind and rain are about to enter the automobile industry in a big way, so I ask you if you are afraid?
