Chapter 316 - Identifying Acquisition Targets (2-in-1)

(Come to the starting point to subscribe, I haven't asked for it for a long time)

Chen Ye wants to take a leave of absence?

Zhou Xiao was a little depressed.

This Spring Festival has just ended, except for the life science laboratory, most of the people in the origin group have spent a happy Spring Festival, why do they have to ask for leave.

The joint laboratory has restrained the strength of the top experimental team of the origin group, Zhou Xiao is now the time to employ people, and it is also the time when there is the most shortage of people.

There are not many people in the Origin Group, but there is a lot of work.

In addition to the day-to-day work, there are currently three important tasks in the hands of the Source Group.

One is to continue the research of DNA storage technology, the other is the research of green filaments and alien digestive bacteria, and the remaining one is what Zhou Xiao is doing now - investing or acquiring a car company.

The joint laboratory spends a lot of money, and Zhou Xiao has to make more money while completing the task.

The consumer electronics industry is counted as one, and the energy industry is counted as one.

If you want to enter the energy industry, you must lay out the most profitable field of the energy industry in advance - new energy vehicles.

Is there a beautiful spark between the high-density energy block and the ionized bacteria battery?

Zhou Xiao is full of confidence in this.

To complete this project, Zhou Xiao is ready to use Chen Ye, who has rich management experience.

"Are you not feeling well? Then go home and rest for two days. Zhou Xiao said.

Chen Ye: "I'm not unwell. ”

Zhou Xiao: "Is there an urgent matter at home? ”

Chen Ye's words made Zhou Xiao unable to refute: "My mother urged me to get married and let me go home on a blind date." ”

Zhou Xiao: "Blind date? What a blind date you have! ”

"Twenty-seven, two eight right away!" Chen Ye counted with his fingers and said: "28 years old is already a big girl in the blind date market, if it is a commodity, it is a cake that is about to expire or clothes that are about to change the season, and it needs to be discounted." ”

Wang Yulan has been covering her mouth and snickering, of course she knows what Chen Ye is thinking in her heart, and saying these words is just to provoke Zhou Xiao.

How do you know that Zhou Xiao is also an old fritter, so he doesn't eat this set at all, "Our Anyang products are so good, you don't say your age, I thought you were just eighteen." ”

Zhou Xiao said: "I don't allow this fake, your mother will give her money if you let you go on a blind date again, she said that you will give her 10,000 yuan once, and you will give her 100,000 yuan ten times, so that she doesn't keep urging her." ”

Xiaowen, the assistant who came in to pour water for Zhou Xiao, heard this and jokingly said, "Mr. Zhou, my mother also urged me." ”

The working atmosphere in the office has always been relatively harmonious, and everyone is often joking regardless of their position.

Zhou Xiao said to Xiaowen: "Wenzi, I think your mother is right, you should really go back on a blind date and find someone to take care of you." ”

Xiaowen quickly stuck out her tongue and slipped out.

Chen Ye pouted and said, "I ask for personal leave, you can deduct my bonus." ”

Zhou Xiao looked through the information collected by Chen Ye and became more satisfied, Chen Ye is worthy of being the company's old Jianghu, basically figuring out the information of the automobile industry, and such a talent cannot go back to vacation.

Zhou Xiao said casually: "You can't even ask for maternity leave." ”

"Poof!" Hearing the two of you arguing like this, Wang Yulan couldn't help it.

Chen Ye also answered, "Then someone has to let me get pregnant first!" ”

Zhou Xiao: "The next research topic in the life science and medical laboratory should be to study the asexual reproduction of human beings. ”

"Sister Lan!" Chen Ye couldn't say anything about Zhou Xiao, and asked for help with a sad face.

Wang Yulan spread her hands and said that she could not do anything.

Chen Ye's leave must have been in vain.

Jokes aside, the three of them still got down to business.

From Chen Ye's report, Zhou Xiao probably knows the current situation of Xia Guo's car companies.

The automobile industry in Xia has developed for more than 30 years, foreign-funded enterprises have come and gone, and domestic brands have risen and fallen, which is very tragic.

If you only look at the brand, do not distinguish the company where the brand is located, in the field of civilian passenger cars, BBA is still the three giants in the field of luxury cars in Xiaguo, in the field of non-luxury cars, Volkswagen and Toyota are far ahead, followed by Japanese Honda and Nissan and Buick in the United States.

Among the joint venture brands, the former glorious Chefurai, Hyundai, Kia, etc. are struggling between life and death, while Peugeot and Citroen are basically dead, and Suzuki's body can no longer be found.

Xia's domestic auto brands have performed well in recent years, and Geely, Chang'an, and Hafu can rank among the top 10 in terms of sales, but there is a big gap between profits and the top five car companies dispatched.

In addition to Geely, Chang'an and Hafu, other brands are either on the verge of life and death, or bankrupt.

One of the most typical is Porsche, which was sought after by many Chinese people because of its resemblance to Porsche, but unfortunately, this is the era of voting with feet, and Porstech eventually went bankrupt because of poor technology.

It is worth noting in the field of new energy vehicles.

The most dazzling is Tesla, although Tesla's annual sales are less than a fraction of Toyota's, and the zero run is not much higher, but it has been popular in the market and has become the world's most valuable car company, with a total market value of $417.217 billion. And Toyota's market capitalization is only $186.714 billion.

This shows a problem, investors are very optimistic about the new energy vehicle industry, and Tesla is one of the leaders, a bit similar to Pingguo ten years ago.

Xia Guo is not a company that does not make new energy vehicles, the first place is Bidi, followed by Future Automobile, Concept Automobile, Xiaopeng Automobile and so on.

Biddy doesn't say it, although it has been tepid on the sales list, it cannot be denied that his lithium battery technology is the leader of Xia Guo.

Although the sales volume of car brands such as Future and Concept is pitiful, the market value exceeds that of most traditional car companies in Xiaguo, and the reason is the same as that of BYD Auto - global investors, especially Wall Street investors, are interested in the future new energy market.

As for what kind of car companies such as Hengda Automobile have a ticket nature, there are also many car companies in Xia Guo, which are not within Zhou Xiao's consideration.

Zhou Xiao is not going to enter the automotive industry immediately, but to use the platform of the car to conduct some tests of new energy.

So what he needs is an enterprise that has the ability to complete the automotive production chain.

Here, Chen Ye also gave the answer - Nanma Automobile.

The history of Nanma Automobile is very long, at the beginning, it was the introduction of Mazda Flemy production line, and the production of Mazda Flemy cars became famous for a while, and finally became independent as Nanma Motor Group.

However, like many domestic cars, Nanma Automobile was on the verge of bankruptcy because of backward technology, high costs, fierce competition, and many domestic cars.

Chen Ye said: "There are several main reasons why I chose Nanma Motor Group. ”

"The first is because the equity of Nanma Automobile Group is clean, after FAW Group transferred the equity of Nanma to Hai Province, in order to raise funds, Nanma Group is all tradable shares, and Hai Province and Nanma Company currently own 39.6% of the company's equity."

"The second is that the debt of Nanma Automobile is relatively clean, in the early years, Nanma Automobile was indeed riddled with debt, but thanks to the support of the province and the decision-making of the group's senior management, Nanma Group actively invested in the real estate market, and paid off most of the debts through real estate development and land sales. Although the company is still ST in the A-share market, the debt is not much. ”

"The third reason is that most of the industries of Nanma Automobile are in Hai Province, and we have formed the world's largest energy block R&D and production base in Le County, Hai Province."

Chen Ye's analysis is very good.

Zhou Xiao listened to Chen Ye's analysis and said: "What are you married, continue to be single and contribute to the company." ”

Chen Ye gave Zhou Xiao a big eye!

The research is already very clear!

Zhou Xiao said to Chen Ye: "Don't you want to take a leave?" I was granted a leave of absence, but it was just to accompany me to the province to have a look. ”

Chen Ye is happy now!

Book air tickets and hotels in one go.

However, the two of them did not go on vacation, but to inspect the South Malaysia Group.

When Mo Li heard the news that Zhou Xiao was going to Hai Province, she was quite depressed, and when she came back from Hai Province, Zhou Xiao went to Hai Province again.

The joint laboratory's research on DNA storage technology has reached the most critical moment, and Mo Li can't leave, otherwise he really wants to go to Hai Province with Zhou Xiao to have a look.

The capital of Hai Province.

Zhou Xiao and Chen Ye visited the largest 4S store in South Malaysia in Hai Province in the name of consumers.

Compared with the 4S stores of BBA, Toyota and even Geely, the types of cars in Nanma Automobile are pitiful, and there are only two SUVs and one electric car. Among them, the most expensive SUV is only in the early 120,000s, and there are more than 20,000 discounts at the terminal.

There are very few customers in the 4S store, and it should be said that there are basically no customers.

Zhou Xiao and Chen Ye walked into the store, and the sales consultant greeted them warmly, serving tea and pouring water and delivering snacks and fruits.

With this kind of service, Zhou Xiao gave high marks to Nanma Group.

What is the technology of the car and whether it can be sold is a question of the company's strength.

Service is a matter of corporate attitude.

For the sake of the 4S little sister working so hard, Zhou Xiao immediately picked up a 125,900 Nanma 8S in full, which is also the top car of the Nanma Group.

This is also Zhou Xiao's second time buying a car (the first time was Hongguang Bread), and it has also contributed to a domestic brand.

The sales little sister Xiaorou couldn't believe it!

Nanma 8S sold more than 300 units in the country in a month, and today this man did not bargain and did not compare and bought one directly, which is simply too lucky.

Zhou Xiao was willing to pick up the car immediately, but there was a request.

"Our company has a business in Southern Province and may need to buy multiple cars, so I would like to visit your factory and have a tour."

It's definitely a big deal! Xiao Rou immediately asked the manager for instructions.

After the manager reported to the company, he was warmly invited by the company.

In the end, it was decided to be accompanied by Xiaorou, and there were also people at the factory to receive them, inviting Zhou Xiao and Chen Ye to visit the factory.

On the way, Zhou Xiao also knew the current difficulties and dreams of Nanma.

There are too many difficulties, such as funding gaps, few models, insufficient productivity, insufficient technical strength, insufficient publicity, and many competitors.

Even so, Nanma still insisted on independent research and development.

The 8S uses its own engine, and the power output is good.

In the factory, Zhou Xiao saw a hint of decay.

Many workshops have been shut down, and the workshops that are still in operation are still producing without a trace, giving people a sense of pathos.

Southerners love Toyo cars, and Ryota and Nissan are all the rage.

However, Nanma Motor, which was born from Mazda as a model, did not have such good luck.

After the tour, the two returned to the hotel.

Chen Ye asked Zhou Xiao what he thought.

Zhou Xiao said: "I am still more willing to invest in it, after all, Nanma Group still has a complete design, R&D and production chain, and the price is not expensive. ”

At present, the market value of Nanma Group is only 4 billion RMB, and the stocks in the A-share market are only more than two yuan.

Zhou Xiao and Huawei made tens of billions of dollars selling mobile phones together last year, which is enough to see that it is too difficult for Nanma Group.

"So is it time to negotiate directly with Hai Province and Nanma Group to acquire the company?"

Chen Ye said: "In order to seek funds, Nanma Group has been looking for asset restructuring or investors, and now it should be very hungry. ”

"No!" No matter how Zhou Xiao says it, he is a businessman, and his interests are paramount.

"According to the urine nature of Xia Guo Capital, now negotiating with Hai Province and Nanma Group will definitely push up the stock price, and lead to some shareholders asking for a sky-high price, which is not in the company's interests."

Chen Ye said: "But if we buy stocks in the market, more than 5% will have to raise the card, and this news cannot be hidden." ”

"The solution was figured out by people, who said we were going to make an acquisition in the name of the company?" Zhou Xiao said: "Find a securities institution that has always had a cooperative relationship with us, sign a confidentiality agreement, our company has 20 retail investors, they come out with trading technology, everyone sits to buy stocks for me, and everyone is only allowed to buy shares within 4.9% (operation, don't be serious)." ”

"If it's less than 5%, you don't need to raise a sign, and you can buy most of the shares first. Let them use all technical means to minimize the cost! ”

"Cunning old man!" Chen Ye glanced at him.

The two stayed in a five-star hotel and looked at the sea view from the balcony.

The wind blew Chen Ye's hair, and the girl's eyes were as deep as the starry sky.

Zhou Xiao felt very good at this time.

The emotions between the two are strange.

I have entered a daily chemical company, seen the most embarrassed other party, and started a business together, and now we have achieved success.

It's not early.

Chen Ye glanced at Zhou Xiao and said, "Then I'll rest in the room first." ”

Girls, they haven't let go of their reserves.

In the evening, Wang Yulan sent a message to Chen Ye and said, "How is it going? ”

Chen Ye said boredly: "Go back to your own home." ”

Wang Yulan sent Chen Ye a pig-headed expression, "I don't take the opportunity." ”

Chen Ye's face turned red, and he thought in his heart, he couldn't tie Zhou Xiao to the bed and correct the Fa on the spot, right?

In the next few days, Zhou Xiao and Chen Ye continued their vacation in Hai Province.

Jiangcheng Changzheng Securities Company has begun to act.

Twenty Origin Group employees' accounts, under the control of professional traders, began to buy ST South Malaysia.

It was an uneventful day.

But this day was another unusual day for the retail investors of the Southern Malaysia Group and the Southern Malaysia Group itself.

Lao Huang, an old shareholder, got up early and sat in front of the computer looking at the stocks.

Three months ago, he bet on the news of the asset restructuring of Nanma Group, and 300,000 heavy positions in ST Nanma, but he was deeply trapped, and the stock price fell from five yuan to 2.7 yuan now, and he became a shareholder miserably.

Today, Lao Huang decided to cut the meat.
