Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

It turns out that Weisenberg is firmly opposed to selling the entire equity of Saab Automobile Company, and his real purpose is to take this opportunity to part ways with Saab Automobile...

Since being acquired by Saab Group, while Scania has obtained some of the power integration technologies they want, it has also lost a lot of autonomy and entered a development bottleneck period.

Weisenberg has been looking for the right opportunity to separate Scania from Saab Automobile. Yang Mo understands Weisenberg's thoughts. What eagle with stiff wings doesn't want to fly alone?

Yang Mo came to visit for the third time, and Weisenberg finally gave him face and did not invite him to the door again.

"Mr. Weisenberg, based on your concerns and demands, Zhiyuan Group has readjusted the Saab Automobile acquisition plan!" After a brief greeting, Yang Mo said with a smile.

"What plan?" Weisenberg asked calmly. He didn't think Yang Mo could come up with any plan that would impress him.

Yang Mo continued: "After Zhiyuan Group completes the overall acquisition of Saab Automobile, it will spin off Scania's heavy truck and bus business. You will continue to be responsible for Scania's business, and the group will provide Scania with A large amount of development funds will be used for technology research and development and overseas mergers and acquisitions to enhance Scania’s technology and production capacity. At the same time, Zhiyuan’s customer network in the field of mining resources will be used to help Scania open up sales channels..."

"Are you telling the truth?" Weisenberg asked suspiciously.

Yang Mo chuckled and said: "You can go around the world and ask, which one of Zhiyuan's companies has not received strong support from the group headquarters? If Mr. Weisenberg is really worried, we can sign another supplementary agreement! "

Weisenberg thought for a while and then said: "Mr. Yang, the commitment you have made and your willingness to sign the supplementary agreement, are there any additional requirements?"

Yang Mo nodded and said: "It's not an additional requirement! Scania's core management and technical backbones need to sign a non-competition agreement with Zhiyuan Group. Of course, we will also provide equity incentives in return... …”

After Tongwisenberg's work, the negotiations progressed rapidly. A third-party agency provided an asset audit and evaluation report totaling 7.8 million, and Zhiyuan Group officially took over Saab Automobile.

After the signing was completed, Yang Mo left Qian Ning to handle the handover procedures, and flew to Yanjing without stopping.

Development Planning Department, Ministry of Machinery Industry.

He Jianye frowned and said: "Old Geng, can you sit down and rest for a while? You are swinging around like this, making me dizzy!"

"Director He, will Zhiyuan Group really cooperate with FAW?" Geng Jie stopped and asked.

"You've asked me this question three times! You're not a young man anymore, can you be more steady?" He Jianye couldn't help but laugh when he saw Geng Jie's distracted look.

Geng Jie smiled bitterly and said: "Director He, can I not be in a hurry? The West German Volkswagen's joint venture plant in Donghai has successively rolled out 500 cars, and the joint venture plants of American Jeep and French Peugeot in Yanjing and Yangcheng are about to enter. Mass production, but FAW, as the eldest son of the Republic, has achieved nothing so far. After assembling [-] cars for Audi last year, there has been no progress!"

"You still have the nerve to say that! With your level of assembly skills, can you expect anything further?" He Jianye asked rhetorically.

Geng Jie sighed and said: "Director He, we admit that our skills are inferior to others, but we can't blame us entirely. The FAW sedan production line has been stopped for six years. There must be a process to resume production, right? The workers and masters have this in their hearts. I’m holding my breath! As long as we are given another chance, we will be brave enough to make the best car in China!"

"How are the talks about Chrysler's production lines and technology transfer going?" He Jianye suddenly asked.

"Don't mention it, the Americans are so bully. We have already introduced their 488 2.2-liter engine production line in the pilot project of 600 high-end cars that we have prepared. We were told at the time that the next time we introduce complete vehicle technology, we will be given Discount, who knew that during the technology transfer of the Dodge [-] vehicle, the price started from the ground up, and the asking price suddenly increased several times!" Geng Jie said angrily.

He Jianye also sighed in frustration and said: "There is no way, who makes our skills inferior to others? Let's beg them! It's not just you. Vice Minister Gao made a special trip to Chrysler's headquarters. Their president refused to even meet and sent a deputy. Just deal with it, there’s a 30-minute time limit!”

Geng Jie also said solemnly: "These Americans have no faith at all. One day our own automobile industry will reach the world's advanced level..."

"When have they ever spoken of faith? Director He, long time no see! This must be Factory Director Geng, right?" Before Geng Jie could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a voice.

He Jianye stood up quickly, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang, it's been several years since I last saw you. I didn't expect that you Zhiyuan would cause such a big scene now. Your future life is terrible!"

"It's just good luck!" Yang Mo chuckled.

"You came directly from the airport, right? Didn't you go back to the hotel to get jet lag?" He Jianye said with a smile.

Yang Mo nodded and said: "Director He summoned me, how dare I neglect it? I rushed here as soon as I got off the plane!"

He Jianye joked to Geng Jienu who was standing aside: "You can't blame me for not being considerate of your tiredness from the journey. This factory director Geng is an impatient person and stayed in my office early in the morning..."

"Director Geng, you don't know that as soon as I put down my pen after signing the contract, I was so excited that I forgot about the time difference. A phone call woke up Director He from his dream. Director He immediately thought of you FAW... Yang Mo turned to look at Geng Jie and smiled.

Geng Jie also smiled quickly and said: "I heard Director He say a lot about Mr. Yang's deeds, and I have always heard that Director He was a bit exaggerated. When I saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation!"

"Old Geng, why didn't I realize you were so good at flattering me before?" He Jianye teased with a smile.

Geng Jie secretly murmured in his heart: As long as Zhiyuan Group is willing to transfer the complete vehicle technology to us, let alone flattering, you can let me sing for him! "

After so many years of hard work in the automotive industry, Geng Jie understands better than anyone else that China's automotive industry lags behind the world. If it wants to develop, it must introduce and absorb foreign advanced high-end car production technology and integrate it through assembly and production. Digest and absorb, and at the same time drive the domestic automobile industry chain through the localization process, and then revive national brands. There is no future for building cars behind closed doors!

After a brief exchange of greetings, Yang Mo said: "You may not know much about the Saab Automobile Company wholly owned by Zhiyuan Group, but Director Geng should have heard that 10 Scanias imported from the mainland more than 500 years ago -Vabis lt76-110 heavy-duty truck is a product of Saab Automobile Company..."
