Chapter 610: The Past Between General and Suzuki
A few days is a big day in the life of ants, and I ask for everyone's support
Looking at the luxurious configuration list in front of him, Jin Xiaoqiang finally understood why the cost of this police car was as high as more than 60,000 US dollars, and these old beauties are really not willing to spend money!
Looking at the configuration of the police car in the United States, and then looking at the shabby and poor minivan used by the domestic 110 police, Jin Xiaoqiang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is the gap!
When will the domestic gang of chalk guides be able to solve the traffic problems of the front-line civil police if they can take a few fewer Audis by themselves?
Think about it, in some cities in the south, in the past two years, there has been a trend of bicycle gang robbery, but many arresting people and police actually rely on bicycles or motorcycles to chase criminals.
While this may seem flexible, what if it is not handled properly and causes unnecessary harm? If it ends up being disabled, who will be responsible? You must know that the civil police are also people with families and jobs!
Forget it, why do you want to do so much, you are just a manufacturer, and it is not your turn to worry about those things that worry about the country and the people.
"Good! Nick, these winter pieces are not a problem, give me a few days of work, and I will be able to help you solve these problems. ”
Looking at the standard list of police cars in front of him, Jin Xiaoqiang said to Nick, Nick also nodded, he still believes in Jin Xiaoqiang's design ability, in fact, if it weren't for the respect for Jin Xiaoqiang's mind, such a transformation project, the general engineers would be able to do it within a few days.
But after all, the prototype design of this car is still from the hands of Jin Xiaoqiang, so they are not good at overstepping, so they still leave it to Jin Xiaoqiang to do it, and they are more respectful to others.
After these things were negotiated, it was noon, but Nick. Reilly and his party obviously had no intention of leaving, and it seemed that there was something to talk about next.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Jin Xiaoqiang also understood what he meant, so he didn't say it deeply, just signaled that there was something, and when everyone finished lunch, they were talking, running back and forth, and Nick, who hadn't even adjusted to the jet lag. Reilly agreed, and even asked for the next round of negotiations to take place tomorrow, and his men needed time to adjust, and in the afternoon, he could talk to Jin Xiaoqiang about the negotiations that would take place tomorrow.
So at noon, Jin Xiaoqiang entertained Nick with dignity. Reilly and his party first arranged for Nick's subordinates to go to the hotel for dinner, and then went back to rest, while he himself took Nick Reilly to the luxurious private room of the hotel and chatted while eating.
Nick, who has fought many times with the Celestial Empire. Reilly also knew that the people of the Celestial Empire had the habit of talking about business at the wine table, and after several contacts, he also knew Jin Xiaoqiang.
So not long after the banquet began, he told Jin Xiaoqiang about the main topics to be negotiated tomorrow, so that they could be prepared, of course, as for the bottom line of the general aspect, he still has professional ethics, and he did not tell Jin Xiaoqiang all directly.
"That's Misterkin, didn't you communicate with me at the beginning of the year and wanted to buy our shares in Suzuki Motors? Recently, our company has also been discussing this issue, after repeated discussions, the company's senior management has been decided, in order to maintain the very pleasant cooperative relationship between our two sides so far, so we intend to transfer the shares of Suzuki in our hands to you Huayang Power, if Misterkin, if you are still interested now, then you might as well prepare, we can start negotiations tomorrow. ”
Nick
After drinking a bowl of bird's nest soup, Reilly told Jin Xiaoqiang about the topics they wanted to negotiate with Huayang Power tomorrow. …,
And when he heard these words, Jin Xiaoqiang remembered that after attending the Detroit Auto Show at the beginning of the year, he accepted this Nick. At the time of Reilly's reception, in his family's luxurious villa, he once mentioned to him that he wanted to buy the shares of Suzuki in GM's hands.
But at that time, Nick. Reilly did not give a direct response, and only after going back to the company and discussing with the company's senior management before he could make a decision.
After he came back, he also asked the president's office to pay attention to some of the movements of GM and Suzuki, and there were some news rumors in the world, it is said that GM began to contact people from Suzuki in February to negotiate the transfer of Suzuki's equity, but it seems that it has not been very successful.
And GM didn't send a fax to his side to test whether Huayang Power had any intention of acquiring Suzuki's shares, so not long after, he forgot about it because there were too many things.
Didn't expect Nick today. Reilly suddenly talked to himself about this issue, and he really killed Jin Xiaoqiang by surprise, before he also let his subordinates launch an investigation into the operation of Suzuki, but because GM did not want to negotiate with himself to accept Suzuki's equity, so he never cared, but he didn't expect that now GM actually came to negotiate with him, which really made him a little unprepared.
These guys must have been premeditated a long time ago, and they just want to catch themselves off guard!
But this hot potato, do you pick it up or not?
Jin Xiaoqiang pondered the case and did not rush to answer Nick. Reilly, and Nick Liran also anticipated Jin Xiaoqiang's attitude, so he didn't continue to say more.
According to Jin Xiaoqiang's understanding of Americans, these guys can be said to be the most developed business animals on the planet, and the business is played by Menqing!
General Motors, as early as the seventies and eighties of the last century, relying on the huge dividends after World War II, although the competitiveness in the automobile market is declining, but in the automobile capital market they are wealthy, relying on their own money, began to continue to merge a variety of car manufacturing companies that they feel are in good condition.
Over the years, they have successively annexed many brands, and in the eighties and nineties of the last century, such annexation reached a peak, in response to the globalization called by the Americans, they began to extend their tentacles to all corners of the world.
And in Japan, because Japan's national conditions are relatively special, coupled with the special grouping of Japanese automobile manufacturers, so because it is not easy to start with large enterprises such as Toyota and Honda and Nissan, they finally chose Suzuki, such a small car, and motorcycle manufacturing is known for the company, of course, Suzuki and Toyota, Honda and other companies, it is not a small size at all, they chose Suzuki to acquire.
In the past few years, GM's global business situation has not been very good, especially last year, the loss was as high as more than 800 billion US dollars, GM's senior management has been unable to sit still, they plan to wake up to the adjustment of global policy on the one hand, on the other hand, they plan to sell some of their assets.
In particular, those assets that are more difficult to manage, and this includes 20% of Suzuki's shares, it turned out that when Suzuki cooperated with GM, although GM was allowed to acquire 23% of Suzuki's equity, it asked GM not to interfere in Suzuki's management, because Suzuki wanted to maintain its own style.
At that time, GM had a big family and a big business, coupled with Suzuki's equity, it was still a nail that they finally wedged into the Japanese auto market, so they agreed not to interfere in Suzuki's management, and only enjoyed Suzuki's business dividends every year. …,
However, in the past few years, Suzuki has not made much progress in the local automobile market in Japan, but in the Celestial Empire market, although it has made a difference, but in GM's view, it is a bit of a feeling of putting the cart before the horse, so GM is very unhappy, but because when the contract was signed before, it promised not to interfere with Suzuki's operation, so that there is no right to speak in the company's policy formulation, which also makes GM a headache.
In addition, this year, the company needs to tighten the monetary base and need a lot of money to adjust the company, so GM decided to give up Suzuki's equity as soon as he gritted his teeth.
Originally, when they were working with Suzuki, the two sides agreed that if GM planned to give up Suzuki's shares, then Suzuki would have a limited right to buy back.
But these Japanese devils, who have been dealing with the Americans for a long time, have become extremely slippery, and they also see GM's current predicament, so when they buy back their company's shares, they don't intend to execute according to the contract price signed on the original contract, they plan to suppress the price of GM, and plan to get back their shares at a low price.
After all, GM has been sucking blood on Suzuki for so many years, and it's time to get some benefits back, otherwise GM will sell it to other companies, and Suzuki doesn't care anyway.
The Japanese automobile market is difficult, everyone knows, and Suzuki is not a big company, nor does it have any special technology, and in any country with a developed manufacturing industry, it is just a relatively low-end manufacturing industry, specializing in manufacturing some unpopular and niche models.
As far as the current market is concerned, there are really few car companies that are interested in Suzuki, so Suzuki is not worried at all, and GM can find a more suitable successor than Suzuki itself.
But it is precisely because of their arrogance and contempt that they finally angered the people on the general side, okay, do you think Lao Tzu would not dare to sell your shares to others?
Lao Tzu really sold it to you, and he sold it to your most disgusting Celestial Empire people, see what you can do with Lao Tzu?
And so there was Nick. Reilly's trip to the Celestial Empire this time, in fact, Nick
The main purpose of Reilly's coming to the Celestial Empire this time was to sell the shares of Suzuki in their hands, not the sale of police cars. ”。 )
