The boss is testing the employees, and the employees are testing the boss.

They are all top business elites, and they can find jobs anywhere with their resumes, and their future is more important than money.

Anthony deliberately slowed down his speech and gave Han Xuan time to understand: "In the eighties, affected by the global economic crisis led by the United States, some traditional automobile companies in Britain fell into a crisis almost at the same time.

Ford Motor Company immediately set its sights on the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, and in a short period of time acquired Land Rover, Jaguar and Aston Martin, three car brands that had been well-known in the UK for many years.

At that time, the acquisition of Aston Martin was not an easy task, and in 1987, Ford bought 75 percent of Aston Martin and achieved a controlling stake, and the remaining 25 percent was not fully owned by Ford until this year.

In recent years, the European and American markets have gradually saturated, Ford's sales capacity has declined sharply, and the failure of various investment areas has caused it to fall into huge losses.

The British public is not very resistant to Ford's acquisition of the car company, but thinks it will bring Aston Martin back to life, and Ford has really invested a lot of energy in it for seven years.

It's just that now it seems that they want to package it and then sell it at a high price, making the difference from it, not only absorbing Aston Martin's technical reserves, but also making money.

Ever since Ford approached Daimler-Benz AG with the idea of selling Aston Martin again, British newspapers have been scolding Ford Motor Company, and Ford's sales in the UK have plummeted by 40% this quarter.

Affected by the two world wars, the British people have a bad view of the Germans, as one of the important sales places of German cars, Daimler-Benz is considering the impact of the matter, and has not yet given an accurate answer.

I bought the message from a special channel. This time, Ford offered Daimler-Benz a price of between $330 million and $360 million. ”?

Han Xuan patted the table rhythmically, thinking about the gains and losses between the two brands, and asked, "What about engine technology." ”

"Ford has helped Aston Martin to replace it with a new generation of engines produced by its own company in recent years, and Aston Martin's craftsmanship is not enough to make it; Maserati has the technology to produce old engines, and I am afraid that it is now backward. ”

The engine is the heaviest heart of the car, and other problems can be solved. The engine is not easy to do, which is also the reason why the automotive industry in the future developing countries has been tepid.

Han Xuan nodded, understanding that it meant that Aston Martin's engines needed to be purchased from Ford for a long time, and Maserati's technology was backward, referring to the fact that compared to its high-end brand, the technology of twin-turbo engine models in the eighties was also advanced enough for high-end cars in underdeveloped countries.

"You should first make a tentative contact with Ford Motor Company, about supporting facilities and talent. What do you recommend?"

Turning around and taking out two documents from his briefcase, standing up and putting them in front of Han Xuan, Anthony said: "Those are not troublesome, some universities near the Great Lakes and in California have a superior level of automotive engineering.

The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor not only has an automotive research institute for the development of power control systems for military and commercial vehicles, but also a supporting automotive laboratory with research interests in internal combustion engine combustion, emission control, fuel efficiency, automotive hybrid and electronic product design, vehicle aerodynamics and other fields.

And the University of Detroit. The school is very closely connected with the industry, including Ford, General Motors, Chrysler and other three major American automobile companies. The latest model research laboratories and experimental plants are located there.

It also includes the University of California, Berkeley, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and the University of Illinois and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the Midwest. The automotive engineering majors of these schools work together to build airplanes with enough sponsorship to build them.

Senior technical talents can ask headhunters to dig up, form a basic design team of the company, and give them specific optimization.

Today, the business model is mature, and big companies are doing it. It can save a lot of money, and there is no country in the world except Germany that can compare with the United States in technology. ”

Han Xuan smiled, it was really raining from the sky, which saved him a lot of trouble. Happy said: "Let's follow up on both sides, let's not talk about cars next, I have other things to hand over to you." ”

"Speak. ”

So far, the boss has done a good job, and Tristan is relieved that he doesn't have the whims of ordinary children, and he is also good at listening, paying attention to the boy's expression from beginning to end.

I used to say that he was a genius and I didn't believe it, but now it seems that he can really understand these things.

"The first thing, about Blizzard Entertainment, their first PC game is going to be released, I know you've all worked in world-class companies before, and you don't look down on that small company, but they need the money to keep up.

In addition to the previous game stores, Mr. Sebastian, you can contact the SOS Group and Marvel Comics again, borrow their sales channels, and I will say hello. ”

Han Xuan looked at Sebastian, got his answer, and continued: "After injecting 100 million yuan, I will get a loan from East West Bank recently, with more than one billion dollars, in addition to the car manufacturers and Trump Real Estate Company, I think other funds should also be arranged, which of you is more familiar with Merrill Lynch?"

When asked, no one answered, and one by one they deserted to guess that they wanted to get a piece of financing, Anthony's heart was shaken, and there was only one reason why he agreed to jump from Fidelity Fund - Mr. Han said that he would hand over the SOS Group to the boy in front of him in the future, and wanted to pave the way for himself, but he didn't say that he would start now.

An 11-year-old kid with more than a billion dollars in his hands seems to be letting him choose what to do? Is this a joke?

Tapping on the table with his hand, Han Xuan asked again, "No one knows?"

"No, I've been in contact with them before. Sebastian squeezed out a smile: "Do you want to entrust the management to Merrill Lynch?"

"Merrill Lynch has returned nearly 12 percent in the last three years, two percentage points higher than the Goldman Sachs group before me, which can be considered," Tristan said. ”

"No, no, sir, you misunderstood, just now I was on the phone with someone from McKinsey & Company, and told me that Merrill Lynch has 30% of the shares of Bloomberg News, and I want to buy it, please help me ask what the other party means. ”

"Bloomberg?

I followed Fidelity when I was working at Fidelity Funds, and it has grown at an annual rate of 40% for the last decade, and Merrill Lynch can't let it go. ”

Anthony shook his head: "The potential is indeed very large, and now the market value of Bloomberg should be about one billion dollars, and Fidelity Fund has installed this company's terminal in every office, and I also have it at home." ”

"The 40% growth rate was two years ago, and this year it dropped to 31%, and in 82 Merrill Lynch bought it for only $30 million, and now this investment is worth 300 million, and the tenfold rate of return is enough to satisfy.

This time you can double the premium, as long as it is within $600 million, you can help me get this part of the shares, if not all of them, at least some of them, Michael Bloomberg also asked, who wants less money to buy whom" (to be continued. )
