Chapter 58 Acquisition of Daimler

"Your Highness, the time has been scheduled. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Daimler Paul? Daimler, Wilhelm? Mr. Maybach and his son Karl? Mr. Maybach, as well as the main investor of Daimler AG, Emile? Mr. Jelinek, you are already waiting for you in Stuttgart. "Carl? Feng? Jonalet said to Qin Tian.

"Well, get ready, let's leave for Stuttgart right away!" Qin Tian nodded.

"Yes, Your Highness the Prince."

With the success of Qin Tian's series of enterprises, and Wilhelm II's perception of Qin Tian getting better and better, Karl? Feng? Jonalet even believed that Qin Tian would definitely become the emperor of the German Empire in the future. Although, it seems that this possibility is still very small. But Carl always thought it was possible.

Qin Tian went to Stuttgart this time for the purpose of acquiring Daimler AG. Although, Daimler AG and Mercedes-Benz AG, both are large companies in the German automotive industry. But at a time when automobiles were only a luxury item for a very few, neither company was huge. And the situation is also worrying.

People in this era, except for Qin Tian, probably no one would have thought that the automobile industry would have such glorious development prospects! After Qin Tian established the German Motor Vehicle Manufacturing Company, he wanted to include Daimler AG or Mercedes-Benz Company, so that the German Motor Vehicle Manufacturing Company could quickly have the ability to manufacture various motor vehicles. Coupled with Qin Tian's financial support and Qin Tian's grasp of the future development of the automotive industry, they will inevitably achieve great success in the automotive industry.

The reason why Qin Tian put the target of the acquisition on Daimler AG instead of choosing Mercedes-Benz. The main reason is that Mercedes-Benz is now developing better than Daimler, and it is not easy to buy it. Daimler AG was different, and after the death of Mr. Daimler, the company began to decline. Although their 'Phoenix' car performs well and has a beautiful appearance. But in the competition with Mercedes-Benz, it is still at a disadvantage. The company's losses are also rising. Under such circumstances, Qin Tian's acquisition of Daimler is undoubtedly much more likely.

In addition to this, there is another reason, and that is that Daimler AG owns the patent for motorcycles. Motorcycles are less difficult and less expensive to manufacture than cars. Qin Tian also plans to produce heavy military motorcycles, as well as three-wheeled motorcycles, in order to obtain orders from the army. In the future, jeeps and military trucks will be produced one after another, and armored vehicles and tanks will be developed on this basis. Once these military vehicles are developed and equipped with troops, this will further improve the combat effectiveness of the German Army. Originally, the combat effectiveness of the German Army could be regarded as the first in Europe and even in the world. With the addition of these weapons, the probability of victory in future world wars is even higher.

Daimler AG, headquartered in Stuttgart, is undoubtedly much smaller than Mercedes-Benz, which has become the world's behemoth in the field of motor vehicle manufacturing.

On May 12, 1906, Qin Tian and Karl arrived at Daimler AG in Stuttgart. Daimler's shareholders and senior executives have already gotten the news and are already waiting for Qin Tian at the door of the company.

"Is this Daimler? Later, it merged with Mercedes-Benz to become the world's top car manufacturer. Qin Tian stood outside the door of Daimler AG, looking at the company, which had a small factory and a dilapidated three-story office building.

"Your Royal Highness, welcome to Stuttgart. It is a great pleasure for us as a company to have you here. "Paul, the general manager of the company? Daimler said. As the eldest son of the late Mr. Daimler, Paul? Daimler inherited the majority of the company's shares.

"Hello, Mr. Daimler. What do I have for Gottlieb? Mr. Daimler has always been a great admirer, and I have always believed that his invention of the automobile, as well as other patents, is of epoch-making significance. Soon, these inventions will shine! Qin Tian said with reverence.

Hearing Qin Tian's admiration for his father, Paul? Daimler's face was suddenly filled with smiles.

Next, Qin Tian shook hands with other senior executives of Daimler AG one by one.

In Paul? Under the leadership of Daimler, Qin Tian gave a brief visit to Daimler. I have to admit that the current automobile manufacturing industry is still very primitive. It has nothing to do with the high degree of automation of the future. Daimler's 'Phoenix' car, in the eyes of people in this era, may not be bad. However, in Qin Tian's eyes, it was too ugly.

After the visit, Qin Tian accompanied Paul? Daimler and others went to the conference room. For Qin Tian's intentions, Paul? Daimler and others have more or less guessed it. After all, although Qin Tian is not very old, he has become a business legend in the whole of Germany and even Europe. The German Welfare Lottery Company, founded by Qin Tian, has become the most profitable company in Germany.

In the case of Daimler AG's predicament, if Qin Tian wants to buy Daimler, they will not object.

"Guys, you should have guessed my intentions, right?" Qin Tian said with a smile.

"Your Royal Highness, do you want to take a stake in Daimler?" Paul? Daimler asked.

That's pretty much what it means. However, I would like to buy Daimler AG entirely. At least 80% or more of the shares must be acquired! Qin Tian said.

"Full acquisition?" The faces of several people in Daimler suddenly changed. It can be said that Daimler AG is completely their brainchild. If it is completely acquired by Qin Tian, will Daimler still be their Daimler company?

"Ladies and gentlemen, the situation of Daimler AG is very clear to everyone. Your old rival, Mercedes-Benz, is growing fast, but Daimler is holding back. The market share is also constantly being eroded by Mercedes-Benz. It is estimated that it will not be long before Daimler has no foothold in the automotive market. ”

Although, what Qin Tian said was a bit exaggerated. But for a few people at Daimler, everything seems to be developing in the direction that Qin Tian said. This is undoubtedly a disaster for them.

"After I bought Daimler, you were still the managers of the company. Mr. Daimler, you are still the managing director of Daimler AG. Mr. Maybach, the research and development of the company's new products is still in charge of you. Mr. Jelinek, your previous investment can turn into a large sum of money. ”
