Chapter 721: Wanting to Refuse and Welcome
Just when the news that Jiang Hui became the richest man in the Celestial Empire was swiping the screen, there was also new progress between the Korn Ferry Group and Ford Motor on the acquisition of Jaguar Land Rover.
"Mr. Jiang, after nearly a year of contact, Ford began to loosen its mouth yesterday", Pi Wei and Guan Weidong came to Jiang Hui's office together to report on the group's acquisition of Jaguar Land Rover.
"Mr. Pi, thank you for your hard work, when the acquisition is over, I will hold a celebration banquet for you", Jiang Hui stood up and walked to the sofa next to him and motioned for Pi Wei and Guan Weidong to sit down and talk.
"Unfortunately, I thought that we were a Celestial Empire company and finally had the opportunity to acquire an internationally renowned car brand, and I was very excited in my heart, and I especially hoped that this matter could be successful as soon as possible," Pi Wei said with a little excitement.
Speaking of which, throughout the twentieth century, there was basically no shadow of the people of the Celestial Empire in the international M&A market, and most of them belonged to the objects of mergers and acquisitions.
With the accession of the Celestial Empire to the TO, driven by the troika of foreign trade, investment and real estate, the economy of the Celestial Empire jumped a step up after more than 20 years of rapid development, growing at a rate of nearly 10 percent.
Slowly, there are more cases of Celestial Empire enterprises participating in international mergers and acquisitions.
In another ten or eight years, it will become commonplace for Celestial Empire enterprises to acquire overseas enterprises.
The people of the Celestial Empire, who have become rich, are a bit of the style of the island people of the eighties, and they are bought and bought all over the world.
There is no bad money for trading, the difference is just whether the local government approves it or not.
"Jaguar Land Rover, I'm determined to win, these Yankees, until the last minute, always don't give up," Jiang Hui said.
Indeed, it took nearly a year for Ford to reduce the conditions from an unreliable $7 billion to $3.2 billion. That's why Ford has not performed well around the world this year, with the exception of the Celestial Empire, and Murali has felt more pressure to agree to lower its prices," Pi said.
For the overall pattern of the global automobile industry, there has been a "6+3" saying in the past, that is, six major brands of General Motors, Ford, DaimlerChrysler, Peugeot-Citroen, Volkswagen, Renault-Nissan, plus three independent brands of automobile companies Toyota, Honda and BMW, basically dominate the global automotive industry, and other brands and enterprises are not able to have a worldwide impact.
Ford was once the second largest in the world for a long time, but in recent years it has been quickly overtaken by Toyota.
Ford's sales in its home North American market have been declining year after year in recent years, and in the first nine months of 2007, it fell by 12 percent over the same period, losing to Toyota.
Sales of several of Ford's luxury brands, Jaguar and Land Rover, have also declined year after year, which is why Ford is determined to sell these two brands.
In the first nine months of 2007, Volkswagen sales increased by 7.9 percent year-on-year, a record high, mainly due to the rapid growth of Volkswagen's sales in overseas markets, especially in the Celestial Empire.
In this way, Fu said that he is the global leader, and even the position of the world's third is not guaranteed.
"Now that the crisis is coming, it won't pass so quickly, and if I grind it again, the price in my heart is $2.5 billion to $2.7 billion," Jiang Hui said.
In the previous life, India's Tata Motors spent $2.3 billion to acquire Jaguar Land Rover, and the Korn Ferry Group must need to be higher than this price if it wants to cut off the beard.
However, Jiang Hui is not willing to spend too much unjust money, and a price increase of ten to twenty percent is basically enough.
"I also feel that their tone is constantly loosening, but it may also have something to do with the relatively smooth cooperation between our group and their Tianchao Company in the past six months," Guan Weidong said.
"Oh, yes, what kind of cooperation method is there?", although Jiang Hui also knew that the Radiant Group and Ford had cooperation in the Celestial Empire, but he didn't care so much about the specific details.
"Mainly Guanghui Weibo, Guanghui Games and Guanghui Film and Television and Ford Celestial Dynasty are cooperating, we specially arranged a few people to assist them in building an official Weibo account, and guide their operation and marketing, at the same time, our game "Glorious Speed" also appeared in more information about the models that Ford is selling in China;
"I estimate that the Ford Celestial Empire should be the most profitable region for Ford Motor in the world, or even the only profitable area, and I heard that their growth in the Celestial Empire this year is 30 percent, which is definitely amazing compared to the sharp decline in the U.S. market," Jiang Hui said with a smile.
"Yes, whether it is because of the effect of the cooperation with the Korn Ferry Group, at least they do not doubt the influence of our group in the Internet industry of the Celestial Empire," Guan Weidong said.
In the past few decades, TV stations have been the favorite advertising platform for automobile companies, but with the rapid development of the Internet, in the past two years, major car companies have almost surpassed TV stations in advertising on the Internet.
Especially in the Celestial Empire, the development of the Internet is really a rapid progress.
If any company doesn't advertise on the Internet now, it's really not easy to mix well.
"This is the strength of the aircraft carrier fleet battle group, each company supports each other, takes care of each other, and develops in a coordinated manner, and the effect achieved is definitely greater than one plus one," Jiang Hui said.
The current layout of Guanghui Group is from social networking sites, video websites, live broadcast websites, car tourism and other professional websites to Guanghui games, Guanghui film and television, and then to Guanghui drones, Guanghui mobile phones and Guanghui cars, and many companies have complementary businesses.
Let's not talk about the mutual support between various companies, that is, when competitors want to hack which company, they also have to weigh the weight in their hearts, and whether they will be beaten by the group.
Just like Guanghui Automobile, although Guanghui Group has never produced cars, other automobile companies often dare not say too much when evaluating Guanghui Automobile, even if they say something unpleasant, they will not do anything out of the ordinary in action.
If there is really any contradiction, it is generally an upright PK, and I don't dare to play tricks.
This is because we all know that behind the Guanghui Automobile is the Guanghui Group, which is a large number of enterprises such as Guanghui Weibo and the school intranet, if you want to play yin, then you have to think about it in advance, if the Guanghui Group's large subsidiaries come up together to yin you black you, can you parry?
"Indeed, otherwise we are a brand-new company of Guanghui Automobile to negotiate with Ford, which is indeed more passive, and people have no scruples about what they say or do," Pi Wei said with emotion.
Many times, people respect you, not because he is polite, but because Mi is strong.
