Seeing Norbert Reithof frowning, Li Zetian couldn't help but continue: "Mr. Norbert Reithofer, although BMW is also a world-class car manufacturer, with all due respect, compared with Japan's Toyota Motor Corporation, BMW is more The combined market capitalization of the three BMWs is less than that of Toyota!"
When Li Zetian said this, he paused for a while, glanced at Mr. Rethyf, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said lightly, "Don't tell me Mr. Rethyf never thought of making BMW surpass Toyota and become the world's largest car company. Car manufacturers? Others may not be able to do this, but I, Chronos Li, are absolutely capable of doing it! I will give BMW's major shareholders far more benefits than they are now!"
"Mr. Reithofer, I know it's hard for you to make a decision right now. You can go back and discuss it with the board of directors, but also please bring my sincerity - Rolls-Royce Motor Company plus $25 billion in cash..."
After Li Zetian finished speaking, Norbert Reithof finally responded: "Okay, Mr. Li, I understand, goodbye, I will tell you the decision of the BMW board of directors as soon as possible!"
"Okay, bye!"
The two ended their conversation.
Germany, BMW headquarters, Norbert Reithof sits in a chair, resting his chin in thought.
"Accepting Mr. Li's takeover is not a bad idea..." Norbert Reithof murmured, "If it is true, BMW can surpass Japan's Toyota Motor Corporation, even if the shareholders' shares are reduced, but the value is Even higher! If Chronos·Li becomes a major shareholder of BMW, then BMW will have a lot of ownership in brand promotion, offline channels, Internet channels, funds, talents, technology, spare parts supply and market demand in the future. Great advantage…”
After a while, Norbert Reithof suddenly raised his head, picked up the landline phone, and called his secretary, he said: "Elena, send a notice immediately, the board meeting will be held at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning!!!"
"Okay, Mr. Reshef."
The next morning, the board members of BMW came to the company one after another.
"What the hell is Norbert Reysef doing, all of a sudden there's a board meeting, I was on vacation in the Mediterranean, sun, sand, and bikinis, oh god, that's real life!!! Only to be told to The board meeting was held, and I flew back overnight! If I see Norbert Reithof later, I must ask him to compensate me for the loss. I heard that Norbert Reithof has a lot of collections. Good wine!" A middle-aged man wearing sunglasses and a casual suit walked into the conference room, found a seat and sat down, and scolded with a big smile.
"Hehe, Charles, you really enjoy it! By the way, Charles, I heard that you are after the French goddess Sophie Marceau?"
Charles took off his sunglasses, shook his head and sighed: "Oh, don't say it, it's too bad, I was rejected by her. By the way, do you know why Norbert Reithof held a board meeting?"
"Know a little," a director nodded with a smile, "I heard that Chronos Li wanted to buy BMW."
Just as everyone was discussing, the door of the conference room opened again, and Norbert Reithof walked in, waving to everyone and walking straight to the chairman's seat.
"Today's board meeting is very important about the future of BMW! Without further ado, Chronos Li wants to buy BMW. He will buy Rolls-Royce Motors and $25 billion in BMW, and BMW will sell 60 % of the shares to him!"
After Norbert Reiseff finished speaking, the conference room was buzzing and there was a lot of discussion.
As far as Li Zetian's conditions are concerned, they are indeed very sincere. Rolls-Royce Motor Company has three main brands, one is Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, the other is Bentley, and the other is a low-end brand car, Veyron, which Li Zetian asked Rolls-Royce Motor Company to build in China. Rolls-Royce Motor Company is not listed, and its market value cannot be reflected in specific figures. However, even if the market value does not reach 10 billion US dollars, there are still several billion US dollars. (Li Zetian spent only $6.7 billion when he bought the Rolls-Royce Motor Company)
Add in $25 billion in cash, and that would be enough to take a 60% stake in BMW.
The conference room was a bit noisy, and Norbert Reithof's voice could not help raising a few decibels, and then said: "I thought about it carefully before, it seems that accepting Chronos Li's investment is more beneficial to BMW and all shareholders than the disadvantage. , please take a look at some of the data and analysis I have compiled."
With that said, the secretary turned on the projector.
The ppt details the benefits that Chronos Li will bring to BMW after Chronos·Li acquires BMW.
The meeting room was silent, and everyone was listening, only Norbert Reithofer's voice kept reverberating.
Ten minutes later, when Norbert Reithof finished speaking, he glanced around and asked, "What are your opinions? Feel free to mention them."
Charles was the first to say: "I am a businessman, and whoever brings me the greatest benefit, I will support whoever! Norbert Reiseff, I think your analysis is very correct and logical. Accept Chronos Li It is not surprising that the value of our shares has shrunk, on the contrary, its value should have risen! Therefore, I agree with Chronos·Li's acquisition of BMW!"
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
"… "
Everyone agreed, and Norbert Reysef nodded secretly and said solemnly: "Okay, since that's the case, then I will contact Chronos Li immediately to facilitate this matter as soon as possible!"
"it is good!"
After the meeting, Norbert Reithofer called Li Zetian immediately.
"Mr. Li, hello, I'm Norbert Reithofer."
"Oh, hello, Norbert Reithofer, has the BMW board made a decision?"
"Yes, Mr. Li, we have decided to accept your terms!"
"Great! I believe this is definitely a very wise decision!" Li Zetian laughed, "I looked at my itinerary, and I will be busy for a while. I see, I will fly to Germany this afternoon, Sign an agreement with BMW as soon as possible, what do you think?"
"Of course we have no problem!"
"Ok, see you in Germany!"
"See you in Germany!"
Li Zetian hung up the phone, with a smile on his face, he waved to Vanessa who was not far away, and ordered, "Arrange an afternoon flight, I want to fly to Germany and sign a contract with BMW! In addition, inform Lao The CEO of Slas Motors, let him also come to BMW."
"Okay, Mr. Li."
After lunch, Li Zetian went to the airport without stopping...
After more than ten hours, Li Zetian finally arrived in Germany.
Outside the airport, rows of BMW motorcades had already come to greet them.
"Damn, what's the situation???" Passersby were stunned.
"Hundreds of BMW luxury cars are lined up in a row, do you want to accept some big man?"
Many people didn't leave, waiting to watch the excitement, taking pictures and swiping Facebook and Weibo.
"Shocked! Hundreds of BMW luxury cars were found in the German airport!!!"
Through the spread of Facebook and Weibo, the news immediately spread all over the Internet, shocking everyone!
Some people directly took out their iPhones, opened Google Maps, and watched the actual scene of German airports through satellites.
Suddenly, there was an uproar outside the airport, followed by shouts.
"Fuck, the German Chancellor is here too!"
"He's now smiling and chatting with BMW chairman Norbert Reithofer..."
"Is the German chancellor also coming to pick up people at the airport? Could it be that US President George W. Bush is coming? No, I didn't hear that the US president was going to visit Germany..."
Just then, a Space-X2000 super-large long-range airliner landed at the airport.
Everyone's expressions were astonished, but they had already guessed who the German Chancellor and the Chairman of BMW were going to greet!
"It turns out that Chronos Li is here!!!" A large group of people rushed to the exit of the airport, as excited as fans seeing the stars.
Under the protection of bodyguards, Li Zetian walked out of the airport with difficulty, then smiled and greeted the German Chancellor and the chairman of BMW graciously.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I didn't expect you to come to the airport too." Li Zetian shook hands with him and smiled.
The German Chancellor smiled and said: "The famous world's richest man came to invest in Germany, of course I have to personally come to meet, I heard Norbert Reithofer say, you want to buy BMW, and lead BMW to beat Toyota. Haha, The German government is very supportive of this matter, but BMW is a German company, and it is related to the employment of many people…”
Li Zetian smiled and said: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I understand what you mean! You can rest assured that BMW will not move to other countries. BMW is always the BMW of Germany! You know, I actually own a lot of products in Germany, such as Carl Zeiss. , BASF, SAP, TRUMPF…”
"Yes," the German Chancellor nodded with a smile and praised: "Chronos Li, you are the most popular investor in Germany!"
"Oh, thank you."
Soon, the three of them got into the car and walked away, followed by the endless BMW team, leaving everyone with infinite suspense.
A Volkswagen executive frowned and said, "BMW and Chronos Li are together, do they have any cooperation?"
"Mr. Li, the hotel has been booked for you. Would you like to stay at the hotel for a rest?" Norbert Reithof asked.
Li Zetian waved his hand and said with a smile, "No need, I had a good rest on the plane."
The German Chancellor smiled and said, "Hehe, I heard that Chronos Li, your special plane Space-X2000 is the most luxurious and comfortable plane in the world!"
"Including the decoration, it cost a billion dollars in total, so it's quite comfortable to live in..." Li Zetian smiled lightly, but there was a strong sense of pretense between his words.
The Chancellor of Germany and the chairman of BMW were both startled when they heard the words, and said to themselves, how inhumane! ! !
The German Chancellor even felt that he, the Prime Minister, did not have the status of a businessman. Looking at his own plane and Chronos Li's plane, he was full of tears...
Li Zetian glanced at the German Chancellor and smiled to himself, hehe, let alone your German Chancellor, even the President of the United States, his special plane is not as good as mine!
If you have money, you can spend whatever you want!
The car was soon driven to the headquarters of BMW, and then under the witness of the German Chancellor, Li Zetian signed an investment and acquisition agreement with BMW.
From now on, Li Zetian is the big boss of BMW, serving as the chairman of the company, and Norbert Reithofer as executive director and CEO.
In the evening, BMW threw a party and opened champagne to celebrate the collaboration.
At this time, the ordinary employees of BMW company knew that BMW company was acquired by Li Zetian, and the boss has changed since then. However, they did not reject it, but were even more happy. It was an honor to have such a great boss. Of course, the most important thing is that BMW will definitely grow and the employees will benefit from it.
That night, news of Li Zetian's acquisition of BMW spread like wildfire, causing a huge sensation in Germany.
The next morning, BMW also announced to the public that Li Zetian took over BMW and became the new owner of BMW!
Well, for a while, the entire auto industry was in a state of turmoil.
The super-big capitalists who are stirring up the wind and rain are about to enter the auto industry in a big way. I ask you if you are afraid
