Chapter 436: Porsche vs Volkswagen

Volkswagen of Germany also knows that the current efficiency of its own company is not very good. It's also a matter of time before it is acquired. But what they don't mind is that the government backs Porsche behind its back, and then uses this nasty tactic to bypass the board of directors and make a hostile takeover. It made the public board very annoyed.

And in the past three years, they have been silently enduring Porsche's arrogance and arrogance. Such unscrupulous destruction of their self-esteem and glory.

"Oh, that's it, let's arrange a meeting. Ma Wei laughed a little. It seems that in this war of the century, there is a chance for him to intervene. I just don't know how the German government, as well as Porsche, will obstruct him when the time comes......

"Understand, young master, I'll send someone to contact them. "Ivan, the butler, respectfully lead the way out. He watched Ma Wei rise step by step, and he had a very deep feeling.

A week later, Mavi arrived in Wolfsburg, Germany, on a special plane to meet with the board of directors of Volkswagen. His visit this time, although it kept a low profile. But it could not escape the surveillances of the German authorities. From the very beginning of the private jet application route, it was in the sights of the Germans.

"Young master, the black sedan over there belongs to the German Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution. Do you want us to stop them later?" said Ma Wei, who had just stepped off the plane, and the Russian bodyguard, who was in charge of his personal safety, stepped forward to report.

After listening, Ma Wei glanced at the black car. Germany's Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, as its name suggests, is a legal institution. It is mainly responsible for the internal security intelligence work of Germany, and is responsible for monitoring certain violations of basic norms such as freedom and democracy that appear within the German Confederation.

So Ma Wei naturally became an important target for them. It's just that the Germans don't dare to act rashly with his goal. After all, Ma Wei has never done anything illegal, he is a very clean businessman, and he has never even evaded taxes.

If anyone dares to blatantly move him, let alone Russia, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom, they will jointly launch a counterattack. Maybe even some other countries will respond accordingly. For example, they also arrested German businessmen in the country, and put pressure on the German government by arresting as many as they could.

"Leave them alone, just follow them if they want. Mavi has long been accustomed to this kind of EU surveillance. Since Brexit, the EU's hostility towards him can be said to be increasing day by day. But there is nothing that can be done about him.

Five minutes later, Mavi rode a motorway to the headquarters of Volkswagen in Germany. And the vehicles of the German Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, which were tracking them, also tracked them all the way there. And immediately report the relevant situation to the superior.

"Boss, the Russian went to Volkswagen headquarters, and I guess he probably wanted to get involved in Porsche's acquisition of Volkswagen. The intelligence officer of the Security Bureau, watching.

"The Russians want to intervene in the Volkswagen acquisition?" the superior leader showed a hint of condensation after hearing this. If Ma Wei destroys the Volkswagen acquisition plan, it will definitely be a big blow to the German car company.

Compared with 1995, Germany's GDP data in 2003 is at a downward trough. In order to get out of this decline, the German government has come up with a series of incentives.

So at such a critical juncture, they will not allow Russian businessmen like Mavi to go to their own country to buy established companies.

It's a pity that in order to maintain the country's image, the German government cannot clearly target an international businessman. You need to act in the dark and keep things secret.

"Keep watching, report to me anything he has ever done. After the superior leader gave the order, he immediately reported the news to the higher-ups.

I have to say that the current Comrade Ma Wei is really awesome. Every move involved the intelligence services of Germany, and even the whole of Europe, and they were busy. To this extent, it can already be regarded as a major "scourge" of Europe.

At the same time, Ma Wei, who had become a scourge, was escorted by bodyguards into the Volkswagen headquarters. Then the public board of directors, who had been waiting in the hall for a long time, stepped forward in suits to welcome him.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Mavi, it's a pleasure to meet you. Volkswagen's chairman, Louis, shook hands with Mavi in German English and greeted him.

The hostile takeover of Porsche, combined with the government's indifference, has left Volkswagen on the verge of isolation. Banks and banks are reluctant to lend to them, and some other enterprises that have cooperated with them are also unable to help.

At the critical moment, only Mavi, a Russian, was willing to step forward. This gave Volkswagen a glimmer of hope.

"Hello, Mr. Louis, I have heard about the current situation of your Volkswagen company, and it seems that there is something not optimistic. The two sides didn't talk to each other for long, and Ma Wei went straight to the topic, wanting to hear what kind of attitude the board of directors has towards the current situation.

"Well, yes, Mr. Mavey, you also know that Porsche AG is taking over our Volkswagen hostilely. And their funds are much stronger than ours, so it has become what it is now...... "Chairman Louis did not beat around the bush and told the truth generously.

After all, he knows that Ma Wei is also an insider, and the group has strong brands such as Lamborghini, Bugatti, and Maserati. Even Ferrari didn't dare to underestimate him.

Hearing that the other party was so calm, Ma Wei nodded slightly, and then asked, "How many shares does Porsche currently hold in Volkswagen?"

"At the moment they have a 71.4% stake, and once they get to 75%, they will have access to the cash reserves of our Volkswagen. In other words, by that time, the winner will be completely decided......" Chairman Louis replied with bitterness.

In the past three years, they have been swallowing their anger and being pressed by Porsche. Including the bank, they also gave Porsche a lot of loans. If there is no intention of the German government, no one will believe it.

"There's still 3.6 percent, which is good news and at least there's hope. Ma Wei said with humor.

After hearing this, Chairman Louis couldn't help but show a wry smile. It is true that there is still a glimmer of hope for Volkswagen, but there is really only a glimmer of hope, and it is a very slim glimmer.

"Mr. Mavi, don't be sarcastic. Tell me about the purpose of your visit to Germany this time, do you just want to see how we Volkswagen were completely acquired by Porsche?"
