Rebirth of the World’s Richest Man

Chapter 2944 The Big Dog

 After Luo Kang left, Jiang Xiaobai called Zhang Weiyi and asked Zhang Weiyi about the current progress of the negotiations. He had promised Luo Kang to postpone it for up to half a month.

  In other words, the progress of negotiations with Ford Motor will be completed within half a month.

 “Dr. Jiang.”

“Lao Zhang, how is the negotiation going?” Jiang Xiaobai asked with a smile: “It should be over soon, we have been talking for such a long time.

I have some good news for you. Someone from the Luo family came over just now to inform us that the handover from Luofu Automobile has been completed.

The contract can be signed and transferred to us at any time. The interest-free loan of more than 400 million U.S. dollars that Luofu Auto owes to BMW has been fully repaid, and the loss of more than 200 million pounds on the book has also been fully repaid.

At present, Luofu Automobile is a clean company that owns the two brands of Luofu and MG. If we are willing, we can take it in our hands at any time.

But I am thinking that your negotiation is about to end, and it will be time for both parties to announce the news together.

The Luo family also agreed to postpone it for half a month, half a month should be enough..."

Jiang Xiaobai was also very excited to win Luofu Automobile. Huahai Automobile's earliest foundation was the merger and acquisition of two automobile factories in the north, namely Volga Automobile Factory and Khachev Automobile Factory.

 After the completion of this merger, although Huahai Automobile can gain a firm foothold in the north, its sales volume can only be considered satisfactory in the country in the north, but its global sales volume is not ideal.

Needless to say, compared with German cars, Japanese cars, American cars, etc., even compared with some second-rate international brands, it is still inferior.

 As for the domestic Huahai Automobile, although it is a joint venture in name, it is actually a domestic branch of Huahai, and the sales volume of this car is not so ideal.

 Jiangxiaobai is defined as a mid- to high-end sedan. At the very least, Huahai Automobile cannot fall directly into the ranks of low-end cars, such as Geely and Xiali. However, in the competition between mid-to-high-end cars and Santana, Huahai Automobile is not too competitive. Strong.

 This is something that cannot be changed. Brands need to be cultivated. For example, ABB, these three car brands, all have histories. It does not mean that just by establishing a brand, you can gain popularity.

When domestic products compete with foreign brands, they basically lack brand competitiveness. Although Luofu Motors is not what it used to be, it is still a century-old automobile factory. Whether it is the Luofu brand or the MG brand, these are global brands. famous.

  What's more, Land Rover and the like have been around for more than a hundred years. A century-old automobile factory has a brand reputation that is enviable.

Unfortunately, while Jiang Xiaobai was talking enthusiastically, Zhang Weiyi was hesitating on the phone.

"No, what's wrong with you? Why don't you speak."

 “Director Jiang, things have changed.” Zhang Weiyi said with some embarrassment.

Jiang Xiaobai suddenly frowned: "What's going on? Didn't we have a good negotiation before? Didn't we say that we can win it for about one billion US dollars? Weren't we almost there?"

Although Jiang Xiaobai said that he would not negotiate in person and left all the matters to Zhang Weiyi, Zhang Weiyi would call back and report on the progress of the negotiations every day.

 Jiang Xiaobai also knew the progress of the negotiations clearly.

 Ford Motors wants US$1.2 billion, and Jiang Xiaobai certainly doesn't want to give it that price. Of course, Jiang Xiaobai can also understand the feelings of Ford Motor Company.

 A few years ago, it was acquired for 3 billion euros, equivalent to 3.9 billion U.S. dollars. Over the past few years, it can now only be sold for more than 1 billion U.S. dollars.

This is equivalent to a direct loss of more than 2 billion U.S. dollars, and Ford Motor Company is certainly not willing to accept it. But the current Land Rover series of cars are only worth this price, and they are basically always losing money in your hands. It's a good thing to be able to deal with it.

So no matter how unwilling he is, Ford can only accept it. He just wants to get more money and reduce losses.

However, the price negotiated by the two parties is slowly approaching.

Speaking of which, this Luofu car is really good enough. In the hands of BMW, it caused BMW a lot of trouble, not to mention losses, and also delayed the development of BMW itself. The BMW X5, which should have been launched long ago, is It was postponed abruptly.

 This changed hands to Ford, causing Ford to suffer such a huge loss.

Of course, whether it is BMW or Ford, they are both big companies, and they can still afford to lose this little money.

 It’s just that no one can bear such losses.

“Dr. Jiang, during today’s negotiation process, Ford Motor proposed a new plan, which is to package it with Jaguar for us at a price of US$7.7 billion.

In addition, if we are willing to take it, Aston Martin also wants to transfer one of their sports cars to them, as well as Volvo..."

 As Zhang Weiyi spoke, Jiang Xiaobai’s face turned dark.

"Made, what do you mean by Ford? Who do you think we are? Our Huaqing Holdings Group is also a Fortune 500 company in the world, and we are not rag pickers. They want to throw everything they don't want to us." Jiang Xiaobai was furious. asked.

"Okay, you wait until I go over and talk to them in person."

Jiang Xiaobai didn't even explain, and hung up the phone directly. Although his tone of voice was angry, after hanging up the phone, Jiang Xiaobai felt happy.

 Ford, a giant company, really has something on its hands.

 Land Rover, Volvo, Jaguar, Aston Martin.

This car ranges from sedans, to off-road vehicles, to sports cars, it is all-round, and these brands will be well-known in later generations.

 As a result, Ford now wants to package and sell it.

Then if Jiang Xiaobai can't take advantage of this time to take what he can get, he would be sorry for himself as a reborn person.

 After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xiaobai called Zhang Tingting over directly.

“In this case, please notify the investment company and ask Hu Jinshan, Zhang Jun and others from the investment company to come and see me immediately.” Jiang Xiaobai ordered.

Zhang Tingting nodded. Seeing that Jiang Xiaobai's expression was serious, she didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she immediately ran over to inform him.

 Hu Jinshan and Zhang Jun happened to be in Shanghai. It was not just a coincidence, but when they were preparing to deal with the Luo family, they called the heads of these companies over just in case anything went wrong.

 That’s why we can all be in Shanghai without any business trips.
