The strongest peasant city

Chapter 1854 Acquisition Storm!

GM headquarters, inside Francis' office.

Francis stared dumbfounded at Harding, who was forcibly taken into a police car by the police on the TV screen, thinking that the world was crazy.The president turned into a rapist in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, Francis didn't have a heart attack, otherwise he would have a heart attack and die.

In fact, in Francis' current mood, he really wished he could just close his eyes and let it be over.Because of the anti-monopoly lawsuit against Longhao Group, the reputation of GM Group in the world has been greatly affected.The original car emperor has become the current car robber. Fortunately, the exposure of Harding's scandal has diverted people's attention. Otherwise, the streets are still full of demonstrations against GM.

However, the impact suffered by GM Group can already be said to be heavy.First in China, almost all GM 4S stores were closed under pressure.Although the sales volume has been shrinking in the past, it is still there anyway, but now the sales volume has completely become salted duck eggs.

In other countries in Asia and Europe, GM's sales data is getting worse day by day, showing an infinite trend towards zero.In country M, although the situation is a little better, the trend of shrinking sales is also very obvious.Accompanied by shrinking sales came a sharp increase in inventory pressure. Not to mention the maintenance of so many cars, a huge sum of money was required every day. Even the warehouse rent alone had already put a strong pressure on GM.

In order to minimize inventory, the GM Group has stepped up promotional efforts on the one hand, and now GM cars are cheaper than rotten cabbage, and on the other hand, it has begun to close production lines on a large scale.The production line was shut down, which directly led to the layoff of a large number of GM employees.

Because of GM's position in the world's auto industry, GM employees are among the best paid workers in the world.It is easy to check in from luxury, but difficult to check in from luxury!Accustomed to the petty bourgeois life before, these employees suddenly became poor, and naturally they refused to let it go!Francis has to endure the abuse and accusations from these people every day. One can imagine how sad the days are.

Originally, as long as Francis gritted his teeth and withstood the pressure with his masculinity, and won the anti-monopoly lawsuit against Longhao Group, all problems would be solved easily, but there was a problem with the things he was originally sure of.FT and several other auto giants in the island country could not bear the pressure and withdrew the anti-monopoly lawsuit against Longhao Group, leaving GM to fight alone, which made Francis, who was already a little overwhelmed , become harder.

During the call with Yutian Sano, Francis greeted Yutian Sano's maternal relatives several times, but to no avail.Now that Harding has stepped down again, Francis has lost his only backer, which has really put him on the cusp. Every second that Francis spends now can be described as suffering.

"You bastard! If you don't step down sooner or later, but you step down now, isn't this adding trouble to me?"

Seeing Harding's useless face on TV, Francis yelled angrily.

"Mr. Francis." Ye Lina pushed the door and walked in.The GM Huaxia branch was useless, and Francis transferred Ye Lina back to the headquarters.Seeing the uneasiness on Ye Lina's face, Francis' heart trembled involuntarily, and asked "Yelina, what happened?"

"Mr. Francis, just got the news that Longhao Group has officially announced that it has acquired General Motors!" Yelena said in a low voice.

"Hahaha, I thought it was something, it turned out to be this! Lina, don't worry, didn't Longhao Group announce the acquisition of our General Motors Group in a high-profile way last time? At that time, the whole world was shocked, but the result How about it, it's just a joke with a lot of thunder and rain." Francis curled his lips indifferently.

"But Mr. Francis, Longhao Group seems to be coming for real this time! They not only announced that they would acquire General Motors, but also announced that they would acquire FT, Volvo and almost all the auto giants in the island country!"

"What are you kidding? Does Longhao Group run a banknote printing factory?" Francis asked Ye Lina with a look of astonishment.In his impression, Ye Lina is not a woman who likes to joke.

Ye Lina smiled wryly, and said quietly: "Mr. Francis, what I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can go to the Internet and read the speech delivered by Hu Rong, the president of Longhao Group."

Francis hurriedly turned on the computer and searched, and there were hundreds of millions of messages about Hu Rong's speech.Francis clicked on a video casually, and Hu Rong on the screen was full of spirits, and with a voice full of pride and ambition, officially announced to the world that Longhao Group would acquire GM, FT and other world automobile companies. The giant's news seemed to be publishing a crusade article. At this time, Hu Rong couldn't think of anything about women's weakness.

"How is this possible? Where did Longhao Group get so much money? Even if their recent sales are very good, they will not have such strong funds to support them to acquire so many world-class auto giants at the same time! "Francis couldn't believe it was true anyway.But he agreed with Ye Lina's words, Hu Rong in the video didn't look like she was joking or bragging.Before he knew it, Francis' forehead was covered with cold sweat.

"Mr. Francis, don't forget about the relationship between Hu Rong and Li Xiaogang. And Li Xiaogang recently took advantage of the subprime mortgage crisis in country M to steal at least 20 trillion yuan of wealth from the stock market in country M. If It is he who fully supports Hu Rong's words behind the scenes, and it is not impossible to acquire GM and several major auto giants in the world at the same time! Now it seems that the reason why Longhao Group no longer mentioned the acquisition of GM some time ago is not Because they lack funds, I'm afraid it's because they have transferred all their funds to the stock market of country M." Ye Lina said with a wry smile.

"20 trillion!? My God! Why is God always on the side of this Chinese lunatic? They have 20 trillion, who can stop them from buying us?" Francis sighed with his head in despair .

"Mr. Francis, if we want to stop the crazy acquisition of Longhao Group, we can't do anything economically. We can only think of a way politically." Ye Lina said.

"Politics? Haha, now that Harding has been arrested, we have lost our last backer. Politically, our capital is probably even less pitiful than economically." Francis was full of frustration. murmured.

He has been in business for so many years and has always been smooth sailing. He has never been so downcast.

"Harding is finished, but McKinley is on the rise! I suggest that you, sir, approach McKinley.

After all, the GM Group is the glory of the people of country M. I believe that McKinley may not just sit back and watch as the GM Group is acquired by the Huaxia people.As long as he is willing to help, then everything will turn around. "

"But we have always supported Harding in the general election of country M, and we have been very negligent of McKinley. I am afraid that McKinley will hold a grudge, and looking for him is just asking for humiliation." Francis shook his head and muttered muttered.

"If you don't try, how do you know it won't work? Maybe McKinley is not as narrow-minded as you imagined. In short, if we don't want General Motors to fall into the hands of the Chinese, we must not give up any hope!"

Ye Lina encouraged Francis.

Ye Lina's words finally awakened Francis, Francis pondered for a moment, and said quietly: "You are right, I will try anyway."

The office of Japan's Prime Minister Yukio Yamamoto.Yutian Sano rushed in like a gust of wind, opened his mouth and shouted at Yukio Yamamoto, "Longhao Group is too much, how can they do this!?"

Yukio Yamamoto looked at him with a slight frown, and asked in a deep voice, "What happened, Sano-kun?"

Youtian Sano said very annoyed: "Our FT has officially withdrawn the anti-monopoly complaint against Longhao Group, and I personally wrote to Hu Rong, the president of Longhao Group, expressing our apology to her and requesting her Forgive me, and offered to start a series of sincere cooperation with Longhao Group. I have lowered my profile so much that I no longer even care about my dignity. If Longhao Group has even a little bit of conscience, they should also Are you satisfied? But I never imagined that Longhao Group would be so domineering that it would buy our FT Group, this is really deceiving!"

"What? Such a thing?" Yukio Yamamoto was taken aback, and asked in surprise, "Where did you hear it?"

Yutian Sano said emotionally: "Hu Rong's speech has been spread all over the world, and you, the prime minister of an island country, don't even know about it?"

Yukio Yamamoto's expression darkened, and he said coldly: "Yutian Sano, you are right, I am the Prime Minister of the island country, but I am a politician, not a businessman. There are so many things to do, I don’t have time to pay attention to the things in your mall!”

Hearing that Yukio Yamamoto's tone was wrong, Yuten Sano was stunned for a moment, and then he woke up. It was obviously unwise to spill his anger on Yukio Yamamoto.

Coughing, Yutian Sano said with some guilt: "Yamamoto-kun, I didn't mean to be disrespectful to you, I'm just about to be driven crazy by Longhao Group, please forgive me!"

Yukio Yamamoto said coldly: "Madness can't solve any problems. At the beginning, we dealt with the Longhao Group first, so we attracted the revenge of the Longhao Group now. It's no fault of him. However, the Longhao Group How likely do you think it is to acquire FT Group?"

Yutian Sano said bitterly: "I'm not sure about this. Originally, with the financial resources of Longhao Group, it would be difficult to acquire our FT, but it can be done. But the problem is, now Longhao Group is in While proposing to acquire FT, he also proposed to acquire GM and several other European auto giants. This would require a huge amount of financial resources, which is simply an astronomical figure. At first glance, it may even sound crazy, but I am not sure whether Longhao Group is Seriously, it's still scaring us."
