After Luo Kang left, Jiang Xiaobai called Zhang Weiyi and asked Zhang Weiyi about the current progress of the negotiations. He had promised Luo Kang to delay the negotiation for up to half a month.

In other words, the progress of negotiations with Ford Motor Company will be completed within half a month.

"Dr. Jiang."

"Lao Zhang, how is the negotiation going?" Jiang Xiaobai asked with a smile: "It should be over soon, we have been talking for such a long time.

Let me tell you some good news. Someone from the Luo family came over just now to inform us that the handover from Luofu Automobile has been completed.

The contract can be signed and transferred to us at any time. The interest-free loan of more than 400 million U.S. dollars owed by Luofu Automobile to BMW has been fully paid off. In addition, the loss of more than 200 million pounds on the book has also been fully repaid.

Now Luofu Automobile is a clean company that owns the two brands of Luofu and MG. If we are willing, we can take it in our hands at any time.

But I'm thinking that the negotiations on your side are about to end, and it will be time for both parties to announce the news together.

The Luo family also agreed to postpone it for half a month, half a month should be enough..."

Jiang Xiaobai was also very excited to win Luofu Automobile. Huahai Automobile's earliest foundation was the merger and acquisition of two automobile factories in the north, namely Volga Automobile Factory and Khachev Automobile Factory.

After the completion of this merger, although Huahai Automobile can gain a firm foothold in the north, its sales volume can only be considered satisfactory in the country in the north, and its global sales are not ideal.

Needless to say, compared with German cars, Japanese cars, American cars, etc., even compared with some second-rate international brands, it is inferior.

As for domestic Huahai Automobile, although it is a joint venture in name, it is actually a domestic branch of Huahai, and the sales volume of this car is not so ideal.

Jiang Xiaobai's definition is a mid-to-high-end car. At the very least, Huahai Automobile cannot fall directly into the ranks of low-end cars, such as Geely, Xiali, etc., but above mid-to-high-end cars, and Santana and the like

Competition, Huahai Automobile's competitiveness is not too strong.

This is something that cannot be changed. Brands need to be cultivated. For example, ABB, these three car brands have a history. It does not mean that establishing a brand can gain popularity.

When domestic products compete with foreign brands, they basically lack brand competitiveness. Although Luofu Motors is no longer what it used to be, it is still a century-old automobile factory. Whether it is the Luofu brand or the MG brand, it is a global brand.

Well-known.

What's more, Land Rover and the like, a century-old automobile factory with more than a hundred years of history, have a brand reputation that is enviable.

Unfortunately, while Jiang Xiaobai was talking enthusiastically, Zhang Weiyi was hesitating on the phone.

"No, what's wrong with you? Why don't you speak."

"Director Jiang, things have changed." Zhang Weiyi said a little embarrassed.

Jiang Xiaobai suddenly frowned: "What's going on? Didn't we have a good negotiation before? Didn't we say that we can win it for about one billion US dollars? Aren't we almost at the point of negotiation?"

Although Jiang Xiaobai said that he would not negotiate in person and left all matters this time to Zhang Weiyi, Zhang Weiyi would call back and report on the progress of the negotiations every day.

Jiang Xiaobai also knew everything about the progress of the negotiations.

Ford wanted US$1.2 billion, and Jiang Xiaobai certainly didn't want to give it that price. Of course, Jiang Xiaobai could understand Ford's feelings.

A few years ago, it was purchased for 3 billion euros, which is equivalent to a price of 3.9 billion US dollars. Over the past few years, it can now only be sold for more than 1 billion US dollars.

This is equivalent to a direct loss of more than 2 billion U.S. dollars. Of course, Ford Motor Co. is not willing to accept this.

But the current Land Rover series of cars are only worth this price, and they are basically always losing money in your hands. It is a good thing to be able to dispose of them.

Therefore, no matter how unwilling it is, Ford can only accept it. It just wants to get more money and reduce losses.

However, the price negotiated by both parties is slowly getting closer.

Speaking of which, this Luofu car is really good enough. When it is in the hands of BMW, it will cause BMW a lot of trouble, not to mention losses, and it will also delay the development of BMW itself. The BMW x5 that should have been launched long ago is

It was postponed abruptly.

This changed hands to Ford, causing Ford to suffer such a huge loss.

Of course, whether it's BMW or Ford, they are both big companies, and they can still afford to lose this little money.

But no one can bear such losses.

"Director Jiang, during today's negotiation process, Ford Motor proposed a new plan, which is to package it with Jaguar for us at a price of US$1.7 billion.

In addition, if we are willing to take it, Aston Martin also wants to transfer one of their sports cars to them, as well as Volvo..."

As Zhang Weiyi said this, Jiang Xiaobai had a dark look on his face.

"Made, what do you mean by Ford? Who do you think we are? Our Huaqing Holdings Group is also a Fortune 500 company in the world. We are not rag pickers. They want to throw everything they don't want to us." Jiang Xiaobai was furious.

asked.

"Okay, you wait until I go over and talk to them in person."

Jiang Xiaobai didn't even explain, and hung up the phone directly. Although his tone of voice was angry, after hanging up the phone, Jiang Xiaobai felt happy.

Ford, a giant company, really has something on its hands.

Land Rover, Volvo, Jaguar, Aston Martin.

This car ranges from sedans to off-road vehicles to sports cars, and these brands are well-known in later generations.

As a result, Ford is now planning to package and sell it.

If Jiang Xiaobai can't take advantage of this time to pocket what he can get, then he would be sorry for himself as a reborn person.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xiaobai directly called Zhang Tingting over.

"In this case, you notify the investment company and ask Hu Jinshan, Zhang Jun and others from the investment company to come over to see me immediately." Jiang Xiaobai ordered.

Zhang Tingting nodded. Seeing that Jiang Xiaobai's expression was serious, she didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she immediately ran over to inform him.

Hu Jinshan and Zhang Jun happened to be in Shanghai. It wasn't just a coincidence, but when they were preparing to deal with the Luo family, they called the heads of these companies over just in case anything went wrong.
