Chapter 429: Winston Motor Company
Because of the actions of the American consortium, Beijiang Heavy Industries and Hengtian Group have stopped preparing for listing in the United States, and at this time, because of becoming a member of the Labor Party, Yang Qian received an invitation, and the current Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer Brown hopes that Yang Qian can take the post of Auditor General of the British Treasury. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The auditor general is not an ordinary position, and the power of the auditor general in the entire treasury department can rank in the top ten, second only to several secretaries and permanent secretaries, which should be the first director in Washington after the deputy minister.
Brown would certainly not be stingy with the post of first secretary if he could, but the dignified Duchess was the secretary to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and even the first secretary was a bit rude.
To be honest, Brown didn't know what Yang Qian's ability was, but he thought there was absolutely nothing wrong with a district chief who had managed hundreds of thousands of people to serve as the auditor general. The main thing is that she has the husband of a duke, and at the same time this duke husband also holds a lot of wealth.
Yes, the fundamental purpose of Brown and the current Prime Minister still hope that Wang Batian can increase investment in the UK, and in a certain respect, Yang Qian's current position can be said to be bought by Wang Batian with money.
Winston Bank is ready to build a new automobile kingdom with Beijiang Heavy Industries, although this automobile kingdom cannot be placed in the United Kingdom due to labor problems, but Wang Batian owns not only this automobile kingdom that is ready to be a joint venture, those few pieces of land are sold for 6.5 billion pounds, and the acquisition of Chrysler is only 3.5 billion pounds enough.
The British cabinet knows that Winston Bank is ready to spread out in Europe with Hengtian Group, and if he can, the British prime minister naturally hopes that most of this investment will go to the UK.
Now that Wang Batian is the Duke of England, Britain is also half of his country, and even the leader of the Labour Party is a lobbyist, Wang Batian is finally ready to invest a large amount of money in Britain.
The development of Hengtian Construction Company is one thing, Wang Batian really wants to build a huge amount of money is Hengtian Hotel and Hengtian Shopping, but this will inevitably collide with international retail giants, Wang Batian has just offended several major consortiums in the United States because of Chrysler Corporation, at this time, if you provoke retail giants, to be honest, it is not a wise choice.
Compared with those giants, the current Wang Batian is still very weak, Winston Bank is the core, Beijiang Heavy Industries, Hengtian Group, Kaitian International Cinema, Kaitian International Film and Television are supplemented, only the real completion of the integration, at this time Wang Batian may be able to fight with them.
In April 2007, the hottest news of the month was about the acquisition of Chrysler by Beijiang Heavy Industries, not only in Europe, but also in Washington.
The acquisition of up to 7 billion US dollars, converted into RMB 50 billion, if it can really complete this acquisition, Bac Giang Heavy Industries can become a domestic heavy industry giant, even in the whole of Asia.
Chrysler is not an ordinary company, at its peak market value of 100 billion dollars, Chrysler has fallen to today has little to do with channels and brands, mainly because of the United States pension and operational problems.
The acquisition of Bac Giang Heavy Industries and DaimlerChrysler has reached the final juncture, and everything is going well, and the Bac Giang Municipal Government in Washington has been ready to help Bac Giang Heavy Industries hold a celebration party, but at this time, an unexpected appearance appeared.
It was supposed to be a joint acquisition of DaimlerChrysler by Winston Bank and Beijiang Heavy Industries, but I don't know why, at the most critical time, Beijiang Heavy Industries suddenly withdrew from the acquisition, and Winston Bank privately reached an agreement with DaimlerChrysler to acquire the car brands Maybach, Clellers, Dodge and Jeep and commercial vehicle brands including Mercedes-Benz and Friedroner.
The six brands, including the corresponding processes, research institutes and three assembly lines, are packaged for a total of 3 billion pounds, and over the next three years, Daimler AG will help train more than 1,000 senior engineers for the soon-to-be-founded Winston Motor Company.
DaimlerChrysler's move naturally aroused dissatisfaction in the United States, because they knew very well that DaimlerChrysler would spin off Chrysler and file for bankruptcy in the United States.
Compared to selling Chrysler to Winston Bank, Chrysler would make a lot of money, because it would only make a maximum of 300 million pounds, and now it can get 3 billion pounds, although doing so will make the United States hate the German Daimler Group.
Although it is not easy to do this and need to take advantage of legal loopholes, Daimler Group is a German company after all, not an American company, and now the United States has a lot of influence in the European Union, but it is almost impossible to suppress a German group with this.
The Daimler Group is extremely important to the German industry, you must know that in the last year, the Daimler Group's operating income was 150 billion euros, ranking eighth in the world's top 500.
Such a company is enough for the German Chancellor to stand up and take the blame, and if one thing rises to politics, then the final result is no result, and the United States can only admit loss.
The reason why Bac Giang Heavy Industries was excluded from this incident was that Wang Batian understood that Bac Giang Heavy Industries was inferior to Daimler Group and Winston Bank, and they could only collapse at the slightest touch in the face of confronting the strength of American capital.
Although Britain is the most loyal younger brother of the United States, as long as Wang Batian agrees to put the Winston Motor Company with a potential of 100 billion yuan in the United Kingdom, it is believed that it is worthy of the British Prime Minister to stand up and fight a dozen lawsuits with the US Government together with the German Chancellor. When a group reaches the level of Daimler, its actions are not only a business matter, but also affect the political system and a series of official promotions.
Just like the Chrysler Corporation, if the Chrysler Corporation can be kept in the UK, it will be able to solve at least 30,000 jobs, and the ruling Labour Party will be able to get more votes in the general election because it helps workers solve the job problem.
With the help of the German Chancellor and the British Prime Minister, the matter was naturally completed, and the quarrel continued until June 2007.
Maybach, Clares, Dodge and Jeep, Mercedes-Benz, and Freightliner have become brands under Winston Motor Company, which is registered in Winston, and the factory workshop is under construction, and the assembly line is also being disassembled and transported, and it is expected to complete disassembly, transportation, and installation within four months.
The quarrel was as inconclusive as it was thought at first, and it was not until the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom submitted his resignation and was succeeded by the Minister of the Treasury, Mr. Brown, that there was no probable outcome of the matter.
The U.S. side acquiesced in Daimler's actions, but the U.S. government hoped that Daimler and Winston Bank would make some compensation to Chrysler, and in return, the U.S. government would allow Winston Motors to accept Chrysler's research institute and package Chrysler into Winston Motors after bankruptcy.
The U.S. government is a typical businessman, and since the matter has come to this point, it simply admits defeat, and as long as it can get greater benefits, they can even sell the Chrysler Corporation to Winston Motor Company without regard for face.
Although Winston would have paid more for Chrysler, it was worth it, because the high pension through bankruptcy was negotiated by the U.S. government.
Lee Kuang-ki, president of Winston Bank, went to Germany to discuss with the president of the Daimler Group, and the Daimler Group simply said that if the hostility of the United States could be eliminated by paying a sum of compensation, then they would be willing to pay the money.
Daimler Group has no opinion, Winston Bank will naturally not have it, you must know that the biggest benefit is Winston Bank, after all, the United States admits that it will acquiesce to Winston Motor Company can buy Chrysler at a low price.
Although Chrysler has now lost its core technology and brand, those workshop assembly lines are also worth a lot of money, and if they can be won, Chrysler will soon be able to return to its peak output.
With the relationship of Bac Giang Heavy Industries in Washington, Winston Automobile Company has a very market in Washington, and now the number of wealthy people in Washington is gradually increasing, whether it is Chrysler or Maybach luxury cars are quite marketable in China, and there will be no big problem with sales.
The United States did not ask for too much compensation, the two companies could pay two billion dollars together, and the Daimler Group was the big man after all, and only 300 million pounds was allocated to Winston Bank, which is less than 700 million dollars.
In this way, Daimler Group also has its own ideas, and the Daimler Group does not want to offend the United States the most, compared to Daimler Group, Winston Bank is a real broken can, and Daimler Group is also worried that if Winston Bank bears too much, Winston will directly choose to give up.
That's it, Daimler Group also sold a car tire brand to Winston Motor Company to compensate, in line with the psychology of not wanting to be in vain, Winston Motor Company naturally simply paid for this well-known car tire brand.
Because the project of Chrysler Company cost more money than budgeted, in the end, Hengtian Construction was affected in some way, and the project that should have been built could only be temporarily delayed.
Although Zhu Yunsheng was not satisfied, he also understood the difficulties of Winston Bank, so he had no choice but to find Yang Qian and seek Hengtian Group to be listed in London.
With Brown about to take over as Prime Minister of the Cabinet, coupled with the formation of Winston Motor Company, Yang Qian is likely to become the second minister of the Treasury (deputy minister) after Brown becomes the prime minister of the United Kingdom. (To be continued.) )
