"Mr. Paul, you heard me right. We are the dedicated purchasing arm of Citigroup and if you would like to sell your used piston production equipment. At that time, we will have a professional lawyer group to come to you and sign the contract with you in person. ”

"As for the purchase price of the equipment, the quotation we issued to you here is about 30% of the time when the production line is landed, what do you think?" The female voice on the other end of the phone told the situation in detail.

As for the office, Paul, who was already dancing with excitement, also showed an expression of disbelief at this moment.

"What?"

"Acquisition at 30% of the original price?"

"How can you give such a high depreciation price?" Paul muttered to himself.

You must know that the bosses of several professional tractor pistons have personally come to Paul's factory to inspect the piston equipment in his hands that have been eliminated for three generations.

But the problem is that the price given by the other party is only 15% of the original price.

Unexpectedly, these equipment, which are about to be dismantled, can still be given 30% of the purchase price by Citigroup. This was more than Paul had expected!

"Sell!"

"I agree to sell these lines!" Paul shouted excitedly, for fear that the Citigroup staff on the other end of the phone would regret paying attention.

Such a good opportunity is like a pie falling from the sky, and it's hard to seize it!

After some detailed communication, two lawyers in suits and leather shoes arrived at Paul's piston factory that afternoon with the purchase agreement.

As for the process of acquiring those old piston production lines, Paul, the factory owner, was even more shocked.

Boy!

As soon as the two lawyers entered the door, they didn't ask anything. Just took pictures of those production lines for a while, and then signed an acquisition agreement with the factory director Paul.

As for the payment of nearly $600,000 at 30% of the original price, it was also transferred to Paul's account through bank transfer within a few minutes after signing the contract.

Such a flamboyant acquisition move directly made the staff in the piston factory look stupid!

Is this a purchase of equipment, or a visit to a Walmart supermarket?

You're going to send someone who understands technology to see the production line!

If you buy a pile of scrap iron, won't all the $600,000 be thrown into the water?

But the problem is that the two lawyers here actually received death orders assigned by the above. That is, regardless of the cost, to win the production line in the shortest possible time!

This is the procurement situation that can be called child's play.

……

What happened inside Paul's piston factory also spread through the streets of Detroit.

On this day, all the automobile suppliers who had the production line of old obsolete equipment in their hands received the acquisition intention from Citigroup.

From the headlights of the car to the territory of the car, all the manufacturers that match more than 20,000 parts of the car have received a purchase offer for old equipment that exceeds the market price of about three layers.

That night, Detroit's car suppliers went crazy!

You know, with the former car city declaring bankruptcy, more than 90% of suppliers are desperately trying to lower prices and sell non-performing assets.

These old production lines, which have eliminated 3 generations or even several generations, are the old difficulties in these non-performing assets.

It's okay now, no one cares about it, even if it's an old thing that no one wants to buy one get two free, but a big-bellied man actually ate it all in one bite.

That scene was like ordering a two-kick blow up between the car suppliers, and it was fucking boiling.

"Did you hear that?"

"The cylinder head production lines in the old Pitt factory that are almost rusty have all been bought!"

"What? Just those things, and there are still people who want them?"

"Not only is someone asking for it, I heard that the purchase price is 35% higher than the market!"

"What......? Old Pete's few cylinder head lines, usually no one wants to give them to others!"

"Who knows? Maybe old Pete was lucky enough to go out and step on shit. ”

In a secluded bar in Detroit, several manufacturers engaged in the supply of auto parts are chatting about the interesting things that have happened in the circle for the past half day.

"I heard that a big dog owner entrusted Citigroup to buy it. ”

"Many of the owners of small factories around me have received quotation orders. Now there are a few who have signed contracts and have already packed the equipment and shipped it to the port!"

"Do you know the destinations printed on those containers?"

"It's Huaguo!"

"What? That big dog is Chinese?"

"I'm going to say what kind of idiot would spend that much money on old equipment. It is estimated that the Chinese people bought it back to cope with the manufacture of parts and components of those agricultural machinery, right?"

"Who knows? Now Huaguo is the biggest creditor in our country, and these Chinese people have green dollar bills in their hands, and the premium purchase is really nothing. One automotive supplier said.

"Alas, if only a few old pieces of equipment in my factory could be taken away at a premium. This way, I was able to take my kids on a ski holiday in Switzerland. Another older supplier followed.

Just as everyone was chatting about the lively news in the circle, one of the young suppliers suddenly received a call from Citigroup.

At this time, a few old friends drinking beer at the same table can look at a burst of envy, jealousy and hatred.

"Ladies and gentlemen, here's our chance!"

"The person in charge of Citigroup just said that as long as we have old production equipment in our hands, we can go to them together to ask for a quote. ”

"And the more equipment introduced, the higher the quotation will be given by the other party!" The young supplier shouted excitedly.

As for the car suppliers who sat in the bar, they all began to be unsettled.

"What?

"What are you waiting for! Hurry up and mobilize your relatives and friends!"

As a result, a new wave of procurement has been set off in Detroit's car supply circle!

As for Chen Hao, the initiator, he was lying on the sofa in the MGM Hotel at the moment, looking at the dynamic data sent by Citigroup's purchasing team.

"Citibank's efficiency is really good, and it helped me acquire more than 2,000 survival lines in 3 days. ”

"If I go out by myself, I guess I will break my leg, and I won't be able to deal with so many manufacturers. Chen Hao stared at the reported data and sighed with a satisfied face.

It's still the same old saying!

If you have money, don't say that you can let the ghost push the grind, let the grind push the ghost!

Citigroup, which took Chen Hao's high commission, was almost at full speed, frantically consuming the $10 billion budget that Chen Hao hit the other party's account.

Because in the eyes of the senior management of Citigroup, a customer like Chen Hao who has been wronged can't be found with a lantern.

At this time, it is not the style of these international investment banks to slaughter him in a hurry.

It's just that when those automobile production lines that were packed and shipped to Huaguo began to appear in Chen Hao's [enterprise management] function one by one.

The string of equipment upgrade symbols marked with the green upgrade arrow "↑" really made Chen Hao lie on the sofa and laugh.

Because in the view of Chen Hao, who has the function of strengthening the production line, it is uncertain who will kill whom!
