Chapter 216: A Real Giant

Nie Minhui sat in her office, browsing a quite authoritative IT website in China, generally speaking, the market trends of the international IT industry, you can see more professional reports and comments here, Nie Minhui has begun to pay attention to this website since the last time she met Zhang Wenhao, especially about the movements of Google and Apple.

Nie Minhui had already determined that these two companies were brewing an acquisition, and the object of the acquisition was a software in Zhang Wenhao's hands, but when I turned on the computer today, I found that the most conspicuous news column said that Google had completed a mysterious acquisition and would be unveiled on the 28th of this month.

After Nie Minhui opened it, she was surprised to find that the 1.8 billion that Zhang Wenhao said was just a psychological price of his own, and the final transaction price of this software reached an astonishing 2.4 billion.

Nie Minhui has been in business for many years, and her family business is at least ten times the figure of 2.4 billion, but when she associates this amount with a young man like Zhang Wenhao, who has no background and is less than 20 years old, it feels as unreal as a dream.

The Nie family is in business, the Su family is in politics, the combination of the two not only makes the Su family's position in the political arena more stable, but also makes the Nie family's industry bigger and bigger, because the Nie family has no son, Nie Minhui is the current helmsman of the Nie family, the country's steel and non-ferrous metal industry, basically have the Nie family's components, she once secretly led the negotiations with Australia, once tried to buy important foreign iron ore, so many years. She has seen all kinds of winds and waves, and she has long been honed to be extremely calm and wise, but today, she is still shocked by Zhang Wenhao's ability.

2.4 billion US dollars, Nie Minhui thinks that even the Nie family can't come up with so much cash, and this money is enough for Zhang Wenhao to live a worry-free life for several lifetimes. But after meeting Zhang Wenhao last time, she found that Zhang Wenhao seemed to be brewing a bigger plan.

Nie Minhui carefully analyzed Zhang Wenhao's two successful cases and found that both Dongchen Pharmaceutical and Dongchen Technology. Zhang Wenhao follows a routine, that is, small investment, big return, Dongchen Pharmaceutical started with hundreds of thousands of yuan. The registered capital of Dongchen Technology is only a few million yuan, but these two industries have brought Zhang Wenhao unexpectedly high returns, and most importantly, these two successes, in Nie Minhui's view, have great coincidences.

The reason why Dongchen Pharmaceutical's only product, Dampness Zhenggu Patch, can be successful is because of its strong curative effect, and Zhang Wenhao also said that this recipe was obtained by him by accident, which can be said to be caused by his excellent luck. As for Dongchen Technology, Zhang Wenhao said that he bought a certain product of a team and then sold it to Google, if this is the case, then Zhang Wenhao's luck can simply go against the sky.

Zhang Wenhao also talked about it last time. After getting the money, he was going to enter the industry, but if Zhang Wenhao put aside those luck and relied on his own ability to enter the industry, Nie Minhui couldn't help but be a little worried, with so much money in hand, what if Zhang Wenhao couldn't control it and wanted to play a big game? There is a high probability that a decision will be wrong. There is a risk of great losses.

Nie Minhui felt that she needed to talk to Zhang Wenhao again, so she took the initiative to call Zhang Wenhao and made an appointment to meet tonight.

Zhang Wenhao was worried about how to operate the acquisition of Volvo, and Nie Minhui's phone call just made him think of a shortcut.

Nie Minhui took Zhang Wenhao to the club again, and the two sat opposite each other, Nie Minhui wanted to warn Zhang Wenhao that after having money, he should be more cautious in making investments, but he didn't expect that as soon as Zhang Wenhao opened his mouth, he scared Nie Minhui first.

"Aunt Nie, how much do you know about Volvo?"

But all the big moves in the traditional industry, Nie Minhui basically has paid attention, and she has also heard about the recent Volvo being sold again, Zhang Wenhao suddenly asked about it, she suddenly became alert, and asked in surprise: "Wenhao!" You're not going to start playing Volvo, are you?! ”…,

Zhang Wenhao smiled, nodded and said, "I won't tell you, Aunt Nie, I'm really interested in it." Said, Zhang Wenhao said: "At present, I have learned some about the domestic automobile industry, almost all domestic automobile manufacturers, are following two routes of development, one is self-development, one is the development of cooperation with foreign enterprises, the latter is not mentioned, these joint venture brands have a certain market, and there are strong funds behind it, the acquisition is impossible, although the former is its own brand, but most of the production line technology level is low, and the main low-end market, this brand acquisition also needs to spend a lot of money to transform, Volvo has become the only special case, it was wholly owned by Geely, the level of the production line has reached the level of a joint venture brand, and it just so happens that Geely is ready to sell again. ”

Nie Minhui was really shocked, in her opinion, Zhang Wenhao did have great courage, he had just gotten the money and hadn't covered it yet, and he was ready to buy Volvo here? Although the value of Volvo is not too high, at most more than one billion US dollars, Zhang Wenhao must be able to afford it, but this is not a money-making business, Volvo this brand, now there is no value at all, after so much money is bought, the first thing to face is a large amount of long-term capital investment, not to mention making money, if you want not to go bankrupt, you have to continue to pay for subsidies, on Zhang Wenhao's net worth of more than 200 million, buy Volvo will be exhausted in a few years.

Nie Minhui hurriedly said: "Wen Hao, the competition in the automobile manufacturing industry is too big, far greater than you imagined, Volvo's failure is the inevitable development of the market, it does not have too strong competitiveness, and there are too many opponents, Japanese cars, German cars, American cars, these three opponents alone are enough to squeeze Volvo's living space to the extreme in the market of more than 100,000 yuan models, and the market competition below 100,000 yuan is even more fierce, countless domestic brands aim at this field, And many joint venture brands are also constantly developing low-end models to seize this market, you buy Volvo, you will only put yourself in the quagmire and can't extricate yourself! ”

Zhang Wenhao naturally knew that Nie Minhui's worries were very reasonable, but Nie Minhui didn't know that Zhang Wenhao currently had extremely powerful industrial technology. Volvo's production line has a certain level, enough for Zhang Wenhao to show his strength in this condition, competitiveness for Zhang Wenhao is like a floating cloud, with a super learning system behind the back, he has the competitiveness to lead the world in everything he does.

As far as the automotive industry is concerned, Zhang Wenhao can use more economical, fuel-saving and environmentally friendly technology to occupy the low-end market; It can occupy the mid-to-high-end market with safer, modern and high-performance technology. Even the luxury car market, the luxury car market, and no matter which market they target, they are absolutely competitive.

Forthwith. Zhang Wenhao opened his mouth and said: "Aunt Nie, I have great confidence in the acquisition of Volvo, once the acquisition of Volvo is completed. I would immediately give it a complete makeover, and then, relaunch it as a purely domestic brand. ”

"Huh?" Nie Minhui was even more surprised, are you kidding? The only thing Volvo has to pay for now is the value of the brand, spend money to buy it, and then build a new brand? Wouldn't that be even worse?

Nie Minhui hurriedly persuaded: "Wen Hao, you are not suitable for such a large-scale operation now, first of all, your energy alone is limited. Such an enterprise often has dozens of nearly 100 different departments, thousands of employees, and involves too many aspects, raw materials, suppliers, spare parts, design, research and development, and testing. Layer by layer, even if it is a team, it will be busy for a long time, and my aunt still suggests that if you really want to enter the industry, you can start with a small industry or a small industry and develop gradually. Accumulate resources and experience. ”…,

Zhang Wenhao shook his head gently, gradually developing? If he had that time and patience, he would not be so anxious to enter industrial manufacturing, a little bit of development, too slow and too slow, maybe five years later, his first new engine can be off the assembly line, seven years later, his first car on the market, ten years later, his first high-power diesel engine off the assembly line, fifteen years later, his first aircraft engine off the assembly line, twenty years later, his first aircraft can be built is a problem, this cycle is too slow, he can't wait.

Zhang Wenhao's ambitions, Nie Minhui can never think of anything, she now thinks that Zhang Wenhao is a child, a child who wants to do something without thinking too much about it, he underestimates the hardships and difficulties of the automobile manufacturing industry, maybe he has the blood of an industrial power, but this kind of thing can not be completed by a passion for blood.

Nie Minhui's continuous persuasion did not have an effect, Zhang Wenhao said sincerely: "Aunt Nie, it has always been my dream to get involved in industrial manufacturing, Volvo is an excellent opportunity, if I acquire Volvo, I can save many years to gradually develop, I can directly use Volvo's hardware and software, so, Volvo I am determined to win, but I am not suitable to do this now, so, I would like to ask you to do a favor, please help me acquire Volvo, and then put Volvo under your company name." ”

Nie Minhui looked at Zhang Wenhao and asked solemnly: "Wenhao, do you have to buy Volvo?" ”

Zhang Wenhao nodded, and said with a very firm expression: "Yes, you must take it into your pocket." ”

Nie Minhui hesitated for a moment, sighed and said: "In this way, I will find someone to understand first, make a preliminary assessment of Volvo, I will help you register a company, under the name of my group, but the company is owned by you alone, and then in the name of the group, put forward the acquisition intention to Volvo and start the acquisition negotiations." ”

Zhang Wenhao's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said, "Thank you so much, Aunt Nie." ”

Nie Minhui smiled helplessly, she already regarded Zhang Wenhao as her own child in her heart, and she couldn't bear to let him charge alone at this time, so she said: "That's it, Wenhao, to buy Volvo, I will invest 20%, which is considered a shareholding, and I will also bear 20% of all expenses in the future, but you have to promise Auntie a condition." ”

Zhang Wenhao said, "Auntie, please speak." ”

"That's right." Nie Minhui said: "When every company starts to operate, it is difficult to achieve profitability, but there must be a limit to continuous investment, after the acquisition of Volvo, the maximum investment amount shall not exceed 3 billion yuan, once the investment reaches 3 billion yuan, and the profit is far away, you must decisively give up, this point, can you promise Auntie?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Wenhao agreed without hesitation, Nie Minhui was worried that Zhang Wenhao would be trapped in the quagmire of Volvo because of his enthusiasm. Therefore, she proposed to contribute 20 percent of the shares, accounting for 20 percent of the shares, on the one hand, in order to share Zhang Wenhao's risks to a certain extent, and on the other hand, if the company has its own shares. At that time, if the business is not good, I can persuade Zhang Wenhao to stop.

But Nie Minhui wouldn't know that she was completely 20% of the human investment. What kind of return will she get in the future, at least for now, Nie Minhui's psychology is very simple. Since Zhang Wenhao wants to play a big game, then he will pay two or three hundred million dollars to play with Zhang Wenhao, and it doesn't matter if he loses, in order to tie a safety rope to Zhang Wenhao, once something goes wrong, quickly pull him back, so that he will not fall into the mud. …,

Zhang Wenhao naturally knew that Nie Minhui was for her own good, so she proposed to invest 20% of the shares, but Zhang Wenhao did not refuse. However, Zhang Wenhao was also quite curious about what industry Nie Minhui was engaged in, so he asked tentatively: "Aunt Nie, I don't know which industry you have been doing?" And, I don't know the name of your group yet? ”

Nie Minhui smiled slightly. Asked, "Have you heard of Zhongyu Group?" ”

Zhang Wenhao was taken aback and blurted out: "Zhongyu Group? Zhongyu Group, which ranks first among private enterprises in the country? ”

Nie Minhui nodded and said, "It is mainly engaged in the steel manufacturing industry, and there are two core businesses, one is ferrous metal smelting, and the other is non-ferrous metal manufacturing. Now it is trying to get rid of the traditional shackles and start the research and development and manufacturing of special alloys. ”

Zhang Wenhao only knows how prominent Su Ruoran's family background is, his father is in a lineage, in an important position, and extremely powerful, even Lei Zhanjun is afraid of three points, and Nie Minhui actually controls Zhongyu Group, which ranks first among domestic private enterprises, this kind of family background is a wealthy family in the real sense, much stronger than he imagined.

Zhang Wenhao is not very clear about what position Su Ruoran's father is, but the data of Zhongyu Group has already been spread on the Internet, and the annual profit exceeds that of Huawei, reaching a scale of nearly 20 billion yuan, and this is only on the surface, coupled with the combination of the Nie family and the Su family, no one knows how much unknown income Zhongyu Group has.

Seeing Zhang Wenhao's surprised face, Nie Minhui said: "Don't be frightened by this name, the profitability of the group is indeed quite high, but what can really reach your Aunt Nie's pocket is not high, compared to the scale of cash flow, your Aunt Nie is far worse than you." ”

Zhang Wenhao smiled, scratched his head and said: "I have this money, I'm afraid I can't even get a production line for you, I heard that the largest production base of Zhongyu Group has an investment of more than 40 billion yuan."

Nie Minhui sighed and said: "This is the biggest constraint of the industry, the investment cycle is long, the investment amount is large, but the effect cycle is also long and scary, and it is particularly energy-consuming, tens of thousands of people up and down, the whole group is extremely large, even if you are careful and energetic, you can only carry out macro management in general, so you have to face various problems every day, and it is annoying." ”

Zhang Wenhao pretended to be curious and asked, "Aunt Nie, is the prospect of the special alloy industry very good?" ”

Nie Minhui just chatted casually, and said: "The prospect is very good, with the continuous development of science and technology, traditional ferrous metals have been gradually replaced by high-tech industries, such as aerospace, military science and technology, and now high-speed trains, ordinary household cars, are constantly looking for better new materials, the market potential is very huge, but the cost of research and development is too great, plus the foundation of our country in this industry is not as good as that of developed countries, so it is very slow, much behind developed countries." ”

Zhang Wenhao nodded and said: "The price and cost of this new material are very high, and there are very strict export restrictions abroad. ”

Nie Minhui glanced at Zhang Wenhao with a little surprise, he didn't expect him to be able to see this, and he was quite appreciative in his heart, now, the industry of new materials is indeed relatively closed, even if there are more advanced products abroad, but these products are either not exported to China, even if they are exported, the price is extremely high, so the penetration rate in China is not high, if domestic enterprises can make a breakthrough in this industry, even if the overall is still not as good as the level of developed countries, but compared with imported products, the price will be much lower, The space of the domestic market is still very broad.

Nie Minhui didn't know that in the industrial science and technology mastered by Zhang Wenhao, the field of metal smelting and materials is also everything, and the world's top metal smelting and material science is not in the United States, nor in Europe, nor in Japan, but in the young man in front of her who is less than 20 years old.

Metal smelting is an extremely important basic industry, which plays a decisive role in the entire industrial system, but the threshold of this industry is too high, Zhang Wenhao will not be able to enter it for a while, but when he knows that Nie Minhui's Zhongyu Group is engaged in this field, Zhang Wenhao also started his own careful thinking, if he focuses on the development of industrial science and technology in the future, then the basic industry of materials will have a great impact on himself, just like automobile manufacturing, good materials, It can make the pressure bearing capacity of the engine stronger, make the body lighter, and the safety of the car higher, if you cooperate with Nie Minhui in the future, you can achieve a win-win situation of mutual benefit.
