Saleen, founded in 1984, is a company specializing in the production of super sports cars, which not only develops, designs and manufactures, but also undertakes the assembly and painting of Ford GT (40) sports cars. At present, the world has produced more than 600000 super sports cars. Note that the 600000 vehicles represent the total turnover of the company since its establishment.
In the past 20 years, only 600000 super sports cars have been produced, with an average of less than 30000 per year. Compared with the annual sales of millions or even tens of millions of other car manufacturers, it can be said that the results are quite dismal. But it must be admitted that every sports car it produces is worthy of the name of super sports car.
The S7 Series is the best in Saleen, known as the fastest mass production vehicle in the world. The 2005 version of S7 is the best of the best, the fastest sports car allowed by law. Its highest speed, with a simple analogy, as long as the road permits, is definitely much faster than Shenma EMU and high-speed railway!
But such a well-known company in the super sports car industry has encountered a profit crisis in its operation. There's no way. Due to the over perfection of super sports cars and the attack from all walks of life on the car racers who buy super sports cars in private, it can be said that Saleen's life is not easy at present. Its president, Steven sellin, has had a tough time.
Of course, at present, Ford is negotiating a contract with Saleen company, one for four years, and Saleen company will help it produce GT sports cars. Although the profit is very considerable, Ford's ambition is not small. It hopes to annex "Saleen" company and become a subsidiary of it, a branch specializing in the production of super sports cars.
In this regard, Steven Selin is quite dissatisfied. But if this contract is not signed, the company will have a hard time. That's why he heard that Lin Feng wanted two 2005 S7, and decided to make two extra ones for Lin Feng.
"Hi, Steven, my old friend, I bring you good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?" Marx Mosley said.
"Marx, let's start with the bad news. There's no worse news for me now." Steven Selin sighed.
"The bad news is that Lin Feng has rejected the proposal to produce two more S7. He has to get two in three days, and he won't want them if he doesn't have them in three days. " Marx Mosley said.
Steven Selin sighed helplessly. He agreed to help Lin Feng build an extra limited edition super sports car in the world. He also wanted to please Lin Feng and see if he could cooperate to enter the Chinese market. Now, it seems, it's not going to work.
"My old friend, don't sigh. The good news is that Lin Feng wants to talk to you about injecting capital into Saleen. If you are willing to sell some shares, you may not only be able to get rid of the company's financial difficulties, but also allow your company to usher in a turnaround. " Marx Mosley persuasion. He is a soft mouthed eater of Lin Feng. In order to solve the troubles of his lower body, he has to help Lin Feng become a lobbyist.
Selling companies—— Steven Selin frowned. It is their family's wish to set up a company specializing in the production of super sports cars. Finally, in his generation, how could he possibly sell the company.
"No, no, no, not to sell the company, but to sell some of your shares!" Max Mosley waved.
......
"Well, I agree to meet Lin Feng." Finally, Steven Selin decided to talk with Lin Feng, if appropriate, to sell part of the shares, is not impossible.
Soon, the three held a temporary network video conference through the network.
"Hello, Mr. Salin. I think Marx should have told you what I came for. " Lin Feng comes to the point.
Steven Selin looks at Max Mosley and is surprised at how close he and Lin Feng are. You know, Max Mosley is the president of FIA, while Lin Feng is the boss of "dragon team". It is reasonable to keep a distance between the two. Of course, these things have nothing to do with Steven Selin. What he cares about is Lin Feng's sincerity.
"Mr. Salin, I won't say more. To be direct, I plan to spend $1.5 billion and help your company enter the Chinese market to buy 35% of your shares and make a promise Lin Feng said.
$1.5 billion, buy 35% shares and a promise—— Steven Selin was surprised. Not only he but also Max Mosley. At present, it is estimated that the market value of "Saleen" company is about 3 billion US dollars, and that of Lin Feng is 1.5 billion US dollars, which is very high.
"What promise?" Steven sellin was moved. 35% of the shares in exchange for $1.5 billion is worth it, and it also helps the company to enter the Chinese market. If it doesn't move, then nothing is worth it.
"It's very simple to form a new joint venture with DPCA." Lin fengxiao said.
"Joint venture!" Steven Selin frowned“ "Dragon company" is Lin Feng's joint venture. Isn't it a disguised annexation of "Saleen"!
"It's not annexation, it's alliance‘ DPCA will help you to open up the Chinese market, and you will help DPCA enhance its strength in manufacturing high-end cars. The two sides are a strong alliance. " Lin Feng said.
"How to make a joint venture?" Asked Steven Selin.
"I have calculated that at present, the market value of DPCA and Saleen are equal. Therefore, "Saleen" company offered 20% of the shares in exchange for 20% of the shares of "DPCA". The two sides jointly held each other's shares and jointly established a new subsidiary, DPCA S. its profits were divided into half of each side. What do you think? Of course, DPCA will try its best to help your company enter the Chinese market Lin fengxiao said.
This plan was carefully thought out by Lin Feng“ "Shenlong Auto" is a domestic brand. Therefore, the traditional joint venture is impossible, otherwise it will lose the significance of independent brand, and it will no longer be a national brand. Therefore, 20% of the shares can be accepted by the outside world. The established subsidiary produces high-end cars, which not only does not violate the concept of environmental protection and energy saving of "DPCA", but also can compete for the high-end car market. As for helping Saleen enter China, Lin Feng is not worried about whether it will compete with Dragon s in the market.
Because the two sides aim at different markets, "Saleen" has been committed to the production of global super sports cars, while "Dragon s" only focuses on the sports car system, with top two words at most. But there is a difference between the top and the super, essentially.
It's like Saleen making sports cars for other car manufacturers (Ford, Ferrari, etc.) on a contract basis, while also making their own. Although they all come from the same company and have the same process, the final products are completely different in terms of performance and appearance.
After a long hesitation, Steven Selin agreed to Lin Feng's proposal. For him, Lin Feng's proposal is very in line with the interests of both sides, and she has no reason not to cooperate. For now, at least, the partnership is much better than Ford's contract. Moreover, the Chinese market has always been the next US predicted by the automotive industry“ Saleen, as a member of the automotive industry, naturally wants a share.
What's more, I heard that the consumption power of luxury goods in China is increasing year by year. At present, it is second only to the United States and Japan. In the future, it may even become the largest luxury goods consumption market in the world. The super sports car is undoubtedly a real luxury. There is no reason why "Saleen" does not enter.
"Deal!" Then both parties sign the contract through electronic agreement.
"By the way, Mr. Salin, for some reason, I hope that the news of my investment in purchasing 35% shares of your company will not be published, and I will ask Mr. Ellison to purchase the 35% shares!" Lin fengxiao said.
Steven Salin was stunned. He didn't understand what Lin Feng meant. But this is not important, the important thing is to cooperate happily. The rest belongs to Lin Feng's private affairs, which has nothing to do with him.
"So Steven, now you can send me two 2005 S7 first!" Lin fengxiao said.
"Well, Lin, if you say that your ultimate goal is for two S7, I can only say that you are crazy. But I like your craziness very much. "Steven Selin laughed, and then the celebrity immediately loaded it and waited for Lin Feng's special plane to deliver the goods.
"Hoo, Lin, you're really good. Well, I'm going to eat Japanese food now. You can't say it's out of stock! " Hold it for a long time, Max Mosley gasped.
"Of course, go. I've already said hello. By the way, thank you, Max! " Lin fengxiao said.
"Nothing. It's good for the FIA. The more super sports cars China has, the better for F1 promotion. " Max Mosley finished and hung up.
Sure enough, ginger is old and spicy—— Lin Feng shook his head with a smile. It seems that Marx Mosley is so anxious to help himself introduce Steven Selin, not because of "Japanese cuisine", but for F1.
But it's good for myself, for Saleen. This time, I not only own 35% of the shares of "Saleen", but more importantly, through this joint venture, I will really own the absolute control of "DPCA". Lin Feng has devoted so much effort to "Shenlong Auto", but he never wants to be the second jobs. Later, he will be driven out by "Shenlong Auto". As for Ellison's appearance, it was naturally to hide people's eyes and ears, so as not to be envied by the country and die young. As for this joint venture, whether the state will agree or not is not a question for Lin Feng.
Because this gamble is coming to an end, the state will never hope that "Shenlong Automobile" will lose. And "Shenlong Auto" only exchanges 20% shares, which is completely acceptable to the state. 20% of the shares in exchange for technical assistance from the world's super sports car manufacturers is very worthwhile.
Now, all Lin Feng has to do is to be familiar with the streets of Milan as much as possible. Of course, we also need to talk about the cooperation plan with Lin Yibin, a plan for Schumacher that has been planned for a long time( To be continued, if you want to know the future, please log in www.qidian.com , more chapters, support authors, support legitimate reading!)
