Chapter 1596: Big Stick Carrot
PSA Group, also known as PSA Group. It has four independent brands: Peugeot, Citroen, Opel and Vauxhall.
When it was founded in 1890, no one could have imagined that the company that produced bicycles and tricycles would become the fourth largest car manufacturer in Europe and the seventh largest in the world.
Just yesterday, SPA, the largest car company in France, just held a huge donation event for the Red Cross. To thank the Red Cross for its help and contribution to the French people during the two world wars.
A total of 3,000 Peugeot and Citroen models worth more than 100 million euros were donated. This is the largest social donation ever received by the Red Cross this year.
To this end, the Red Cross presented a certificate of honor to the PSA Board of Directors to show its contribution to the Red Cross and international public welfare.
While all the members of the board of directors were silent in their honor, Winston Cardin, president of Kline Industries and a member of the PSA Board of Directors, asked for a board meeting.
When they learned that K-Kin's industry intended to sell their shares and hand them over to Zhengxin Group, all the board members were shocked!
They can't imagine that the two enemies who fought to the death more than a month ago would actually hook up and play such a hand when the EU's largest car companies jointly put pressure on the European Commission and strive to keep Zhengxin out of the alliance!
Immediately, Marvin Alex, chairman of the board of directors of PSA, couldn't help but be angry and slapped the table directly.
But when Winston Cardin opened the laptop he was carrying, clicked on one of the documents, and put it in front of him, the 60-year-old chairman of the board of directors froze with a hard expression on his face.
In the afternoon of the same day, Angeli and Li Kai, representatives of Zhengxin Group, accompanied Li Fanyu to the PSA headquarters.
Looking at the smiling Li Fanyu sitting at the round table, all the directors of PSA felt sick in their hearts.
A month ago, several major car companies in the EU have reached an agreement privately, agreeing to jointly carry out research and development of new energy vehicle technology, and share the research and development results to a certain extent, so as to promote the technical level of electric vehicle application in the entire EU region and reduce the technology gap with Zhengxin Group.
In everyone's opinion, as long as there are two years, even if it is a year, the strong industrial foundation and R&D strength of the entire EU automobile companies can compete with Zhengxin in the market.
But no one would have thought that now, this man, who was regarded as a thorn in his eye, would sit in front of him in a grand manner.
What's even more hateful is that he still has stocks in his hands that are enough to affect the group's strategy.
"Mr. Li, we have reason to believe that this disgraceful transaction between you and K-Industries has violated certain EU laws. So, as a victim of this deal. Although we are unable to prevent this transaction between Zhengxin Group and K-Industries now, we reserve the right to seek legal means to veto the transfer of shares. ”
Looking at the oriental face in front of him, the folds on Marvin Alex's face all gathered together. The neatly combed white hair also stood up slightly because of anger.
This stubborn old man.
Looking at the other party's rather powerful gaze, Li Fanyu disagreed with this threat in his heart.
"Gentlemen, I think that in the morning Mr. Winston has shown you, as I have instructed, some of the ...... that I have inadvertently obtained, which you, along with several other companies, have done in conjunction with the European Commission Well, in Mr. Marvin's words, it is, evidence of things that cannot be seen in the dark. If there is really accountability, then I think the chances of Zhengxin may be greater. And Mr. Marvin, I ask you to be mindful of your words. A federation of countries, under the pressure of a group of plutocracy, to attack us with a law that is simply untenable, and we believe that we are the real victims, right?"
Looking directly at Marvin Alex, Li Fanyu didn't give in and went straight back!
That's right, in the morning, Winston Cardin showed the board members the audio-visual documents of the conversation between the representatives of PSA and Euroleague Mercedes-Benz and the President of the European Commission that Li Fanyu obtained through his stupidity!
Looking at the determination on Li Fanyu's face, Mark Alex was about to grit his good teeth. He couldn't have imagined how this information, which shouldn't exist at all, could be in Li Fanyu's hands.
In the face of Li Fanyu's aggressiveness, he expressed his dissatisfaction in a heavy nasal voice: "Mr. Li, you have used good means! God will not forgive you for being despicable and inferior. ”
Looking at the indignation and resistance on the faces of the old man and the other board members, the smile on Li Fanyu's face gradually disappeared. Before he came, he knew that he wouldn't meet any good faces in this trip, but he couldn't help but be a little angry when he really looked at everyone's resentment like watching a devil enter the village.
Behind him, Li Kai also sneered.
In the case that the evidence has been shown to them, when Zhengxin Group has fully understood the dirty methods of several major car companies in the EU, this bad old man still has the face to say that Li Fanyu is "despicable".
Is this Nima still shameless?
In front of all the board members, Li Fanyu slapped the table directly.
"Don't give you face, you don't have a face. Even if there is no deal between Zhengxin and Krysaldor, do you think that with a Rausch ban in the EU, you can really keep Zhengxin's electric vehicle products out of the country?
He nodded the table vigorously, "Just over a month ago, the Eagle Nation wanted to wipe Zhengxin out of the North American market. Their methods are tougher and dirtier than you are now, but the result is ...... Do you need to tell me?"
Li Fanyu's voice settled, and the expressions of everyone present were rich.
Although in their opinion, in that trade friction, Zhengxin forced the Eagle Country to bow its head and there was a fluke element, but it is undeniable that with the power of an enterprise, forcing an industrial power to make concessions, Zhengxin's soft and hard power is already terrifying.
In fact, it was through this incident that I saw the horror of Zhengxin, and several car companies joined forces with the intention of jointly dealing with Zhengxin.
Seeing that everyone was speechless, especially Marvin Alex squirming his lips and not saying a word, Li Fanyu smiled coldly.
"Of course, the reason why I am here today in person is not to exacerbate the conflict with you. Zhengxin Group has unrivaled technology, we want to make a difference in Europe, and PSA's current presence in Europe can help us achieve our goals more quickly. And I assure you that by cooperating with Righteous Faith, you will gain a bright future. ”
As he spoke, he snapped his fingers. Li Kai, who was behind him, immediately presented the notebook.
Li Fanyu opened the notebook and said to everyone present: "I heard that you have donated a batch of ambulances to the Red Cross. This is a special ambulance that I would like to produce in collaboration with PSA. I don't know if you're interested. ”
Seeing the unique model structure on the notebook, everyone on the board of directors was stunned.
"This car!"
"Can fly?"
Marvin Alex's eyes widened and asked aloud in disbelief.
