Chapter 799: Down-and-Out Arrogance (2)

You can say that Bruce is greedy, but in no way can you deny his abilities.

Although it is not known how he managed to get involved in the negotiations between Geely and GM, these are enough to prove that he has considerable connections in GM.

Since this is the case, Wang Yu naturally wants to make the best use of people and come up with enough temptations to drive Bruce to help him do the work.

"Mr. Wang, you are the most negotiable Oriental merchant I have ever met."

Bruce praised Wang Yu with a smile on his face, and at the same time stretched out his hand to Wang Yu and said: "I can only say that I can do my best to do my job, GM reorganized after bankruptcy this year, the original president of Wagner resigned, and the new CEO is Fritz Henderson (Han Desheng), who intends to keep the Opel brand, so this matter is a bit difficult." ”

The implication may not be right, although it is not explicitly stated, but it can be seen that Bruce still hopes that Wang Yu can consider Volvo's acquisition negotiations.

Wang Yu offered such conditions, and Bruce still showed an uncertain expression, it seemed that the rumors he heard in his previous life were true.

With the development of the automobile industry to the present, European technology has continuously proved its leading position in the world, especially in China, which is currently becoming the world's largest market, and the advantages of European cars, or German cars, in technology and quality are beyond doubt.

When GM's performance in other parts of the world is wailing, GM has been shining with strong performance in recent years, Fritz Henderson (Han Desheng) has shined, but Opel is GM's bridgehead into Germany, once this bridgehead is lost, it is difficult to imagine how convincing GM will be to launch European technology models in the future.

It was in these circumstances that the new president, Fritz Henderson, opposed the sale of Opel.

In fact, the shadow of Opel can be seen on the new Regal and the new Grand Hyatt of GM in the magic capital, which is also one of the results of GM's retention of the Opel brand.

"Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven!"

Wang Yu said a proverb and said with a smile: "After all, GM needs to find the money to repay its debts before the end of the bankruptcy protection law, which is an excellent breakthrough, and Mr. Bruce should understand that the new president Fritz Henderson (Han Desheng) is not a one-man existence in GM."

Looking at Wang Yu's smile, Bruce also smiled: "I know what you mean. For those directors behind it, it is more important to save the present, who can see the future? ”

"So. Happy working together! ”

Bruce nodded: "Happy cooperation!" ”

After the two shook hands, Wang Yu explained to Guo Yuan: "Go back and immediately arrange for the following people to set up an investment company in Hong Kong, and use this company to sign an agency contract worth 5 million meters with Mr. Bruce first, and the content is to entrust Mr. Bruce to help the company comprehensively analyze the investment market in the United States."

Of course, it is impossible to give Bruce money directly, and it is impossible to use any of Wang Yu's current properties, and it is the best choice to use a shell company that has nothing to do with Wang Yu to complete this entrustment contract.

"Bruce, this is my little sincerity!"

This money is equivalent to Bruce helping Wang Yu complete the acquisition of Opel, and the price is at a price of more than 1.2 billion yuan.

Actually, Bruce hasn't started anything yet

So this kind of move suddenly made Bruce feel Wang Yu's wealth, and at the same time felt Wang Yu's determination.

"I'll go back and get up and running!"

Bruce said goodbye to Wang Yu in an extremely happy mood, and looking at the back of him leaving, Guo Yuan asked: "Boss, obviously Volvo is a brand that General Motors is willing to sell to the outside world, why do you choose Opel. Is it unwilling to compete with Geely? ”

"It has nothing to do with Geely, the main thing is that I have some ideas."

Wang Yu sat down again and explained to Guo Yuan: "If we mess up with Geely's acquisition, it is still a trivial matter to make a feud with Geely, the key is that I don't want to be put in the spotlight, you must know that Volvo's reputation in the Chinese market is still much higher than that of Opel." ”

"Is it because we're new to the industry?"

After listening to Wang Yu's explanation, Guo Yuan thoughtfully: "At least so far, Guoke New Energy does not have any foundation and precipitation for car making, and it is better to be low-key in the early stage on the road to developing new energy vehicles." ”

"At least there's a lot less pressure on your side."

Wang Yu's explanation continues: "Once the acquisition of Volvo, this information will definitely be hyped by the media to the boiling, then everyone's eyes will be all staring at Guoke New Energy, wait and see what the first car we produced after the acquisition of foreign brands will be like, once it is not as good as imagined, then the reputation of Guoke New Energy will plummet, and this loss will not be able to buy back how much." ”

If the acquired brand becomes Opel. In recent years, Opel's sales in China can be described as miserable, and the cars produced by the German quality and technology brands are disappointing after being acquired by the Chinese.

So how much effort and time does it take to smooth out this matter?

Who will ever believe that Guoke New Energy can build a good car?

This is the practical difficulty that Wang Yu considers, he is engaged in new energy vehicles is to take the route of obscene development, and now it is going to be exposed in the eyes of the media and the people who eat melons, Wang Yu feels that it is not good to take over a very hot potato, and when the time comes, he can't swallow it, and he is reluctant to lose it

He is willing to nest in the corner, slowly absorb and accumulate Opel's technology, experience and other useful things, and slowly build even if it is a car like Wuling Hongguang, there is no pressure without attention, and when the new energy battery technology reaches a breakthrough, it is not too late for the new energy vehicle to soar into the sky.

After listening to Wang Yu's statement, Guo Yuan finally fully understood his boss's thinking.

"Boss, I understand your thoughts, and I will definitely follow this line of thought in the future."

Guo Yuan said seriously to Wang Yu: "Silently accumulate strength, wait until the dawn of the new industry arrives, and realize corner overtaking!" ”

"Bruce will do his best to lobby GM directors to put pressure on Fritz Henderson and eventually negotiate our takeover with GM."

Wang Yu nodded in recognition of Guo Yuan's understanding, so he continued: "You and the newly formed negotiation team are ready to connect with GM at any time, and I will let Song Qing follow the development of the incident throughout the whole process, she studied finance, but I don't want her to take the path of investment."

"Are you interested in developing her skills in M&A negotiations?"

Guo Yuan immediately understood the meaning of Wang Yu's words: "Also, in the future, our group will only get bigger and bigger, and the business of mergers and acquisitions will definitely not be less. ”

In Guo Yuan's eyes, Song Qing jumped to Wang Yu's side halfway from Zhou Wuyang, so she asked such a question.

"I've known her since '03!"

Wang Yu smiled at Guo Yuan and said: "She sent me the information about Zhou Wuyang's change at the beginning, and she was part of the credit for solving the first crisis earlier. ”

"Huh?"

Guo Yuan, who knew about this for the first time, was stunned for a while, and only after a while did he widen his eyes and ask, "Boss, Song Qing is the business room you cultivated.?" ”

"How old was Song Qing when she was in '03?"

Wang Yu shook his head and didn't continue to explain, but said lightly: "You only need to know one thing, she is a trustworthy person!" ”

"yes, I see!"

Although Guo Yuan was curious to death, Wang Yu didn't say it, and she couldn't continue to ask.

While promising Wang Yu, he thought in his heart: If you go back and probe the wind from Song Qing, you may be able to understand the story inside.

Since she couldn't talk about Song Qing anymore, Guo Yuan began to care about the most important thing.

"Boss, if this acquisition can really be successfully completed"

"What do you want to say?"

Wang Yu held half a cigar in his hand, and looked at Guo Yuan with a smile while smoking.

"That's 1.2 billion yuan!"

Guo Yuan said with a slight worry: "Such a large amount of cash flow will be very difficult if it is transferred from the group, and you have a more important layout in the southwest, I am afraid that there will be funds."

"Are you worried?"

Wang Yu nodded through Guo Yuan's careful thoughts: "Didn't you just want to ask where President Bai went, and if there was any other income?" ”

Guo Yuan's face turned slightly red, and he had no choice but to nod under Wang Yu's gaze: "Boss, there is extra protection on President Bai's side, right?" ”

"Knowingly ask!"

"It's about me, and it's messy to care!"

Guo Yuan, a cold and abstinent department, is extremely rare to be coquettish in front of Wang Yu: "I was cautious just now for this reason, and I will admit how you punish me when you turn around!" ”

"Really?"

Wang Yu smiled undeniably, and then changed the topic: "While Bruce has not officially launched lobbying, I have visited London in the past two days, and the clothing cutting industry here is still good, and the British style is elegant, subtle, retro, and cold. It should suit you perfectly! ”

"Boss, I have a lot of preparation work in the past two days."

Guo Yuan was just about to shirk, and then he saw a hint of playfulness in Wang Yu's eyes.

I don't know why, being looked at like this, Guo Yuan's cheeks slowly turned red.

Putting aside her face and looking at the busy hotel lobby foyer, Guo Yuan nodded lightly: "I know, I've taken Sisi to go shopping in the past two days and customize a few clothes!" ”

"Remember to go to Savile Row."

Wang Yu pressed the cigar in his hand, stood up and explained before leaving.

Wang Yu, who had just walked out not far away, paused and waved at Chi Guocai and Mu Shaofeng, who were following him.

"Do you like to watch football?"

Chi Guocai shook his head, but Mu Shaofeng's eyes lit up, and he nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

Wang Yu smiled and instructed Mu Shaofeng: "Help me check if there are any Manchester United or Arsenal games in the past two days, if so, get a few tickets, let's watch the game live." ”

Since the subprime mortgage crisis in 08, the economic crisis that has spread from the United States to the world has been very stormy, and the European debt crisis that is now breaking out, the UK will not have a good time.

If you don't touch domestic football, you can still try the Premier League, and after playing for a few years, wait until Da Mao and the Middle East tyrants intervene, and change hands to make a lot of money!

Happy National Day!
