Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

The controversy over Nissan's report on Mitsubishi has not yet subsided, but Japan has begun to spread news about the possible merger of Renault and Nissan in a small area, causing a lot of dissatisfaction.

Let’s put it this way, the Renault-Nissan Alliance sold 8.52 million vehicles in 2015, of which Nissan sold 5.42 million vehicles, making it the second largest automobile company in Japan. Renault sold 2.8 million cars, and Russia's Volga sold about 300,000 cars. Their market share in Russia is close to one-third.

You see the problem. The Renault-Nissan alliance is still very solid in terms of equity relationships. However, automobiles are the world’s largest industry. They can drive the development of other domestic industries and have special significance. Therefore, many countries around the world have attached great importance to their own automobile industries. Make protection.

Besides, Japanese companies themselves are very exclusive. Various cross-shareholdings within chaebol groups collectively resist risks from the outside world. Renault was able to control Nissan because the company was about to die. But it is part of human nature to "share adversity but not wealth". Nissan is now very popular, and there is a saying internally that "Kill the Japanese and fatten the French."

Now the French court wants Renault to acquire Nissan or merge with Nissan. Judging from the equity relationship, it is the French court that wants to control Nissan. Who can bear it when a country's pillar industry is controlled by another country?

So later, the Special Investigation Department of the Japanese Procuratorate arrested Renault-Nissan CEO Ghosn, their current "hero", four times on suspicion of economic crimes.

Qu Li detonated the complex contradictions within Renault-Nissan in advance. Oh, it can only stir up a small spark, allowing some knowledgeable people in Japan to see the "terrible" consequences, and then form a unified understanding: Mitsubishi Motors must not let Acquisition by Renault.

Um! This is on the premise that there is a choice. Specifically, they have only one choice: what is their future? Does Qu Li still have this desire?

Of course there is, but the Mitsubishi Consortium doesn't know about it, so someone from the Mitsubishi Consortium and Mitsubishi Motors soon went to Yangcheng to meet with Qu Li to confirm his thoughts. At this time, no one had time to waste, so they started talking straight to the point.

"I just want to know how big the hole is behind it, and whether Mitsubishi Motors can get through it. If the Chinese car company Future Journey becomes the majority shareholder of Mitsubishi Motors, will the fines imposed by the Japanese court increase as a result..." Qu Li The image in the eyes of Japanese people is complicated. He has tricked Mitsubishi Motors many times and stepped on them time and time again to establish his own reputation. However, his cooperation with other Japanese companies has always had a good reputation.

To put it simply, regardless of its glory, future or time, Qu Li’s business reputation is very good around the world, and he is a trustworthy partner.

Qu Li expressed his concerns, Mitsubishi Motors CEO must find a way to resolve his concerns, and the Mitsubishi Consortium must make some commitments.

"Qiancheng Geometry's domestic fuel vehicles are selling very well, but I am still optimistic about pure electric vehicles, so our cooperation is mainly in fuel vehicles. To put it bluntly, I don't want to invest too much in the field of fuel vehicles, which will affect my subsequent business. Development..." After Qu Li received the promise, he had a candid and in-depth exchange with the CEO of Mitsubishi Motors, and at the same time expressed his recognition of Mitsubishi Motors.

When a new thing appears, not all peers can quickly reach a unified understanding. Before the Tesla model S appeared, electric vehicles were just a joke. What about now? 》

Qu Li and Musk continued to brag and explain their opinions on social media such as Twitter. They have a clear development direction for products and pure electric vehicles, and have received more and more recognition, triggering an entrepreneurial boom in the global pure electric vehicle industry. , but traditional car companies still have their own pride, even if Mitsubishi Motors ranks first in hybrid sales in the world.

He was not optimistic about pure electric vehicles, or was not as optimistic about pure electric vehicles as Qu Li was, but he could understand Qu Li's thoughts, and trust between the two parties was quickly established.

Once the cooperation goes smoothly, CMGE and Mitsubishi Motors will realize complementary advantages in resource sharing, technology exchange and market expansion on a global scale. For example, Mitsubishi Motors has strengthened cooperation on engines, Qiancheng Motors has shared the Fuyao 1.0 architecture or jointly developed new models, and technical cooperation in off-road vehicles are all details.

This shows that both the Mitsubishi Consortium and Mitsubishi Motors have basically recognized the advantages of CMOS in fuel vehicles, and their development capabilities and development efficiency are far superior to those of Mitsubishi Motors today.

The general direction of cooperation has been determined, and what remains is the internal governance of Mitsubishi Motors. If there are no voting rights and management rights, then Future Geometry will definitely not take a stake, and it is even less likely that Qu Li will use his credibility to endorse Mitsubishi Motors.

Yes, as long as Future Future takes a stake in Mitsubishi Motors, Qu Li, the world's richest man and the "God of Management" in the Japanese media, will become a "spokesperson" to a certain extent.

The CEO of Mitsubishi Motors had been in Yangcheng for a few days. At this time, the news that France wanted Renault-Nissan to complete the merger finally spread. Someone asked French Economy Minister Malone how to revitalize the French economy, "If Renault-Nissan merges, will it bring any impact on the French economy?" If it has a positive effect, would you consider merging the two car companies?"

Malone's answer was yes. The Japanese media went to interview him. Malone confirmed this idea, and the Japanese media broke out: "The French want to steal our wealth."

At this time, Nissan's "hero" Ghosn's credibility in Japan has been seriously affected, but his power base comes from Renault of France. What can he do? Can only complain. Then Malone changed his tune and said that the Renault-Nissan merger was still under consideration and that there was currently no timetable.

But these feeble words could not calm public opinion in Japan so quickly. The rumor that Renault-Nissan was going to acquire Mitsubishi Motors was also known by the media at this time.

While reporting and acquiring at the same time, Renault-Nissan's suspected stock market manipulation was brought up by the media. On the Internet, Nissan's "hero" became a despicable villain and a shameless thief.

Under the influence of public opinion, the Mitsubishi Consortium was greatly affected. After contacting other car companies to no avail, it finally agreed to Qu Li's request. In order to get rid of this trouble, it cooperated with the acquisition of Future Vision. If it is necessary to spin off the military vehicle business...

Future Geometry is not the most ideal choice for Mitsubishi Motors, but the stock price has plummeted, the impact of the fraud incident on consumer confidence, and the looming threat from Nissan behind the scenes, as well as unforeseen risks. Future Geometry is their only option other than Nissan at this time. s Choice.

Nissan's quotation for Mitsubishi Motors' 34% stake is 237.3 billion yen, which is about 14.2 billion yuan, and the price quoted by Future Geometry is 15 billion yuan. The Mitsubishi Group readily accepted it, but it still had to go through the board of directors and go through the process.

As for Qu Li, he also has to go through the process to prepare funds and get the route from the Hua Reform Commission. Fortunately, although the future is not profitable, it is not short of money. The biggest impact is on the relevant departments. If this acquisition is delayed for a long time, this acquisition There is a high probability that it will fail.

The thing is very simple. The market is now in a state of panic. If Qu Li's reputation is used to stabilize the stock price and confidence, Mitsubishi Motors will be able to sell out all the shortcomings and find that all problems can be tolerated. At that time, there will be no need for Mitsubishi Motors to sell to Chinese automobile companies.

So there was a time difference in the fight. Qu Li quickly flew to Beijin and contacted the leaders of the relevant departments. Fortunately, we had communicated with Mitsubishi in advance and we met soon.

"Aren't you afraid of such a big risk?" the leader

"Even if the 15 billion is a total loss, as long as I open the Japanese and Southeast Asian markets in advance, I can earn 10,000 yuan from a fuel vehicle and sell 150,000 vehicles a year. I can recover my capital in 10 years. I still have pure electric vehicles, so I can't lose money... "Qu Li is determined
