Chapter 496: Acquisition of Truss

On the morning of December 26, this meteorite arrived in Li Zetian's hands.

Li Zetian ordered the meteorite to be taken away, and while creating the meteorite pendant, he instructed the expert team to test the composition of the meteorite to see if it was harmful to the human body.

Meteorites, after all, are still foreign things, very mysterious, maybe with radiation, or maybe they contain elements that have not yet been discovered by humans, in short, it is better to be careful. However, as far as Li Zetian knows, meteorites, which are "alien stones", are rare and precious, but they are generally not radioactive and harmless to the human body.

On January 12, 2006, after Li Zetian's family returned from vacation, the expert team sent Li Zetian a test report, this meteorite contains some very mysterious unknown components, but it is not emitting and harmless to the human body.

In addition, the meteorite pendant will be made by top craftsmen at Tiffany & Co. in the United States, and in order to make it a fine of the best, it will not be delivered in a short time.

Li Zetian nodded secretly, indicating that he understood, he knew that good things are always worth waiting for!

Two days later, Li Zetian was going to fly to Germany again.

The negotiations between BMW and Bosch have made great progress, and Li Zetian is here, firstly, to sign the contract, and secondly, to make persistent efforts and do some big things!

Space-X2000 arrived at Munich Airport in Germany at 3:15 p.m. on January 15.

Li Zetian told Norbert Resef not to come to pick up the airport, and his brother has always been a very low-key person.

It was a little late today, Li Zetian did not go directly to BMW, but went to the hotel to rest first.

The Hilton Munich Airport is located between Terminals 1 and 2 of Munich Airport, with its striking glass façade, so Li Zetian naturally stayed here.

Lying on the comfortable bed, Li Zetian suddenly realized that it was really beneficial to buy and build hotels all over the world. You think, no matter which big city you go to, you have your own hotel, which is comfortable and reassuring!

At about 8 o'clock the next day, after having breakfast at the hotel, Li Zetian went to the BMW headquarters.

After arriving at the company, Norbert Ressef and representatives from Bosch in Germany greeted him.

Norbert Resef first introduced some of the other party to Li Zetian, and after a brief greeting, they came to the conference room together.

Norbert Ressef has already talked to the representative of Bosch in Germany, and Li Zetian has basically come to sign a contract directly.

BMW AG will acquire Bosch AG for $2 billion plus 7.5% of BMW's common stock.

In the conference room, after the two parties confirmed that the contract was correct, they officially signed it.

"Happy working together!"

"Happy working together!"

"Congratulations, Mr. Li, from now on, you are the big boss of Bosch Germany!!" the representative of Bosch Germany smiled.

Li Zetian showed a faint smile: "The share exchange is a win-win situation for both of us. I believe that the future of BMW and Bosch will be extremely bright!!"

"Haha, there's Mr. · Li Your support, BMW and Bosch Germany why can't they succeed!!"

"I've got the secretary ready for champagne, let's have a toast!" laughed Norbert Ressef.

"Okay!Cheers!!"

Norbert Reseff's secretary poured a glass of champagne for each of them, and the crowd began to drink champagne in celebration.

……

At about 5 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, BMW announced that BMW had successfully acquired Bosch in Germany.

As soon as the news came out, the industry was shaken.

"Nima! As I said a long time ago, Chronos· Sure enough, let's see, BMW has acquired the world's largest automotive technology supplier, Bosch !! Germany.

"Damn, what the rich play is capital! Capital is crushed, you have to obey!"

"Alas, the competition in the automotive industry will become more and more fierce in the future......"

"Whatever, there is a tall man on top of the sky falling, and the most worried should be Japan's Toyota Motor Company. ”

“……”

Automobile companies around the world are full of complaints about Li Zetian and are very afraid of him getting involved in the automotive industry.

At the same time, the auto parts company was also very dissatisfied with Li Zetian and was very jealous because he acquired Bosch in Germany.

In short, in the automotive industry, competitors simply regard Li Zetian as a demon!

In this regard, Li Zetian is very helpless, no matter what business he does, it will always damage the interests of some people.

However, no matter how the outside world talked about and evaluated, Li Zetian ignored it, he still had something to do.

In fact, Bosch is not only an auto parts giant, but also a home appliance giant. In 1967, Bosch and Siemens Appliances jointly established "BSH Home Appliances", in which each company owned 50% of the shares. Since then, Siemens home appliances have been independently produced, sold, and provided with after-sales service by BSH. In other words, in recent decades, the Siemens home appliances purchased by consumers are no longer "pure" Siemens brands, but are produced by BSH home appliances, which are jointly invested by Bosch and Siemens!

Li Zetian knew that Siemens in his previous life completely withdrew from the home appliance market in 2014 and sold the remaining 50% of BSH to Bosch. Therefore, Li Zetian is thinking about it, and he does not know that Siemens seems to be willing to sell Siemens' home appliance business to Bosch a few years in advance......

Li Zetian chatted for a long time with Norbert Retheff and Bosch CEO Franz Fürrenbach. On the evening of January 20, Franz Ferrenbach sent an e-mail to the chairman of Siemens, saying that Bosch wanted to acquire Siemens' 50 percent stake in BSH.

Li Zetian thought that Siemens might think about it, but the result was that the other party refused very decisively!

"It was rejected!" Li Zetian's brows furrowed into the word "Chuan".

Li Zetian may not know much about Siemens, the reason why Siemens in the previous life will sell home appliances, there are probably two reasons, first: since 2006, the competition pressure in the home appliance market has been high, and it has entered the era of small profits, even the profit margin of Siemens and other international big brands in the home appliance business is only about 5%; second: Siemens learns from GE, sells its manufacturing business, transforms into a software and data company, and enters the industrial Internet of Things!!

As far as the current situation is concerned, the home appliance market is still profitable, and the industrial Internet of Things has not risen, Siemens, as a manufacturing giant, will naturally not give up decades of home appliance business!

Li Zetian thought about it, and finally stopped the idea of buying Siemens' home appliance business again.

It's 2006, and the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis is approaching, and GE has been busy selling its home appliance business, and I'm afraid Siemens has the same idea...... It's just that in the previous life, everyone was in danger, which company dared to buy their home appliance business?

The reason why Li Zetian wants to acquire Siemens' home appliance business this time is because he wants to develop smart home appliances, but since the other party does not plan to sell, Li Zetian can also wait a little longer.

As a result, Li Zetian no longer paid attention to Siemens, but discussed the company's next development with BMW CEO Norbert Resself.

"Now that Bosch has been successfully acquired by BMW, the next step is to increase investment!"

"Okay, no problem, you invested $25 billion in BMW, and now, BMW has a lot of money!!" Norbert Ressef replied with a smile.

"By the way, Tesla Motors has already registered!" asked Li Zetian.

“ Mr· Li, I was about to tell you this!"

Norbert Reseff smiled wryly, "When I sent someone to register Tesla Motors, I found that there was already a car company in California that had registered Tesla Motors in 2003, but because the company was too small and had not launched a real car, I had not heard of the company......"

When Li Zetian heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, the big guys of BMW are big guys, and they all disdain small companies? But after thinking about it carefully, Norbert Resself was the chairman and CEO of BMW, so how could he have time to pay attention to small companies far away in California...... I don't know how many car companies are born every year, so do you pay attention to it~

In addition, due to the influence of the butterfly effect, Elon Musk is not the Elon Musk of his previous life, and he has not invested in Tesla Motors, which has led to the slow development of Tesla Motors in this life~

Electric vehicles have a smaller environmental impact than traditional cars, and their prospects are widely optimistic, but the technology is not yet mature, so many people are not optimistic about pure electric vehicles, and there are naturally very few people who dare to invest in Tesla Motors. Tesla Motors in this life did not get Elon Musk's investment and help, and it is fortunate that it did not die.

Norbert Reseff then continued: "However, I have already sent someone to buy the American company Tesla Motors, which has been developing electric vehicles since 2003 and has accumulated a lot of technology. ”

"No matter how tortuous the process is, in short, things are done, and this successful acquisition of Tesla Motors is also a small surprise, which can speed up the development of electric vehicles. Li Zetian paused and said with a smile: "Hehe, the combination of electric vehicles + unmanned vehicles should be more selling !!."

"Well, that's true!"
