Chapter 0132 Isn’t it, you’re going to go out of business and still drag it like this?!
Sima Jianyun and his party went to Daimler Benz Automobile Company earlier.
Just got out of the car, and saw the bustling scene in front of them, which was a little unexpected for them.
Is this a factory for the production of auto parts, or is it a lively open-air market?
Perhaps, the latter is more appropriate.
There are people who sell bread, butter, and daily necessities, but there are no auto parts.
Sima Jianyun, Qin Rui, and Li Ning walked around and found that these people had at least one thing in common, that is, most of them wore clothes from the Müller Benz car company.
I guess they are all employees of this company.
I just don’t know what the reason is that they all choose to set up stalls on the road outside the company instead of going to the factory to continue to work in production.
At this time, a staff member in a suit quickly ran towards Sima Jianyun.
“Excuse me, is it Mr. Sima?”
“I am, who are you?”
Sima Jianyun nodded and asked.
“Is it really you? That’s great! ”
The visitor took off the top hat on his head, bowed to Sima Jianyun thoughtfully, and said with a smile.
“I’ve been waiting for you here for a long time. Oh yes, I haven’t introduced myself yet, my name is Loew Daimler, and I’m currently one of the directors of this company. ”
“It turned out to be Mr. Loew, luckily it will be lucky.”
After all, this outside was not the place to speak, so Loew Daimler invited Sima Jianyun and his party to the company’s living room.
On the way into the company, there were few living people, even the dog who was guarding the door, lying on the ground weakly, so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and it seemed that there should not be much to eat.
Sima Jianyun saw all this in his eyes, but did not say anything.
He just silently assessed in his mind how much it would cost to take all of Daimler-Benz.
Arriving at the drawing room, Loew Daimler asked the secretary to serve coffee and dessert, and it was obvious that he had tried his best to provide the best meal, but the crudeness of the food and coffee was still beyond Sima Jianyun’s imagination.
To change to another place, such a poor water drink, he was willing to get up and leave on the spot for 400.
However, considering that the other party is Daimler Benz Motor Company, the most basic respect is given to the other party.
Moreover, maybe this is already the limit of what they can take out.
“Your company has just experienced a wave of layoffs recently, right? I read in the newspapers that your overseas factories have closed two locations and laid off about 5,000 overseas employees. ”
A wry smile spread across Loew Daimler’s face.
“No way, now the economy is sluggish, the whole world is in the Great Depression, and people’s desire to buy cars is declining.”
“Even if they want to buy a car, they now see fuel efficiency as the most important condition, and there is no one.”
Sima Jianyun nodded.
“Of course.”
“At different times, the purchasing characteristics reflected by consumers are in line with the current economic situation.”
“As Mr. Loew said, since the economy is in a slump now, the money in the hands of the people will be taken more seriously, and the purchase of cars will naturally be more cautious.”
“Who says it isn’t?”
Loew Daimler smiled wryly and shook his head.
“Our design department is working intensively on the design of micro and small cars, and as long as we survive this difficult period, we will definitely be able to regain our strength.”
“I think so too.”
Sima Jianyun nodded and looked in agreement.
In the next second, his words suddenly changed.
“However, if you want to survive this time, you have to keep burning money. Maintaining such a large factory is not an easy task. ”
“Every month, just the basic salary of the employees should be an astronomical amount, right? And most importantly, no one knows how long this economic depression will last. ”
“If, I mean if… If your company does not hold out until the dawn of victory, it burns out of money and falls.”
Sima Jianyun didn’t continue until the point was reached.
Loew Daimler was not a stupid person, and he certainly understood what Sima Jianyun meant.
And there is really nothing to hide, because this is what they are worried about.
“Mr. Sima, we Daimler Benz Automobile Company is the first person in the world to invent the automobile, and it is also the first person to put the car into the commercial field, and the century-old brand reputation of Mercedes-Benz cannot be destroyed in the hands of our generation.”
Loew Daimler said categorically.
“There is boldness, there are ideas, but it is not enough. I’m a very realistic person, and with courage and ideas, there is no way to do things, I think you should understand, right? ”
Sima Jianyun said with a smile.
Of course, he understood what Loew was advocating a wave of Mercedes-Benz brands at this time, and what his month was for.
It is very simple, it is to want Wang Po to sell melons and increase her value.
Fortunately, in the next transaction, they can win a higher selling price for themselves precisely because of this, which is a problem on the side – the money in them is probably not enough to burn.
Obviously, the timing of Sima Jianyun’s appearance was very good.
It hit exactly the lifeblood and seven inches of Daimler-Benz cars.
They desperately need money now to get through this.
What Sima Jianyun had in his hand was money, although it was not his, but Qin Xuan’s.
But it doesn’t make much difference!
After all, he was holding the ‘Shang Fang Sword’, which was equivalent to replacing Qin Xuan’s reign in the four wilds
“Let’s be honest, how much does your company need?”
Hearing Sima Jianyun’s words, Loew couldn’t help but be stunned.
Before starting today’s conversation, he really thought of a lot of tricks, all of which without exception wanted to get money out of Sima Jianyun’s pocket.
But what I didn’t expect was that after a few words, the other party actually threw Wang Fried directly.
Even if it is a fighting landlord, it is not so quick for the king to blow up, right?
Loew was slightly confused.
But soon, he reacted.
“I wonder what Mr. Dead Horse wants to get?”
“How much does it cost to wholly acquire your company?”
Sima Jianyun said indifferently.
These words, listening to Löw’s ears, were nothing less than a thunderbolt
“What?!”
He looked at Sima Jianyun with a shocked face.
“You want to buy Daimler-Benz Group?”
Sima Jianyun nodded lightly: “My boss, I have such an idea”
“No, no, how can this be! Mercedes-Benz is a century-old brand, and it has always been almost a totem-like existence in our country… If I do this, what is the difference between me and traitorous seeking glory? ”
Loew Daimler was quite repulsed by Sima Jianyun’s proposal and shook his head repeatedly.
“So what do you say I should do? Mr. Loew, I am a businessman, not a philanthropist. You can’t expect me to wave the money in my bag to provide you with humanitarian assistance, can you? ”
“Stake! I…… I can dilute a portion of the equity to your boss. ”
Loew Daimler thought for a moment and said.
“Diluting a portion of the equity?”
When Sima Jianyun heard this, he couldn’t help but smile.
“If it is an original stock, I think my boss can accept it.”
“But if it’s the second round or even the third round of diluted equity, do you think my boss is wronged?”
Sima Jianyun, who had always been gentle, became fierce in his tone when he said the second half of this last sentence.
“No, no, no, I didn’t mean that.”
Loew suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
He is well aware that the person in front of him is a key factor in the continued continuation of their company.
But the other party’s asking price is inevitably too high.
Either the entire company is packaged for him, or the original shares of the company are taken out.
No matter which option it is, it is something that Loew Daimler does not want to see, and in his mind, he actually intends to give Sima Jianyun a three-round diluted share.
If you have a shareholding, it should be between 10% and 8%.
The price that Sima Jianyun had to pay was fifty million US dollars.
“Wait a minute, Mr. Loew, before I came here, I asked our company’s actuary to conduct a round of financial actuarial based on your company’s financial statements.”
“The conclusion is very unoptimistic, if your company wants to completely get out of the current predicament, you need to raise at least 55,000 US dollars, not counting the cost you need to pay to dismantle the other two overseas factories.”
“That’s not a small amount, especially at a time like this.”
Sima Jianyun was constantly putting pressure on him.
But what surprised Sima Jianyun was that this guy was far more tenacious than he thought.
Even though he had already said this, although he looked precarious, he was unexpectedly very strong, and he never let go.
“Honorable Mr. Sima, the maximum concession I can accept is to give you a small part of the original shares, plus a part of the diluted shares as a supplement.”
“I need to know the quota of specific shares to determine if your company is good faith in trading.”
Sima Jianyun said nonchalantly.
In fact, just now, if it was a normal sentence, Sima Jianyun would directly raise his legs and leave, and it was impossible to talk more nonsense with him.
But now it’s different, on the one hand, he is very curious about where this Loew Daimler’s bottom line is.
On the other hand, I am also curious about what kind of offer he will make.
“$60 million, 1% of the original shares, supporting 8% of the three rounds of diluted shares!”
In the end, Loew Daimler threw out such an almost outrageous offer.
Sima Jianyun even had some doubts for a moment, whether this guy was really ignorant and fearless, or was he deliberately joking with himself.
Sixty million US dollars, 1% of the original shares, matching, is it actually diluted to the third round of shares?!
Who gave him the courage, so ruthless?
You know, the market value of Daimler Benz is just over eight billion at this time.
That’s it, and 60 million dollars, just Nima is outrageous!
Obviously, this kind of offer, in Sima Jianyun’s view, is that there is no willingness to cooperate at all.
“If that’s the case, I’m sorry, Mr. Loew. I can’t accept it. ”
Sima Jianyun stood up and prepared to leave.
“Wait a minute! Mr. Dead Horse, what about… Otherwise, can you wait one more day? ”
Loew Daimler hurriedly said.
“I know this may be excessive, but I hope you can give me a little more time to fix it… Or else! Five days later, when you come again, we will rush to produce a more sincere cooperation agreement overnight, do you think? ”
“I can’t wait for you for five days.”
Sima Jianyun shook his head.
“Two days, I’ll only give you two days. Today and tomorrow, I will come again the day after tomorrow, and if we still don’t get along, I’ll go to another car company. ”
After speaking, Sima Jianyun did not give Loew Daimler any chance to speak, so he led Qin Rui and Li Ning to turn and leave.
Out of the factory area.
Sima Jianyun snorted: “Bah, what a thing!” ”
“It is said that the phoenix that lost its hair is not as good as a chicken, this old boy is afraid that the soil emperor is addicted, right? I have always fantasized about how awesome and brilliant their Mercedes is. ”
“But he forgot that it’s a buyer’s market!”
“It’s not that it’s up to him how much money he can sell for Mercedes, whoever has money in his pocket now is the uncle who can make the rules!”
Sima Jianyun got into the car and said indignantly.
“Mr. Sima, where are we going now? Going back to the hotel? ”
“Nope! It’s still early, let’s take a trip to the Bavarian Engine Engineering AG! ”
Sima Jianyun said indifferently.
“Since Mercedes-Benz people are so eyeless, let’s go to BMW to take a look”
“Gotta go!”
BMW’s factory is not far away, and it is a hundred kilometers away by car.
It’s just less than an hour’s extra drive.
Anyway, the high speed here is not limited.
As long as you have the ability, no one cares how fast you drive.
Qin Rui originally liked to drive fast, plus the mechanical structure of this Rolls-Royce in their hands was quite stable, and the power of the engine was always abundant.
So it’s possible to get to a very fast speed.
Outside the Bavarian Engine Works AG.
After getting out of the car, this is a different scene.
Although many workshops have been closed, the workers in the workshops that are still lit are working feverishly, and no one has the slightest slack.
Everyone is in their own position, busy with their own business.
Overall, it feels like it’s full of spirits.
This made Sima Jianyun’s first sense quite good.
He nodded: “Look, these two cars belong to the same brother of luxury cars, but the performance in the factory is very different!” ”
“Let’s go, come with me to see what kind of personality the person in charge here is.”
