Text Chapter 749 A backhand move - anti-takeover Volkswagen

Throughout the growth history of corporate giants from all walks of life in the world, mergers and acquisitions are basically unavoidable.

As the most effective means of exaggerated development of enterprises, mergers and acquisitions are definitely the favorite of countless giants, not to mention anything else, let's talk about LVMH Group, which is the first giant of luxury goods achieved by Bernard Arnault, the crazy acquisition and merger of the "snake".

After all, the annexation of one company by another can quickly complete the invasion and penetration of a certain field or market, and the acquisition of Dior by LVMH Group established itself as a top position in the field of perfumery. You must know that Bernard Arnault's acquisition of Dior's perfume brand took a lot of effort, but it turned out that his efforts were not in vain, and the addition of Dior perfume made the LVMH group not timid in the face of Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent and other perfume giants.

This time, Ferdinand Piëch had such an idea, he just wanted to rely on the "supplement" of Huaxia Automobile Group, and then expand the layout of the Volkswagen Group in the whole of China and even Asia. The current Volkswagen Group does not have the status of the future generations at all, after all, they have not yet relied on Shanghai Volkswagen, FAW-Volkswagen and Audi to open up the huge Chinese market. You know, the Volkswagen Group, which has just emerged from the bankruptcy crisis, is not at all a competitor to its German, American and Japanese automotive peers.

BMW, Mercedes-Benz, General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota, Nissan and other auto giants can crush the Volkswagen Group at this time, and even the French Peugeot Group is on a par with Volkswagen. This is also something that cannot be helped, Volkswagen's classic models Beetle, Golf and so on are all in a sluggish sales situation in the market. Moreover, the most important thing is that the Audi brand, which is the most important profit point of the Volkswagen Group in the future, is still in the period of "stealing development" and cannot be used as a pioneer for the Volkswagen Group to conquer the city.

Therefore, the Volkswagen Group has some difficulties in the United States and Europe, let alone in the Asian market, which belongs to Toyota, Nissan, Honda and other Japanese cars. Otherwise, the Volkswagen Group would have taken the initiative to cooperate with SAIC and FAW Group to establish localized Shanghai Volkswagen and FAW-Volkswagen?

You must know what was the situation of the international automobile industry back then? People simply looked down on the Chinese government and the inconspicuous Chinese market, just as Toyota did with Su Zhenbang in the past, and they did not take it seriously at all. At that time, the Chinese side most wanted to cooperate with Toyota, Honda, Nissan and other Japanese auto giants, after all, these Japanese auto giants are also close to China, and many things are easy to communicate. However, at that time, it was the most powerful time for Japan's economy, and almost all of its "master" the United States had to be bought out, so it was strange that it could afford to look down on China, which was just starting out. Therefore, Toyota and other Japanese auto giants directly rejected the olive branch handed out by the Chinese side, so the German Volkswagen picked up a big leak.

Don't think the Germans are good birds? Hehe, remember, they're also big capitalists, big capitalists who are crazy about profit.

However, unfortunately, because of the birth of Huaxia Automobile Company in this life, it directly disrupted the layout of the Volkswagen Group in China, and Shanghai Volkswagen, FAW-Volkswagen and Audi directly became the stepping stones for the rise of Huaxia Automobile Company.

The most important thing is that under the stimulation of Huaxia Automobile Company, China's huge automobile market has shown the tip of its own hideous iceberg. There is no doubt that everyone now knows one thing - the Chinese auto market will become the most important car market in the world in the future, and whoever wins the Chinese market will be proud of the crowd.

However, no one would have thought that it would not be Toyota, Nissan, Honda, and other Japanese auto giants that won the Chinese auto market, nor the three American auto giants such as General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler, let alone Mercedes-Benz and BMW, the two German giants.

It's a local car company that has suddenly risen in China, Huaxia Automobile Company.

So, after seeing the miracles created by Huaxia Automobile in China and Asia, Ferdinand Piëch, chairman and CEO of the Volkswagen Group, set his sights on him.

However, Ferdinand Piëch did not expect that he had already offered a sky-high price of $5 billion, and in the end he was rejected.

It seems that this opponent is a tough bone to gnaw, so Ferdinand Piëch is ready to work hard to nibble on this hard bone at once.

However, the killing of Ferdinand Piëch did not expect that revenge would come so quickly......

It has always been "snatching" things from other people's hands, and today is the first time that someone dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head - to "grab" things from his own hands, and he still wants the "heart" of Huaxia Automobile Company.

It's just that the uncle can't bear it, and the aunt can't bear it!

Without any hesitation, one word, just do it!

Over there, Ferdinand Piëch's new round of offers has not yet come out, and Su Chenyu has already launched a counter-action against the German Volkswagen Group - anti-takeover!

Yes, just like Ferdinand Piëch coveted Huaxia Automobile Company, Su Chenyu said that he has been coveting the German Volkswagen Group for a long time. It's just that Su Chenyu never thought that he would still play the attribute of "greedy snake" on his side, and the German public over there would actually "swallow" himself.

This time, Su Chenyu wants to let the German public understand what it means to "be fucked if rape is not successful".

Without any warning, Su Chenyu started an attack on the shares of Volkswagen in Germany, or that sentence, as long as it is a listed company, Su Chenyu has 10,000 ways for him to kneel down and sing conquest. It's just that this time it's not the well-known X Fund in Europe, but the Tianchen Fund, which has always been famous for its investment, after all, the X Fund has just made such a big fuss in the luxury industry in France and Italy, and the impact of making trouble in Germany is not very good.

Hehe, anyway, Su Chenyu still cares about the "bad influence"? There is no doubt that this guy is a bit of nonsense. In fact, it is not that Su Chenyu is worried that the impact of Fund X is not good, but that he is worried that Fund X will fall into the hands of the German government.

You must know that Germany, as the largest economy on the European continent, is not as "romantic" as France, so I am afraid that the Germans will be unhappy and directly kill the X Fund in Germany. As the culprit who once launched the European currency war, although Germany was not affected in the currency market at that time, it was stabbed by Fund X in the stock market - it is better to keep a low profile.

However, there is no doubt that the stock market is definitely not the main battlefield in deciding a takeover, and it will eventually have to go back to private big deals.

Therefore, Su Chenyu sent a takeover offer to the Middle East oil tycoons, hoping to buy the 10% stake in their hands - yes, the "oil daddy" is one of the major shareholders of the German Volkswagen Group.

As long as he gets the 10% stake in the hands of the "oil daddy", plus the shares he continues to absorb in the stock market, Tianchen Fund will get 15% of the Volkswagen Group's shares, becoming the fourth largest shareholder after the German government of Lower Saxony, the Porsche family and the Piëch family. Don't underestimate the status of the fourth largest shareholder, as long as he works hard to increase his stake to more than 20%, then he will have the status of "too emperor" in the Volkswagen Group.

Quite simply, because the German government has set up a weak "Volkswagen Law" for the Volkswagen Group, the "national car", all Volkswagen Group shareholders who hold 20% of the shares have the right to exercise a veto on major decisions of the company.

This "Popular Law" may seem like nothing, but the German government is quite a "scheming". This is because the Lower Saxony government holds more than 20% of Volkswagen's shares, which means that whoever is in charge of the Volkswagen Group will have to listen to the German government in the end.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Su Chenyu did not expect that the wholly-owned acquisition or holding of the German Volkswagen Group was simply unrealistic, and the veto power of the lower Senkesen state government could directly make all his plans empty talk. However, in the same way, the "Volkswagen Law" also brought him benefits, as long as he holds 20% of the shares of the German Volkswagen Group, then he can be the "emperor" - just veto Ferdinand Piëch's thieving intentions against Huaxia Automobile Company.

However, the idea is good, the "oil dads" are not easy to deal with, after all, the "oil dads" are quite rich and don't care about money at all. As for attacking the industry of the "oil daddy", well, Saudi Arabia is a country owned by others, how do you attack?

Fortunately, the "oil daddy" still has something to ask for, that is, arms sales and investment!

Yes, don't look at the "oil daddies" who are very rich, but they are still very aware of danger in times of peace, for fear that one day Saudi Arabia's oil will run out, or the international oil price will be worthless. Therefore, over the years, "Oil Daddy" has been making all kinds of investments, and Su Chenyu's X Fund can perfectly help them solve this problem.

In addition, the "oil daddy" has another trouble, that is, "arms sales"; although the "oil daddy" has a very good relationship with the United States, Uncle Sam has always guarded against the "oil daddy" -- the most advanced weapons sales have always been searched and picked. There is no way, the American society, where Jews occupy the mainstream elite, must also consider Israel's feelings. If the "oil daddy" weapon is too good and destroys Israel all at once, then the contradiction between the Jews and the Arab world is estimated to really be over.

However, Su Chenyu can help the "oil dads" get the advanced weapons they want, and besides, Israel doesn't care if he dies.

Therefore, under Su Chenyu's "flickering", the oil father decisively succumbed - agreed to sell 10% of the shares of the German Volkswagen Group to Tianchen Fund!

Hehe, next......
