Chapter 116: Intention to Collaborate

"It was a pleasure to work with. ”

"It was a pleasure to work with. Rest assured, Mr. Seferosa, I will convince them. Now the board is eager to sell Land Rover, trust me. ”

"Of course I believe you. Sir, if I hadn't believed you, I probably wouldn't be sitting here right now. ”

"Hahaha!"

“……”

Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, New York.

The Plaza Hotel has a meeting room inside.

Abel smiled and shook hands with an old man who was now the CEO of British Aerospace.

They have just discussed the possibility of Abel buying Land Rover from British Aerospace Group.

Land Rover Motor Group has developed until now, and it has fallen into a difficult situation. With the development of the times, people in this era generally love sedans and hate off-road vehicles. Off-road vehicles, also known as multi-purpose vehicles, will not become the mainstream of the world until many years later, with the rise of the ancient Chinese country.

Land Rover, as the benchmark for off-road vehicles, will of course have an increasingly difficult time during this time. It must be after the economic rise of China and everyone can afford to buy a car, Land Rover, as a symbol of the rich and rich, relies on a Chinese market to resurrect.

But at that time, it had little to do with the British, and this old British car brand, at that time, belonged to the former British colony Indians.

Compared to selling to Indians cheaply in the future, the current Land Rover is a little proud. Three years ago, Land Rover was on the verge of bankruptcy, and the board of directors of Land Rover at the time wanted to sell it to foreigners, only to be blocked by Parliament and the British government.

Proud-stirring sticks.

They don't want their proud car brand to fall into the hands of foreigners. But the arrogant empire will continue to decline for the next 30 years, and in 30 years it will only become a broken country.

They can't keep the Land Rover.

For more than 20 years, Land Rovers were sold from place to place, eventually to their former slaves.

It's a bit ironic.

Because of the blockade of parliament and the people, British Aerospace had to take over the mess. But people didn't make cars in the first place, and in the hands of British Aerospace Group, Land Rover cars are still decaying, and if you want to see it, you will smash it in your own hands.

British Aerospace certainly does not want to.

They're also paid for it, right? Parliament and the people of Britain won't give them a dime!

So.

If you can sell it.

They were definitely the first to like it, and they were even satisfied if they were able to recoup their costs. Because if Land Rover continues to be in their hands, it can only continue to lose money. After more than two years of taking over, I have lost tens of millions of pounds.

This time it was sold to Abel.

The likelihood of success is much higher than it was three years ago, because three years ago I wanted to buy a book and a German. These two countries, one is one of their biggest rivals in Europe, and the other is that they envy and hate the second largest economy in the world, which is now economically powerful.

The parliament and the population do not want to sell to them.

But now it's Abel who wants to buy it, as we all know - after the end of World War II, England has changed from the old American brother to the American little brother in a few decades, just an old cousin.

Sell your own old watch.

Although the Britons may be reluctant, holding on to that trace of imperial reluctance, it is more or less possible.

What is now preventing Abel from getting Land Rover cars is the unwillingness of this last trace of imperial afterglow.

Now it depends on how determined the British Aerospace Group is to sell the Land Rover Motors Group.

Anyway, the price given by Abel is very sincere, if they sell it now, not only will they not lose money, but they will also be able to make a small profit.

Far more than in the next few months.

It's much more profitable to work with one.

This is all done with the help of Goldman Sachs, who has a lot of business, and they do a lot of services like this kind of intermediary.

There is a Gao Sheng endorsement.

Both Abel and British Aerospace will feel a certain amount of trust in the possibility of this deal.

The two parties cannot be said to have completed the transaction now, and Mr. President needs to return to Britain and pass the approval of the parliament before he can officially make a deal with Abel.

Now it can only be said that a temporary letter of intent has been signed between the two parties, and if British Aerospace wants to sell to foreigners, then the first one will only be Abel.

And Abel believed.

Few people in Britain are willing to buy Land Rover Group now, and they can't even keep Rolls-Royce and Bentley, so they are still in the mood to care about the life and death of Land Rover.

After shaking hands with each other and saying goodbye.

Abel faced two of Goldman Sachs' personnel who remained, one was his full-time Goldman Sachs manager, John Smith. The other is one of Goldman Sachs' partners and one of the financial directors, Hamilton.

"Mr. Sephorosa. Congratulations, I believe you will soon be able to get the company you want!" John Smith said happily, of course he will be happy, because in less than three days after knowing Abel, he has already earned about 300,000 US dollars in agency fees and service fees on Abel, which is still taken by the company, or it is higher.

made such a lot of money.

He now of course thinks of Abel as his God.

"Haha. It hasn't worked out yet, although the odds are high. But before I get it, who can say that I can get it?! Haha......" Abel said with a smile.

"The odds are pretty high. I've looked up Land Rover's information, and they're having a hard time right now. Hamilton said slowly, very gentlemanly: "The year before last, in 1988, they lost £8 million. Last year, because of the launch of the new car, it was a little better, but it still lost more than 3 million pounds. This year, the world car market is even more sluggish, and their life is even more difficult. ”

"I believe it. ”

He said.

"They're going to want to make a move. ”

"I hope so. ”

Abel shrugged and smiled.

"So...... Next. Mr. Sephorosa, what are your plans? Do you want to take a walk around New York, or do you want to do something else? I'm on Long Island, and I'm having a nice cocktail party tonight, and it's also from the top of Wall Street. ”

Hamilton said with a smile.

"Of course, this time it won't break the bank. Tonight's reception was just a relaxing and happy reception, there would be no auction and no charitable donations!"

Abel thought for a moment.

But he shook his head and refused.

"I'm not a financial professional, I'm not going to be on Wall Street," he laughs. It's enough to have Gao Sheng, I'm a businessman, and I want to make money. So ......"

"If you can. ”

Abel brings up the small wrecking ball.

After checking some of today's financial information, he smiled and said to the two elites of Goldman Sachs:

"I want to go to Gao Sachs again to have a look, so that there are any stocks or futures that can be speculated, and then make a lot of money. ”

"Oh!"

Hamilton had a good laugh.

"Absolutely!"

"No problem!"
