Chapter 1347 needs to be decided by the board of directors
When it came to Rover, Schmidt felt a little bad. The smile on his face disappeared and his brows tightened. This was not directed at Liu Lang. In fact, Rover was a stain on his time at BMW.
After he became the CEO of BMW, he led the merger and acquisition of Rover. In fact, in addition to the Rover brand, there were also brands. At that time, the Rover brand he valued most was the Rover brand. After all, it was a traditional British brand. It was still considered a brand ten years ago.
It was highly praised by the British royal family. As a result, no one cared about the Rover brand cars in the past five years, and it suffered losses of hundreds of millions of dollars every year. However, the brand was recognized by the market and has gradually become one of the company's flagship brands.
It was the brand that saved Schmidt. If both brands failed, he would become the shortest-serving CEO in the history of BMW in the past thirty years.
But Luhua is still a thorn in his heart. How to pull it out? Nowadays, only strong men can cut off their wrists and sell them while they still have some vitality. If it takes a few years, the brand Luhua will no longer be on the market.
However, mergers and acquisitions of automobile companies are not an easy matter. Billions of funds are involved. In terms of money alone, not everyone can do it. Even if someone wants to merge and acquire, they must be cautious and cautious. Once the decision fails, it will be life or death. Even if
Even a large company like BMW, with an annual output value of tens of billions of dollars, has been tortured by Rover and replaced by another smaller company. This mistake may put the company into dire straits in an instant.
When Liu Lang mentioned Luhua Company, Schmidt fell silent, rubbing his forehead and thinking, and then spoke slowly for a long time.
"Jimmy, what are your thoughts? Acquiring Rover?"
"No, no, Rover is too big and it's still in the UK. Schmidt, you also know that I don't like the UK. I'm just very interested in their engines and want to buy one or two engine production lines. Of course,
If it is better to have other auxiliary equipment, this should not be a problem for you, and it will have no impact on the overall sales in the future.
So you should also change your thinking. It is difficult to sell the whole package. It is better to sell the technology in pieces, just like wholesale and retail. The wholesale volume is too large and some people cannot afford it, so retail! We can afford it, so for you
It is said that part of the funds can be recovered, and we have also received equipment. We each have what we need and can develop together for a win-win situation. The friendship between China and Germany will last forever!"
Liu Lang was eloquent, and Schmidt couldn't help but nodded.
This is really the truth, who can't get along with money? As for the fear that Liu Lang will obtain the technology, Schmidt feels that the other party does not have the ability, and it is British technology, which is one level worse than his own, even if it is sold to Liu Lang
Doesn't count as "".
Schmidt was thinking about it, but did not show it, and then changed the topic: "Jimmy, this is your first time coming to Munich. This city has a long history. Why don't I take you to have a good tour to express your gratitude?"
You gave me the concert tickets back then."
Schmidt changed the topic, and Liu Lang guessed the other party's thoughts in an instant. This was just a negotiation skill, the so-called play hard to get. Of course, business cannot be concluded in a day.
Schmidt is just the CEO, a professional manager, and there is a board of directors behind him. Although the price of Rover's equipment is nothing compared to the entire company, it costs at least tens of millions of dollars, or even more than
It's possible, and it involves technology transfer. Schmidt still has to meet with the board members first, but Liu Lang can see that Schmidt is interested in his proposal. This is a good thing. There is a possibility of continuing the discussion.
.
Liu Lang nodded.
"I personally like Germany very much. When I came to Germany, you were still West Germany and East Germany. I said at that time that sooner or later the two Germanys would be reunified. As a result, I was really right about the subsequent development.
In one year you have become a complete country again. This is the first time I have come to a complete Germany. Of course I have to take a walk. First
After hearing what Liu Lang said, Schmidt was shocked.
"Jimmy, I almost forgot if you didn't tell me. Yes, you said in front of everyone in your speech that we would be reunited soon. I also expressed my gratitude, but I felt it was really difficult at the time.
We were not strong enough in front of the Soviet Union, but we didn’t expect that the Soviet Union would disintegrate a year later. Haha, what a surprise. The reunification of our two Germanys was completely guessed by Jimmy. Jimmy, you are still a great prophet!"
The Germans present were of course very happy when it came to the reunification of the two Germanys. Schmidt told Liu Lang's prophecy back then, and everyone's favorable impression of him immediately improved a lot.
Liu Lang chatted with the other party very speculatively, all about Shengtang Company, such as what movies will be made next year, songs recently released, etc. Now the male idol group has released another album, and there is a song in it.
The song is very popular in Europe, and it has topped the charts in several countries including the UK, Germany, and France. The name of the song is "Long Live Life" in Spanish.
This song is a rock song. It is very exciting and high-pitched, making the listener feel inexplicably excited. Moreover, the lyrics describe the dynasty changes in European history. It is very heavy and can resonate with Europeans.
.
Now Shengtang Company is also intentionally guiding the transformation of the male god group, from the original Shu Qing songs to rock music. Of course, it is not the kind of heavy metal songs. There are many more genres in the world's pop music scene. For example, rap music is gradually starting from a niche.
Going to the public, Shengtang Company is also starting to
I changed and looked for new leaders. For example, two years ago I signed a black guy named and customized an album for him. For the first time, Liu Lang was not involved in the album, but the album was released pretty well, although it was not the same as Liu Lang.
The number of participants was much lower, but Liu Lang was still "valued" by him.
Of course, this person will become one of the top five rappers in American history in the future. He doesn’t need Liu Lang’s help at all. Now he is just a young man who loves rap songs. After receiving Liu Lang’s strong support, he was really flattered. Shengtang also gave him
He has enough resources to build his own brand and even set up a company.
This treatment is incredible for an artist who has just entered the entertainment industry.
Schmidt and other BMW executives may not be considered elites, but they are no less interested in hexagrams than ordinary people. They chatted endlessly. Liu Lang patiently answered them one by one. Everyone in the entire entertainment industry in the United States knew about it, and at least they could.
To give you a rough idea, Shengtang knows his own artists very well, including Michael Jackson, "
"Puff Daddy" and so on. Another executive also asked about the "Brother Long" in Hong Kong Island. Obviously "Brother Long" already has some reputation in the Western world. Of course, Liu Lang cannot say anything involving personal privacy.
Things, he just picked some things that ordinary people don't know and are not important.
The scene suddenly became Liu Lang's press conference. Wang Zhendong, Yang Yong and others were completely reduced to "passers-by". They were listening to Liu Lang's "talking with the Confucian scholars" by himself. They didn't know what Liu Lang was talking about.
, but the German side couldn't stop laughing, as if hearing other people's stories was their greatest pleasure.
In China, everyone promotes relationships through drinking and eating, but now, Liu Lang uses an "alternative" way to close the distance between the two parties.
