MTL - Rebirth in a Perfect Era-Chapter 1729 Run after loading
Little Bill Ford didn't expect that Li Mu actually said to leave.
As soon as he slandered this buddy's tricks in his heart, this buddy put a big trick directly.
Although everyone is not so happy, but anyway, it is also a business negotiation. Bill Ford Jr. is ready to fight with Li Mu for a few days. As a result, Li Mu came up and bombarded, hitting hundreds of bases in one breath. Then turn around and leave?
How can there be such a thing!
Bill Ford Jr. felt like he had a fight with someone, but the other party came over and slapped him, then turned away.
Damn it!
Li Mu did not follow the rules of the card at all and suddenly made Bill Ford jumbled.
Not to mention the chaos that Li Mu has mingled with, even if there is no chaos, Li Mu's sudden move cannot be carried.
Just when Bill Ford Jr. was at a loss, Li Mu stood up, winked at Chen Ze and Li Ziwei, and then pointed to Elon Musk, and said to Bill Ford Jr., "Mr. Ford, follow-up Please talk directly to Musk, he and his team know more about cars than I do. "
"But ..." Bill Ford Jr said reluctantly, "General Li, isn't it going to be a few days for Google to go public? Why can't we sit down and talk about specific acquisition issues?"
Li Mu said with a look of regret: "For the automotive industry, what I know, what I know, what I know have all told you, what can we talk about when we sit down? Could it be that you and me Talking about the Internet? "
Young Bill Ford froze, what you said, pretend to run away, can you speak more gently? The core members of the Ford family are here, I shameless?
At this time, Bill Ford Jr can't continue to stay, he can only stand up and say, "General Manager Li. In this case, I will send you off."
Li Mu waved his hand and laughed: "You don't have to be polite, Mr. Ford, we can go by ourselves without delaying you to talk about business."
After speaking, Li Mu directly waved at the people in the conference room and stepped out of the conference room.
Li Ziwei has been with Li Mu for a long time. She knows Li Mu's style of work, so she was not surprised or hesitant. She followed Li Mu and walked out. Only Chen Ze hadn't looked back.
what the hell? The key is that his English is not as good as Li Mu's. What they talked about just now, he understood about 70%, and the rest depended on guessing.
Seeing that Li Ziwei was gone, he chased out in a hurry, and asked Li Mu in a haze: "Old Li, what if he left?"
Li Mu laughed: "You can't give him a chance to pretend, just kick him like an ant, and let the rest go to Elon Musk to talk to him."
Chen Ze lamented: "You are too hard to bargain, hitting 5 billion US dollars in one breath, this money may not be enough for Ford to buy Volvo ..."
Li Mu said indifferently: "Buying things at bargain prices can't be a little grind with the seller. The more you wear, the more you want, and the more passive you are. With a knife, if you can accept everyone, just sit down and talk about the details, even if you ca n’t accept it. "
Chen Ze couldn't help asking: "Aren't you afraid he'll reject you directly?"
Li Mudao: "When I flickered, he was white flickered for a long time? He must now have 10,000 in his heart to sell. These three things were originally hot potato. By my flickering, he became a hot ball in his eyes. . "
Chen Ze smiled: "In case this person is very strong, just don't sell it? Then you are not going to miscalculate?"
Li Mu smiled confidently and said, "It's all about this. It's impossible to not sell. This person is a bit greedy, but not stupid."
Then, Li Mu said, "Let's go, we'll go to Boston."
"Going to Boston?" Chen Ze asked puzzledly, "Isn't it going to New York?"
Li Mu laughed: "Bill Ford Jr. is right. Google still has a few days to ring the bell. Now I have nothing to do in New York. My childhood friend is still at Harvard, and I also voted for a Harvard guy. I made a social networking site for college students, and this time it happened. "
Chen Ze suddenly realized that Su Yingxue was studying at Harvard University.
When Li Mu and his party rushed to the airport, the crew had applied for a take-off permit to fly to Boston.
On the way, Chen Ze still had some regrets, saying: "It was so hard to come to Detroit Dearborn. I didn't even visit the Ford factory. It's a shame!"
Li Mu laughed: "In the future, there will be opportunities. After the three brands win, you will have four factories to take turns to visit."
Chen Ze asked wonderingly, "Why are there four? Not three?"
Li Mu said: "Jaguar Land Rover is in the UK, Volvo is in Sweden, but Land Rover also has a factory in the United States. Musk said this before, do you forget?"
Chen Ze grinned: "I don't speak English so well, I guess I can get to know it when I write it. If I listen, it will be 60% to 70%."
Li Mu nodded and said, "Anyway, the four factories are right. I won't stop you if you want to live there."
Chen Ze asked: "In case, I mean just in case, what if this doesn't work out? Do you have an alternative?"
Li Mu shook his head: "Where's the alternative?"
Li Mu said seriously: "But let me be honest, now the market of the automotive industry, you want to buy Japanese car brands is definitely enough, but if you want to buy European non-German brands, American brands, it is very easy, really No, we can also buy Cadillac, jeep or Alfa Romeo. These brands are now losing a lot of money and will be more serious in the future. "
For the automotive industry, if the industry as a whole is down and its brand is not doing well enough, then those days can really be described as arduous.
As long as you do n’t want to shut down an automobile brand, you have to keep the factory running, suppliers have to buy parts, their production lines have to be up, and workers have to be busy. Otherwise, once they are shut down and their personnel are disbanded, it ’s difficult to restart. Ascend the sky.
However, to keep the production line running, we need to invest money. Each of the raw materials, spare parts, workers' salaries, and management costs is a huge cost. This money is thrown into the production of one car after another, but the car is unmanned. Wenjin, in this way, there are more and more stock cars, and the losses are getting bigger and bigger. If you haven't taken the next home to take an order, it will really become a bottomless pit.
Some auto companies look very glorious. Fixed assets are worth billions of dollars each. However, they may also have bank loans and supplier loans that have owed years of losses. Actual net assets may not even have 100 million dollars.
Otherwise, the classic automobile companies that have been in the business for hundreds of years will not be merged and acquired by the Big Automobile Group, and then re-integrated and rejuvenated by the reputation, technology, resources and channels of the Big Automobile Group.
These brands that can be acquired by the Big Automobile Group are still pretty good. Those brands that even the Big Automobile Group can't see are really miserable. For example, Guanzhi, a billion yuan in a year, and a bunch of people buried their heads. After working for many years, the total debt was even greater than the total assets. For several years, I lost money for hundreds of dollars. I do n’t know how many times I can go around the earth ...
At this time, Chen Ze looked at the time and said, "It has been more than half an hour since I came out. Would you like to ask Musk, where have they gone now?"
Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "Don't ask, it's still going on, but Bill Ford Jr will definitely not dare to reject Musk directly, otherwise Musk will definitely contact me."
If according to Bill Ford Jr., 5 billion is definitely not sold, then Musk must leave at most ten minutes after Li Mu left, because he has no right to change the final offer of Li Mu, and this offer cannot be made by Bill Ford Jr. Accept, then we have no choice but to dismiss.
But since half an hour has passed and Elon Musk has no news, it proves that he must still be arguing with Bill Ford Jr. now.
In fact, there is nothing to talk about on the price. Li Mu did not give Bill Ford Jr. any bargaining space. The only thing that can be rife is details. The details must be based on Bill Ford Jr.'s acceptance of the $ 5 billion offer. .
Li Mu and his party arrived at the airport ~ www.novelbuddy.com ~ Because the approved departure time was more than an hour, everyone passed the security check and boarded the plane in advance to rest while waiting for takeoff.
While waiting, Li Mu called Su Yingxue. During this time, she didn't meet. The number of conversations between the two was not too much. Not only was Li Mu too busy everyday, but jet lag was also a difficult problem.
Su Yingxue had just finished her course at this time, and was on her way back to the dormitory. She received a phone call from Li Mu. She was always indifferent. She couldn't help but ask a little surprise: "How do you have time to call me today?"
Li Mu laughed: "Just finished talking to a company about cooperation and then hurried to the airport. Now I'm waiting for take-off. The take-off time is relatively long, waiting more than an hour."
Su Yingxue snorted softly, and said, "I was bored before thinking of calling me?"
Li Mu said with a smile: "Why don't you care about which airport I'm in and where I'm going next?"
Su Yingxue could not help asking: "Where are you going? Is it coming to the United States?"
Li Mu said with a smile, "I'm already in the United States, now in Detroit."
Su Yingxue asked in surprise: "When did you come? Why did you go to Detroit?"
Li Mu said: "I said it was about cooperation. I arrived this morning, and I am going to take off to Boston."
Then, Li Mu looked at the time and said, "It's more than five o'clock in the afternoon. I expect to fly at seven o'clock and land at 8.40. Would you like to wait for me to have dinner?"
Su Yingxue's voice suddenly excited, and asked in surprise: "Aren't you kidding me? Are you really in Detroit? Are you coming to Boston?"
"Of course." Li Mu said, "I arrived late. You should eat something to make up for yourself, don't wait for me hungry."
Su Yingxue determined that Li Mu was not joking, and immediately rejoiced, "Okay, then I'll wait for you!"
