Chapter 270: Ultra-low price acquisition
Xiao Weiguo stood up and said, "It seems that Mr. Noah and the Quandt family don't want to sell BMW to us!" Mr. Nick, it seems that the government's cartel regulations are not binding on BMW! In that case, we don't buy it. ”
Nick is also a little angry at this time, what is the matter with this Quald family and Noah? At this time, the lion was still opening his mouth, obviously not taking the government's decrees in his eyes, let alone taking him, an official of the General Economic Committee, in his eyes!
So Nick also said politely: "Mr. Noah, it seems that this deal cannot be negotiated today, if this is the case, I can only regret to report to the minister that your Quandt family is unwilling to sell BMW shares." ”
Seeing that Nick also helped the Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium speak, Noah was a little panicked, and he didn't know what to do at this time, if the price was lowered again, he didn't have the courage or the power, after all, Günter instructed him to sell 25 million marks, which was also agreed by several shareholders. But now if he doesn't agree to the high price and mess up the deal, he can't explain it to the Quandt family either. But offended the Ministry of Economy, even if it is a big chaebol like the Quandt family, I am afraid that life will not be easy, so after weighing it, Noah decided to talk about it again, and at the same time look at the opinions of several other shareholders.
Noah hurriedly said with a smile: "Ah, Mr. Nick, please don't leave!" I think we can talk a little bit more and see if we can lower the price a little more! Mr. Günther said that both the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex must be satisfied! So this price is still negotiable. ”
Nick's face turned a little pale, and he groaned, "Okay, I'll give you another chance!" This transaction is also about whether our cartel regulations can be enforced in place! ”
Noah snorted and said, "Mr. Philip, may I ask your opinion, how much do you want to buy all our shares in BMW?" At this time, Noah also wanted to know the price of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex, after all, if both sides got the two offers on the table. Then it is natural to expect that the final trading price will be between these two prices. Now Noah's offer is 25 million marks, and if the offer of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex is 15 million marks, the final price is generally 20 million marks. As the first bidder, Noah and others thought that they would be able to sell for 20 million marks in the end, but he didn't know that Xiao Weiguo and they had already prepared. We have a clear understanding of BMW's current business situation and are confident in acquiring BWM at a low price.
When the first round of confrontation was over, Noah felt that he had simply experienced a disaster, and then, he didn't even dare to conclude that there would be a second round of confrontation, because even if Dragon Soul Armor offered 5 million marks, he didn't dare to raise the price, but then he couldn't make a deal to Kuangt. So Noah whispered a few words to several shareholders at the same time to see their attitudes. Now those minority shareholders are naturally dominated by Noah's opinions. But they're also afraid of being remembered by Nick, and if that's the case, it's easy for Nick or the Ministry of Economy to bankrupt them.
Xiao Weiguo was amused: "The price we can accept is 10 million marks, you must know that your BMW is only worth 5 million marks at most, but we have seriously considered it, BMW still has some brand value." Of course, it will definitely become bigger and stronger in our hands, but not in your hands. I think as soon as we cancel your engine order, BMW will soon go out of business. In the field of aero engines. Your products cannot compete with foreign products, and now the piston engine will soon be replaced by a large part of our company's turboprop engine, which is a development trend! In terms of car manufacturing, there are Daim-Benz and Volkswagen and Porsche, and BMW is also facing the disadvantage of lack of competitiveness, so you have no choice! So be it. Let's experience it for ten minutes for the time being, and you 6 shareholders can discuss it again! ”
Noah and the other shareholders now know that what Xiao Weiguo said is all the truth! In the field of automobiles, Hitler commissioned Bolscher to design a Volkswagen with a price of less than 1,000 Reichsmarks, which was also a huge shock to BMW's newly established automobile manufacturing. Although the 315 car has also begun to become the main car of BMW, it is far less competitive than Gallen-Benz and Volkswagen and the automobile alliance. At the 1933 German Motor Show, the Automobile Union appeared for the first time as a company, and its display of the four-ring logo Audi front-wheel drive mid-size car caused a sensation.
In May 1933, the chairman of the board of directors of the German automobile company invited Ferdinand to ? Dr. Polscher went with him to meet with Hitler and explain to him the funds needed for German production to beat the Italian race cars. This meeting brought the two extraordinary figures to the same ideal of promoting the development of the German automobile industry. Bolscher submitted a report to the German Ministry of Transport recommending that work be carried out on the design of cars to improve the mobility of residents. Subsequently, Bolscher submitted a detailed financial plan for the development of Volkswagen to the German government. The report was in the hands of Hitler, who had a lengthy conversation at the Berlin Imperial Palace, who saw Hitler as a man in power who loved cars and wanted to use the Führer's power to realize his desire to develop a Volkswagen. Hitler summarized the people's car as: the maximum speed is 100 kilometers per hour, the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers should be less than 7 liters, it can carry a family of two adults and three children, the price does not exceed 1,000 marks, the car can be parked in the open air, the engine should be anti-freezing in winter, and it is easy to start.
For BWM, these are forces that are enough to overwhelm them. Daimmer-Benz is the world's oldest car manufacturer and one with a consistent business style. Since its merger in 1926, Galler-Benz has been a leader in the automotive industry.
Therefore, several shareholders of BMW discussed it, and after Noah called Mr. Günter again, they finally decided to agree on the price of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex. After all, it would be nice to be able to sell the company now, and 10 million marks is not too low, after all, it is the Ministry of Economy that cannot be offended, as well as Hitler. Günther also knew that Hitler valued Xiao Weiguo very much, so this time he had to sell BMW at a low price.
In fact, these shareholders don't know that BMW is a company with great potential, and now Xiao Weiguo knows that the other party agrees to sell BMW at an ultra-low price of 10 million marks, and his heart is simply smiling! (To be continued.) )
