"Are you sure they really said that?"

At Stuttgart Airport, Zhong Shi and Gao Dongfang had been waiting for more than half an hour, and there was still no one on the Porsche Group, and Gao Dongfang, who was hungry and cold, couldn't help but complain.

To be precise, it would not be accurate to describe them as hungry and cold, because the airport was very warm, and these two could not have been reduced to starvation, no matter how poor they were.

But such a long wait made Gao Dongfang feel very irritable, his mood was a little abnormal, and he inevitably spoke with a bit of tone.

"Didn't you hear me when I called?"

Zhong Shi gave him a blank look, and replied in the same impatient tone, "Wait a little longer, maybe the heavy snow outside will delay the road closure." Calm down, this time they begged us to come, how could they leave us aside? ”

"That's just as well!"

Gao Dongfang pursed his lips with a natural expression, "By the way, Mr. Zhong, what are you going to do to get Porsche to give up the acquisition of the Volkswagen Group?" ”

"I haven't thought about it yet!"

Zhong Shi replied absentmindedly, but his eyes drifted to the glass curtain wall at the exit of the airport, under the bright light, the goose feather snow fell wantonly in the pitch black, and the wind whistled from time to time, rolling up the snow waves like a stormy wave, rushing towards the waiting crowd, but it was blocked by the thick glass curtain wall. The whole airport is like an unyielding reef in the angry waves, facing waves of snow waves, and the people hiding in the reef are so small and helpless in the face of nature's might.

"What are you thinking?"

After not hearing Zhong Shi's reply for a long time, Gao Dongfang turned his head to take a look, only to find that the other party was staring out the window in a daze. Following Zhong Shi's gaze, Gao Dongfang only saw the heavy snow. Feeling bored for a moment, he touched Zhong Shi's shoulder and asked curiously.

"I'm thinking about what happened in Saudi Arabia."

Thinking of what happened two days ago, Zhong Shi still had palpitations, "I really didn't expect it." I was surprised that there was such chaos in Saudi Arabia. Although I have no plans to invest in Saudi Arabia yet, the current investment climate does not mean that it is a good place to invest. ”

"Worried about your oil field?"

Gao Dongfang snorted twice and said disapprerovingly, "Actually, after you made your fortune, you have been closely protected, so you don't know much about the ugly side of this world. No matter where in the world, there is no struggle all the time. Even me. Although he did not suffer an assassination like Prince Faisal, the verbal war of words was experienced every day, and it was unspeakably painful. ”

"But based on my speculation, there is a high probability that there is a shortage of funds for Jibai's amazing infrastructure. Prince Faisal's previous conversation was a half-truth and half-truth. However, it is completely impossible to intervene in their infrastructure construction, with my current position and capacity. I just need to escalate the situation there. The rest of the decisions are left to the top. ”

"Where there is high risk, there is high return." Gao Dongfang touched his shiny hair. He said with heartfelt emotion, "Moreover, if Huaxia intervenes, the whole situation will change." Even if the other party wants to move Prince Faisal again, he has to weigh it carefully. ”

"Really?"

Zhong Shi asked suspiciously, stroking his smooth chin. "Where is our country, with so much influence?"

"Of course!"

Gao Dongfang's face suddenly showed a proud look, "Don't underestimate our influence, although we pursue a policy of taoguang and obscurity, we will definitely not be soft when it is time to make a move." You know, the main source of the country's wealth is oil exports. With the growth of our country's economy, the demand for crude oil has increased exponentially. In the face of sluggish demand in the United States and Europe, these pure crude oil exporters are becoming more and more dependent on us, and we never meddle openly in their domestic affairs, which has led to a growing internal goodwill towards us. In this case, it is only a matter of time before our voice increases. ”

"I see!"

Zhong Shi, who understood, nodded, "If that's the case, then with your official status, you can enjoy enough protection." But for me, I'm afraid all this is unlikely. ”

"Don't be presumptuous, as long as you do a good job in this matter of the Volkswagen Group, in return, the state will not take care of your business." Gao Dongfang smiled hesitantly, "You are the one who put the number in front of the chief, even if you don't do it, the country is also your strong backing." ”

"Why haven't you come yet?"

After silently digesting it for a long time, Zhong Shi skillfully changed the topic, took out his mobile phone and called Wolfgang again. Porsche, but to his great surprise, this time it couldn't be dialed.

"What happened?"

Seeing Zhong Shi's face gloomy, Gao Dongfang realized that the situation was not good, slowly stood up straight, and asked in a low voice, "Is there something wrong with the Porsche Group?" ”

"They're not going to meet us!" Zhong Shi's face was ugly, if he was still making excuses for the Porsche Group before, the current situation is undoubtedly slapping him in the face. Although it is not known exactly what happened, Zhong Shi can conclude that it was definitely deliberate on the part of Porsche.

"They're not coming!" Zhong Shi handed the phone to Gao Dongfang, who was confused, and said lightly, "I don't know what the reason is, they gave up on us!" ”

"Abandoned us?"

The muscles in Gao Dongfang's cheeks twitched violently twice, feeling that the whole thing was really a little incredible, but the beep on the phone reminded him that it was all true.

"So what are we going to do now?" At this time, he was a little flustered, and could only ask Zhong Shi, "Go back?" ”

"It's hard to come here, why do you just go back?"

The corners of Zhong Shi's mouth showed a sinister smile, "Since he wants to play, let's have a good time with him." Hehe, that gives us a reason to reach out to the people of the Volkswagen Group in an open and honest way. Let's go, let's find a place to rest first, and when the weather is good, we will immediately turn to Wolfsburg and pay a good visit to Wolfgang. Porsche. I'm sure they'll give us enough courtesy. ”

"That's all there is to it!" Gao Dongfang thought secretly.

……

Ferdinand. Piëch has been busy lately.

When the Porsche Group offered the option killer, the entire Volkswagen Group lamented, knowing that the general trend had gone. In the midst of the pessimism, only Ferdinand. Piëch kept his composure enough.

"They don't have enough money to exercise these options!" At that time, he swore an oath.

As he expected, a few months later, the Porsche Group acquired 50.3 percent. The pace of further acquisitions was stopped, and then the news of insufficient funds within the Porsche Group came out, which made the Volkswagen Group breathe a sigh of relief.

So far, however, the crisis has not been resolved.

During this time, including Ferdinand. Piëch and a number of other top brass campaigned to find a way to stop the Porsche Group's takeover, but unfortunately, everyone from the government to the banks was no longer optimistic that the Volkswagen Group would be able to stop the takeover.

So the current situation of the Volkswagen Group has not improved at all.

But let Ferdinand. Piëch realized that there was no end to the heavens. Not long ago, the representatives of the board of directors of Porsche tentatively proposed to distribute the funds within the Volkswagen Group, and the vigilant Piëch immediately realized that the Porsche Group was short of cash.

Recalling the consortium from the banks during this period, Piëch confirmed that there was a huge liquidity crisis in the Porsche Group.

It was at that moment that Ferdinand. A crazy thought ran into Piëch's head. Namely:

Reverse takeover of the Porsche Group.

But that's easier said than done. First of all. Like the Porsche Group, the Volkswagen Group has a plan of up to 12 billion euros, but it is even more difficult to use this money to obtain the unanimous approval of the management, as well as the approval of the union and the shareholders' meeting. Because Ferdinand. Piëch gave up on this path after only a little thought.

Now the Volkswagen Group needs a strong reinforcement, an exceptionally strong foreign reinforcement.

But Ferdinand. Piëch is well aware of the need to find a strong foreign aid in the face of the current tightening global economic situation. It is as difficult as using the company's internal funds, which is very difficult. Although he contacted many world-renowned large conglomerates during this time, when he heard that tens of billions of dollars of funds were going to be used, they all retreated.

"Who's looking for me?"

On this day, Ferdinand. Piëch was discussing business with his subordinates when he heard a call from his secretary, who asked unhappily, "Didn't I know I was in a meeting right now?" What needs to be notified now? ”

"That's right, Mr. Chairman, there is a gentleman surnamed Zhong who wants to visit you, saying that he wants to make an appointment!" The male secretary replied with sincere trepidation that although there was only a wall away from Piëch's meeting, he did not have the courage to break in, and could only inform him by telephone, and that Piëch had been too difficult to serve lately.

"What Mr. Zhong?"

Ferdinand. When Piëch heard this, he was immediately furious, "Didn't the other party report to the unit?" Don't take any cats and dogs to me, next time you disturb me, get out of here for me! ”

After saying that, he snapped and hung up the phone categorically.

"Don't be angry, maybe it's a mistake."

A senior executive of the Volkswagen Group calmly lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said softly, "Chairman, if we really want to buy the Porsche Group, we can use the form of equity exchange, but what is also indispensable is that there is still one less foreign aid with strong financial resources, otherwise it is impossible to implement it." ”

The Volkswagen executive, Steggen, was thin, with high cheekbones and eyes sunk into his sockets, but within the Volkswagen Group, he was known for his resourcefulness and was Piëch's hardcore confidant and number one thinker.

"What?"

Just when Piëch had just lost a little breath, he saw Stegen's face suddenly change drastically, and he shouted, "What, surnamed Zhong?" ”

"What's wrong?"

Piech suddenly became suspicious, his assistant had never been so out of shape, "What happened?" ”

"Boss, do you remember Zhongshi?" Seeing Piëch's suddenly enlightened expression, Stegen said in an accentuated tone, "Yes, it's the super-rich man from Hong Kong, the one who once helped the Porsche family!" ”

"Did he call?"

After thinking about it for a moment, Piëch's face showed a look of ecstasy, "If it was really him who called, then we really found foreign help." By the way, don't they support the Porsche family, why would they call me? ”

"I don't know about that, but I'll have to get in touch first!"

Stegen had already stood up excitedly, clapped his hands and said, "Anyway, let's make sure it's him first, and then invite people here, and we can talk about the specific intentions." (To be continued......)
