Chapter 803: Down-and-Out Arrogance (6)
Although the team was formed in advance, everyone from Wang Yu to Guo Yuan saw this acquisition as simple.
This also exposes the bottleneck that Wang Yu is facing now, he used too many "own people" in the early stage, and relied on the massive amount of money collected from the overseas financial market to build a business kingdom by virtue of the poor information of rebirth.
This commercial kingdom can still call for wind and rain in the current country, but once it is released to travel the international market, it will immediately show its immature side.
To put it mildly, the existing organizational structure and equity model of Engine Technology are simply naΓ―ve and ridiculous in the eyes of those professionals in the Omega market.
This Opel acquisition will encounter more problems in the future, which will expose many flaws in Wang Yu's construction system.
It's a bad thing, but it's also a good thing!
In the next few years, Wang Yu may no longer do detailed management, he will focus on checking and filling in the gaps, especially when it comes to the shortcomings of the system.
Of course, this is a later story, the current Wang Yu only faintly feels the need for this aspect, and is not in a hurry to the point where he must change immediately.
"What are the two conditions on Opel's side?"
The call continued, and after talking about the three conditions of GM headquarters, Wang Yu asked about the content of the two conditions proposed by Oubao.
"First of all, there is the security aspect."
Guo Yuan responded: "Opel believes that even if this acquisition is reached, there should be no large-scale layoffs and salary cuts on the German side, and this must be included in the negotiation content and signed into the agreement." β
Wang Yu was not surprised to hear this, and at the same time he also had a headache.
You must know that Omi's worker welfare system is quite high, even if it is high, the key is that the efficiency of their work and Huaxia are completely different concepts.
Reborn in the memory of the previous life, Fuyao Glass, TSMC and other companies that went to Mi to build factories did not cause problems for this reason?
In the early years, Omi enterprises still had technology monopolies, which could generate excess profits to support this system, but with the rise of China's manufacturing industry, many technology monopolies no longer existed, and the prices of some industrial products were hit to the floor, and excess profits no longer existed, so their system naturally could not be supported.
This is also one of the reasons why the Omi industry has shifted to Asia, especially to the extent that the industry has been hollowed out.
Taking shipbuilding as an example, in the 80s, there were more than 80 orders for the shipbuilding industry every year, but after entering the 90s, in addition to military orders, civilian orders dropped directly to 0.
So in the years before Wang Yu's rebirth, two-thirds of the world's civilian ship orders were all occupied by Huaxia Manufacturing.
The point is that the domestic shipbuilding industry is incredibly low in profits, and the only remaining shipyards in the United States produce military ships with sky-high bills.
In terms of the wage standard of shipbuilders in the United States, which Chinese shipbuilding enterprise dares to invest in the construction of factories in the United States?
The upper echelons of Opel also understand this truth, they are not worried about the R&D center, the key is the production center, they are afraid that the acquirer from Huaxia is not willing to bear the biggest burden of the existing headquarters, and directly relocate the production center to Huaxia, where the cost is much cheaper than Germany.
"What about the second point?"
did not discuss this in detail with Guo Yuan on the phone, after all, the formal negotiations had not yet begun, and Wang Yu had no intention of impressing the Opel headquarters.
"The second point relates to the management side."
Guo Yuan's voice became quieter and quieter: "Opel raised cultural differences, believing that even if the acquisition is reached, it is not appropriate to place too many senior Oriental management personnel in the German headquarters."
The reason why the voice is getting smaller and smaller is because Guo Yuan also feels that this article is too much.
The companies have been acquired by you, and I am not allowed to manage too much of you, how can there be such a reason in this world?
To say something irresponsible: labor and management are rich and capricious, and they are willing to go bankrupt if they play the company, and they have a woolen relationship with you?
Many people may have this concern in the current era, but for Wang Yu, who has been reborn in 2023, this is really not a big problem, because as China has become the world's second largest economy, more and more cross-border acquisitions have occurred, and this cultural difference concern is no longer so serious.
"It's not a big deal, you shouldn't worry too much."
Wang Yu in turn comforted Guo Yuan: "I will join in the formal negotiations and communicate with Opel on this issue."
With Wang Yu's words, Guo Yuan felt a lot more relieved, and gradually raised her voice to continue to report other miscellaneous things.
Wang Yu, who had no distractions, held his mobile phone and paced while talking, gradually moving away from his original position.
Song Qiuyun looked at Wang Yu, who was walking back and forth in the distance, and felt that his call would not end for a while, so he said to Bai Jieru: "Mr. Bai, your new assistant Milai is good?" β
Bai Jieru's gaze was originally on Wang Yu, but she withdrew her gaze after hearing Song Qiuyun's question.
"A very spiritual little girl."
"You know that's not what I'm talking about."
"You mean that he doesn't look worse than your Director Qin?"
Bai Jieru smiled meaningfully, and said to Song Qiuyun: "The skin is much better-looking, and I have seen a few more beautiful than Qin Shiyu and Mi Lai. Everyone has their own fate, and not everyone can become Qin Shiyu. β
Speaking of Qin Shiyu, Bai Jieru couldn't help but sigh, with a look of envy on her face: "Your Director Qin has a vicious eye, and he followed the right person early, and now I haven't landed even if I go ashore."
Song Qiuyun nodded: "I saw Mr. Bai in the distance just now, it is only a matter of time before you go ashore." β
"Lend you good words!"
Bai Jieru didn't know Song Qiuyun's thoughts, glanced at her and said, "Don't worry, Mi Lai can't turn over the palm of my hand." β
Song Qiuyun responded to Bai Jieru without humility: "Whether it is the eldest lady or the second lady, or Mr. Bai and Mr. Dong of HK, Mr. Zhang of the southwest, and Mr. Wu of the capital. The existing architecture is stable. As you said, beautiful is beautiful, and fate is fate! β
Bai Jieru did not continue to respond to Song Qiuyun, first, she knew that this woman was following Wang Yu without desire, and secondly, she had already seen Wang Yu put away her mobile phone.
Ending the call with Guo Yuan, Wang Yu frowned and returned to Bai Jieru's side.
"What, things aren't going well?"
"The first contact is nothing more than a posture between the two sides, and it doesn't matter if it goes well or not."
Wang Yu rubbed his temples and said, "It's just that Guo Yuan suddenly found that the whole thing is complicated, and many of the previous plans have to be reversed and restarted. I also have a lot of work to do this time back, and the focus now is not whether it is difficult or not, but complicated! β
"Normally, there is no such large-scale multinational commercial acquisition activity that is not complicated, and there are cases that have been talked about for a few years or more than ten years, where are you here?"
Bai Jieru looked like a person who had come over: "Just think of it as a drill, your company will have to go through more similar business acquisitions in the future, and it would be good to have this experience." β
"Don't be lazy."
Wang Yu smiled and said to Bai Jieru: "I want to talk to the Modu government when I go back this time, they are likely to have a request for shares, and then the entire project financing will be handed over to Yonghua to do, and you will be responsible for this team." β
Bai Jieru showed a wry smile on her face: "Master, if there is state-owned capital as a shareholder, do you think that part of the funds will still be taken by Yonghua?" β
"I know, it's either Pudong Development or the Big Four Banks!"
Wang Yu pouted and said: "Even if the state-owned assets come in, it is only a part, and the other big head does not have to be financed from your Yonghua and you are familiar with the banking system, if this kind of coordination work is not handed over to you, who else can it be handed over?" β
Speaking of this, Wang Yu smacked his lips and said: "Speaking of coordination, it seems that this money is really going to make some money for Goldman Sachs. Did this guy Bruce expect me to go to him again? β
Hearing Wang Yu's resentment, Bai Jieru giggled.
"Master, you're starting to feel like you're lacking professionals now, aren't you?"
Listening to Bai Jieru's words, the corners of Wang Yu's mouth twitched, and he said after a long time: "It's not for you, I really want to start introducing a large number of professional management personnel now, and many of you will be set aside."
This is a fact, whether it is Dong Xuan or Zhang Jingyan, Qin Shiyu, Guo Yuan, or even Wu Ziyi and others, with their current control ability, if it weren't for Wang Yu to support them behind their backs, even if they didn't introduce too many professional managers now, they would be able to support them enough.
From Bai Jieru's point of view, it will take at least three or five years for Qin Shiyu, Guo Yuan, Wu Ziyi and other talents to grow up.
At that time, both ability and qualifications are enough, and Wang Yu will introduce high-end professional managers to assist, so that they can be calm.
Thinking of this, Bai Jieru couldn't help but feel sorry for Wang Yulai.
"Sir, you're too"
It means this, the words were not said after all, after all, Wang Yu's heart of affection is a good thing for the women around him.
In Bai Jieru's view, now many women around Wang Yu are no longer a simple dependency relationship with him, and this little man has built a big platform for many people, including himself, to display their talents, dreams, and ambitions.
Thinking back to Song Qiuyun's words just now, the typical vested interest group does not want to share the cake anymore.
In this regard, Bai Jieru is also a member of this group, and Song Qiuyun should be on the same line.
"That's great for you, isn't it?"
Wang Yu smiled: "Who let me only give this to you?" β
As he spoke, he walked towards the villa; "Guo Yuan directly led the team back to the magic capital in the past two days, you have to stay here for a while, you have to pay more attention to the acquisition of the West Ham club, don't be afraid to spend money on this wave of publicity, the bigger the trouble, the better"
"Master, are you going back to the magic capital?"
Bai Jieru grabbed Wang Yu's arm again: "The result of West Ham's acquisition will not be available until January next year, you won't leave me alone in London, right?" β
"If there is any hope, I will still be involved in the final negotiations."
Wang Yu comforted Bai Jieru and said: "And I have to talk to Bruce once in the past two days, and the acquisition of Opel will eventually have to ask Goldman Sachs to intervene, and this money can't be saved."
"Once the acquisition is completed, the next step is tomorrow's mineral layout in Brazil."
Bai Jieru knew some of Wang Yu's plans, and discussed while walking: "Once the layout of the new energy industry is completed, the next few years will be a lot easier, right?" β
"Well, the layout of several large industries is basically nearing completion, and the next thing is to tinker."
Wang Yu thought about it and said, "There won't be any big moves in the next few years, let's practice internal skills quietly." β
"I have a hunch."
Bai Jieru's eyes flickered: "In the next few years, you may not need to pay too much attention to the country, but the market in Southeast Asia will consume a lot of your time and energy." β
"That's hard to say."
After walking into the villa, Song Qiuyun took the initiative to help Wang Yu take off his coat; "Boss, the Amex cards you explained last time have all been completed, should you just let Wen Jing transfer them?"
"Just let Wen Jing hand it over, I can't get out of London recently, I'll give it one by one. I don't know how long it will take. β
"What Express?"
On the side, Bai Jieru was handing the coat to Mi Lai, and when she heard the conversation between Wang Yu and Song Qiuyun, she asked with a curious smile, "Do you have my share?" β
"A few days ago, Director Guo went to Savile Row to buy clothes."
Song Qiuyun held Wang Yu's long coat in his hand, casually explained the events of that day, and then said: "The boss thinks this matter is too embarrassing, so he asked Wen Jing to apply for a batch of American Express cards, and 2 million meters of yuan are pre-stored in each card, which is convenient for everyone to use when they go abroad, because the time for processing is exactly the end of December, so in the future, it will be paid once at the end of December every year, no matter how much is used, it will be filled up to 2 million." β
"Sir, is this a living allowance?"
Bai Jieru began to tease Wang Yu again, of course, she didn't fall behind in her actions, and turned around and hugged Wang Yu's neck and gave a hot kiss.
"Then I'm going to have a good look around London these days, and I was thinking about buying some things a few days ago, but I was distressed when I saw the price, and now I can enjoy it."
"Tsk, my money bag is in your hand, and you are still short of money?"
"My personal annual salary is only 3 million local currency, okay?"
Bai Jieru pouted and said: "It's only less than 400,000 yuan in rice yuan, and if it is placed in a gold cave like London, it will be gone before it is tossed."
"You don't know how to throw some money into Luo Qianqian?"
Wang Yu despised Bai Jieru: "I don't know if she can help you make money?" β
"Is she raising me or are you raising me?"
Bai Jieru blinked and looked at Wang Yu: "You have thought about it!" β
"Huh."
Wang Yu has always been disdainful of Bai Jieru's provocation.
In the face of disdain, Bai Jieru pursed her mouth, who made Luo Qianqian not give up?
"I'm going shopping!"
Thinking that she would immediately have an extra 2 million meters of "pocket money" per year, Bai Jieru's mood instantly improved, she leaned over the back of the sofa, and whispered in Wang Yu's ear: "I saw Guo Yuan's clothes a few days ago, master, I didn't expect you to be very interested in British-style clothing?" β
Wang Yu turned his head to look at Bai Jieru: "Guo Yuan's own temperament is in line with the cold British retro style, what style do you have in your heart?" β
Bai Jieru was stunned for a moment, and then pouted: "Master, if you want to say that, I understand, isn't it the style of a Victorian lady."
After speaking, he stood up and greeted Milai: "Let's go, go shopping with me." β
Milley had just helped her hang up her coat and was about to go out again
"Tsk, I found that your style is a bit similar to Guo Yuan?"
Bai Jieru touched her chin and said to Milai: "Go back and help you try two bodies"
