Chapter 1242 Daines's Choice
When the Romanian salesman left, Xiao Yang and Oman had time to read the information sent by Mi Qilin, and when they saw the confirmation of the news given to Minister Jin, they knew that it was time to act.
"I'll arrange it." Xiao Yang said to Aman.
"Wait a minute." Aman stopped him from taking the phone, tapped his fingers on the tablet in his hand, and said: "The situation between Ansaldo and the parent company is a little complicated, this problem is beyond previous expectations, once your side launches, it will involve the investment of Chinese enterprises, and you have to deal with this matter first......
Business operation, Xiao Yang wanted to ask Aman for advice, he stopped what he was doing and sat down again, "Then what do you say?" ”
Aman touched his big bald head and groaned, and only after a long time did he say: "Find a YDL company, buy Ansaldo as a wholly-owned company, and then sell part of the shares to Huaguo, in this way, the fastest and most likely to succeed......"
Wholly owned acquisition? Xiao Yang didn't understand the operation in the middle, and looked at him suspiciously.
"The bottom line between Ansaldo and the union is not to be controlled, but they don't care about the relationship with the current parent company, if it is a wholly-owned acquisition by YDL, they must have no opinion, as for the parent company, with their financial situation, it will not be too difficult to sell Ansaldo in its entirety, as long as the government or the union pushes a little, the acquisition will be completed in a very short time...... And then sell it to Huaguo enterprises through the new company......" Aman explained.
"And where will the money come from for this acquisition?" Xiao Yang thought about it for a while and found a problem.
Looking for a YDL company, it is easy to say, but although Ansaldo is not listed, it has been mentioned in the previous information that the market value is about one billion euros, and it is so easy to find a company with one billion cash to acquire Ansaldo?
"A billion euros?" Aman smiled and shook his head, "No. There is no shortage of funds on the Chinese side, you can let them advance a part of it, and the rest of the hundreds of millions, YDL can't make it up, you must know that Ansaldo is now profitable, once it cooperates with Chinese enterprises, opens the Asian market, develops greater, and maybe there will be some action in the financial market later, in this case, I think there should be no shortage of companies to take over......"
"How does that work? I'm not familiar with YDL companies. ”
Aman blinked, still smiling, "Unfamiliar? Don't you have a company you're familiar with, besides...... Just reveal the matter of Hydra to Daines, and I'm not afraid that he won't arrange it. ”
Fenmecanica? Xiao Yang wasn't sure they would have this idea, after all, Fenmecanica had been "streamlining the army" all these years, but Daines and Oman were right.
"I'll give Doyle a call to inquire, but I think it's very unlikely, after all, they've been streamlining their business all these years, and as for Daine, you're right...... There's really no need to worry too much about that. ”
Don't worry about it, but there are a lot of things to do in the middle, first call the country, saying that things have changed, and the way to acquire Ansaldo may have to change, so that the country can prepare the funds in place first, Xiao Yang contacted Doyle again and asked him if there was a possibility of Fenmecanica buying Ansaldo.
It's a pity that Doyle told him directly that it was impossible.
It's not that it's about money, it's that they don't want the business to be too extensive, and although Ansaldo's business scope is related to their company's business, they don't have the idea of getting involved in the marine industry, after all, they don't build ships.
With the previous expectations, Xiao Yang was not disappointed with this result, and then contacted Daines again.
Unlike the previous two calls, this call lasted a little longer, after all, things are a bit complicated, and if you really want to follow your own plan, it is not enough to reveal a little bit of things to Daines.
After all, Daines is not a fool, and it is impossible to follow his intentions based on his words alone.
There is a good saying, that is, Daines attaches absolute importance to Hydra-related matters, and when he heard that Ansaldo's matter may be related to Hydra, his first reaction was to immediately send someone to investigate.
Xiao Yang naturally couldn't let him spoil his own affairs, and hurriedly said: "You should be clear about the importance of Ansaldo's parent company, the previous incident of Fenmecanica has not completely subsided now, once this matter breaks out again, what do you think will be the consequences?" Another important question is that the Ansaldo and Fenmecanica things are different, the impact on the local economy of YDL is huge, and all of a sudden tens of thousands of people are unemployed, can you afford the consequences? ”
Dainston was in a cold sweat, just now he habitually felt that the matter was related to national security, and only then did he think that as he was dealing with the Fenmeca incident before, he didn't take into account the difference between the two things, Fenmeca only involved technology leakage, but this time it was different, once the matter was exposed, the world's top 500 companies had only one way to go bankrupt, and this company had tens of thousands of employees in the local area, and if these employees lost their jobs all of a sudden, how much impact would it bring?
"What do you think?" It's not that he has no choice, but he thinks it's better to listen to Xiao Yang's opinion.
"Me?" Xiao Yang pondered for a while, and decided to change the previous plan, so he said: "Solve the Ansaldo matter first, there are my personal interests in this, but it also involves the overall interests, you can't deny this, and then ......"
In ten minutes, he explained his plan in detail.
The whole introduction is detailed enough, and Daines is not the kind of person who sits in his current position by patting on the back, he has real ability, while listening, he thinks about the result of doing so, and when Xiao Yang finishes speaking, he almost has his own thoughts in his mind.
"I'll admit, your plan is good, and I'm not going to come up with a better plan in a short period of time, but you should know that it's a difficult choice for me and I need to think about it."
"Absolutely." If Daines agreed without any consideration, Xiao Yang would have wondered if there was something wrong with it, and when he heard the other party's words, he immediately agreed.
Putting down the phone, Xiao Yang didn't call Martin again for a new operation, originally he would let Martin start the operation after contacting Daines, but now that the plan has changed, naturally it can't be the same as before.
"It is up to man to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen."
He muttered, reassuring himself as he waited for Daines' decision.
…………
Things are as Daines himself said, this matter is really difficult for him to choose, if he agrees, he will have to bear a lot of pressure from the country, it can be said that in the future, he will officially become a grasshopper on a rope with Xiao Yang, but if he doesn't agree, he can fully imagine what kind of attitude Xiao Yang will use towards him in the future.
Two years ago, he would have chosen the former without hesitation, but now......
The more he knew about the Hydra organization, the more he knew how terrible it was, and the more powerful Xiao Yang's intelligence information was and how important they were in the alliance. Once he chooses the latter this time, the alliance will still be the alliance, and there will be no change, but maybe in some things, then he is likely to be the last to know.
For example, what would have been the outcome of the last Fenmecanica incident if we hadn't gotten the news in advance?
Add to that some information, what would the result be if you were one step slower, or even impossible, to get it?
One step behind others, that is, one step behind, Xiao Yang's advantage as their domestic security consultant is gone, what kind of situation will it be when the time comes?
Maybe in a certain scenario in the future, they YDL will get the least benefit, or suffer the most losses?
Thinking of this, he had an impulse in his heart that he should immediately agree to Xiao Yang's plan, but when he thought of the situation he was about to face, he hesitated.
People don't kill for themselves, this sentence is suitable for any race and any person.
Xiao Yang knew that it would be difficult for Daines to decide, but he didn't pay much attention to it, because he believed that things would come according to his own ideas, and instead turned his mind to the salesman sent from Bulgaria.
It is not surprising that Romania and Bulgaria are two countries that are adjacent to each other, and in the afternoon, Xiao Yang and Oman met with the Bulgarian salesman at the same time.
Each country's AK has certain characteristics, Bulgaria's AK, the characteristics are obvious, that is, they have used the forging casing until now, in the case of stamping casing in various countries, their approach is really unique, so, in today's market, as long as you see the forging casing AK, then you can be sure that this is Bulgarian goods.
The process of meeting is very simple, the same as before, look at the sample, then ask and answer, almost the same question, get the answer, and it's over.
"Is there anything you'd like to say?" Watching the Romanian salesman leave in a hurry like the previous Romanian salesman, Aman looked at Xiao Yang.
Xiao Yang shook his head slowly, but he still said: "In terms of details and workmanship, Bulgarian goods are a little better than Romanian's, but a good gun is more than that...... I think with the Afghan army's Wanguo brand AK, they don't count these things, in the end, it still depends on the price, for us, the low price is the good goods, and the rest can be considered less......"
It's plain enough, but it's also practical enough.
They don't care too much about the quality of the goods, this point, presumably the same is true for the people of the United States, the price is low enough, it is enough.
