Chapter 222: Butler Electric Vehicle Company

Yi Cheng finished reading the latest issue of "Lin'an Metropolis Daily" and threw it aside with a smile.

The interview report written by Fan Xiaoxi basically fits the content of their conversation that day, and there is a little bit of personal play and imagination in some places, and there is nothing to find fault with in terms of "authenticity".

"Fuxi, what's the interesting case in the past two days, or you can't make up your mind?"

"Not yet. ”

Yi Cheng was not disappointed. Interesting cases are not so easy to come across, and the "boring" that he usually talks about is just talking.

Fu Xi's database hides such a huge treasure trove, he will never be able to read it in his life. And you can drink tea and make a cup of coffee in your spare time, and the time is actually easy to pass away, and you often just feel that the time is not enough.

But fortunately, it has the assistance of Fuxi. Without Fu Xi, it would be impossible to grasp the hundreds of small enterprises and scientific research institutions he invested in, and to track the thousands of scientific research projects he has invested in. No normal person has the energy to do that.

"Let's report on all aspects. ”

Fu Xi's voice sounded in a gentle tone, and Yi Cheng listened attentively. The things it reported have been sorted out, and only those that it can't make up its mind, need Yi Cheng to make decisions, or need Yi Cheng to make adjustments in person.

For the rest of the little things, it can imitate Yi Cheng's tone and send emails to solve the coordination.

After listening to the report, Yi Cheng gave instructions on a few things, and then asked Fu Xi: "Is there any news in the past two days?"

Fu Xi had long understood Yi Cheng's preferences and the things he was used to paying attention to, and immediately told about it. Yi Cheng listened intently, and suddenly a message caught his attention.

"Chen Zhirong and a group of senior executives of the Chen Group and the senior management of Butler Electric Vehicle Company met in the capital? It is rumored that the Chen Group intends to acquire Butler Company?" Yi Cheng said, "Find out this relevant information!"

When he tried to acquire companies such as Pinzheng Industries, the Chen Group stumbled behind his back.

At that time, he was just an ant in front of the Chen Group, and he couldn't shake the other party at all, so he could only swallow his anger, accept the loss, and spend more money than expected to acquire those companies.

Although he didn't do anything after that, he kept this incident in his heart, and he wanted to take revenge when the situation came.

If the Chen Group really wants to make a big move this time, it will be his chance to retaliate.

Butler Electric Vehicles is a start-up company in the United States, just 7 years old. Its electric vehicles are widely praised all over the world, with annual sales of more than 100,000 units and annual sales equivalent to more than 20 billion Chinese yuan, but due to more investment in administration, operation and promotion, and research and development, the loss is also quite large, and the loss reached 1.4 billion Chinese yuan last year.

However, because of the willingness to invest in research and development, Butler Electric Vehicle Company has been successful for several generations of products, and because of the positive image, the concept of clean energy and other concepts it represents belongs to the future development direction, the company's market value has been soaring, and the current market value is estimated to reach more than 70 billion US dollars, almost 140 billion Chinese dollars. Its stock price also soared, increasing more than 20 times after listing, approaching $500. Having said that, Fu Xi also helped him invest in this stock and made a lot of money.

Yi Cheng has also been interested in this company for a long time. In his opinion, Butler's design philosophy is on the right path, and it is currently focusing on areas such as autonomous driving, which Fuxi has in hand and can help it take off.

It's just that Butler Electric Vehicle Company has no intention of selling it before, and most of its shares are in the hands of the two founders and Red Maple Investment. Of course, as a listed company, there are also some shares in the hands of retail investors, but the number is too small to be considered.

It is said that the two founders of Butler are ambitious to build Butler's electric vehicle company into a super-large automobile company with a market value of trillions, and Hongfeng Investment keeps injecting funds into them, even if they can survive losses year after year, so Yi Cheng did not make up his mind.

I wonder what the Chen Group used to impress Butler & Co. and Red Maple Investment Company to make them want to sell their shares?

Or in fact, Butler & Co. and Red Maple Investment Company have not yet decided to sell their shares, but are only seeking normal cooperation with the Chen Group? After all, the "Junwang" brand under the Chen Group is also a world-renowned brand.

Soon, Fu Xi collected a lot of relevant news and put it on Yi Cheng's laptop. Yi Cheng read them one by one carefully and came to the same conclusion as Fu Xi. "It's really possible that the Chen Group wants to buy Butler. ”

He showed a smile that was not bad and kind, since he knew about it, he had to destroy it, and he would not be a gentleman if he had revenge.

"Fuxi, make arrangements for me, I'm going to fly to the capital tomorrow. ”

"Okay, Level 1 Administrator Yi Cheng. ”

"Try to buy a civil aviation ticket first, and then arrange a private jet if it doesn't work. ”

Because it is too troublesome for a private jet to take off once, Yi Cheng is not reluctant to pay this money, but there is a lot of relationship cost to be paid here.

In Huaxia, if you don't have a strong relationship, even if you buy a private jet, you can only throw it at the airport and eat ashes. Because of air traffic control, it is difficult to get a flight permit.

……

The next day, Yi Cheng arrived in the capital smoothly, and there were no hijackings on the plane and no other accidents.

There are not so many accidents in life, "no coincidence is not a book", there are so many coincidences, and real life is often bland.

As for those beautiful flight attendants, he didn't take the initiative to provoke them, and it was impossible for others to have more enthusiasm for him than was permitted, although he was in business class, but his dress was relatively civilian, and naturally there would be no flight attendants who would give him contact information or anything.

He still stayed in his own "Dawn" hotel. Coincidentally, the delegation of Butler Electric Vehicle Company and the representative of Red Maple Investment Company also stayed at the "Dawn" hotel.

This time, Butler's two founders, Clark and Gable, did not show up in person, only a few company executives.

Therefore, Yi Cheng speculates that Chen's acquisition is only in the intention stage.

After staying in the hotel, Yi Cheng quickly called the manager of the hotel and easily got the room number of the representatives of Butler & Co. and Red Maple Investment.

But you can't visit directly, it's too rude.

Let's create a chance encounter first.

Fortunately, the hotel was full of cameras, and Fu Xi followed the whereabouts of those people without much effort, and Yi Cheng quickly obtained the rules of action of all the representative members of Butler Company and Red Maple Company.
