Everyone present, including Zhou Jianneng, also had similar expressions.
It's just that unlike others, Zhou Jianneng feels that the offer is too much. According to his idea, he can only give one achievement at most.
It's just a "shabby settlement", do you really think of yourself as a dish? You don't even look at what kind of place this is?
If it weren't for the sake of his eldest nephew, he would definitely turn around and leave on the spot. The technology of electric vehicles has long been mature, and there is really no shortage of that technology.
Zhang Hao quickly explained: "In order to win BYD, we have prepared a total of 200 billion acquisition funds. Twenty percent is 40 billion, which is really a lot."
"We have a full set of truck technology. I believe you also know how out of stock Sinotruk is now?"
Sterling listed his strengths.
"Sterling, I'm not going to hide it from you, we are not planning to invest in the Sinotruk project for the time being."
Zhang Hao shook his head.
Sterling was very surprised: "Why?"
"The competition from SINOTRUK is too fierce. We may not be able to compete with those large state-owned enterprises. They have the home field advantage. I don't want to go head-to-head with them."
"What are you afraid of? As long as our trucks have better performance, I believe there will be no distinction between public and private matters. Besides, there is competition in the production of private cars."
"It's different."
"What's the difference?"
Zhang Hao organized his language and gave his answer: "According to the current situation analysis, state-owned enterprises will bear more and more responsibilities. Profit is no longer the main purpose, and it doesn't even matter whether they make money or not.
Everyone knows that the logistics industry is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and I don't need to say more about its importance.
Once those state-owned car companies put their focus on trucks, private cars will be our opportunity, which is why I don’t invest in SINOTRUK.”
Sterling was silent for a moment. He admitted that what the other party said made sense, but it was really impossible for him to give up the heavy truck project.
It is his consistent style to face difficulties head on.
More importantly, investing in SINOTRUK is both a challenge and an opportunity for their company. If the project succeeds, it can greatly enhance their status in the federation.
This is the key to the comeback of "Faraday".
They are outsiders and don't have much money. Only by relying on official support can they rebuild "Faraday" and even the return of the king.
Seeing that his boss was silent, Deputy CEO James quickly added:
"Director Zhang, in addition to the heavy truck project, our company has also made good progress in battery, chip and autonomous driving technologies."
Zhang Hao smiled and nodded: "As the largest car company in the Federation, of course I will not doubt your research and development capabilities. The value of these technologies is beyond doubt."
The acquisition of these technologies is necessary. In order to adapt to the current environment and to defeat other competitors, they need to upgrade existing technologies.
To give a simple example, severe cold will seriously reduce the cruising range of electric vehicles. If you encounter extreme weather, there is a question mark as to whether it can be driven.
】
In addition, air conditioning is also a big trouble.
Generally, air conditioners consume too much electricity. If you can change the heating method, you may be surprised.
According to the memory in the dream, graphene is a good research direction. After BYD is acquired, the technical staff can follow up.
This thing has a wide range of uses and unlimited prospects.
"Director Zhang, the value of these technologies is definitely more than 40 billion. I hope to be treated fairly by you." Sterling said with hope.
Zhou Jianneng retorted on the spot: "Impossible, absolutely impossible. The Federation just passed a provisional patent law last month. According to the new regulations, no one or organization will be able to monopolize patents in the future. The actual value of the patent will be greatly reduced. Four hundred
100 million is already a high price."
"Sterling, what President Zhou said is what I want to say. You can no longer look at what is happening now with the same perspective as before. Forty billion is really a lot."
Zhang Hao followed closely and echoed.
Sterling didn't want to give up easily, and thought of a new plan: "Director Zhang, I suggest you simply acquire our 'Faraday' together. BYD will be responsible for the private car project, and Faraday will be responsible for the heavy truck project. The two companies will operate independently."
, non-interference with each other."
Zhou Jianneng was immediately moved and kept winking at his eldest nephew. This plan was simply the best of both worlds.
You know, the current Faraday Company, except for the patented technology, is only an empty shell. It does not cost much to acquire it.
Unfortunately, Zhang Hao was not moved at all.
I refused on the spot.
He really doesn't want to go against those large state-owned enterprises, which are an iron rice bowl for millions of people. No matter how good Faraday's technology is, it will be difficult to break through.
It would be even worse if it involves yourself.
In short, he was firmly opposed to this kind of thankless work, and he even gave up the acquisition.
Next, Sterling proposed two similar plans, but unfortunately they were unsuccessful.
Zhang Hao only wanted to acquire patented technology and squeezed his shares to death. He would not accept anything else. The demands of both parties could not be reconciled at all.
In the end, the dinner ended and both parties parted unhappy.
……
On the way back, Zhou Jianneng took the initiative to comfort Zhang Hao. If his eldest nephew hadn't clung to the management rights, he would have already acquired "Faraday" by now.
"Xiao Hao, Mr. Gui has a lot of thoughts, and he is not easy to get along with at first glance. We are greedy for their technology patents, but they want to occupy the magpie's nest. It is right not to cooperate."
Seriously speaking, Zhou Jianneng is not qualified to say these words at all. He is not a good person himself and also has various little thoughts.
"What a pity for such a good opportunity."
Zhang Hao took a deep breath of smoke.
Faraday is the leader in the electric vehicle industry, and its market value was once more than ten times that of BYD. If it can obtain those patented technologies, it will be equivalent to giving BYD a pair of wings to take off.
Zhou Jianneng flicked the cigarette ash out of the car window: "How about we wait and see? It's useless for them to keep the technology patents, they will have to sell them sooner or later."
"I'm afraid we have to wait. Sterling is not the kind of person who gives up easily." Zhang Hao shook his head and then said worriedly: "After this meeting, I am now a little worried about Wang Chuanxi."
These business leaders are not easy people to deal with.
He thinks things too simply.
Zhou Jianneng was suddenly shocked and quickly threw away the cigarette butt in his hand: "No way? If he had this ability, BYD would not be in this situation today. Besides, Zhou Gengnian also said that Wang Chuanxi was not in good health, even if it was true
Even if you have the intention, you can’t do anything.”
"We can't take it lightly. Who knows if these old gangsters have any backup plans?"
Zhang Hao spoke with sincerity and sincerity.
Zhou Jianneng rubbed his forehead with an irritated look:
"We have prepared so much, how can we get nothing? If the acquisition fails, those people from the Chamber of Commerce will definitely scold us to death."
"How can you be 100% successful in doing business? Besides, this acquisition doesn't cost much. At most, it's just a waste of time."
Zhang Hao didn't think so.
Zhou Jianneng gave a wry smile: "Xiao Hao, let me remind you that in order to raise funds, many people in the Chamber of Commerce have sold their property. This is no joke."
"Forget it, let's not talk about it for now. Let's wait until the end of the month! Maybe we are overthinking it."
