Live again: the pig who is the outlet

Chapter 85 Acquisition of an Automobile Production Line
The day when Zhang Jianqiang was going to leave and return to China was getting closer, and even Meng Qingshan, who had just arrived, became extremely depressed.

Not to mention the other international students who have known Zhang Jianqiang for a long time, Cheng Gang, Chen Xia and others often shed tears while talking.

Their friendship, like a comrade in the trenches, would be incomprehensible to those bastards who took their parents' savings and called their parents for money but didn't get it, and called their parents trash.

Of course, those young people who came later were quicker in thinking, more flexible in dealing with situations, and more likely to achieve better results than their predecessors, which was something that the first foreign students who came out to work hard could not learn.

The day of parting finally came, and the six old foreign students of Zhang Jianqiang who had stayed here for four years in the same period took the opportunity to leave and return to the motherland with what they had learned and the pain they had learned here in the past four years.

Only when everyone practiced "Huaguo Flavor" to these six senior brothers and sisters, the atmosphere was quite enthusiastic. After Zhang Jianqiang and others left, almost everyone fell into silence for almost a week.

Meng Qingshan didn't know how to comfort them. The friendship between these international students who helped each other in hardship was beyond comprehension for those who hadn't experienced it.

He didn't have the opportunity to share the suffering with everyone, so naturally he didn't know how to relieve everyone, and he couldn't speak.

In order to relieve the depression in his heart, Meng Qingshan lived in his rented apartment these days.

Davis's financial investment company has been registered, and is now nervously operating the exchange rate between the rice dollar and the island dollar.

At this time, it is not suitable to contact them too frequently, so as not to interfere with their specific operations.

So Meng Qingshan focused on the lawyer team that was about to be formed.

During the call, Williams told Meng Qingshan that the basic structure of the legal team has now been completed, and a lawyer named Rodriguez has been added to the legal team, who is good at corporate law and financial disputes.

The four of them will be an important part of Meng Qingshan's lawyer team, and the rest is that each of the four recruits two young legal assistants to help them with some small matters.

Meng Qingshan was very happy that the lawyer team was formed so quickly. These four had already gained a certain reputation in their respective fields, and he understood very well that each recruited two young lawyers as assistants.

Those small disputes don't require heavyweight lawyers to come forward at all, and it is also the practice in their industry to let the young paralegals under them handle them.

As for whether the young lawyers are willing to be their assistants, it depends on the reputation and personal charm of these four. Some lawyers who have just obtained their qualifications are eager to be assistants to a well-known lawyer with strong ability.

Although I am busy with well-known lawyers, I can see many cases and learn the methods and methods of old lawyers to deal with difficult problems.

After chatting with Williams for a few words, Meng Qingshan asked him about the acquisition of the mechanical production line that he had previously entrusted to him.

Williams told Meng Qingshan that two interested companies have been selected so far. One is a pickup truck production line established by a second-tier car manufacturer in the United States ten years ago.

Because American cars have been severely impacted by island cars in recent years, and this pickup truck manufacturer has been completely crushed by several major American car manufacturers, it finally couldn't bear it and declared bankruptcy last year.

Moreover, no one in the United States today is willing, or dare to take over such a car production line, because it is clear that whoever does it in the United States will lose money.

So the price is very low, which is also in line with Meng Qingshan's previous explanation. The products produced can be a little behind, but they must not be products that have been eliminated.

The other is a washing and chemical manufacturer that just declared bankruptcy this year, but because several companies want to take over, the price is a bit inflated.

Meng Qingshan inquired carefully about the situation of the automobile production line, and learned that the pickup truck production line is not bad, and it was still struggling to survive under the squeeze of several giants in the United States.

The reason for the bankruptcy is entirely because of the oil crisis in the past few years, which made the thin-skinned but fuel-efficient cars developed by the island country take the opportunity to hit the American auto market.

At present, not to mention the second-rate car manufacturers in the United States, even the car giants such as General Motors Ford in the United States have been hit by the island country's cars and have suffered losses year after year.

In addition, Williams also told Meng Qingshan a situation that surprised him. It turned out that the car company gave up the pickup truck production line of this subsidiary.

It was because after feeling the pressure in the first two years, I was ready to give up the pickup truck and start developing a minivan based on the pickup truck.

This small truck has been successfully developed and can carry one and a half tons of goods. It has passed various tests and fully meets the standards of the United States.

It's a pity that after it was put on the market, it was not liked by the public at all, and it could not be sold at all.

Because families in the United States like pickup trucks, if they need to haul a few hundred catties, half of them will get it back with their own pickup truck.

It is also very convenient to find a truck for a lot of things. As for general delivery and the like, the American auto market has long had a van that can pull about a ton.

Therefore, the small truck produced by this manufacturer is not liked by people at all. In the eyes of the American people, this thing is not high or low. It is a tasteless thing and is abandoned by the market.

This new car was not accepted by the market and became the last straw that crushed the small car manufacturer.

They are aware of the impact of island cars on American cars, and they know that even the American auto production giants are a little bit helpless.

Therefore, on the basis of pickup trucks, I decided to develop a small truck model that is one size larger than pickup trucks and is not produced in the island country.

It's a pity that they thought very well, thinking that no one else would produce such a model. Although the market demand is not large, fortunately there is no competitor in the market, so it should be able to sell well.

But they forgot, how could all the auto giants have not thought of such a model? They have all given up this kind of model, and they must not produce it because they think it will not work.

They invested all the funds and borrowed a lot of money from the bank. As a result, the newly developed new car could not be sold, and all the investment was in vain.

This is also the main reason why this car manufacturer abandoned this subsidiary car production line.

When Meng Qingshan heard the news, he immediately thought of the agricultural vehicles that had been popular in Huaguo for 20 years.

At present, there is no agricultural vehicle production line in China, and even the agricultural tricycles that are all the rage in rural areas have not yet appeared.

Meng Qingshan immediately told Williams that the minivan production line would be bought in the name of his American investment company.

The price should be kept as low as possible, and you can buy it if you can't. But you must obtain all patents for the new model, and the other party must ensure that the production line is intact.

Moreover, it must be stated in the contract that they need to send people to install and debug this production line together in the newly built factory, and the transaction can only be considered as completed if qualified products are produced. Of course, the salaries of the technicians sent to them are paid by themselves.

Meng Qingshan couldn't help it, knowing that the salaries of the people here were ridiculously high, but it was really difficult to move to an old production line without using their technicians.

As for the washing and chemical production line, let’s forget it. It seems that a few years ago, there were large international washing and chemical companies that went to the mainland to invest in the production of washing and chemical products, and they still had to eat every bite.

Discussed the details of the acquisition with Williams, and handled the procedures for transferring production lines and transportation after the purchase.

I hung up the phone with Williams, knowing that there was no suspense in winning this car production line.

Without any competitors, the production line will definitely be bought by itself, the difference is whether the price can be suppressed or not.

After spending half an hour smoothing his thoughts, Meng Qingshan picked up the phone again and called his eldest brother Meng Qingliang in China.

On the phone, I discussed with my elder brother the feasibility of putting this production line in my hometown QZ, and my elder brother fully agreed to bring the production line to my hometown.

Not only did Meng Qingliang want to do some practical things for his hometown, but also because of the purchase of the winery last time, because it was not in a familiar place, so the news was not well-informed, and he didn't know about it when he was deceived.

Meng Qingshan could hear the unwillingness in his brother's tone, and smiled to comfort his brother:

"This kind of thing is very common, not to mention us, even in this place in the United States, such things happen endlessly.

Besides, it's normal to be tricked by people on the road to entrepreneurship. Anyone who has developed has not stumbled all the way. "

The two brothers chatted on the phone for two hours, and Meng Qingshan told his elder brother what he thought.

He intends to use the name of his own financial investment company to take this production line over there, and form a joint venture with the company in Modu to become a three-party joint venture between China and Migang.

In this way, it will not only facilitate the money of my American financial investment company to enter and exit the trading company in Shanghai, but also allow my company to get better support policies.
