Because of Ma Wei's "old enmity" with the EU, his every move and every investment strategy will be paid special attention by the EU. It makes sense that the German Porsche suddenly came to France to compete with him for the Bugatti.

It's just that due to the parallel world of 1998, Porsche did not make a hostile takeover of Volkswagen. When the financial crisis arose, Volkswagen was unable to buck the trend and reverse buy Porsche.

So at present, Porsche still belongs to himself, and the German Volkswagen, for the time being, the well water does not interfere with the river water.

Hearing Ma Wei say that he wanted to keep it secret, President Baptiste naturally found it inconvenient to get to the bottom of it, "Okay, Mr. Ma Wei." With about 20 minutes to go, we are almost at the Bugatti headquarters. ”

Two days ago, Baptiste did receive an offer from Porsche. However, for him, he still hopes to cooperate with Ma Wei. Lamborghini, after all, is a good example.

However, it was originally a willing deal, but after the EU intervened, something changed.

When Mavi arrived in the town of Morsem in a Bugatti convoy. He spotted several Porsche 911GTs parked in front of Bugatti's headquarters. Looking at that posture, it seems that everyone has been waiting for a long time.

"Mr. Mavi, let me tell you, two days ago, Porsche approached us Bugatti to negotiate the acquisition. However, it wasn't our ...... who took the initiative to contact them," President Baptiste explained to Mavi in the car in order to clarify the relationship.

"It's okay, President Baptiste. "Mavi knows what is going on and understands Bugatti's contact with Porsche.

At present, Bugatti's property valuation is 535 million US dollars. These include the Automotive Wind Tunnel Laboratory, the Automotive Environment Laboratory, the Automotive Engine R&D Center, and so on.

"Thank you, Mr. Mavi, for your understanding!" Baptiste, afraid that Mavi would misunderstand him. After all, Porsche came to negotiate out of nowhere. It's not that they ask for it.

When the door of the two men was opened by his men, Mavi and Baptiste stepped out of the Bugatti. Then I met the vice president of Porsche Germany, Christian.

Like most German men, Christian has a very serious face, and his strong and stubborn eyes make him look difficult.

"Hello, President Baptiste, I'm Christian of Porsche Germany. How did you think about the $685 million purchase price offered by our company?" asked Baptiste straight to the point.

During the whole process of speaking, he did not glance at Ma Wei, who was standing in front of him. Apparently deliberately pretending not to know him and ignoring him. I want to give Ma Wei a dismount.

"I'm still considering the price, Vice President Christian, can you give us a moment?" replied Baptiste, patiently. If Mavi hadn't sent someone to contact Bugatti, Porsche's $685 million would have been completely tempting.

But timing is very important. Once it is set right, the company's future development will be on the rise. But once you can't step on it, it will usher in eternal silence. This Bugatti can't afford to gamble or lose......

Hearing Baptiste, he also said to think about it. The strong vice president of Porsche, Christian, felt that it was not possible to wait so long. So he simply spoke, in front of Baptiste and Mavi, and said, "Well, I'll tell you the truth, our Porsche designers sent me a ...... overnight last night."

He designed the Bugatti EB118 concept based on the traditional design style of the Bugatti EB110, with popular elements of modern cars. If President Baptiste is interested in this, I have sent someone to print out the drawing, and you can take a look at it. Christian, vice president of Porsche, said with a killer move.

The Bugatti EB118 concept model he mentioned was indeed designed by the company's designers. But it wasn't these two days, but a year or two ago, a car designer who loves Bugatti suddenly came to the inspiration to make this Bugatti EB118 concept model. I want Porsche to bring Bugatti under its umbrella.

But in the end, considering many reasons such as economy, mass production, and efficiency, it was still stranded. Only the blueprints remained...... That's where this comes in handy.

Christian said, signaling his subordinates to unveil the pre-printed EB118 concept car design in front of President Baptiste.

I have to say that the design of EB118 is a little more fashionable than EB110. In many details, it is more in line with the aesthetic values of modern people.

Baptiste, the president of Bugatti, originally did not expect Porsche to make such a move. But when he saw the Bugatti E110 model that had been revitalized by design, his eyes could not be concealed, revealing a faint heartbeat......

"President Baptiste, we at Porsche designed this EB118 concept car. The name was chosen because it will be the world's first supercar with 18 cylinders!", says Christian, Vice President of Porsche, while the iron is hot.

Their acquisition of Bugatti was not just for a political mission. Also commercially, there is a certain value. So it's not deliberately targeted, it's a loss-making deal.

Ma Wei also looked at the design of the Bugatti EB118 in front of him. If he remembers correctly, Volkswagen in his previous life, after the acquisition of the lower Bugatti. The EB118 concept was unveiled in 1998. But in the end, it was just a flash in the pan, and there were no waves at all.

Even later, the "Bugatti Veyron 16.4" released in 2005 was a loss of money! On average, each Bugatti Veyron was sold at a loss of about $3.5 million!

This is all because of its high R&D costs, as well as vehicle design costs, which made Bugatti Veyron "heavily indebted" before it was put into production. finally waited until mass production was launched, and the price was only 1 million euros per unit, and it was sold directly at a loss of three units...... This business made Ma Wei want to shout, it's too loser!

"President Christian, the design of this EB118 of your company is very good. But...... Allow us to think again!" Baptiste, still not immediately agreeing to the acquisition. Although the conditions offered by Porsche are very attractive.

Ma Wei saw all of his performances. As I said before, the models designed by these European sports car companies, Ma Wei has a blueprint in his mind. If anyone goes too far, then he can directly put the car company, all future models. It's all in the present, designed out......
