Although the U.S. branch has just been established, and even the office building rented by the company has not yet been renovated, it already has a complete framework. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The team led by Mason went through the approval process with the cooperation of CPM Group, and on the other hand, it was engaged in a see-saw acquisition negotiation with the Detroit OEM.

In fact, the full name of the OEM company is Occident.Engine.Machinery, which means Western machinery industry.

In fact, when the company was first established, it was still famous. On the one hand, it is because this company adopts international advanced production equipment and models, and on the other hand, the company's co-founder Kurbo, who once served as the chief design engineer of the European Union and Mercury.

Originally, there were these two cores, and it was unreasonable for OEMs to not develop.

But just like the Chinese ancestors always said luck and luck, this company can be described as being born at the wrong time;

When the company was established, it was the years when the development of the United States was relatively stable, that is, from 04 to 06. At that time, to be honest, Detroit had a little unprofitable car manufacturer.

But by the end of '06, affected by the subprime mortgage crisis, the entire Detroit auto industry was going downhill.

OEM, a company that has not yet gained a stable foothold, was immediately hit and caused the capital chain to break. As a result, the two models under development ran aground, stabbing the company's heart.

Immediately after that, the old Kurbo died of a heart attack, and the company was leaderless and directly abolished martial arts. can only rely on the advantages of equipment to make some pocket money for other vehicle companies to do OEM, and try not to go bankrupt.

To be honest, selling the company for $500 million is a blood loss for all shareholders. You must know that OME raised 1.5 billion yuan in capital at the beginning.

$500 million, and the equipment money can be recovered.

But there is no way to sell it, and the company has indeed reached the stage where it cannot continue to operate. Several shareholders are like grass in their hearts, and they want to throw away the hot potato of OEM.

But the company's largest shareholder, CJ Kurbo, the son of the elder Courbo, still refused to let go.

Because he controls nearly 40 percent of the company's shares, he has a veto.

OEM companies are publicly traded companies.

According to Mason's idea, if Zhengxin's U.S. branch is listed and equity mergers and acquisitions are carried out, more than 50% of the company's shares can be obtained, so that the OEM decision-making power can be grasped.

However, Li Fanyu has no interest in the capital market at all, and in his opinion, many regulations faced by the company's listing are too cumbersome, and the capital market situation in the United States is too complicated.

Therefore, in order to maintain the independence of Zhengxin America, convincing Kurbo became one of the biggest difficulties in front of him.

Li Fanyu has been stranded in Detroit for a week, and he has not been involved in the negotiations, but he has been monitoring the progress.

At this time, he was also very helpless in the face of Mason's report, this Kurbo, and really Nima is a stubborn donkey.

The company's seven shareholders have all agreed to transfer their shares, but this Kurbo is the only one who still doesn't let go.

"Mason, man, can you get in touch with Courbo alone, what the hell does he want?"

Mason shrugged, "Boss, this man is a piece of wood, I've talked to him alone. This guy is still thinking about developing the two models that his father didn't finish, trying to use these two models to save the company!"

Li Fan was foolish, "It's a persistent person." But... R&D requires money. They're already in this situation, what else are they doing with R&D? They still have an R&D team?"

"Yes, but it's a pitiful small scale, and little Kurbo is doing it with engineers from several companies. I went to see it in person. The progress of the project has reached 70 percent, but now it is slow like a turtle. Forehead... To be honest, if it weren't for the loyalty of some of the company's technical engineers to the old Courbo, and if it weren't for the fact that the younger Coulbo was a Ph.D. in Stanford University's School of Engineering, this unfinished project would never have gone ahead. ”

Oh?

So awesome?

Li Fanyu's eyes rolled, "Interesting, in this way, you arrange it, and I will talk to him personally." ”

"Good boss!"

……

In a nice restaurant in Detroit, Li Fanyu and Kurbo were looking at each other.

Kurbo is only thirty-five years old this year, but it may be that he has been worried too much after his father's death, and he must be at least forty years old in terms of physiognomy.

This guy is just to put it mildly in terms of raunchy. The sloppy king that Li Fanyu watched when he was a child may be more sloppy than him;

The suit on his body was baggy, and the cotton shirt was full of wrinkles. I don't know how long I haven't wiped my leather shoes, probably because I'm always in the lab, and my face is almost perverted pale. With a thick golden beard and a little red sauce on it, Li Fanyu could smell the smell of pizza from this product across the table.

"You're going to buy an OEM?" asked Kurbo with a slightly hostile expression after a moment's scrutiny.

Li Fanyu spread his hands, "As you can see, it's down there." ”

"How old are you? nineteen, twenty? Oh... Dude, can you legally enter the bar?"

Seeing him chattering, Li Fanyu really wanted to strangle this thing - it was too bad.

However, looking at this guy's outfit, Li Fanyu took a deep breath very wisely, paralyzed, and could not be seen like a nerd who was malnourished due to eating pizza every day.

"Hehe, Mr. Courbo, I came to you today to talk to you about the acquisition of an OEM company. If you're particularly concerned about my age, I'm responsible for telling you that I can legally enter the bar. And not only can I get into the bar, but I'm also rich, rich enough to buy an OEM without much effort. Of course, if it weren't for the fact that you didn't agree to transfer your shares. ”

Im’rich、

Li Fanyu was stunned when he said this, and he directly made Kurbo angry.

"Hey, listen! I don't care about the others, but as long as I'm still in the day, you don't want to take this company from me, it's the result of half my father's life!

Depend on!

What Li Fanyu is most afraid of is this kind of person, a person who is obsessed with something is almost paranoid, and attaches too much importance to the appearance of meaning, it is difficult to convince him.

He sorted out his thoughts, looked at Kurbo with bloodshot eyes and said, "Kurbo, I've heard of your father. But I think you are also aware of the current state of the company, and with your current conditions, it is impossible to complete the project. ”

Kurbo tried to retort, but he was silent at the thought of the development progress that had been stalled for a long time.

It is undeniable that what Li Fanyu said was the truth. The company has indeed reached the point of exhaustion, and the engineers and workers who have worked with their father since the company was first established will not be able to pay them next month.

Under such circumstances, those two sports cars, which embody half of his father's life's work, are indeed extremely difficult with his existing conditions.

Before coming, Li Fanyu had already learned about the two R&D projects through the OEM shareholders, and also fully understood the current predicament of Courbo. In response to these, just now when he was waiting for Kurbo to go to the appointment, he had a preliminary idea in his heart.

Seeing that Kurbo didn't speak, he whispered, "Kurbo, you're a gifted person. To be honest, it is very admirable to be able to move the project forward with limited conditions under such harsh conditions. I have a proposal to make your father's work come to fruition, I wonder if you would be interested in hearing it?"

"You say. ”

"Transfer your shares to me and stay in the company. I will carefully evaluate your project and if possible, I can help you complete it at some point in the future. How?"

Kurbo scoffed, "You think I'm going to believe your nonsense?"

Li Fanyu spread his hands, "Kurbo, the shares in your hands only account for more than forty percent of the company. If I buy shares from other shareholders, I can still control the company. Now I sit before you out of reverence for your Father and Son. Otherwise...... Why do you think I'm telling you this nonsense?"

Looking at Li Fanyu with a breezy face, Kurbo's gaze wandered......
