Before Volkswagen experienced an "emission gate" crisis, the idea was impossible. But now Volkswagen is a bit inconvenient for itself. The huge fines from the United States may make its group unable to recover; Meng Qian is still squeezing the throat of new energy. If two big moves are released, Volkswagen will be unable to bear it.

After comprehensive consideration of this accidental idea, Meng Qian became interested in him. He used to be busy spending money and rarely had any real interest. VR may be counted, but the current automobile industry can also count. In his eyes, electric vehicles have a good prospect.

In addition, if you buy Audi, you can take Lamborghini away. Although he loves Ferrari more, Fiat (Ferrari parent company) has no financial crisis and will not let go of the money tree easily. Lamborg is also a well-known supercar brand and one of the "two kings" in Italy.

Should I buy it or not?

From the perspective of economic benefits, Wang Manwen's answer is "No". No matter how much Audi makes money, it is not as profitable as any company he owns.

But from the perspective of interest, all economic benefits and rigorous considerations of profit margins are secondary. Wang Manwen said: "If you like it, just do it."

Meng Qian couldn't deceive himself: "I like it."

"I will sort out the financial, valuation status of all companies, and combine the financial aid I can get." Wang Manwen knew his determination and implemented it for him.

"I'll take responsibility for the relationship between the consortium." Meng Qian did not throw everything to her.

Meng Qian wants to buy Audi Group now, but the money is definitely not enough. He doesn’t have that much cash. What Volkswagen needs most is not shares, but cash or short-term cashable tickets.

There is no listed company under his name. The stock trading method fails, so the only thing that can be found from the bank. What the consortium lacks is its strong financial capabilities. Many banks can mobilize it and then exchange it with the shares of his company to guarantee the future. It is not impossible.

He first contacted Tiger Stone, who had a rough understanding of the latter. He also wanted to ask him: "You can come to Malibu, and there are some things that are best to interview."

"Okay, I will go there." Meng Qian agreed and took Wang Manwen to the meeting.

She is now the boss who is the only one. Of course, she can, and even participate in such occasions on his behalf, and Meng Qian brought her with her without hesitation. There are advantages and disadvantages.

The plane arrived at Santa Monica, then took a helicopter to Malibu, and finally took a bus up the mountain. It was welcomed by Stone's family.

"I'm very happy to see you all." Meng Qian hugged them one by one, performed fraternity etiquette, and finally came to a white lady dressed in formal clothes.

Tiger introduces the blonde woman: "Amanda, my sister."

"I've been retiring for a long time, Mr. Meng." Amanda spoke Chinese to him. Although the pronunciation... typical foreigners speak Chinese, this is a kind of respect.

"Thank you." Meng Qian and her were the same etiquette of embracing each other.

After the greetings at the door, everyone entered the room. Meng Qian, who was sitting down, glanced at Tiger, Victor, Amanda, and the main members of the Stone family. Almost all arrived.

"What's so important?" Meng Qian asked them.

"About security and privacy." The oldest Tiger Stone spoke first, "You should know about the 'prism door' and related things in the United States, right?"

"Of course, it also led me to always use encrypted phones when talking about business." Meng Qian said that he does not use Apple or Samsung, but is customized mobile phones, which are anti-eavesdropping and encrypted calls, and is welcomed by many business people and even government officials.

Tiger continued: "I know your protection in this regard, but it is not enough, especially after you transfer stem cell research to the UK, as well as your current wealth and industry influence, are destined to have commercial and political attention."

Meng Qian understood that talking about "focus" is a decent statement. If he doesn't say it well, he will target commercial spies and state spies. Pay attention to his every move.

Tiger said: "This is an act that has always existed and will continue in the future. Any country will establish an intelligence database for people with huge influence."

"How to solve it?" Meng Qian asked them.

Amanda spoke at this time: "There is currently evidence that there is a small amount of gentle observations on you, focusing on your core technology and external cooperation."

Meng Qian and Wang Manwen both looked at her. Tiger nodded: "She is professional."

Amanda spoke in a British accent: "For the privacy protection of important members of the Brotherhood, he should raise his level of vigilance to prevent commercial and political leaks."

Amanda looked at Victor Stone: "I suggest that senior staff adopt internal security strategies, from calls, business to life and travel details."

Victor nodded: "We specialize in providing professional counter-espionage bodyguards to important people, recommend and develop confidentiality technology, update regularly at a certain time, and replace..."

They discussed a lot about security, privacy and expanding cooperation between brotherhood, and Meng Qian also learned from professionals that something will exist now and in the future.

The focus of the communication is also a commercial espionage act that Meng Qian himself intends to prevent.

Because Brotherhoods often have a wide range of business and have a significant impact on economic cooperation, competitors must be willing to steal secrets from all aspects.

This is the main purpose of their meeting this time. But there is another deep meaning: what the fraternity needs to do, it may be paid attention to by government agencies and confidentiality work will be obtained.

After talking about security protection issues, Meng Qian cast a vote of agreement. The Brotherhood will use part of its funds in the future to form a privacy protection department, which will be responsible for Heiqi International, covering the security of equipment and personnel, and its business will span Europe and the United States.

That means that as a VIP member of the Brotherhood, Meng Qian can use Heiqian's high-end security services faster and better, counter-espionage, personal security protection, one-stop... in the future, it will develop into Asia.

Meng Qian agrees with privacy protection very much. He does not want his business information to be leaked, nor does he want his private information to be stolen by some people with ulterior motives, especially since he is standing very high now.

After the discussion was over, Meng Qian talked about his story: "I am interested in investing in the automobile industry recently and am optimistic about the future development of the electric vehicle field."

"Invest in Audi?" Erica obviously understood it.

Meng Qian nodded: "Volkswagen is facing a financial crisis recently. Audi may be an opportunity to leave the market. In addition, I have the strategic weapon of new energy, and the chance of success will be greater."

"You will need a lot of cash." Tiger said that acquiring such a large group is not only a long political approval, but also a complex preparation for funds.

"So I want to use the power of the consortium and even the Brotherhood." Meng Qian also expressed his idea, "I can give up some of the shares and strengthen cooperation in exchange for monetization funds, and get help from the members of the Brotherhood in the acquisition."

"The main focus is on Fuguo Dynamics." Wang Manwen added to him that this is a company that is destined to decline in the future, and it is more suitable to use it now.

"This requires a comprehensive strategy." Erica considered, "You can use many advantages, and the relationships in Europe can also be used."

Meng Qian knew that the Brotherhood would provide great help to his acquisition plan. If he had a consortium relationship in the United States alone, it would be a bit out of reach.

After discussing the advantages Meng Qian has, Erica believes that the appropriate acquisition price is between 32 billion and 36 billion euros, in exchange for about 51%-60% of the Audi Group's shares.
