Chapter 729: Investing in Wolf Castle?

"Perhaps...... Maybe we can take a stake in Wolfsburg? ”

In the silence, a weak voice rang out. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Who is this, this kind of idea can be thought of, how big is this brain hole?

Everyone hurriedly looked in the direction where the voice came from, well, well, it's Du Sirui.

No one laughed, all of the people who could participate in this meeting were the core executives of Runhua Industry, no matter how ridiculous the suggestions sounded, everyone would not laugh, this was the least respect for themselves, but this did not affect everyone to refute Du Sirui's words, Pascal Schultz was the first to jump out: "Mr. Du, it is impossible for Wolfsburg to agree to our shareholding request, they are a large automobile manufacturer with an annual output of nearly one million cars......"

"What does Wolfsburg's production capacity of nearly one million cars have to do with our shareholding?" Du Sirui asked rhetorically: "Although they now have a production capacity of nearly 900,000 vehicles a year, how bad is our Runhua Industry?" Let's not say that after the completion of our round of expansion plan, the annual production capacity can also exceed 100,000 vehicles, and if we can finally defeat Wolfsburg and successfully invest in Skoda, the annual production capacity will jump to more than 300,000 vehicles. Who says that companies with low annual production capacity can't invest in companies with high annual production capacity? What's more, compared with automobiles, we still have the pillar business of motorcycles, why can't we take a stake in Wolfsburg? ”

Hey......

yes, why can't we take a stake in Wolfsburg?

Du Sirui didn't say it, everyone really didn't expect this, but now that Du Sirui reminded him, everyone's hearts began to grow wildly: In the past, we always felt that there was a big gap between us and Wolfsburg cars, and Wolfsburg was an existence that we could only look up to, but now when I heard Mr. Du say this, the gap between us and Wolfsburg doesn't seem to be so big? Why can't we take a stake in Wolfsburg and become a shareholder of Wolfsburg?

If you can really succeed in taking a stake in Wolfsburg, haha...... I really want to see what kind of expression SAIC and FAW will have on their faces with their nostrils soaring all day.

But Pascal Schultz is not so easy to fool, he immediately said: "Whether Runhua Industrial can take a stake in Wolfsburg Automobile depends on two factors: first, whether Wolfsburg Automobile allows Runhua Industrial to take shares, and second, what benefits can Runhua Industrial get from Runhua Industrial by taking a stake in Wolfsburg?" Let's not talk about the first point, but only the second point, what good can we do? ”

"We can get a lot of benefits," Du Sirui seemed to be thinking more and more clearly, hearing this, he immediately said: "First of all, because we have become a shareholder of Wolfsburg, we can ask Wolfsburg to send their management team to assist Runhua Industry to build a more scientific and reasonable management system, how much benefit can an excellent management system bring us, I don't need to say more, right?"

Secondly, we can also use the relationship with Wolfsburg to build a relationship with the international supplier system and purchase better quality spare parts. It is an indisputable fact that there is still a gap between the quality of our products and the international level, but the reason for this phenomenon, in addition to our own strength gap, the overall ability and level of domestic auto parts suppliers and the international level are still quite far behind, which is also an indisputable fact.

As long as we can take a stake in Wolfsburg, our management level and vehicle quality level can be immediately raised to a higher level, are these two benefits enough? ”

Pascal Schultz stopped talking, are these two benefits enough?

Enough!

Enough is enough!

The only question is whether the three major shareholders of Wolfsburg Motors: the Porsche family, the Piëch family, and the state government of Lower Saxony in Germany, will allow Runhua to take a stake?

"Try it, hasn't Chairman Chen been saying, trying may not be successful, but if you don't try, you won't succeed." Du Sirui said very freely: "Anyway, even if we don't succeed, we won't have any loss." ”

"Uh...... Well, "even Pascal Schultz was on the verge of defeat in the face of such a powerful reason, but on the other hand, another problem was at hand: "But to do so would be very detrimental to the interests of the spare parts suppliers we are working with now......"

"I think this is an opportunity to force them to improve their level," Du Sirui's tone was very murderous: "Those spare parts suppliers who cooperate with us, the product quality meets the needs of low-end models is not much of a problem, after all, low-end users do not have too high requirements for the quality of products, but they are not enough for high-end models."

In the past few years, we have been urging them to improve the quality of products, but the effect has not been very obvious, in this case, then we might as well use this way to warn some uncooperative enterprises: if you can not meet our needs, we are not impossible to find another partner......"

Hearing Du Sirui's words, Chen Geng knew that this guy had been thinking about this matter for a day or two, but Du Sirui's words reminded Chen Geng that some spare parts suppliers were indeed going to knock and knock.

People are different after all, although they are relying on the support of Runhua Industry to get to the present, mixed wind and water, but the position is different, the mentality is also different, no longer the previous gratitude, on the contrary, may feel that Runhua Industry will be greatly affected by their own departure, in the past two years, Runhua Industry's core spare parts suppliers are indeed a little slack, although the cooperation is still very cooperative, but there are many times when prevarication and slackness.

That's it!

Even if the cooperation with Wolfsburg cannot be reached, Runhua Industry wants to go further, it must cooperate with international spare parts suppliers and use better quality spare parts.

"But there's a problem," Lin Shuyao, who hadn't spoken much, spoke: "How much money can we get to invest in Wolf Castle?" Again, how many shares of Wolfsburg do we have to hold to ensure our interests? ”

The scene was confused!

Everyone is collectively dumbfounded!

Everyone has been discussing it for so long, but they have ignored the most basic question: did Runhua Industry make such a large amount of money?

It doesn't mean much to have less shareholding, but at least you have to hold more than 7% of the shares, right? But let's not talk about the shareholders of Wolfsburg, who is willing to sell this 7% of the shares, let's say how much does this part of the shares cost? It can't be less than $200 million! For Runhua Industrial, spending $200 million to acquire a 7% stake in Wolfsburg is too extravagant.

Du Sirui, who made this request at the beginning, couldn't laugh or cry with a smile on his face: he was fighting geese all day long, and he didn't bring a bow when he went out!

————————————————

"No, no, no, it can't be!"

Regarding Chen Geng's request that Runhua Industrial should have more than 50% of the voting rights, but could make some concessions on the dividend rights, Ferdinand Piëch's head shook like a rattle: "Wolfsburg requires at least 50.1% of the equity, whether it is the right to dividends or voting rights, not a single point is missing!" This is the bottom line of Wolfsburg! ”

"That's not to talk about," Chen Geng sighed: "We can be made some concessions in terms of dividend rights, but we must have more than half of the voting rights, which is also the bottom line of Runhua Industry!" Mr. Piëch, it's a pity that we can only speak on our own merits. ”

Trouble!

Ferdinand Piëch tugged at his hair: How can this dilemma be solved?

For Wolfsburg, the absolute holding of Skoda is an established decision, and it is absolutely impossible to give up this, but now it seems that this is also the established decision of Runhua Industry, so what should I do? Piëch asked tentatively, "Chen, in this way, Wolfsburg can make some concessions in the dividend right." ”

In other words, we will never compromise on voting rights.

"We can also make concessions in terms of voting rights," Chen Geng's attitude is equally resolute: "But if we don't have full decision-making power, we'd rather buy it ourselves!" ”

The two stared at each other, and neither of them would budge.

The boss froze, and the little minions below were also in a hurry, seeing that the two sides didn't have to fight, who would have thought that there would be another pit here? Alexandra couldn't help but say, "Mr. Chen, what does this absolute controlling stake do to you?" Runhua Industry is not familiar with the situation and habits in Europe, and I do not think that Runhua Industry, which has no experience in managing multinational companies, can manage Skoda well.

But we are different from Wolfsburg Automobile, Wolfsburg not only has a number of overseas companies, has a wealth of overseas enterprise management experience, and at the same time maintains a good cooperative relationship with a number of top international suppliers, we can change Skoda's current situation at the fastest speed, with the fastest speed to turn Skoda into profits, this is also to help Runhua Industry make money, I think, in these places our interests are the same.

Based on this situation, I think it is actually safer for Runhua Industry to hold part of the part, and please believe that Wolfsburg will respect the rights of Runhua Industry very much. ”

"That's right," Piëch nodded immediately: "Mr. Chen, please believe us, Wolfsburg will give enough respect to the rights and interests of Runhua Industrial in Skoda." ”

Dude, if I believe it, it's a mallet! What kind of virtue is a Wolfsburg car, is there anyone in this world who is more familiar with it than himself? Chen Geng complained in his heart, but shook his head with regret: "That's a pity, Mr. Piëch, although it is very rare, I have to tell you that we are completely unacceptable to your conditions......"

"Wait a minute! Mr. Chen, wait a minute! ”

Before Chen Geng's words were finished, Deputy Director Li couldn't sit still, he hurriedly interrupted Chen Geng's words, waved his hand at Chen Geng anxiously, and at the same time tried to squeeze out a smile on Piëch: "Mr. Piëch, can you give us a little time, I want to talk to Mr. Chen Geng." ”

Things have taken a turn for the better? Piëch's heart thumped, and he quickly nodded: "Of course it's no problem, you please." ”
