Chapter 2128 People always have weaknesses

When Lin Feng rushed to Oberkochen, Germany, and met the current president of Carl Zeiss, he realized that it was much more difficult to acquire Carl Zeiss than he had imagined. Currently, Carl Zeiss is in the field of optics and

It is in a leading position in the field of optoelectronics. Almost all fields related to optics are basically related to Carl Zeiss. Its profits are huge, far beyond Lin Feng's imagination. Faced with such a company that has no shortage of market and capital, acquisition,

Where to start?

Looking at the confused Carl Zeiss President Michael Hoffmann across from him, Lin Feng could only helplessly invite him to drink coffee, constantly thinking about what to do.

"Mr. Lin?" Hoffman was a little helpless. After receiving a call from Lin Feng and asking him to drink coffee, Hoffman put down his work and came to drink coffee with Lin Feng. In his opinion, Lin Feng is now

With today's status and status, there must be something important to find him out. But I never expected that I have been sitting here for two hours, except for chatting, and I have never entered the topic. It can't be possible, Lin Feng is really not far away, since

Fly to Germany from Shanghai and find yourself a cup of coffee.

Even if he had time to drink coffee, Lin Feng wouldn't have the time! But it was hard for Hoffman to say anything, and he didn't want to offend Lin Feng out of thin air. However, Hoffman didn't want to just sit here and waste time, so he had no choice but to

He stopped to look at his watch and secretly reminded Lin Feng to say something. Everyone's time is precious.

Lin Feng naturally noticed all these little tricks of Hoffman. To be honest, Lin Feng didn't want to waste time, but he really didn't know how to talk to Hoffman. He couldn't just say it -Hoffman,

I want to acquire your company, which has a leading position in the industry, is extremely profitable, and is the envy of everyone. Putting it this way, it’s strange that Hoffman doesn’t think of himself as an idiot.

"Well, Mr. Lin, I'm glad to have coffee with you today. But I have something to do at my company, so I have to leave now. I'll invite Mr. Lin to coffee next time." Hoffman stood up politely and said

Some words for the scene. But deep down in his heart, he secretly swore that if Lin Feng asked him to have coffee again, he would definitely not come if there was nothing serious to do. He couldn't afford to hurt someone who sat for two hours in vain.

When Lin Feng saw that Hoffman was about to leave, he had no choice but to send him out all the way. Seeing Hoffman leaving in a hurry, Lin Feng didn't know that Hoffman must be extremely fed up at the moment. Who would be so vain?

I still feel resentful after sitting there for two hours.

In desperation, Lin Feng called Abby Cohen and asked about how to acquire a company like Carl Zeiss. If there were any tips. After all, Abby Cohen is a Wall Street myth, and she has seen a lot in this regard.

wide.

"Lin, this is really difficult. Carl Zeiss does not lack money or technology. It can be said that he lacks everything you have. It is absolutely impossible to acquire Carl Zeiss. Unless Carl Zeiss encounters some natural disaster or man-made disaster

, or a major decision-making error. But even then, the German government and German banks will provide funds to help Carl Zeiss tide over the difficulties. It is impossible to make a normal acquisition! Moreover, Carl Zeiss is not listed, which also increases the difficulty of acquisition. Basically

From a practical point of view, acquiring Carl Zeiss is no less difficult than acquiring Microsoft." Abby Cohen analyzed calmly.

Lin Feng was stunned. If this were the case, wouldn't his trip to Germany be a waste of time?

"Lin, I think it's better to cooperate. It's easier to have Carl Zeiss help your Phantom Technology produce special cameras for mobile phones." Abby suggested. At least from Abby's point of view, she really

I don’t understand why Lin Feng insists on acquiring Carl Zeiss. Although Carl Zeiss is a company with very high added value, its current annual turnover is only more than 2 billion euros. This kind of money is not worth it.

.Then why did Lam Feng have to acquire it?

Indeed, the current annual turnover of Carl Zeiss is only more than 2 billion euros, but with the popularity of mobile phones, digital cameras, and digital video cameras, they have entered the homes of ordinary people. In the future, Carl Zeiss's profits will increase year by year. Of course,

This is not the reason why Lin Feng has to acquire Carl Zeiss. Lin Feng wants to acquire Carl Zeiss just for one thing - monopoly. In the future, all his mobile phones will use Carl Zeiss lenses, but his competitors will not be able to use Carl Zeiss lenses.

-Zeiss lenses, it will feel great and sales will be much higher.

The camera function of mobile phones is a big guarantee for future mobile phone sales!

"Lin, if you insist on an acquisition, the only advice I can offer is to save the country through curveballs. Carl Zeiss is wholly owned by the Carl Zeiss Foundation. If you really insist on an acquisition, you can only go to the Carl Zeiss Foundation.

After discussing it, maybe there will be an opportunity there." Abby Cohen made a suggestion without any hope.

"Well, I understand. Okay, go and do your work. By the way, keep an eye on Soros. This guy is too crazy. I'm afraid he won't know what to do when he gets crazy." Lin Feng nodded.

Abby Cohen shrugged. As for Soros, she could only try her best to keep an eye on him. As for whether she could keep an eye on him, she was not sure. This guy was no ordinary person. He was known as the number one financial sniper in history. How could she want to watch it?

She can keep an eye on him if he stays there. What's more, under the orders of Soros and Lin Feng, there is no need to give any explanation to her. It is almost impossible for her to keep an eye on Soros. She can only do her best.

Of course, Lin Feng said this and did his best. After all, the plan proposed by Soros is too tempting. Once successful, he will become a global creditor. It is exciting to think about it. Of course, Lin Feng also knows that there are risks involved.

It's also very big. If a businessman becomes a global creditor without support from anyone behind him, he will probably be killed immediately. Therefore, Lin Feng hopes that Soros will not go too far, but he is still looking forward to it. This is psychological.

Subtle changes that outsiders cannot understand.

The Carl Zeiss Foundation is a foundation that performs shareholder duties. It is the sole shareholder of SCHOTT GmbH in Mainz, Germany, and Carl Zeiss GmbH in Oberkochen. Its responsibility is to serve as the sole shareholder of SCHOTT GmbH in Mainz, Germany.

Co., Ltd. and Carl Zeiss AG, realize the management of the foundation's enterprises and support the foundation enterprises and their affiliated branches to fulfill their corporate social responsibilities. - These are Lin Feng's actions through "Baidu Yahoo"

"What you found.

Lin Feng had no acquaintances in Germany, so he could not obtain more detailed information through other means. However, Lin Feng was not a pedantic person. Since he could not obtain more information through the Internet, Lin Feng directly went to the Oberkochen City Hall for information.

I spent some money to find some old people who had lived in Oberkochen for a long time and were former employees of Carl Zeiss through the director of the museum, and learned more information.

Carl Zeiss made its fortune in 1846, but in 1945 due to World War II, it was forcibly split into two by the United States and the Soviet Union, becoming Zeiss East and Zeiss West. However, because of this, Carl Zeiss became famous in the Soviet Union and the Soviet Union.

Under the competition from the United States, technology has developed greatly. In the end, the merger of Germany brought about the merger of both parties, causing Carl Zeiss to become the overlord of the world's optical industry. And Sony, a layman in the optical industry, was able to become the leader in the digital camera market.

One of the bosses relies on the help of Carl Zeiss. (This is also one of the reasons why Lin Feng wants to acquire Carl Zeiss.)

Of course, the information that Lin Feng gained was not just this. It was more information about the Carl Zeiss Foundation. After Carl Zeiss passed away in 1888, he transferred the equity to his son Rodnik Zeiss according to his will.

Rodney was not good at management, so he transferred the equity to Abbe, a German optician at the time. Abbe then created the Carl Zeiss Foundation and attracted Scott. Only then did Carl Zeiss achieve its current glory.

After getting this information, Lin Feng felt a little confident. Although it was impossible to directly acquire Carl Zeiss, it would be difficult to acquire the shares of the Carl Zeiss Foundation from Abbe and Scott's descendants.

Much smaller. As for which descendants of Abbey and Scott will inherit the equity of the Carl Zeiss Foundation, it is not difficult for Lin Feng. Soon, after spending some money,

Then we found out the current holders of the shares of the Carl Zeiss Foundation.

Luther Abbey, Jena Abbey, Mocano Abbey, and Scott's two great-grandsons Byron Scott and Lucien Scott. Three of Abbey's great-grandsons own

Scott's two great-grandsons hold 30% of the shares. Obviously, as long as they take over 70% of the shares from Abbe's three great-grandsons, Carl Zeiss will be declared to be Lin Feng's company.

According to Lam Feng's investigation, the descendants of Abbey and Scott are not currently in charge of the Carl Zeiss Foundation. After discussion, the descendants of the two parties voluntarily withdrew from the management of the foundation and instead served as an honorary president.

, hired professional management talents from a headhunting company for management. This is the same as IBM's Watson family. After all, not every generation of descendants is qualified to manage the company. Rather than letting the descendants ruin the company, it is better to hire professional management talents to manage the company.

The company must be managed so that the company can grow healthily.

This is a family business management model in the West. It is very advanced and follows the laws of nature's elimination. But it also gives Lin Feng an opportunity. Lin Feng first approached Luther Abbey, one of the three brothers.

The eldest brother is also the person with the most equity, holding 25% of the equity. As for the reason for approaching, it is simple.

Greed! Taking advantage of the common human greed, Lin Feng went directly to Luther.

"This is a check for US$2 billion. If you sell me 25% of your Carl Zeiss shares, this check will be yours." Lin Feng smiled and handed over a check.
