Chapter 727: From Confrontation to Alliance
"I have good news to tell you," Ferdinand Piëch, who returned to the table, completely lost the bitter and bitter appearance when he chatted with Chen Geng just now, and was replaced by a happy smile: "Runhua Industrial does not have to buy Skoda Motors, as long as the conditions of Wolfsburg are suitable enough, they can give up this acquisition." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
That's really good news!
Ferdinand Piëch's words sent a sigh of relief to all Wolfsburg executives:
"Really? Is Runhua really willing to conditionally give up the acquisition of Skoda? ”
"If that's the case, that's great!"
"The Virgin Mary is above! God forbid! ”
"God, it's finally over, I'm going to take a good vacation......"
…………
It's still a long way from success, but even if it were, so what? They cheered loudly, and in this way they vented the negative emotions that had accumulated in their hearts during this time.
For these guys who have been tossed by Chen Geng for this time, although this is only the first step of the long march, compared to before, now they finally see a little light of victory, right? Compared to the days when I walked in the dark before, I am not too happy now!
Piëch looked at his colleagues who were venting their emotions wantonly, and felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart: he had succeeded in the end.
Piëch's previous moves were all tentative?
That's right, it's a temptation.
Trying to test the attitude of Runhua Industry on the acquisition of Skoda Automobile: If Runhua Industrial is committed to the iron heart and has an attitude of "not Skoda will not marry", it will be a real headache and tricky for Wolfsburg Automobile; On the contrary, it would be great if Runhua Industrial was willing to give up the acquisition conditionally, as for what kind of conditions were needed to convince Runhua Industrial to give up the acquisition of Skoda, that is another matter, but in any case, this news is the best news everyone has heard these days.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Ladies and gentlemen! ”
Looking at everyone's relieved expressions, Ferdinand Piëch was also very happy, but seeing that everyone was a little carried away at the moment, he had to remind everyone to pay attention: "Don't be happy too early, I must remind everyone that Runhua Industry is willing to conditionally give up the acquisition of Skoda, this is certain, but another point that is more certain is that Runhua Industry's attitude towards acquiring Skoda is still very resolute, so, gentlemen, cheer up, now is not the time to relax, We have a lot of work to do! The battle has just begun! ”
What works? Of course, it is necessary to quickly figure out what kind of conditions can make Runhua Industrial give up the acquisition of Skoda Motors, and at the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the price paid by Wolfsburg Motors is small enough.
It's hard, it's very hard, but that's what you're capable of, otherwise why would the directors of Wolfsburg pay themselves such a large sum of money every year? As a time-tested old fritter, everyone firmly believes that as long as Runhua Industry is not the king who bites the scales, there must be a way to let them loosen!
……………………
Seeing that the Germans were celebrating and in a good mood, almost all the comrades in the foreign affairs department who had paid attention to the Germans finally breathed a sigh of relief, just now the big guys have been worried, lest the two sides disagree and quarrel, and they have to fight, such a good banquet but the taste of eating is the same as chewing wax, now it's okay, no matter what happens in the future, now it seems that at least this time there will be no fight.
As soon as I am in a good mood, I feel comfortable eating, but as long as I complete this task smoothly, the next time I encounter Runhua Industry and the Germans, I will say that I will not come to anything!
The only people who are in a bad mood are probably the people sent by FAW to accompany them, they belong to the category of "as long as you are in a good mood, my mood is not good", and at this moment, their faces are gloomy as if their children have been stuffed in a well.
But who cares about them?
At least Chen Geng won't eat radishes first and worry about it.
Looking at Chen Geng, who was in a good mood, Old Man Xie also breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "It's done?" ”
"Well, that's it." Chen Geng nodded, and stuffed the boss's piece of elbow meat with skin into his mouth: I have been very busy in the past two days, and when I eat, I just take two bites indiscriminately, and I haven't eaten a good meal properly, and now I see a good thing like elbows, where can I endure it?
"Oh?" Old man Xie was a little surprised, a little incomprehensible, the German's style is not the same as the Germans he knows: "The Germans are really willing to pay a certain price in exchange for us to give up the acquisition of Skoda?" ”
"This is a business after all, since it is a business, then there is nothing that cannot be discussed," Chen Geng was very indifferent: "It's just that the Germans in the past looked down on us, and always felt that we were not qualified to be on an equal footing with them, so naturally they would not treat us as a respectable opponent and talk to us well, but now it is different, we have won the respect of the opponent with practical actions, and the Germans know what to do as long as they are not stupid." ”
Old Man Xie thought about it, nodded, and shook his head again.
The reason is very simple, but it is useless to know the reason, can you still maintain a normal heart under the pressure of the Germans? Can you keep your mind under pressure from the foreign affairs department? He can't do it himself, but Chen Geng can do it, maybe this is why he can become the leader of Runhua Industry?
――――――――――――――――――――
Since there is such a good foundation, of course, it is necessary to have a good talk, but it is also not surprising that not long after the start of the talks, the whole negotiation has unsurprisingly reached a stalemate.
The reason is also very simple, the differences between the two sides are too big: in the opinion of Runhua Industry, Wolfsburg Automobile is too stingy, and the conditions given are far from satisfying the appetite of Runhua Industry; But in the same way, in the eyes of Wolfsburg Automobile, Runhua Industry's appetite is too big, it is simply insatiable, and if you want so many benefits, you are not afraid of being stripped to death?
Seeing that this meeting was about to end without a hitch, Ferdinand Piëch, who had not spoken much since the beginning of this meeting, suddenly spoke, he looked at Chen Geng, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Chen, what if Wolfsburg is willing to jointly acquire Skoda Automobile with Runhua Industry and then jointly hold shares?" ”
"What? Mr. Piëch, are you sure you are not joking? ”
Ferdinand Piëch's words startled Chen Geng, and Chairman Chen was instantly shocked: Wolfsburg is willing to jointly hold shares in Skoda Automobile with Runhua Industry?
To be honest, Chen Geng really didn't expect Piëch to come up with such a workaround, this brain hole is not ordinary.
"What?!"
"What?!"
"Sir, what you say is true? You're not kidding, are you? ”
There was an uproar at the scene!
Chen Geng is still like this, not to mention the people on the side of Wolfsburg Motors and the people in the off-site affairs department, everyone is frightened by this crazy idea of Ferdinand Piëch: together with Runhua Industrial, a joint acquisition and joint shareholding of Skoda Motors?
"Are you sure?" Chen Geng immediately asked, "Are you sure you're not joking?" ”
"I'm sure," Ferdinand Piëch nodded calmly, "You could well see this proposal as an official statement from Wolfsburg." ”
Chen Geng immediately felt that his heart began to beat uncompromisingly, although at the beginning he just wanted to dig a pit for Wolfsburg Motors, in order to let Wolfsburg Motors complete the acquisition at a higher price than in history, and he didn't really want to buy Skoda, but if he really had the opportunity to take a stake in Skoda - why say no?
As for whether the Wolfsburg car will have any conspiracy hidden in it, this can be done slowly.
After all, the old fritter is the old fritter, and when Chen Geng was still thinking about what conspiracy was hidden in Ferdinand Piëch's suggestion, the people on the Wolfsburg side of the car were the first to react after a short period of astonishment and shock, and then, their eyes lit up instantly: God, this is really a genius idea!
If Runhua Industry can really agree to jointly acquire Skoda Automobile with Wolfsburg Automobile, it means that the two companies have suddenly become partners from previous competitors, which can not only change the current tense situation, but also greatly reduce the capital occupation rate of Wolfsburg Automobile.
In addition, the reason why this acquisition has dragged on for so long is that in addition to the fact that such a large-scale acquisition itself is extremely complex and there are too many places that need to be agreed, Skoda Automobile's desire to use the tripartite competition of Wolfsburg Automobile, Renault Automobile and Runhua Industrial Co., Ltd. to try to obtain more benefits through the way of left and right is also "indispensable".
This is also understandable, Skoda cars are not international Lei Feng, people sell shares themselves in order to be able to make more money in the future, not to give themselves to others for free, must hope that the higher the price, the better.
As for now, although Renault has been thrown off the car, but Skoda Automobile is still working hard between Wolfsburg Automobile and Runhua Industry, if Wolfsburg Automobile and Runhua Industry cooperate, Skoda Automobile will completely lose the opportunity to meet the source, which will inevitably greatly reduce the price of Wolfsburg Automobile to acquire Skoda shares, which is equivalent to Wolfsburg Automobile in this matter and reduced part of the cost.
Now the only question is how big is the appetite of Runhua Industry? Can Wolfsburg Motors maintain the absolute controlling position it wants? But this is all trivial, compared to this problem, this proposal is the most constructive, as long as it can reach a joint acquisition and joint shareholding agreement with Runhua Industry, the biggest obstacle will be solved.
Everyone was happy, except for the FAW side.
