Getting married? Hearing this word, Jessica was so happy that she looked at Lin Feng shyly.
Lin Feng was also stunned, but then he shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Marriage, bill, do you think it's the right time for me to get married?" Asked Lin Feng.
Clinton thought about it, but shook his head. It's true that marriage is the best way to solve this problem, but obviously Lin Feng can't get married now. This guy has too many confidants. If he wants to marry an American girl, I'm afraid the Chinese government will have some opinions. At least in the eyes of the Chinese government, it can accept an American daughter-in-law, but I'm afraid it can't accept Lin Feng as an American son-in-law.
"Take the first option. Find a U.S. bank, take the future "Chrysler" shares as collateral, make loans, empty handed set white wolf! " Lin Feng decided to say. As for the second option, Lin Feng will not agree with the proposal of adding another partner. This kind of plan is undoubtedly the most stupid.
"Well, take the first option. As for the financing bank, Abby will select a financing bank that is not hostile to you! " Clinton said with a smile.
Lin Feng nodded. That would be great. Lin Feng is terrible. Those guys in G23 are playing tricks behind their backs. Although it's just a car company, it's not enough to subvert the business empire Lin Feng has built. But it's a troublesome thing after all, isn't it!
Clinton's action is very fast, or the set of investment institutions built by Abby Cohen is running very fast. The next day, we found an American bank willing to fund Jessica's investment in the acquisition of Chrysler. And this American bank is Goldman Sachs.
It's easy to choose Goldman Sachs. There are two reasons. Abby Cohen once worked here. He is familiar with the capital operation and the loan is convenient. The second reason is that Goldman Sachs was founded by German immigrant Marcus Goldman in 1869. Of course, over the years, after more than a hundred years of development, it has been very mysterious who is the boss behind it, or whose equity really belongs to. However, compared with other American banks, Goldman Sachs is still the most sincere one that Abby Cohen can choose. After all, most of the other US banks are under the control of G23. Of course, Goldman Sachs may also be under its control.
But Abby Cohen, after all, has worked here, a little bit of his own grapevine source. In the future, if Goldman wants to do something, she can also know in advance. This is much better than other US banks. What's more, few banks will lend Jessica $3.5-4 billion to buy Chrysler.
That afternoon, under the guidance of Clinton, Lin Feng and Jessica met with Jurgen Schlumberger, President of DaimlerChrysler group, the parent company of Chrysler Group, and Robert Eaton, vice president.
Daimler - Chrysler Group, originally two companies. In 1998, Daimler Benz and Chrysler merged, with a total amount of $38 billion. It's the biggest auto merger in history. Originally, the two companies were interested in each other's market. Daimler Benz is the largest automobile manufacturing company in Germany, occupying a huge market in Europe, but in North America, its share can only sell 120000 vehicles. Chrysler, on the other hand, can sell 3 million vehicles a year in North America, but only 1% of the market share in Europe. The merger of the two companies is for each other's market share, hoping to achieve a win-win situation. But it turned out to be a double loss.
Daimler group's Mercedes Benz series, which was originally profitable, was forced to use its profits to fill Chrysler's hundreds of millions of dollars hole, which made Daimler extremely depressed. Under the heavy pressure of social security for employees and the hopelessness of turning loss into profit for Chrysler, it is hoped to sell it.
"Hi, Mr. Lin, I'm glad we can sit down and negotiate!" Jurgen Schlumberger said with a smile. As for Lin Feng, the European Union is quite fond of him.
"Mr. Schlumberger, I hope we can cooperate happily!" Lin Feng said with a smile, "but the main character of this acquisition is her, the beautiful miss Jessica Alba." Lin Feng pushes Jessica Alba out.
Schlumberger Leng Leng, for this negotiation, although he saw the name of Jessica, but instinctively still focus on Lin Feng. After all, Jessica is just an actor, involved in such a major acquisition, which makes the staid German Schlumberger a little incredible. But he gave Jessica respect.
"Beautiful miss alba, I hope we can cooperate happily this time!" Schlumberger greets with a smile.
The negotiation went well. Daimler Group intends to divest the bad assets of Chrysler to relieve the economic pressure of its main business Mercedes Benz, while Lin Feng intends to acquire and absorb the technology, experience and equipment of Chrysler. In terms of price, the two sides did not haggle over each other. Soon, an agreement was reached. Daimler group will sell the full equity of its clysler subsidiary to Lin Feng at a price of US $8.7 billion. Oh, of course, it should be Jessica, Lin Feng and DPCA. Of course, nearly $10 billion of Chrysler's debt also belongs to Jessica, Lin Feng and DPCA. As for the equity distribution of Jessica, Lin Feng and DPCA, that's their business. Of course, it can also be said that it is Lin Feng's business. After all, whether Jessica or "Shenlong Automobile" is good, this matter has the final say of Lin Feng.
"Happy cooperation, Mr. Lin. I will order someone to report the acquisition to the EU Ministry of Commerce for a ruling. I believe Mr. Yilin's reputation and status in Europe, and I believe that the EU will soon approve the acquisition. " Schlumberger said with a smile.
The EU agrees! Lin Feng nodded. This kind of large-scale acquisition, especially involving the automobile manufacturing industry, naturally needs the consent of the European Union. However, Lin Feng is not worried about the EU's efforts. Because Daimler group is selling Chrysler, not Mercedes Benz, and it is a loss making Chrysler. The EU will only agree, not refuse. On the contrary, if you sell Chrysler, that's the reverse.
Now we just need to get approval from the U.S. Department of Commerce. After all, the Chrysler group itself owns 47% of the joint venture, and the deal is unlikely to succeed if strongly rejected by the US.
Wait!
The European Union took the lead in approving the deal, allowing Daimler to sell Chrysler to Lin Feng. On the other hand, the United States is in trouble. The U.S. Department of Commerce on the acquisition, into a fierce discussion. Hawks are firmly opposed to the deal and think that Chrysler can never be sold to Lin Feng, but Conservatives think that the protagonist of this acquisition is Jessica Alba. Although the relationship between her acquisition and Lin Feng is well known, there is no difference between her acquisition and Lin Feng's acquisition, but according to American law, they have no right to forcibly interfere. If you interfere, it's very easy to get into a lawsuit, but Lin Feng won't give up easily. What's more, this time it was Goldman Sachs bank, which is a real bank of America.
"Hey bill, do you think the commerce department will agree?" Asked Lin Feng.
"At present, the possibility of final agreement is relatively high. Because the United States is a legal society, they can not refuse such a deal. " Clinton said with a smile, "Lin, I think you think it's best to find an American partner to help you with the acquisition. And you don't come out, and it's better that he or she has enough money to buy. After all, even if the United States is the most enlightened country in the world, it is still very conservative in some things. Especially you are the target of public criticism
Lin Feng nodded. In his own memory, can completely trust, and rich, is Ellison. However, his main business is in the IT industry, and it is unlikely to help him acquire other companies. Around her, Jessica Alba, who has American nationality and can be fully trusted, and Liu Yifei, who also has American nationality. Of course, to be honest, his son Lin Jiaqi also has American nationality, but his identity has not been revealed.
Liu Yifei? Her family has a background in the United States, and she is also in business. However, she is still Chinese, not as pure American as Jessica. Lin Feng thought about how to cultivate his career line. Just like Li Ka Shing's wise choice to let Li zeju become a Canadian citizen and then acquired Air Canada. Of course, now Air Canada is under Avril's name, and it was sold to Avril by Li zeju. In fact, it was sold to itself.
Among the news that Lin Feng is waiting for the approval of the US Department of Commerce, Kilpatrick comes to visit Lin Feng again, hoping to get Lin Feng's help, and proposes that he can put pressure on the US Department of Commerce, or that he can directly mobilize the rights of the citizens of Detroit to vote whether Lin Feng's bill to buy Chrysler is passed through a referendum. Because this is a Detroit company, the citizens of Detroit have the right to decide the future of their city.
"Lin, please, help me once, I can give you more!" Kilpatrick pleaded.
These two days, he thought a lot. Even want to take the risk to find someone to delete these messages, or buy someone from the phone company to delete these messages. But it's too risky. If it leaks, it's over. Looking for Lin Feng is the least risky option.
Lin Feng smiles.
"How about I think about it?" Lin Feng said with a smile.
Kilpatrick left again in frustration, but this time he had more hope than last time. After all, Lin Feng said, consider. Last time I just let myself go. It's a little bit of progress after all, No.
I hope the U.S. Department of Commerce will terminate this transaction! Mayor Kilpatrick whispered in his heart. In that way, he can help Lin Feng and show his value.
