Ishibashi Kishimoto saw Fellaini, the president of the Michelin Group, who was teaching Nike boss Phil Knight his experience, and his face immediately turned black.

I thought that those milk jokes on the Internet were all jokes, but I didn't think that the French were not only good at surrendering, but also good at teaching others the experience of surrender...

At this time, everyone also found Ishibashi Kishimoto and walked towards him one after another.

"Mr. Ishidashi, welcome."

"How are you doing lately?"

While everyone was talking about the most common hypocritical social language in the West, Ishibashi Kishimoto looked around and was surprised to find that DuPont President Mark Brown. Doyle, Goodyear Group President Richard Brown. Kramer.

Immediately, Ishihashi's heart was cold, and he asked tentatively, "You... You're here too? ”

Doyle smiled slightly, and said slightly apologetically, "Mr. Ishibashi, I'm afraid you're a step too late." ”

Kramer proudly handed Ishibashi Kishimoto a glass of champagne and said with a slight bow: "Yes, just as you got off the plane, we have reached an agreement with the Michelin Group to formally merge the tire business of the Michelin Group in the form of share exchange and cash." ”

Doyle adds with a smile: "In this way, the Michelin Group can focus on their restaurant rating business in the future, after all, when it comes to food, the French are experts." ”

Hahahaha~

Both of them smiled at the same time, and Ishibashi Kishimoto's face turned pale and he drank the champagne in his hand.

"Well, now Goodyear and Michelin, you're already the world's largest tire manufacturer," Ishibashi Kishimoto seemed a little exhausted.

Doyle said: "And we, DowDuPont, as the world's largest chemical supplier, will provide all the support we can to Goodyear Michelin from the ground up." ”

Raising a finger and shaking it gently, Doyle had a cold face and said in a deep voice: "Sending the opponent to God is the consistent principle of our DuPont Group, no one can stab us with a knife, and still retreat, no one!" ”

Immediately, Shiqiao Kishi's heart was cold, and his brows were twisted into a Sichuan shape.

"So, you want to continue to fight the Huaxia people in the field of tires?"

"Yes."

"When?"

Doyle, the president of DuPont, who has a quarter of Turkish ancestry, gritted his teeth and said in a fierce voice: "From the moment we signed the acquisition of Michelin, the war has begun!" ”

……

In late April, the rocks shattered!

Contrary to everyone's expectations, the world's largest chemical group, Dow DuPont in North America, joined hands with the world's fourth largest tire manufacturer, the Goodyear Group in North America, to acquire the world's second largest tire manufacturer, the French Michelin Group, at a price of 9.5 billion euros.

As one of the world's top 500 companies and the inventor of tire technology, the market value of the French Michelin Group once exceeded 20 billion euros, but due to the recent strong challenge from the eight major tire groups in China, they were finally only sold at a price of 9.5 billion euros.

"Michelin was sold! Do you know about this? ”

"What's the panic, they just sold the tire business, the restaurant rating business is still retained, and you still have a chance to eat Michelin-recommended restaurants."

"That's not the point at all, okay!"

"Now that North America has the world's most powerful tire production capacity, the eight major tire groups in China may be in trouble."

"I heard that this acquisition is the financial support provided by the two major consortiums of Wall Street, Goldman Sachs and Morgan, and the Angsa Group wants to target Kunlun Company and Plateau, which means that it is very obvious."

"I also heard a piece of grapevine that on the day of the signing, it was said that the boss of the Nike Group was also present, and maybe Nike was also a member of this alliance."

"It's normal, because Kunlun Infinite Technology was born, and the stock of Nike boss Phil Knight was directly cut in half, and he suffered heavy losses, and he hated it to death at the moment."

The people who eat melons have a lot of discussions in major forums.

The Chinese people never expected that DuPont Group would be so rigid, and after losing in the field of chemical fiber, it refused to admit defeat and chased all the way to the tire field.

In the originally calm sky, suddenly there was a haze, and everyone was predicting that a new war might soon begin.

Sure enough, at the end of April, DuPont and Goodyear officially announced the acquisition, and will hold a major event conference in Paris, France on May 1.

……

When the outside world is turbulent, the plateau is living a peaceful life with two points and one line.

It was another early morning, and Gao Yuan appeared in the laboratory on time, taking his little assistant Zhou Helin to review yesterday's experimental data.

Despite the high-end knowledge base provided by the system, it is still extremely difficult to put knowledge and blueprints into reality.

Recently, Gao Yuan encountered the problem of insufficient number of nanotubes, resulting in the energy density of the solid-state battery in the experiment not meeting the standard, Gao Yuan had to develop new polymer filling tools, and adjust the element ratio inside the battery.

In the afternoon, Gao Yuan received a call from Cao Feiyu, asking him to go to the big conference room together to watch the live broadcast in Paris.

After a series of acquisitions and brewing, North America is finally about to make a move, and Cao Feiyu and the company's management are very concerned about this matter.

"Let's go, let's go and have a look." Gao Yuan smiled and said to Zhou Helin: "I heard that this time is a global live broadcast, those guys are afraid that our English is not good, so they specially arranged Chinese subtitles, and the meaning of the call is too obvious." ”

Zhou Helin nodded, and the two went to the conference room, only to see Cao Feiyu, Xu Qingzhou, Li Changxing, Song Yuewen and other main forces of the company already seated.

Everyone in Kunlun Company behaved quite calmly, and they placed melon seeds and drinks on the conference table, as if they were going to have a tea party.

Soon after Gao Yuan sat down, the live broadcast began, Michelin Group President Fellaini, Goodyear President Kramer, the two of them appeared together, and announced the news of the merger of the two giants in public.

There was not warm applause from the audience, because the live broadcast was held in France, and the proud French people didn't seem to appreciate it, and always felt that it was the North American tyrants who bought their own companies and took advantage of them.

Europe's contempt for North America runs throughout, and they generally think that North America is a group of peasants, lacking in temperament, working hard, money worshippers, making money for their greatest pleasure, and not keen on art and culture.

It wasn't until the end of the nineteenth century that this perception improved, when the more industrious Chinese came...

As expected, after the acquisition of Michelin in North America, the biggest strategy adopted was to sell at a reduced price.

For example, the Michelin ultra-silent tire Haoyue series is priced in half, and then discounted by 7%, and it also comes with an additional one-year warranty.

"I'll go, this is too ruthless!"

"This price has dropped, and it will be cut directly to the knee!"

"Michelin used to be the most expensive tire, but now it's the cheapest!"

"Michelin has cut prices like crazy, and other tire companies will follow suit, right?"

"How? In order to expand production capacity, the eight major tire groups in China have borrowed a lot of money from the bank without paying interest? ”

"I heard that the eight major tire groups don't make much money, mainly Kunlun Company, they are responsible for providing technical support, and at the same time, they will take the biggest profits."

In the barrage, netizens talked a lot.

Price reduction has always been the simplest and most crude business strategy, so has the price reduction storm in North America been effective?

It should be said that it is still effective, after all, the Michelin high-end series has always been very powerful, especially the low-speed performance, anti-skid pattern design, friction noise, etc., Michelin has always been at the forefront of the world.

Now the Michelin high-end series has been slashed like crazy, much cheaper than the Kunlun Rolling Stone, highlighting its cost performance, and those consumers who are not so strong in the pursuit of performance will consider their products.

In the final analysis, most vehicles are a means of home transportation, as long as they can pick up their children and buy groceries, and the pursuit of extreme performance is only a minority of consumers.

Grabbing his hair with his hand, Takahara asked the people around him, "What do you think?" ”
