In the evening, old Cooper, who was over fifty years old, opened the door of his house and went out, preparing to go to a bar five kilometers away to watch a football game with his old friends.
After locking the door, he walked straight to a black car parked quietly in the open space in front of the door.
This is a Borgward, named GP700. It was produced in 1955 and has been with it for fourteen years. However, it is as loyal and reliable as ever and has never left it on the road.
Old Cooper came from Borgward's peak period. At that time, Borgward once accounted for 60% of Germany's automobile exports and was the first of the three major automobile manufacturers.
At that time, the dream of many young people was to own a Borgward.
Old Cooper is one of them. The first car in his life was a second-hand Borgward, and he has always replaced cars with this brand since then. It can be said that he is a loyal fan of Borgward and has a lot of affection for this brand. Deep memories and emotions.
When Borgward went bankrupt under mysterious circumstances, he even felt sad for a moment, feeling sorry for the disappearance of this bold and forward-looking brand.
And this is also the epitome of what many German people think.
"Let's go, my old buddy." Old Cooper got into the cab at this time, skillfully started his loyal old partner, turned on the radio habitually, and headed towards the destination.
"Good evening listeners, your good friend Najib, welcome to today's evening news."
"Let's take a look at what's worth paying attention to today."
"Wow, I think many people will like this news. This is news about our former pride, Borgward Motors."
"Made, can you drive... eh?"
Old Cooper, who was cursing his wife, suddenly swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue when he heard this, and quickly turned up the volume on the radio. It was a surprise to be able to hear the news from Borgward again after eight years.
"Is Borgward going to resume production?" Old Cooper muttered and took back his hand to adjust the radio. While driving, he paid attention to the news on the radio, with some vague expectations in his heart.
"According to relevant sources, the Borgward family is preparing to package and sell one of Borgward's R&D centers, a factory, the Borgward brand and many popular models in the past. It is estimated that in the near future, the Borgward we are familiar with will be revived. Appeared in front of us."
"Damn it! They must have been taken in by foreigners enough!" Hearing this, Old Cooper couldn't help but curse out. Borgward has been bankrupt for eight years. If a domestic company wanted to acquire it, it would have taken action long ago, so he The preconception is that this is being targeted by foreign companies.
Therefore, he naturally did not want to see the pride that the Germans had once lived in other countries.
"The identity of the person who acquired Borgward is also very interesting. According to reliable sources, the person who is about to become the new owner of Borgward is named Benino Rey. He is a native German and a successful automotive engineer. , has achieved many achievements internationally.
When he was young, he had the experience of interning at Borgward, but it is said that this internship was very unpleasant for him, and he did not know that this was related to him giving up the favorable conditions of large foreign companies and resolutely choosing to return to China to acquire Borgward to start a business. It doesn’t matter…”
"Fortunately, it wasn't sold to foreigners." Old Cooper's face showed a smile again, and then he began to wonder about the purpose of Benigno's acquisition of Borgward.
Is it revenge? Or is it unwilling to see the former emperor fall from his throne?
This question arises in the minds of many German people who have heard similar news.
People are curious about Benigno and look forward to Borgward rising again.
…
…
Two days later, in Chu Heng's room.
??????55.??????
“It seems that the Borgward brand is indeed extraordinary in the eyes of Germans.”
Chu Heng, who was wearing a suit and leather shoes and looked like a human, looked at the investigation report in his hand, grinning from the corners of his mouth to his ears, smiling like a flower.
"I didn't expect this." Martin sat aside and said with a smile: "Since the release of the press release, people have been calling the radio stations and newspapers that reported the news, asking about the authenticity of the news and Benino's
identity."
"Many reporters even contacted me and wanted to interview Mr. Rey, but I turned them down according to your plan. In addition, many media outlets have confirmed that they will participate in the subsequent signing ceremony, and most of them are
You come here on your own initiative, we don’t need to spend money to invite you.”
"It seems that your plan has been successful again, and the effect is surprisingly good." At this point, Martin paused and said with a smile: "Now it seems that my previous judgment was wrong. You should not be able to use a hundred."
You can achieve the desired results with a cost of RMB 10,000.”
Benigno, who was not paying much attention to their topic, perked up after hearing this and asked hurriedly: "How much do you think it will cost now?"
"I can't say for sure. The current situation is changing rapidly. Who knows how far it will develop." Martin shrugged, pondered again, and then said uncertainly: "But reducing expenses by one-third should be
OK."
"This is really a surprising news." Benigno suddenly smiled. He is about to take the lead. He has been under a lot of pressure recently and has been planning carefully for the company's subsequent expenses. Now that he can save a little on publicity, he can also save a little on the other side.
If you have more room, you can change more equipment.
"Look at your potential." Chu Heng rolled his eyes at him, threw away the report in his hand, then looked at the time and said to the two Martins: "It's almost time, we should set off."
"Then let's go."
Then the three of them stood up, straightened their clothes, came out of the house together, called Cen Hao and several people from Martin's team, took the elevator downstairs, and rushed to the signing place in a vehicle provided by the hotel.
.
The Borgward brothers also attach great importance to this press conference, because they also want to announce their entry into the real estate industry at the ceremony and do some advertising. For this purpose, they also personally selected the venue, which is located in a five-star hotel in the new district.
The hotel also prepared luxurious meals for the guests and reporters who came to attend, making the event full of pomp and circumstance.
After all, Baowo is also rich. Even if he is down and out now, he still needs to have the dignity he deserves!
This is called not falling down when the donkey is defeated!
Those two brothers have a bit of a character that leaves the old and the young behind...
Chu Heng and the others set out from the hotel. There was a traffic jam on the road, and it took them almost half an hour to finally arrive at the signing place.
Several shiny black Volkswagens parked slowly at the entrance of the hotel. Then the door of the car in the middle opened and Benigno bent down and got out of the car.
"Mr. Rey is here."
A large group of reporters who blocked the door immediately swarmed over, snapping pictures with their cameras. The dazzling flashes of light almost blinded Benigno.
"Mr. Rey, can you reveal in advance how much money you spent to acquire Borgward?"
"Some people say that your acquisition of Borgward was out of revenge. Is this true?"
“When will Borgward release its new car?”
Surrounded by reporter Yu Martin and others, Benino walked quickly into the hotel with an unnatural smile on his face.
Not wanting to be exposed to the public eye, Chu Heng and others were gone before he took his royal guards out of the car, sneaked into the hotel in a low-key manner, and took the elevator to a conference room.
The Japanese who stole land mines were not as sneaky as him.
