Chapter 667 Target
A week passed in a blink of an eye. Things did not go too smoothly for Zhou Yu when he arrived in Germany. Of course, Zhou Yu also knew that this trip might not be able to solve all the problems easily. Of course, the introduction and purchase of technology were also difficult.
It can't be something that can be done in just a few days' stay.
It took only a short amount of time to visit and not see much, but the several companies I contacted clearly expressed their willingness to cooperate. In normal business, no one would drive away customers, but
None of them were satisfactory to Zhou Yu.
Originally, he planned to continue to Japan to look for new opportunities and see if there was a better way to cooperate, but Li Minxiu, who came with him, smiled and thrust a local newspaper into Zhou Yu's hand.
"Professor, if you don't take a look at this, I think there might be a chance."
Zhou Yu took the newspaper and took a look. A German headline in the newspaper immediately attracted his attention. Taking over ROVRE was BM's biggest failure...
Zhou Yu looked thoughtful: "ROVRE..."
Li Minxiu winked: "It's that company that's very good at four-wheel drive. It also has the production technology for sedans and small sports cars."
Although the world is different, many things are similar. Although the spelling of ROVRE is not in the right order, Zhou Yu also reacted immediately. Isn't this the company where the majestic Land Rover was born?
"Check it out." Zhou Yu nodded and was about to ask Han Zongbin to check it out, but after taking Yin Xuanyou, he came over and handed something to Zhou Yu: "Master, this is Senior Minxiu and Xiyu.
Why don't you take a look at the information I found in the past few days?"
Li Minxiu smiled at Zhou Yu and said, "You can't help me if you come out with me."
"Oh, thank you." Zhou Yu smiled and took the thing from Yin Xuanyou's hand and started to read it immediately. While looking at the information prepared by Li Minxiu and Jin Xiyu, he also recalled about the Rover brand.
Zhou Yu actually doesn't know much about this brand, but he also made a car in his life, so he knows a little bit about cars, but he doesn't know much.
According to the information compiled by the two people here, Rover Automobile Group was taken over by BMW for 800 million pounds not long ago. However, in a short period of time, it has brought losses of almost one billion U.S. dollars to BMW, and it can be expected
What's more, it will continue to be BMW's biggest liability in the future.
But Zhou Yu knew that BMW actually split up and sold Rover within a few years after taking over the management of Rover. He only kept the mini car MINI, rebuilt it and launched it on the market. Later, Jaguar Land Rover, MG and others appeared.
Brands that have nothing to do with them, and other brands I can only say I don’t know much about.
Although Rover is a loser in the hands of BMW, it does not mean that Rover does not have available technology, and it is not as simple as a brand. Brand value is valuable, but to Zhou Yu, it is the least important thing.
Although Rover is not available now, it was once a popular car brand. It also has relevant technologies and a professional team. These are all things that Shunyang Motors does not have today, and it also has the ability to develop everything from off-road vehicles to
Seeing all the manufacturing technology and production capabilities of small cars, Zhou Yu suddenly felt that this might be a good opportunity for Shunyang Automobile to completely turn around.
After reading it, Zhou Yu put the information together and gave a thumbs up to Li Minxiu and Jin Xiyu: "Well done, if it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have noticed this company."
Jin Xiyu shook his head, and Li Minxiu chuckled and said: "Although it is a loser, it is what Shunyang needs most now. We just don't know if we can get it, and we are worried that you may not be satisfied."
"I think it's very good. I'll know if I can take it down and try it out." Zhou Yu smiled and shook his head, calling Han Zongbin to hand the information to him: "Let the people in the research office investigate and get in touch with the American Investment Company.
On behalf of the company, it will take the lead in the acquisition together with Shunyang Automobile."
Han Zongbin nodded: "I'll make arrangements right away."
Zhou Yu said: "By the way, I have canceled my trip to Japan. If we can finalize things here, we won't have to go over there. Today, everyone will have a good rest and move around freely. I will arrange a boat to go fishing."
"Okay." Han Zongbin glanced at Zhou Yu and then at the other people in the room. Yin Xuanyou said, "I will go fishing with the young master."
Li Minxiu had no interest in fishing, so he shook his head and said, "I won't go. It's rare to go abroad and I have to go out and have fun. Will Xiyu come with me?"
Jin Xiyu didn't care, nodded and said: "Okay."
Han Zongbin knew how to arrange it now. He asked people to take Li Minxiu and Jin Xiyu out to play, while the young master and Yin Xuanyou went fishing. It was just right for the two parties to meet up and have dinner on the boat at about the same time.
After staying here for two more days, people from the American investment company also rushed over to join Han Zongbin and started to contact BM. Zhou Yu did not show up and took the other three people around for a walk every day.
, and it took a few days for the other side to finally express an intention to talk.
Zhou Yu also only gave Han Zongbin a few requirements. After all, it was led by an American investment company. There were almost no restrictions in all aspects. The most important thing was that you must pay attention to technical issues. Don't let the company take over but because of
Such restrictions and terms cannot share technology with Shunyang Automobile.
At the same time, Zhou Yu also asked Han Zongbin to find several automotive technology research and development teams here to poach Shunyang. If you don't want to go to South Korea, you can stay and work here. After Han Zongbin wrote down all Zhou Yu's requirements, he took the people to stay.
Continue the next thing here, and Zhou Yu only stayed in Germany for half a month before returning to the country, but Yi Xuanyou and the other three chose to stay. The reason given to Zhou Yu was that they wanted to
Keep playing around here and see if I can be of any help.
Zhou Yu, who knew that the three of them were reborn, naturally would not object. He agreed with a smile and told Han Zongbin alone that if the three of them had any ideas, they could give them priority.
This time, Zhou Yu was taken to Zhengxinzhai by Chief Li at the airport. There were a bunch of people in Zhengxinzhai again, including his eldest uncle's family, his second uncle's family, his aunt's family, and his entire family.
As soon as he came back, everyone focused on him. The person who behaved the most friendly, proactive and affectionate in front of Zhou Yu was Chen Huaying, his aunt.
Chen Huaying stood up with a smile and walked over: "Director Jun is back. I heard that you went to Germany to discuss business this time. Why don't you ask your aunt to come with you? My aunt can also help you with advice. How is the business discussion going?
It doesn’t matter if you lose money, my aunt will try her best to make up for it when the time comes. Did you bring any gifts to your aunt when you went out this time?”
"Yes." Zhou Yu nodded with a smile and said, "In the car, I bought aunt's specialties there and specially selected a bag for her. I don't know if you will like it, aunt."
Chen Huaying didn't care about the gifts, but was more concerned about Zhou Yu's attitude towards him. After a few years, Zhou Yu would get older and even if he didn't inherit the family business, he would jump out of school and enter politics. The platform and starting point would be beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
It's too much to say that at least her husband, Cui son-in-law, definitely has more status.
And unlike Cui's son-in-law, who is not popular, she knows very well that as long as her nephew has such an idea, he will definitely get the full support of Shunyang, and with her son-in-law's ability and his appearance, which is more handsome than a big star, he can do whatever he wants.
It would be absolutely easy to marry someone from a political family.
Chen Huaying is not hypocritical at all and feels that based on the current situation of her nephew and the attention of the people, if she wants to run for president in the future, she will definitely have a high probability of winning the election, not to mention that Chen Huaying has always been clear in her heart.
He has no way of inheriting the family business. The one who is most likely to inherit the family business is not the eldest brother who currently lives in Zhengxinzhai, but the nephew who took the initiative to move out of Zhengxinzhai and stay in school to teach.
From now on, my husband's future and future prosperity will depend on this little kid in front of me. Can Chen Huaying be unfriendly or unkind?
Zhou Yu not only brought gifts to Chen Huaying, but also to everyone in the family. When people outside brought the gifts in, Zhou Yu personally delivered the gifts to everyone. Grandma received the gift from Zhou Yu.
The thing also touched Zhou Yu's face happily.
"Our guide Jun has really grown up and is getting more and more handsome now. Why is that bad old man of your grandfather so cruel to marry you so early? As soon as I saw that girl, I knew she was not an economical person.
Fortunately, your grandpa realized his conscience and has now canceled the engagement for you."
Zhou Yu was a little surprised: "Retired?"
Grandma touched Zhou Yu's head and said with a smile: "Yes, that girl is not suitable for our guide. Grandma has the best eyes. She can tell at a glance that the girl is not suitable. This time grandma must find a guide for Jun."
The best wife."
Zhou Yu nodded obediently: "Thank you, grandma."
The uncle and the second uncle wanted to know what Zhou Yu was going out to do this time. They probably knew that Zhou Yu's trip to Germany was related to Shunyang Automobile, but they didn't know the specific situation now, but there was no chance now.
I can ask nicely.
On the other hand, Chen Yangzhe, who had been waiting for Zhou Yu in the study room and couldn't wait, walked out of the study room and came to the edge of the stairs. When he saw Zhou Yu down there with no intention of going upstairs, he was immediately furious.
Coughed.
Everyone who heard the commotion turned around and saw Chen Yangzhe standing on the stairs with a dark face. Grandma smiled and patted Zhou Yu: "Go, your grandpa must not be able to wait any longer and has already come out to call for help.
"
Zhou Yu nodded and picked up a bag next to him and hurried upstairs: "Grandpa."
"Come in with me."
Chen Yangzhe frowned and snorted angrily. The eldest uncle and the second uncle looked at each other and followed, but were stopped by Li Hengcai in front of the study door: "The president told you not to go in, he wants to be alone with the young master.
say something."
The two had no choice but to stand outside the door and wait.
Chen Yangzhe, after taking Zhou Yu into the inner study, sat down, looked at Zhou Yu and said, "Everyone has gifts, but mine is."
"Yes." Zhou Yu opened his schoolbag and took out several car models and placed them on Chen Yangzhe's desk. Chen Yangzhe looked at them and was stunned: "Is this my gift?"
"Yeah." Zhou Yu nodded and smiled: "Although the gift seems to be just a car model, what grandpa wants to see is the meaning behind it."
"Meaning?" Chen Yangzhe smiled amusedly, picked up a car model and looked at it carefully, and also noticed the logo on the car model.
How could Chen Yangzhe, who was as shrewd as a fox, fail to realize what Zhou Yu meant? He looked at Zhou Yu with some surprise: "You acquired this company?"
Zhou Yu said: "We are talking. It is going well now. If nothing unexpected happens, we should have the final result in a short time."
Chen Yangzhe knocked on the table lightly: "Do you think this company will be helpful to Shunyang Automobile?"
Zhou Yudao: "Shunyang Automobile does not have any core technology. Although the most glorious time of this brand has passed and it is still a money-losing product, they also have their own engine and gearbox technology, which can make up for Shunyang Automobile's shortcomings to the greatest extent. After all,
It’s an old factory with many years of experience and it’s definitely not bad.”
Chen Yangzhe asked: "What do you think? Tell me what you think. Even if you sell Shunyang Auto, you can't buy this brand, right?"
Zhou Yu sat on the chair and said: "I asked my investment company in the United States to take the lead in a joint acquisition with Shunyang Automobile. If there is someone taking the lead, the process will be smoother. Once the acquisition is completed, I will continue to dismantle this brand in Europe and the United States.
Division and reorganization will continue to produce new types of cars for sale, and domestic Shunyang will be able to share all the technology to make up for the shortcomings. In the end, just like DW, Shunyang will become a large car manufacturer that controls many different brands.
"
“Although this process may cost a lot of money, given my current situation, it will probably take a long time, and I believe that the new cars we launch will definitely sell well, so that all my current investments will eventually be realized.
You can earn it all back."
Chen Yangzhe shook his head and didn't know what to say. His grandson's style was much more heroic than his own, but his ability to make money was indeed extraordinary. He could only remind him: "Too much change is not a good thing."
"I know, I will pay attention."
Zhou Yu nodded and took out some pictures from his schoolbag and handed them to Chen Yangzhe: "Grandpa, this is the new car design I am planning to have Shunyang Automobile manufacture next. You can see which one is more suitable."
Chen Yangzhe took it and took a look at it, but he couldn't take his eyes away from it. The design that was full of beauty and grandeur across the ages was refreshing to Chen Yangzhe.
"Did you draw this? How could you come up with such a design?"
Zhou Yu shook his head: "It's not me, I came up with it together with others. As long as the quality is reliable, I think this shape should be able to attract a lot of people's attention. These designs are also the only ones now. Anyway, I think it is very attractive. I
We are planning to release two high-end models at the same time, what do you think?"
