Chapter 526 Acquisition of Leland Company Again

"Put it under my name? But there are already quite a few companies under my name."

Ruan Tao was a little worried that Qin Xiayue and Yan Jiedi had disagreements. Except for the two daughters, Ruan Tao's assets were far more than those of other women. All land properties and companies in Europe were owned by Ruan Tao.

Wei Dong smiled and said, "Just keep it if I give it to you. I will sell some brands to Qiuyu Group later and I will form my own Qiuyu Automobile Company."

Weidong remembers that at the beginning of the opening up, there were three big, three small and six car companies. Other companies were not qualified to produce cars. In order to get more qualifications, Weidong now needs to prepare a few more completely independent car companies. , At that time, you can use different company names to invest. It would be great if all six car companies were won by yourself. The investment in this car field alone will allow future generations to have decades of income.

Ruan Tao struggled for a while and said: "Then you and the two of them have made an agreement, I'm just acting as a substitute."

"Don't be a mother-in-law, just let you go first."

Weidong had already thought about it, the properties on the Xiangjiang River would be reserved for Qin Xiayue's children, and the properties in the mainland would be reserved for Yan Jiedi's children, and part of the assets in other areas would be given to other children. At least there would be a few One billion, if there is any resentment under such circumstances, it means that the children have not been educated well.

"Alright then, I'll go prepare the materials first."

When Ruan Tao returned home, she first arranged to send a letter to Lilan Company, asking if there was any plan to sell it.

Although Leland Motor Company is the fifth largest automobile company in the world in terms of scale, it is only behind the three major automobile companies in the beautiful country and Wolfsburg Motor Company, and it also occupies the world's bus market, but the current life has not been easy.

The company owns multiple brands including Jaguar, Land Rover, mg, mini, Austin, Morris, Larry, Ives, Triumph, Wolseley and Healy, and still suffers large-scale losses.

Sir Edward, the president of the company, was very surprised to receive Ruan Tao's consultation letter. Didn't he contact him before? After a few years, he sent another letter for consultation.

However, they responded to the message in time, and the Leland Company does have plans to sell, and everything can be discussed.

Wei Dong and Ruan Tao were afraid that the other party would be separated because of what happened last time. After receiving the news, Ruan Tao quickly mobilized a number of elite soldiers to form a negotiating team.

Wei Dong sent the group on the plane, and then took Ruan Mi back,

Seeing that she was unhappy, she persuaded her: "Why are you still reluctant to let Sister Taozi go? Are you still afraid of living in a house by yourself?"

"Where is it? I'm not afraid either."

Wei Dong smiled and said, "I also want you to live with Ah Hui and Ah Zhen, so that you can have a companion."

Ruan Mi lives in a connected villa with Ah Zhen, and they are already like a family, but they have no experience of sleeping together.

Ruan Mi hesitated and said, "But I still have to take care of the child."

Wei Dong smiled and said, "It's not that there is no babysitter, let's go to A Zhen's for dinner at night."

Ruan Mi pouted, don't you understand what this means?Don't you want to be slept with?
It's just that this is also a very exciting way, it should be very interesting, Ruan Mi is a little eager to try it.

When Wei Dong came to the door with Ruan Mi at night, Ah Zhen wasn't too surprised. Wei Dong had a lot of tricks, and it was just an extra Ruan Mi.

Ah Hui was very happy to chat with Ruan Mi. It didn't take long for their faces to turn into red apples, and they didn't know what posture they were talking about.

Ah Zhen smiled and said, "Did you plan it long ago?"

"Ah Zhen also knows me."

"You know how to make us happy." Ah Zhen stretched out her hand and slapped her lightly.

Wei Dong said seriously: "I am here to make you happy."

"."

How do you feel that someone is wrong!

Wei Dong was happy today, he cooked two dishes himself, and after eating and drinking enough, he took the embarrassed Ruan Mi into the master bedroom to be happy.

Weidong was very happy in Xiangjiang, but Ruan Tao encountered obstacles in London. Ruan Tao calculated that the market value of Leland's company was only 6000 million pounds, but Edward's asking price was as high as 9000 million. 1.5 million pounds has already been discounted by 6000 million.

At the appointed time, Ruan Tao and Wei Dong talked on the phone, and when they were idle, they made it clear. Ruan Tao felt that 9000 million pounds was not worth it.

Wei Dong asked: "I remember that Leland Company still owes a lot of money to banks and material suppliers?"

"Yes, it will add up to about 3000 million! Why are you asking this?"

Wei Dongdao: "You go to banks and suppliers to buy these debts at a discounted price."

This is a routine operation in later generations. Leland Company has no money to repay the debt, so it packages the debt and sells it to others at a low price, so that it can get the owed money as soon as possible and save a lot of trouble.

Ruan Tao said: "Then, what's the use of getting the money owed? Are we going to file for bankruptcy?"

Wei Dongdao: "You can also let it out after receiving it and file for bankruptcy and liquidation, and then talk to Sir Edward."

"The authorities of the size of the Leland Company will not support bankruptcy liquidation."

A company with tens of thousands of workers like Leland Company will generally not reach the point of bankruptcy and liquidation. Just like Rolls-Royce Company back then, it was not afraid of going bankrupt at all.

Wei Dongdao: "We want to buy Leyland Company. If we can't agree on an agreement, we will exchange these debts for our brand and technology, and then produce our own cars in Xiangjiang."

Ruan Tao snorted: "I understand what you mean, by the way, why did you let Ruan Mi live with Ah Hui?"

Wei Dong smiled and said, "What do you think?"

"Bah, the old man is not serious."

Ruan Tao put down the phone immediately after cursing, and Wei Dong was so angry that he snorted, "I'll hit your sister with a stick when I get home."

The manly man did what he said, Ruan Mi's little ass was opened up at night, and Ah Hui was beaten up by the way.

Ruan Mi quickly obtained the creditor's rights from the bank and the supplier, and then renegotiated with Edward, threatening to file for bankruptcy and liquidation in the court. A production base, a full set of technology and some brands are also acceptable.

Only then did Sir Edward realize that he had taken it for granted. Originally, he wanted to sell it at a high price, but the Amity Rain Group really didn't care about martial arts.

Persuading: "There are things to discuss, Qiuyu Group is also the world's largest multinational group, don't do things so extreme, besides, we have always been partners."

The last acquisition failed, and the role of Qiuyu Group as a parts supplier was negotiated, but the share was very low, and the main parts of the car were all produced locally.

Ruan Tao also accepted it as soon as it was good, and said with a smile: "Our Qiuyu Group is also very optimistic about the market in Sunset Country. We bought shares in Luoluo Company before, and now we are very interested in Leland Company. We hope that we can continue to strengthen this relationship and make profits Lan Company became part of the Autumn Rain Group, which also allowed Leland Company to turn losses into profits."

It is straightforward to point out that Leland does not have to buy goods from the Qiuyu Group, and has shares in Rolls-Royce, but Leland's company is far behind.

Besides, Leland Company is losing money now. Since entering the 60s, it has experienced ups and downs in family cars and has been on the verge of losing money. Now that it is facing the oil crisis, Leland Company has nothing to be proud of.

Sir Edward also wanted to make a deal before and sell the company at a high price, but now he has to lower his stance and renegotiate.

Leland Company also organized a team to negotiate with the people brought by Ruan Tao to liquidate assets and debts, and finally finalized the purchase of the company's stock at a total price of 7000 million.

Several major shareholders have long wanted to get rid of it. After all, this is not the reason why Leland Company has suffered losses. It has basically not made any money in the past ten years. If the company is saved, if someone takes over, it will be sold long ago.

Ruan Tao applied to the authorities for privatization after receiving 90% of the shares, and forced to buy all the remaining small shares.

Then he called Weidong: "What should I do now? The cars are almost impossible to sell, and I have nothing to do."

Weidong thought about it and asked, "How many cars are there in stock?"

"More than 6 vehicles of all brands are sedans."

Wei Dongdao: "Then clear the warehouse, and I'm going to fly to London to host the reorganization."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Weidong seldom presides over the general work of the company. He always makes his own decisions and lets Ruan Tao or Ah Zhen implement them.

But right now there is a mess to be cleaned up, Wei Dong thinks it is better to go there by himself, so that he can make a decisive decision.

Ask Mi Xiaozhou to charter a flight, then buy two bouquets of flowers and return home.

Seeing Weidong sending flowers, Qin Xiayue smiled and said, "What's wrong? Did you make a mistake?"

Yan Jiedi said: "Are you adding another sister to us?"

"Impossible, don't slander my innocence out of thin air?" Wei Dong hastily argued.

Yan Jiedi smiled and said: "Innocence, I see that you are all yellow and shiny."

Qin Xiayue pretended to be surprised and asked, "Oh, why is it still yellow?"

"Isn't it pornographic enough? It's going to be paraded in the streets in the capital." Yan Jiedi said.

Wei Dong said aggrievedly: "I gave you flowers and gave you the wrong one?"

Qin Xiayue hummed: "Tell me, what is it?"

Wei Dong sighed and said, "Aren't I going to London on a business trip?"

Then he told the whole story of Ruan Tao's acquisition of Leland Company, and now he needs to deal with the loss-making company by himself and get on the right track as soon as possible.

When the two women were officially pregnant, they were a little surprised when they heard the news, and felt a little bit reluctant, but this is a serious business and cannot be delayed.

Qin Xiayue asked, "How long will it be?"

"It should be very fast. If it is short, it will be three to five days, and if it is long, it will be ten days and a half months at most."

"Well, we'll wait for you at home."

Wei Dong accompanied the two of them to rest at home for a day, and took Mi Xiaozhou on the plane the next day.

Even if the two of them were traveling, Wei Dong still chose to charter a flight, otherwise the pungent smoke would be unbearable.

After two times of refueling, he finally landed at the airport in London, and was sent directly to the manor to meet Ruan Tao.

When he came out of the shower, he saw Ruan Tao was already leaning on the head of the bed, Wei Dong smiled and said, "This time, it's right, I personally delivered it to the door, don't ask to invite it."

He stepped forward to hold Ruan Tao in his arms and was about to take a water cup to drink.

"They're both old couples and still so dishonest." Ruan Tao said helplessly.

In a blink of an eye, Ruan Tao was over 30, Wei Dong was surrounded by little girls, and he already felt how old he was.

Wei Dong laughed and said, "How can there be? Haven't you heard that thirty are like wolves and forty are like tigers?"Your kid is in the year of the tiger and wolf. '

"Hey, who did you learn the words of tiger and wolf from?"

But it's been several days since I saw Wei Dong, and Ruan Tao was also very excited, chirping about how much she misses her.

Wei Dong was just busy with himself, taking care of Ruan Tao who was like a wolf like a tiger with ease.

The next day, the two brought Mi Xiaozhou to the company's headquarters with radiant faces.

Weidong first had a look at the current situation. Right now, the warehouse needs to be cleaned up, which is the most important thing, and then the company can be reorganized.

Ruan Tao gave a plan and said: "If you want to quickly clear the inventory, you need at least a 7% discount to stimulate the market and attract consumption."

Ruan Tao knows Weidong's method, so the loss at this moment is nothing, just copy more in the future to make up for it.

Wei Dong simply looked at it and said, "That's it, it's a [-]% off sale."

Edward looked at the two people who cleared the inventory with a [-]% discount in a few words, and his eyelids couldn't help twitching. He was surprised and said, "If you sell it so cheap, you will lose a lot."

Wei Dongdao: "There is no way. There are so many cars in inventory. They have to be cleared out. The longer they are left, the less valuable they will be."

They are all newly produced cars, and if they are not disposed of for a year or so, they will be treated as old cars.

Edward also understood this truth, but if he made a decision by himself, it would be difficult to make a choice after thinking twice. He always hoped that there were other ways to solve this problem. He didn't expect that Wei Dong would directly agree to all [-]% off the sale and get back the funds when he came.

Wei Dong went on to say: "There are also organized workers to unpack a complete set of production equipment and transport the production line back to Xiangjiang for production."

Edward was surprised: "You want to move the production line?"

How do you think about it? What about those workers?You must know that the sunset country has policies and requirements for localization, which prevents other countries from dumping on the sunset country.

Wei Dong smiled and said: "This is normal. I have consulted a lawyer. There is no legal problem with the sale of parts and vehicles produced by Xiangjiang in London. The wages of Xiangjiang workers are low, so our production cost will be reduced by one percent." There is a relatively large room for decline, and we will rely on the commissioning of the Xiangjiang Base to turn losses into profits in the future.”

When the acquisition was successful, Weidong vacated one of its machinery factories in Xiangjiang. As long as the equipment is on duty, it can be installed, debugged and put into production as soon as possible.

"This is too surprising."

Wei Dong smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will pay enough severance pay for the extra workers according to the law, and there will be no less."

Only the boss of a company knows the horrors of trade unions in the capitalist world. These people have long been separated from the category of workers. The cave workers went on strike, and then came forward to negotiate with the boss. From the middle to many benefits, the workers only raised some symbolically. .

Therefore, one must not be careless in doing business in Sunset Country. This layoff requires enough cash to buy out the working relationship.

Edward had thought this way before, the only reason for the company's losses was that the cost was too high, but if it was done according to Weidong's method, the resistance in the company was very strong, and it couldn't go on at all. Now the original directors have left, The company's equity is all in Weidong's hands, so he can do whatever he wants, as long as he has enough money to pay for severance pay.

"Well, what's the plan for the company's development?"
