Chapter 3607

On the eve of the end of the referendum, US Commerce Secretary Carlos Guterres found Lin Feng.

"Mr. Lin, regarding the acquisition, we can agree to the acquisition in principle according to various considerations, but I need Mr. Lin to give me several guarantees, which will be written in the acquisition contract!" Carlos Guterres looked at Lin Feng and put his hands together.

Lin Feng smiles and signals Carlos Guterres to say the conditions. For this acquisition, Lin Feng naturally hopes to succeed, and also hopes to reach a memorandum of understanding with the Ministry of Commerce. Otherwise, even if the referendum is passed, the Ministry of commerce is constantly tossing around behind it, which is also a vexation. If not necessary, Lin Feng is not willing to go against the US Department of Commerce. This is America, after all.

"Mr. Lin, I believe you should know more about Chrysler than I do. I won't say anything superfluous. I just want to say that, after all, Chrysler is the second largest automobile manufacturing company in the United States, employing more than 200000 employees, most of whom work in Detroit. Therefore, I hope that after the acquisition, there will be no layoffs. " Carlos Guterres said.

Since the acquisition is inevitable, Carlos Guterres should try his best to earn enough political chips for himself. That's why he came to talk to Lin Feng. The Ministry of Commerce agreed to Lin Feng's acquisition of Chrysler, but also put forward some conditions to prove that the Ministry of Commerce has done something in this matter. The first thing is not to let Lin Feng lay off his staff. For such large-scale acquisitions in the past, especially for companies with extremely difficult operating conditions, once they are acquired, the first thing for the new management is to lay off staff. This is already the norm, and there is nothing wrong with it.

But Carlos won't let Lin Feng lay off his staff. In this way, publicity can greatly enhance the image of the Ministry of Commerce and its influence in the political arena. 53, still a promising age.

No layoffs? Lin Feng turned his lips.

"Yes, I can promise about that, but those workers have to accept the demand for a pay cut. The salary of 4000 a month is too high for today's depressed auto manufacturing industry. " Lin Feng raised his voice and said, "if I don't reduce my salary, I can only choose to lay off employees! After all, we bought Chrysler, not to see it continue to sink, but to hope that it can shine again. "

Carlos Guterres thought and nodded. If you don't want a pay cut, no one can stand it. A monthly salary of $4000, which does not include year-end bonus, annual leave, and annual salary increase. After all, the auto workers in Detroit are really happy. But this happiness is also the source of disaster for the auto industry in Detroit today. The auto industry is in recession, but the wages of workers are still high. In this case, it is inevitable to reduce wages. For Carlos, as long as there are no layoffs, it is his victory.

"Second, after the acquisition, I hope to continue to keep the name of Chrysler, and I don't want Chrysler to be the past, a history." Carlos made a second request.

Lin Feng has no objection to this. Chrysler is an old brand in the past 70 or 80 years and enjoys a high reputation all over the world. Although it is no longer popular, compared with DPCA, its brand appeal and influence are far better. Therefore, Lin Feng will not dig his own grave. It's the most reasonable thing to keep the name of Chrysler.

"The third point is that I hope to add a clause to the contract, that is, the future shareholders of Chrysler have the right to buy back Chrysler at the original price." Carlos put forward the last condition, which is also the most harsh condition.

Lin Feng was stunned. This condition can be said to be quite unreasonable. Only people with bad brains can put forward such a condition. Have the right to buy back Chrysler at the original price. What a bullshit clause. Now is the lowest time for Chrysler, so Daimler Benz will agree to sell all the ownership of Chrysler to Lin Feng for $8.7 billion. When Lin Feng takes over, he will develop Chrysler vigorously, but you have to impose a buy back agreement at the original price. What do you mean?

Now Chrysler is worth US $8.7 billion. If it grows up and is worth US $87 billion, will you buy it back at the original price of US $8.7 billion? Isn't that bullshit! Be yourself a fool, or be yourself a fool?

"Minister Guterres, is Lin Feng a fool, or do you think Lin Feng is a fool?" Lin Feng said coldly, "do you think I will agree to such a ridiculous condition? Or do you think you have the charm to let me sign such an agreement? Minister Guterres, I only like women! "

At first, Minister Guterres didn't understand Lin Feng's words. Later, after a careful review, he realized it. Lin Feng called him a homosexual, a dead pervert!

"Lin Feng, you have gone too far!" Guterres slapped the table and yelled.

"Too much? Not as much as you! Who do you think I am? Help you raise pigs, fatten, you use the price of piglets recovery, I want to agree to this clause, then I am really a pig Lin Feng sneered, "you idiots, don't be all idiots in the world like you."

Guterres's face changed.

"You know, Lin Feng, we can disagree with this deal. Even if there is a referendum, we can veto the deal in other ways. Even if it can't be vetoed, it can also make this deal into a lasting state and make your acquisition difficult! You know... "Guterres showed his privileges as secretary of Commerce.

Lin Feng shrugged his shoulders.

"So what? Is it my loss to be unable to trade? Secretary Guterres, don't forget that I decided to buy Chrysler for Jessica's sake. In fact, in my eyes, Chrysler is not my dish at all. I want to acquire GM, and I really despise others. If you want to veto it, I can spend less money and do less snacks. So, just veto it! Minister Guterres, it's not my loss to veto this deal. It's the loss of all the workers in Detroit, and the loss of the city as a whole. " Lin Feng said calmly, "so please come back now. Zhiling, see off

"Please, Minister!" Lin Zhiling said with a smile.

what! Let yourself go! Before Guterres came, it never occurred to him that Lin Feng would drive people out and even drive out the US Secretary of Commerce. In his opinion, even if the terms he proposed were too harsh, the business negotiation was nothing more than asking for a price and paying back the money on the spot. Naturally, he didn't think that Lin Feng would agree to this condition, but it was also for his next goal that he proposed to pave the way for the terms equivalent to the recovery of the market value of the stock price in the future.

This is equivalent to hanging a sword of dak Morris on Lin Feng's head. In other words, it's like opening a back door on Lin Feng's side. After Lin Feng has managed Chrysler well, he can persuade some American giants to recover its market value. Before the recovery, we can attack the share price of Chrysler by some financial means, so as to achieve the goal of purchasing at the lowest price. Lin Feng, on the other hand, has become a pig farmer, a pig farmer who has fattened pigs but can only sell them at the price of piglets.

But unexpectedly, before he finished, he was driven out by Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng, you will regret it! You will regret it Guterres yelled angrily in the wind. But in response to him, it was just the sound of closing the door.

FUCK！ FUCK！ Lin Feng, you will regret it, you will! Minister Guterres roared in the wind.

"Boss, is this really good?" Lin Zhiling heard the roar coming from outside, worried.

"Ha ha, people respect me, I respect people. Even if I want to treat Lin Feng as an idiot, I will let him know the anger of the idiot! " Lin Feng said faintly.

"Boss, I think this is just a foreshadowing made by Guterres. His real chip is definitely not this!" Natalie Portman analysis said.

"Ha ha, I know. He is afraid that he will eventually propose to allow us companies to make acquisitions at market value equivalent on that day. But I will never agree to this condition. I bought Chrysler, worked so hard to grow it, and at last I got the American cheap. I'm not that stupid! " Lin Feng said in a cold voice, "Guterres wants to make a huge profit. His original intention is good, but I, Lin Feng, am not the kind of person who has been sold and helps people get money!"

"What about tomorrow's referendum?" Lin Zhiling asked.

"Ha ha, don't worry. Mayor Kilpatrick is so enthusiastic that he will help us solve these problems." Lin Feng said with a smile, "compared with us, mayor Kilpatrick is more urgent!"

Isn't it? For this acquisition, Lin Feng is not indispensable. Everyone has made a wrong assessment that Lin Feng must buy Chrysler. In fact, this is not the case. Lin Feng for this acquisition, is to take a kind of acquisition, of course, is a good thing, there is no success does not matter. With a tentative attitude, it is not necessary to acquire. Therefore, for minister Guterres' domineering attitude, Lin Feng can be more domineering response. Moreover, for this acquisition, Lin Feng's mentality is also very calm.

Even if you want to buy it, you have to take advantage of it. This is Lin Feng's attitude towards this acquisition. Like some state-owned enterprises, Lin Feng never went to buy a foreign company that was once famous but now in decline. It was like the successful Normandy landing. For Lin Feng, the acquisition of any enterprise, no matter how famous, is not for a symbolic meaning, but for practical interests!

Chrysler, too!
