Chapter 966: Someone Got Pitted

"Cosworth?" Comrade Lao Wei looked at Lin Zheng in surprise, I don't know why this guy has something to do with Cosworth again?

Cosworth, of course, knows that the world's top engine suppliers, although people are a little downcast in F1, but no matter how down, they are also mixed with F1, for the Great Wall, which is not even qualified to play in low-level regular races in China, Cosworth's height is enough to make Comrade Wei look up to him - basically the same feeling as the existence of Stanford, Harvard, and MIT in China a few years later. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He didn't understand it anyway, how could Lianchuang Technology have anything to do with such a high-ranking existence?

Lin Zheng: "Another shareholder of the Minardi team, the original team owner Paul. Mr. Stoddart happened to know that Cosworth's parent company, the Vickers Group, was selling off three automobile-related businesses, Bentley, Rolls-Royce and Cosworth, and Rolls-Royce and Bentley certainly didn't dare to think about it, but if Minardi wanted to improve his results, it would be nice to have his own team......"

Listening to Lin Zheng's words, Comrade Lao Wei was completely speechless.

Lin Zheng's bastard's words don't sound like they're explaining, but they're more like showing off, but it's true that this girl is showing off, and it's just showing off, but the point is that Comrade Lao Wei understands a truth better: bragging with strength is called bullshit, and bragging without strength is called stupid.

Obviously, Lin Zheng is really awesome.

"This ...... Not cheap, right? Comrade Lao Wei asked timidly, unconsciously weak.

"It's not too cheap," Lin Zheng smiled bitterly. said: "The price offered to us by Vickers Group is 200 million. ”

Wang Fengying exclaimed: "200 million RMB? So expensive?! ”

200 million RMB? What do you want? Lin Zheng didn't know what to say: if 200 million RMB could take Cosworth, Lin Zheng would not hesitate at all.

Fortunately, Comrade Lao Wei's mind is still very clear-headed. Said to Wang Fengying with a wry smile: "200 million RMB, how is it possible?" You should be our Great Wall. It's 200 million ...... Well, pounds, right? ”

Lin Zheng smiled bitterly and nodded.

200 million pounds? Wang Fengying's mouth opened instantly, and he felt that his whole person was not good: at this stage, the exchange ratio between domestic pounds and RMB is about 1:13.6, and 200 million pounds can be exchanged for about 2.72 billion to 2.73 billion RMB.

"It's pounds, but we can't afford this price," Lin Zheng said frankly: "Our goal is to try to push the price down to 120 million pounds, but this kind of thing is really impossible to say until the end." ”

I heard that Lin Zheng was willing to spend almost 1.6 billion RMB to acquire a world-class engine manufacturing and R&D company. Comrade Lao Wei's expression changed again, people are like this, I used to know that Lin Zheng was the richest man in China, but I knew that I knew what kind of richest man this richest man was, Comrade Lao Wei didn't have a direct concept in his heart: Lao Tzu is also a billionaire, I don't think it's worse than you Lin Zheng.

Now, Comrade Lao Wei finally realized where the gap between himself and Lin Zheng was, and the gap was for the acquisition of a foreign company. He can come up with 1.6 billion RMB without hesitation, and after he just spent hundreds of millions to acquire an automatic transmission manufacturing company, he is really convinced: this rich and rich are really different, ask yourself. Comrade Lao Wei felt that he would not be able to do such a thing anyway.

"That's not young anymore," After a brief moment of shock and disbelief, Comrade Wei's eyes lit up terribly. He grabbed Lin Zheng's hand and said excitedly: "What does Mr. Lin mean is that after the acquisition is completed, he will ask Cosworth to help adjust your 4g63?" ”

"There's this idea." Lin Zheng nodded. This is nonsense, there are such good resources not to be utilized. Isn't that stupid?

"That's good, that's good," Comrade Lao Wei's excited hands didn't know where to put it, and for the first time in his heart, he had a lot of confidence in Shen & Yang Aerospace Tesla's 4G63: "If Cosworth helps, then we will be more at ease." ”

If Shen & Yang Aerospace Tesla's SOHC version of the 4G63 engine can get the help of Cosworth, then the performance of this engine exceeds the original SOHC version of Mitsubishi's 4G63 is simply a sure thing, this is not a problem beyond a point, but a problem beyond a lot!

To Lin Zheng's surprise, he originally thought that Comrade Lao Wei should be curious about the sale of Rolls-Royce and Bentley by the Vickers Group, but he never mentioned this matter, as if this matter had nothing to do with him at all - although it was indeed irrelevant, but as a practitioner in the automobile industry, he was not at all curious about such a big gossip, and Lin Zheng really admired Comrade Lao Wei's qi cultivation kung fu.

……………………

It's just that life is always so fucked up, just when Lin Zheng was taking good care of himself during this time, the reality told him: You really think too much.

Ford was going to buy Cosworth with himself.

After receiving the news, Lin Zheng was stunned for a long time on the phone: What is the situation? Why did Ford suddenly come in and intervene again? Nima Bill. Ford, this bastard, is he going to pit himself when he has the opportunity?

"We've been put on a hook by the damned Germans," Paul said on the phone. Stoddart was also depressed: "I just learned that Volkswagen has long hooked up with Ford. ”

You're telling me about such a big thing now? What did you do? Beat Paul with all his might. Stoddat's impulsiveness, Lin Zheng gritted his teeth and asked, "What do you mean?" How did Ford hook up with Volkswagen? What the hell is going on? ”

"I also just learned the news, it seems that Volkswagen is preparing to buy Rolls-Royce from the Vickers Group, and when the Vickers Group decides to package and sell Rolls-Royce and Cosworth together, Volkswagen and Ford have established a cooperative relationship, and the two companies jointly acquire Rolls-Royce and Cosworth, and after the acquisition is completed, Volkswagen will sell Cosworth to Ford, and we are put together by the damn Germans, and I know that the Germans are never reliable......"

Paul. Stoddart gritted his teeth and cursed, even though Lin Zheng was angry with Paul. Stoddat's words are very disagreeable, when it comes to unreliability, is there anything more unreliable than the Italians?

However, contempt is contempt, and from tens of thousands of kilometers away on the phone, Lin Zheng can feel that Paul. Stoddat's anger, this guy from Italy was put on a show by his World War II teammate Germans, and he was obviously angry: Nima is a typical one-daughter two-marriage, a bastard practice that seriously violates the rules of business, and it is ridiculous that he was fooled!

"Since Volkswagen has already signed a cooperation agreement with Ford, is the agreement between us and Volkswagen invalid according to commercial principles?" In fact, Lin Zheng was also angry with the public's shameless approach: Lao Tzu was actually used by the damned Germans?

Paul. Stoddat: "Actually...... Not exactly......"

"Huh?" Paul. Stoddat's words made Lin Zheng stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?" ”

Since Volkswagen and Ford have already reached an agreement first, the commercial contract signed by Volkswagen with the Minardi team is naturally invalid, why is this not exactly the case?

Paul. Stoddart slurred: "What if...... If we can come to an agreement with Ford......"

Lin Zheng understood everything at once.

In addition to the R&D system, Cosworth has two production departments, namely Cosworth civil engine manufacturing department and Cosworth high-performance department, for the Minardi team, whether it is to get the civil engine production and manufacturing department or the high-performance department, it is a good thing to be able to get either, if the Minardi team can reach an agreement with Ford Motor, the cost of acquiring Cosworth will be shared equally between Ford and the Minardi team, and things are actually not so bad.

But in fact, of course this is impossible, people have spent so much effort to dig such a big hole for themselves, just to find someone to share the acquisition cost equally? What are you kidding, Ford Motor is the world's top auto giant whose net profit is expected to exceed 20 billion US dollars this year, and they will miss this acquisition fee of 200 million US dollars? Whether the pit was dug by Volkswagen or Ford for itself, they must have planned to go deep.

What makes Lin Zheng even more chilling is that after such a long time, could it be that Paul. Stoddart hasn't found anything in it? In view of his sensitivity to capital, Lin Zheng is more inclined to Paul. Stoddart actually knew about this for a long time, so the question arises. Stoddart had known this for a long time, so why did he tell himself now?

"Paul," Lin Zheng's tone became cold, "Tell me, what will happen if we reach an agreement with Ford Motor?" What is the premise of this agreement? ”

Paul. Stoddart thought that he could resist Lin Zheng's anger, but at this moment, he suddenly realized that he was wrong, when Lin Zheng's anger was hooked, he suddenly found that even if he was separated by tens of thousands of kilometers of telephone lines, he still had heart palpitations.

Swallowing hard, Paul. Stoddart hesitated: "As long as an agreement can be reached, Ford can abandon the acquisition of Cosworth, but it is not enough to ...... The premise is ......"

"Say! What is the premise? Lin Zheng's heart began to sink more and more.

"The premise is ...... "Paul. Stoddart gritted his teeth: "The premise is that Ford wants ICQ to acquire a 5% stake in ICQ when it conducts its first round of IPO." (To be continued......) r1292
