"Tsk tsk, it turned out to be it." Seeing the car company brand chosen by the company team, Lu Ning suddenly realized that this was a good choice.
The GR Group in England is also a car company that has been around for nearly a century. In 1905, Herbert Austin established the Austin Motor Company in Longbridge, Minham, England, and then successively became the British Motor Company, British Leyland, and Rover. The company and later the headquarters of the gr company.
The GR Group has been brilliant for a while, and its representative models include: Austin 7, i, Austin Metro, Rover 75, etc. Before, BMW also acquired the GR Group, but the transformation and resurrection were not particularly successful .
During BMW's acquisition of GR, GR faced many problems, such as high absenteeism rate, underutilization of production lines, low labor efficiency, and excessive sales discounts.
This also makes BMW appear to be in a bit of a state of distress, and the existence of these problems is actually closely related to the frequent shareholding changes of the GR Group.
Anyway, GR Group has neglected and indifferent to important aspects such as product production management, quality control, and technology research and development.
This also turned the GR Group into a long-term money-losing product, and BMW wanted to sell it as soon as possible.
If the memory is correct, it seems that it was acquired by Huaguo's Nanjing Automobile Group and launched the G MG.
However, it didn't seem to be popular for long. After all, when the gr group acquired it, its technology had already seriously lagged behind other car companies.
Lu Ning looked very carefully. If someone else came to acquire the GR Group, apart from a brand, there really would be no valuable technology.
It's just an empty shell, and it has to bear heavy debts. The gain is definitely not worth the loss. This is why BMW has not found a suitable buyer.
However, for Lu Ning, this is what he wants. Spend the least amount of money to buy a year-round car company, and then shut down the factory in England. As for the compensation, hehe, everyone is living in the capital world. Yes, how to evade the local government is a matter of my family.
As for the factory, no matter where it is opened, it is better than opening it in England.
The English government's protection of labor is well-known around the world.
After reading the email in one breath, Lu Ning nodded in satisfaction, took out his mobile phone, and called Fu Bo.
After two rings, Uncle Fu quickly answered the phone. He must have been waiting for Lu Ning's call back.
"Forbe, this is the GR Group. Find our people to negotiate and buy it with the least amount of money. As for the technology, we don't have to, but it must be our sole holding."
"Okay, master, if we don't need technology, our team has the confidence to negotiate a price within 3000 million pounds. You know, BMW has long wanted to throw away this hot potato."
"Forber, after buying it, shut down the GR Group's factory in England, sold its important assets in England, and used it to take responsibility and dismiss employees."
"Master, are you going to completely move the GR Group out of the UK?" Fuber was a little puzzled. He didn't want production lines, factories, or technology. What did the young master want to play?
"England's protection of labor is too strict, and the price of labor is too high, so it is not suitable to set up factories there. Faber, you just start to do it."
"Okay, master, I see. If we follow what you said, then we only need to spend up to 1500 million pounds, which should be enough. After all, part of the land of the GR Group's assets is quite valuable." Forber optimistically predicted Estimated.
Hehe, 1500 million pounds, an old car company has become so worthless, and it is half the price of the Ferrari 250gto that I bought.
Lu Ning felt a little embarrassed, no matter how you looked at it, it seemed like a rhythm of taking advantage of the fire.
"Master, we will contact BMW tomorrow, and we should have news within three days." The work efficiency of the Lu's consortium is so high. A merger worth tens of millions is nothing more than a piece of money for the Lu's consortium. Mosquito meat.
"Excuse me, Uncle Fu." Lu Ning hung up the phone, and studied the GR Group again, tsk tsk, it seems that this car company will rebuild its glory in his own hands.
What will people call themselves in the future?The father of electric vehicles?
The more Lu Ning thought about it, the more interesting he felt, um, today's coffee is not bad, it smells so good.
The weather in Shanghai was a bit cold and damp, and Lu Ning didn't want to go out to suffer. It was better for his wife to stay in the hotel peacefully and comfortably. During the period, he called Qin Lan.
The framework of Lu's investment company has been set up, and the middle-level cadres and employees are already in place. I have to admire Qin Lan's work efficiency. Such a subordinate makes Lu Ning a lot easier.
However, at this time, Qin Lan was not in good spirits. Obviously, the long hours of busy work and high-intensity workload made Qin Lan a little tired.
"Don't work too hard on anything. After all, your body comes first." Lu Ning's caring words filled Qin Lan's heart with warmth. Everything she did was in Lu Ning's eyes. The busy time is worth it.
"It's okay, I'm not too busy. Besides, the company has allocated a car for me. There is a special car to pick me up every day when I go out. If you are tired, you can take a rest in the car." Qin Lan replied gently.
At present, Lu Ning has merged the investment in Lujiazui x4-2 plot, shopping complex and Wang's real estate into Lu's investment company. Zi became a star in the investment industry in Shanghai.
Only Qin Lan, the president, has become a frequent visitor under the spotlight at this time. After all, it is really enviable and admirable to control such a huge investment company. As for Qin Lan's background, it is also the object of gossip.
Chapter 267 Jiaotong University School of Medicine
On Friday morning, Lu Ning received a call from Wang Huaide.
"Xiao Ning, are you free tonight?" Wang Huaide seemed to be in a good mood on the phone, speaking with joy.
"Are you free, Uncle Grandpa, Grandpa Third Uncle is here." Lu Ning asked with a smile.
"Hey, boy, I can't hide anything from you. Your third uncle and grandpa took a plane at noon and arrived in Shanghai in the afternoon. When talking on the phone, I asked you if you were free. I thought we might as well have dinner together."
"Okay, I'll be the host in the evening, if possible in the afternoon, let's go to the airport to meet Grandpa Third Uncle together."
Lu Ning has been very free these two days, with nothing to do all day long. The progress of the acquisition of GR Group is gratifying. The Lu consortium has just started contacting BMW, and has just shown its interest in acquiring GR Group.
Let the BMW company be overjoyed, wishing to get rid of the burden of the GR Group as soon as possible. When negotiating, BMW company was careful not to sell the main core technology. For the whole industry, it was a huge turning point, after all, the Lu's consortium is too rich.
It is BMW's only strategy not to allow Lu's consortium to obtain core technology so easily, and everything else is easy to talk about.
However, this point is not a problem at all for the negotiation. Lu Ning has already given instructions that they do not need these technologies at all. Therefore, in this point, it is not an obstacle at all. On the contrary, it becomes a team desperately A good reason for the low price.
You see, we bought and acquired the GR Group, but did not give the core technology, so we have to figure it out on our own to make cars.
Moreover, the debts of the acquisition of the GR Group are obvious to all. The debts are high, and the English government is notoriously protective. It protects the workers so well, so what is our Lu consortium planning?When we are doing good deeds?
I'm in a hurry, don't buy it at worst, there are many loss-making car companies, and it's not just the acquisition of GR Group.
Negotiations stopped for a day, and BMW actively approached the door the next day. As long as we don't talk about technology, everything is easy to talk about, isn't it just the price, let's make a concession, how about 2000 million pounds?The whole price is very reasonable.
In the end, one of the vice presidents of the BMW company directly turned his nose upside down, hehe, do you really think that the people in our Lu consortium are stupid and have a lot of money? 2000 million pounds, it seems like a bargain.
Then, the negotiating team released rumors that they were going to contact England's Jaguar brand and Land Rover brand. They are all loss-making companies anyway, and their brands are still strong, much better than the GR Group.
If it's an ordinary group, BMW really doesn't believe it if they play this trick. After all, the value of the GR group is more than a little bit worse than that of Jaguar and Land Rover.
However, it's hard to say anything about the rich and powerful Lu's consortium. If they have enough money, if they really don't want to buy the GR Group to test the waters and go directly to big projects, I can't just stare blankly.
BMW, which acquired the GR Group, is losing money every year and has been subsidized continuously to barely maintain the basic operation of the GR Group.
That is to say, every day the gr group exists, the group will lose one day of money.
Now, the news that the Lu's consortium is planning to acquire Jaguar and Land Rover has spread so clearly that even the top management of Jaguar and Lu Ning have openly said that the Lu's consortium is welcome to discuss specific matters.
Anyway, these two brands have been losing money, and some people like them, and the executives are eager to sell them.
Now, BMW really panicked, begging Lu's team to sit back on the negotiating table again in a low voice. As for the price, what price can you say.
In the end, the Lu's consortium was really ruthless, directly asking for 1000 million dollars, and it was still in US dollars. When BMW's vice president heard it, he almost scolded her.
You, the Lu family, are deceiving people too much, you treat us as "legends", don't you?Return a knife 999!Is there anyone who bargains like this?
