DaimlerChrysler is very dramatic, especially the main character here, Chrysler, from its birth to the present, it has gone through a process that can almost be woven into a story, and if the company is converted into characters, it is a romance novel with twists and turns.

In 1925, the founder of Chrysler Corporation broke away from General Motors of the United States to form Chrysler Corporation, acquired Maxwell Motor Company in the same year, and acquired Dodge Brothers Automobile Company three years later, during 1936~1949, Chrysler Company once surpassed Ford Motor Company and became the second largest automobile company in the United States.

This not only shows that the founding of Chrysler Corporation recognized Mr. Chrysler's extraordinary ability, but also proves that his status is not ordinary, otherwise no matter how high the profits are, he would not be able to develop Chrysler Corporation to that extent in a few years.

But that was the end of Mr. Chrysler's good fortune, because of the competitive and economic environment, Chrysler was repeatedly in a period of production decline in the early 50s, and this situation lasted until the mid-60s with a reorganization. However, this improvement did not last long, and at the beginning of 1974, Chrysler Corporation went downhill again, and even more dangerous than the last time, on the verge of bankruptcy.

Fortunately, the U.S. government doesn't want to see such a prominent star enterprise decline like this, and of course, there are still deals in the secret that outsiders don't know, and the government won't be so kind.

With the help of the U.S. government, Chrysler's performance began to flourish, and in just over a decade, Chrysler reached its peak, with 110,000 employees, nearly $4 billion in net profits, and 14.7 percent of the U.S. auto market, which is a rather terrifying share figure.

But at this time, the German Daimler Group suddenly bought Chrysler AG for $33 billion, which was in 1998. In 1998, the German Daimler Group was able to come up with 33 billion US dollars, which shows the strong capital strength of Europe and the United States at that time.

The combination of Daimler AG and Chrysler AG has been called the "elephant marriage", and Daimler AG intends to create an unprecedented global automotive group through this acquisition, but it is clear that he has failed.

This failure is not in technology, not in sales, but in the high cost of pensions in the United States, at this time people have to wonder whether this is a hole dug by the Yankees to deliberately let the German Daimler Group jump in, otherwise why Chrysler would suddenly rise and then call it the current situation.

At this time, DaimlerChrysler AG was in contact with the American side, and there was no doubt that DaimlerChrysler AG wanted to split Chrysler AG from the group. There is no way to do this, and if it continues, the entire DaimlerChrysler company will be taken to hell, and the shareholders of DaimlerChrysler AG are discerning people who know what is best for them.

The negotiations are still continuing because it is really difficult for the American company to satisfy DaimlerChrysler, and 7.4 billion US dollars will sell 80.1% of its shares, but 6.05 billion yuan will be injected into the difficult Chrysler company, and the remaining 1.35 billion yuan will be paid to the Daimler group after the separation.

33 billion for 1.35 billion, not to mention inflation or anything, there are more than so many losses in recent years, and the Daimler family has suffered a big loss.

Suddenly, it is obvious what the Daimler family meant to visit Wang Batian, Bak Giang Heavy Industries also has an automobile business, and Bak Giang Heavy Industries is also very strong, no matter what, the Daimler family decided to come to the door to give it a try, in case Wang Batian is interested in acquiring it? Not to mention the rest, how can it be higher than the US bid!

When Vincent told Wang Batian everything about this, Wang Batian hesitated, Yang Qian didn't understand business matters, but she understood one thing, so she gave a warning.

"There is inevitably a background of the US government here, and if you agree, the US side ......"

Needless to say, Yang Qian also understood that Wen Sen had obviously thought of this, but his thoughts were different from Yang Qian's, and Yang Qian's worries might not have anything to worry about here at Steward Vincent.

"What do you suggest, Steward Vincennes?"

"I think this is an opportunity, Lord Duke, if the Daimler family is willing to sell their shares, we can at least raise the price a little bit higher than the US government."

Wang Batian raised his eyebrows: "Doing this will offend the United States." ”

If the price is very high, it can still be said that the highest price will get, if it is only a little higher, the United States will definitely think that this is the Daimler family provoking the United States, the current Germany is not the Germany of World War I and World War II, although the EU helps Europe add a layer of protective clothing, but in general they are still the weak side.

It is not difficult for the United States to clean up the Daimler family, and it is much easier than even cleaning up a company in China, after all, the United States has a lot of influence in Germany.

"Lord Duke, they are businessmen, how can businessmen be afraid of offending the United States because of their interests?"

Steward Vincent's words made Wang Batian laugh, that's right, businessmen pursue profits, what else is in front of interests? There is not enough reason for other companies not to make a move, but it is different for Bac Giang Heavy Industries, which intends to increase its own automobile business, but it is only delayed because of financial problems.

Vincent is the butler of the Duke's Palace, he naturally has some understanding of the new duke's capital, and he is very clear about the situation of Beijiang Heavy Industries, so he recommends Wang Batian to make a move.

The automobile companies under Beijiang Heavy Industries only have ordinary truck technology, and they only occupy the market in the second- and third-rate small countries in Africa and the Middle East.

Think about the Daimler Group, people can spend 33 billion to acquire Chrysler, what kind of wealth is this? This is not earned from those second- and third-rate small countries, and the profits alone are still cars, especially brand cars, are the most profitable.

Chrysler owns Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep (Wrangler, Cherokee), DeSotho, Plymouth several more well-known brands, of course, the most valuable thing about the entire Chrysler company is that it has a number of patents, including some high-power engine technology and so on.

If these are not enough to impress Wang Batian's heart, then what about the production of military supplies and the national defense and aerospace industries? These add up to only 200 million to be able to take down, and Wang Batian has no reason not to fight for it.

Only fifteen billion? Naturally, the delivery to the Daimler family is 1.5 billion, and the main thing is to complete this transaction, so it is necessary to inject capital into Chrysler.

Don't look at the American businessman who can inject 6 billion yuan to make the US government relent, if it is replaced by Wang Batian, it is estimated that it will be at least 7 billion, so that Beijiang Heavy Industry will have to come up with at least 8 billion yuan, and this 8 billion yuan is still US dollars.

"Vincent, you should know that Beijiang Heavy Industries can't come up with so much money now."

Wang Batian's eyes were on Vincent, he understood that since Vincent opened his mouth, there must be a solution, he was not the kind of person who talked casually.

With a mysterious smile, Steward Vincent smiled: "The Duke has inherited more than just a title, an ancient castle, and a few farms. ”

"You mean ......"

"That's right, if you are interested in mortgaging Winston's land, Lord Duke, I believe that the major banks in Europe will be very interested."

Winston's land, that is the old duke's hundred years of accumulation, if you really use the value of the assessment, Winston's land is worth at least 10 billion pounds, after all, it is almost 60% of the land in Winston.

In particular, these lands are not just farms, including many buildings in Winston City that are named after the Duke of Winston, and naturally those are also owned by the Winston family.

Now Vincent's old butler has an obvious meaning, and he wants Wang Batian to mortgage these lands in exchange for the acquisition of Chrysler Company, but at this time, Wang Batian can't help but think about whether there are any traps in it.

Wang Batian has only been in England for more than a month, and he does not have enough trust in Vincent's old butler, and the foundation of the Winston family is the thousand-kilometer land of Winston and the hundreds of thousands of people living on that land.

If you lose that piece of land, Wang Batian will naturally lose control of the hundreds of thousands of people, so what is left of Duke Winston? It's just a lonely title. But at the same time, it can't be said that Chrysler Company has the allure of Wang Batian, and it is really very difficult to miss this opportunity to find such a cheap thing in the future, and Wang Batian couldn't help but hesitate for a while.

It doesn't matter if he hesitates outside, but there are still people waiting for him, Wen Sen's housekeeper reminded Wang Batian very responsibly, Wang Batian could only put down the hesitation in his heart and walked outside, and Yang Qian also followed closely behind.

When he came to the meeting room to see this German member of the European Parliament, Wang Batiancai couldn't help but feel a little emotionally about the other party's youth, but the age of his twenties was handsome, tall, and his serious appearance was very in line with the image of a German in Wang Batian's heart.

This young man of the Daimler family can be regarded as the absolute core of the Daimler family, if it were not for this, he would not have been arranged by his uncle to become a member of the European Parliament Germany, in terms of the strength of the Daimler family, it is already his best to support a person to the European Parliament, you must know that the whole of Germany is only 99 seats.

99 seats is already a lot? How can it be a lot, the government side takes most of it, and then the old aristocratic families take a part, and give them, the capital nouveau riche, how much is left?

Although the Daimler family is one of the largest consortium families in Germany, it is still far from those old families, they are only more than 200 years old, and their rise began on the eve of World War I, which cannot be compared with those aristocratic families that existed in the Middle Ages.
