Chapter 148: Comau's Request

Seeing Johnson Lin looking at him strangely, Emontina explained to Johnson Lin embarrassedly: "Mr. Lin, in addition to being a negotiating assistant, I am also a volunteer of a women's rights organization! Coma company donated a fund for an activity to our organization, so our women's rights organization sent me to see you! Mr. Lin, if you think the technology of Coma company is good, please be sure to choose Coma company! I ask you!"

Emontina clasped her hands together and said, looking very pitiful.

Lin Qiangsheng was stunned for a moment, nodded to Emontina, then looked at Kalmajo, and saw him standing there awkwardly.

Lin Johnson smiled and said, "Coma has really put some thoughts in it! He actually invited Miss Emontina. He knew that she has worked for me for a long time, and you are really interested."

Kalmacho quickly explained to Johnson Lin, "It's just a little sponsorship. Emmontina is a volunteer of the women's rights organization, and we are willing to support their careers! Coma just wants women's rights to develop better, so she sponsored their very little activity funding! Ha."

Lin Johnson nodded, looked at Emmontina, and thought that she had helped her a lot of things. In fact, Lin Johnson has been acquiring equipment and technology through Emmontina and her company.

Emmontina persuaded a few more words, served coffee to Lin Johnson at the right time, and sat respectfully on the side.

Lin Johnson said to Kalmajo: "Since Emontina is so dedicated to pleading for your Coma company, I will give priority to your company! But I have a condition!"

Kalmajo felt nervous. He didn't know what difficult requests Lin Johnson would make. Last time it was a five-axis linked CNC machining center, but this time it was not known what it was.

"You said! What we Coma can do must try to satisfy Mr. Lin!" Kalma said disguisedly.

Lin Johnson looked at Emmontina. Emmontina stood up and said, "Mr. Lin, I am very happy to see you. I think I should say goodbye too!"

Lin Johnson nodded and said, "I'm very happy too! I will talk to Carl about cooperation, and you can explain it to the women's rights organization!"

Emmontina nodded, and when she walked out of the guest room, she suddenly remembered something. She turned to Johnson Lin and said, "Mr. Lin, Benali has agreed to sell you the shares of Maserati, but Mr. Tomaso does not agree to transfer the shares of him to you. Do you think?"

Benali is a well-known century-old motorcycle company in Italy, which now owns 40% of Maserati shares.

Lin Johnson nodded and said to Emontina: "Then let Tomaso's shares be put aside first, and buy the Maserati shares controlled by Benali first!"

Emontina nodded and said, "Benari is now in serious economic difficulties. They are willing to sign a transfer contract with you right away!"

Lin Johnson was stunned for a moment and asked quickly: "What's the situation?"

Emmontina explained to Lin Johnson. It turned out that with the strong rise of the Japanese economy, advanced, fashionable and low-cost motorcycles made in Japan entered Europe, and a large number of impacts on the European motorcycle market, resulting in an increasingly difficult situation for many European motorcycle companies to operate. Especially for Italian motorcycle companies that lack funds, this situation did not improve one after another from the 1960s to the mid-1990s.

"Then I can buy Benelli directly. Do you ask their shareholders to sell it?" Lin Johnson said to Emontina without hesitation.

You should know that China's current motorcycle level is very backward, and it is basically at the level of BMW three-wheeled motorcycles in Germany during World War II. The technology was introduced in China. It is called the Yangtze River 750, commonly known as the sideboard. The Yangtze River 750 and its improved model were obviously not as good as the Japanese motorcycles seizing the market after the reform and opening up.

At this time, it was time to introduce the modern motorcycle technology of Benali in the 1970s. The 1973 edition of Benali 250, 300, 1975 edition of 600, 750, and 1979 edition of 900. The design of these Benali motorcycles is very fashionable and the technology is no worse than that of Japanese motorcycles!

Emontina opened her eyes wide and looked at Johnson Lin. It took a long time to keep up with his rhythm. Then she nodded to Johnson Lin and said, "I will test Benelli. I think their shareholders will be willing to sell!"

"We need to separate Maserati! The style of Maserati is very unique, and it develops comfort coupe. In the world, it is the best it can do!" said Lin Johnson.

Emmontina remembered it and saw that Lin Johnson had no other instructions. So she walked out of the room after hugging Lin Johnson.

Lin Johnson thought that in fact, there are other benefits to owning Maserati, that is, its high-end racing division!

Maserati is also headquartered in Modena. In its northern industrialized region, Maserati has a highly skilled racing technology team with senior engineers, technicians and technicians.

If you look at f1, endurance race, or something, you will see the technicians of those teams on the fierce field. They often have extremely superb skills, very tacit team cooperation, and can handle it easily in the fierce field. These technicians have been working together for many years, and the team also has decades of experience in the field.

The most important thing is that Maserati has a FIA F1 license. If Lin Johnson bought Maserati, he would directly own the company's F1 license.

If you participate in the competition, I believe there will be sponsors joining. Although it is difficult to balance the income and expenditure for the time being, Lin Johnson also believes that this is a promising career and worth doing!

Think about the many domestic manufacturers who spent a lot of money on advertising in international competitions in later generations, he doesn’t believe that no manufacturer would spend a lot of money on advertising!

A sign on the body of the car will charge him 50 million, right? Ten 50 million will almost balance the income and expenditure! F1 is so expensive. In the 21st century, the expenses of major participating teams will be at a level of hundreds of millions of pounds!

Maserati turns out to be a f1 giant. She has not only participated in f1 events, but also has been very prosperous.

Lamborghini also participated. Lotus was also a big f1 club at that time. They used the Lamborghini engine and scored 3 points in a year, just like not participating. Because of their extremely bad results, Lamborghini did not mention this matter. So later Lamborghini gradually gave up the f1 event, and they were very enthusiastic about the Le Mans competition.

Ferrari is also a big f1 family and has been maintained until the 21st century. Although Maserati has the same technical level as Ferrari, its performance will not be as extreme as Ferrari, and will be more comfortable, gradually evolved into a daily high-performance comfortable coupe.

The sales of the two models of Maserati, Karami and the President 3rd Generation are very unsatisfactory. Karami has only sold more than 300 vehicles in 7 years. Because of its 4.7-liter large-displacement engine, the President 3 is not popular with the public today when oil prices are rising, especially Europeans do not like large-displacement cars.

The famous racer Tomaso from Argentina is now the major shareholder of Maserati and is also the general manager of Maserati. If he does not agree to the sale of shares, Lin Johnson will have no choice. Because Maserati has a tradition of using racers as general managers, this tradition perfectly guarantees Maserati's pride in the racing stadium, and after Fiat acquired Maserati in the later generations, he did not perform well in the racing stadium.

Kalmajo looked at Lin Johnson anxiously, waiting for his answer. This is a project involving hundreds of millions of dollars! Toshiba dared to sell advanced machine tools to the Soviet Union for a business of less than 20 million dollars, let alone an order involving hundreds of millions of dollars.

The first two supporting projects and factory outsourcing services alone have won nearly US$200 million in orders for Coma, and its profit is the sum of their business volume in four or five years!

As the general manager of Coma, Kalmacho brought a lot of profits to Coma during his tenure. He received the attention and attention of his headquarters Fiat for his business. He even obtained shares in Coma, becoming a shareholder of the company, and enjoyed generous equity incentives!

It is conceivable that Carmacho's attitude towards this large order is quite eager in his heart, which is equivalent to fighting for his own career and money!

After returning to the guest room, Lin Johnson sat down and thought for a while, he said to Kalmajo: "That's it! Last time I ordered 5 sets of five-axis linked CNC machining centers, and your Coma company will provide me with five sets of machining centers, and at the same time I want to buy enough accessories!"

After saying that, Lin Johnson stared at Carmacho's eyes and observed his reaction.

Cold sweat suddenly oozed out of Karmacho's head. He wiped it and said, "This is terrible! Our Coma company has provided you with five sets of precision equipment. Adding five sets of equipment will definitely cause doubts from other countries' supporting equipment manufacturers! Especially for Germans, we use German products and CNC systems. They will definitely investigate if they purchase a large amount of products! Germans care very much about countries like you getting key technologies! Mr. Lin, can you change the conditions? We will definitely do it!"

Lin Johnson shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Okay, I only have accessories! You Coma or other Italian manufacturers can produce them. Is this okay?"

Kalmacho thought about it and said that if he rejected Lin Johnson again, he would be unable to talk. So he nodded to Lin Johnson with difficulty and said, "No problem! But he still traded in the third country!"

Lin Johnson smiled. He leaned over and patted Kalmajo on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "That's right! Only when we are honest and unfair can friendship last forever!"

Kalmajo smiled reluctantly and asked, "Mr. Lin, do you see our order?"

Lin Johnson waved his hand and said, "The last matter has not been resolved yet. How can I hand over the order to Coma with confidence?"

Kalmacho immediately said: "Coma is willing to send another group of engineers to China until the machine can work properly!" (To be continued...)
