Chapter 5: Sow Discord!

"What are you trying to do with all this divisive talk? If you don't have anything to talk to me about, please leave, I'm busy, and I still have a lot of work to do. Reitzler said coldly that he didn't want to bring his scars out for people to talk about.

"I don't want to do anything by saying this, I'm just saying this for you!

I don't understand how a person as capable as you can be subservient to a villain like Big, and I sincerely invite you to be the president of our Victor Blackstone Company, and I can give you 10% of the company's shares. Jia Lei looked at Reitzler seriously and said.

"Your Victor Blackstone company is just a leather bag company, do you think I'm going to give up my position as a director of the BMW Group to make you president for it?" Retzler sneered.

"Maybe we're just a leather bag company at Victor Blackstone, but it's not going to be anymore!

Because we are about to buy Rover Motors, based on the market value of Rover Motors of nearly 800 million pounds, 10% of Victor Blackstone's shares are worth 80 million pounds, which is a huge sum of nearly 160 million US dollars. Jia Lei said.

"Ridiculous! We and British Airways have already signed a letter of intent to buy Rover Motors, so how could you possibly buy Rover Motors?" Reitzler said incredulously.

"I'm not ridiculous at all! You can take a look at this first, and then you can tell me if the BMW Group will buy Rover Motors ...... other countries," Jia Lei finished speaking, and took out some of the information he brought and handed it to Reitzler.

"This ...... Where did you get all this stuff from?" Reitzler asked in shock as he flipped through the materials.

"Of course I hired someone to investigate at Rover Motors!

While your new president, Mr. Breed, was busy attending a banquet for the British government and celebrities, I hired several investigators and made a lot of connections to investigate Rover, and I got the data from Louvre insiders.

You know, the acquisition of Rover Motors is a big case of nearly $2 billion, how can I come up with such a large amount of money to invest without doing some research in advance!" Jia Lei explained.

"Squeak!" Retzler squeezed the folder in his hand as he heard this, and the blue folder immediately made an overwhelmed sound.

"Are you saying that when he was talking to the British about the acquisition of Rover Motors, he never sent anyone to the factory below to investigate the actual situation of Louvre?, and where did the evaluation report he submitted to the board come from?" Reitzler asked incredulously.

"I know that, but I see that the data on your acquisition seems to be exactly the same as what the British government has provided us, and maybe the president trusts British Airways and the government! Jia Lei said with a smile.

"That's ridiculous, no, I'm going to report it to the chairman and the other directors right away!" Retzler said, standing up anxiously.

"Well, that's a good idea......" Jia Lei nodded approvingly.

"Since you think so too, then I can't accompany you! I'm going to go to the chairman of the board of directors and leave first, please take care of yourself." Reitzler said.

"Wait! I'll go with you. Jia Lei stood up and said.

"Young Master Jia, the matter of acquiring Rover Automobile Company is an internal matter of our BMW Group, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to go along, right?" Reitzler said with a frown.

"What's the matter, do you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge just after you got my information?" Jia Lei asked him.

"This has nothing to do with the information, you are really not an outsider to participate in the internal discussions of our BMW Group board of directors? Reitzler refused with a cold face, saying that no one wanted his company to be watched by outsiders for such a humiliating thing.

"Hey...... if you really don't want me to see your chairman, forget it, I originally prepared a big gift for Mr. Stephen Quandt, if I can't see anyone, I'll take it back......" Jia Lei spread his hands and said, Novan immediately handed him a black folder with interest.

"What's in this document in your hand?" Reitzler asked excitedly when he heard Jia Lei say this.

"This is a gift I have prepared for Mr. Stephen Quandt, I can't show you until he sees it, and if you want to know the exact contents of this document, let Stephen Quandt tell you himself. Jia Lei said with a smile.

"This ......," Reitzler was stunned when he heard this.

Mr. Stephen Quandt did not like him, and the people of the Quandt family preferred to discuss matters with Breed, and perhaps in the end he did not know what was written in this document.

"If you're willing to lead me to the chairman's office, you might be able to know the details of this document, after all, I'm going to have a good discussion with Stephen Quandt about it!" Jia Lei said with a smile.

Jia Lei's bait has been put down, just waiting for the fish to take the bait.

"Let's go! I'll take you to Mr. Stephen Quandt. Reitzler said with a straight face.

*****

"I don't know what happened to Young Master Jia, why did you suddenly come to Berlin to visit me?" Stephen Quandt looked at Jia Lei and asked puzzled.

"I'm here to give a big gift to the BMW Group and the Quandt family and to give you a heads up, and to make friends with Stephen Kuang again. After all, everyone is in the business field, and it's better to have one more friend than one more enemy!" Jia Lei said with a harmless smile on his face, he didn't look a little aggressive now.

"What kind of gift did you give us to the BMW Group?" asked Stephen Quandt, puzzled.

"Mr. Quante, this is the great gift that Young Master Jia gave us. Reitzler handed the information Jia Lei had given him to Stephen Quandt, who looked at it in confusion.

"This ...... Is any of this true?" asked Stephen Quandt, looking at the information, incredulous.

"Anyway, your BMW Group is about to accept Rover Motors, can you check for yourself whether these things are real or not?" Jia Lei said.

"Since you have said so, Young Master Jia, then I will assume that these materials are true!, but I have a question in my heart that I would like to ask Young Master Jia to answer?" asked Stephen Quandt as he closed the folder.

"If you have any questions, just ask! Jia Lei replied very generously.

"You, Victor Blackstone, have always been enemies as a competitor to our BMW Group in its acquisition of Rover Motors.

I don't believe it, are you really just here to be friends with us in the Quartet family and remind us of the little things that the British in the BMW Group are doing behind their backs?" asked Stephen Quandt.

"Of course, I'm not just doing this to be friends with the Quandt family, in fact, I still haven't given up on buying Rover Motors, and we're still competitors.

I didn't have any good intentions to send you the information, and it would be great if you BMW Group read the information and therefore withdrew from the acquisition of Rover Motors.

Even if you don't quit the competition, the BMW Group and the Quandt family will owe me a favor after they get this information, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone. Jia Lei said frankly.

"Huh...... , Young Master Jia, you can earn such a big family business at a young age, you are really not a simple character!

But I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed this time, even if the British government and Rover Motors are doing these things behind our backs for the BMW Group......" Stephen Quandt paused before gritting his teeth and continuing.

"We will not give up on the acquisition of Rover Motors, after all, our acquisition is aimed at Land Rover, Mini and the entire UK market!

We will discuss the information you have provided to us in detail with British Airways in the following negotiations. Stephen Quandt sneered, and Jia Lei could hear from his tone that he wanted to tear the British apart.

"Don't be too sure of what you say, Mr. Quandt, you should listen to what this information says before deciding whether to give up the acquisition of Rover Motors!

Mr. Reitzler, could you please read this information to Mr. Reitzler for me?" Jia Lei said with a smile, and then he handed Reitzler the important information he had been holding in his hand.

"This ...... Where did you get all this stuff from?" Reitzler asked in shock as he flipped through the materials.

"What's the matter with Retzler, what's written on this document?" asked Stephen Quandt, frowning.

According to the information, since the birth of the mini model in 1959, this car has never been really profitable for more than 30 years.

And due to the unreasonable pricing of the mini, the slow progress of research and development, and the huge cost, the mini car has been losing money for 30 years or even every year. Reitzler read it in such a difficult tone that he even thought he was reading a joke.

Before that, everyone thought that the mini was a very popular and very popular car brand, but no one ever thought that such a best-selling car brand would lose money.

"Ridiculous! By the standards of the automotive industry, an automaker should have recouped all the R&D costs in the third year of launching a new product, but it's a joke that the mini has been selling well for 30 years and hasn't recouped the cost. Stephen Quandt said angrily, and he slammed the table in anger.

"Mr. Stephen Quandt, I advise you to be calm and continue listening!

If you can't stand this anymore, then I'm afraid the following things will make you even more uncomfortable. As a friendly reminder, if you have a heart condition, I recommend that you take care of your rescue beforehand. Jia Lei kindly reminded him.

"No, I'm going to hold on!" Reitzler, you keep reading!" said Stephen Quandt through gritted teeth.

The data also says that the brand loyalty and customer repurchase rate of Land Rover and Mini are only at the industry average in the UK, but the brand loyalty of these two brands outside the UK is miserable!

In European countries such as Germany, Spain and France, the brand loyalty of Land Rover and Mini is almost zero, and almost no one buys either car once and then buys back these two brands. Reitzler swallowed and foamed.

"Bang!" Stephen Quandt finally couldn't help but sweep the pen holder on the table to the ground.

"Someone, go and get me Breed at once! I'm going to ask him if he really did any serious investigation and evaluation of Rover Motors before he signed the letter of intent to buy Rover Motors?" said Mr. Stephen Quandt angrily.

"Ahem, Mr. Quart, if you want to teach Mr. Bi Ruide a lesson, can you let me avoid it first? After all, I sent these materials, and I also typed the small report, and if President Bi Ruide saw me here, he would definitely hate me!" Jia Lei had to remind Stephen Quandt.

"I'm sorry, Young Master Jia! I was so angry just now that I forgot about this, and I can't separate myself to receive you now, so I can only let Reitzler see you off on my behalf. Would you mind?" asked Stephen Quandt.

"I don't mind! Actually, I like Mr. Reitzler very much, and I just invited him to our company as president.

It's a pity that Mr. Reitzler's heart has always been with the BMW Group, and he won't want to jump to work with us, even if I give him a higher position and shares in the company!" Jia Lei said regretfully.

"Oh, is there such a thing?" Stephen Quandt looked up at Reitzler with reddened eyes, and then an inexplicable emotion flashed in his eyes.

"Mr. Quandt, I really never thought of changing jobs, I've turned him down!" Retzler quickly explained.

"Let's talk about what Retzler has later, you better help me send Young Master Jia out first!" Stephen Quandt waved his hand and said impatiently, Reitzler had to take Jia Lei and leave first.

*****

"Young Master Jia, I really don't know why you want to say that kind of thing in front of Mr. Quandt, haven't I already rejected you?" Reitzler asked as he looked at Jia Lei with a headache on the road.

"Haven't you seen it yet? I'm sowing discord?" Jia Lei said generously.

"What do you mean by sowing discord?" Reitzler asked, puzzled.

"I've heard that the former president of the BMW Group, von Kinheim, once told people that the reason why he didn't let you take over the position of president of the BMW Group was because you wavered when Porsche invited you to become president, and in the end he asked you to take over the position of president of the BMW Group.

Von Kinheim said that he was not comfortable handing over the BMW Group to someone who had a heart of "betrayal"! So he recommended Pyrrhide to be the new president of the BMW Group instead of you. Jia Lei said.

"You know, Porsche was the first car company to offer shares to its employees, and the market value of Porsche is enough to make me rich overnight! Who wouldn't be tempted by such a good thing?" Reitzler said with a wry smile.
