Chapter 684 German Infernal Affairs

The phone was connected, on speakerphone, and recording simultaneously.

The next moment, Li Shan's voice came from the phone.

"Mr. Yao, Mr. Wiedeking, the president of Porsche, has called. We have confirmed the identity of the other party. There is no problem with his identity. Do you need to get through the phone?"

"Okay, Sister Shan, please take the phone over. I'd like to hear what bargaining chips Porsche can offer?"

Yao Yuan said with a smile.

"Got it, I'll get through the other party's phone right away"

Li Shan responded.

In a moment, she had answered the phone call from the president of Porsche.

Immediately afterwards, a rich man's voice came from the phone.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Yao Yuan, I am Wiederkin, the current president of Porsche Group. Nice to meet you and talk to you."

The other person spoke English, and it was British English, with a Cockney accent.

Yao Yuan heard it very clearly, but did not respond to the other party immediately.

Instead, he waited for Jiang Meihui to finish translating, then he copied the correct Mandarin and said:

"Good morning, Mr. Wiedeking, I am Yao Yuan from Hong Kong Jiuye Investment Group. I am also very happy to meet you."

"I have been well-known to the Porsche Group and you personally for a long time. I didn't expect you to take the initiative to call me. I am deeply honored."

At the same time as he said these words, Jiang Meihui also started interpreting at the same time.

After some false business talk, Wiedeking took the initiative to get to the point.

"Mr. Yao, according to our investigation, your Jiuye Investment Group currently holds 16% of the shares of Volkswagen. I wonder if you are willing to sell this part of the shares?"

"If you are willing to sell this stake, we at Porsche are willing to invest in acquiring these stakes. We can sit down and talk about the specific transaction method and price."

"I believe you also know that we at Porsche are in an acquisition war with Volkswagen and are preparing to acquire Volkswagen, but we didn't expect that your Jiuye Investment Group would get involved."

"Furthermore, you acted quickly and secretly, and unknowingly you have become the third largest shareholder of Volkswagen. In view of this, I called you and wanted to buy your shares in Volkswagen."

Yao Yuan chuckled softly, and then continued:

"Yes, Mr. Wiedeking, we do hold 16% of Volkswagen's shares. We are currently the third largest shareholder of Volkswagen and have corresponding voting rights."

"We at Jiuye Investment Group purchased Volkswagen shares for investment income, not to control Volkswagen, which is different from your purpose at Porsche."

"In this case, as long as the offer satisfies us, of course we are willing to sell the shares of Volkswagen we hold. As for who we sell to, it depends on who gives the higher offer."

"Since Porsche wants to acquire this stake, I would like to hear what kind of offer you will make? If the offer satisfies me, of course I am willing to make a deal with you."

After the words fell, Wiedeking on the other end of the phone was silent.

After thinking for a moment, he responded.

"Mr. Yao, since you are willing to sell this part of Volkswagen's equity, we must discuss it."

"How about we make an appointment to meet and talk? We can rush to Hong Kong Island as soon as possible."

Yao Yuan instantly understood what this German guy had in mind.

It’s nothing more than a drag-and-drop tactic. First find a way to kick out the Lower Saxony state government, and then slowly bargain!

With the time of negotiation, they can use various means to find ways to obtain this part of the equity and quickly sweep away the remaining stocks in the market.

Knowing this, how could Yao Yuan let his conspiracy succeed.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wiedeking, I'm afraid you need to make a decision immediately and make an acquisition offer. There is no time to hesitate."

"Someone has contacted us now and wants to acquire this part of the public equity, but we have not yet negotiated the acquisition price."

"But the representative of the other party said that they will consider the quotation we gave and will give a reply later, so you have to make a decision as soon as possible and don't wait until later."

When introducing the situation, he did not mention the Saxony state government.

However, Wiedeking on the other end of the phone knew exactly who his competitor was.

After a moment of silence, Wiedeking said:

"Okay, I know that Model from the Lower Saxony State Government has gone to Hong Kong Island. He should be looking for you to acquire this part of the public equity you hold."

"But have you ever thought that the state government he represents may not be able to spend so much money to complete the acquisition? You know, it is a heavyweight acquisition worth tens of billions of euros."

"If you reach a purchase agreement with the Lower Saxony state government, how they pay is a big problem. They may use public power and government influence to issue you an IOU and extend the payment time."

Sure enough, the trap is here!

If Yao Yuanshun continues to talk about this, he will fall into a trap, and Porsche can make a fuss about it.

Turn around and go to the EU to sue the Lower Saxony state government for abusing public power and violating the principles of fair trade and competition, and let the court reject the equity transaction!

Furthermore, it is even possible to sue to freeze the voting rights of this part of the shares, lowering the upper limit of direct control of the public.

From the previous requirement of holding 75% of the shares, it has been reduced to about 50%.

In this way, it will be much easier for Porsche to win over Volkswagen, without having to fight hard to acquire 75% of the shares.

Unfortunately, Yao Yuan had already seen through this trap.

He didn't respond, but continued to listen with a smile.

As a result, Wiedeking on the other end of the phone was a little embarrassed.

He kept talking for a long time, but didn't hear even a um.

After the words fell, the phone suddenly became quiet.

Faced with this situation, Wiedeking understood instantly.

This trick is useless, there is no way to deceive Yao Yuan on the other end of the phone!

Helpless, he could only change his tactics.

"Mr. Yao, in order to successfully acquire this part of the public equity from you, we can provide two options."

"The first option is that we are willing to acquire the public equity held by you at a premium of 20%. With the leverage you increase, the investment income can be directly doubled."

"The second option is that we can release part of the Porsche equity in exchange for the part of the Volkswagen equity you hold, with a transaction premium of 10%."

"Once this transaction is completed, Jiuye Investment Group will become the third largest shareholder of Porsche. When Porsche annexes Volkswagen, this shareholding will definitely increase a lot."

I finally showed my chips, but I was too stingy!

Yao Yuan's eyes flashed with disdain and he responded with a smile.

"Mr. Wiedeking, your offer is somewhat attractive, but not enough to impress me."

"You can listen to my asking price. If you want to acquire this part of the public equity in my hands, you need a premium of 150%."

"Based on the current Volkswagen stock price, a premium of 150% is 500 euros per share. I do not accept share exchange at this stage."

"As things stand, Volkswagen stock is more valuable and has greater appreciation potential than Porsche stock."

"One more thing, I don't plan to sell out all the stocks at once. I will only sell 10% in the first wave and keep 6%. We will see the situation later."

Before he finished speaking, Wiedeking on the other end of the phone exploded.

"What, a premium of 150%, did I hear correctly? Isn't the price you quoted to the Lower Saxony government a premium of 100%?"

"Why is it 150% when it comes to us? Isn't this a price hike? It's impossible for us to accept such a high premium."

Hearing this, Yao Yuan suddenly chuckled.

With these few words alone, he was 100% sure.

Among the Germans who attended the meeting in the morning, there was Porsche's spy.

Because of this, Porsche will know the price it offers immediately.

This is an infernal affair among Germans, and Yao Yuan doesn't care.

What he cares about is how much money he can make from these rare public stocks in his hands!

Wiedeking on the other end of the phone didn't know that the spy placement had been exposed, and was still chattering.

"Even if we accept this amazing offer, but you only sell 10% of the shares, we will not be able to achieve the goal of directly controlling the public."

"The remaining 6% equity in your hands, plus the 20.1% equity held by the Saxony state government, already exceeds 25%."

"In that case, even if we buy all the public shares on the market, we will still not be able to achieve the 75% direct holding target."

Yao Yuan smiled softly and said softly:

"You don't have to worry about this, Mr. Wiedeking. When Volkswagen's stock rises to a certain height, we will release the remaining 6% of the stock."

"At that time, it depends on whether you can act quickly enough!"

"Ah! Then wouldn't we have to be cut again?"

Wiedeking exclaimed, so angry that he was probably about to smoke.

Jiang Meihui, who was in charge of translating, couldn't help but chuckle.
