Chapter 503: The Storm is Coming Again
After thinking about it, Zhang Lan finally mustered up the courage and decided to cut this project: Forget it, this thing, it's better not to do it yourself! Although this thing is very profitable, the market is too small, and it has basically been monopolized by those few companies, and it may be difficult to get in and intervene by yourself. And it's not worth it to build a production line for a car that doesn't necessarily sell a few cars a year.
At present, the most important thing is to get the all-wheel drive military heavy truck up first!
Alice's "Snow Leopard" team is now actively preparing for the Dakar Rally, Zhang Lan went to see it once, and after returning from the holiday, the group of guys looked confident, all like bulls who have nowhere to vent their energy after eating. Zhang Lan secretly thought that everyone was so confident, and it was all thanks to the four high-performance racing cars modified by Xiao Chenxi and Alice.
"Volkswagen quoted a price of $650 million to Vickers Group," just when Zhang Lan felt that his life was beginning to become idle and was hesitating whether to go to school, Arnold told Zhang Lan about the negotiation process between Alice Group and Vickers Group, "I think Volkswagen means that there seems to be a possibility of further price increases." ”
It's not even October, and the Vickers Group has not put Rolls-Royce and Bentley up for sale, and the Volkswagen Group has already jumped out after BMW, and history has really changed. \//\
"Oh," Zhang Lan responded, not feeling anything wrong, this price is not strange, and it is even 60 million US dollars away from their final offer in history, "Then how did you deal with it?" What was the reaction of the Vickers Group? As for the Volkswagen Group, what actions have they taken? ”
"Of course, it's a further increase in the offer. We raised the offer to $680 million," Arnold was very disdainful of the Volkswagen Group's daring to fight with him for financial resources, and was very scornful of the Volkswagen Group's self-indulgent behavior, "The Vickers Group, of course, is pretending there, and finally hopes that our Alice Group and the Volkswagen Group will desperately raise the price, and the higher the price, the better!" As for the Volkswagen Group, according to the information we have, although they still have the ability to increase prices. But definitely not more than the number you said before. And really, as you say, they're now starting to make moves to get someone to lobby the Vickers shareholders. But don't worry, everything is expected. "How do you know that they will definitely go to those international banks and consulting firms to lobby the shareholders of the Vickers Group?" ”
How do I know the ground? Hearing Arnold ask this, Zhang Lan couldn't help but want to laugh: Of course, because that's what these guys did in history.
"Obviously," Zhang Lan couldn't help laughing, and the mischievous thoughts in her heart came up, and she was there to fool Arnold seriously, "Actually, it's like I said before, business negotiations between companies are similar to street hooligans fighting for turf." The Volkswagen Group saw that it might not be able to do us, so it naturally wanted to find a helper. How. How else can you expect these guys to duel with medieval knights and doel with us? Well, are we looking for someone too? ”
"Of course," Arnold suddenly looked proud at this point, "in terms of fighting, oh no, it's about finding people, how can they be our opponents?" In China we can get Volkswagen to run away with their tails between their legs, and in England we can beat them all over the ground in the same way! Even if it's to find someone to fight in a group at the end. The people we found are also higher than the people they found! ”
"Good job!" Zhang Lan felt that he was quite a bit of a demagogic master at this moment. \\\" Kick them in the face a few times, don't lose the face of our Alice Group! ”
"Of course!" Arnold was confident.
The Volkswagen Group was depressed. Very, very depressed, Piëch, the president of the Volkswagen Group, just couldn't figure it out. Why does the Volkswagen Group always come out and mix it up as long as it wants to get something? Why did the Alice Group target itself when it was in China, and now, the Alice Group is still targeting itself? In the words of the Chinese, could it be that the Volkswagen Group and the Alice Group could not collide?
Piëch, this guy, consciously and selectively forgot a fact: in this operation, it was the Alice Group that negotiated with the Vickers Group first, and the Volkswagen Group just came to intervene, relatively speaking, the Volkswagen Group should be cursed by the Alice Group, because at this moment, the Volkswagen Group is very much like the little three who were cursed - perhaps it was because of the appearance of the Volkswagen Group that the Alice Group finally spent a lot of money to be able to bring Rolls-Royce, Bentley, the world's top luxury car manufacturer, and Cosworth, a world-class engine manufacturing and research and development company, have got their hands on it.
Of course, while the Alice Group and the Volkswagen Group cursed each other, there were still people who were in a very good mood, and this was a very good mood, which was naturally the Vickers Group. \\/\ It's just that the most depressed person is none other than the Vickers Group, in the past two days, various business organizations in the United States and Germany have visited the Vickers Group in various names, and Vickers estimates that the number of people who have visited in the past half a month is more than last year!
These people came for only one purpose: either they were lobbyists for the Alice Group or lobbyists for the Volkswagen Group, and in short, they couldn't escape this matter: why didn't they find Rolls-Royce and Bentley so sought-after before?
Alas! What a sweet burden! Vickers shook his head, hoping that the Alice Group and the Volkswagen Group could pinch it hard in front of him, and the price would better rise hard, rather than being like a marquee now to trick himself into selling Rolls-Royce to whom.
"What do you think about this situation? What do you guys have to say? At the meeting of the board of directors of the Wickers Group, Wickers asked the directors of the group.
"Wait! Let's see who has the most money in the end, and we'll sell it to whom! "All the directors are all in the same mouth, all of you are old fritters who have been in the mall for many years, none of them are fools, everyone knows one thing: these guys who come to be lobbyists for Alice Group and Volkswagen Group, none of their origins are simple, no matter who they offend at this time, it is certain that the Vickers Group will not have a good time in the future. \\,
Then the best way is not to offend anyone, in the end to see who offers the highest price to sell to, everyone depends on who has more money and ability, fair and reasonable, these lobbyists can not say anything, naturally there is no risk of offending these guys.
Wait! Wix naturally knew that it was in his own interest to continue to wait, but Vickers gently rubbed his temples: these lobbyists, they can't just keep dragging them without giving an accurate reply, right? If you don't give them accurate information, you will offend these guys.
It is more in the interests of your own company to drag it down, but if you drag it out for too long, you will also offend a large number of people you don't want to offend; But if you don't delay, your company is likely to make a lot less money, and you will be in a dilemma, which is a headache.
"It can't be delayed like this," Wickers finally made a decision and raised his head, "I personally suggest that this matter should be resolved in October, and completely resolved in January at the latest, otherwise what the consequences will be if it drags on for a long time, I believe all the directors here also understand." When we go back, we think carefully about which company is best for us, and then we choose which company to choose. Alright, that's all for today's board. ”
Zhang Lan didn't know that the Vickers Group was in a dilemma now, even if he knew it, he wouldn't care too much, his previous budget would never be used, everything was under his control.
Now he is more concerned about the situation of the financial crisis in Southeast Asia, and now it is almost October, and Soros, who has licked his wounds and sharpened his minions, and their behind-the-scenes bosses are about to stretch out their claws against Japan and South Korea, two of their own minions, again.
Based on the huge losses of Soros and his behind-the-scenes bosses in Hong Kong, Zhang Lan has a lot of reason to believe that Soros and his bosses will definitely try their best to recover their losses in Hong Kong from other places. Then this also means that in the second wave of the offensive taken by Soros in this Southeast Asian crisis, it will definitely be more ferocious than in history, because only in this way can they make up for their previous losses, well, this also means that the unlucky Japanese and Goryeo sticks will be more unlucky than in history.
Zhang Lan was very curious, knowing that she was being cut and eaten by her master, I don't know what kind of feeling the leaders of these two countries would have in their hearts? Is it heartache? Is it sad? Helpless? It's still insensitive—it's not the first time I've been cut and eaten by my own American masters like this.
In order to adapt to this new changing situation, under Zhang Lan's suggestion, Alice's trader team has readjusted the battle plan they had drawn up before, and this new financial battle plan is more powerful and fierce than the original plan.
Well, of course, the damage to Japan and South Korea will be greater. But Zhang Lan doesn't care: for Japan, it is estimated that every Chinese is eager to step on the soles of their feet fiercely and never give them a chance to turn over; For the wall-head grass of Goryeo sticks, the bastard who always wants to snatch things from his former suzerain, is even more eager to strangle him with a rope.
Being able to snatch food from Soros, a world-famous hedge fund predator, is enough for these traders to be excited just by thinking about it: if they can succeed, doesn't it mean that they already have the ability to compete with internationally renowned hedge funds such as Soros's Quantum Fund? This is the wish of every guy who aspires to be the best trader in the world.
