Chapter 352 Volkswagen Acquired

When Jiang Bufan went out to make a phone call, Lin Feng calmly picked up the document next to him and saw the signature again.

Lin Feng believed that Jiang Bufan would convey his meaning to his superiors well, and Lin Feng also believed that the top management of Porsche would make a very wise decision.

Before Lin Feng could sign the third document, Jiang Bufan came back with the mobile phone in his hand. Seeing that the screen of the mobile phone lit up, he probably didn't hang up the phone.

"Mr. Lin, I want to ask, what exactly do you want?"

Jiang Bufan covered the phone with his hand and looked at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng put down the pen in his hand and looked at Jiang Bufan.

"I'm interested in some car technology from Porsche and Volkswagen, especially the engine."

As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, Jiang Feifan's face turned dark.

"Mr. Lin, our company can use money to buy the shares in your hand, even if the premium is ten times higher than the market."

Lin Feng laughed, which confused Jiang Bufan, who didn't know what he was laughing at.

"Mr. Jiang, I always thought you were a smart person, but it seems that you are not very smart."

"My net worth, Lin Feng, dare not say trillions now, but I still have hundreds of billions. You think I care about your company's little money."

"It seems that the profit of your Porsche company last year was only more than 70 billion euros. Do you know how long it will take me to earn so much?"

Jiang Bufan was completely led by the nose by Lin Feng now, and when he heard Lin Feng's words, he shook his head.

"One month, I can earn your company's profit for a whole year in one month."

Lin Feng stretched out his right index finger and shook it in front of Jiang Bufan's eyes.

After Jiang Bufan listened to Lin Feng's words, his face was livid, and he walked out of the office with his mobile phone to talk to the senior executive opposite his mobile phone. This time Lin Feng didn't sign the documents anymore, and directly turned on the computer to surf the Internet.

Lin Feng first checked the stock price of Volkswagen on the Internet. This Volkswagen is not the one in China, but the one in Germany.

Seeing that the closing price of Volkswagen stock had risen to 150 euros, the corners of Lin Feng's mouth rose slightly.

His original cost of opening a position was around 50.00 euros, that is to say, even if he sells all the stocks in his hand on the market, he still makes a profit of [-]%.

But now Lin Feng is not only interested in such a small profit, what he values ​​is the core technology of the two automobile companies.

When Lin Feng recalled his previous life, he always saw that certain technologies or patents of those foreign automobile companies were so powerful, and when he saw how much money those state-owned automobile companies spent a year on those patents, he felt so angry. Ah, why do car companies in their own country need to do this.

Once again, Lin Feng has already made up his mind. He wants the country to catch up with other countries in various high-tech fields in the next 20 years, and regain its leading position in the world.

And this time the global financial crisis is a good opportunity for Lin Feng, he now has a lot of liquidity in his hands, and the enterprises in capitalist countries are most short of funds at this time.

Although many countries pay great attention to the problem of technology leakage in their own country, under the overall environment, enterprises are short of money.

If your country does not sell technology to companies to tide over the difficulties, then your country will directly spend money to help those companies.

But as far as Lin Feng knew, even the richest country M in the world only spent 7000 billion US dollars in this financial crisis.

Don't look at 7000 billion US dollars as a lot, but there are also many companies in country M that need bailouts, and what they need is not billions of dollars, but tens of billions of dollars.

Lin Feng still remembered that in his previous life, he read a news saying that there were three famous car companies in country M looking for government funding. It is said that the funding needed by these three companies alone reached 2000 billion US dollars.

When Lin Feng saw the news, he was stunned.

You are not kidding me, what kind of company needs so much money for relief, with so much money, you can directly wrap up your company's stock in the secondary market.

However, at that time, Lin Feng really went out of his way to find out the origins of those three awesome car companies, and he was surprised, which refreshed Lin Feng's understanding of the world.

These three car companies are the top three car companies in country M. However, during the financial crisis, the stock prices in the stock market did not perform very well, and the stock prices continued to fall. At that time, the combined market value of the second and third companies was between Together, it only reached 100 billion US dollars.

It was also at that time that Lin Feng saw the news that Porsche had acquired Volkswagen.

During the financial crisis, not everyone has a plug-in like Lin Feng now, with a God's perspective, knowing when the financial crisis will end and when recovery will begin.

Those companies affected by the financial crisis borrow money from various places to tide over the difficulties every day; those companies that are not affected pay more attention to the funds in their hands and dare not invest lightly.

But even then, Porsche was an exception.

Before the financial crisis, Porsche's annual profit reached more than 70 billion euros.

After the outbreak of the financial crisis, the executives of their company did not reduce investment like other companies and tighten their belts. Instead, they continued to make high-profile acquisitions of Volkswagen at that time.

Although a few years ago, Porsche issued an announcement saying that it would buy Volkswagen's shares in the secondary market, and it would not end until the shares reached a controlling stake.

But at that time, no one was optimistic about Porsche's successful acquisition of Volkswagen, so hedge funds in many countries began to move around and began to short the stock price of Volkswagen.

At the beginning, the stock price of Volkswagen did keep falling, and those international shorts also made a lot of money.

But as time went on, everyone started to feel that something was wrong.

At a time when the stock price of Volkswagen is constantly falling, Porsche is still buying shares of Volkswagen.

So the atmosphere in the market has become weird.

Those who believed that Porsche could successfully acquire Volkswagen began to secretly buy shares in Volkswagen; those who did not believe that Porsche could hold shares in Volkswagen continued to short the stock price of Volkswagen.

Later, when Porsche held 30.00% of Volkswagen's shares, investors who shorted Volkswagen in the market began to feel uneasy.

Subsequently, Porsche announced that they would continue to purchase shares in Volkswagen, and planned to hold 2009% of Volkswagen shares in 70.00.

As soon as Porsche's announcement came out, Volkswagen's stock price soared instantly. This was the first time that international shorts were harvested.

At this time, some weaker short sellers began to withdraw from the short-selling team after losing money.

However, there are still many powerful giants still supporting it. Their confidence comes from the fact that the 20.00% public shares in the official hands will never be diluted.

After all, although the shares are in the hands of the official, there are too many problems in it, and it is difficult to explain in one or two sentences, but if you want to sell those shares, you need to involve thousands or tens of thousands of votes. vast.

Normally, even if the 20.00% of the shares are not sold in the official hands, then Porsche does not need to hold so many shares of Volkswagen to control Volkswagen. Why is this?

This starts with the history of Volkswagen Corporation. During the special period of the year, Volkswagen Corporation became a background with state-owned assets. At that time, for the sake of certain stability, the state also specially formulated a step-by-step law "Popular Law" for Volkswagen Corporation. .

It's amazing for a company to do this.

This law stipulates that if you want to control the public company, the shares must reach 70.00% or more.

Although Porsche now holds 40.00% of Volkswagen's shares and will soon reach 50.00%, they also found that there is something wrong with the current floating shares in the market.

Once they, Porsche, actually increase the purchase price to buy Volkswagen, maybe the final shares will greatly exceed the cost of the previous purchase of shares.

Even if Porsche's annual profits are good, it's not so stupid to spend so much money on random manufacturing.

Just as Lin Feng was looking at the stock price of Volkswagen, Jiang Bufan walked in again.

"Mr. Lin, my boss wants to speak to you."

Jiang Bufan walked up to Lin Feng, straightened his arms, and handed over the mobile phone in his hand to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng looked away from the computer, looked at Jiang Bufan, smiled, and took the phone.

"I'm Lin Feng, who is it?"

"I'm Ronan, chairman of Porsche Corporation. Hello, Mr. Lin."

A somewhat crappy Mandarin came from the other end of the phone. Lin Feng judged from the other party's voice that this person should not be very old.

"It turned out to be Mr. Ronan. I think Mr. Jiang has already conveyed my meaning to you. I wonder what your opinion is?"

Lin Feng also has no time to waste with this gringo, after all, he still has a lot of work waiting for him.

"Mr. Lin, I have already heard from Bufan. In fact, our Porsche company is very sincere. I am willing to buy the shares in Mr. Lin's hands at a price three times higher than the market price. What do you think?"

When Luo Nan first heard Jiang Bufan say that Lin Feng wanted the car technology from Porsche and Volkswagen, he would definitely not agree and would not consider it.

The reason why he wanted to acquire Volkswagen was because his ancestors had a relationship with Volkswagen, but he was kicked out of Volkswagen later.

So Ronan felt that Volkswagen should belong to their family, so he mobilized Porsche to acquire Volkswagen.

But this does not mean that Ronan does not value Volkswagen, on the contrary, he values ​​Volkswagen very much.

Although he is not a professional in the automotive field, he knows how important those patents and technologies are to a car company. Now Volkswagen has nine car company sub-brands and is the largest car company in Germany.

It can be exaggerated to say that the top automotive technology in Germany is in Volkswagen.

"Hehe, Mr. Ronan is so funny."

When Lin Feng heard that Ronan's market price was tripled, he immediately laughed.

Is this three times the market price high?

"I don't know what Mr. Lin is laughing at?" Ronan was a little confused about Lin Feng's attitude.

Lin Feng looked up at Jiang Bufan who was standing in front of him, and said, "Mr. Luo Nan, I hope that after tonight, you can still tell me the price three times the market price so confidently."

After Lin Feng finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly, and then threw the phone in Jiang Bufan's hand.

Then Jiang Bufan was "gentlely" invited out of the company by Zhao Tiezhu under a look of bewilderment.

Lin Feng quickly put Jiang Bufan's matter behind him, and continued to sign documents in a hurry.

In the evening, European stock markets began to open.

As a result, only 5 minutes after the opening of the market, the stock price of Dazhong Company was suddenly bought by unknown funds. The stock price broke through 150 yuan in an instant from 10 yuan, then suddenly 2000 yuan in [-] minutes, and broke through [-] yuan in half an hour. Breakthrough to [-] billion US dollars.

Originally, there were not many shares of Volkswagen in the market to buy, but when the stock price exceeded [-] yuan, the trading volume suddenly increased, and those investors who were unwilling to sell their stocks before also began to waver in their determination and sold their stocks go.

However, the continuous selling of stocks did not cause the stock price of the public to fall. On the contrary, although the trading volume continued to increase, the stock price also slowly broke through [-] yuan and [-] yuan.

At the same time, at the headquarters of Porsche Corporation, Ronan stood in front of the computer and watched the stock price of Volkswagen not only rise, but kept muttering: No, no.

Ronan was doomed to be disappointed. When Volkswagen's stock price exceeded 1000 yuan, suddenly more buying orders appeared, and Volkswagen's stock price soared 700 yuan in an instant, reaching [-] yuan. At this time, Volkswagen's stock price officially Breaking through [-] billion US dollars, becoming the company with the highest market value in the world, none of them.

Ronan watched Volkswagen's stock price start to oscillate at the position of [-] euros, his face was livid, and he picked up the phone by the table directly.

"Tell me what's going on, why the stock price of Volkswagen suddenly soared?"

The person on the other end of the phone from Rolle is Edward, the manager of the Assets Department of Porsche, who is mainly responsible for the acquisition of Volkswagen.

"Boss, we have already checked."

"Someone broke out on the Internet that the "Popular Law" violated the "Anti-Monopoly Law", and the EU has already started to abolish the "Popular Law."

"So now all the short sellers in the entire market believe that Porsche can control Volkswagen when it acquires 50.00% of the shares of Volkswagen, so many international short sellers bought shares of Volkswagen on a large scale to close their positions. "

Hearing this news, Ronan stood up with a "whoosh".

"Who released our trump card in advance, don't you know that this is our last means to win?"

Edward said innocently: "Boss, this must not have been done by someone from our department."

Ronan's eyes were already wide open, as big as copper bells, ready to breathe fire at any time.

"Check it out for me, check it out thoroughly."
