The Age of Rebirth

Chapter 182 Talk and Bid

Kahn, the previous CEO of Volkswagen, retired this year. He facilitated the acquisition of Skoda. At the same time, the Czech Republic is also his grandmother's hometown. From top to bottom in Europe, there are relatives within relatives.

As for what the old man said about Kahn's retirement, which led to the stagnation of Skoda's acquisition, Li Weidong was somewhat skeptical!
Moreover, Li Weidong suddenly wondered whether the old man wanted to use his power to facilitate the next acquisition of Skoda by the public. Li Weidong can be sure that a lot of shares in the privatized Skoda must have flowed into the hands of executives .

"Then I'm really lucky, maybe it's God's blessing, but Skoda is one of the oldest car factories. If the Germans move all of them, it would be a pity for the Czech Republic!" Li Weidong would also say nonsense.

The old Bell shook his head and said sarcastically: "Young man, Skoda will always be in the Czech Republic. The Germans will not take him away. Your participation will not do them any good, and they are willing to trust the Germans!"

This is a fact. Li Weidong has nothing but money. The public is different. They have technology, a market, and funds. Now Skoda is in urgent need of technology and funds.

Moreover, geographically, Germany and the Czech Republic are closer. 100 years ago, they were relatives by marriage, and Wolfsburg and Prague were also very close. Two years ago, Volkswagen was selected for an inevitable reason.

And at that time, the premise of choosing Volkswagen among many buyers was that it could not move out of the Czech Republic.

Li Weidong knew that he was inferior, and his purpose was to make money by picking up leaks. Naturally, he had no other high-level reasons to convince others, even his own team was suspicious, let alone others.

Li Weidong said: "Old man, according to the agreement at that time, Volkswagen would invest 90 billion marks, and now more than two years have passed, and they have only invested [-] million US dollars.

They are just trying to test whether Skoda is worth their continued investment. If Skoda does not improve in the short term, I think they will stop the loss and be out soon. Default is nothing to them!
But at this time, some people are optimistic, the effect will definitely be different, and it will strengthen the public's confidence, which will be much better for Skoda's development! "

Now Volkswagen only holds 30.00% of the shares, and has not yet made the next move. Li Weidong must have doubts about this. Volkswagen should not be short of money, so it is lack of confidence!

In other words, they have not yet reached an internal consensus to continue investing in Skoda, otherwise Li Weidong would not be given the opportunity to take advantage of the fire. Perhaps Kahn's retirement is also an important reason.

"Now Skoda has made great improvements, and its quality management is gradually improving. This is very important for a production-oriented enterprise!" The old man has worked in this industry before, so he can naturally point out the problems to the point.

The old Bell continued: "Moreover, the suppliers of Skoda and Volkswagen are basically the same now, the quality of parts has been improved, and the performance in the first half of this year has improved, so it is only a matter of time before Volkswagen acquires her. It will be terminated because of the substitution!"

Sometimes arguing is meaningless. After three sentences are finished and the other party is not arguing, then the matter basically has no result, or the arguing is not for the result, but just to achieve other goals.

And the current situation is that the old man has already agreed, deliberately making it very difficult, and looks very embarrassed. As for the purpose, everyone knows that doing good deeds, how can there be such a naive person.

Originally, I wanted to get more benefits, but this discussion was endless. The old man wanted to tell Li Weidong that it was not so easy to talk about it, and he had to pay a handling fee.

Li Weidong has deviated from his original purpose and began to talk about Skoda's problems: "Their 30% shares are very cheap. This must be related to the environment and management at that time. Management is chaotic and corruption is serious!"

Corruption is so serious, it's a ghost if you don't doubt it. It is precisely because of this that the public is hesitating whether they can manage Skoda well!
Even Li Weidong himself suspects that he no longer trusts the current management. If the shareholding change is completed, management cleanup and assessment must be the most important issue, otherwise it will be a cancer.

The old man suddenly smiled and said: "Who can say what happened at that time, but it is already a fact, so who can do anything?"

The old man smiled strangely, and Li Weidong had a hard time thinking about what he said.

This old man is also a person with a story. He probably did a lot of corruption. He should also be a beneficiary of privatization. Otherwise, he would not have laughed so strangely at the sale of state-owned assets at that time.

It's easy to deal with shortcomings, but I'm afraid this old man is a serious gentleman.

"The old man is right, but a joint venture company is definitely better than a Volkswagen subsidiary. Maybe the old man can still keep a spark for the oldest automobile factory in the Czech Republic!"

"Besides, if I do business with Bell, I will definitely not lose money to him. Moreover, people like the old man are very welcome in our country. If the old man likes it, he can live in China permanently!"

Li Weidong saw the door, so naturally he had to quickly make an offer, he would not treat you badly, and he would make up for your son!

Li Weidong hasn't made an offer yet, so the old man naturally wants to hold back and bargain.

And whether it is the East or the West, the attitude towards children is the same. Wherever a child becomes an adult, he will be independent from his parents. It is just irresponsible parents or children making excuses for their indifference.

Almost all the love in the world is for being together, only the love of parents for their children is for better separation.

The old Bell is the father of a responsible person, so he naturally wants Bell to live a better life. After going through these changes, the old Bell realized that in a capitalist society, only having money can lead a better life.

Moreover, there was an intention to pay for this matter. Li Weidong didn't say that it was because he felt that talking about money directly was suspected of insulting people, and there was no room for relaxation.

Li Weidong is waiting for an opportunity, or waiting for the old man to make a price, but he is a thousand-year-old fox, how could he make a price, so Li Weidong can't continue to act in Liaozhai.

Fortunately, Old Bell is too old, and some old people have problems, such as frequent urination and urgency. After talking for a while, it is convenient for Old Bell to go.

Seeing the old man disappearing around the corner, Li Weidong said in a low voice, "Bell, tell the old man that I am willing to pay 100 million US dollars for hard work for every [-]% of the shares acquired!"

Two years ago, Volkswagen bought a 30% stake in Skoda for 50.00 million US dollars. Two years later, their financial situation has not improved. If Li Weidong buys at a premium of more than [-]%, there should be no problem.

Based on this price, the 1% introduction fee should still be negotiable. If Bell wants more, it is not impossible to negotiate. This is his offer, and others are naturally allowed to counter-offer.

Bell said with some excitement: "Okay, I will definitely tell my father!"

If the money was in the past, he would not be moved. He has this channel to earn so much, and with this channel, he will have more, but now it is different, earning 100 million US dollars requires a lot of energy from him.

Bell continued: "Li, you drink tea first, I'll come as soon as I go!"

Li Weidong knew that he was going to tell the old Bell, so he naturally had no objection. The purpose of his coming was to negotiate, how to negotiate this matter under the circumstances that he was sure of him.

Li Weidong fell behind at the first hand, and it is normal to be manipulated by others. Once someone says yes, you rush to come over. This is not much different from a fool.
