Chapter 201 100 Porsche, Acquisition of Technology
Professor Yang was very happy to receive Wang Jun's call.
Wang Jun can almost be said to be the top academic talent he has excavated, Wang Jun is successful, he also has a good reputation as Bole, and it also has a bonus effect on the leader of the physics department.
So, he jokingly said, "Professor Wang, what's the matter with looking for me, an old man, early in the morning?"
Wang Jun also smiled and said, "Professor Yang, don't play with me." How dare I pretend in front of you, I have something to do with you!"
Professor Yang smiled dryly: "Hehe, okay, if you have something, as long as I can help, I will definitely not say anything!"
Both of them are busy people!
Wang Jun also said directly: "Okay, then I'll say it directly." Professor Yang, that's right, I would like to ask you to draw a line. You know I have an automotive technology research and development company. ”
Professor Yang: "Oh, I know, Super Heavy Industries, now I know that there is a lot of attention to automobiles at home and abroad. ”
Wang Jun smiled and said, "Don't dare to be." Professor Yang, you know that my company has just started, and although I have developed a little new technology, I am doing it alone. Therefore, I would like to cooperate with the automotive engineering major of the mechanical department of our school to build a power laboratory and a materials laboratory together, and our company will fund the research projects of scientific researchers in the school, and the ownership of the project belongs to our company!"
Professor Yang on the other side of the phone was silent for a moment.
He heard that this was the meaning of asking the scientific researchers of Jiaotong University to work for Wang Jun.
There are many projects cooperated between domestic universities and some high-tech enterprises, some of which are commissioned for research, and naturally there are also cooperative projects in which schools participate in the operation, and schools enjoy project revenue sharing!
For a prestigious ace major like the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Jiaotong University, the school will definitely be very strong, will not work for others in vain, and will ask for more benefits!
Although Professor Yang is obsessed with scientific research, he is not an academic antique who does not understand anything.
After thinking about it for a while, Professor Yang said, "Wang Jun, I'll discuss this matter with a few old guys. I personally support it, no matter who owns it, it is our Chinese technology, we are too far behind in the automotive field, it is most important to unite and progress together, you are also a businessman, I understand your requirements. ”
"Thank you for your understanding, I'm waiting for your news, if you need me to go, call me!"
Wang Jun said lightly, and his tone did not reveal any eagerness and eagerness.
With the help of the scientific research strength of famous domestic universities, the stage of starting to lay the foundation will be very good, laying the foundation for sustainable and benign development in the future.
But if it doesn't work out, he won't make compromises.
He knew that if he gave up the initiative and let the university have a certain amount of ownership, it would sooner or later become a gilded bureaucracy, and there might even be a layman in charge of the insider.
Such examples are not uncommon in major universities and scientific research units in China, and even in the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Wang Jun doesn't want the laboratory he created to end up not under his own jurisdiction, and even he has to be restrained by others and become a tool in the hands of bureaucrats!
So, take the initiative at the beginning.
This was also very important to Professor Yang, so he immediately contacted the university.
Wang Jun, on the other hand, was eating breakfast while reading an alien physics textbook.
Richard also got up from his room, while eating bread, he saw that Wang Jun was reading, hesitated, and said, "Sir, I have a friend of the Porsche family who wants to talk to you face to face!"
Wang Jun put down the alien physics textbook in his hand, put it under the table without a trace to cover it, looked at Richard in amazement, and asked: "The Porsche family, which controls the Porsche company and owns more than 50% of Volkswagen's shares?"
Richard nodded, indicating that it was the family.
As long as there are people in the automotive industry in the world, there is almost no one who does not know or know this family, which represents almost half of the automobile industry!
This family can be described as a legendary existence, if it is interpreted by Chinese film and television dramas, it is estimated that it can shoot three or four hundred episodes like the family TV series of Baodao twenty years ago, the protagonist is not one or two people, but three or four generations, and the time can span more than 100 years!
The history of the Porsche family can be seen as the history of the development of the German automotive industry!
Ferdinand Piëch, the head of the Volkswagen Group, and Wolfgang Porsche, the head of Porsche, are cousins, and Ferdinand Piëch's maternal grandfather is Ferdinand Porsche, the grandfather of Wolfgang Porsche!
Ferdinand Porsche single-handedly founded the Volkswagen Group, he first worked in Mercedes-Benz and Daimham, and served as a technical executive, and proposed to build a car that ordinary people could afford, but was rejected by Mercedes-Benz and Daimme at that time, thinking that this was impossible, and that cars should be a luxury for the rich!
Then, Ferdinand Porsche became independent and founded the Porsche Design Institute, the prototype of the Porsche company!
Soon, his dream came true!
Because, the first thing Hitler did when he came to power was to benefit ordinary people, and he also put forward a plan to let every German citizen drive a car, so he found Ferdinand Porsche to cooperate and create the Volkswagen Group, with Porsche as the chief designer and chairman, that is, the position where Ferdinand Piëch sat in the nineties!
The first car on the market of the Volkswagen Group was the Beetle, which was designed by Porsche himself, a world-famous classic model, and now Volkswagen is still manufacturing and selling a century-old model.
Soon after, however, the Volkswagen Group ceased production.
Because of the outbreak of World War II, Hitler turned the Volkswagen Group into a military factory, asked Ferdinand Porsche to design combat vehicles, and then he designed the most classic Tiger tank and elephant tank destroyer of World War II!
After the defeat in World War II, Ferdinand Porsche was arrested by the French and convicted of war criminals, where he was imprisoned for two years before being released.
After his release from prison, Porsche officially created the Porsche Motor Company!
Ferdinand Piëch was born in such a family, and he was exposed to cars since he was a child, and it is said that gasoline flowed through his veins when he was born.
However, Ferdinand Piëch was too arrogant, he offended almost all his relatives in the family business Porsche when he was young, and then he was excluded from Audi and then joined Volkswagen, growing up step by step, and finally became the head of Volkswagen in the nineties!
And Wolfgang Porsche is also at the helm of Porsche, and the grievances and hatreds between the two sides can shoot hundreds of episodes of TV series!
Ethics, Ferdinand Piëch greened over a cousin of the Porsche family!
Ferdinand Piëch's mother and his brother Porsche had an agreement that if any of the family disciples can realize Ferdinand Porsche's dream, take the helm of the Volkswagen Group, and take back the company he created, then he can directly take charge of the Porsche Company at the same time, and he can maximize the concentrated use of the resources of the two groups to seek better development.
However, later, when Ferdinand Piëch took the helm of the Volkswagen Group, Wolfgang, the head of Porsche, did not agree with his father's agreement and continued to take charge of the Porsche Company himself, believing that Piëch was just the CEO of Volkswagen, and the Volkswagen Group did not belong to Piëch!
The headquarters of the Volkswagen Group is located in Wolfsburg, commonly known as Wolfsburg, which is almost synonymous with the Volkswagen Group in the world. From the name of Wolfgang, you can see that the Porsche family has an endless grudge against Volkswagen!
Before, it could be filmed as an inspirational drama about Piëch and Wolfgang's cousins, who were in charge of the two groups step by step, but after the nineties, it could be filmed as the struggle between the two groups and the two brothers!
Of course, its founder, Ferdinand Porsche, was born in an ordinary blacksmith family, and became the world's most important automobile giant step by step, and even designed and manufactured the Tiger tank across Europe in World War II, which is a more inspirational plot!
And the business struggle between Porsche and the Volkswagen Group never stopped.
Takeovers, anti-takeovers, hiring hedge funds to make covert takeovers, agitating international governments to go to court, and so on, have all been used, both overtly and covertly.
Because, Porsche wanted to completely control the Volkswagen Group, and when the world financial crisis was two thousand years later and Volkswagen lost money, it continued to acquire shares of the Volkswagen Group, and then the Volkswagen Group eased up and acquired Porsche.
But!
Wolfgang is even more powerful, secretly crossing Chen Cang, with Porsche Holding Company secretly acquiring a little more than 50 percent of Volkswagen's shares, and also holds 20 percent of the stock options, and can spend more money to control more than 70 percent at any time!
But!
That's not enough!
This is because the Volkswagen Group is a German state-owned enterprise, and 20 percent of its shares are in the hands of the local government. In addition, there is a special law in Germany, called the Volkswagen Act, which is used to protect the Volkswagen Group from being acquired by individuals. The law states that the Volkswagen Group cannot be acquired because the 20 percent stake held by the government cannot be diluted and sold and has a veto power.
But that's not all!
Porsche Holding AG instigated the European Union to take Germany to court and demand that Germany repeal the Volkswagen Act, because it was against the law of the free market and an act of forced intervention by the government in the market.
At last!
The German government lost the lawsuit, but refused to implement the law to repeal the Volkswagen law, Volkswagen is almost one of the symbols of the German automobile industry, the lives of millions of people in Germany, the German government insists that the Volkswagen Group does not want to be controlled by a certain person or a family, only wants to be controlled by its own hands!
Seventy years after Ferdinand founded Volkswagen, the Porsche family is finally one step away from taking control of the Volkswagen Group, but this step is difficult!
Ferdinand Piëch has stepped down as head of the Volkswagen Group, but his cousin Wolfgang is still insisting on taking control of the Volkswagen Group!
Externally, however, they have begun to gradually unite and form the Porsche Piëch family, which is almost the de facto controller of Volkswagen and Porsche, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first family in the field of the automotive industry!
Such a prominent family in the automobile industry actually took the initiative to contact Wang Jun through Richard, which made Wang Jun a little surprised.
Even if Wang Jun has been in the limelight recently, the gap with the Porsche Piëch family is incalculable.
Richard saw Wang Jun's rare expression of surprise and surprise, and explained: "I was a classmate with one of Wolfgang's sons and entered Porsche for an internship together, and he stayed at Porsche and is now a senior automotive engineer at Porsche. We have a good relationship and have kept in touch all the time. ”
"He contacted you through me to show kindness. If you can, he'll invite you to visit the Porsche headquarters at the Dubai Invitational!"
Wang Jun's mind turned, nodded lightly, and said, "Okay, if I have time, I will go to Porsche headquarters to visit, and if possible, I will also go to Volkswagen!"
Richard took out the phone and handed it to Wang Jun, and said, "Sir, why don't you come and talk to Bov?"
Wang Jun's eyes flashed, he didn't refuse, took the phone and said, "Hello, Mr. Bov Porsche!"
A neutral man's voice came from the phone: "Hello, Mr. Wang Jun, how do I speak Chinese?"
Bov Porsche speaks relatively pure Chinese, although there are some foreign accents, but it is already very fluent!
This made Wang Jun a little surprised, and said in admiration: "It's great, I didn't expect the children of the Porsche family to be so interested in Chinese." ”
This kind of Chinese accent is definitely not something that can be practiced in a day or two, at least a few years or even more than ten years of practice, so it can be seen that Bov Porsche is either a lover of Chinese culture, or he is deliberately studying Chinese in order to deal with the Chinese!
After all, many of the Volkswagen Group's businesses are in the Huaxia region, and the market in the Huaxia region is the most important market for the Volkswagen Group, and there is not even one of them, without the support of the Huaxia market, the Volkswagen Group cannot survive the two financial crises!
Pov Porsche sat in his office, and a video screen was suspended on the computer in front of him, which was the picture of Wang Jun's car and Nissan's car race, but in the center of the picture was Wang Jun's own car that occupied most of it, and Nissan's car was blurred.
This video, Bov Porsche has watched it more than 100 times in the past two days!
He also checked it himself, and he could conclude that the horizontally opposed engine in Wang Jun's car definitely did not come from Porsche, nor was it modified from Porsche's engine.
After all, as one of Porsche's leading automotive engineers, he knew Porsche's technology inside out, and he knew that Porsche could not build such a great 2.0 engine.
Therefore, he hesitated, but he couldn't help but contact Wang Jun in person, through Richard, an old classmate!
After thinking about it for a while, Bov said, "Mr. Wang Jun, I know you've been busy lately, so I won't waste your time. I don't just represent Porsche Motor Cars, I also represent the Porsche Piëch family and hope to build a friendship with you. We hope to establish a partnership with you in the field of automotive engines, and if I can, I want to acquire all the technology of the car that beat Nissan's racing. ”
"Engine, gearbox, chassis, exterior aerodynamics...... You're a genius and I'll match you to the price of a genius!"
Bov said straight to the point.
He was also an ambitious man, and as Wolfgang's son, his goal was to take the helm of Porsche Holding AG.
Now, he has a chance to get the technology on Wang Jun's car.
Listening to Bofu's words, Wang Jun's eyebrows moved!
