Nie Minhui is sitting in her office, browsing a quite authoritative IT website in China. Generally speaking, you can see more professional reports and comments on the market trends of the international IT industry here. Since the last time Nie Minhui interacted with
After Zhang Wenhao met, he began to pay attention to this website, especially the trends of Google and Apple.
Nie Minhui had previously determined that both companies were planning an acquisition, and the target of the acquisition was a piece of software owned by Zhang Wenhao. But today when she turned on her computer, she found that the most prominent news column said that Google had completed a mysterious acquisition.
, the news that will be unveiled on the 28th of this month..
After Nie Minhui opened it, she was surprised to find that the 1.8 billion Zhang Wenhao said was just his own psychological price, and the final transaction price of this software actually reached an astonishing 2.4 billion.
Nie Minhui has been in business for many years, and her family business is at least ten times the figure of 2.4 billion. But when she associates this amount with Zhang Wenhao, a young man with no background and no connections and who is less than 20 years old, she feels like
Dreams are generally unreal.
The Nie family is engaged in business and the Su family is engaged in politics. The combination of these two families not only makes the Su family's position in the political arena more stable, but also makes the Nie family's industry bigger and bigger. Since the Nie family has no sons, Nie Minhui is the current Nie family's son.
At the helm, the country's steel and non-ferrous metal industries basically have elements of the Nie family. She once secretly led negotiations with Australia, and tried to acquire important foreign iron ore mines in large quantities. Over the years, what kind of storms have happened?
She has seen it all, and has long been trained to be extremely calm and wise, but today, she is still shocked by Zhang Wenhao's ability.
2.4 billion U.S. dollars. Nie Minhui believed that even the Nie family could not afford so much cash. This money was enough for Zhang Wenhao to live comfortably for several lifetimes. But after she met Zhang Wenhao last time, she found that Zhang Wenhao seemed to be still there.
Brewing bigger plans.
Nie Minhui carefully analyzed Zhang Wenhao's two successful cases and found that whether it was Dongchen Pharmaceutical or Dongchen Technology, Zhang Wenhao followed a routine, that is, small investment, big return. Dongchen Pharmaceutical started with hundreds of thousands of yuan.
The registered capital of Dongchen Technology is only a few million yuan, but both industries have brought unexpected high returns to Zhang Wenhao. The most important thing is that these two successes, in Nie Minhui's view,
There are great coincidences.
The only product of Dongchen Pharmaceutical, the Qushishi Bone-setting Patch, is successful because of its extremely strong curative effect. Zhang Wenhao also said that he got this prescription by accident, which can be said to be due to his excellent luck.
As for Dongchen Technology, Zhang Wenhao said that he bought a certain product from a team and then sold the operation to Google. If this is true, then Zhang Wenhao's luck would be incredible.
Zhang Wenhao also mentioned it last time. After getting the money, he was ready to enter the industry. But if Zhang Wenhao puts aside the luck and relies solely on his own ability to enter the industry, Nie Minhui can't help but worry. With so much money in hand, what if something happens?
What should Zhang Wenhao do if he can't control himself and wants to make a big move? It is very likely that a wrong decision will result in huge losses.
Nie Minhui felt that she needed to talk to Zhang Wenhao again, so she took the initiative to call Zhang Wenhao and made an appointment to meet tonight.
Zhang Wenhao was worrying about how to handle the acquisition of Volvo, and Nie Minhui's call just reminded him of a shortcut.
Nie Minhui brought Zhang Wenhao to the club again, and the two sat across from each other. Nie Minhui wanted to warn Zhang Wenhao that after he had money, he should be more cautious when making investments. Unexpectedly, Zhang Wenhao scared Nie Minhui first when he opened his mouth.
One jump.
"Aunt Nie, how much do you know about Volvo?"
Nie Minhui basically paid attention to all the big moves in traditional industries. Recently, she also heard that Volvo was about to be sold again. When Zhang Wenhao suddenly asked about it, she suddenly became alert and exclaimed: "
Wen Hao! Are you starting to think about Volvo?"
Zhang Wenhao chuckled, nodded and said: "To tell you the truth, Aunt Nie, I am indeed quite interested in it." As he said, Zhang Wenhao said: "I have some knowledge of the domestic automobile industry, almost all domestic automobile manufacturers.
, all follow two development routes, one is self-development, and the other is cooperation with foreign companies. The latter will not be mentioned. These joint venture brands have a certain market and have strong funds behind them. Acquisitions are simply impossible.
, although the former is an independent brand, most of its production lines have low technological level and focus on the low-end market. The acquisition of such a brand also requires a lot of money to transform. Volvo has become the only special case. It was fully acquired by Geely.
The level of the production line has reached the level of joint venture brands, and now Geely is ready to take action."
Nie Minhui was really shocked. In her opinion, Zhang Wenhao was indeed very courageous. He had just received the money and before he could hold back his enthusiasm, he was planning to acquire Volvo. Although Volvo's value would not be too high, at most a billion dollars,
Zhang Wenhao can definitely afford it, but this is not a profitable business. A brand like Volvo has no value now. After buying it with so much money, the first thing you have to face is long-term and large investment.
Although you have made money, if you don't want to go bankrupt, you have to continue to spend money to subsidize it. Zhang Wenhao's net worth of more than 20 billion will be used up within a few years after buying Volvo.
Nie Minhui hurriedly said: "Wen Hao, the competition in the automobile manufacturing industry is too great, far greater than you think. Volvo's failure is inevitable in market development. It itself does not have strong competitiveness, and its opponents are
There are too many Japanese cars, German cars, and American cars. These three rivals alone are enough to squeeze Volvo's living space to the extreme in the market of models with more than 100,000 yuan, and those with less than 100,000 yuan.
The market competition is even more fierce, with countless domestic brands targeting this field, and many joint venture brands are constantly developing low-end models to seize this market. If you acquire Volvo, you will only put yourself in a quagmire and be unable to extricate yourself!"
Zhang Wenhao naturally knows that Nie Minhui's concerns are very reasonable, but Nie Minhui does not know that Zhang Wenhao currently has extremely powerful industrial technology. Volvo's production line has a certain level, which is enough for Zhang Wenhao to flex his muscles and competitiveness under this condition.
For Zhang Wenhao, he is like a floating cloud. With the super learning system behind him, he is world-leading in everything he does.
As far as the automobile industry is concerned, Zhang Wenhao can use more economical, fuel-saving and environmentally friendly technology to occupy the mid- to low-end market; he can use safer, modern and high-performance technology to occupy the mid-to-high-end market. Even the luxury car market.
The luxury car market, and no matter which market you target, is absolutely competitive.
Immediately, Zhang Wenhao said: "Aunt Nie, I have great confidence in the acquisition of Volvo. Once the acquisition of Volvo is completed, I will immediately completely transform it, and then change its appearance and re-launch it on the market as a purely domestic brand.
"
"Ah?" Nie Minhui was even more surprised. Are you kidding me? The only thing worth money about Volvo now is its brand value. Wouldn't it be even worse to spend money to buy it and then start a new one to build a new brand?
Nie Minhui hurriedly persuaded: "Wen Hao, you are not suitable for such a large-scale operation now. First of all, your energy is limited. Such an enterprise often has dozens or hundreds of different departments and thousands of employees.
There are too many aspects involved, including raw materials, suppliers, spare parts, design, research and development, and testing. Layer by layer, even a team will have to be busy for a long time. Auntie still recommends that if you really want to enter the industry
, you can start with small industries or small industries and develop gradually. Accumulate resources and experience."
Zhang Wenhao shook his head gently and developed gradually. If he had the time and patience, he would not be so anxious to enter industrial manufacturing. The development step by step is too slow. Maybe five years later, his first
A new engine can roll off the production line. Seven years later, his first car will be launched. Ten years later, his first high-power diesel engine will roll off the production line. Fifteen years later, his first aircraft engine will roll off the production line. Two
Ten years later, whether he could build his first airplane was a question. The cycle was too slow and he couldn't wait.
Nie Minhui would never have imagined Zhang Wenhao's ambitions. She now thinks that Zhang Wenhao is just a child, a child who does what he wants to do immediately without thinking too much. He underestimates the hardships and difficulties of the automobile manufacturing industry.
Maybe he has a passion for industrial power, but this kind of thing cannot be accomplished with passion.
Nie Minhui's constant persuasion had no effect. Zhang Wenhao said sincerely: "Aunt Nie, it has always been my dream to get involved in industrial manufacturing. Volvo is an excellent opportunity. If Volvo is acquired, I can save many years of time.
Gradually, I can directly use Volvo's hardware and software. Therefore, I am determined to acquire Volvo. However, I am not suitable to do this now. Therefore, I would like to ask you for a favor. Please help me acquire Volvo, and then
Put Volvo in your company name.”
Nie Minhui looked at Zhang Wenhao and asked solemnly: "Wenhao, do you definitely want to buy Volvo?"
Zhang Wenhao nodded and said firmly: "Yes, I must put it in my pocket."
Nie Minhui hesitated for a moment, sighed and said: "Let's do this. I'll find someone to find out first and make a preliminary assessment of Volvo. I'll help you register a company under my group's name, but the company belongs to you alone."
All, and then in the name of the group, they proposed an acquisition intention for Volvo and started acquisition negotiations."
Zhang Wenhao's face was filled with joy and he said hurriedly: "Thank you very much, Aunt Nie."
Nie Minhui smiled helplessly. She regarded Zhang Wenhao as her own child in her heart. She couldn't bear to let him charge alone at this time, so she said: "Well, Wenhao, I will contribute 20% to acquire Volvo, which is regarded as a share. Go
I will also bear 20% of all subsequent expenses, but you have to agree to one condition, Auntie."
Zhang Wenhao said: "Auntie, please tell me."
"That's right." Nie Minhui said: "When every company starts operating, it is difficult to achieve profitability, but there must be a limit to continuous investment. After Volvo is acquired, the maximum investment amount shall not exceed three billion yuan.
, once the investment reaches 3 billion yuan and the profit is far away, you must give up decisively. Can you agree to this, Auntie?"
"Okay." Zhang Wenhao agreed without hesitation. Nie Minhui was worried that Zhang Wenhao would be trapped in the quagmire of Volvo because of her passion. That's why she proposed to contribute 20% of the capital, accounting for 20%.
On the one hand, it is to share Zhang Wenhao's risks to a certain extent. On the other hand, if he has his own shares in this company, he can also persuade Zhang Wenhao to stop in case of poor management.
But Nie Minhui doesn't know that her 20% investment in favor will be rewarded in the future. At least for now, Nie Minhui's psychology is very simple. Since Zhang Wenhao wants to play a big game,
Then I would spend two to three billion US dollars to play with Zhang Wenhao. It doesn't matter if I lose, in order to tie a safety rope to Zhang Wenhao. If something goes wrong, I can quickly pull him back so that he won't get stuck in the mud.
.
Zhang Wenhao naturally knew that Nie Minhui was doing it for his own good, so she offered to invest 20% of the shares. Zhang Wenhao did not refuse. However, Zhang Wenhao was also quite curious about what industry Nie Minhui was engaged in, so he tentatively asked: "Nie Minhui
Auntie, I don’t know what industry you have been working in? Moreover, I don’t know the name of your group?”
Nie Minhui smiled slightly and asked, "Have you heard of Zhongyu Group?"
Zhang Wenhao was suddenly startled and blurted out: "Zhongyu Group? Zhongyu Group, the number one private enterprise in the country?"
Nie Minhui nodded and said: "We are mainly engaged in the steel manufacturing industry. There are two core businesses, one is ferrous metal smelting and the other is non-ferrous metal manufacturing. Now we are trying to get rid of the traditional constraints and start to develop and manufacture special alloys.
.”
Only today did Zhang Wenhao know how prominent Su Ruoran's family background was. His father was in a high position and had great power. Even Lei Zhanjun was afraid of three points, but Nie Minhui actually controlled the number one domestic private enterprise.
The Zhongyu Group, with this kind of family background, is a truly wealthy family, and it is much more powerful than I imagined.
Zhang Wenhao is not very clear about what position Su Ruoran's father holds, but the data of Zhongyu Group has long been spread on the Internet. Its annual profit exceeds that of Huawei, reaching a scale of nearly 20 billion yuan, and this
It's just on the surface, and with the combination of the Nie family and the Su family, no one knows how much unknown income the Zhongyu Group has.
Seeing Zhang Wenhao's surprised look, Nie Minhui said: "Don't be frightened by this name. The group's profitability is indeed quite high, but what really goes into your Aunt Nie's pocket is not much higher than that.
The scale of cash flow is far inferior to that of Aunt Nie."
Zhang Wenhao smiled, scratched his head and said: "With this little money, I'm afraid I won't even be able to buy a production line from you. I heard that the investment in Zhongyu Group's largest production base has reached more than 40 billion yuan..."
Nie Minhui sighed and said: "This is the biggest constraint of the industry. The investment cycle is long and the investment amount is large, but the payback period is also terrifyingly long, and it is also very energy-consuming. There are tens of thousands of people, and the entire group has built
It is so huge that no matter how careful you are and how energetic you are, you can only carry out general macro management, so you have to face various problems every day, which is very annoying."
Zhang Wenhao pretended to be curious and asked: "Aunt Nie, does the special alloy industry have good prospects?"
Nie Minhui just chatted and said: "The prospects are very good. With the continuous development of technology, traditional black metal has gradually been replaced by high-tech industries, such as aerospace, military technology and now high-speed trains, ordinary household
Cars are constantly looking for better new materials. The market potential is very huge, but the cost of research and development is too high. In addition, the foundation of this industry in our country is not as good as that of developed countries, so the development of this industry is very
It’s slow and lags far behind developed countries.”
Zhang Wenhao nodded and said: "The price and cost of this new material are very high, and there are very strict export restrictions abroad. Although it is temporarily behind developed countries, the local market is also very large."
Nie Minhui glanced at Zhang Wenhao in surprise. She didn't expect that he could see this, and she admired it in her heart. Now, the new material industry is indeed relatively closed. Even if there are more advanced products abroad, these products are either
It is not exported domestically. Even if it is exported, the price is extremely high, so the domestic penetration rate is not high. If domestic companies can make a breakthrough in this industry, even if the overall level is still not as good as that of developed countries, compared with imports
The price of the products will be much lower, and the domestic market space is still very broad.
Nie Minhui didn't know that among the industrial technologies that Zhang Wenhao mastered, there was also everything in the field of metal smelting and materials. The world's top metal smelting and materials science was not in the United States, nor in Europe, nor in Japan, but in
The young man in front of her who was less than twenty years old.
Metal smelting is an extremely important basic industry that plays a decisive role in the entire industrial system. However, the threshold for this industry is too high. Zhang Wenhao will not be able to enter it for a while. However, after knowing Nie Minhui,
When Yu Group was engaged in this field, Zhang Wenhao also had his own little thought. If he focused on the development of industrial technology in the future, then the basic industry of materials would have a great impact on him, just like automobile manufacturing.
, Good materials can make the engine have a stronger pressure-bearing capacity, make the car body lighter, and make the car safer. If we cooperate with Nie Minhui in the future, both parties can achieve a win-win situation of mutual benefit.
