Chapter 319: A Long Way to Go
At 10 o'clock in the morning of the next day, Mu Dong received Li Fu, chairman and president of Jixiang Automobile, in the office of Dadong Express. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Before coming, Li Fu had already collected information about Mu Dong's personal and Dadong enterprises, and this information shocked him.
When he was busy with more than a billion dollars of funds, this young man named Mu Dong had already formed an enterprise group with a total capital of nearly 10 billion.
And all this is only a young man who created it in a year or so.
Li Fu still doesn't know about Dadong Airlines, you know, the registered capital of the airline is 2 billion yuan.
When he saw Mu Dong, although he had already known Mu Dong's age, Li Fu still felt a feeling in his heart.
Young, gentle, sincere, eyes, clean and simple.
Li Fu muttered to himself, it shouldn't be, it is said that the eyes of the person who controls such a large enterprise group should be unfathomable!
Mu Dong doesn't have much of an impression of Li Fu, this man who will make headlines in various media in the future, his impression has long been imprinted in Mu Dong's mind, and his appearance has become unimportant.
In this regard, Liu Datian is a bit similar to Li Fu.
Although this is an era where you can eat with your face, if you have so much money that you can't spend it at all, everyone will pay more attention to your money and automatically ignore your appearance, and by the way, use words like "born with a vision, rich and expensive" to explain. Then call you Daddy X by your last name.
After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, they retreated and began to chat.
It was Li Fu who spoke first: "Mr. Mu, take the liberty to visit, please forgive me." ā
Mu Dong said with a smile: "Mr. Li, as a leader in the national automobile industry, usually wants to invite may not be invited, today the distinguished guests visited, Peng Sheng, I am honored." ā
said this much more than Wang Xinlan's girl, and Li Fu felt very comfortable.
He said with a smile: "The leader is definitely not to talk about, Jixiang Automobile is still very weak now, and it is still trying to grow." ā
Mu Dong waved his hand: "Mr. Li, don't be modest, you are an entrepreneur I have always admired, and the price reduction of domestic joint venture models year after year is largely thanks to private enterprise leaders like you." ā
Li Fu thought for a while and said: "Actually, Jixiang Automobile has been developing very hard over the years, but fortunately, we gritted our teeth and persevered, and we have also made a little achievement." I came here this time to ask, what is Mr. Mu's view on the prospects of the automobile industry?"
Mu Dong thought for a while and said: "I am very optimistic about this industry, with the development of the economy, now the car has entered the lives of ordinary people, which was unimaginable before." Although, with the growth of car ownership, parking difficulties and traffic jams will gradually be exposed, but according to China's economic development law, the automobile industry still has huge room for development, because the vast rural market and urban residents are still very strong demand for secondary car purchases. ā
Li Fu was overjoyed!
Great, it seems that Wang Xinlan is right, this young boss really pays attention to the automotive industry.
He said with a smile: "What Mr. Mu said is right, and I also think that the domestic automobile market is still promising." If Mr. Mu is interested, I would like to ask Mr. Mu, do you think there is any possibility of cooperation between Jixiang Automobile and Dadong Group?"
The drama meat finally came, and Mu Dong said with a smile: "If Mr. Li talks about the acquisition of Vorway by Jixiang Automobile, I think we can really talk about it." ā
Li Fu was not surprised. Jixiang's acquisition of Volway is not a secret in the industry, and ordinary people have heard of it, and people like Wang Xinlan don't know much about the domestic situation.
Jixiang Automobile is worried about Volway, but it is not a day or two, nor a year or two. The dream began as early as 2002, and in September 2007, Volwey's parent company, Ford Motor, was approached through a public relations agency.
Even last year, Jixiang Automobile signed a cooperation framework agreement with Ford, and Jixiang Automobile has also passed the approval of the domestic development and Reform Commission for the acquisition of the business.
Procedurally speaking, everything is now in place, only the east wind is owed.
The east wind is, money!
In fact, Li Fu is not short of money, and the acquired business has been carried out so far, with the background of the blowout of domestic luxury car sales for several consecutive years, many people are willing to participate in this acquisition business and provide financial support.
There are a large number of international consortia and domestic local government agencies.
However, no one's money is so easy to get.
The international consortium is not a living Lei Feng, and after giving money, it is asking for a return. Asking for interest returns in the form of borrowing is the minimum requirement, and even this form is almost no different from learning from Lei Feng to do good deeds.
More often than not, it is a request for shares, a request for earnings, and even a request for a bet.
However, Geely Automobile is a national enterprise, and it has long carried the banner of domestic enterprises to acquire Volway, and it is not appropriate for too much foreign capital to enter.
Domestic government agencies have also extended an olive branch and are willing to invest in the acquisition in the name of state-owned investment companies.
But government money is also difficult to get.
The government's request is, I'll give you money, you have to build a factory with me.
Left hand to right hand, end a good way.
The government invested in the acquisition, and then built a factory here, arranged employment, received tax revenues, and expanded the scale of the industry through the surrounding supporting enterprises, which is a very cost-effective business.
And then the money made by the company, as well as the government, the shareholders.
This model can't be said to be bad, Li Fu can accept it. Or rather, if no other money comes in, it will be his final choice.
And Li Fu is still in contact with many investors, the purpose is to find possible funds with fewer constraints to complete the acquisition.
Li Fu wants to let the commercial acquisition be resolved through commercial means, so as not to get involved in too many government factors. In this way, the industrial layout after the acquisition can be arranged according to market demand and supporting radius, rather than building some production bases that can drive the economic development of a certain place.
In a word, the market decides the plan, or the government decides the plan.
Hearing Mu Dong say that he could talk, Li Fu said with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Mu is really concerned about the automotive industry and knows what we are acquiring, what do you think of this acquisition." ā
Mu Dong said solemnly: "It is of great significance, and there is a long way to go. ā
Kindness?
Li Fu was surprised!
It doesn't matter if this expression is significant, Li Fu has heard a lot of compliments like this.
There is a long way to go, and this word came out of the mouth of the young Mu Dong, which made Li Fu quite surprised.
He hurriedly said: "Mr. Mu, I would like to hear about it." ā
Mu Dong said slowly: "Jixiang Automobile is a domestic enterprise mainly engaged in the production of low-end cars, with a single product line, and compared with Vorway, the technology is also relatively backward.
Li Fu waved his hand again and again, motioning for Mu Dong to continue.
"Volvey, is an internationally renowned luxury car brand, although in recent years in the European and American markets performance has declined, but in the domestic sales performance has risen year after year, which is why Ford is willing to sell Volway to Chinese companies important factors. ā
"If auspicious successfully completed the acquisition, then, how to digest Volway's advanced technical advantages in the later stage has become the top priority, at the same time, the acquisition is bound to bring heavy financial pressure, how to digest and absorb and stand still at the same time, gradually ease the financial pressure, will be the next few years to focus on the matter, so I said, there is a long way to go. ā
Li Fu was even more surprised.
Li Fu is clear about these situations that need to be faced in the future, which is the conclusion reached by the huge team around him, and it is also an important reason why he is looking around for "less restricted funds".
And all this was so surprising to be able to say it from the mouth of the young man in front of him!
This son is not bad! Li Fu sighed in his heart.
After Mu Dong finished speaking, he took a leisurely sip of tea, his performance is basically that, now it depends on whether Li Fu can be tempted.
Of course, Li Fu was moved, and he said slowly: "Mr. Mu, just now you said that we can talk about the acquisition, can I understand that why should we cooperate?"
Of course you can, Mu Dong was overjoyed.
It's too much to pretend to be confused, in fact, Mu is more willing to come up and talk straight to the point, but that will definitely scare Li Fu.
Come on, come on, lack of money, right? I have, how much?
It is estimated that Li Fu will turn around and leave.
Boss Mu pretended to think about it and said: "Mr. Li, I think that Jixiang Automobile is a big deal for everyone who pays attention to the national automobile industry. As it happens, I'm also one of the followers, and if you need some financial help, I think we're very well placed to work together. ā
It's a version of "Do you want money? I have!", but it's a lot better.
Li Fu said with a smile: "Mr. Mu, compared to a huge Volway, Jixiang Automobile is naturally short of money. But as far as the acquisition itself is concerned, we are not short of money, we are lacking the money of our fellow practitioners. ā
That's kind of interesting.
Do you want to invest? If you have similar ideas and the same values, that's fine.
If the concept is different and there are too many constraints, then you are not a fellow believer, sorry!
Mu Dong smiled, Li Fu's caution aroused his respect.
"Mr. Li, you can rest assured that I am committed to becoming your fellow believer. Let's put it this way, you must know the situation of the future company in the United States, I also happen to have an idle amount of money in my hand, if you will, I think, we will have a very solid foundation for cooperation. ā
Li Fu is a little funny, I know that you have money, but a lot of money is not a basis for cooperation.
He smiled: "Oh, I don't know what Mr. Mu means when he talks about a very solid foundation for cooperation?"
Mu Dongdao: "I only invest, I do not seek control, I do not participate in the management of the enterprise, and there are no additional conditions. ā
Li Fu stood up all of a sudden and said loudly: "Mr. Mu, is this true?"
