Chapter 146: Hunting Zeiss 2
All over the world, WCG competitions are in full swing.
As everyone knows, in the East German region, a shocking acquisition is brewing.
Rex Aiden got the support of Zhao Ye and made every effort to launch the East Zeiss acquisition plan, bribe what should be bribed, buy what should be bought, and don't be afraid to spend money.
At this time, East Germany was an important state in the Soviet sphere of influence.
Therefore, the United States is afraid that it is eager for the Wujiang Group to buy the East German company.
And the Soviet Union, at this moment, is too busy to take care of itself, the economy is collapsing, and there is a lack of light industrial products, the Wujiang Group has always been an important trader of the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union will not come forward to stop the Wujiang Group.
As for Donde, Rex Aiden has also been attacking for a long time.
With the right time and place, Wujiang Group officially launched a takeover offer to East Zeiss!
ZEISS East is currently quite large, with several plants all over the world.
However, East Zeiss's revenue is not high, and it has been losing money year after year, so the market value is assessed to be less than 500 million East German marks.
Wujiang Group is willing to acquire East Zeiss for 500 million East German marks.
The exchange rate between the East German mark and the renminbi is 1:5.
In other words, Wujiang Group acquired Zeiss for 2.5 billion yuan.
In the end, the exact amount depends on the outcome of the negotiations.
In fact, this is only the acquisition funds on the surface, and there is also a lot of funds for operating expenses behind it.
Rex Eden has already acquired a number of East Zeiss executives, and when Borderless launched the acquisition, a large number of Zeiss executives expressed their support.
"This morning, Wujiang Group officially launched an acquisition offer to East Zeiss, what do you think about this matter?" An East D official came to East Zeiss and announced.
Vernon Bernal, vice president of East Zeiss, immediately stood up at the all-hands meeting and said loudly: "I think we should accept the acquisition of Wujiang Group, East Zeiss has been losing money year after year, making ends meet, the living standards of workers are declining year by year, and the government will not always give blood to East Zeiss." In addition, with the rapid rise of Japanese manufacturers, they are already encroaching on the Zeiss lens and camera market. At the moment, East Zeiss can't save itself if he only relies on himself. ”
"The name of the Wujiang Group must be known to some people. If we can accept the acquisition of Wujiang Group, then Dongcai Sima Shang can obtain the investment of Wujiang Group, and then use these funds to develop and expand the company, update technology, and improve the competitiveness of products. ”
"Only when the competitiveness of products is improved can they be sold, only when factories can make money, and only then can the welfare of workers' brothers be improved......"
Vernon Bernal spoke eloquently and passionately, as if he was thinking about the workers of East Zeiss, but in fact, he secretly received 500,000 US dollars from Wujiang Group, so he worked so hard to say good things for Wujiang Group and persuade everyone to accept the acquisition of Wujiang Group.
As soon as his voice fell, another East Zeiss executive continued: "Vice President Vernon Bernal is right, East Zeiss is already in the mud, and only Borderless Group can save us!" Wujiang Group is one of the world's top 500 companies, with strong strength, and its game industry has dominated the game industry and has a very large cash flow. ”
"Moreover, Wujiang Microelectronics Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Wujiang Group, has a lithography machine business, and if East Zeiss becomes a subsidiary of Wujiang Group, then the fertilizer does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and the lens of the lithography machine is, of course, the first choice for our East Zeiss lens. Relying on this business alone, East Zeiss may be able to turn around its profits! ”
There is no doubt that this person also received money from the Borderless Group.
Corruption is the norm here.
It's strange if it's not corrupt.
Making money for yourself is the "right way"!
If it weren't for the merger of East and West, and the merger of East and West Zeiss would follow, then maybe East Zeiss would really go bankrupt and go bankrupt.
The workers in the factory were almost all moved.
The factory is always in arrears of wages, and they are about to run out of food, so they don't care about anything else, as long as they can improve their welfare benefits, they will support it.
……
A hotel in East D.
"Mr. Tim Dickens, this is a specialty from China, please accept it!" Rex Aiden smiled and handed him a black leather bag.
Tim Dickens wields a high level of influence in the East D government, enough to decide the question of East Zeiss' ownership.
East Germany is the younger brother of the Soviet Union, and it is conceivable that the current East Zeiss is a state-owned enterprise. If Tim Dickens crooked his mouth and objected to the acquisition of East Zeiss by the Borderless Group, then the acquisition of East Zeiss could be declared yellow.
Tim Dickens took the black leather bag, which was quite heavy, and when he opened it, he found that there were many gold bars inside.
"Thank you Mr. Rex Eden, I am very satisfied with this specialty from China, and I have no objection to your company's plan to acquire East Zeiss."
It's straightforward enough!
Rex Aiden smiled, he was such a person.
"Thank you, Mr. Tim Dickens, when the deed is done, I promise that there will be a souvenir!"
When Tim Dickens heard this, he couldn't help but smile, "Haha, your company is really polite, then I will lobby others later, and guarantee that you can successfully acquire East Zeiss!! ”
I didn't object to it before, but now I promise it.
Sure enough, no one can resist the charm of money!
……
Due to the close relationship between East and West Zeiss, the news of Wujiang Group's acquisition of East Zeiss also reached West Zeiss as soon as possible.
However, West Zeiss and East Zeiss were a pair of brothers and sisters in the 80s, and they were both overwhelmed by Japanese companies.
West Zeiss can't live anymore, so how can he still care about East Zeiss. Besides, you can't manage it if you want to.
At the moment, West Zeiss is also counting on relying on ASML to return some blood.
However, since the acquisition of ASML by Wujiang Group, ASML has been in a mess, and there has even been a serious situation of digging into its own corners.
Many powerful mathematicians, physicists, electronic engineers, etc. from ASML actually jumped to Wujiang Microelectronics.
I feel that Wujiang Microelectronics is his own son, and ASML picked it up~
ASML has actually become the cradle of sending talents to Boundless Microelectronics?
Philips, another major shareholder of ASML, certainly has some opinions on this, but it is a normal operation for employees to change jobs, and you can't allow people to change jobs. In this regard, Philips simply took the initiative to contact Wujiang Group and asked the other party if you would like to simply buy all the shares of ASML held by Philips......
For this kind of request, Wujiang Group is embarrassed to refuse.
However, considering that Philips is the majority shareholder of TSMC, in order for ASML to take TSMC's lithography machine orders in the future, it is still necessary to leave a part of the shares to Philips.
As a result, the Borderless Group acquired only 25% of ASML from Philips.
ASML will be listed sooner or later, and Wujiang Group will set up more overseas offshore companies, set up a few more layers of skins, turn the left hand to the right hand, and disperse the shares, so as to enjoy the dividends of the full support of Europe and the United States for the development of ASML.
