Chapter 971: Industrial Flow Changed to Farming?
readx;
When Lin Zheng, Bill. When Ford and Volkswagen were playing a game of leather ball, one of them said he would quit. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
I don't know how the Vickers Group got the news that Volkswagen would marry Cosworth "one daughter and two daughters", and this cunning British company immediately became keenly aware that this was an excellent opportunity for the Vickers Group to raise prices.
While the Minardi team, Ford and Volkswagen were still competing with Cosworth, the Vickers Group sent an official letter to the desks of Minardi, Ford and Volkswagen: You guys are playing so hilarious, hooking up with each other behind my back, have you ever considered our existence?
Ford, which received this letter of protest from the Vickers Group, was also in a daze, and after a short period of confusion, he was angry: We and Volkswagen jointly acquired Rolls-Royce + Cosworth, what's in the way of you? It's not that I won't give you money!
But Volkswagen, which was held by the Vickers Group for seven inches, was a little numb, and the sudden attack of the Vickers Group gave Volkswagen a blow to the head!
In 1997, Volkswagen's annual production reached a record 4,256,300 units, an increase of 7.3% over 1996, Porsche's grandson: Volkswagen's leader PiΓ«ch is ambitiously ready to lead Volkswagen to a higher position, intending to capture the high-end car market originally controlled by Mercedes-Benz Pullman, the acquisition of Rolls-Royce is the most important part of PiΓ«ch's entire plan: as long as the successful acquisition of Rolls-Royce, Volkswagen can use the Rolls-Royce brand to greatly enhance Volkswagen's overall image and brand added value, so to speak, for Volkswagen. They are bound to win Rolls-Royce, even if their competitor is BMW, which has a long-standing relationship with Rolls-Royce, and they will never back down half a point.
It's just that the current public is not the later local tyrant public. Although he has two steel hammers in his pocket, he wants to marry a tsundere princess like Rolls-Royce. That's also going to make a lot of blood, and I was expecting to be able to sell the princess's dowry maid to the big dog family in the village to get some money back, but I didn't think that the princess's down-and-out dad would quit, what should I do?
Hard-headed, he pointed to the public who married the princess to improve their qualifications, unless there was no hope at all, it was absolutely impossible to give up the idea of marrying a princess.
Compared with Volkswagen and Ford, which were furious, Lin Zheng made a decision in the shortest time: "Help me contact Colin. Mr. Chandler, just say that I am going to have a confidential meeting with him. The sooner the better, as for the identity ......" After a deep groan, Lin Zheng said: "As the chairman of ICQ." β
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"ICQ's boss wants to see me?" Colin. Chandler looked at his secretary unexpectedly: "And it's a secret meeting?" β
Colin. Chandler's secretary, Miss Effie, nodded: "That's what Mr. Lin's secretary said. β
Miss Effie is a real secretary and not a so-called "life secretary", she is quite capable of working and the Vickers Group has been able to maintain the current situation, and Miss Effie has contributed a lot to this, giving advice and advice to the North London-born MBA. Colin. Chandler has always been very respectful and valued, and muttered the following, Colin. Chandler asked Miss Effie, "What do you think?" β
"It must have something to do with Cosworth," since he learned that the Minardi team was also involved in the game played by Volkswagen, Ford and BMW. Miss Effie has been collecting information about Lin Zheng, the new owner of the Minardi team, and now this information has finally come in handy: "According to what we know, this Mr. Lin Zheng has a lot of ambitions in the automotive field. Not only did they set up a car brand called SmartCity, but they also acquired the Minardi team. Just completed the acquisition of the Belgian Bunch CVT automatic transmission, and now. Their last shortcoming is the engine. β
"So they're eyeing Cosworth?" Colin. Chandler frowned: "Don't they know that buying Cosworth isn't cheap?" β
"It's not cheap, but if this acquisition can be successfully completed, it will also mean a lot to them, just like why Volkswagen insists on buying Rolls-Royce." Miss Effie said calmly.
Colin. Chandler nodded, was silent for a moment, and then spoke again, "And what about your suggestion, Miss Effie?" β
Miss Effie did not hesitate, "My suggestion is to see their conditions." β
"Look at their conditions?" Miss Effie's answer made Colin. Chandler was really surprised: "You're inclined to sell Cosworth to them?" β
"It's all about selling anyway, whoever pays the higher price will sell it to, and while there will certainly be some dissenting voices in the boardroom, since it's Minardi Racing that buys Cosworth, it's not a problem β and most importantly, Mr. Lin Zheng is visiting you as chairman of ICQ."
Miss Effie's words made Colin. Chandler's eyes suddenly lit up, and he slapped his thigh hard when he became excited: "That's right! β
Damn, I almost missed such an important piece of information!
Why didn't Lin Zheng visit him as the owner of the Minardi team, but as a director of ICQ? Considering that ICQ has just announced the list of its first IPOs, the reason for this is almost immediately apparent: if Vickers Group is willing to sell Cosworth to Minardi, he is willing to pay for it with a stake in ICQ.
The pound and the dollar are of course good things, but compared with the pound and the dollar, it is obviously better to have a greater retention rate and appreciation potential ICQ stocks, as a hot Internet company today, ICQ's IPO does not know how much attention it has attracted around the world, Vickers Group has not thought of holding shares in ICQ, but they know in their hearts that this kind of good thing can not fall on their heads: there are too many predators staring at this piece of fat.
But Lin Zheng's hint to Colin. Chandler opened a whole new window: since the Vickers Group wants to exchange its money-losing goods Cosworth for money, and ICQ's chairman Lin Zheng wants Cosworth, why can't everyone take what they need?
Colin, who realizes how much benefit there is hidden in this. Chandler couldn't sit still any longer, and walked around the office excitedly, and after a while, he held back the excitement in his heart and said to Effie: "Miss Effie, help me reply to Mr. Lin Zheng, just say that I am looking forward to this meeting, and please rest assured that I will entertain him in my manor, and I will never let anyone know that he has come to England." β
Effie: "Okay. β
"And," said Colin. Chandler said, "Miss Effie, I hope you were there at the time." β
Miss Effie immediately smiled: "It is my pleasure. β
Colin. Mr. Chandler invited herself to be there at the time, and I am afraid that she could not find any other reason than to hope that she could keep the news a secret, but she was not prepared to refuse. Chandler sent out an invitation, which implicitly told himself that as long as it worked well, it would be indispensable for his own benefit.
The two of them had a tacit understanding that they did not mention the board of directors: since Mr. Lin Zheng said that he hoped to cooperate with Colin. Mr. Chandler had a private meeting, and that was a meeting between friends, so why should he tell the board?
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Australia, I wipe ......" looked at Colin. Chandler's reply, Lin Zheng was stunned for a long time.
He had to admire the depth of the British's heritage, Colin. Chandler, the chairman of the Vickers Group, owns a vast ranch in Australia. Chandler invited Lin Zheng directly to his ranch.
In the pasture where you may not be able to see people for dozens of kilometers, there is really no need to leak the news of the meeting between the two. Chandler, this guy is really hard.
Tanna's eyes were straight, and the following scenes couldn't help but appear in her eyes: on the glowing Australian grasslands, a white flock of sheep grazing leisurely on the green meadow, a professional shepherd sat on a grazing off-road vehicle, with a cigarette in his mouth and leisurely looked at the grazing sheep, and from time to time took out a bottle of cold beer from the car refrigerator in the car and took a sip...... Anyway, you don't have to worry about the police coming to check your DUI ...... There were a few white clouds floating in the blue sky, some of which resembled sheep on the ground......
Tan Na, who fell into a state of severe paranoia, hugged Lin Zheng's arm and shook violently: "Australian ranch, husband, let's go to Australia to buy a ranch, right?" β
"You want to be a shepherdess?" Lin Zheng was actually quite moved, and smacked his lips: "Why don't you go with me this time, and let's stop by to see if there is a suitable ranch for sale?" β
Tan Na suddenly nodded excitedly: "Okay, okay, it's best to take your parents and the two little ones together!" β
"But have you ever wondered how much trouble it is to manage a ranch? We have absolutely no experience in managing farms. Lin Zheng poured a basin of cold water on the head of the woman who had fallen into a state of severe paranoia.
But unfortunately, the amount of cold water in this basin is seriously insufficient, Tan Na didn't think about it and said: "What are you afraid of if you don't have experience, why don't we ask an experienced professional manager to help us take care of this ranch?" Anyway, this is where we go on vacation, and when we are tired, we can come here for a while and feel comfortable thinking about it......"
Lin Zheng: "......"
Well, since my wife has used this ranch as a place to relax in the future, it seems that this ranch is really going to be purchased. (To be continued......) r1292
