Chapter 169: Surprise Or Not, Gm's Despair!
Chapter 169: Surprise Or Not, Gm's Despair!
"About JEEP, you need to pay special attention!"
Suddenly, Tang Tian mentioned something.
"???"
Wei Jianjun, who hadn't recovered from his joy, trembled all over, feeling some bad feelings in his heart.
"the first thing."
"Jeep is headquartered in Highland Park, America."
"The Great Lakes region has always been the most important region in America. Although the acquisition of Jeep this time does not mean that everything has been resolved.
"When America comes to her senses, do you think they can make the Great Wall make money so easily?"
Staring at Wei Jianjun, the corner of Tang Tian's mouth showed a half-smile expression.
Laomei has always had a tradition of killing donkeys, and they are still Xiaguo enterprises, and they don't care about any rules.
"Young Master Tang, what do you mean..."
Wei Jianjun's heart was chilled by the words, and he looked at Tang Tian earnestly.
"It's very simple."
"What you eat in your stomach is your own."
"Establish a separate Jeep company in Xiaguo, and take all of Jeep's cards."
"If these things are available in Xiaguo, what interest does Mei have in Jeep?"
"I can't think of half a reason for them to act except to be bad guys in vain."
"clear!"
Hearing this, Wei Jianjun is also a treacherous and cunning person, how could he not keep the secret.
To put it bluntly, it is to wipe it out and turn the Jeep parent company here in America into a look-alike product, or to be on par with Xia Guo.
Only in this way, the real value of Jeep will be lost, and it will be fully integrated into the Great Wall Group.
"There is one person that you need to pay special attention to."
"Mike Manley, poach him from Chrysler and make him the CEO of JeeP."
"Give him full authority over the affairs of the Jeep company, and if necessary, Xia Guo's Jeep branch can also follow his management.
"This "823" is a talent, the key talent who can turn Jeep from a tasteless one to a treasure!"
With deep eyes, Tang Tian said meaningfully.
In later generations, Mike Manley became the CEO of Jeep in 2009, when Jeep's global sales exceeded 1.4 million, a 400% increase compared to 337,000 in 2008.
"yes.
Hearing this, Wei Jianjun secretly remembered the name in his heart.
July 14, 2008 at 9:00 am.
America, Degerit, MI.
A group of oriental faces walked out of the MGM Hotel, one of the only two five-star hotels here.
The SHIELD security personnel waiting at the door had already driven the Cadillac President One, stopped in front of Tang Tian, and opened the door.
"Master Tang."
"What are you?"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Wei Jianfeng was a little stunned.
He thought that Tang Tian would go with him to the Chrysler Automobile Company to negotiate, so he brought many people with him, but now it seems that it was his wishful thinking.
"I have more important things to do, let's go."
"Don't disappoint the motherland's expectations of you, I hope to hear good news from you.
After waving his hands, Tang Tian took Lin Yu into the Cadillac President No. 1 car, and the black convoy drove away in an instant.
Unlike Chrysler, which is headquartered in Highland Park, General Motors is headquartered in Degerit. The only 47-story building in the entire city of Degrit is the headquarters of General Motors, which is also the tallest building in Degerit.
Therefore, his destination is completely different from that of Wei Jianjun and his party.
"I"
Watching the convoy drifting away, Wei Jianjun moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.
Immediately, he reluctantly took the people of the Great Wall Group to Highland Park, hoping that everything would go as he wished.
"Pfft!"
Inside the Cadillac President No. 1 car, Lin Yu couldn't help covering his mouth and chuckling.
Young Master Tang is really too bad, he didn't tell others a long time ago, but he just said it temporarily when he was going out to negotiate today.
Is this not clearly intended to cause trouble for Wei Jianjun? I didn't see Wei Jianjun's sluggish face, how pitiful!
"Calm down!"
"It's not a weaned child who suffers from hardship every day."
"Star Investment is the largest shareholder of Great Wall Group, that's right."
"The fault is that Wei Jianjun's mentality obviously wants to 'grow the old', and I still expect him to make me more money?"
Glancing at Lin Yu, Tang Tian said angrily.
"Master Tang!"
"President Wei probably has no idea."
"I want you to come forward to sit in charge, after all, few domestic companies have enough acquisition cases with overseas.
"The last time Geely acquired Volvo, it was you who came forward to settle this matter."
A smile appeared on Lin Yuwen's quiet face, and she persuaded her.
"Personnel and price are all on the table."
"The trip was a signing ceremony at best.
"If he still can't do it, he might as well go home and nurse the child."
Raising his hand, Tang Tian expressed his disdain.
In order to help Great Wall acquire Jeep, Xingchen Investment has put in a lot of efforts, both openly and secretly, and what kind of people will be used to negotiate when it comes to critical situations.
The left and right are just to appease Chrysler, so as not to make people unhappy, this deal is not signed.
Seeing this, Lin Yu wisely closed his mouth, skipped this topic, and sat quietly by the side.
"correct."
"Have all the people from the Cadiwenxu family arrived?"
"How are they preparing?"
Tang Tian narrowed his eyes slightly and asked a question.
"Master Tang."
"People from the Cadison family have already set off."
"They should have arrived at GM headquarters before us."
"The Cardiff family has acquired more than 51% of the shares from the market, holding a relative controlling stake.
"And, they held a board meeting in the name of the largest shareholder."
Lin Yu immediately came to his senses and replied in a straightforward manner.
Lin Yu has always been in charge of the contact with the Cardiffenxu family, so of course he knows the situation.
heard the words.
Tang Tian, who was originally leaning on the seat, moved his body, with a sneer on his face: "I got 51% of the shares so quickly."
"It seems that the Cadvin Xu family has made a lot of money this time."
"Short first, then long, tsk tsk tsk, back and forth, at least more than 10 billion.
Before it fell, GM's market value was about US$50 billion, and its single share was US$36.7.
After July, GM's market value plummeted, falling below $3 per share, and it was on the verge of delisting.
The Cardiff family shorted General Motors at a high position and earned at least 30 dollars per share. With the size of the top ten families in the UK, it is impossible to make a small fuss. At least tens of billions of dollars have been invested to sell goods If you buy it again, this is a no-cost transaction, and you don't have to pay the principal yourself.
Compared to other families in England, Dean, the patriarch of the Cadison family, is indeed superior, second only to that old James Rothschild.
It's a pity that the Rothschild family has no successors, so they couldn't see this trick at all, so the old guy couldn't seize this opportunity in time.
The MGM Hotel is not far from the General Motors Building in the city center, only ten minutes away, when the motorcade stopped at the entrance of the building, Tang Tian stepped out of the car, looked at the pretty figure in front of him, and couldn't help being stunned.
"Tang Tian!"
"Surprise is not surprise, meaning is not surprise!"
Wearing a foreign dress, Alice appeared bouncing in front of Tang Tian like a Barbie doll, her green eyes staring straight at him.
Tang Tian rolled her eyes and said angrily, "Why are you here? Didn't you become your Countess of Buckingham in London?"
"What are you doing here? Experience the joy of the center of the storm?"
"Aren't you afraid that those brain-burning guys will catch you in exchange for a huge bounty?"
With the outbreak of the financial crisis, the top ten consortiums in England have transferred 3 trillion US dollars to enter the international financial market.
Especially the top ten consortiums in the United States immediately realized that England was definitely copying their old background, and how many people hated it.
At this time, Alice, as the little princess of the Cardiff family and the only Countess of Buckingham in England, her status is not insignificant.
"Why don't you know good from bad!"
"I flew in from London to help you buy General Motors, and you don't even have a nice word to say.'
Alice looked at Tang Tian angrily, and had a tendency to scold him because of disagreements.
However, her method didn't work for Tang Tian at all, Tang Tian pouted: "What buys General Motors?"
"Your family has made a lot of money this time, I guess most of it has fallen into your hands."
"When you came back, you probably wanted to take advantage of the fire to interrupt.
"Hey, not much!"
Hearing this, Alice scratched her head in embarrassment, and waved her golden hair.
"Tell me, how much money did your father give you?"
On the contrary, Tang Tian aroused curiosity, leaned towards Alice, and asked furtively.
Tens of billions of dollars is an addition to the Cardiff family, far inferior to the assets of General Motors.
This is one of the world's four major car manufacturers, can you really not be jealous?
If it hadn't been agreed in advance, the top ten British families would not have given such a piece of fat to Tang Tian.
"Not much."
"Daddy is divided into three, for me, Yingao, and Ergao.
"I also took four billion dollars."
A smile appeared on Alice's delicate face.
"Hey!"
Carefully looking at the blond-haired, blue-eyed little beauty in front of him, Tang Tian pouted: "It's really a rich family."
"Four billion dollars as pocket money, not much? Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!"
"Your four billion is enough to buy the bottom of Savile Row."
"If you ask me, what are you doing in America?"
"It's great to buy and buy in London and Paris with the money."
The voice fell.
Alice heard Tang Tian's ridicule, and muttered: "What do you buy those for?"
"The things Daddy and Mommy left me before include manors and villas in London, Paris, Berlin and other places.
"There are also shares in LV, Hermes, Chanel, and Dior."
At this time, Tang Tian remembered that this is a little rich woman in front of her.
When the family property was divided, Dean Cadvin and his wife gave a lot of hard assets, especially the shares of the top luxury brand...
Now, Alice still holds a 10% stake in Twitter, a 15% stake in Yuanhang Music and a 30% stake in Jinling Group.
Needless to say, the former has already made a plan to land on Nasdaq by the end of this year, and the market value must be at least 100 billion U.S. dollars. The share held by Alice is worth nearly 30 billion U.S. dollars.
Although Jinling Group is not listed, it has already begun to produce output this year, and in the future, the successive profits will be distributed to Alice in the hands of billions of RMB a year.
Good guy, I really don't know what to do with the 4 billion dollars in my hand
"Tang Tian!"
"I'm here this time, and I want you to help me with my advice."
"You can't take the money and stare blankly."
As she spoke, Alice pitifully tugged at Tang Tian's sleeve.
"Eh!"
"What are you doing, dramatist.
Seeing the people around him staring at him with gossip eyes, Tang Tian felt a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly said: "We'll talk about this later."
"Since you're here, let's go up and do the business first."
"Okay!"
When Alice heard that Tang Tian agreed, she immediately returned to her aloof appearance, and led a group of people into the General Motors Building.
The two oriental faces Tang Tian and Lin Yu next to them were mixed with a group of western whites, which was really eye-catching.
As soon as she entered the building, a middle-aged white man in a suit and leather greeted Alice: "Hello!"
"Mr. Wagner, hello!"
Tang Tian, who immediately recognized the person coming as General Motors Chairman and CEO Wagner, narrowed his eyes slightly.
Wagner joined General Motors in 1977.
From 1992 to 1994, he served as executive vice president and chief financial officer of General Motors, and from 1993 to 1994, he was responsible for GM's global procurement. Since June 2000, Wagner has been the president and chief executive officer of GM. .
On May 1, 2003, he officially served as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of General Motors.
It can be said that Wagner is definitely the person who knows the most about General Motors, not one of them.
"Who are you?"
At this time, Wagner had a lot of doubts about Tang Tian.
The news he got was that the Caddy Wenxu family had acquired 51% of the shares of General Motors. This time, it was the little princess of the Caddy Wenxu family who led the team.
But now how do you look at this young oriental boy as the person in charge of this team.
"Mr. Wagner need not worry."
"Our Cardiff family was entrusted by the Star Consortium to acquire General Motors."
"Mr. Tang Tian is the leader of the Star Financial Group."
Alice Cadivesh introduced with a smile.
boom!
These words were like a depth bomb detonating the audience in an instant.
All the senior officials of General Motors were dumbfounded. The real buyer was the Star Consortium, not the Cardiff family.
What made them even more unexpected was the name of the Star Consortium, which many people had never even heard of.
Wagner asked in disbelief: "The Star Consortium? Is it the main body of the Huanyu Group?"
"Before Ford Motor sold Volvo to Xiaguo Jili Automobile, it is said that there is a Mr. Tang Tian..."
"Yes, I was right!"
Slightly nodding his head, Tang Tian stood at 2.7 and said in a deep voice: "Star Investment is the 100% controlling entity of Huanyu Group.
"Not only that, Star Investment is also the second largest shareholder of Ji Li and the sole major shareholder of Aston Martin."
"hiss!!!"
All GM executives couldn't help but gasp.
With the popularization of HuanYuOne3g and Tpad, the reputation of Huanyu Group has been resounding throughout the European and American world.
Now who here is not holding HuanYuOne3g, Tpad is used as a good office assistant, equipped with middle managers, and has become a rookie in the electronic technology industry.
Everyone knows that the Huanyu Group is a Xia country enterprise from the far east.
Last year, Aston Martin was acquired, and some time ago, Tata Group acquired Land Rover and Jaguar; Geely Automobile acquired Volvo. These three events shocked the entire North American auto industry.
No one could have imagined that two of these events were led by Xingchen Investment, so the Xingchen Consortium is obviously a consortium from Xia Guo.
This made the people present a little at a loss!
If it was the Cardiff family, the acquisition of General Motors by a consortium from England would not be so uncomfortable for North America.
Because for a long time, North America was actually a colony of England, and the people here spoke the same language and characters as England.
But they were suddenly told that the company that was being acquired was Xia Guo Enterprise, which they had always looked down upon. This made many people unable to accept such a cruel fact.
"Mr Wagner."
"Shall we go to the board of directors first?"
Of course Tang Tian knew the inner thoughts of these white people, but he was not used to white people, and said with a blank face.
"Um, yes!"
Wagner came back to his senses, and led Tang Tian and others to the meeting room in a slow pace.
All the shareholders of General Motors had been gathered in the meeting room half an hour ago, and the board meeting was held, only Tang Tian was left alone. .
