Set sail1992

Chapter 812 Deal!

Faced with this request from Huateng Industrial Group, Mazda really had no way to refuse.

If Huateng Industrial Group doesn't think of asking a third party to supervise the entire evaluation process, maybe Mazda will really reach a "small tacit understanding" with the asset evaluation company that was finally selected, but since Huateng Industrial Group has already raised this point. If Mazda dares to refuse, it is tantamount to slapping itself in the face and admitting that there are problems with the asset appraisal companies that I hired before.

Of course, Mazda can't do this kind of self-defeating thing, and it can't afford to lose this person, so it's settled.

In a country like the United States where money is paramount, as long as you have money, everything is easy to talk about.

In less than a week, asset appraisal companies and third-party monitoring companies were in place one after another. Because the asset structure of this factory is very clear, the entire evaluation process went very smoothly. Finally, an evaluation price approved by the third-party monitoring company was released. : All production equipment, worth 3250 million US dollars.

This price is higher than the previous price of 2000 million US dollars given by Huateng Industrial Group, and also lower than the previous offer of 4200 million US dollars given by Mazda.

The factory that invested a full 5 million U.S. dollars to build it is only worth 3250 yuan now?

In fact, that’s not the case. Mazda did spend 5 million U.S. dollars to build this factory. That’s right, but the 2 million U.S. dollars includes land purchase costs, infrastructure costs, employee training costs, and equipment purchase costs. Less than $[-] million.

Maybe you want to say again, the equipment that cost almost 2 million US dollars back then is only worth 3250 million US dollars now that it has not been used for a day in these years?Is this asset appraisal company cheating? !

In fact, this is not the case. It was 1991 when Mazda placed the order with the manufacturer, and now 1997 is almost over. Even if the equipment is well protected and sealed, it can be improved in terms of performance, efficiency and automation level. There is no way to compare with the current automobile production line.

The most important thing is that the user groups faced by the automobile production line are too narrow. From the perspective of assets and financial statements, this production line is indeed worth so much money, but the problem is that for Mazda, they Can't sell in or out!

Enterprises that have the strength to buy a set of automobile production lines look down on Mazda’s backward production line. If they want to buy it, they must buy brand new and high-efficiency ones. The world’s real demand for second-hand automobile production lines is Huateng Industrial Group , This has also led to the current situation: this set of equipment looks quite advanced, but Mazda has kept it in its hands for many years, and it is just sold.

What's more terrible is that if Mazda continues to hold it in its hands for a few more years, it may only be treated as waste.

Although Mazda was not very satisfied with this quotation, they had nothing to say in the face of the reasons and reasons for such valuation given by the asset appraisal company.Imakijiuyi took a deep breath and said to Jiang He, "Mr. Jiang, we agree to this price."

"We also agree," Jiang He nodded and said, "But we hope to package this set of equipment with the full set of data of the sixth-generation Mazda 929. The price of the package is 3900 million US dollars, and basic data and crash test data will be provided."

Imaki Kyuichi, who frowned on the surface, was relieved in his heart.

In fact, when Jianghe proposed to buy Mazda's North American factory, Mazda was already mentally prepared that Huateng Industrial Group would take this opportunity to lower the price. Generally speaking, Jianghe's quotation is actually within the range of Mazda's previous guesses, and it is also within their tolerance range.

Coincidentally, Mazda still urgently needs to sell these equipment to withdraw funds, so the next thing is the free shipping area: for Mazda, which urgently needs to withdraw funds, since the price is affordable, the speed of the next negotiation Hurry up, that's totally understandable...

------------

When Jiang He was busy negotiating with Imaki Jiuyi and trying to get a lower price, Zhang Qihang was not idle. To a certain extent, he was even busier than Jiang He. For example, this morning, he just delivered After breakfast, I found a place to sit down. On the opposite side, a well-dressed middle-aged Caucasian man in a suit and leather shoes sat down. The person who came was very polite: "Sir, I'm sorry to bother you, may I sit here ?"

Looking at the empty restaurants around him, and looking at the buddy in front of him, Zhang Qihang sighed and asked, "Sir, please be direct, which bank do you belong to?"

The sense of smell of capital is always keen. When Jianghe was still negotiating with Mazda, the bosses of banks, insurance companies, and professional construction companies, etc. who had already received the news, seemed to smell something fishy. The sharks generally surrounded him from all directions, like this morning, Zhang Qihang had already seen it.

Zhang Qihang pointed out that he was a bank, and the other party didn't feel embarrassed. In his opinion, it was a good thing that Zhang Qihang didn't chase him away directly. Therefore, upon hearing this, he immediately said: "Mr. Zhang, hello, I'm Charlotte Douglas, deputy general manager of the Los Angeles branch of the First National Bank of California, and you can call me Charlotte."

Zhang Qihang nodded and said, "First National Bank of California? It sounds like you are a regional bank. How many branches and employees do you have now?"

Knowing the number of business outlets and the number of employees, one can roughly know the strength of the First National Bank of California.Charlotte Douglas obviously knew this too, and he responded happily: "The strength of our California First National Bank is not comparable to that of Wells Fargo, Citibank and other top big banks, but it is also a top 50 bank in the United States. Bank, Mr. Zhang, please believe me, we can provide you with the funds you need."

Zhang Qihang nodded. Obviously, the other party came for this deal with Mazda Motors: about 4000 million US dollars of funds, if the other party chooses himself as the transaction bank, or simply borrows from his own bank, First National Bank of California will Huge profits can be made.

Swallowing a piece of fried pork chops, Zhang Qihang said: "Mr. Douglas, since you found me, I believe your bank has done some investigation and understanding of my company. As far as I am concerned, it is not difficult to take out the 4000 million US dollars. On the contrary, this kind of multinational loan is very troublesome in terms of loan review, lending and selection of collateral. My company does not have any collateral in the United States. You, you can't find a guarantee company to guarantee us for a while, so why should I go to such trouble?"

The smile on Charlotte Douglas's face became wider, he nodded again and again and said: "Of course, what you said is true, and that's what I'm going to say next."

"uh-huh……"

Zhang Qihang made a "please" gesture, indicating that Charlotte Douglas could speak.

"We like to believe in providing full credit loans," Charlotte Douglas said: "That is to say, you don't need any collateral, you only need to sign, and you can take out the loan. In addition, at interest rates On the other hand, we can also give you a huge discount, the one-year comprehensive annualized interest rate is 2.1%, and the two-year comprehensive annualized interest rate is only 2.35%.”

The words of Charlotte Douglas can be described as earth-shattering. Zhang Qihang was frightened. He looked at Charlotte Douglas and said with surprise: "Mr. Douglas, there is no need for a mortgage loan at all. Are you sure you are not Talking in your sleep?"

No wonder Zhang Qihang was so surprised, almost 4000 million US dollars of unsecured credit loans, and as the subject of the loan, Huateng Industrial Group does not even have any business in the United States, which means that once Huateng Industrial Group intends to renege on the debt , The First National Bank of California has no way to recover losses through confiscation and auction mortgages. As far as capital is concerned, this situation is of course something they should try their best to avoid, but now Charlotte Douglas actually said: Dude, we For the first time, I'll give you a $4000 million line of credit. How about it, buddy, isn't it interesting?

"Of course I am not lying," said Charlotte Douglas. "Of course there is a reason why we dared to give you such a large unsecured line of credit."

"Oh?"

Zhang Qihang raised his eyebrows, motioning for Charlotte Douglas to continue.

At this moment, Zhang Qihang was really curious about what the First National Bank of California had to offer a full 4000 million US dollars (maybe some To follow more) unsecured credit loans.

"We have investigated your company," Charlotte Douglas said again, and he did not deny this: "The results of the investigation surprised us. Your company turned out to be a joint-stock company absolutely controlled by the Huaxialu Provincial Government. Enterprise, since you are a state-owned enterprise, it means that any commercial activities of yours will be guaranteed by the provincial government of a country..."

Speaking of this, Charlotte Douglas laughed happily: "If your company can't repay the loan on time, we can not only ask for money directly from your Lu provincial government in Huaxia, but also directly go to the court to sue your Lu provincial government. Government—I know that your government is very concerned about face, a majestic provincial government is equivalent to our state government in California, you should never choose to renege on such a small amount of money, right?"
