Chapter 1339 Arrogant old man
The old man didn't answer the phone, looked at Zhang Yanming with a smile, took out a snow coffee, took out a handful of cigars, and slowly started trimming it.
Zhang Yanming held the phone and stared at the old man for a minute before letting go.
This old man is indeed quite arrogant. Although he and his grandfather and the founder of Fiat used the same name (foreigners seem to like naming this way very much, it is very simple), they obviously do not have the talent of his grandfather.
Fiat has been struggling in recent years, using profits from other places to fill the increasingly larger holes of automobile companies.
The Fiat Automobile mentioned here is not the Fiat Group, but a separate automobile company with all its automobile brands.
But at this moment, like Claisler and Dodge do not belong to Fiat. It only has Fiat, Masala, Ferrari, Lancia and Alfa Romeo, Ottobianci, and Iveco.
New Holland is still an independent company now.
"Six billion." The old man suddenly said a number.
"Um?"
"Six billion meter knife, 80% of the shares of Fiat Automobile Company."
Zhang Yanming stared at the old man and frantically flirted with memories. It's true that Fiat is too niche for us, and we really don't know much about it.
In 2001, Fiat. It seems that Fiat Automobile is a bit bad in recent years. It has invited two legends of GE, Paul and Welch, to serve in a row, hoping to regain their strength.
Did Paul join the company in 1998 or 1999? Welch was invited by Paul later. Two old men, who were almost seventy years old, got their high pensions from GE and came here to rejuvenate for a second time.
I really can't remember anything else. These memories are because Paul and Welch are so famous that there are large reports in China.
But in general, the stupidest analysis is that Fiat has had a hard time in the past two years, I just don’t know how far it has reached.
Six billion meter sword, 80% of it. Why is it eighty?
Zhang Yanming felt that his head was a little too small, and this was the first time he encountered this situation. In fact, it was too unfamous here.
Paul, Welch...universal,universal.
How come I am, is it related to GM? That twenty is in GM's hands? It seems that it is possible, the vague feeling should be like this.
It seemed that there was a Fiat General Union or an alliance. Later, the old man died, and his grandson took office and dissolved the alliance again. It seemed that he had also obtained compensation from General Union.
It seems that General Motors bought the twenty shares and didn't give enough money. Is it? It seems that there was a problem with Opel, which led to General Motors losing money. In recent years, the automobile industry has been having problems.
Fortunately, we don’t have any automobile industry and don’t have such troubles. Thinking about it this way, hey? It’s quite comfortable.
No. Alliance shouldn't just General Motors buy Fiat's shares, it should be two-way, right?
"GM's money has been paid? GM's shares... You didn't seem to mention them, don't you count them in?"
The old man looked at Zhang Yanming seriously for the first time, and then he looked like he was shrugging his eyebrows and lit the cigar.
"This is the problem later. If you want to buy a Fiat car, 80% of the 6 billion yuan. GM will solve it yourself... As agreed, he has the right of first refusal.
Let’s talk about six percent of GM’s shares after you solve General Motors. It doesn’t make much sense to say it now.”
"Three billion, plus six percent of GM. No, this six percent is your replacement condition. GM." Zhang Yanming took out his phone and called Piesi without caring about the time.
"open?"
"It's me. I'll ask you, do you know what GM is doing now?"
Like Fiat, GM is both a comprehensive group, and what we are talking about here are automobile companies.
"GM? It doesn't seem very good now. Opel is like a hole, making GM frustrated. Did you suddenly mention this?"
Opel was established earlier than Mercedes-Benz, but he produced sewing machines and bicycles, and his products were sold throughout Ome. In 1899, he built the first car, only three years later than Mercedes-Benz and Daimler.
Then soon he developed his own engine based on Mercedes-Benz and Daimler.
Then he created countless firsts in Prussian automobile history, and until 29 years, for some reason, or perhaps out of distrust of the government, Opel sold the automobile company to GM.
By 71, it had sold 10 million cars.
Opel not only brought automotive technology to GM, but also brought great profits to GM. It lasted until 1999. Opel's 100th birthday, and produced a total of 50 million cars.
In fact, Opel has always been in development and blood transfusion functions in general enterprises. It has been in a loss since the 1990s. However, from Buick to Cadillac, it has always been inseparable from Opel's platform development.
However, with the fluctuation of the entire rice economy, Opel's losses increased and eventually was resold by General Motors.
At that time, people said that General Motors had drained the last little value of Opel.
Zhang Yanming couldn't remember the time very clearly, but he vaguely knew the past.
But it can be confirmed that General Motors really couldn't turn over, and later the alliance ended and chose to compensate, and both sides took back their shares.
"Let's talk about it later." Zhang Yanming replied and hung up the phone, tapped his fingers on the table: "Mr. Ah Naili, we are not secretly speaking, we will solve the problem on the other side.
You...you say the exact number, I can take all the Fiat cars, but it also includes six percent of the general ones."
"Six billion. If you can find out the news, you should know that 20% of the 20% that General Motors gets are worth 2.4 billion."
"You are replacing, I am acquiring, will General Motors care about your debts and losses? How much will he give you the next 80%? Two billion or four billion?"
"Six billion. Fiat Auto will give you all its assets, including some related industries, patents and shared technology parts."
Hiss... This old man is quite stubborn.
No, I just came to talk about a VM, why did it become an acquisition? It also became a must-buy?
"Uh, Mr. Ah Naili, it seems we are here to talk about VM companies, why has it suddenly become a topic of acquisition? I have no plans to acquire Fiat Auto. You can talk to Wolfburg, or wait for General Motors. OK?"
"We have started negotiating an acquisition. If you ask me to make a quote, I will also report it to you, and you don't even need to provide proof of funding."
This is still dependent on it.
"Okay, three billion, I don't want any more. I can't afford it, okay?"
"You are not as fierce as you negotiate, and this does not comply with the minimum business rules."
"I don't have money, only so much, okay? Master, let's talk about VMs?"
"father's elder brother?" The old man repeated Zhang Yanming's English version of the old man, and a smile came out from the corner of his mouth: "Including the VM, there are some things you don't know, inside."
The old man raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Yanming through the fog of the cigar: "Four billion. Otherwise, there is no need to talk about the VM. Anyway, Fiat will not agree to anything he does."
VM belongs to United Holdings, and half of the company is so bad that no one can convince anyone. Everything has to be discussed and argued.
This makes the party who wants something forever at a disadvantage, but has no choice.
