It was calm in the morning, the sun was shining brightly, there were few clouds, and there were not many pedestrians on the road.
This is a perfectly normal North American weekend.
But if you observe carefully, you will still find something different. Some Wall Street elites who want to take advantage of the weekend to take a good rest did not take a rest today. They still got up early, but they used to wear suits and ties, but now they wear ordinary sportswear.
The only purpose for these people to get up early is that yesterday Chu Huan's North American Jiaku officially competed with the Ford family's Ford Motor Company.
Before yesterday, it could only be regarded as Chu Huan's North American AKU attacking unilaterally, while the Ford family did not take any action at all.
But with yesterday's statement, things began to change.
As soon as the Ford family took action, people felt the control of Ford Motor by the Ford family. When Chu Huan announced the convening of the Ford Motor shareholders meeting as the major shareholder, Ford II announced that he would leave North America and go to Switzerland!
No one would think that Ford II was hiding out when he left.
The only explanation for this incident is that Ford II was revealing a piece of information to the outside world.
Even though you Chu Huan are having so much fun, we don't take you seriously at all.
Don’t you want to convene a shareholders’ meeting?
Don’t you want to be on the board of directors?
No chance!
As long as our Ford family doesn't agree, there will be no hope for you, Chu Huan.
Everyone thought that Chu Huan would take over the move from the Ford family yesterday and continue to make moves.
As a result, until the evening yesterday, Chu Huan's side did not respond, which made many people disappointed.
I thought Chu Huan was just calling Huan, but now that the Ford family takes action, Chu Huan has nothing to do.
In fact, it was not just those on Wall Street who thought so, but even Zheng Juyong who was far away in South Korea thought so after receiving a real-time call from Zheng Mongxian.
"It seems that the time for Chu Huan to apologize to us is not far away!"
After putting down the phone, Zheng Zhouyong proudly preached to his son Zheng Mengjiu.
"From the very beginning when Chu Huan chose to be our enemy, his failure was already doomed."
Zheng Mengjiu complimented.
After listening to this, Zheng Zhouyong became even happier and said with a smile, "Very good. Next, you have to study the real estate market in Xiangjiang. This time, you must let Chu Huan give up part of the Zhulu Commercial Center project."
Give us modern construction!"
Zheng Zhouyong now has a clear goal for Chu Huan's business in Xiangjiang.
He wants part of the construction rights of Chu Huan Zhulu Commercial Center, and Zheng Zhouyong's ambitions don't stop there.
"In addition, let's do a careful study on Chu Huan's business in Southeast Asia. We will use Chu Huan's channels to expand the sales of our Pony Cars in Southeast Asia!"
Zheng Mengjiu nodded quickly and said, "I understand, please don't worry, father!"
Now that Zheng Mengxian is still in school in North America, Zheng Mengjiu understands that if he wants to leave a better impression on his father, he must perfectly complete the tasks he assigned.
"Now we're just waiting for the results from North America!" Zheng Zhouyong leaned comfortably on the sofa and said with a smile.
It was a calm morning here in North America. At noon, just when everyone thought the day would end like this, at three o'clock in the afternoon, David Maxwell, general manager of North America A Library, went on TV and accepted
Economic news interviews.
This news spread quickly on Wall Street like a tornado. At the same time, people in other places who were paying attention to this matter also turned on the TV for the first time, wanting to see what Chu Huan was doing in North America at this time.
What exactly does the spokesperson have to say?
Michigan, Ford Estate!
Ford II has left North America, so today the people watching the news on TV in the manor are the uncle and nephew William Ford and Bill Ford.
As for Ford Motor's general manager Philip Caldwell, he did not come over, but was at his home. After all, he did not know that North American Aku would suddenly issue a statement at this time.
"Bill, what do you think of this matter?"
David Maxwell hasn't officially been interviewed on TV yet, so William Ford asked Bill Ford for his opinion.
The Ford family is different from other plutocratic families, at least they seem to be harmonious within the family.
And now Bill Ford is the eldest son of the fourth generation of their Ford family. No matter what, he must be trained with emphasis.
19-year-old Bill Ford was wearing an Adidas sportswear and had a tennis racket next to his sofa. He had obviously just finished playing tennis.
At this time, he was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, his expression revealed a relaxed look, and he said, "It's just that he wants to take advantage of my father's absence in North America to come up with a trick to catch us off guard!"
William Ford was quite satisfied with Bill Ford's answer. He thought the same way and said calmly, "Then what methods do you think they will use?"
It is actually easy to guess why the statement was issued during this time period, but the content of the statement is not so easy to guess.
Bill Ford shook his head and said, "I haven't guessed this yet, but I don't think I need to guess it. In fact, from the beginning, Chu Huan had no chance of winning. No matter what he did, it was all in vain.
That’s all!”
Like everyone else, Bill Ford was confident in his family's control of Ford Motor Company.
"Yes!" William Ford nodded, picked up a cigar on the table next to him, and after clipping off the root of the cigar, he smiled relaxedly, "No matter what means Chu Huan uses, it's all in vain, but I
You can guess what he wanted to do by letting David Maxwell appear on TV this time."
Bill Ford asked "What to do?"
"It should be to allow him to join the company's board of directors tomorrow to add more chips, such as announcing an increase in the acquisition of company shares!"
William Ford's calm sermons.
After thinking for a moment, Bill Ford said, "That's all he can do!"
The two uncles and nephews were talking, and the news interview on TV had already begun.
The host is a female host. She was a very famous financial host in North America in the 1970s. She has short short hair and brown OL clothes, and looks very capable.
Max Channing!
This is the name of this female host!
The setting inside the TV is very simple, with a table and two chairs, with David Maxwell and Max Channing sitting respectively.
"Mr. David Maxwell"
"Miss Channing, my friends all call me David!" David Maxwell said with a smile.
"My friends also want to call me Max!" Max Channing also smiled.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Max Channing began to cut to the chase and asked David Maxwell with a smile, "David, I think recently, Wall Street, New York, and even all of North America are paying attention to your company's involvement in Ford Motor Company."
Acquisition of Eucalyptus, according to the information we have received, the reason why North America Acu acquired Ford Motor was because of the personal grudge between the chairman of North America Aku and South Korea's Hyundai Group. Is this true?"
"Of course it's not true!"
David Maxwell directly denied this rumor. Even if it is true, we cannot say that it is true now, otherwise it will challenge the sensitivities of North Americans too much.
"Actually, I have heard about what you said, Max, but I hope everyone can analyze this matter rationally. If it is just because of Mr. Chu's grievances with Hyundai Group, does Mr. Chu need to
How about using more than one billion dollars to acquire a stake in Ford Motor Company?
And this acquisition is not over yet. Just based on the current stock price of Ford Motor, if we want to get the equity of Ford Motor, we will need at least US$3 billion.
A total of more than 4 billion U.S. dollars was spent to get angry with a South Korean Hyundai Group?
I don’t know much about the South Korean consortium, and I would like to ask, does the market value of the entire Hyundai Group have this much money?”
Hearing David Maxwell's words, Max Channing smiled, and some people who were paying attention to this matter also smiled. As David Maxwell said, does the market value of Hyundai Group have so much money?
?
But not everyone in front of the TV was amused by David Maxwell's slightly disdainful joke.
For example, Zheng Shiyong and Zheng Mongxian were watching the news in the hotel.
Zheng Shiyong was so angry that he threw the mineral water bottle in his hand to the ground.
Who are you looking down on!
Such disdain was a naked insult to both of them.
"Record this news, and when it is over, arrange for someone to deliver it to your father as soon as possible!" After Zheng Shiyong vented his anger, he said to Zheng Mengxian.
"This Chu Huan obviously hasn't realized his mistake yet. When he comes to beg us in the future, you must let your father deal with him properly!"
Listening to Zheng Shiyong's words, Zheng Mengxian also nodded seriously.
On TV, the conversation between David Maxwell and Max Channing continues.
Max Channing "I just noticed, David, you did not deny that Mr. Chu Huan has any grudges with Hyundai Group?"
David Maxwell said with a smile, "There is nothing to deny, and Mr. Chu Huan has never concealed this. After all, the fault of the whole thing is not ours, but entirely caused by the other party!"
Max Channing showed an interested expression and asked, "Really? I wonder if it would be convenient for you, David, to tell us about this?"
"Of course!" David Maxwell adjusted his sitting posture, and then continued, "The cause of everything was actually caused by Zheng Mengzhun, the son of Zheng Juyong, the chairman of Hyundai Group, who broke into Mr. Chu Huan's house privately."
David Maxwell then recounted the grievances between Chu Huan and the Zheng family of Hyundai Group. Only the time when the villa in Los Angeles belonged to Chu Huan was changed, and the others were not changed.
"broken!"
Hearing David Maxwell tell what happened on TV, Zheng Mengxian immediately said worriedly.
Zheng Shiyong looked at Zheng Mengxian in confusion and asked, "What's wrong? Even if Mengxian accidentally entered Chu Huan's villa and just asked the person out, now it's Chu Huan who takes the initiative to beat him. No matter how you look at it, it's his fault."
First?"
"That's not how things look!" Zheng Mengxian said worriedly, "In North America, private residences are sacred and inviolable places. Let alone Chu Huan who had his sixth brother beaten, even if Chu Huan had someone shoot him at that time, it doesn't matter.
!”
"What the hell, is that so exaggerated?" Zheng Shiyong was stunned for a moment.
"It's such an exaggeration!" Zheng Mengxian said helplessly, "After this propaganda on TV, our Hyundai Group's reputation in North America has been ruined!"
On TV, David Maxwell has finished talking about the grievances between Chu Huan and the Zheng family, and then made his own summary.
"It is difficult for me to understand that the party who made the mistake in the first place did not think about how to obtain the other party's forgiveness, but relied on his family's influence in South Korea to block Mr. Chu Huan's business in South Korea. I should
Should I say that I don’t understand the domineering character of South Koreans, or should I say that there is no normal business and investment environment in South Korea?”
Listening to David Maxwell's murderous remarks on TV, both Zheng Shiyong and Zheng Zhouyong turned a little pale.
If it were other countries and other people saying these things, they wouldn't care at all.
But North America is different!
North America is the father of South Korea!
Now that some people are speaking ill of their fathers, it is conceivable that after the news of this interview is expanded over time, the entire North American business community will seriously consider the investment environment in South Korea.
As for North America, which is controlled by businessmen and capital, when their capital begins to have doubts about South Korea's investment environment, North America will also have doubts about South Korea's investment environment!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Such consequences are definitely not what the Park Chung-hee government of South Korea wants to see.
The two thought of this and looked at each other. Zheng Shiyong said, "We must find a way to prevent this interview from entering South Korea!"
"yes!"
Zheng Mengxian preached without any hesitation.
As long as this interview is known to more South Koreans, no matter who wins or loses in the war between Chu Huan and Ford Motor Company, Hyundai Group will definitely shed its skin!
Chu Huan, what a cruel heart!
Zheng Mengxian turned his attention to Zheng Mengxian on TV again, but a very model-looking man appeared in his mind. This man was naturally Chu Huan. He had only seen Chu Huan's photos, so the image of Chu Huan in his mind was very model-like.
lake.
Does he really not know the consequences of doing this?
He will completely lose the South Korean market!
For Zheng Shiyong and Zheng Mongxian, the interview clip was a disaster. For Max Channing, it was actually unimportant. It was also unimportant to those North Americans in front of the TV who were paying attention to the news.
They want to know more about the acquisition between North America and Ford!
Max Channing: "As David said, the acquisition of Ford Motor Company by North American Jiaku has nothing to do with the feud between Chu Huan and Hyundai Group, but it is undeniable that it was during the dispute between Chu Huan and Hyundai Group.
After the grievances, NAIKA started to acquire Ford Motor shares. What do you say about this matter?"
David Maxwell "acquired Ford Motor's stock because Ford Motor has an excellent history, and it is now the second largest automobile company in North America. I think for anyone who wants to enter the automobile industry, if
If possible, no one would give up the possibility of getting a Ford car, right?
As for the timing of the acquisition, it can only be said to be a coincidence. Mr. Chu Huan has always been very interested in Ford Motors. Even if that incident had not happened, Mr. Chu Huan would still choose to acquire Ford Motors during this time period.
of!"
Anyone with a discerning eye will know that this last sentence is nonsense, but there is no other way. Everything needs to be said.
Max Channing "David just said that Ford is the second largest car brand in the United States, but everyone understands that the Ford family implements a B-share policy for Ford Motor. This actually shows that they want to
The Difficulties of Acquiring Ford Motor Company.
In addition, our TV station also knows something about Mr. Chu Huan’s net worth. Even if Mr. Chu Huan wants to acquire General Motors, it is not impossible. Why should we focus on Ford Motor, which is second but most difficult to acquire?
Where is it on you?"
David Maxwell showed a smile and then said, "Maybe it's because Ford's market value is lower. To be honest, we don't think the acquisition of Ford is that difficult, at least it is easier than General Motors.
"
"Humph, I just don't know what to say!" Bill Ford is just a young man now. Watching David Maxwell comparing Ford Motors and General Motors on TV, he seems very unhappy!
William Ford was not too angry and consoled him, "There is nothing to be angry about. According to our investigation, this Chu Huan is a person who will seek revenge. Your father is planning to humiliate him at the Ford Motor Shareholders Meeting. Naturally, he wants to make himself
The people have come back, but after all, this is just an ordinary dispute of words. If we take it seriously, it will actually make us fall behind!"
Bill Ford's mentality became slightly calmer after being comforted by William Ford, but his dislike for Chu Huan increased exponentially.
On TV, Max Channing continued to ask.
"So, your company's acquisition of Ford Motor Company is inevitable?"
David Maxwell "Destined to Win!"
Max Channing "But according to the statement made by the Ford family yesterday, we can interpret that the other party is not even prepared to accept Chu Huan into the board of directors of Ford Motor. I think no matter how many shares of Ford Motor Co., Ltd. North America Aku has acquired now, it should be
Without the Ford family's voice in Ford Motors, and the fact that the Ford family has been running Ford Motors for so many years, the relationship is even more complicated. I think the possibility of Chu Huan wanting to join the Ford Motor board of directors is very slim. He can't even get into the board of directors.
What about acquisition?"
In front of the TV, everyone who didn't know Chu Huan's plan was sitting upright, watching David Maxwell on the TV seriously, because everyone knew that the meaty show was coming!
Sure enough, David Maxwell's next answer did not disappoint these people.
"Although the Ford family is now the largest shareholder of Ford Motor, to be honest, it is precisely because of this that Mr. Chu Huan wants to acquire Ford Motor, because Mr. Chu Huan believes that the Ford family can no longer support Ford Motor, a well-known company in North America.
The car brand."
The explosive answer made everyone in front of the TV very nervous. Is this Chu Huan's official declaration of war against the Ford family?
"David, your answer is very interesting. Can you tell us more about it?" Max Channing is also leading the topic to the answer that everyone wants to know!
In fact, even if Max Channing didn't ask this, David Maxwell would have said the reason, because this is one of the reasons why he was on TV today.
"It's very simple. Let's start with Hyundai Motor. We have already talked about the situation of Hyundai Group before. The leader of this group turned out to be a leader who does not respect North American laws. For such people, it is difficult for us to ensure that they can
Adhering to basic business rules, if such a situation occurs in the future, it will be the second most devastating blow to Ford Motor Company.
Secondly, regarding the attitude of the Ford family towards investors, we always believe that the business environment in North America is inclusive and open, allowing all investors to invest.
But this is not the case for the Ford family. They use B-shares to firmly control Ford Motor Company and cannot listen to any investors' suggestions.
In fact, before this, Mr. Chu just wanted to simply invest in Ford Motors, because Mr. Chu Huan understood that no one had the feelings of the Ford family towards Ford Motors.
But in the process of this acquisition, Mr. Chu Huan understood a truth, that is, excessive pampering cannot allow a company to grow healthily.
At this time, Mr. Chu Huan was already one of the major shareholders of Ford Motor Company, but from the beginning to the present, no one from the Ford family has taken the initiative to contact Mr. Chu Huan. Even when Mr. Chu Huan held the company's shareholders' meeting, Ford II
However, Mr. Shi chose to leave North America for Switzerland during this time period.
We don't know of anything more important in Switzerland than all of Ford's shareholders.
If this is the case, can we think that Mr. Ford II does not take Ford Motor’s shareholders into consideration at all?”
Snapped!
This time it was Bill Ford who threw away the Coke bottle in his hand!
"Confusing right and wrong, confusing right and wrong!" Bill Ford shouted loudly, "This Chu Huan is so abominable. He actually confuses himself with the shareholders of Ford Motor Company. He is slandering!"
Everyone knows that Ford II chose to leave North America at this time purely to make Chu Huan look bad, not to look down on Ford Motor's shareholders.
But now, after David Maxwell said this on TV, he directly misinterpreted the meaning of Ford II. Even those shareholders of Ford Motor Company who understand what Ford II did, will definitely not be happy at this time.
of!
"Cunning Orientals!" William Ford couldn't help but preach.
Max Channing on TV naturally couldn't hear the condemnation of William Ford and Bill Ford, but as a successful host, she keenly captured a key point in what David Maxwell just said.
"David just now said that cooperation with Hyundai Motor is Ford's second major loss. So what is the first major loss?"
Facing Max Channing's question, David Maxwell did not answer immediately this time, but showed a troubled expression.
But the more this expression appears, the more people want to know why.
William Ford in front of the TV looked at David Maxwell's expression, and his heart sank for no reason. He always felt that what David Maxwell was going to say next was very serious.
"Although we, North American Aku, are now the majority shareholders of Ford Motor, for the sake of more people holding Ford Motor stocks, we still feel that they have the right to know."
Well, with such an opening statement, everyone immediately knew that what David Maxwell was going to say next would definitely be a piece of bombshell news.
"I think many people know about Ford's previous development and production of Continental cars, right?"
Facing David Maxwell's inquiry, Max Channing nodded and said, "Of course I know. This car can be said to be Ford's most failed model in the past ten years!"
"Don't say it, don't let him say it!" William Ford, who was in front of the TV, couldn't help but stood up on the sofa and shouted loudly at the TV.
Bill Ford saw his uncle so frightened, and his expression also changed.
Naturally, David Maxwell on the TV couldn't hear William Ford's words and continued to say, "The Continental is Ford's biggest loss.
Although Ford Motor Company discloses its financial report to the board of directors and shareholders every year, I think friends in front of the TV still don’t know that just this one model has caused Ford Motor Company to lose more than 15% in the past two years.
It has reached US$100 million, and the losses are still continuing. This is why up to now, we have been able to continue to acquire Ford Motor shares on the stock market, but the Ford family has not made any move.
Because they no longer have enough liquidity to acquire Ford Motor stock!"
boom!
This news was like a bombshell, exploding directly in the ears of all the viewers in front of the TV!
The explosion made everyone feel dizzy. No one thought that such a thing would happen to a Ford car.
In fact, Ford Motor Company announced this financial report, but after it was announced, the Ford family immediately used their influence to reduce this influence.
This is not the future. If an announcement is posted online, everyone can see it. People who don't pay special attention to this stock will not pay attention to these things.
Even for people who pay attention to Ford Motor's stock, as long as they find ways not to be seen, not many people will see it.
But things are different now. David Maxwell spoke out about this matter under the spotlight.
This is equivalent to tearing off Ford's fig leaf.
The impact can be imagined.
"Call, call quickly!" William Ford stood there blankly and said to Bill Ford, "Call your father quickly and ask him to come back from Switzerland immediately. This matter must be resolved as soon as possible without any delay.
rise!"
