Bill Ford didn’t expect, Li Mu even really left.
The brothers routine is too peculiar in my heart, and this brothers just made a big move.
Although everyone ’s talk was not so pleasant, it was also Business negotiations. Bill Ford Jr. was already ready to fight with Li Mu for a few days. As a result, Li Mu came up and bombarded, hitting hundreds of bases in one breath. Shells and then turn around and go?
How can this be!
Bill Ford Jr. felt like he had made an appointment to fight someone, but when the other person came over and slapped himself, he turned his head and left.
Damn it!
Li Mu didn’t follow the rules of the game at all and suddenly caused Bill Ford to mess up.
Not to mention the chaos that has been disturbed by Li Mu, even if it is not chaotic, it can’t bear the Li Mu‘s sudden move.
Just when Bill Ford Jr. was overwhelmed, Li Mu had stood up, made a wink at Chen Ze and Li Ziwei, then pointed to Elon · Musk and said to Jr. Bill Ford: “Mr. Ford, follow-up Things, please talk directly to Musk, he and his team know more about cars than me. “
“But …” Bill Ford said reluctantly: “Is it not a few days before Chief Li and Google go public? Why ca n’t we sit down and talk about specific acquisition issues?”
Li Mu said apologetically: “For the automotive industry, I have known, I know, and I have already told you everything. What more fun can we sit down with? Are you talking to me about internet? “
Bill Ford Jr. was stunned. You can say this, just pretend to run, can you be more euphemistic? The core members of the Ford family are here, my shameless Ah?
At this time, Bill Ford Jr. could n’t keep it any longer, so he stood up and said, “Chief Li. In that case, I will send you.”
Li Mu waved his hand and smiled: “You don’t have to be polite, Mr. Ford, we can go by ourselves, without delaying you talking about business.”
After finishing speaking, Li Mu waved directly at the people in the meeting room and stepped out of the meeting room.
Li Ziwei has been around Li Mu for a long time, knowing the Li Mu’s working style, so I was not surprised and hesitant. I walked directly behind Li Mu. Only Chen Ze has not recovered.
What the hell? The key point is that his English is not as good as Li Mu. He just understood 70% of the content of the two people’s conversation. The rest is based on guessing, so there is still no understanding.
After seeing Li Ziwei all gone, he chased out hastily, and asked Li Mu in a confused way: “Old Li, why do you leave now?”
Li Mu laughed: “Can’t give him the opportunity to leave acting cool, just glance at him like stepping on an ant, and let the Elon · Musk talk to him.”
Chen Ze sighed: “You are killing the price too much, killing 5 billion USD in one breath, this money may not be enough for Ford to spend more money on Volvo …”
Li Mu said indifferently: “You ca n’t grind a bargain with the seller a little bit. The more you grind, the more you want to be, and the more passive you are naturally. The best way is to first understand the details of the other party, and then With a scalp and a knife, if you can accept it, you can sit down and talk about the details. If you ca n’t accept it, it ’s fine. ”
Chen Ze could n’t help but ask: “Are you afraid that he will directly reject you?”
Li Mu said: “You thought I was fooling him for half a day? He must have 10,000 wanted to sell now, these three things were originally hot potato, so I was fooled by him, it became hot in his eyes Fireball. “
Chen Ze smiled and said: “In case this person is very sturdy, just don’t sell it? Then wouldn’t you just be miscalculated?”
Li Mu smiled confidently and said, “It ’s all about this. It ’s impossible not to sell. This person although is a bit greedy, but not stupid.”
Speaking, Li Mu said again: “Let’s go, let’s go to Boston.”
“Go to Boston?” Chen Ze puzzled and asked: “Aren’t you going to New York?”
Li Mu smiled and said: “Bill Ford Jr. is right, Google is ringing the bell for several days. Now I have nothing to do in New York. My girlfriend is still at Harvard. I also voted for a Harvard. Boy, made an university raw social network station, this time just passed by. “
This is how Chen Ze realized, Su Yingxue was studying at Harvard university.
When the Li Mu and his party rushed to the airport, the crew had applied for a take-off clearance to fly to Boston.
On the way, Chen Ze still had some regrets, saying: “It is a pity that I did not come to the Detroit Dearborn for a visit to Ford’s factory!”
Li Mu smiled and said: “There will be opportunities in the future. When these three brands are won, you will have four factories to take turns visiting.”
Chen Ze asked wondering: “How come four? Isn’t it three?”
Li Mu said: “Jaguar Land Rover is in the United Kingdom, Volvo is in Sweden, but Land Rover has a factory in the United States. Musk said this problem before, you forgot?”
Chen Ze chuckled: “My English is not so good, I think I can know almost the same when I write it, if I listen, it will be 6-7.”
Li Mu nodded and said, “Anyway, the four factories are right. I won’t stop you if you want to live in it.”
Chen Ze asks: “In case, I mean in case, in case this fails, what should I do? Do you have an alternative?”
Li Mu shook his head: “Where are the alternatives.”
In fact, Li Mu said seriously: “But to be honest, the market of the automobile industry is definitely choking if you want to buy Japanese car brands, but if you want to buy European non-German brands and American brands, it is still very easy. Yes, it ’s really not possible. We can also buy Cadillac, Jeep or Alfa Romeo. These brands are now suffering a lot of losses and will be more serious in the future. ”
For the automotive industry, if the industry as a whole goes down and its own brand is not doing well enough, that day can really be described as hard.
A car brand, as long as it does not want to close down, it must keep the factory running. The suppliers ’spare parts must be purchased, their own production lines must be moved, and workers must be busy. It’s as difficult as going to the sky.
However, to maintain the operation of the production line, it is necessary to invest capital. Raw materials, spare parts, workers ’salaries, and administrative expenses are all huge costs. These money are smashed into the production of one car after another. But no one cares about it. In this way, there are more and more stock cars and greater losses. If you haven’t picked up the house, it will become a bottomless hole.
Some auto companies look very glamorous, with fixed assets set at billions of USD, but another set of bank loans and supplier payments owing to annual losses may have actual net assets not even 100 million USD .
Otherwise, those classic automobile companies that have lasted for hundreds of years will not be finally merged and acquired by the big automobile group, and then re-integrated and rejuvenated by the big automobile group’s reputation, technology, resources and channels.
These brands that can be acquired by the big car group are still a good life. Those brands that even the big car group ca n’t look down on are really a miserable one. For example, Guan Zhi, a year ’s loss of a billion levels, one The pile of people has been working hard for many years, and the total debt is still greater than the total assets. It has been losing money for several years in a row. The loss of money is replaced by hundred yuan banknotes. I do n’t know how many times we can circle the earth …
At this time, Chen Ze looked at the time and said, “It’s been more than half an hour since I came out. Do you want to ask Musk, where are they now?”
Li Mu smiled slightly and said: “Don’t ask, it must still be rash, but Bill Ford Jr. must not dare to refuse Musk directly, otherwise Musk will definitely contact me.”
If according to Bill Ford Jr., 5 billion is definitely not for sale, then after Li Mu leaves, Musk will have to leave at most ten minutes, because he has no right to change the final offer of Li Mu’s Can’t accept it, then everyone has to talk about it and get rid of it.
But since half an hour has passed and Elon · Musk hasn’t heard of it yet, it proves that he must still be talking to Bill Ford.
Actually, there is nothing to talk about in terms of price. Li Mu does not give Bill Bill Ford any bargaining space. It is nothing more than details, and the details are based on Bill Ford ’s acceptance of 5 billion USD quotations. On the basis of.
Li Mu and his party arrived at the airport because the approved departure time was more than an hour. After passing the security check, everyone boarded the aircraft in advance and took a rest on the plane while waiting for takeoff.
While waiting, Li Mu made a call to Su Yingxue. During this time, they did n’t meet, and the number of calls between the two was not too much. Not only was Li Mu too busy everyday, jet lag was also a more difficult problem.
Su Yingxue has just finished the course at this time. On the way back to the dormitory, she received a Li Mu phone call. She has always been indifferent and she ca n’t help but ask some surprises: “How do you have time to call me today?” >
Li Mu smiled and said: “Just finished talking to a company and then hurried to the airport. Now we are waiting for take-off. The take-off time is relatively long. It takes more than an hour.”
Su Yingxue snorted and said, “I was bored before I thought of calling me?”
Li Mu said with a laugh: “Why do n’t you care which airport I am at and where I am going next?”
Su Yingxue couldn’t help but ask: “Where are you going? Is it to come to the United States?”
Li Mu said with a laugh: “I am already in the US and now in Detroit.”
Su Yingxue asked in surprise: “When did you come? What did you do in Detroit?”
Li Mu said: “Speaking of cooperation is coming, I arrived this morning, and now I am going to take off to Boston.”
Looking at it, Li Mu looked at the time and said, “It’s more than five o’clock in the afternoon. I expect to be able to fly at seven o’clock and landing at eight forty. Do you want me to have dinner together?”
The voice of Su Yingxue was agitated and asked in surprise: “Are n’t you teasing me? Are you really in Detroit, coming to Boston?”
“Of course.” Li Mu said: “When I arrived, you would eat something to make up for yourself. Don’t wait for me hungry.”
Su Yingxue determined that Li Mu was not joking, and immediately said happily, “Okay, then I will wait for you!”
