Wang Xueqin was communicating with the Fiat Group in Turin about Maserati. As a result, before she was done, Li Yuhang asked her to learn about a VM diesel engine company.
Having no other choice, she hurriedly ended the first round of communication with Fiat and immediately rushed to Jia Weinuo.
The above sentence means a broken leg below. Wang Xueqin is running hard here, while Li Yuhang has left Rome and arrived in Munich, where BMW's headquarters is located in Germany.
Yue Wanrou's suggestion is good. He came to meet with BMW executives in person this time to see if he could take over the entire Luofu Company. It was really difficult to do, so he might as well join forces with Ford. Then BMW would like to wait and see if it was done like this.
There would be no chance for profit.
The history of BMW can be traced back to the former Kingdom of Bavaria in the German Empire. It was originally called the Bavarian Engine Manufacturing Company. It was the first to manufacture aircraft rather than cars.
Compared with companies such as Fiat Ford, BMW is much younger, and the government controls part of the shares of several major German automobile groups, which also eliminates the possibility of any external acquisition of these groups.
Regardless of Volkswagen, BMW, or even Mercedes-Benz, they are not purely private companies. Although the government does not intervene in management, the major groups will never want to move their headquarters or registration place.
When talking about BMW, we have to mention the Frame family, which is well-known in the upper class of Germany. This family, which has been in business for more than 100 years, owns a huge industrial group. BMW is one of them. The Frame family is the largest shareholder of BMW.
, and also in charge of this huge automobile group.
Moreover, the Boxte family, like many of the world's top families, is low-key and mysterious. They generally do not accept interviews or expose themselves to the public.
Conservative and traditional, they will not interfere excessively with the management of the company by their senior executives, and decentralize power to their senior executives, which also makes the development of their industries very stable.
Li Yuhang's financial performance can make the Delong family look at him, but he can't stand on the stage in front of the Jiote family.
Because the business to be discussed this time was a big deal, the Frame family and the BMW Group paid considerable attention to it. At the BMW headquarters, the person who received Li Yuhang and his party was Susan Clayten, one of the heirs of the Frame family. She is also a Frame member.
The daughter of the previous generation of family leaders is currently the vice chairman of the BMW Group, and the chairman is her mother.
Although she is a woman, Susan Clayten's business talent has been recognized by the entire family, otherwise she would not have been able to force her brother to take control of the BMW Group.
As one of the top families in Germany and even Europe, the Boxer family has more information about Li Yuhang. Although Li Yuhang's strength is far from that of the Boxer family, his potential is very good.
Therefore, when Li Yuhang came to the BMW Group headquarters, Susan Clayten was ready to meet this Eastern business legend in person.
The Converse Group's industries include not only BMW, Daimler-Benz, Mauser, and Bavarian Steel, but also chemicals and finance.
He wanted to see if there were more opportunities for cooperation between the two parties this time. If it was just Luofu Automobile, she would not come forward in person.
Susan was not surprised by Li Yuhang's young appearance. She already knew his age from the information. Although it was indeed amazing to start from scratch and build such a big business, it was acceptable.
There are so many geniuses in the world, and Li Yuhang is just one of the lucky ones. In the eyes of these top families, Li Yuhang's rise is just a good time to catch up with the policy reform of that mysterious country. If it were not for some restrictions on foreign investment like them, there would be no chance of success.
There is no chance for Li Yuhang to rise.
And they are not worried at all that Li Yuhang will pose too great a threat to them when he grows stronger. Unlike other families like theirs, the place where Li Yuhang is located does not have the final say of capital, it is a country where power comes first.
It would be fine if Li Yuhang just made money honestly. If Li Yuhang had any extraneous ideas, he would probably be severely suppressed soon.
"Mr. Li, I am very glad that you can come to Munich and come to our BMW headquarters. This is your country's West Lake Longjing tea. Please try it, Mr. Li, to see if this is the authentic West Lake Longjing tea."
"Mrs. Clayten, I personally am not an expert in tea ceremony. I really haven't done much research on this thing. I don't know whether it is true or false. I'm afraid I will disappoint you."
Li Yuhang said this quite calmly. He did not feel ashamed or embarrassed at all. He had never regarded himself as a nobleman. Whether it was tea or wine, he would not study it specially, and he did not need to
Rely on these to gain the approval of others.
Susan was also very calm. Li Yuhang grew up in a rural area and has been busy with his own industries in the past few years. How could he study these things that have little practical effect? His inquiry was just to test the other party.
From the perspective of the real top, those so-called aristocratic etiquette have no effect at all, especially at the level they are at. She will not easily sell Luofu Company to Li Yuhang just because Li Yuhang is good at tea ceremony, and the other party will not easily sell Luofu Company to Li Yuhang just because she understands aristocratic etiquette.
If possible, we will increase cooperation with the BMW Group.
In the final analysis, it all comes down to profit. As long as Li Yuhang's price is high enough, there will be no problem in selling Luofu Company to Li Yuhang.
If she can come up with a price that makes Li Yuhang's heart beat, then it is not impossible for the BMW Group to replace Nissan Group's position in the Canaan series.
Why Nissan was able to overpower BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, General Motors, Ford, Toyota and other groups to become the strategic partner of the Canaan series is not because Nissan is stronger than these groups, but mainly because the Yasuda family behind Nissan has come up with interests that make Li Yuhang's heart beat.
As one of the heirs of the Boxer family, Susan looks down on many aristocratic families in Western Europe. Many families are almost too poor to take the blame. They still hold on to the idea of being superior to others. No matter what era it is now, a noble title has
What's the use, you have no rights, no money, no money.
"I know that Mr. Li came to Munich mainly for Luofu Company, so I wonder what kind of price Mr. Li can give?"
"I came to the BMW headquarters in person this time with great sincerity. Currently, I am willing to bid 3 billion US dollars for the entire Luofu company. This is also the final price given by Stonebridge Fund. If Mrs. Clayten is still not satisfied,
Then all I can say is regret."
How could Susan accept this offer? It was far lower than their inner expectations. You must know that they spent more than one billion U.S. dollars when they acquired Luofu Company. In the past few years, they have invested more than two billion U.S. dollars in it, not to mention making money.
, this at least cannot make BMW lose money.
"Mr. Li, the Ford Group has already offered US$2.7 billion for Luofu's off-road brand and technology alone. You only offered US$3 billion for the entire Luofu company. It's hard for me to feel your sincerity in this regard."
Li Yuhang didn't know whether the Ford guy really paid such a high price, but he was almost at the limit of what he could bear. If he couldn't get even 3 billion US dollars, he was ready to give up the Rover Company directly.
Anyway, there are already spare tires in Italy. If it is really impossible to take down VM Company, plus Fiat's Maserati design department and brand, he can also pull up a car company. At the worst, he can talk to the Volvo Group and see.
Can we take down Volvo Cars?
"If this is the case, it can only be said to be a pity. I came today to see the headquarters of a world-renowned automobile group, and also to inform us of the final decision of Stonebridge Fund.
If Mrs. Clayten changes her mind later, and our Stone Bridge Fund does not have a car company yet, then Madam can contact Miss Wang Xueqin, and I will leave first."
Susan was quite speechless when she saw Li Yuhang leaving. There was no way to talk about business like this. This was clearly a last-minute notice. If you agree, you will sign the contract. If you don't agree, they will break up.
