"EMP/Qirui's acquisition of Jaguar Land Rover is a case of snake swallowing elephants"
Volta's CEO: $1 billion from the sale will be used for new vehicle development
The news of EMP/Qirui's joint acquisition of Jaguar Land Rover was like a bombshell, breaking the tranquility of the entire car world at once. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Although this protracted negotiation has attracted enough attention, including all kinds of bizarre twists and turns, in the end, only EMP / Qirui is left alone, and the industry is extremely concerned, but attention is attention, they never thought that one day Jaguar Land Rover was really acquired by the Huaxia people.
Even when the news reached China, even the Chinese people looked incredulous.
Even if the news about EMP/Qirui's acquisition of Jaguar Land Rover was boiling and there were mixed reviews on the Internet, people just regarded it as a talking point and never thought that this matter would become a fact.
A company that produces electric vehicles, a state-owned private enterprise with a history of only ten years, actually pocketed the luxury aristocratic brand of England with a history of sixty or seventy years, which can be listed as the most incredible thing in 07.
But that's how it happened unexpectedly.
For a time, Jaguar and Land Rover, which were originally niche brands in China, were suddenly well-known.
Netizens are also like a shot of chicken blood, and they have expressed their opinions on major forums or platforms.
However, no matter what the domestic evaluation is, at least among the parties to this transaction, they are still relatively satisfied.
Almost as soon as the agreement was announced, the parties involved in the negotiations were besieged by major media groups.
After all, the United States is now in dire straits, and their every move has attracted the attention of all parties, especially in this kind of negotiation involving well-known companies and well-known brands.
Even Lo's car websites, such as the car's home, belch, and Dayang Motor, got the news from Lo International in advance and sent someone to rush over.
Above the entire venue, there were long guns and short cannons everywhere, and flashing lights everywhere.
Speaking to the media, Volta's President Alan Mulally said: "We are confident that under the joint leadership of EMP/Qirui, Jaguar and Land Rover will continue to build on their existing excellent products, business plans and talented teams. Volta will also focus on integrating the Volt brand globally with a view to building a stronger Volta car company and achieving profitable growth. ”
Similarly, Jaguar Land Rover CEO Geoff Boletz also said when asked by the media for his opinion on the acquisition: "Jaguar Land Rover's management team is delighted that Volt and EMP have reached an agreement today. During the negotiation process, our team was thoroughly consulted on the content of the agreement, and both parties to the negotiation also respected our opinions and suggestions to the greatest extent, believing that the agreement would meet our business needs and ensure the continued progress of our brand.
When asked about EMP/ARI's leadership, he was also full of praise: "We have met with senior leaders from EMP and QIRUI in the past, and they expressed their confidence in Jaguar Land Rover's leadership team that has greatly improved its performance. We have reason to believe that we will have a strong working relationship with the new parent company and look forward to a brighter and more successful future for Jaguar Land Rover, and I would like to say that the owner of EMP is truly a legend!"
And Yin Tongyue is also surrounded by a lot of reporters, today's Yin Tongyue, as if he was ten years younger all of a sudden, his face was full of spirit, and when he was interviewed by reporters, he responded with a faint smile on his face: " We are very pleased and honored that Jaguar Land Rover is about to become an important part of the automotive business of Qirui and EMP, as a well-known luxury brand in the world, we have great respect for them and will strive to carry forward their brand heritage and competitiveness, while maintaining their original brand identity and supporting their business growth, taking an important step forward in the global strategy of Qirui and EMP, and hope that the management and staff of these two brands will use their experience and professionalism to achieve brand rejuvenation in the years to come." !”
Facing the reporters around him, Yin Tongyue vaguely felt that his mood at this time was much more excited than when he saw Qirui's first QQ coming off the assembly line.
Of the $1.55 billion required for the acquisition, Qirui will bear 250 million of them, and the rest will be paid by EMP, for which Volt Financial has provided $550 million in five-year short-term bonds to EMP.
Obviously, he bought other people's things, but in the end, he still had to let people buy it, Bai Ningyuan's empty gloves and white wolf kung fu made everyone in the EMP team worship their boss even more.
But they don't know the actual situation inside, only Bai Ningyuan, who has been reborn once, knows in his heart that because of the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis, the exchange rate of the US dollar to the Chinese currency will go all the way down, and it is obviously not a wise choice to pay the account when it is close to the highest value of the exchange rate.
Such a good thing is not to be done by a fool.
As another important figure in the acquirer, Bai Ningyuan was naturally sought after by major media, but they searched and searched, but they never found Bai Ningyuan.
At this time, Bai Ningyuan was already taking an international flight of Delta Air Lines with his own security team, all the way to Huaxia.
After the agreement was signed, although there were still a series of things to be done in the follow-up, including payment and handover, etc., all of this had nothing to do with Bai Ningyuan.
Now there is less than half a month before the start of school, and this summer, he has devoted almost the entire summer vacation to the work of the United States, and finally the negotiations are over, so he finally got some precious respite, and before the start of school, let his tired body and mind relax and rest.
As for the follow-up work, there are Yin Tongyue and Zhang Yan here, and Bai Ning Yuanda can rest assured that he will be the shopkeeper.
The plane soared thousands of miles in the sky, overlooking the blue sky and white clouds of a foreign country outside through the porthole, Bai Ningyuan suddenly felt that he was a little homesick......
