Xiao Weiguo laughed and said: "To create an airborne radar, this difficulty is indeed not small!" Therefore, we must speed up the pace of mergers and acquisitions and incorporate more companies and talents into the Dragon Soul Ordnance Industry Consortium. One of the things we need to do right now is to acquire BMW. You must know that BMW is one of the largest engine companies in Germany, and some of the parts of our Wind Thunder engine are produced in BMW, and this company is now also producing cars, and we are developing tanks, so it is the best acquisition target for us. The German government also supports our acquisitions of those affiliated companies, so we are destined to grow even further at the right time. ”

Messerschmidt said: "Well, we have to negotiate immediately, the scale of BMW is not small, I am afraid that it will require a lot of funds, but fortunately, our sales are very strong, and the profits are good, and it is no problem to spend millions of dollars to buy BMW." ”

In fact, the annual sales of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex have already exceeded 50 million US dollars, and the total profit has reached 20 million US dollars, which is definitely a giant in the weapons industry. Therefore, in terms of funding, there is absolutely no problem. With the mass production of the Wind and Thunder series engines, the sales and total profits of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium will rise significantly, and it will not take long to double it, so it is definitely not a problem to merge and acquire some small and medium-sized affiliated enterprises.

The launch of the tank project and the development of jet aircraft require more system resources to be integrated and supported, and a large number of external OEM production is not impossible, but the core technology and components must be mastered by themselves.

The success of the first flight of the M29 competitive jet aircraft has laid a solid foundation for Dragon Soul Ordnance to win the championship in the 4th International Air Competition next year, and now its follow-up test flight will be completed by the test pilots of Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Xiao Weiguo and Messerschmidt returned to Germany a few days later to complete the acquisition of BMW, which had been dragging on for months. Now it's time to pocket it.

BMW, officially known as Bavarian Maschinenfabrik AG. It was registered in March 1916 by a company that manufactured aircraft engines. The company's first successful product was created by Max? Fitz designed an in-line six-cylinder engine, which was installed on German fighter planes during World War I. German ace pilot Ernst? Udet and Red Duke Fred? Feng? Lichtfen attributes a large part of their success to BMW's engines.

In November 1918, when the First World War ended and Germany was defeated, BMW underwent a series of reorganizations. Acquired the manufacturing rights of the Helios factory, but later found out that the Helios factory's motorcycles were useless and almost brought BMW down. In 1922, BMW developed the first motorcycle engine.

BMW wanted to build its own sedan, but it didn't want to challenge the big Daimler-Benz cars of the time, so it decided to try some smaller cars. At that time, a factory called Essenley Transportation Industries owned a car brand called Fort Walt, which was later renamed Dixie. At that time, sales of Dixi were not good, so in the eyes of BMW shareholders, the merger between Ixun and BMW was the best opportunity to improve the brand. Finally, in 1928 the two were merged. In July 1929, BMW launched its first car, the 315, which was produced until the end of 1932, nearly six years.

Of course, BMW's most powerful aero engine at this time is the aero engine, BMW's first aero engine work was the TypeIIIa put into production in 1917, which is a water-cooled design of the inline six-cylinder engine, and later BMW also developed a series of advanced aero engines, such as Junkers JU52 and the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex's M30 transport aircraft are all using BMW's 600 horsepower BMW VIIa 12-cylinder engine. At present, BMW is also OEM producing prototype parts for the Wind and Thunder engine of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex.

But like most companies. BMW's business is not too good! The blow of the economic crisis has caused BMW to also suffer serious losses. If it weren't for the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex, which produced the M30 transport aircraft and purchased their engines in large quantities, it was still a question whether BMW would be able to support it until the end of 1933.

Now the Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium is going to acquire BMW, which makes BMW's shareholders secretly happy. Now that BMW is losing more and more money, and their car products are far less competitive than the big car companies like Gallem-Benz and Volkswagen, it is of course a good thing for them that someone will take over their company. They want to sell for a good price! And these shareholders also know that the Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium is a company with both money and development prospects, and maybe BMW can develop better in their hands, so that the BMW brand may still be able to survive and will not die out because of eventual bankruptcy. These shareholders love and hate BMW, and they don't want the brand to disappear from the world.

In addition, the Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium is also a partner of BMW, BMW's aero engine has performed well in the M30 transport aircraft, and has also made its own contribution to the best-selling M30 transport aircraft. The shareholders are thinking so, how can they not be happy that they are about to throw off a burden and get a large amount of income.

In fact, BMW and BFW were not far apart, and when the representatives of both sides sat in the conference room of BMW, a fierce confrontation began. There are a total of six shareholders of BMW, some of whom are the shareholders themselves and some are representatives sent by the shareholders. After all, two of BMW's shareholders are bankers, and they don't come in person.

The negotiators of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex are naturally Xiao Weiguo, Messerschmidt and Lucas. In addition, officials from the German government were involved in the negotiations, after all, this was a merger and acquisition of a large cartel dragon soul munitions consortium chartered by Germany, and the General Council of German Economics also sent a representative of Nick to participate in the merger negotiations. In fact, this is no longer an ordinary merger, the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex has the support of Hitler and the German government, and the acquisition of BMW is something that cannot be changed, it is just a formality.
