Everyone returned to the office building of Kyushu Motors.
In a large conference room, both parties occupied one side.
The people on one side were negotiating teams from more than a dozen large international automobile companies, totaling more than fifty people.
The people on the other side were from Jiuzhou Auto, several company presidents led by Xu Yifan, and several negotiators in the company. There were only a dozen people in total, and they looked weak and helpless!
It was as if a pack of wolves had surrounded the little sheep and were debating which piece of meat was more delicious and how to eat it, so that they could swallow the sheep with its skin and bones!
In the newly built office building of Jiuzhou Automobile, both parties took their seats.
The first person to come on stage was Quinlan Silva, the representative of the car companies. This blond, blue-eyed middle-aged man spoke fluent Chinese and spoke to Xu Yifan.
"Mr. Xu Yifan, we have also seen Kyushu Automobile and are very satisfied with the company's technical strength. If we can cooperate or acquire Kyushu Automobile, we will be very willing to see it."
"Our first goal is definitely to take over everything of Kyushu Motors, so you can set a price. If it's suitable, we will fully acquire Kyushu Motors. Don't worry, we will definitely give you a satisfactory price."
The other person spoke with great confidence and satisfaction.
Xu Yifan looked at the other party and hesitated a little: "Sold Jiuzhou Automobile Company at a high price. Do you really have the ability to acquire it?"
Quinlan Silva said with a smile: "It's possible for a single company, but we can acquire it with multiple companies. Among the automobile companies here today, seven of the top ten global automobile manufacturing companies have come together. The wealth will be an immeasurable amount of money, even beyond your imagination!"
After Xu Yifan heard this, he was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about the appropriate price for Jiuzhou Automobile.
The entire conference room was quiet. After a long time, Xu Yifan finally spoke and solemnly said to these people: "Ten trillion dollars!"
. . . . . .
The scene went cold for a moment, and then the senior executives of these car companies blurted out words in various languages.
"Ten trillion?! Or dollars?!"
"Is this person crazy? Ten trillion?!"
"Have you never seen the money? Does he know what a huge amount it is?"
“Zimbabwe currency is still about the same!”
When they entered the conference room, the voices of many car company executives became quieter, and Quinlan Silva said helplessly: "Mr. Xu Yifan, this price is too high!"
Xu Yifan was speechless: "Didn't you say that you are so powerful that you can't even afford ten trillion US dollars?"
Quinlan Silver: "Do you know what ten trillion U.S. dollars is?! The GDP of China as a whole last year was only six trillion U.S. dollars, and the United States, the world's largest economy, was only Fifteen trillion U.S. dollars! The current richest man in the world is only worth over 60 billion US dollars!”
"It is impossible for a single car company or multiple car companies to obtain such a huge amount of wealth. This is no longer a lion's mouth, but an absolutely impossible astronomical figure!"
What Xu Yifan wants is a price the other party cannot afford!
However, he still had to express his dissatisfaction on his face, and said to these people angrily: "Not even 10 trillion U.S. dollars. I think the value of Kyushu Auto in the future will be more than 10 trillion U.S. dollars. If it were not for lithium resources... ." In the end, his voice became softer and softer, as if he lacked confidence.
Quinlan Silva thought for a while and said, "We can give you a price of US$200 billion to fully acquire Kyushu Motors and Kyushu Motors."
The original idea was to let the other party make a price first. If the price was lower than the price they negotiated, they would be able to take advantage of it. The price difference might be tens or tens of billions of dollars.
Now it seems that the young chairman of Kyushu Automobile does not have a clear understanding of the value of Kyushu Automobile, so he can only take the initiative.
Xu Yifan shook his head decisively: "No, this price is too low. Of course, the price is not out of the question. I think US$999 billion is acceptable!"
Quinlan Silva looked shocked: "Are you sincere?"
Xu Yifan nodded: "Sincerely!"
Quinlan Silva shook his head helplessly and said: "This price is too high. To be honest, the result of our meeting was to acquire Kyushu Automobile for up to 300 billion US dollars. If it is any higher, it will exceed our budget.
And as you said, Jiuzhou Auto's products all require the support of lithium iron phosphate batteries produced from lithium ore resources. If there are no lithium ore resources or the lithium ore resources are expensive, it will be very difficult for Jiuzhou Automobile to make money.
According to our calculations, 300 billion U.S. dollars is the profit that Kyushu Auto can make in thirty years under normal and good operating conditions. "
Although the price was not within the reach of both parties, Quinlan Silva still tried his best to fight for it.
Xu Yifan: "Jiuzhou Automobile will continue to develop. We have the world's first-class research and development capabilities. Only US$300 billion cannot buy our future!"
There is always a huge price gap between the two parties.
After discussing for more than an hour, Quinlan Silva finally had no choice but to temporarily give up the idea of acquiring Kyushu Automobile.
Or will you think of other ways to put pressure on Kyushu Automobile?
The idea of acquisition has not been discussed for the time being, but other aspects can also be discussed. The acquisition of Kyushu Automobile is mainly for technology, so as not to be occupied by this company in the next automobile market.
For example, in terms of technology, if everyone has similar technologies, then the threat from Kyushu Automobile will no longer be so great.
Quinlan Silva explained his thoughts to Xu Yifan: "Mr. Xu Yifan, the difference in purchase price is really too big and not acceptable. Do you think this is okay? Jiuzhou Automobile still only belongs to you. , but we can cooperate on technology."
"Jiuzhou Motors' Suzaku Motor, Jinwu Motor, lithium iron phosphate battery technology, battery replacement technology, hybrid technology... These technologies can all be cooperated or licensed, and we can also pay some funds for this."
Xu Yifan waved his hand with some disinterest: "For technical cooperation, as for the specific price, you can discuss a rough price with the presidents of our Kyushu Motors. If it is more suitable, I will not object."
Xu Yifan's part was basically over. In the following time, Kyushu Motor's senior executives faced off against negotiators from many automobile companies.
Mainly in terms of technology, it is best to buy out the technology patents and be willing to pay a very high price for this.
At the same time, it would be good if some products can be produced through cooperation. They can also use joint ventures to build new factories, and even be willing to contribute funds and manpower for this. Jiuzhou Automobile only needs to provide technology and then pay dividends.
Even among these companies, there are companies that want to purchase motor power systems from Kyushu Automobile, lithium iron phosphate batteries from Hengxin Battery Factory, etc.
It's just that in terms of the price of these technologies, after a long period of back and forth negotiation, we basically couldn't reach an agreement in the end, and it was always a bit higher than their psychological price.
This made all the senior car company executives curse in their hearts!
Going up and down this Jiuzhou car, I have no idea how much I weigh!
Although the technology is very good, it is not worth the high price!
However, there are not all people in the factory who are illiterate, and there are also several presidents who seem to be very willing to cooperate. However, every time they want to cooperate on certain technologies, another person will always come up next to them and object to the price.
During the negotiation, there was an episode. Just after four o'clock in the afternoon, a middle-aged man pushed open the door and rushed into the conference room.
The person who came was none other than Jiangzhou City Chen Qianjun, who was wearing a suit and accompanied by a male secretary!
After coming in, the big boss rushed directly in front of Xu Yifan and said loudly: "Jiuzhou Auto cannot be sold. The official has given Kyushu Auto so much support. Jiuzhou Auto cannot be sold just because it will cause immeasurable losses to the country." !”
Xu Yifan asked back: "Mayor Chen, can the official give us lithium resources?!"
Between asking and answering, the identity of the other party was revealed to the people in the conference room.
Chen Qianjun said sincerely: "We can find a solution. I will report the situation of Kyushu Automobile to my superiors and provide loans. We can also coordinate the supply of some lithium resources domestically."
Xu Yifan sighed and shook his head: "Without lithium ore resources, Jiuzhou Automobile will suffer losses. Now the price of lithium ore resources has tripled from a month ago. What if it continues to rise?
Originally, in order to support the country's new energy plan, Hengxin Battery Factory made almost no money. Now the current market price will offset our profits, and we may even lose money in the future!
Which Kyushu Auto product does not require a battery? If lithium resources are not resolved, we will go bankrupt in a few months, and the country has no reason to do so. Let us just wait for bankruptcy! "
Chen Qianjun: "You will cause huge losses to the country. The factory will not just sell it!"
Xu Yifan frowned and said, "I haven't sold Jiuzhou Auto yet. Now I'm just negotiating some technical cooperation agreements..."
Chen Qianjun sat next to Xu Yifan, and the two spoke in a lower voice until the car company personnel who had just looked over returned their attention to the negotiation.
Xu Yifan then kept a calm expression on his face and said in a low voice: "As expected of a veteran official, his acting skills are amazing, and he is no worse than the Best Actor in the movie!"
Chen Qianjun said to Xu Yifan with a serious face: "You are not bad at all. You will definitely be popular as an actor!"
Xu Yifan looked helpless: "How about I change my career to become an actor?"
"Haha, I still don't want it. Kyushu Automobile can't live without you!"
While the two were talking, they still looked serious.
If Xu Yifan hadn't communicated with the other party in advance and rehearsed it, he would have really thought that the authorities had received the news and came to stop this business negotiation!
————————
At 6 p.m., the negotiations, which lasted for more than four hours, ended.
After having dinner at the Jiuzhou Automobile Canteen, many senior executives of automobile companies who came this time returned to Jiangzhou City Hotel.
In a high-end suite, many senior car company executives who came this time gathered together to hold a small meeting.
Quinlan Silva: "It seems we have to be prepared for long-term negotiations. The results we want from Jiuzhou Automobile Company are not so easy to achieve."
Firouza Burr: "No, we have to put pressure on them. Let's contact the companies respectively. Let's increase the price of lithium resources by another liter. I will choke Kyushu Auto's neck!"
Akio Toyoda: "Business negotiations involving changes in the automobile industry will definitely not achieve our goals too easily. They just tried it out today and deliberately said a high price to understand our psychological tolerance range before setting a price. Next comes the real negotiation!”
The rest of them.
"I still have to report today's work progress to the company. No, I have to get off work on time tomorrow and be prepared for a protracted war."
"The goal must be achieved. After seeing Kyushu Auto, I have a clearer understanding of this company's technology and the strength of this company. If the development of Kyushu Auto cannot be curbed, companies like ours may be suppressed in the future. Kyushu Motors stepped on it."
"In terms of funds, I still have more than half of them. I originally planned to use these funds to achieve the goal. If it is insufficient, we can add more!"
"If I want to increase the amount again, I have to report it to the head office and hold a meeting before making a decision. However, this is the goal that must be achieved, and the additional funds are very worthwhile!"
Unlike Jiuzhou Automobile, which has sufficient confidence, the only card these car companies can play now is lithium ore resources.
When something goes wrong, the first thing that comes to mind is naturally to tighten the big hand stuck on Jiuzhou Auto's neck to make Jiuzhou Auto even more painful.
——————
On the other side, in the conference room of Jiuzhou Automobile, a group of senior executives of Jiuzhou Automobile were also having a meeting.
It is different from the frowning and solemn atmosphere of those car companies.
Everyone here at Kyushu Automobile was full of smiles, and the conversation was quite pleasant and relaxed.
Xu Yifan smiled and said: "I didn't expect that everyone has the talent to be an actor!"
Ye Zhiyong nodded: "It was still a little unnatural at the beginning, but it got much better later on, and it can be adjusted freely!"
Yao Yuan chuckled: "Bring it in, bring it into the real crisis that the company encounters, and invest in it."
Ye Zhiyong: "Next, if they continue to increase lithium resources, we can also give a small push behind them, but it is not advisable to use too much funds to enter, so as not to alert the snake, or to start a shooting!"
"The most important thing is to wait until our sodium-ion battery is announced before investing a large amount of money in short selling!"
Deng Yingzhuo stretched out: "Strive for this state and maintain it for a month or two. Hehe, get off work and get off work!"
