Chapter 606 Candidates for tour guide

The journey of more than 7000 kilometers took less than eight hours at the steady speed of the Gulfstream G650, and the team members who set off half a day earlier had already gone to the hotel to wait.

"Boss, the car is ready."

Less than 5 minutes after the plane stopped, Kong Xinci, the deputy director of the president's office who was in touch with the bodyguard team, came to the big boss to report.

"Let's go."

Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Xu Renshan said to his sister-in-law next to him.

Being in a foreign country, he must have paid more attention to the safety of his own home. A team of bodyguards who arrived earlier had thoroughly inspected the safety of the vehicle, and the hotel where he stayed had also been checked.

No one knows what traps are being designed by some dark enemies.

Two Audi police cars in the front cleared the way, followed by six black Audi A6s, four Rolls-Royce extended versions in the middle, and six black Audi A6s in the back. The Swiss SE company made a grand arrangement.

Even in Switzerland, where Audi cars are not expensive, such a fleet is not small.

Although SE's market capitalization is only 3 million euros, it can be regarded as a charging pile company second only to the industry giant ABB in Switzerland, and its reception specifications cannot be bad.

".For this acquisition, the new energy company will pay a premium of 15% in the future, and the purchase price will reach 3.4 million euros. However."

Xu Renshan and others listened to the report of Chen Jinfeng, CEO of Future New Energy Company, in the conference room of the Baerlak Hotel in Zurich, which had already been reserved.

Basically, it has been negotiated. Xu Renshan came here to inspect the operation of SE Company and determine the final purchase amount.

"Do you have any other questions?"

Noticing the hesitation on Mr. Chen's face, Xu Renshan asked casually.

"It is rumored that ABB also intends to acquire SE to divest the charging pile business and establish a separate subsidiary."

Speaking of this temporary news, Chen Jinfeng was afraid that there would be other variables.

Being in a foreign country, their news channels are somewhat weak, and ABB, as a local giant in Switzerland, can easily intercept them.

If the trip fails and the chairman and his party travel nearly [-] kilometers in vain, he, the CEO, will be remiss.

"and many more."

Hearing the news, Xu Renshan picked up his foreign mobile phone and dialed the number of SS Fund Deputy General Manager Jenny Shea: "Jennie, is ABB Group interested in acquiring the local SE company in Switzerland?"

He remembered that among the several giant shares held by SS Fund in Europe, there was 1.5 shares of ABB Group, and it was not difficult to inquire about some information.

"Mr. Xu, wait a moment."

After receiving a call from the big boss, Jenny Shea, who was having breakfast, signaled her assistant to bring her laptop, from which she found ABB's note file and checked the latest notice.

"Yes, sir, do you want me to make an appointment with Joseph M. Hogan, CEO of ABB?"

Speaking fluent Chinese, Jenny Shea asked.

The other party would not call her for no reason. With her many years of experience as a professional manager, she immediately thought of the best solution.

"Okay, it's eight o'clock in the morning in Zurich. You can arrange an afternoon tea for me at Hotel Barlaque."

After looking at Chopin who had adjusted the time, Xu Renshan set a time to meet.

"no problem."

After hanging up the phone, Jenny Sia immediately called Joseph M. Hogan, CEO of ABB, and stated that her boss wanted to invite him to have afternoon tea at the Baur au Lac Hotel in Zurich.

Hearing that it was the invitation from the big boss behind the SS Fund, Joseph M. Hogan, who was in Geneva, immediately agreed, and immediately pushed back other trips and rushed back to Zurich.

In China, the SS Fund is not well-known, but in Europe, the SS Fund, which owns the shares of many giants, is the top-level capital that is familiar to top figures in the business world.

"ABB's problem, I will solve it."

Passing the mobile phone to the female assistant, Xu Renshan waved to Mr. Chen.

"Ok."

Seeing that the big boss casually approached the CEO of ABB with a market value of tens of billions of dollars, Chen Jinfeng immediately became more confident.

It is a silky enjoyment to start a business with a big boss.

The rest of the shareholders at the scene also had a new understanding of the energy of this young rich man, and they looked at each other secretly, inevitably a little shocked.

Randomly meeting the president of a Fortune [-] company with a market value of tens of billions of dollars for afternoon tea, this kind of energy is rare in China.

Feng Yifan, who knew someone's plan, had even more interest in his eyes.

At 02:30 in the afternoon, Xu Renshan saw a middle-aged man with yellow hair in the empty garden of the hotel, with a rather European style.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Joseph Hogan."

Under the sun umbrella specially arranged by the hotel, Xu Renshan shook hands with the other party.

Europeans all pay attention to romance, and it is more harmonious to discuss business in such an environment.

And Kong Xinci, who is proficient in multiple languages, translated in fluent English. The other party was from North America, so they naturally communicated in English.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Xu."

The 55-year-old Joseph M. Hogan greeted the big boss behind the SS Fund very politely.

“Nice view of Zurich.”

After some false politeness, Xu Renshan gestured to the coffee in his hand, and talked about the purpose of inviting the other party to have afternoon tea: "I have a new energy company in China, and I am planning to acquire an SE company in Zurich. I don't know if ABB Group can Do you hold your hand high?"

"this."

Unexpectedly, the other party invited him to come here, and it turned out to be for this charging pile company. Joseph M. Hogan couldn't help hesitating.

In the past two years, the development of new energy vehicles has been rapid, and charging piles are naturally a popular industry. ABB plans to focus on the development of this field. Acquisition of other peers to establish subsidiaries is a major strategy of the company.

"The future new energy company has the charging pile contracts for all the refueling stations of the two oil companies in China, and the contract rate of private refueling stations has reached more than 80%, which will cover all of them in the next two years. In related aspects, the future new energy company can cooperate with ABB Huaxia cooperation."

Seeing the other party's hesitation, Xu Renshan also expressed his sincerity.

With ABB's technical reserves, the acquisition of a company worth 3 million euros is dispensable to the accumulation of technology, but it has completely different meanings to the newly established future new energy companies in China.

As long as this SE company can be acquired, the technical reserves of new energy companies in the domestic charging pile industry will be at the leading level in the future, catching up with companies such as BYD.

Moreover, to spread charging piles across 10 refueling stations across the country in the next ten years, Future Company alone is still unable to do so. It is necessary to find a partner.

As an outsider of ABB, you don't have to worry about being seized by other domestic counterparts when you cooperate.

"can."

Hearing the other party's conditions, Joseph M. Hogan narrowed his eyes and agreed immediately.

As the largest emerging market in the world, the Huaxia branch is the focus of ABB's performance growth. This year's sales revenue in China is expected to exceed US$50 billion.

If you can join the huge charging pile market, it will definitely be a surprise.

As for the unspoken rules of China's technology blockade in certain industries in Europe and the United States, Joseph M. Hogan, who works in a foreign country, doesn't care at all.

Others have that heart, even if they go with the big boss behind the SS Fund.

"Pleasant to work with."

Facing the mild-mannered middle-aged president, Xu Renshan stretched out his hand to invite him to have tea.

"Pleasant to work with."

Picking up a piece of pastry, Joseph M. Hogan has a sincere smile on his face.

"Boss, the hotel has arranged several tour guides, would you like to choose one to accompany you?"

After the CEO of ABB left, Kong Xinci came to report to the boss.

In today's itinerary, the boss is free for the rest of the time, so he definitely needs to go out for a stroll.

Although she is also an international student, she is not familiar with the scenic spots in Switzerland, and the hotel arrangement is still very good.
