$3.2 billion, nine billion dollars higher than Tata's acquisition of Land Rover and Jaguar in the previous life, but you must know that there is 20 percent of Mazda's shares, and after getting these shares, Jin Xiaoqiang will undoubtedly become the largest single shareholder in Mazda.

You must know that when Mazda bought back its shares in the previous life, the price was not so cheap.

After thinking about it for three days, Jin Xiaoqiang finally gritted his teeth and took down Land Rover and Mazda, not to mention the best-selling ratio of Land Rover in China in the future, that is, Mazda also quickly got out of the trough after breaking away from Ford, so it is very worthwhile to spend some money and take some risks for these two brands at this time.

Of course, the most important thing is that Mazda is the company that has the highest degree of contact with foreign companies and openness to the outside world among Japanese companies.

You must know that back then, Mazda introduced a lot of models in Japan, such as some Ford models that year, they were replaced with Mazda's logo before they began to be sold in Japan.

However, in general, the sales of Ford cars introduced by Mazda in Japan are not too good, but in Jin Xiaoqiang's view, this has nothing to do with Mazda, mainly because Americans are too self-righteous.

You must know that in a country like Japan, which is extremely resource-scarce, its people's consumption concept is diametrically opposed to that of the United States.

Moreover, the Americans' rough assembly process is also unbearable for Japanese consumers who are accustomed to meticulous craftsmanship. Therefore, in the end, the Ford series introduced by Mazda can be said to be undoubtedly a rout in the Japanese market.

Mazda's own products, in addition to the early rotary engines. In addition to some civilian coupes, ordinary passenger cars are not very popular with Japanese consumers. In the Japanese automobile market, Toyota, Honda and Nissan are basically the top three, with Toyota having the largest market share.

Mazda's ordinary civilian models generally live by exporting foreign exchange, but the first-generation Mazda6 launched that year was still popular in Japan.

In that year, it won the title of the most popular car in Japan, and once set a miracle of selling more than 30,000 units a month in Japan. So from this point of view, it can be seen that it is not that Japanese people do not like the Mazda brand.

In fact, as long as you can get the right product, then you will definitely be welcomed in the market.

Another point made Jin Xiaoqiang firm in his determination and accepted Mazda The main reason for accepting Mazda was the Thunderbird Bank in his hand, and the main predecessor of the Thunderbird Bank was Lehman in the United States.

You must know that Lehman was able to become famous in the early years because of its close relationship with Asian countries and powerful economies. It can even be said that the reason why Lehman was able to make a fortune in the early years was because of his close relationship with the Japanese government in the early years.

It was by being the first to underwrite Japanese government credit bonds in the U.S. market that Lehman earned its first pot of gold in the early days.

After the end of World War II, Lehman had a closer relationship with Japan's major conglomerates and the Japanese government, knowing that several major investment banks in the United States. It is not easy to enter the Japanese financial market, but only Lehman can come and go freely.

Moreover, Lehman also had a close relationship with Mitsubishi's Nomura Securities, and even once rumored that it was going to acquire Nomura, which was not groundless.

Lehman is also an American-funded financial institution that employs the most Japanese employees in Japan, and as a Japanese government that has always been conservative to the outside world, and the Japanese financial community, it can accommodate such a big fish as Lehman, which is an absolute outlier in the eyes of outsiders.

After Jin Xiaoqiang took over Lehman, he did not take the initiative to show his head, and a series of reorganization actions after Lehman was taken over were carried out by him by remote control behind his back, Alice took the lead, and by her side, there was also the assistance of Jin Xiaoqiang's carefully built team for a long time, and it was under such circumstances that they were able to fully control Lehman and reorganize it into a small consortium with Thunderbird Bank as the main body.

After taking over Lehman, Jin Xiaoqiang's main concern was to maintain Lehman's original network in Europe and Asia, especially in London and Japan, which was what Jin Xiaoqiang was most concerned about.

Fortunately, under the pressure of the financial crisis, the employees who were left behind by Lehman worked hard to keep their jobs, because everyone knows that the company has changed now.

It is no longer the same as before, if the company wants to lay off employees, it will face the blame of the government and the Ministry of Labor, and no matter how bad it is, everyone can join forces to strike and confront the company.

But now in this world, such a means is still provincial, if you don't want to do it, there are countless people waiting for you to resign and not do it, get out of here.

Therefore, with the efforts of the company's employees, most of Lehman's original customer relationship network has been taken over by the current Thunderbird Bank and Thunderbird limelight.

Of course, Lehman's original debt, Thunderbird's side, pushed two, six, five, either to the U.S. government, or to the original Lehman.

During this period, as the nominal head of the company, Alice also personally visited London and Japan, and now the election situation in the United States is basically clear.

Although there is still some stalemate in the election, in fact, anyone with a discerning eye understands that it will be a sure thing for Ao Xiaohei to enter the White House next year.

And this Ms. Alice is said to be a good friend of the future president of the United States, and it is said that when Ao Xiaohei participated in the election campaign in the early years, this Alice Ms. Alice has been the main sponsor of Ao Xiaohei.

And now Ms. Alice's series of business investments on Wall Street have become a legend, although everyone does not know much about the specific speculations of the Thunderbird company she controls, after all, those are secrets.

But everyone knows that this Ms. Alice has a very good vision, and she has done a good job in the first few series of events in the United States, and has obtained very rich returns on her investment in the financial market.

It is against this aura of mystery and a strong background that Ms. Alice's visit to London and Japan, and especially Japan, has been very successful.

In London, she and the senior directors of Barclays Bank relieved themselves of their previous suspicions, and they had a bit of an unpleasant quarrel over the acquisition of Lehman, but soon they formed a new strategic alliance.

In Tokyo, Ms. Alice was warmly welcomed by the Mitsubishi Foundation, and the financial crisis was also a huge disaster for Japan, which has always relied mainly on exports to drive its economy.

Japan's financial industry has also suffered a heavy blow when the manufacturing industry is struggling, especially after the Madoff fraud scandal broke out in the United States, and the financial tycoons in Japan have a hard time.

You must know that there are several Japanese investment institutions and investment banks, but they are all big customers of Madoff, and that guy has cheated the world of 50 billion US dollars, which is still low.

In the past few years, everyone who has played finance has not had a good time, but this newly established Thunderbird consortium is different, it can take out billions of cash in one go in this year, take down the Lehman consortium, and settle in Manhattan, except for those oil tycoons in the Middle East, there are really not many.

So now every move of the Thunderbird consortium is very interesting, and now not only the Thunderbird consortium wants to maintain their network in Japan, but also the Mitsubishi consortium in Japan, they also want to maintain this US ally, after all, for Japan, the United States is their most important trading partner.

As a result, the two sides soon reached a consensus and understanding, and a new strategic alliance was determined.

The Thunderbird consortium took over 20% of Mazda's shares from Ford, and it was also supported by the Mitsubishi consortium, after all, Mazda is not engaged in finance, but in automobiles, so as long as it is not related to this field, Mitsubishi's requirements for allies are quite supportive.

But this news was not publicized, after all, the xenophobia of the Japanese is too serious, everything is still going on in secret, and Jin Xiaoqiang is also more inclined to quietly enter the village and shoot without a gun.

After taking over Mazda, he set up a holding company from the Thunderbird, and then sent the original head of Ford Mark to Japan, many of the original Mazda people have dealt with this Mark, and after he came forward, many people also accepted the result of being taken over by the newly emerged Thunderbird consortium.

Although the person behind the Thunderbird is very mysterious, but no matter what, as long as he can bring benefits to Mazda, after all, Mazda has been losing money year after year, and in last year's financial crisis, they lost 1.9 billion US dollars, which is already very serious for a medium-sized car company.

Mark's arrival brought new models to Mazda, the original 2012 new Mazda six design drawings were quickly sent over, and then there was Huayang Power's SKYACTIV, this time the Japanese began to pretend to be deaf and dumb, but this set of technology changed a set of names to them, but everyone already knows who is standing behind them?

In this way, Japan, the most difficult hard bone, was infiltrated by Jin Xiaoqiang in this way, and this way of moisturizing things silently is also the best way to make the Japanese accept this ending calmly.

At the same time as reaching out like Japan, the Thunderbird Foundation also began to set up a Celestial Empire office, and began to start public relations in various departments of the Celestial Empire, preparing to enter the Celestial Empire market.

After participating in several government public projects, Thunderbird finally got the access card for the opening of the Celestial Empire Bank, and soon there was a big news from the Celestial Empire, that is, as the domestic giant manufacturing boss, Huayang Power will cooperate with the Thunderbird Bank......
