Bill Ford's president?? Ford is talking to more than a dozen major shareholders about Raytheon's demands.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Raytheon Group has asked for 10 billion yuan to buy a 30% stake in Ford Motor Co., Ltd., and I would like to hear your opinions on this matter." Bill?? Ford asked.

In fact, among the three major car companies of the Mi Li family, Ford Motor has the strongest family atmosphere, while GM and Chrysler have suffered several bankruptcy crises, and the shares and control of the founder family have been diluted to a very small size.

However, Ford has always been controlled by the Ford family, mainly because Ford's founder, Ford Sr., created the AB two-tier share system.

At present, the Ford family still controls 40% of the decision-making power of Ford Motor. Ford and its largest shareholder, William?? Clay is a member of the Ford family, plus shares held by the family trust and other family members.

Although the Ford family has been passed down to the fourth generation, it is still the Ford family that is firmly in the hands of the Ford family.

This is one of the reasons why, GM went bankrupt, Chrysler was half dead, and Ford still had the money to annex most of GM's legacy.

William?? Clay thought for a moment: "You can talk to them, but the bottom line is that the shares sold must be common stock, and they only have the right to supervise, not participate in the day-to-day management of the company." ”

"I agree with William." Bill?? Ford's sister agreed.

"30 percent is too high, and let the negotiators keep the proportion as low as possible." Another shareholder said.

"I also think that the proportion is too high, since it is a negotiation, then there is a bargain."

"I'm afraid that the Raytheon Group has a tough attitude, after all, they are now in control."

“……”

Other shareholders also talked about it, and it was clear that they were also selling shares to Raytheon, but this percentage was up for debate, after all, no one wanted their earnings to be reduced.

"Okay, let the negotiators talk as much as they can, and if it doesn't work, accept the 30% ratio, and don't forget that if we don't agree, we will inevitably be seriously affected." William?? Clay reminded.

Bill?? Ford followed suit:

"William is not wrong, Ford's profit this year may be less than 300 million US dollars, if we don't solve this problem, we are very likely to lose money next year, reluctant to 30% of the shares, if not profitable, what is the use of these shares in our hands?"

"If it really doesn't work, agree to 30%, but maybe you can lower the proportion by talking about it."

The other shareholders nodded approvingly.

"Then I'll let Haytings talk as much as I can!" Bill?? Ford agrees to do so, and if he can talk about a smaller ratio, he wouldn't want to.

……

Shanmei, Miramar Hotel.

Heitings received the email from the headquarters and hurriedly opened it.

"The head office and the board of directors should agree to this!" Parker asked affirmatively.

"Like you said, Mr. Ford agreed to this, but asked us to negotiate as little as possible to sell the shares." Headings replied as he looked at the email.

Like Ford's negotiation team, Musk and the Volkswagen Group's negotiation team also live at the Miramar Hotel.

However, Musk is now depressed, and Raytheon Group has given him two choices, the first is a 30% stake, and the second is a 30% price increase for Raytheon batteries.

Tesla, which is not highly profitable, is very likely to be doomed if the supply price of Raytheon's battery really increases by 30%.

Musk weighed the pros and cons as he walked to the top floor of the hotel.

"Hello! Mr. Musk! "Volkswagen's negotiation lead is Chief Operating Officer Marcus.

was suddenly stopped, and Musk reacted at this time, and saw that it turned out to be Marcus, the chief operating officer of the Volkswagen Group:

"It's a great honor to meet you!"

"I'm also very honored, is Mr. Musk going for tea?"

"Exactly." Although he didn't want to drink tea, he just wanted to simply relax, but the fooling master Musk hurriedly responded.

"Together?"

"It's a great honor."

The two of them came to the Xingchen Tea Hall, which is like a starry sky composed of holographic projections in the cosmic space, which makes people feel truly dreamlike here.

"What tea does Mr. Musk want to drink?" Marcus asked, once he was seated.

"That turquoise tea." Musk apparently doesn't know how to express green tea.

“OK。” Marcus turned to the tea brewer next to him and said, "Sir, a pot of green tea!" ”

"Green tea? These are green tea varieties. The tea brewer opens the holographic bracelet and lists a row of green tea varieties.

[West Lake Longjing; Emei snow buds; Meitan green buds; Orchid Sparrow Tongue; Huiming tea; Dongting Biluochun; Sword Leaf; Mabian Yunwu Tea; Rizhao green tea; Gu Zhu Purple Tea; Meridian Xianhao; Maofeng of Huangshan Mountain; Lu'an melon slices; Xinyang Maojian ...... ］

Marcuston was a little confused, looking at the row of green tea varieties, he was at a loss and stared at Musk.

"The second." He could only bite the bullet and choose one by the way.

"A pot of Emei snow buds!"

The tea brewer began to brew tea with a very sense of ceremony, anyway, in front of people who don't understand, it is a proper high-end atmosphere.

Anyway, Marcus and Musk felt full of compulsion, and watched the tea maker make tea (pretending to be forced) with an expression of appreciating art.

Since it is so tall, of course the charge must keep up with such a tall one, a pot of tea is 9999 Chinese yuan, and there is absolutely no bullying for children.

The tea brewer operated as fiercely as a tiger for a while, and delivered the full tea to the two of them.

"Thank you!"

"Please use it slowly!"

After the tea brewer left, Musk said slowly: "Volkswagen is also here for Thor batteries?"

"Yes."

"Didn't the negotiations go well?"

"It's not going well, they ask for 30% of the shares, and it's 10 billion Chinese dollars to buy, what's the difference between this and giving away?" Marcus smiled wryly.

After Musk took a sip of tea, he said very helplessly: "Tesla is too, they are angry at Tesla and General Motors' cooperation with Super 500 batteries, if they don't sell 30% of their shares, they will increase the battery supply price by 30%." ”

"If you have technology, you can really do whatever you want, we didn't do the same for Dongtang Enterprises before, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to come back to us in the end." Marcus said self-deprecatingly.

"What are you going to do? Promise? Refuse?"

"I'm waiting for a decision from headquarters, but what about Tesla?" Marcus replied.

Musk said helplessly: "Tesla can only agree, you may still have the capital to bargain, Tesla does not." ”

The reason why Tesla is not qualified to bargain is because it is a pure electric vehicle company, and there is paralysis if it loses its battery, while Volkswagen is not a pure electric car company, they still have a fuel car business.

The two of them spit bitter water while drinking tea, although they both hated the Thor Group so much, but now that the situation is stronger than people, they have to bow their heads.

After several days of negotiations, Ford first reached an agreement with Raytheon Group, which bought 27% of Toyota's common shares for 8 billion yuan, and Ford received the internal supply price of Raytheon's battery.

Ford's submission forced Tesla to accept Raytheon's terms, and after Tesla, Volkswagen Group also bowed its head and sold 24% of its common shares to Raytheon Group for 5 billion yuan.

In the face of this trend, Chrysler, Audi and other companies have also succumbed to the feet of Raytheon.
