MTL - Rebirth in a Perfect Era-Chapter 1726 Only I have this spare money

Makino Technology is too strong in the Internet field, sometimes it makes others despise its strength in other fields.

Most people always have the same thinking. If someone does a good job in this area, then he must be inferior to other areas.

Bill Ford Jr. thinks that Li Mu can make Makino technology, but it is impossible to make cars.

However, he is too lazy to care whether Li Mu has this ability, he only cares about what price Li Mu is willing to use to buy his three brands.

Before, he felt that for people like Li Mu who are not bad money, he should find a way to trade these three brands for stocks of Makino Technology, but now, it seems that Li Mu's car is just a mentality to play tickets, just to spend some money to listen to Xiang mentality, in this case, it is not so easy to want his shares.

But it never hurts to try.

He smiled and said: "In fact, we have discussed many times about your acquisition intention, but we are more inclined to be acquired by Makino Technology. I do n’t know what you think?"

"M & A?" Li Mu smiled slightly: "Mr. Ford, Makino Technology will not give up any of its shares to any group, enterprise or individual before the ipo. After the ipo is listed, anyone wants to acquire the shares of Makino Technology. The direct way is to buy in the market, so I can directly reply to you about mergers and acquisitions, impossible. "

For Li Mu, what is good asset and what is inferior asset can basically be understood at a glance.

Ford's assets are no different from cars. They depreciate quickly and have little room for appreciation. If they want to make these three brands profitable, if they do not have the advantages of rebirth, they must wait at least five years;

But Makino's assets, like the land in the city center when prices are about to take off, have huge room for growth.

This is like in 2008, a one-million Mercedes Benz was exchanged for a three-bedroom Yanjing. Even if it was an equivalent exchange, the latter lost money, so Li Mu would never do such a loss-making business.

Little Bill Ford didn't expect that Li Mu refused such a simple refusal, even without even considering it, as if he had made a big joke.

This made his self-esteem somewhat frustrated. He had been hoping for a glimmer of hope, and as a result he said it out of his eyes, Li Mu directly refused.

Bill Ford, Jr. couldn't help but hesitated and said, "Since President Li does not consider mergers and acquisitions, it is not impossible for us to talk about cash acquisitions. The quotation on our side has actually been given to Mr. Musk, three brands. The full package price is $ 7 billion. "

Li Mu smiled and said, "7 billion is impossible Mr. Ford. You know in your heart that these brands are not high-quality assets for Ford. On the contrary, they are all blood-sucking leeches. I will give you fifty today. Billion dollar offer, do n’t think I ’m taking advantage of you. Five years later, your three brands may not be able to sell 5 billion dollars. In the past five years, the inflation level of 5 billion dollars, I believe You entrepreneurs in the industry should know more than I do. "

Bill Ford Jr naturally knows what Li Mu said. Once the physical industry goes downhill, it is indeed a hot potato. Many times, even a person willing to take over cannot find it and can only hit it in his own hands.

However, since negotiations with Li Mu came today, naturally, he also had to take out his attitude. In case he was right, Li Mu really wanted these three brands, maybe he could change from him to a certain one. Shares, really not work, can also get a good shot price.

So he coughed and said, "The total value of the three brands, Mr. Li and Ford, is more than 10 billion. If we sell it to the public, the transaction price of these three brands will be 7 billion US dollars. Above, many companies in the industry are interested in these three brands. "

Li Mu smiled slightly: "I don't believe what you said. From this year to 2008, I believe that the financial situation is definitely not optimistic, especially in the automotive manufacturing industry. As far as I know, all auto brands are doing asset optimization. They are desperately trying to reduce their burdens to cope with the coming cold winter. They still have a lot of inferior assets in their hands to sell. How could they even come to buy Ford's trash? "

Then, Li Mu said apologetically, "Sorry, I'm so straightforward."

Li Mu's character has always been very rigid. This character is developed because the Internet industry never needs to look at the face of any upstream and downstream company, especially the platform. Users are in their hands and traffic is in their hands. No one should be afraid. Ford Originally, Musk had already talked about the price of the early 6 billion, and Bill Ford Jr. asked him for 7 billion directly. This move was a bit of a challenge.

Bill Ford Jr.'s face was a bit ugly.

Anyway, it is also three world-renowned car brands, which Li Mu described as rubbish.

But Li Mu did not care at all, and saw his face clouded, saying: "For Ford, this year's money is completely different from next year's money, not only the impact of inflation, but also inferior assets. In the current economic situation, the stop loss brought by the sale is willing to buy these three brands from you, and is willing to give you five billion dollars. Except me in the world, you must not find the first Two, and I do n’t have to buy the three brands of Ford. Why ca n’t I go to GM to buy their brands? Cadillac, they are also miserable. Like you, you ca n’t do Japanese brands in the United States. In Europe, there is no place to stand. It's almost as miserable as you are. "

Bill Ford Jr. found that he couldn't hold back Li Mu ’s gas field. Li Mu directly said that his brand was garbage, but he did n’t know how to refute it.

Whether Jaguar, Land Rover or Volvo, sales have been poor in the past two years. Ford itself is not a company that is good at asset reorganization, nor is it a company proficient in quality control and cost control. The more it is not good at asset reorganization, the more As early as a few years, I had to continuously acquire other auto brands. I always felt that I wanted to play snakes as a company, and after eating one by one, I kept eating, and the snake became a dragon.

However, after eating it, I did not have the ability to digest it well. As a result, the more I eat, the more burdensome it becomes, and even my own body is greatly affected.

Li Mu then said at this time: "Aside from the cooperation we want to talk about this time, I will analyze for you, who in the world will buy these three brands from your hands."

"First of all, Japanese companies will definitely not be interested in these three brands. The development ideas and concepts of these three brands run counter to the concepts of Japanese companies. In the eyes of Japanese, there are only Japanese cars and German cars in the world. In their eyes, the American car is not an opponent at all. "

"Second, European car companies cannot buy back these three brands. Although Volkswagen likes to buy everywhere, it is impossible for your three brands to get into the eyes of Volkswagen, because all three brands are sold to you from Europe. In the hands, if Volkswagen is really optimistic about these three brands, it will be impossible for Ford to acquire them. "

"Finally, Huaxia car companies will not even buy your three brands, because old car companies have already made profits by producing joint-venture cars. There is no private company that owns more than two billion US dollars. They want to swallow elephants. It doesn't have that strength. "

In fact, Huaxia's auto industry is really very inconspicuous at the moment. The powerful private enterprises in the later generations have not really risen yet. Even if you call the Geely boss and ask him if he is interested in buying Volvo, he will feel it is a Tian Fang Ye Tan.

Speaking of this, Li Mu seriously said: "Mr. Ford, think about the situation you are facing now. If you miss me, you will miss the only opportunity to sell these three brands in the next three or four years. Do you know why? "

Bill Ford Jr. asked, "I don't understand. I also ask President Li to explain."

Li Mu said, "Because only I have this spare money ~ www.novelbuddy.com ~ and I don't care about it. I liked cars when I was a child. At that time, I wanted to play a car and buy a toy electric car. For my family It ’s all a luxury, but I ’m different now, I ’m rich now, and I want to play a car, so I can take out five billion dollars just to fulfill my childhood dreams, even those fifty The three brands bought by Yiyi will continue to lose money after I get it. I recognize this because I can afford five billion dollars to satisfy myself. Who do you think will have the courage besides me? Can it cost so much to play? Bill Gates? Or Buffett? "

Bill Ford Jr. said, "Mr. Li, why don't you lower the purchase price so much since you are not bad at it? The offer you are giving me is no longer a sincerely negotiated price."

Li Mu laughed: "I'm not bad at money, and I'm willing to spend money to do what I like, but it doesn't mean I'm willing to spend money to make you satisfied. In my opinion, 5 billion is a very reasonable price. Ford can get rid of it immediately The three brands have been suffering from constant losses, realizing inferior assets, and then investing money in their own high-quality industries, so if you really want to cooperate, don't hold each other's mindset and try to find you. It's okay, and I'm okay with it. "

"If these three brands fall into your hands after a few years, you will definitely lose your chest for this huge loss, and what about me? I may be fortunate that I didn't have the brain to waste this money;"

"If these three brands hit me in the aftermath of some difficulties, you will definitely be glad that you shot in time today, and I, I will not regret spending this money, and I will not even frown Because I have achieved self-satisfaction, this is enough for me. I have 100 billion yuan of assets, and I have 5 billion to satisfy myself, even if it is all lost. "
