On the eve of the referendum election, US Secretary of Commerce Carlos Guterres found Lin Feng...

"Mr. Lin, regarding this acquisition, based on various considerations, in principle we can agree to this acquisition, but I need Mr. Lin to give me several guarantees, and these guarantees will be written in the acquisition contract!"

Carlos Guterres looked at Lin Feng and put his hands together.

Lin Feng smiled and motioned to Carlos Guterres to tell him the conditions. For this acquisition, Lin Feng naturally hopes to succeed, and also hopes to reach a memorandum of understanding with the Ministry of Commerce. Otherwise, even if the referendum is passed, there will be a Ministry of Commerce

The constant fussing behind the scenes is also annoying. If it is not necessary, Lin Feng is not willing to go against the US Department of Commerce. After all, this is the United States.

"Mr. Lin, I believe you know more about Chrysler than I do, so I won't say anything more. I just want to say that after all, Chrysler is the second largest automobile manufacturing company in the United States, employing more than 200,000 employees, including

The vast majority of them work in Detroit. So I hope there won't be any layoffs after the acquisition," Carlos Guterres said.

Since this acquisition is unavoidable, Carlos Guterres must try his best to gain enough political chips for himself. That's why he came to Lin Feng for negotiations. The Ministry of Commerce agreed to Lin Feng's acquisition of Chrysler.

However, some conditions were also put forward to prove the Ministry of Commerce's actions in this matter. The first thing is to prevent Lin Feng from laying off employees. For large-scale acquisitions like this in the past, especially for companies with extremely difficult operating conditions, once

After being acquired, the first thing the new employer does is to lay off employees. This has become a common practice and is understandable.

But Carlos did not let Lin Feng lay off employees. In this way, publicity to the outside world can greatly enhance the image of the Ministry of Commerce and his influence in the political arena. At 53 years old, he is still an age with great potential.

No layoffs allowed? Lin Feng pouted.

"Yes, I can promise this, but those workers must accept the request for a salary cut. The monthly salary of 4,000 is too high compared to the current sluggish automobile manufacturing industry." Lin Feng said loudly, "Without a salary cut,

I can only choose to lay off employees! After all, we acquired Chrysler not to see it continue to sink, but to hope that it can regain its glory."

Carlos Guterres thought for a while and nodded in agreement. If there is no salary cut, no one can bear it. The monthly salary of US$4,000 does not include year-end dividends, annual vacations, and salary increases to varying degrees every year and other benefits.

Salary. If all is calculated, Detroit's auto workers are really happy. But this happiness is also the source of disaster for Detroit's auto industry today. The auto industry is in recession, but workers' wages remain high. This situation has reduced

Salaries are unavoidable. For Carlos, as long as there are no layoffs, it is his victory.

"Second, after the acquisition, I hope to continue to retain the Chrysler name, and I don't want Chrysler to become a thing of the past and a piece of history." Carlos made his second request.

Lin Feng had no objection to this point. Chrysler is an old brand that has been around for the past seventy or eighty years and enjoys a high reputation around the world. Although it is no longer in glory, its brand appeal and influence are compared to 'Dragon Motors'.

But it is far superior. Therefore, Lin Feng will naturally not dig his own grave. Keeping the Chrysler name is the most reasonable thing.

"The third point is that I hope to add a clause in the contract, that is, Chrysler shareholders will have the right to repurchase Chrysler at the original price in the future." Carlos put forward the last condition, which is also the most demanding condition.

Lin Feng was stunned after hearing this. This condition can be said to be quite unreasonable. Only someone with a broken brain can propose such a condition. He has the right to buy back Chrysler at the original price. What kind of bullshit terms is this? It is now the lowest point for Chrysler.

time, that’s why Daimler-Benz agreed to sell all ownership of Chrysler to Lin Feng for US$8.7 billion. When Lin Feng took over, he would naturally vigorously develop Chrysler, but you had to impose a buy-back agreement at the original price.

, what does this mean?

Now Chrysler is worth US$8.7 billion. What if you develop it and it's worth US$87 billion? Will you buy it back at the original price of US$8.7 billion? Isn't this nonsense? Do you think you are a fool, or do you think you are an idiot?

"Minister Guterres, is it that I, Lin Feng, look like an idiot, or do you think that I, Lin Feng, am a fool?" Lin Feng said coldly, "Do you think I will agree to such an outrageous condition?

? Or do you think you are so charming that you would let me sign such an agreement? Minister Guterres, I only like women!"

Minister Guterres didn't understand what Lin Feng said at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he finally understood. Lin Feng scolded him for being gay, what a ****!

"Lin Feng, you have gone too far!" Guterres slammed the table and shouted angrily.

"Excessive? Not as much as you! Who do you think I am, Lin Feng? I help you raise pigs and fatten them up, and you repay them at the price of the piglets. If I agree to this clause, then I am really a pig!" Lin Fenghan said

He sarcastically said, "You idiots, don't think that everyone in the world is as idiotic as you."

Guterres' expression changed several times.

"Lin Feng, you have to know that we can disagree with this deal. Even if there is a referendum, we can also veto this deal from other aspects. Even if we cannot veto it, we can still make this deal permanent.

Make your acquisitions very difficult! You have to know..." Guterres fully demonstrated his privileges as Minister of Commerce.

Lin Feng simply shrugged.

"So what? Is the inability to trade my loss? Minister Guterres, don't forget, I decided to acquire Chrysler because of Jessica. In fact, in my eyes, Chrysler is not my cup of tea at all. I

The acquisition is at the same level as General Motors, and I really don’t like the others. If you veto it, I can spend less money and get less snacks. So, go ahead and veto it! Minister Guterres

, the rejection of this deal is by no means my loss. It is the loss of all Detroit workers and the entire city of Detroit." Lin Feng said calmly, "So, please come back now. Zhiling, see you off!"

"Mr. Minister, please!" Lin Chiling said with a smile.

What! Let yourself go! Before Guterres came, he never thought that Lin Feng would actually drive people away, and that he would drive away himself, the dignified Secretary of Commerce of the United States. In his opinion, even if the conditions he proposed were a bit too harsh

, but this business negotiation is nothing more than asking for a high price and paying back the money on the ground. Naturally, he does not think that Lin Feng will agree to this condition, but it is also to pave the way for his next goal, proposing terms that are equal to the recovery of the stock price and market value in the future.

The stock price market value recovery clause is equivalent to hanging a sword of Dark Morris over Lin Feng's head. In other words, it is equivalent to opening a back door for Lin Feng. After Lin Feng manages Chrysler in the future, he will

You can convince some American giants to recover Chrysler at its market value. Before the recovery, you can use some financial means to hit Chrysler's share price on the stock and achieve the purpose of acquiring it at the lowest price. And Lin Feng has become a raiser.

A pig farmer, a pig farmer who has fattened pigs but can only sell piglets at a high price.

But he didn't expect that before he could finish laying the groundwork, he would be kicked out by Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng, you will regret it! You will definitely regret it!" Guterres shouted angrily into the wind. But the only response he received was the cold sound of the door closing.

**!**! Lin Feng, you will definitely regret it, you will! Minister Guterres roared in the wind.

"Boss, is this really okay?" Lin Chiling said worriedly when she heard the roar coming from outside.

"Haha, I respect others as much as they respect me. If you actually want to treat me, Lin Feng, as an idiot, then I will let him know the anger of an idiot!" Lin Feng said lightly.

"Boss, I think this is just a foreshadowing made by Guterres. His real bargaining chip is definitely not this!" Natalie Portman analyzed.

"Haha, I know. I'm afraid he will eventually propose to allow American companies to make acquisitions at a price equivalent to today's market value. But I will never agree to this condition. I acquired Chrysler and worked hard to develop it, but in the end I got it for free.

Yankee, I'm not that idiot!" Lin Feng said coldly, "Guterres wanted to make a huge profit, and his original intention was good. Unfortunately, I, Lin Feng, am not the kind of person who helps people pay for being sold.

people!"

"What about tomorrow's referendum?" Lin Chiling asked.

"Haha, don't worry, Mayor Kilpatrick is so enthusiastic, so he will naturally help us solve these troubles." Lin Fengxiao said, "Compared to us, Mayor Kilpatrick is more anxious!"

Isn't it? For this acquisition, Lin Feng is not indispensable. Everyone has made a wrong assessment, that is, Lin Feng must acquire Chrysler. In fact, this is not the case. For this acquisition, Lin Feng is

It is certainly a good thing to adopt an acquisition, and it does not matter if it does not succeed. With a tentative attitude, it is not necessary to acquire. Therefore, Lin Feng can respond more forcefully to Secretary Guterres's tyrannical attitude. And

, Lin Feng's mentality is also extremely calm about this acquisition.

Even if he wants to make an acquisition, he must take advantage of it. This is Lin Feng's mentality towards this acquisition. Lin Feng will never be like some state-owned enterprises, who are overjoyed when they successfully acquire a foreign company that was once famous but is now in decline.

Crazy, like a successful Normandy landing. For Lin Feng, acquiring any company, no matter how famous it is, is not for some symbolic meaning, but for actual benefits!
