Due to the extreme lack of cooperation of the Honda Group, the BMW Group had to raise the purchase price of Rover Motors again in order to impress the Honda Group.

"Jia Lei, how much money can BMW spend on Rover in the end?" asked the little Jew.

"I can't guess the final price, but I'm sure the final purchase price will never exceed £1 billion, and any more BMW will have to break its funding chain. Jia Lei said.

"Oh no, no? BMW is a world-class company, how can it not even come up with a billion pounds?" asked the little Jew in disbelief.

"The so-called large companies fight for market value rather than cash flow, and most of BMW's assets are fixed assets and brand production lines, and their annual net profit is only two or three billion US dollars.

And this money has to be cut out of dividends to shareholders, so BMW does not have much cash at its disposal in the end!

In fact, the best way to acquire such a large acquisition is to cross-sharehold, but unfortunately the British government is now eager to get rid of the mess of Rover Motors, so BMW can only use cash to buy Rover Motors, which is not a small amount of money. Jia Lei said.

"Don't you think these world-class companies are very powerful, and don't they make much money as the two of us?" said the little Jew with disdain.

"Little Jew, I think you really don't know about business, can those who engage in finance compare with those who engage in industry?

Stocks and futures have historically been the fastest way to get rich, and of course it's also the fastest way to go bankrupt, otherwise how could Wall Street bankers be so sought after?

Isn't it because they have money!

Getting rich overnight like ours is rare in the mall, and it's like buying a lottery ticket and winning the jackpot.

There are too many elements of luck in speculating in futures to make money, usually those small fights you can earn 100 million US dollars a year, which is so easy to encounter such a national-level exchange rate competition?

If I hadn't opened it for you in advance this time, you wouldn't want to earn a penny?

You still look down on the world's top 500 companies, your face is too big!" Jia Lei rolled his eyes and said.

"This ...... Didn't I think it was too easy for you to make money, that's why I thought it was so easy for others to make money. The little Jew muttered quietly.

"Smack!" Jia Lei knocked him angrily.

"Didn't I say it all, I'm open! How can ordinary people compare with me? We are cheating, you know? So we have to keep a low profile, a low profile, and a low ......profile," Jia Lei told him.

"Hmm...... , Jia Lei, what is the meaning of open hanging?" the little Jew asked.

"Hmm...... The word means I have inside information, haha...... You also know that I have always been in contact with the special operations team in Beijing when I speculated in futures, otherwise how could I have such an accurate grasp of the exchange rate? Jia Lei snorted and said, this excuse is still perfect.

"But I still don't understand, why keep a low profile when we make money from speculating in futures?" asked the little Jew.

"Futures are a zero-sum game, which means that all the money we make comes from Wall Street and other futures companies. We got rich overnight this time, but do you know how many people went bankrupt because of gambling with us?

We have a lot of enemies, do you want everyone to know that we did this village? How many enemies do you want to add to yourself?" Jia Lei asked speechlessly, the little Jew heard that the situation was so serious, so he was honest.

"By the way, Jia Lei, do you think Nobuhiko Kawamoto can really mess up BMW's acquisition of Rover Motors?" asked the little Jew.

"If BMW is the only option for the British, Mr. Kawamoto will certainly not be able to stop it, but if we add it, the result will not be certain. Jia Lei said.

"But I still don't understand how you are going to mess this up, because BMW and British Airways have already negotiated the terms of the acquisition, and they are close to signing a contract. Little Jew asked.

Have you ever heard of beating the water dogs? Since the British government was blocked by Soros last year, its international standing has deteriorated greatly from what it used to be.

Recently, several Commonwealth countries have begun to fight for independence, and now the British economy has begun to decline!

Now that Britain is in the midst of internal and external troubles, we dare not add new troubles to ourselves, as long as we cooperate well with Mr. Honda, BMW's acquisition of Rover Automobile Company will definitely be yellow. Jia Lei said.

"And how are we going to cooperate?" asked the little Jew.

"You can go to Mr. Charles later, and I'll go to my uncle, and we'll let them drag the relationship to the Ministry of Trade and Industry of Country Y, and let the British government delay this merger and acquisition." Jia Lei said.

"What do you mean by the Ministry of Trade and Industry, does BMW's acquisition of Rover have anything to do with the British government?" asked the little Jew.

"Of course, Rover Automobile Company is one of the few large factories in the UK, and its acquisition is related to the work and welfare of tens of thousands of British workers, and this is still a cross-border acquisition, and the Ministry of Foreign Trade is also going to intervene.

There are too many people who interfere in some things, and it will be chaotic, and besides, the workers of country Y like to march and demonstrate the most, and if BMW does not get it right, it will be in big trouble!" Jia Lei rolled his eyes and said.

"Jia Lei, you are really bad! Why is there so much black water in your stomach? How can this bad idea come when you open your mouth?" The little Jew couldn't help but shudder and asked, I don't know why his cold hair stood up after listening to Jia Lei's plan.

"You are talking nonsense, how can a child like me be so innocent and cute that he has a bad stomach!

These ideas are all from newspapers and books, but in fact, these methods are very old-fashioned, and they are all rotten methods used by large multinational conglomerates during mergers and acquisitions, which is really not unusual. Jia Lei hurriedly shook his head and said.

Jia Lei wants to be a righteous protagonist with a golden finger, so he doesn't want to be a villain boss with a bad stomach!

You're going to die a terrible death......

Jia Lei's prediction was good, Nobuhiko Kawamoto, a little man, was really powerful, even if BMW raised the purchase price to 700 million pounds, Honda Group still did not agree to the acquisition.

In order to get the support of the British government, BMW had to put forward more favorable acquisition conditions, such as-

"What are you talking about? British Airways offered to make us take on Rover Motors' £20 million book debt and £70 million off-balance sheet debt?

How is this possible? Shouldn't these debts have been included in the purchase price in the first place? Why do we have to pay for them?" asked BMW President Frank Brown in disbelief.

That's exactly what they said, and it's the latest condition from the British Department of Industry and British Airways. Simpson said with a wry smile.

"That's too expensive, isn't it? You know that it adds up to almost 800 million pounds? That's more than 1.6 billion dollars, do you think Rover Motors is worth the price?" asked BMW's Brittle.

"Rover Motors is certainly not worth the price, but my Land Rover is worth the price!

You should not have forgotten that not long ago, Rover Motors sold Jaguar for $2.4 billion, and if Rover Motors is willing to sell the Land Rover brand alone, it can sell at least $3 billion.

What's more, in addition to Land Rover, there is also a mini in this acquisition, and the two of us together are worth at least four or five billion dollars, right? This condition put forward by the British government is not excessive!" Simpson said, as an Englishman, his heart is still towards his compatriots.

"Yes...... I'll admit that Land Rover is worth the price, and even the mini is worth a lot of money, but the price you're asking for is so high that we need to think about it. Bi Ruide said while wiping the cold sweat on his head.

"I think it's cheap enough, what else are you considering? I heard that there seem to be other people who are interested in Rover Motors lately, and you BMW better move faster, otherwise I'm afraid it will change later?" Simpson said with a frown.

"There are other people who are interested in Rover Motors? It can't be, is it? As far as I know, whether it's GM, Ford, or Volkswagen. It doesn't seem like it's possible to buy your Rover Motors now, right?" said Bitter in disbelief, thinking that the British were just trying to raise the price.

"This new buyer is very mysterious, and I don't know where they came from! But they must be very rich and well-connected, and it is said that they have the shadow of the nobles of the House of Lords behind them, so we better be careful. Simpson said.

"I'll report back to the headquarters what you said, but if you want to raise the purchase price so much, I have to go back to the German headquarters to hold an interim board meeting, and I can't do it alone!" replied Breed.

"Then you have to move quickly, I always have a bad premonition! Honda has not moved, this is very wrong......" Simpson said.

"Honda Group? Then we should really be on guard, after all, Honda's strength is not weak, almost on par with our BMW. Breed nodded.

After this negotiation, he returned to the BMW Group headquarters in Germany to hold an interim board of directors, but unfortunately he did not know that he had just left Honda.

Country Y's ambassador to Tokyo brought bad news to London, with the island nation car companies led by Honda and Nissan warning country Y not to let BMW buy Rover, otherwise the island nation consortium would reduce its investment in the UK.

You must know that the island country was the second largest economy in the world at that time, and the devastated Britain needed this foreign capital to make up for its own losses.

In order to ease relations with the island consortium, British Airways temporarily suspended BMW's acquisition of Rover Motors, as soon as the news came out, it seemed to slap BMW and Breed in the face.

"Huh...... , Mr. Kawamoto did a great job this time!" Jia Lei said proudly after seeing the news in the newspaper.

"Jia Lei, I don't think BMW will give up so easily, after all, they have always been bound to buy Rover Motors!" asked the little Jew.

"Of course, BMW will not give up so easily, but once something rises to a political perspective, then the negotiation cannot be done in a day or two.

BMW may have to hemorrhage this time to buy Rover Motors, so let's wait for them to negotiate the contract before making a move. Jia Lei said.

"Huh, Jia Lei, why don't we strike first and negotiate a contract with the British government before BMW?" asked the little Jew puzzled.

"Fool, do you know how cumbersome it is to negotiate a contract for a big merger like this? It would take at least a team of hundreds of people to work for months on end to come up with a framework for an agreement.

Then the two parties have to argue with each other on the terms of this agreement framework for a month or two, and finally determine the final acquisition contract!

Do you think we can handle this kind of large-scale acquisition agreement with the two of us, my team is the size of a private investment group, and this kind of large-scale merger and acquisition case needs to be handled by international law firms, accounting firms and professional valuation agencies.

The lawyer's fees alone cost hundreds of millions of dollars, so why don't we let BMW do all this time-consuming and laborious work for us?" Jia Lei rolled his eyes and said.

"Hmm...... , Jia Lei, I think you should really change your name, you shouldn't be called Jia Lei in your life, but you should be called Iron Rooster!

I've never seen anyone who plans to fight as well as you......" said the little Jew speechlessly.

"What's the matter! You're not happy to save you money? You know, this acquisition was done by the two of us in partnership, and the money I saved is equivalent to the money I saved for you.

If you're not satisfied with my plan, then you can hire someone to negotiate yourself?" Jia Lei said angrily.

"Don't, don't let me do this kind of thing, I'm a department manager in a shipping company and can't manage the 180 people under my command, and now you actually let me talk about such a big merger and acquisition ...... all at once." How is this possible!" Little Jew quickly refused.

"You unassuming thing, you're afraid of even such a little thing! How are you going to inherit the Victor Group in the future? I should really suggest that Mr. Charles throw you out and exercise well. Jia Lei hated that iron could not become steel.

"What are you kidding? My grandfather has so many sons and grandchildren, do you think it is my turn to inherit the Victor Group?" said the little Jew, rolling his eyes.

"The shipping company should be yours, right? As far as I know, the shipping company is a limited inheritance, and you should really learn how to be the leader of a large enterprise now." Jia Lei said.

"I don't study, I think it's good now! When I'm fine, I'll be lazy with you and make a little money! In case I really take over the shipping company in the future, I'll hire a few CEOs to help me manage the company like you. Little Jew said.

"Hey, I hired the CEO to help me manage the company because I was too young to manage it myself, so I wasn't lazy? Jia Lei said.
