The industrial family is long-lasting. Like the family that was once stepped on by the deified screw, although they also opened banks everywhere, their family only used the bank as an office, and more energy was spent on investment and industrial development.

It is believed that this family, which focuses on intermarriage, will continue indefinitely, because no matter which industry rises, their family will share the money.

This is a family known to the world as the Sixth Empire, living on a level that ordinary people can't see.

The next day.

Zhang Xingming struggled to get up from the bed, although he was in good health, but the impact of jet lag didn't matter what your body was.

Although it is uncomfortable, I haven't slept enough, but I have to get up, I will adapt to it tomorrow after overcoming it today, if I can't overcome it on the first day, then the next day will be even more finished, Zhang Xingming still understands this truth.

Washing, breakfast.

This time the treatment is different when you go to the restaurant, everyone who sees Zhang Xingming has a real smile on their faces, yesterday Zhang Xingming didn't forget these staff, and made a lot of dumplings for them, although they can't be full, everyone can still do it.

If this is in China, the following service personnel will definitely not be able to take their turn, no share. But in John, the guest's proposition will definitely be put in place, and every staff member here has tasted the magic of Chinese Jiaozi. Delicious.

To put it simply, Europe and the United States belong to pasta countries, just like our southern Henan and western Jinxi, so dumplings as flour products can be quickly accepted by them, but rice and dishes need a transition time. Most of John's recipes are from other countries, but if you look at it, it's all noodles, and the dishes are pure stews like Asan curry.

Anyway, I was crazy about recommending Northeast Rotten Stew to John's people for a while, and they liked it too, but the method was too complicated for them, and it always didn't go right. No tricks. Little Japan's food system is very popular here, one is because of Little Japan's willingness to export culture, and the other is because of its simplicity.

After breakfast, there was nothing to do, and when I went back to the room, everyone got together to chat in a daze. Over there, Xi Shuhui and the investment team began to sort out the information and hold a meeting to prepare for an appointment with the Iron Lady Thatcher.

In the afternoon, people from the Vics Company came to Kailaiqi.

Vicx is the parent company of Double R and took over all the assets and patents of Double R in 1978. But let's be honest, John's state-owned defense equipment group is clearly not very good at running a civilian car company. A reporter from the Daily Mail at the time commented on the incident: "[The merger] is like two counts falling from the upper floor of Annabelle (a nightclub in London's West End), supporting each other and barely getting up."

The reason why they took over the double R was because the founders of the double R family had all passed away and there was no outstanding successor, and the other reason was that the aircraft engines and tank engines produced by the double R were very advanced at that time and belonged to the national heavy weapon.

But the good times did not last long, with the peace of the world situation after the end of the war, the engine company that has been making blood for the double R company is becoming more and more sluggish, and the technical equipment has not been updated, from production capacity to technology are gradually backward, coupled with the economic policy to worsen, the double R is completely unable to make ends meet, and completely relies on the sales volume of the big B company to maintain the operation.

To be honest, in the whole development process of Double R Company, the big B really made great contributions, and even the chassis and suspension were also used by the big B. From the time the car company went bankrupt due to the war in 31 years until it was acquired by Double R until the early 90s, it has been the hematopoietic machine of Double R, used to maintain the vitality of Double R like a broken candle for more than 60 years.

When Mr. Vicx's executive came to Zhang Xingming's suite with a proud face and a typical British mustache, Mr. Peter, who was full of affection for Chinese food, was sitting there talking to Zhang Xingming, and he had come to say goodbye to Zhang Xingming.

Then Zhang Xingming found that this arrogant executive Mr. Vics was actually a little detained in front of the giggling Mr. Peter, and Mr. Peter also put away his always smiling expression and began to be solemn and arrogant. Damn, it's all god acting. But one thing Zhang Xingming is clear, the fame and qualifications of this Balin Bank among the old John nobles are not ordinary.

So after a brief meeting with Vickers, the Norde executive, Zhang Xingming took Mr. Peter to another suite under the pretext of sending each off. "Peter, my friend, do you want to do my business?"

Peter actually had a bit of a heart in his heart when he saw this Nord, and when he heard Zhang Xingming say this, he immediately asked, "Vickers, are you going to buy Vickers?" He shook his head and said, "This may not be a good idea, this is an old gentleman, barely walking, and his heart will stop beating one day." ”

In fact, this was the common situation of the world's large corporations at that time, which were large state-owned companies, because these large companies were almost all born because of the war, and if you look at all the heavy weapons, fighter planes, tanks and warships of the First and Second World Wars, you will see almost all the famous brands. After the war stopped, they naturally went on the path of subsidence over time.

This is how John's Leland Group came into being, and in order to reduce the impact of the post-war economic recession, John's government forcibly reduced the number of companies that had developed during the war.

The Leyland Group includes Austin, MG, Riley, Nuffield, Morris and Olseley in the automotive sector alone, as well as Jaguars and Daimler, Triumph and Rover, including Land Rover. Can you imagine how big a big guy John had to be at that time? And then it was completely finished, and it was still a group.

Because of technical and patent reasons, Double R remained independent at that time. If the double R had also been returned to Leyland at that time, maybe we would have been able to produce it domestically today, haha.

Since 71 years, the engine company that has been relying on the double R to pay for it has also had problems, all the pressure is on the big B, the business state is getting worse and worse, and even the money for the research and development of new models can't be taken out, and finally it can't stand it, so it was sold to the Vicx Group.

However, after Vics took over, he only strengthened the hematopoietic machine of Big B, and there was nothing he could do about the double R itself, which set itself too high at that time, all by hand, and only sold to heads of state. The forced pretending to be big and tearing the eggs were torn.

If you take a closer look at these high-profile international brands, you will find that they are all so staggering along the way, and the reason why they are noble is that Westerners just want to make them noble.

There is no better understanding of these situations in industry than these old banks, so Peter shook his head as soon as he heard what Zhang Xingming said, and during this period, John's bankers were bent on playing finance, playing with higher and higher leverage, indulging in the mentality of getting rich out of nothing, and had little interest in industry.

Zhang Xingming shook it and said with a smile: "No, no, no, my friend, you misunderstood, I am interested in Vicx, not you." I just need your kind help. Double R, Big B, Double R engine, Covacs engine, 100% equity and patents of the four companies, as long as the deal is sold, I will pay the price I should pay for the kind help of my friends, I think it is probably, worth at least 200,000 pounds. ”
