Rebirth is very troublesome

Chapter 806: The Arrogance of Downfall ([-])
Although the team was formed in advance, everyone from Wang Yu to Guo Yuan regarded this acquisition as simple.

This also exposes the bottleneck Wang Yu is currently facing from another aspect. In the early stage, he used too many "own people", relied on the information gap of rebirth, and relied on massive funds harvested from overseas financial markets. A business kingdom emerged.

This business kingdom can still make all the difference in the current domestic market, but once it is released to travel in the international market, it will immediately reveal its immature side.

To put it bluntly, Engine Technology’s existing corporate organizational structure and equity model are simply childish and ridiculous in the eyes of professionals in the Omi market.

This Opel acquisition will encounter more problems in the future, which will expose many flaws in Wang Yu's system.

It is a bad thing, but also a good thing!

In the next few years, Wang Yu may no longer do detailed management. He will focus mainly on checking for leaks and filling them, especially when it comes to system shortcomings. Only by laying a solid foundation can engine technology be successful. Qualifications for overseas gaming!
Of course, this is something to talk about later. At present, Wang Yu only vaguely feels the need in this regard, and is not so anxious that he needs to change immediately.

"What are the two conditions on Opel's side?"

The call continued. After talking about the three conditions from GM headquarters, Wang Yu asked about the contents of the two conditions proposed by Opel.

"The first is the security aspect."

Guo Yuan responded: "Ouba believes that even if this acquisition is completed, there should not be large-scale layoffs and salary cuts in Germany. This must be included in the negotiations and signed into the agreement."

Wang Yu was not surprised to hear this, but also had a headache.

You must know that Omi's worker welfare system is quite high, and it doesn't matter if it is high. The key is that the efficiency of their work is completely different from that of China.

Which of the Fuyao Glass, TSMC and other companies that went to build factories in the United States in the memory of the past life did not have problems due to this reason?

In the early years, O&M companies still had technology monopolies, which could generate excess profits to support this system. However, with the rise of China's manufacturing industry, many technology monopolies no longer exist. The prices of some industrial products have been hit to the floor, and excess profits no longer exist. If they exist, their system will naturally not be able to sustain it.

This is also one of the reasons why the OME industry has moved to Asia, especially the United States, to the point where the industry has been hollowed out.

Take shipbuilding as an example. In the 80s, the American shipbuilding industry still had orders for more than 90 ships every year. However, after entering the 0s, in addition to military orders, civilian orders dropped directly to zero.

So in the years before Wang Yu was reborn, two-thirds of the world's civilian ship orders were occupied by Chinese manufacturing.

The key is that the profits of the domestic shipbuilding industry are incredibly low, and the only remaining shipyards in the United States are producing military ships with sky-high bills.

Considering the wage standards for shipbuilding workers in the United States, which Chinese shipbuilding company would dare to invest and build a factory in the United States?

The upper management of Opel also understands this truth. They are not worried about the R&D center. The key is the production center. They are afraid that the acquirer from China will not be willing to bear the biggest burden of the headquarters and directly move the production center to China. The cost there can be Much cheaper than in Germany.

"What about the second point?"

He did not discuss this in detail with Guo Yuan on the phone. After all, the formal negotiations had not yet begun, and Wang Yu had no intention of impressing the Opel headquarters.

"The second point involves the management side."

Guo Yuan's voice became quieter and quieter: "Opel raised cultural differences and believed that even if the acquisition was completed, it would not be appropriate to place too many Eastern management executives in the German headquarters."

The reason why the voice became quieter and quieter was because Guo Yuan also felt that this was too much.

The company has been acquired by you, but I am not allowed to manage you too much. How in the world is this reasonable?
Let me say something irresponsible: Labor and management are rich and willful, and they are willing to bankrupt the company. Does it have anything to do with you?

Many people may have this concern in the current era, but for Wang Yu, who was reborn in 2023, this is not really a big problem, because as China becomes the world's second largest economy, more and more With the occurrence of cross-border acquisitions, this cultural difference concern is no longer so serious.

"This matter is not a big problem. Don't worry too much."

Wang Yu in turn comforted Guo Yuan: "I will join in the formal negotiations and communicate with Opel on this issue."

With Wang Yu's words, Guo Yuan felt a lot more at ease, and her voice gradually increased and she continued to report other miscellaneous things.

Wang Yu, who was distracted, was talking on his mobile phone and pacing, gradually moving away from his original position.

Song Qiuyun looked at Wang Yu, who was walking back and forth in the distance, and felt that his call would not end for a while, so he said to Bai Jieru: "Mr. Bai, is your new assistant Mi Lai good?"

Bai Jieru's eyes were originally on Wang Yu, but she looked away after hearing Song Qiuyun's question.

"A very spiritual little girl."

"You know that's not what I'm talking about."

"You mean he looks no worse than your Director Qin?"

Bai Jieru smiled meaningfully and said to Song Qiuyun: "The skin is much prettier. I have seen a few who are prettier than Qin Shiyu and Mi Lai. Everyone has their own fate, isn't it? Everyone can become Qin Shiyu."

Speaking of Qin Shiyu, Bai Jieru couldn't help but sigh, with a look of envy on her face: "Your Director Qin has a sharp eye. He followed the right person early. Now that he has landed, I haven't even landed yet."

Song Qiuyun nodded: "I saw Mr. Bai in the distance just now. It's only a matter of time before you go ashore."

"Lend your auspicious words!"

Bai Jieru didn't know what Song Qiuyun was thinking, so she glanced at her and said, "Don't worry, Mi Lai can't find the palm of my hand."

Song Qiuyun responded to Bai Jieru without humility: "Whether it is the eldest lady or the second lady, or Mr. Bai and Mr. Dong from HK, Mr. Zhang from the southwest, and Mr. Wu from the capital. The existing structure is stable. Just like you said. That way, beauty is beauty, fate is fate!"

Bai Jieru did not continue to respond to Song Qiuyun. Firstly, she knew that this woman was following Wang Yu without any desire. Secondly, she had seen Wang Yu put away his mobile phone.

After ending the call with Guo Yuan, Wang Yu frowned and returned to Bai Jieru.

"Why, things are not going well?"

"The first contact is nothing more than a posturing between the two parties. It doesn't matter whether it goes smoothly or not."

Wang Yu rubbed his temples and said: "It's just that Guo Yuan suddenly discovered that the whole thing was complicated, and many of the previous plans had to be overthrown and started over. I also have to do a lot of work when I go back. The focus now is not on the difficulty." It’s not difficult, it’s complicated!”

"Normally, such large-scale cross-border commercial acquisitions are not uncomplicated. There are cases that have been discussed for several years or more than ten years. Where are you doing here?"

Bai Jieru looked like someone who had been through this before: "Just think of it as a drill. Your company will have to go through more similar business acquisitions in the future. It will be good to have this experience."

"Don't even think about being lazy."

Wang Yu smiled and said to Bai Jieru: "I will talk to the Shanghai Municipal Government when I go back this time. They will probably ask for shares. At that time, the entire project financing will be left to Yonghua. This team will be yours." Responsible."

A wry smile appeared on Bai Jieru's face: "Master, if there are state-owned assets investing in the company, do you think it will be Yonghua's turn to provide that part of the funds?"

"I know, it's either Pudong Development Bank or one of the four major banks!"

Wang Yu curled his lips and said: "Even if the state-owned assets come in, it will only be part of it. The other big ones will have to raise funds from your Yonghua. And you are familiar with the banking system. If this kind of coordination work is not left to you, how can it still be handed over to you?" To whom?" At this point, Wang Yu smacked his lips and said: "Speaking of coordination matters, it seems that part of this money is really going to Goldman Sachs. Tsk. Did Bruce expect that I would go to him again? "

Hearing Wang Yu's resentment, Bai Jieru chuckled.

"Sir, are you beginning to feel that you lack professionals under your command?"

After hearing Bai Jieru's words, Wang Yu's mouth twitched, and after a long while he said: "It's not just for you, I really want to start introducing a large number of professional managers now, and many of you will be left out."

This is a fact. Whether it is Dong Xuan, Zhang Jingyan, Qin Shiyu, Guo Yuan, or even Wu Ziyi and others, with their current control capabilities, if Wang Yu is not behind them, even if they have not introduced too many professional managers, People, they are all struggling to hold on.

From Bai Jieru's perspective, it will take at least three to five years for Qin Shiyu, Guo Yuan, Wu Ziyi and other talents to grow up.

When the time comes when both ability and qualifications are sufficient, Wang Yu will introduce high-end professional managers to assist them, and then they will be able to control them.

Thinking of this, Bai Jieru couldn't help but feel sorry for Wang Yu.

"Master, you are too much"

This was what he meant, but the words were not spoken after all. After all, Wang Yu's love-minded nature was a good thing for the women around him.

In Bai Jieru's view, many women around Wang Yu no longer have a simple dependence relationship with him. This little man has built a large platform for many people, including himself, to fully display their talents, dreams, and ambitions.
Recalling what Song Qiuyun said just now, it is a typical vested interest group that does not want to share the cake.

On this point alone, Bai Jieru is also a member of this group and should be on the same line as Song Qiuyun and the others.

"It's too good for you, isn't it?"

Wang Yu smiled: "Who told me that this is the only thing I can give you?"

As he spoke, he walked towards the villa; "Guo Yuan will lead the team directly back to the Magic City in the past two days. You will stay here for a while. Please pay more attention to the acquisition of the West Ham Club. Don't do this wave of publicity. Afraid of spending money, the bigger the fuss, the better.”

"Master, are you going back to the Magic City too?"

Bai Jieru put her arm around Wang Yu again: "The acquisition of West Ham will not be finalized until January next year. You won't leave me alone in London, will you?"

"If there is hope, I will still participate in the final negotiations."

Wang Yu comforted Bai Jieru and said, "And I have to talk to Bruce in the next two days. In the end, Opel's acquisition will have to involve Goldman Sachs. This money can't be saved."

"Once the acquisition is completed, the next step will be the mining layout in Brazil tomorrow."

Bai Jieru knew some of Wang Yu's plans and discussed as they walked: "Once the layout of the new energy industry is completed, it will be a lot easier in the next few years, right?"

"Well, the industrial layout of several large areas is basically close to completion, and the next step is to make repairs."

Wang Yu thought for a while and then said: "There won't be any big moves in the next few years, just practice your internal skills quietly."

"I have a hunch."

Bai Jieru blinked her eyes: "In the next few years, the domestic market may not require you to pay too much attention, but the Southeast Asian market will consume a considerable amount of your time and energy."

"This is also something difficult to say."

After entering the villa, Song Qiuyun took the initiative to help Wang Yu take off his coat; "Boss, the Express card you handed over last time has been all taken care of. Do you want Wen Jing to hand it over directly?"

"Let Wen Jing pass it on directly. I've been stuck in London recently. I'm all over the place. I'll handle it one by one. I don't know how long it will take."

"What American Express card?"

Bai Jieru was handing the coat to Mi Lai. When she heard the conversation between Wang Yu and Song Qiuyun, she asked with a curious smile: "Do you have a share for me?"

"Director Guo went to Savile Row to buy clothes a few days ago."

Song Qiuyun held Wang Yu's long coat in his hand and casually explained what happened that day, and then said: "The boss felt that this matter was too embarrassing, so he asked Wen Jing to apply for a batch of American Express cards, and each card had pre-loaded The 200 million yuan is convenient for everyone to use when going abroad, because the processing time happens to be at the end of December, so in the future, it will be paid once at the end of December every year. No matter how much is used, the 12 million yuan will be replenished."

"Master, are you paying living expenses?"

Bai Jieru started teasing Wang Yu again, and of course she didn't fall behind in her actions. She turned around and put her arms around Wang Yu's neck and gave him a passionate kiss.

"Then I'm going to go shopping in London these days. I was thinking about buying some things a few days ago, but I felt distressed when I saw the prices. Now I can buy as much as I want."

"Tsk, my money bag is in your hands, are you still short of money?"

"My personal annual salary is only 300 million yuan, okay?"

Bai Jieru curled her lips and said: "The equivalent of rice dollars is less than 40. If you put it in a gold-selling cave like London, it will be gone without any trouble."

"Don't you know how to invest some money in Luo Qianqian?"

Wang Yu despised Bai Jieru: "I didn't know she could help you make money?"

"Does she raise me or do you raise me?"

Bai Jieru blinked and looked at Wang Yu: "You have thought about it!"

"Ha ha."

Wang Yu always disdained Bai Jieru's provocations.

Faced with disdain, Bai Jieru pursed her lips, who made Luo Qianqian less capable?

"I'm going shopping!"

Thinking that she would soon have an extra 200 million yuan of "pocket money" per year, Bai Jieru's mood improved instantly. She leaned over the back of the sofa and whispered in Wang Yu's ear: "I saw it a few days ago. Let’s get to Guo Yuan’s and the others’ clothes. Sir, I didn’t expect you to be very interested in British-style clothes?”

Wang Yu turned to look at Bai Jieru: "Guo Yuan's own temperament is consistent with the cold British retro style. Don't you know your own style?"

Bai Jieru was stunned for a moment, then curled her lips and said: "Sir, if you say that, I will understand. Isn't it the style of a noble lady in the Victorian era?"

After saying that, he stood up and greeted Mi Lai: "Come on, go shopping with me."

Mi Lai had just hung up her coat and was about to go out again now
"Tsk, I found that your style is a bit similar to Guo Yuan's?"

Bai Jieru touched her chin and said to Mi Lai: "I'll help you with two outfits later."
