Chapter 118: A New Voyage

Headquartered in Munich, a historic city and economic town in southern Germany, Eurasia Electronics Co., Ltd. is a very famous electronics company in Europe, with a history of 60 years, the company's shareholders are widely distributed, involving many military industrial groups in Europe, and is a military-based electronics company; In recent years, the company's business has begun to develop into the civilian field on a large scale, because the military market can no longer satisfy his appetite. Since the beginning of the 20s, Europe's military production has been in a state of decline, and the entire world's military projects are shrinking, which has greatly shrunk Europe's export military production; However, military production in Asia, especially in the Far East, has risen instead of falling, and has become a bright spot in the world's military production, attracting the attention of various leading industrial groups. As a relatively mature military electronics company, Eurasia Electronics is very famous in Europe, but there are many competitors, except for some military electronics companies in North America, even in Europe can not maintain a comprehensive technological leading position, in recent years, there is a tendency to be surpassed by opponents, after all, military projects are far less than civilian consumption. When the fairy company found Eurasia Electronics, it was a difficult period in the history of Eurasia Electronics, if it weren't for this, they would not have been controlled by the fairies, even the European Parliament was very difficult to overcome.

Eurasia Electronics is owned by a series of minority shareholders and a large shareholder, of which the SPECTRO family of Deutsche owns 56.25% of the company's shares and is one of the controlling shareholders and founders of the company. The SPECTRO family is a very prestigious family in Germany, whose business scope includes energy, electronics, machinery, automobiles, chemicals and real estate, and is an important shareholder in many large companies. This is a very powerful and influential family, and it is said that its family members are all over the political, sports, film and television industries, and is one of the oldest families in Europe. But like all old families, like all multi-industry conglomerates, the Spike family can also experience economic difficulties, especially when the economic situation is unpredictable. The Spike family has financial problems, which is the root cause for the fairy company to try to contact them, entities like the Spike family are far stronger than the fairy company, but once there is a problem, it also makes them a lot of trouble, "Rich people generally don't have problems, but once the problem comes, it's a big problem." In recent years, the European economy has been developing slowly, and the Spike family with Europe as the main market has naturally been deeply affected, this time the problem is Deutsche Power Company, due to poor management and other reasons, three consecutive years of losses, competitors are pressing, the company is in a difficult situation, the situation is worrying! The Spike family owns 35% of the company's shares and is the company's largest shareholder, so they are naturally more worried about the future of the power company, but the problem is that the economic benefits of the family-owned business are not very good, although 10 billion US dollars is nothing to the whole family, but now they can't make it up, either watch the power company fall into a vicious circle, slowly weaken, become smaller, and even go bankrupt, or sell her or sell the shares of other companies to save Germany's largest power company. At this time, it was a period when the fairy company was wandering around Europe and looking for a target, and the fairy company, which saw the right time, decided to "send money to the door". For the fairy's request to take control of Eurasia Electronics, the Spike family obviously could not accept it. There is a reason for this, first of all, Eurasia Electronics Company is an important company that they have been operating for many years, with advanced technology, broad market, and a number of military industrial groups and aviation groups have close ties, it is impossible for a company from China to hold, not to mention that this is one of the few large companies controlled by the family, and it is a symbol of the status of the entire family in Europe! At the same time, it is still unclear whether the transfer of such sensitive technology will be approved by the European Parliament, and the transfer of the entire company, which usually has many restrictions on the export of the company's products, can imagine the reaction of parliamentarians and politicians who are deeply wary of China, so they simply do not believe that the cooperation can be successful; And in recent years, although the company's sales volume has been declining year by year, the profit is still very high, once the new market is opened, it is still very profitable. Although the Spike family did not agree to the fairy's proposal, as a shrewd merchant family, of course, they would not categorically refuse, and it would be very good if they could win over this nouveau riche in China, at least open up a channel for Eurasian Electronics to enter China. For this reason, they also fantasized about cooperating with other companies controlled by the fairy family, but the fairy company obviously looked down on their other industries. In order to obtain advanced electronic technology, especially military electronic technology, they have successively contacted Israel's Yuko Electronics Company, France's Wicher Electronics Company, Italy's Skla Electronics Company, etc., these companies are very famous military electronics companies in the world, and the contact negotiations with these companies are also underway, and they will never give up their attempts.

The Spike family's conditions did not attract the fairy company in the slightest, and the fairy was not interested in anything but their electronics company, which brought the negotiations between the two sides to an impasse; On the contrary, the negotiations between the Fairy Company and the French company Wicher Electronics went relatively smoothly. Wicher Electronics Company is also a world-class advanced electronics company based on military electronics, and its products are also in the world's advanced ranks. However, this company also has a problem, that is, it is impossible for the fairy company to have a controlling stake, and at the same time it has a lot of business in China. The company made it clear that it would not accept a controlling shareholder, and the existing shareholders held less than 30% of the shares, and for a long time, a wonderful balance was maintained, and this balance was not something that the fairy company could break, but for the fairy company to obtain 25% of the company's shares, everyone was still able to accept it; And once the fairy gets 25% of the shares, it automatically owns the company's related technology, and the fairy with technology as the purpose of cooperation is indeed very tempting. Therefore, they almost signed a contract, and the reason why the contract was not successful was that the problem still appeared with Eurasia Electronics. After the early contact negotiations, the Spike family also had an in-depth understanding of the fairy company, and also understood the strong determination of the other party to enter the electronics industry, nearly 10 billion US dollars of investment, or the initial part, and then nearly 10 billion US dollars of investment, and according to the analysis of experts, the fairy electronic investment will be more than this, so the Spike family also became interested in the cooperation with the fairy.

The contact between the fairy company and other European military electronics companies was slowly learned by people who were interested. Israel's Yuko Electronics Company, because of the opposition and pressure of the United States, has a worrying prospect, and the possibility of ultimate success is very small, and the two sides only carry out some polite "politeness". Although Italy's Skla Electronics is very willing to take advantage of the new development opportunity of fairies, the company's technology is not the most advanced even in Europe, and it is not the best choice for ambitious fairies, so it is not the focus of fairy companies; At the same time, the political relationship between Italy and China has created some obstacles to cooperation between the two sides. Therefore, people have turned their attention to France's Wicher Electronics and Germany's Eurasia Electronics, both of which are the best choices for fairies to achieve technological breakthroughs. The breakthrough in the negotiations between the fairy and the Wychelle Electronics Company stimulated the Eurasian Electronics Company, you know, the Eurasian Electronics Company is not only a shareholder of the Spike family, although the other shareholders are not enough shares, but each shareholder is a powerful force, the Spike family must also listen to the opinions of other shareholders, for those shareholders, it will be a very good development opportunity to win over the fairy company, the original Wychelle Electronics Company has a trend of surpassing the Eurasian Electronics, if he and the fairy company sign a successful contract, So it goes without saying who is the most powerful military-industrial electronics company in Europe. China's huge electronics market demand is certainly not a paradise for Eurasian electronics, and the money will flow into the accounts of competitors, making them worried, and the pressure on the company's development forces them to submit their own proposals to the board of directors.

The fairy company also has its own considerations, and Wicher Electronics is a good choice, if the contract is successful, then it is worth the trip; However, Eurasia Electronics makes them even more excited, and if they can sign Eurasia Electronics, it will be the best choice. The reason why the fairy did not give up the negotiation with Eurasia Electronics was because the Spike family did not categorically refuse to cooperate, but proposed an alternative to "the fairy shares in Eurasia Electronics", and the news was immediately transmitted back to the B-Beijing headquarters, although the other party proposed a mutual shareholding, but this at least showed that the Spike family was able to accept the fairy into Eurasia Electronics, which showed that the fairy still had a little hope. This is the beginning of the long-lasting and arduous negotiations between the two sides! The Spike family is aware of the fairy's ambitions and wants to get a piece of the fairy's pie, but is flatly rejected by the fairy negotiators, "This is impossible", the negotiators said, because the boss has confessed that it is impossible for the other party to take a stake in the fairy electronics company, "no company can take a stake in the fairy electronics company". In the fairy woman's view, the electronics company is still a baby, and it has not yet increased in value, and they have the ability to make her increase in value, and it is impossible to cheapen other companies, not to mention that the fairy is not short of money to spend, with a very low debt ratio, and a high net income every year, not to mention that the negotiations of Wicher Electronics Company are "progressing very well". In the face of the deteriorating economic situation of Deutsche Power, the fairy company threw out a cake of 12 billion US dollars, which is not a small amount, although it cannot solve all the difficulties of the power company, but at least it can make them reorganize the rivers and mountains and revitalize the hope of the power company; At the same time, other shareholders have shown optimism about the fairy's shareholding in the company, believing that this is a good opportunity for Eurasia Electronics to open up the Chinese market, and can enhance the company's strength, increase her competitiveness in the European market, "at least can maintain an absolute advantage in the Chinese market for 5 years." The news that the fairies and the Wicher Electronics negotiations were about to be successful was accidentally obtained by these shareholders, which made everyone nervous. In recent years, the competition between Eurasia Electronics and Wicher Electronics is no longer in a relative lead, and many aspects have a tendency to catch up, especially the civilian side is lagging behind. As a result, in the face of the tempting promise of "not leading the development of the company for a certain period of time" promised by the fairy company, the shareholders were a little impatient. On the other hand, the Spike family is also becoming more and more difficult, the economic situation of the power company continues to deteriorate, the losses are getting worse and worse, and other industries are not able to support, after signing a private agreement with the fairy, finally agreed that the fairy company will become the second controlling shareholder of the company. The agreement stipulates that Fairy will first inject $4.3* billion to acquire a 20% stake in Eurasia Electronics, and then buy a portion of the remaining shares of the Spike family for $7.636 billion, totaling 35% of the company's shares. In this way, the Fairy Company acquired 55% of the shares of Eurasia Electronics, and as "some kind of compensation", the Fairy Company gave 80% of the upfront payment to the Spike family to "thank" the family for their "generosity" in abandoning the electronics company.

Fairy Company's acquisition of Eurasia Electronics has caused a strong response in Europe. People in the industry know the company's competitiveness in the field of military industry, according to the European Jane's review, she ranks among the top three in the world in a certain field in the world, and is at the same level as North American electronics companies. Everyone has speculated whether this means that "Fairy Company intends to enter the field of military electronics", and European electronics companies "will enter the Chinese military market". Now, the EU has already lifted the arms embargo on China, but the most advanced technology will not be easily given to China. Some fanhua elements are worried, and there are also remarks on the Internet that "Eurasia Electronics is prohibited from signing contracts with fairy companies", and some politicians have jumped out to express their opposition. However, the arms embargo on China has long since ended, and the EU has not explicitly stipulated that it cannot export advanced electronic technology to China, although everyone has been trying their best to maintain their relative technological superiority. In the past, the United States could exert tough pressure on the EU, but with the strengthening of the EU, the continuous enhancement of its independent capabilities, and the increasing influence of China's political, military and economic strength, it did not stop the cooperation between the successful fairy and the Eurasian Electronics Company. The effect of the fairy's injection of Eurasia Electronics soon manifested itself in the market, and the Eurasian Electronics stock of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange immediately rose by 15 percentage points, and in the following months, it rose by 40 percentage points, which shows the market's confidence in Eurasia Electronics! On the one hand, it has strengthened its investment in scientific research in the military industry and competed for the world market; On the other hand, we will increase investment in the development of the civilian field and compete for the market with companies such as Wicher. At the beginning of the third year, when the fairy's third injection of $2.9 billion was injected, the effect was already fully visible, reinvigorating her prestige in the European market; On the other hand, thanks to the financial support of the fairy, the Spike family has gradually reversed the downward trend of the power company, and the business has risen, gradually turning losses into profits, and the Spike family has also received tangible benefits from the fairy company. Li Mengze was warmly received by the Spike family in Europe, and many members of the family came forward to greet the distinguished guests from afar. The SPECTRO family also attaches great importance to the partner of a soon-to-be-huge family in China, an important family that is about to become a huge family, and they already have the foundation of a huge family, and the development will be unstoppable.

For some kind of cooperation between the two families, both sides reached the same message!

The Spike family is a fairy company, no, it should be an important harvest for Li Mengze. As a famous family, the Spike family has gone through several generations, with profound heritage, elegant manners, extensive knowledge, and many talents; Although he only met a small number of people, he also made someone deeply admired, and compared him with others, it was simply incomparable. A family that has survived for a hundred years is like a leader in the business world, which is worth learning from; What aroused the interest of the two women was the simple and elegant and large-scale manor of the Spike family, the whole villa was classical and solemn, simple but showed the strength of financial resources, which made people dare not underestimate it, this kind of cultural accumulation made the women the most excited, and naturally remembered their own homeyard. Compared to Spike, the Li family is just a small nouveau riche, far from forming its own characteristics; Of course, as a generation of entrepreneurs, it is obvious that Li Mengze already has sufficient conditions worthy of cooperation. A family that was in its prime, perhaps a little in decline, a strong, rising family that was about to become a huge family, began their hundred-hundred-year-long or even thousand-year-long cooperation! The current family leader of the Spike family is in his 50s, and in the face of the rising star of the East who is more than ten years younger than him, he seems a little kind, a little down, a little sad, and perhaps, a little envious; Li Mengze faced the young man who was more than ten years older than him, feeling excited, proud, a little envious, and a little longing. When both sides raise their glasses and wish each other well, a new era of cooperation has arrived!

Eurasia Electronics Co., Ltd. has advanced technology, excellent team, huge scientific research team, abundant funds, after getting a large amount of money from the fairy, it has improved the company's financial situation and injected new vitality into the company's development. Today's Eurasia Electronics once again showed its hideous magic teeth in front of its peers, ready to choose people to devour, he did live up to expectations, and his performance continued to rise, with annual sales from the original $8.5 billion to $14 billion, and net profits reached $6 billion, ensuring the company's further development. When the company has money, it has ambition, and when it has money, it becomes greedy; When a company is strong, he wants to devour those weak neighbors, and soon the fairy received an electronics company from Eurasia Electronics Holding Cologne, Federal Cologne, Germany, and invested 10 billion US dollars to acquire 52% of the company's shares, making Eurasia Electronics fully enter the civilian market. This electronics company is called Anjie Electronics Company, is a mainly engaged in civilian aspects of the electronics company, the market is broad, the profitability is relatively strong, and the Eurasian Electronics huge acquisition, so that its tentacles deeply into the civilian market, which makes the shares of Eurasia Electronics Company rise again, of course, the shareholders are very happy, "Eurasia Electronics got rid of the entanglement of Wicher Electronics Company." Although the share of Eurasian electronics in the civilian market is relatively small, the whole company is not ranked upstream among many electronic companies in Europe, and there are many companies that are much larger than him, but the electronics companies that have always been dominated by the military industry have forcibly entered the civilian industry, which cannot but make them pay attention to it. There is a difference between military and civilian technology, but relatively speaking, military technology is more advanced, once he has a technological advantage and opens up the market in the civilian field, then one day, she will become a strong competitor for them. The market value of Eurasia Electronics has risen from $22 billion to $38 billion, and in just a few years, assets have risen by nearly 73%, which cannot but make opponents vigilant. In recent years, the fairy company has not actually made profits from Eurasia Electronics, and the dividends are very small, but the relationship between Fairy and Eurasia Electronics is only here?

Li Mengze holds Eurasia Electronics, not in order to let her develop and grow, but for its leading technology in the field of military industry, through the introduction of Fairy Electronics Company, and now, they are implementing a predetermined strategy. Fairy Electronics was integrated in October last year, at least has withstood the challenges of the ensuing market, and after the situation stabilized, it was separated from the headquarters in July; After that, Fairy Electronics tried to introduce the advanced technology of Eurasian Electronics. Because the fairy company has been injected in February, fully owned the rights of Eurasia Electronics Company, and according to the contract can be the company's technology "appropriated for its own use", after the board of directors agreed, Fairy Electronics sent a large number of personnel in the name of the headquarters, Li Mengze and his entourage met some staff of Fairy Electronics Company when they were in Europe. Technology introduction is a complex problem, it takes a long time, for which the fairy's electronic chip research institute is also involved, which makes some technicians of Eurasian Electronics Company very uncomfortable, decades of technology accumulation, all of a sudden by the Chinese, but there is no way, now the company is all people's, what can they do! Fairy Electronics tossed in Eurasia Electronics Company for several months, "stole" a large amount of technical information, and even "borrowed" some scientific and technological personnel from Eurasia Electronics, almost copied most of the technical data of Eurasia Electronics, and even copied the instruments, bringing all these things into Donglin Electronics Company. According to the plan, Donglin Electronics will become a military electronics company of Fairy Electronics, copying the products of Eurasia Electronics Company; In the future, wherever Eurasian electronics expanded, the technology of fairy electronics tracked wherever it went, as long as it could get its hands on the technology, almost no one was spared, it was like a "robber-like" looting. Beginning in March, Donglin Electronics began a long process of learning from Eurasia Electronics for three years, and successively sent scientific researchers to enter Eurasia Electronics for further study, learning scriptures, until Donglin Military Electronics Company finally grew up, or continued to "steal" people's technology, until her technical strength surpassed others, at that time, she has grown into China's largest military electronics company, products began to enter the Asian and South American markets!

Eurasia Electronics naturally entered the Chinese market with the help of the fairy company, providing information to Donglin Electronics, providing personnel training for Donglin, all of which are rich to be made, and Donglin Electronics also has a profit share for imitating Eurasian electronic products. On the one hand, Eurasia Electronics provides support to Donglin, on the other hand, to expand the sales of military electronic products in China, orders come one after another, and do not need after-sales maintenance, Donglin Electronics is their "maintenance company" in China, some orders do not need to be produced at all, there are Donglin Electronics for their production, so that Eurasia Electronics has a lot of income, this alone, more than other military electronics companies in Europe.
