Chapter 493

"Philip, how likely do you think I am to succeed in the Rolls Royce acquisition?" Li Feng suddenly turned back to the topic and asked Ann Schutz.

"John, needless to say, you have told BMW that you would rather abolish the Rolls Royce brand and develop Bentley independently. Coupled with your attitude of never giving up buying Rolls Royce, I think BMW should know how to choose.

If you buy Rolls Royce, you don't want to give up Rolls Royce. BMW either gives up Rolls Royce and reaches an agreement with you, or they can completely give up the brand of Rolls Royce.

You know, this brand is worth a lot of money. I don't think the back board members will give up. Therefore, as long as you can successfully acquire Rolls Royce, your strategy of owning Rolls Royce brand is the easiest to achieve. The key depends on whether Volkswagen will compete with you.

However, you have one of the biggest advantages, that is, you are a person who invests in the acquisition and don't need to consider too much. After all, Volkswagen is a company and needs to consider the issue of capital investment. For Victor group, it's nothing more than selling a high price.

Therefore, as long as you provide an impossible fund for the public and the agreement you have reached with Rolls Royce's management, your acquisition of Rolls Royce is basically a foregone conclusion.

I think you should take the initiative to contact people from all sides to see if you can reach some feasible agreements. You are not just yourself. Are you too weak in the auto industry? If you can cooperate with BMW or Volkswagen, it should be a good choice for your auto brand promotion. "

"OK, then I'll have a good chat with Victor group. I don't have so much time to spend here. I can achieve success as soon as possible. I think they will know how to choose." Li Feng thought for a moment and then smiled.

"OK, good luck!"

"Cheers!"

……

Unconsciously, more than a week has passed, and today is the day of the final battle.

After chatting with Anschutz for a while, Li Feng took the initiative to exchange views with the management of Victor group, saying that he didn't have so much time to spend here and gave an ultimatum. If he dragged on like this, he would consider withdrawing from the acquisition.

Similarly, Li Feng also visited the newly appointed prime minister and a kind of dignitaries in London. For example, in the face of real estate projects sent by others, such as the London eye, Li Feng temporarily reached an agreement that his real estate companies will invest in real estate projects in London.

For another example, with Prince Charles and nobles, Li Feng also proposed, for example, to buy a Premier League team in London, and even was willing to add the word "Royal" to the team prefix, which made Prince Charles very excited. Later, Li Feng even got a phone call from the queen and was praised by the queen on the phone.

In short, after receiving the support of the British royal government and Victor group also wanted to solve it early, they directly invited Li Feng and companies interested in Rolls Royce to complete the acquisition of Rolls Royce through bidding.

However, what Vickers group doesn't know is that Li Feng left the UK before and secretly went to France, where he reached y a cooperation plan with the two leaders of German car companies.

Once again, at the residence of the Duke of Westminster, the three invited companies gathered again. Looking at the crowd gathered at the last party, Li Feng felt that it was finally time to see Zhenzhang.

……

"Ladies and gentlemen, the purpose of coming today is very clear. I won't say more. The three representatives should be very clear about the current situation of rice rice automobile company. Then, ladies and gentlemen, let's start.

Rolls Royce motor company, which owns the complete Bentley brand and some Rolls Royce brands, has a reserve price of 500 million pounds, and each price increase shall not be less than 1 million. Please bid... "

Sir Vickers, Vickers's nominal chairman, greeted the crowd and then smiled at Li Feng and the two company chairmen, Ferdinand Piech of Volkswagen and Bernard biread of BMW.

Yes, the leaders of the three companies are finally together. However, for the bidding of Vickers group, in fact, Li Feng and the three people do not agree very much. It is really not very appropriate to directly bid face-to-face.

500 million pounds is the reserve price of BMW before. Therefore, Bernard of BMW smiled at Li Feng and Piech, and then waited for them to bid.

"Mr. Piech, instead of such a slow price increase, why don't we hurry up and solve it at one time?" At this time, Li Feng stood up and suggested to Piech with a smile.

"Would you like to hear it in detail?"

"I have a bottom line myself. I will follow before I don't exceed 700 million pounds. If I exceed 700 million pounds, even if the public can pay 700 million pounds, I will quit." Li Feng replied with a smile.

……

Sure enough, after listening to Li Feng's words, the three investors were calm, but a group of people from Vickers group were full of smiles. Obviously, Li Feng's contribution has been recognized by them.

But Vickers may be happy too early. As for the result, it's not as good as they think.

"Young man, I'm really bold. Since you've got the bottom line, I'll leave." Ferdinand stood up in the expectation of the crowd, then replied with a smile, then said hello to the crowd and left.

"Oh, thank you, Mr. Piech. What do you think, Mr. Bernard?"

"Oh, Mr. Li's bid obviously exceeded our expectations. Congratulations on Mr. Li's successful acquisition of Rolls Royce." Ferdinand Piech immediately stood up, followed the crowd and left.

"Mr. Li, Congratulations, Rolls Royce motor company has successfully bid for ￡ 700 million." Sir Vickers took people to Li Feng, then smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Oh, sir, you may be mistaken. I didn't say 700 million pounds." Li Feng replied with a smile.

"Uh..."

After listening to Li Feng's words, sir Vickers, who was full of smiles, suddenly froze.

……

Seeing that the top management of Vickers group changed their faces in an instant, Wang Siqing, Philip Anschutz and Mike John almost laughed beside Li Feng.

For Li Feng's plan and the next Rolls Royce's arrangement, the three are very clear. They think it's not easy to get cheap under their boss.

"What do you mean, Mr. Li? It won't be a repentance, will it?" At this time, including government representatives and royal representatives, they were a little hesitant.

"Oh, no, I want to buy, but it can't be my bottom line to buy, can it?"

"Then you just..."

"Did I just say it was a bottom line acquisition? I just expressed my attitude to Volkswagen and BMW. Unfortunately, Volkswagen and BMW withdrew directly, didn't they?

Or, sir, if you call Mr. Piech of Volkswagen and Mr. Bernard of BMW now, maybe they will be interested in coming back. " Li Feng replied with a smile.

"You..."

After listening to Li Feng's words, the management of Vickers group was speechless for a while.

"Sir, you don't have to care too much. I want to buy Rolls Royce, and I promise to keep Rolls Royce in the UK and even strive to carry it forward in the future, but this doesn't mean that I want to buy it at a super high price.

Of course, I won't let you lose. I think you should know that the 500 million pounds quoted by BMW is actually a reasonable price. However, considering the situation, I am willing to buy at a premium of 10% in accordance with international practice. In this way, we can win-win. What do you think? "

Listening to Li Feng's talk, the Vickers group almost spewed out a mouthful of old blood. Now call the representatives of BMW and Volkswagen, which will make the two companies think about themselves. Besides, there is another Li Feng inserted here.

As for being angry and saying not to sell, it's impossible. Rolls Royce loses at least ten million pounds every year. These Brits can't afford to lose. At this time, they can only recognize it by pinching their nose.

……

"Mr. Li, 550 million pounds is too little. Rolls Royce is, after all, one of the pearls of our British industry, 650 million." Sir Vickers looked at the Duke of Westminster and replied in a deep voice.

"650 million, too high, 560 million."

"No, 645 million"

“5.55”

“6.40”
