Chapter 706: If You Don't Die, You Won't Die (I)
"Mr. Akio Toyoda, let me tell you the truth, 65 billion US dollars, we can't negotiate below this price." Stefan said lightly at the middle-aged man opposite.
"$65 billion, that's too high." Akio Toyoda frowned and hurriedly said, "Mr. Stefan, this price is really too high for us to afford." It has not been a day or two since Akio Toyoda came to Munich, but this is the first time he has met the real head of BMW, the current patriarch of the Covante family, Stefan, and Akio Toyoda knows quite well that if the Starfall Group really prohibits the transfer of all technology to Japanese companies, then Toyota will only have one result left.
But can Akio Toyoda accept this result? Of course not! That's why he united these companies in Japan to offer a high price that the other party couldn't refuse, although the price was very high, but compared with the profits of these companies in 10 years, it was only a small number, and more importantly, so many companies in Japan shared this money, although Toyota would give a little more, but there was not much in the name of Toyota.
Seeing that Akio Toyoda still wanted to bargain, Stefan sneered in his heart, but on the surface, he didn't have any expression, just lightly took a document from the table next to him and handed it over directly, there was not only Akio Toyoda in this room, but also several other heads of Japanese automobile companies, and Stefan only had Stefan and Raysef here.
It's a little strange what Stefan handed over, but Akio Toyoda still subconsciously took it, the document is in pure English, and for these people, English is naturally not too difficult, so they can understand it. The document does not specify the title, and from the first line onwards there are car company names, the first being Toyota. Akio Toyoda looked down, and the more he looked, the more he felt a sense of fear in his heart, and he probably knew what this list was.
The first list is still Toyota's list, but the list of companies behind it is all companies that have partnerships with all Japanese automobile companies, including all the companies that only own a few percent of each other's shares, and none of the companies on the list are unrelated to Japanese companies.
"I'll tell Mr. Toyota the truth. This is a fax from the Starfall Group, prohibiting the companies we cooperate, that is, the Starfall Group does not mind us cooperating with other automobile companies, but these companies on this list. The Starfall Group strictly forbids us to authorize them, do you know why I haven't seen you all this time? If it weren't for the fact that you offered a price that people couldn't refuse. I won't see you. $50 billion? No kidding, 65 billion US dollars, below this price, I will not risk turning my face with the Starfall Group, if the Starfall Group starts to snipe the industry of the Covante family within the whole world, do you know how much money the Starfall Group has? Stefan held up the wine glass next to him. took a sip of red wine and said lightly.
Akio Toyoda's next words were no longer spoken, although he scolded Stefan, a vampire, to death in his heart, but he knew it. There is an 80 percent chance that this list is true, and there is no need for Stefan to make such a list to scare him, because Akio Toyoda has already received some of the news, and General Motors and Ford Motor in the United States, as well as Shanghai Volkswagen, and Chery Automobile in China have all obtained actual authorizations and entered the final stage of negotiations.
But all of their Japanese companies have been rejected, and they are not like other companies, they have no hesitation to negotiate, that is, now they have the only chance, the other party has applied for a global patent, and they have no way to circumvent this permission, unless their cars are only produced and used in Japan, otherwise it is impossible to circumvent the goal of patenting, so it is not feasible to obtain the technology secretly, and without the authorization of BMW, they will face only one result.
Stefan has enough means in his hands, so the other party doesn't want 65 billion US dollars, even if it is 75 billion or 100 billion, they have to grit their teeth and bear it, because for these automobile companies, if they really go bankrupt like this, then the future will be bleak, and more importantly, after they go bankrupt, it is not only them who are unlucky, but the entire Japanese economic system will suffer a huge recession, which is unbearable, so even if they don't pay this money, The Japanese government may have paid for them.
"Since the Starfall Group won't let you transfer the technique to us...... This is? Akio Toyoda thought about it, but still asked the doubts in his heart.
"So, we're only going to sign a contract for one term, and we're going to give you a direct transfer of $65 billion, for a period of 10 years, and it's going to be done very quickly, if you leak the news yourself." Stefan shrugged his shoulders, and the words behind him did not come out, but Akio Toyoda is not a fool, although 65 billion US dollars is a lot, but the things in the futures market before, they are naturally not idiots to the point that even the Covante family has also obtained hundreds of billions of dollars in profits with the help of the Starfall Group.
Therefore, it is impossible for the Covant family to turn against the Starfall Group because of this matter, and now there is no doubt that Stefan is just interested in this profit and wants to finalize this contract before the Starfall Group does not know it. "By the way, if you agree to this request, you can sign the contract within two days, the funds must be paid in one lump sum, and we will transfer the technique directly to you. If there is nothing to do, I'll go first, you can think about it. With that, Stefan just got up and left the place.
And there were only Japanese left in the whole room, this territory was Stefan's territory, but Stefan still left enough space for them, and after leaving the reception room, Stefan walked outside, and Resefu followed Stefan, and said cautiously: "Mr. Stefan, do you think these Japanese will agree?" ”
"Unless, of course, they sit back and wait for their company to go bankrupt, do you think they'll allow their company to go bankrupt?" Stefan sneered, then spoke lightly.
"No, it won't." Raysef thought for a while, and said very rationally, although the price they paid was very large, but they got a 10-year license, in fact, it may be more than double that of other companies every year, and the qualified price is completely within the affordable range, although it dilutes the profit of each car, but in fact, the profit is still very considerable, especially Toyota, after all, it is now the company with the highest market value and the highest sales volume in the world.
"So, they're going to pay for it, but what do you think they'll do if they pay this money and find out that they still can't produce cars, even though they've got the skills, they're still not able to produce cars?" Stefan smiled and asked, Stefan's words made Raysef shiver? What will you do? If it was him, Raysef thought about it, and estimated that he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.
Although this may damage the reputation of BMW, but this matter is not Rayseff's final say, so he will not express any opinions, besides, in fact, it has a relationship with BMW, what we are talking about is prohibiting the transfer of technology, but we didn't say that we want to help you be responsible for the material, even if other companies get the technology transferor, they will solve the materials themselves, but this material is just purchased from the Starfall Group, what is the matter with BMW?
So after thinking about it carefully, there are no loopholes on his side, and Raysef can't help but admire, this Japanese company is going to be unlucky, but what does this BMW company do? You must know that whether it is Asia or Europe, Japan and South Korea are the biggest competitors of European and American cars, and now that more than half of their opponents are dead, it is too late for Resef to be happy, how can there be opinions?
Akio Toyoda and the others really didn't let Stefan wait long, but quickly signed the contract, and didn't even go back to the hotel where they stayed to discuss, and made a decision directly in Stefan's manor. The contract was signed very resolutely, and the contract was signed directly in less than two days, and all the funds were transferred to the account of BMW.
When he got the money, Stefan asked people to directly hand over all the technical information to Akio Toyoda, and after getting the technical information, Akio Toyoda directly handed them over to the technical personnel he brought, these technical personnel need to confirm the correctness of these materials, of course, it doesn't necessarily have to be tested here, and it's the same when you go back to test, because the contract has detailed regulations, and although the whole system is not big, all the information adds up to a huge number. These technicians are only for temporary confirmation.
When Akio Toyoda's people confirmed the correctness of the information, Stefan had directly remitted $35 billion to the Starfall Group, although it was said to be 50% of the profits, but Stefan directly gave the Starfall Group an additional $5 billion, isn't it $5 billion? It's drizzling, you know, the Covante family later bought about $40 billion in short orders in the futures market, and the profit of this short order is not a small number now.
So Stefan doesn't care about the five billion dollars anymore, besides, the money is for nothing, isn't it? (To be continued......)
