Rebirth is very troublesome

Chapter 802 The Arrogance of Downfall ([-])
You can say Bruce is greedy, but you can never deny his ability.

Although I don’t know how he managed to disrupt the negotiations between Geely and GM, it is enough to prove that he has considerable connections in GM.

In this case, Wang Yu naturally wants people to make the best use of them, and come up with enough temptations to drive Bruce to help him do his work.

"Mr. Wang, you are the best negotiating oriental businessman I have ever seen."

Bruce praised Wang Yu with a smile on his face, and at the same time stretched out his hand and said to Wang Yu: "I can only say that I try my best to do my job. This year, after GM went bankrupt and reorganized, the original President Wagner resigned, and the new CEO was Fritz Henderson. He is the one who intends to retain the Opel brand, so this matter is a bit difficult."

The implication may not be settled. Although it is not stated explicitly, it can be seen that Bruce still hopes that Wang Yu can consider Volvo's acquisition negotiations.

Wang Yu offered such conditions, but Bruce still showed an uncertain expression. It seemed that the rumors he heard in his previous life were true.

With the development of the automobile industry to this day, European technology has continued to prove its leading position on a global scale. Especially in China, which is currently becoming the world's largest market, the technological and quality advantages of European cars, or German cars, are unquestionable.

While GM's performance in other parts of the world is wailing, GM in Shanghai has dazzled Fritz Henderson's eyes with its strong performance in recent years. However, Opel is GM's bridgehead in Germany. Once this bridgehead is lost, It’s hard to imagine how convincing GM will be if it launches models with European technology in the future.

It was under such circumstances that newly appointed president Fritz Henderson opposed the sale of Opel.

In fact, the shadow of Opel can be seen in GM's new Regal and New Grand Hyatt. This is also one of the results achieved by GM retaining the Opel brand.

"Do your best and obey the destiny!"

Wang Yu said a proverb and then said with a smile: "After all, GM needs to find money to repay debts before the end of the bankruptcy protection law. This is an excellent breakthrough. Mr. Bruce should understand that the newly appointed president Fritz Henderson (Han Desheng) is in GM The inner world is not a one-word existence."

Looking at Wang Yu's smile, Bruce also smiled: "I know what you mean. For the directors behind it, saving the present is more important. Who can see clearly in the future?"

"Then. Happy cooperation!"

Bruce nodded: "Happy cooperation!"

After the two shook hands, Wang Yu told Guo Yuan: "Immediately arrange for the people below to set up an investment company in Hong Kong. Use this company to sign an agency contract worth 500 million yuan with Mr. Bruce. The content is to entrust Bruce." Mr. Wang helped the company comprehensively analyze the U.S. investment market.”

Of course, it is impossible to directly give money to Bruce, nor to use any of Wang Yu's current industries. It is the best choice to use a shell company that has nothing to do with Wang Yu to complete this entrustment contract.

"Bruce, this is a small token of my sincerity!"

This amount of money is equivalent to Bruce helping Wang Yu complete the acquisition of Opel, and the price is just over 12 billion yuan.

In fact, Bruce hasn't started anything yet.
So this kind of move made Bruce feel Wang Yu's wealth and determination at the same time.

"I'll go back and start working!"

Bruce bid farewell to Wang Yu in a very happy mood. Watching him leave, Guo Yuan asked: "Boss, Volvo is obviously a brand that GM is willing to sell to external parties. Why did you choose Opel? Could it be that Volvo is a brand that General Motors is willing to sell. Are you unwilling to compete with Geely?"

"This has nothing to do with Geely. It's mainly because I have some ideas."

Wang Yu sat down again and explained to Guo Yuan: "If we forcefully interfere with Geely's acquisition, it will be a trivial matter to have a feud with Geely. The key is that I don't want to be put in the spotlight. You must know Volvo's reputation in the Chinese market. Compared with Opel, it is still much higher."

"Is it because we have just entered this industry?"

After listening to Wang Yu's explanation, Guo Yuan thought thoughtfully: "At least so far, Guoke New Energy does not have any foundation or accumulation in car manufacturing. On the road to developing new energy vehicles, it is better to keep a low profile in the early stage."

"At least the pressure on your end will be much less."

Wang Yu’s explanation continued: “Once Volvo is acquired, this information will definitely be hyped up by the media. At that time, everyone’s eyes will be fixed on Guoke New Energy, waiting to see the first product we produce after acquiring foreign brands. What does a car look like? If it doesn’t do as well as imagined, Guoke New Energy’s reputation will plummet, and no amount of money can buy back this kind of loss.”

If the acquired brand becomes Opel, Opel's domestic sales in recent years can be described as appalling. For a car brand with German quality and technology, the cars produced after being acquired by Chinese people are a huge disappointment.
So how much energy and time will Shell New Energy Vehicles spend in the future to smooth this matter?
Who will still believe that Guoke New Energy can build good cars?
This is the actual difficulty that Wang Yu considers. When he develops new energy vehicles, he wants to follow the path of obscene development. Now that he has to be exposed in the eyes of the media and the public, Wang Yu feels that he may have taken over a very hot company. When the time comes, I can’t swallow the potato, and I can’t bear to throw it away.
He would rather sit in a corner, slowly absorb and accumulate Opel's technology, experience and other useful things, and slowly build a car even like Wuling Hongguang. Without attention, there will be no pressure, and when new energy battery technology reaches a breakthrough , it won’t be too late for Guoke new energy vehicles to take off again.

After listening to Wang Yu's explanation, Guo Yuan finally fully understood her boss's thinking.

"Boss, I understand your idea, and I will definitely implement this idea in the future."

Guo Yuan said seriously to Wang Yu: "Quietly accumulate strength, wait until the dawn of new industries, and achieve overtaking in corners!"

"Bruce will definitely do his best to lobby GM directors to put pressure on Fritz Henderson, and ultimately facilitate acquisition negotiations between us and GM."

Wang Yu nodded and acknowledged Guo Yuan's understanding, so he continued: "You and the newly formed negotiation team are ready to communicate with GM at any time. I will ask Song Qing to follow the development of the incident. She majored in finance, but I I don’t want her to take the investment path.”

"Are you interested in cultivating her ability in M&A negotiations?"

Guo Yuan immediately understood the meaning of Wang Yu's words: "Yes, our group will only get bigger and bigger in the future, and the business of mergers and acquisitions will definitely not be less. The group level does need such a team specifically responsible for such matters. Is it just Song Qing?"

In Guo Yuan's eyes, Song Qing switched jobs from Zhou Wuyang to Wang Yu halfway, so she asked such a question.

"I've known her since 03!" Wang Yu smiled slightly at Guo Yuan and said, "She was the one who passed on Zhou Wuyang's unusual information to me, and she was credited with resolving the first crisis of the Guoke phone. Her share is in it.”

"what?"

Guo Yuan, who knew this for the first time, was stunned. After a while, she opened her eyes wide and asked, "Boss, is Song Qing the commercial room you trained?"

"How old was Song Qing in 03?"

Wang Yu shook his head and did not continue to explain. He just said lightly: "You only need to know one thing, she is a trustworthy person!"

"Well, I see!"

Although Guo Yuan was extremely curious, she couldn't continue asking if Wang Yu didn't tell her.

While agreeing to Wang Yu, he thought to himself: If he went back and asked Song Qing to tell him, he might be able to understand the story inside.

Since she couldn't talk about Song Qing anymore, Guo Yuan began to care about the most important things.

"Boss, if this acquisition can really be completed smoothly"

"What do you want to say?"

Wang Yu held half a cigar in his hand and looked at Guo Yuan with a smile while smoking.

"That's 12 billion yuan!"

Guo Yuan said slightly worriedly: "It will be very difficult to divert such a large amount of cash flow from the group. Besides, you have more important plans in the southwest. I'm afraid that there will be problems in terms of funds."

"Are you worried?"

Wang Yu pointed out Guo Yuan's little thought: "Don't I just want to ask where Mr. Bai went and whether there was any other income?"

Guo Yuan's face turned slightly red, and she could only nod her head under Wang Yu's gaze: "Boss, does President Bai have extra security?"

"Knowingly asking!"

"The matter involves myself. If I care about it, it will lead to chaos!"

It was extremely rare for Guo Yuan, a cold and abstinent person, to act coquettishly in front of Wang Yu: "I was being petty just now for this reason. I will accept your punishment no matter what you do later!"

"Really?"

Wang Yu smiled incredulously, and then changed the topic: "Before Bruce officially started lobbying, I went shopping in London these two days. The clothing tailoring industry here is still good. The British style is elegant, subtle, Retro and aloof. It should suit you quite well!"

"Boss, I have a lot of preparation work to do these two days."

Just as Guo Yuan was about to resist, she saw a playful look in Wang Yu's eyes.

For some reason, Guo Yuan's cheeks slowly turned red when she was looked at like this.

Turning her face away and looking at the busy hotel lobby, Guo Yuan nodded gently: "I know, I'll take Sisi to go shopping in the past two days to get a few customized outfits!"

"Remember to go to Savile Row."

Wang Yu pressed out the cigar in his hand, stood up and made an explanation before leaving.

Wang Yu, who had just walked out not far away, stopped and waved to Chi Guocai and Mu Shaofeng who were following them.

"Do you like watching football games?"

Chi Guocai shook his head, but Mu Shaofeng's eyes lit up and he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Wang Yu smiled and asked Mu Shaofeng: "Help me check if there are any Manchester United or Arsenal games in the past two days. If so, get some tickets and let's watch the game live."

Starting from the subprime mortgage crisis in 08, the economic crisis that spread from the United States to the world has been quite turbulent. Coupled with the ongoing European debt crisis, life in the UK will certainly not be easy.

If you don’t touch domestic football, you can still try the Premier League. After playing for a few years, when Damao and the Middle Eastern tycoons intervene, you can make a lot of money by changing hands!

　Happy National day!
