Of course, a weird "three-bouncer" is not enough to impress the stubborn but cunning white-haired old man. If it weren't for his shamelessness, Rolls-Royce, which has the most complete powertrain design factory in the UK, would have already gone all out to develop private powertrains.
There is no need for Liu Lang to catalyze the market with this weird idea.
Even the stubborn white-haired old man is very moved now. He actually knows very well that the reason why Rolls-Royce Company stubbornly insists on higher-end military supplies is actually related to the current economy of the United Kingdom or Europe.
Because of the sudden economic crisis in the United States a few years ago, the European continent did not escape. The entire economy has been in recession for more than ten years. Although the upper class nobles are still enjoying the glory left by their ancestors, the people at the bottom are struggling in the economy.
The economy is stretched thin, and the unemployment rate has repeatedly reached new highs.
Rolls-Royce is forced to borrow money from everywhere to survive, and it is still not optimistic about the civilian market. This is also the reason. What is even more frightening is that if Rolls-Royce eventually goes bankrupt, nearly 10,000 workers will lose their jobs, which will be another blow to the entire British society.
Huge impact...
Now it seems that developing the lower-end rural market may be another way out for Rolls-Royce. Almost in his heart, Henry Rufus has already approved Liu Lang's suggestion, but Liu Lang's 15%
The shares are really too high.
Even the Henry family's 51% stake in Rolls-Royce has been diluted to 30% after several rounds of financing. If the so-called Chinese consortium in this young man's mouth hopes to obtain 100%,
Fifteen points, the Henry family's voice in Rolls-Royce will not only be reduced again, but the Chinese consortium may become the third largest shareholder in one fell swoop. This will be very important to Rolls-Royce, which controls the powertrain technology of the British Navy and Air Force.
It's really too dangerous for the company.
The Imperial Cabinet may not even agree to such an acquisition.
“In addition to the Sanbengzi that can be promoted to the majority of rural areas, we cannot give up on urban customers. For cities, we can develop SUVs, which are multi-functional passenger vehicles with high floor space and large space. They are definitely good helpers for home use;
There is a pickup truck that can both pull goods and carry people. Even a distinguished person would not refuse such a practical vehicle." Liu Lang once again dropped a bombshell in front of the still hesitant white-haired old man.
.
The SUV model drawn on paper is definitely an epoch-making product in this era. For President Rovers, who owns a car manufacturing plant, this epoch-making product is definitely a design that can be welcomed by the general public.
As Liu Lang said, an SUV that combines the comfort of a car with a higher footprint and larger space will definitely become the darling of urban residents. In fact, seventy years later, this kind of multi-functional passenger car is called SUV
The hot sales of the car have proved this.
Compared with the first two, pickup trucks are not a new thing. They appeared in the United States as early as ten years ago and have already become a popular car design in the American continent. However, after the emergence of these two vehicle designs, pickup trucks are used as
As a buffer, Rolls-Royce has developed products ranging from high-end sedans to SUVs to lower-end pickup trucks to the lowest-end sedans. It can be said that it completely covers all passenger car markets.
The most wonderful thing is that with such a clear-cut product structure, who will pay attention to and laugh at Rolls-Royce, which has always been a high-end company, for making low-end gadgets like "Three Jumps"? That shows that Rolls-Royce has comprehensive technology
, is it good that the product coverage is wide?
At this moment, the white-haired old man was just a little bit away from agreeing to all Liu Lang's requests, and looked at Liu Lang with a completely different look. If we talk about the idea of proposing a three-bounce design and using a so-called car model to attract attention,
In his eyes, he was just a young man with some crooked talents, but now, he is definitely a sales wizard.
But Liu Lang surprised him more than that.
"I also know that the current economic situation in the UK or Europe as a whole is not very good. Many people may want to buy a car but cannot afford it, but it doesn't matter. We can let customers pay in installments!" Liu Lang dropped the last stone.
heavy bomb.
"How about an installment payment?" The white-haired old man felt that the new terms he heard today were definitely the most he had heard in one day in his life.
"Customers can pay a small down payment, and then the remaining balance can be divided into three or five years and returned monthly. For example, a Rolls-Royce multi-purpose passenger car, please note, it is not your brother and his
The luxury car advocated by Mr. Rolls, the partner of Mr. Rolls, with a hand-made engine and a price of more than 2,000 pounds, is tentatively priced at 600 pounds. And the annual income of an ordinary British person is probably only 500 pounds, so he must be
If he can't afford it, that's easy. He only needs to pay a down payment of 200 pounds, and the remaining 400 pounds will be repaid in 36 months. With an annual interest rate of about 6%, he only needs to pay 13 pounds per month.
Pounds are enough." Liu Lang patiently explained to the white-haired old man this installment payment method from the future.
The white-haired old man was completely stunned. Liu Lang was no longer a sales wizard, but a business genius. For 300 pounds, he could drive home a Rolls-Royce car that was already famous in Europe and even America. For the majority of urban residents,
It is definitely a huge temptation, and more than ten pounds per month is not unaffordable for most people.
The white-haired old man has even imagined how huge the purchasing power of the UK or Europe will be once this installment payment method is implemented. If the production plant is not expanded in advance to expand productivity, the snowflakes of orders will keep people waiting.
One year.
"However, Rolls-Royce can no longer afford to advance such a large amount of funds. Let alone a thousand vehicles, it is difficult to even make a hundred vehicles." Faced with such a tempting huge cake, the white-haired old man could only say dejectedly.
"Of course Rolls-Royce will not be used to advance the payment. The overseas branch of China Huashang Group will bear the cost. It only requires the Imperial Bank of China to provide a credit guarantee for the people, but because the profits generated from the annual interest will only be paid by the bank
Share it with the Huashang Group and we won't care about Luo Luo Company." Regarding the white-haired old man's worries, Liu Lang replied confidently.
Of course Liu Lang is confident that as long as sulfa drugs are launched in Europe, the profits in Europe alone will be enough to pay for this huge loan to the British people. Liu Lang does not care about the profit value of 6% annual interest. His purpose is to use
This impressed all shareholders of Rolls-Royce to enter this company that will have the world's highest aero-engine technology in the future.
Even Liu Lang would not hesitate to pay for the profits from the sales of sulfonamide drugs throughout Europe. Even if Liu Lang knew that in more than four years, Britain and France, who would sit and watch Poland being destroyed by Mustache, would be forced to participate in the war.
Thousands of British civilians will die in this war, and many loans will become dead debts. But what Liu Lang wants now is not money, but China's future.
What's more, the entire British people owe a huge favor to the Chinese business group, which is beyond the reach of hundreds of thousands or even millions of pounds.
"Young man, I have to say that you impressed me, but my limit is 7% of the shares. Otherwise, I can't explain it to the Henry family, nor can I persuade the Cabinet Finance Minister, the Minister of Navy and Air Force, or even Her Majesty the Queen.
I agree." The white-haired old man took a deep breath and stated his bottom line.
Liu Lang's genius idea completely impressed Henry Luo Fus. At this time, President Henry may not have thought that what he was currently thinking about was just getting through the difficulties, but this young man from the East not only helped Luo Luo Company get through the difficulties
After three years of difficulties, Rolls-Royce had enough funds to restart the air-cooling test three years earlier than before, and the horsepower of the Merlin engine, also known as the Merlin, which was famous for its Spitfires during World War II, was
An increase of 10%, completely suppressing the lifelong enemy of the Third Reich's BF109, making the Spitfire the most popular fighter in the early days of the war, and pushing Rolls-Royce to the pinnacle of global aviation engine manufacturing.
With a little uneasiness, Henry Rufus may have never thought that he would have such expectations for a young man from backward China. He was not expecting him to agree, but expecting him not to be too loud when he made a counteroffer.
The real bottom line is nine percent of the shares, which is already the limit that the entire Henry family can bear. Otherwise, they are very likely to lose control of the company. This is definitely not what his brother, who has just passed away half a year ago, wants to see in heaven.
of.
"Okay, then seven percent." Liu Lang agreed.
...
Although the president of Rolls-Royce was excited about the deal, he was still a little depressed. Why didn't he make a counter-offer? Could it be that his price was too high?
Yes, Liu Lang originally thought it would be only 5% at most, but he didn't expect the white-haired old man to offer such a high price. Why don't you just swallow it in one gulp?
