Chapter 489: Relieving Worries

Old fox! Vickers scolded secretly in his heart, but his face was still kind, going around in circles, everyone has been rolling in the mall for many years, isn't what he is best at is going around in circles, playing haha, and saying some nonsense that has been talked for a long time but has no substantive content? As long as it's someone who eats in this circle, who wouldn't do this?

"I believe that Mr. Bolton has also heard of the financial situation of the group, and has reached the point where it is necessary to adjust the group's business, and in order to solve this problem, the sale of Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Cosworth, which have caused a great burden on the group, has become the inevitable choice of the group. And I believe that Mr. Bolton should know that the amount of losses paid to Rolls-Royce PLC every year for Rolls-Royce is not a small number, right? Vickers rested his elbows on the table, his hands crossed in support of his chin, as if he were begging for advice.

"Well, I do know something." This is his own company's problem, this question Bolton has no way to answer, so he can only nod, which is a disguised admission that Rolls-Royce has indeed become a burden that Rolls-Royce PLC is also eager to fall off.

Just admit it! Wix was secretly happy in his heart: as long as you admit this, the following things will be much easier!

"And can Mr. Bolton tell us what you really think?" Vickers' hands were intertwined, his head was slightly raised, and the corners of his eyebrows were slightly raised, "This decision made by the group is related to the vital interests of Vickers Group and Rolls-Royce PLC. I don't want to cause some unnecessary unpleasantness because we don't communicate enough and don't know each other well enough. In addition, we at Vickers Group are also one of the shareholders of Rolls-Royce PLC, so I believe that it is necessary for our company to have a certain attitude towards this matter, right? ”

This is forcing yourself to make a statement! Burton smiled bitterly in his heart.

"Then let me briefly say," since Vickers had spoken to such an extent, Bolton naturally could not be sloppy anymore, and paused, "I believe that the distinguished Mr. Vickers and the distinguished directors present here have already understood the two attitudes held within Rolls-Royce PLC, right?" ”

"Got it." Wix nodded, motioning for Bolton to continue.

"To be able to solve this problem that has plagued the company for a long time is, of course, the unanimous desire of the company's directors. But while the directors were thinking about this issue, they were also worried about what would happen if the company that took over Rolls-Royce would not be able to carry Rolls-Royce forward after the sale of the Rolls-Royce brand, leading to the decline of the pride of the British car industry. Although we all want to sell a Rolls-Royce for a good price. But at the same time, if Rolls-Royce can be sold to ensure that the brand does not decline, that is what each of us wants to see. How can the Alice Group ensure that Rolls-Royce will not fall in their hands, but will revive the glory of Rolls-Royce of course? Burton asked.

When Burton said this, he already agreed with Vickers in disguise: as long as the Alice Group can solve the problem of selling the Rolls-Royce brand to them, it will not decline. I am supporting the Alice Group in taking over Rolls-Royce in its entirety. The point is, can the Alice Group not let the Rolls-Royce brand fall into their hands?

Unfortunately, the focus is still on Rolls-Royce. Bentley and Cosworth were once again relegated to the back burner by the two companies: how useful could Bentley, a luxury sedan brand that Rolls-Royce had deliberately suppressed for seven decades, do?

Bentley and Rolls-Royce are like Maserati and Ferrari, but for Ferrari, Maserati is an important sub-brand and an important complement to Ferrari. Ferrari's second place within the group; But Bentley is for Rolls-Royce. It's just a small supporting role to make up for the shortcomings of their product line, so that Bentley doesn't put too much pressure on Rolls-Royce. It even needs to be deliberately suppressed.

"There's another issue that's also worth considering," he said. Bolton added, "All gentlemen know one thing, now all the engines of Rolls Royce cars are provided by BMW, and its main spare parts are also provided by BMW, if after the Alice Group takes over Rolls-Royce, BMW does not provide engines and spare parts for Rolls-Royce?" Although Rolls-Royce has been sold by us at that time, although the situation of Rolls-Royce has nothing to do with us anymore, after all, we have watched Rolls-Royce step by step to the present, Rolls-Royce is like our children, we don't want to see the situation that Rolls-Royce is most unwilling to let us see because BMW does not provide Rolls-Royce engines to the Alice Group. ”

"This problem is also what we are most concerned about now," Vickers said with a kind face, looking like he was really worried about the future of Rolls-Royce, "We have also asked Alice Group to answer this question, and Alice Group told us that they have a complete solution to this problem, so we don't have to worry." ”

Seeing what Bolton was about to say, Vickers hurriedly interrupted him, "Of course, we can't trust them just by what Alice Group says, so we ask them to provide written materials to prove that they can indeed do this. Now the Alice Group is already preparing materials to tell us how Rolls-Royce will not lose the glory of the British Empire after Rolls-Royce is in the hands of the Alice Group. ”

"Is that so?" Bolton pondered for a moment, as if he had finally made up his mind, and nodded, "Dear Mr. Chairman, when the Alice Group sends this material from them, can you let me see it?" When I saw this material, that's when I made a decision. Burton's meaning is obvious: as long as the Alice Group can indeed do what they say, then he will support the Alice Group to take over Rolls-Royce; On the contrary, he supported BMW to accept Rolls-Royce. After all, if Rolls-Royce, the pride of the British Empire's automobile industry, can also be revived, it is natural that whoever gives more money will sell it to whom! No one can cope with the fullness of their money bag! ,

"Of course there's no problem with that." Vickers smiled,

Vickers knew he was close to success. Although I don't know what Alice Group is doing, a car company that has been able to grow its automobile industry from scratch to what it is now in such a short period of time seems that no car manufacturer in the world has been able to do what they are doing now.

Alice Group's actions were very fast, and soon, the materials prepared by Alice Group had already reached the hands of the Vickers Group Board of Directors.

The materials are introduced in detail, first of all, from the glory of their own company: now the cars of China's high-level officials are all using the "Longxuan" series of luxury cars produced by Alice (China) Group, and the leaders of the Chinese national brand are all using the "Longxuan" nine series luxury cars of Alice (China) Group as exclusive cars.

The Longxuan series of sedans is not a new brand, it is developed on the basis of the former Soviet Union's "Gies" series of head-of-state luxury cars. From the "Gis-115" sedan in which Stalin, the most successful leader of the Soviet Union, was ridden by the "Gis-41052," the first president of Russia after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, they have always chosen the "Gis" series of luxury bulletproof sedans.

The engines of the "Longxuan" series of sedans also fully adopt the engines of the "Guis" series of luxury cars, and the engines selected by the cars of the Chinese brand leaders are the engines used in the best bulletproof cars of the Soviet Union, the "Guis-41052". At the end, a photo of the "Longxuan" series of sedans is attached. Explain to the directors of the Vickers Group how good the Alice Group's "Longxuan" series of sedans really is.

Similarly, the material also mentions that Alice Group has carried out a comprehensive transformation and improvement of the engine of the "Gees" series applied to the "Longxuan" series of cars, which not only further enhances the performance, but also further enhances the smoothness of the engine power output, and the company's uniquely designed automatic transmission can also be perfectly matched with this engine. At the same time, the noise of the engine is further reduced, and the noise is kept within a fairly low range.

The material also shows that if the Vickers Group is not very satisfied with the above materials, you can go to China to experience the charm of the "Longxuan" nine-series sedan, as long as you sit on it, the moment you close the door, you can immediately understand why the Chinese high-level after the "Longxuan" series of luxury cars immediately abandoned the official Audi limousine that had been chosen before, and chose the "Longxuan" of the Alice Group.

The "Guise-41052" is quite mysterious in the eyes of Westerners, and its degree of dignity is no less than that of Rolls-Royce in the eyes of the British.

With the "Guise-41052" car as the foundation here, the two guys Vickers and Bolton are finally much more relieved: if the Alice Group has such technical strength, there is really no need to worry about the Rolls-Royce being sold to the Alice Group, and the Alice Group will be stuck in the neck by the BMW car.

In the future, even if the worst happens, Rolls-Royce will not have the engine and spare parts provided by BMW, and in terms of technology and spare parts, the Alice Group itself will be able to prop up Rolls-Royce.
