The Most Powerful Tycoon Reborn In Xiangjiang

Chapter 472 Crazy Acquisition (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

Zheng Shiyong's plane arrived in Michigan, North America, and then drove to Dearborn, the headquarters of Ford Motor.

What made Zheng Shiyong dissatisfied was that when he arrived here and checked into the hotel and contacted Ford II, the president of Ford Motor, the other party didn't meet him immediately?

This made Zheng Shiyong very unhappy.

But there is no way, Hyundai is still just a child, without the help of Ford, Hyundai can't even learn to walk, so Zheng Shiyong can only choose to passively accept Ford's contempt.

But just after Zheng Shiyong comforted himself, he received a call from his nephew Zheng Mengxian.

Second Uncle, are you going out at the hotel now?

Zheng Mengxian's voice on the phone was a little anxious.

Zheng Shiyong knew that Zheng Mengxian was his brother's most beloved son. Although he didn't like it in his heart, he still said: I won't go out, but how do you know I'm here and know the phone number?

Zheng Mengxian did not answer Zheng Shiyong's question, but directly said: I will go to find you immediately!

Zheng Shiyong didn't want to see this nephew, he just said: I'm here to work, you just study hard at school!

Zheng Mengxian said on the phone: I have something important to tell my second uncle!

Zheng Shiyong had no choice but to agree with Zheng Mengxian's words.

In less than ten minutes, Zheng Mengxian came to Zheng Shiyong's room. After seeing Zheng Mengxian, Zheng Shiyong asked a little strangely: Why are you so fast?

Jung Mong-heon replied, I live here too.

What are you doing here? Your father asked you to come here? Zheng Shiyong was a little curious about Zheng Mengxian's answer.

Zheng Mongxian did not answer Zheng Shiyong's question, but asked directly: Second uncle, have you contacted Ford II of Ford Motor? Did they agree to meet you?

Zheng Shiyong didn't want to say that Ford II didn't see anything about him, so he said to his nephew: This is a business matter, why don't you tell me why you came here?

Although Zheng Shiyong didn't give a positive answer, in fact, Zheng Mengxian already knew the answer when it fell into Zheng Mengxian's ears.

It's broken, are the rumors in the market true?

At this time, Zheng Mengxian's expression was a little frightened.

Seeing Zheng Mengxian's expression, Zheng Shiyong finally understood the seriousness of the matter, looked at his nephew and asked, What happened?

Zheng Mengxian said earnestly: In the past two days, there have been rumors that someone has made a move on Ford Motor's stock and is buying Ford Motor's stock aggressively!

Hearing the news, Zheng Shiyong didn't look nervous anymore, and said with a smile: What did I think it was? It turned out to be this kind of thing. Mengxian, you are still young, and you don't understand some things!

Although Zheng Mengxian was a little anxious, he still asked Zheng Shiyong: Second Uncle, what do you mean?

Zheng Shiyong said proudly: Ford Motor is exercising the strategy of AB shares, B shares are firmly in the hands of the Ford family, B shares own 40% of Ford Motor's voting rights, that is to say, regardless of A shares No change in the market will change the Ford family's control over Ford Motor.

So you don't need to worry about these things.

Although Zheng Mengxian also knew about Ford Motor AB shares, but seeing Zheng Shiyong's calm appearance, he couldn't help but said: If the other party has enough A shares in their hands and convenes a board of directors to seek removal What about the rights to B shares?

Zheng Shiyong still said in a nonchalant manner: That's so easy. The entire A-share of Ford Motor is worth more than 3 billion U.S. dollars. If someone wants to buy it, they need to spend more cash than that. Looking at the world, which consortium can come up with so much cash?

After finishing speaking, Zheng Shiyong did not forget to add: Also, even if the other party really gets enough votes from the board of directors, this is an internal matter of Ford Motor and has nothing to do with us. I believe that no matter who controls Ford Motor It is impossible to ignore our modern cars, so don't worry!

Zheng Mengxian thought for a while, then said uncertainly: Is this really the case?

Of course it is! Zheng Shiyong said proudly.

At this time, Zheng Shiyong's previous dissatisfaction with Ford II was gone. If such a thing really happened, then it means that the other party is indeed doing important things, and he should not come to see him immediately.

.

Since Zheng Mengxian, a South Korean student who was still in school, knew about the fact that someone was buying shares in Ford Motor, it had naturally spread throughout the North American business community.

Especially on Wall Street, this incident caused a huge sensation.

It completely overshadowed the acquisition of DC and Marvel by Fantasy Comics before these two things.

Although DC and Marvel are the largest comic book companies in North America, they are too small and have insufficient influence.

Ford is different. It is the second largest automobile company in the United States. Although the automobile industry is currently in a slump due to the oil crisis, the title of the second largest automobile company in the United States is still enough to make many people think shocking.

Check, find out for me who is interested in Ford Motors. The other party is just optimistic about the future development of Ford Motors. They want to hold some shares of Ford Motors, or they have bigger ideas!

Wall Street Journal, Warren Phillips was sitting in his office at this time and was furious.

He has been in this very irritable state recently, just like the few days when a woman comes to relatives every month.

Irritable, cranky.

Now it suddenly broke out on Wall Street that someone was interested in the stock of Ford Motor, and their Wall Street Journal didn't even know who the interested person was and what the purpose of the other party was.

This is not acceptable to Warren Phillips!

Jack O'Brien said helplessly: No one knows exactly how this matter spread on Wall Street, but someone has already asked the major shareholders of Ford Motor, and recently someone has indeed raised it to them. The matter of buying Ford Motor stock.”

There is no need to doubt the authenticity of the matter!

Of course I know this. What I want to ask now is, who exactly wants to buy the shares of Ford Motor, and what is their real purpose?

Warren Phillips re-emphasizes his own problems.

Jack O'Brien could only say helplessly: There is no news about this, but someone analyzed it and said it was a mysterious consortium!

Warren Phillips wants to kick Jack O'Brien out of his office at this time, and the mysterious consortium also needs a name! .

Chu, the news of following your orders has spread on Wall Street!

Rockefeller Center, the headquarters of the North American armor library, and Chu Huan's office.

Jerry Kohlberg reported to Chu Huan the latest situation on Wall Street.

Chu Huan nodded in satisfaction, and said, Is Ford II doing anything?

Jerry Kohlberg said: Ford II has already called us. He already knows that we are acquiring shares in Ford Motor, so he proposed to meet with you.

Outsiders don't know who is buying the shares of Ford Motor, but Ford II, the president of Ford Motor, already knows that KKR, an emerging fund company on Wall Street, is operating this matter, and naturally knows who KKR represents .

Chu Huan smiled, and said: First disclose our acquisition plan, I want to shake Wall Street!

Jerry Kohlberg nodded and said: Then I will immediately notify Henry and George to sign a formal contract to buy and sell Ford Motor stock on behalf of North America and those shareholders of Ford Motor!

OK!

.

Every person in Wall Street has a question in their mind at this time, who is interested in the stock of Ford Motor, and what is the real purpose of the other party?

This doubt did not last too long!

Because this matter appeared in the newspaper today!

New York Times!

North American Jiaku has officially become the second largest shareholder of Ford Motor North America through stock market transactions and shareholder transactions, holding 22.82% of Ford Motor A shares!

Which company is North America's cosmetic library?

As soon as the news came out, the New York Times was sold out on Wall Street in an instant. Everyone was paying attention to this matter, but there was also a question in everyone's mind?

What kind of company is North America's nail library?

How can there be a sense of familiarity in the strangeness?

It was this slight sense of familiarity that quickly made people on Wall Street think of who North America was!

Chu Huan from Xiangjiang, established a branch in North America!

this.

After trying to understand the identity of North America's top library, not only did not make Wall Street people feel relaxed, but they had more doubts and surprises.

Why on earth is North America Jiaku buying Ford Motor stock?

What exactly are they trying to do?

Things are starting to develop in a direction that everyone can't understand!

Snapped!

In the office of Warren Phillips of the Wall Street Journal, there was a sound of smashing. Naturally, the only one who can do this kind of thing in Warren Philip's office is himself.

If yesterday's Warren Phillips was like a woman who came to relatives, then Warren Phillips now is like going out after visiting relatives, only to find that he forgot to wear protective measures, and the white skirt turned into a red skirt.

Anger reached its peak!

Warren Phillips would never have imagined that it would be Chu Huan who did this!

What's even more unexpected is that the New York Journal sent out the news ahead of itself. This is a slap in the face of the Wall Street Journal!

Then, the North American stock market opened, and the latest announcement about Ford Motor's equity allocation also came out!

All this shows that the New York Daily knew the news in advance from Chu Huan or the people who sold the Ford stock.

18 Broadway, New York, NYSE!

As the world's largest stock exchange, the daily flow of funds here is an astronomical figure.

It's also a very busy place.

The securities traders running back and forth with various bills, the phone ringing non-stop, and various data changes made everyone here feel as if they had been slapped with chicken blood.

But now, something has changed here!

There was a brief silence, which is not unheard of at the NYSE, and everyone understands that when something like this happens, it's when something big happens on the NYSE.

Because just now, someone shouted!

Take as many shares of Ford Motor as you want!

Just such a sentence, it shows one thing, North American Jiaku is going to do something about the entire A-share stock of Ford Motor!

This also made them lose even the last doubt!

Chu Huan from Xiangjiang, established Jiaku in North America, is about to officially acquire Ford Motor!

The news shocked the entire New York Stock Exchange, but they didn't react immediately.

No one thought that Jiaku, who had just arrived in North America, would take action against Ford, the giant company in North America, after acquiring Nike, DC, and Marvel one after another!

No wonder they were surprised!

These people are no strangers to Chu Huan because of the acquisitions of the North American Jiaku during this period and last year's Fortune report on Chu Huan.

Naturally, he also knew the scope of Chu Huan's business.

But no matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with the automobile industry!

wrong!

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted in the hall of the New York Stock Exchange.

Everyone looked at the man in unison. The man didn't play any language skills, but just shouted loudly.

Have you forgotten the battle between Chu Huan and the Hyundai Group that was reported earlier?

After hearing this sentence, everyone in the lobby of the New York Stock Exchange understood what the other party meant.

According to the company's operating conditions announced by Ford Motor, Ford Motor invested in South Korea's Hyundai Motor and is one of the major shareholders of the other party. At the same time, the most important thing is that the other party is also the technical support of Hyundai Motor.

Before, when the Wall Street Journal reported this matter, it once said that Chu Huan wanted to go to war with Hyundai Group. The group does not necessarily need the case of the Xiangjiang market.

Chu Huan's declaration of war is more like a kind of self-psychological comfort.

but now! ! ! ! !

Everyone understood where Chu Huan had the confidence to declare war on the Hyundai Group!

The Hyundai Group is huddled in South Korea, relying on the support of the South Korean government, Chu Huan has no way to do anything to the Hyundai Group in South Korea, but Chu Huan can directly grasp your lifeline and attack the famous Hyundai Ford Motor Company.

As long as Chu Huan has the absolute right to speak in Ford Motor, then Hyundai Motor, which still needs Ford Motor's technical support at this time, can only be obedient!

What a great deal!

When everyone wanted to understand Chu Huan's intentions, they couldn't help but sigh like this.

For such a war, Chu Huan has already paid 1 billion US dollars!

If this kind of generosity is not a big deal, then there is nothing like a big deal!

At the same time, it was also the first time that Chu Huan had a three-dimensional image in the hearts of these Wall Street elites, who must be retaliated against, ruthless and decisive, obeyed what he said, crazy, crazy, and in the end he was crazy!

Is it worth investing at least three or four billion U.S. dollars for such a war?

They are not Chu Huan, so they have no way to make this decision for Chu Huan, but everyone understands that this time, Wall Street is buzzing!

It's not because of Chu Huan's declaration of war with Hyundai Group, but because of Chu Huan's acquisition of Ford Motor, whether he can succeed or not.

Everyone on Wall Street knows that Ford Motor adheres to the AB stock rule, that is to say, if you want to surpass the Ford family and become the talker of Ford Motor, then there is only one way to get all the A shares!

Then the affected pond fish of the Ford family will definitely not give in so easily, and it is not certain who will win in the end.

More importantly, does Chu Huan have so much money in his hands?

Thinking of this, everyone in the New York Stock Exchange felt a surge of enthusiasm, wanting to see what will happen next? .

Dearborn, Michigan, inside the Hilton Hotel!

Zheng Shiyong, Zheng Mengxian, the uncle and nephew, finally received the news at around ten o'clock this morning.

The two uncles and nephews sat there without speaking for a long time. No one thought that the development of the matter would be like this?

Zheng Shiyong said convincingly before that no matter who buys Ford Motor, they will not ignore their cooperation with Hyundai Motor, but now it sounds like a joke.

It is true that no matter who buys Ford Motor, it will not affect the cooperation between Ford Motor and Hyundai Motor, but there is only one exception.

This person was something they had never thought of before - Chu Huan!

Is this Chu Huan crazy? Zheng Shiyong sat there and couldn't help saying: In order to get angry with our Hyundai Group, you actually want to buy Ford Motor?

Zheng Mengxian murmured: I don't know if he is crazy or not, but I want to know where he got the confidence to buy Ford Motor?

If it is said that it is a large North American consortium or a joint consortium that did this, I believe it, but why should Chu Huan?

Does he have so much money?

No! Zheng Shiyong said immediately: He didn't have it, absolutely impossible. This is three or four billion dollars. How could he have so much cash?

If Chu Huan didn't have one, why would he do it now? Zheng Mengxian said incomprehensibly, Is it just to scare us?

Zheng Shiyong shook his head and said, This is a lunatic!

He didn't know Chu Huan's purpose for doing this, but he thought that Chu Huan who did this was a lunatic.

Zheng Mengxian didn't want to discuss this question that they didn't know the answer to, so he hurriedly said: Second Uncle, this matter should be notified to my father immediately, and then you have to contact Ford II of Ford Motor.

As the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend. Now that Chu Huan wants to buy Ford, he has already placed himself on the opposite side of the Ford family. As long as we unite, no matter what method Chu Huan uses, we will be defeated in the end. sink sand.

Zheng Shiyong nodded immediately and said, That's right, that's the reason. I'll call your father first!

According to the time difference, it is already past 11:00 p.m. in Seoul, and Zheng Zhouyong is already lying in bed and sleeping.

But the harsh sound of the phone in the room woke up Zheng Zhouyong, and Zheng Zhouyong, who was very dissatisfied, answered the phone.

who?

The tone of Zheng Zhouyong who was woken up naturally couldn't be better.

Brother, it's me, Zheng Shiyong, something big happened in North America! Zheng Shiyong hurriedly told Zheng Zhouyong what happened in North America on the phone.

Zheng Zhouyong, who was originally dissatisfied because of being woken up, immediately woke up after listening to Zheng Shiyong's words.

Chu Huan is courting death!

Jeong Joo-young preached directly on the phone.

With his financial resources, how could he win Ford Motors? Fortune called him the richest man in Hong Kong and the richest Chinese. Does he really think he has tens of billions of dollars in cash?

Want to Buy a Ford Motor?

It was an international joke!

After complaining about Chu Huan, Zheng Zhouyong gave the same suggestion as Zheng Mengxian: You immediately contact Ford II of Ford Motor, saying that our Hyundai Group and the Ford family will always stand on the same front. If they need help, our Hyundai Group Offered $50 million in support!

It can only be 50 million US dollars.

As a heavy industry group at this time, Hyundai Group has a very high market value and a market value of several billion dollars, but as Zheng Zhouyong just commented on Chu Huan, that is only the company's market value, not the cash they can really deploy.

Being able to come up with 50 million US dollars is already the limit of Hyundai Group.

Now the entire Hyundai Group is a place to spend money.

The three core companies under the Hyundai Group are Hyundai Construction, Hyundai Motor, and Hyundai Heavy Industries.

Hyundai Construction's funds are now all invested in the international project of Jubail Industrial Port in Saudi Arabia. Hyundai Motor's pony car has finally been launched, but the funds have not been returned. At the same time, they still have many difficulties that have not been overcome. It also requires a lot of cash, and Hyundai Heavy Industries just started construction last year, and it is impossible to come up with cash.

There is also one thing that outsiders don't know.

In other places, a large conglomerate with healthy operations should have a healthy loan rate of about 30% of the asset value, and South Korea, a special country, is controlled by a special chaebol.

The loan ratio of the chaebols may have reached 100%, 200%, the specific amount, I am afraid only they know.

But there is a data that is public, that is, the loan rate of South Korea's manufacturing industry is as high as 400%!

That's why some people say that the chaebols in South Korea are actually vampires attached to South Korea.

After Zheng Shiyong got his brother's answer, he immediately said: I see, I will contact Ford II immediately.

Zheng Zhouyong entrusted: Remember to be polite when you meet Ford II!

Zheng Zhouyong knew that when his younger brother arrived in Michigan yesterday, he did not see Ford II immediately. At that time, Zheng Zhouyong and Zheng Shiyong were both angry and puzzled. Why didn't the other party see Zheng Shiyong?

Now they get it!

Ford II must have known in advance that Chu Huan was buying Ford Motor stock.

Chu Huan had no enmity with Ford Motor, why did he suddenly attack Ford Motor?

There is only one reason, and that is because of Hyundai Group!

In other words, if there was no grievance between Hyundai Group and Chu Huan, Chu Huan's acquisition of Ford Motor would not have happened this time.

It is strange that Ford II can have a good face towards Hyundai Group after making a pond fish that has been affected!

Zheng Shiyong held the phone and nodded, Understood!

The two brothers hung up the phone.

Zheng Shiyong then called Ford II's office again, and it was Ford II's secretary who answered the phone. After knowing that the caller was Zheng Shiyong, the president of Hyundai Motor, Ford II's secretary told Zheng Shiyong that their The president is very busy now, I don't have time to see him!

Sure enough, he was angry!

After Zheng Shiyong scolded Chu Huan secretly, he immediately expressed his willingness to provide 50 million US dollars of support to Ford II.

With this support, Ford II was finally willing to see Zheng Shiyong.

Mengxian, come with me to see Mr. Ford II! After hanging up the phone, Zheng Shiyong preached to Zheng Mengxian.

Zheng Mengxian nodded.

.

New York, Rockefeller Center, the headquarters of North America, Chu Huan's office.

Jerry Kohlberg was talking to Chu Huan about Wall Street's reaction to this incident, as well as Ford II's reaction.

The reaction from Wall Street now is that we don't have much hope for our acquisition of Ford Motor, mainly focusing on the two aspects of the B shares controlled by the Ford family and whether our cash is sufficient.

Chu Huan nodded. Chu Huan was not surprised by Wall Street's reaction at all. After all, KKR, which was in charge of buying Ford Motor for North America, said that North America would buy Ford's shares in cash.

That's nearly four billion dollars in expenditures, and no one thought the North American pool would be able to come up with that much cash.

More people think that our acquisition this time is mainly to beat Ford Motor, and as Ford Motor, restrain the development of Hyundai Motor.

Hehe! Chu Huan chuckled, and said, What they thought was not wrong, but the result does not mean that the process must be as they thought.

Then Chu Huan looked at Jerry Kohlberg and said, What's going on with Ford II?

Prior to this, Ford II had already known through the shareholders and securities companies contacted by KKR that it was Chu Huan who bought the shares of Ford Motor.

Before that, he already wanted Jerry Kohlberg to let him meet Chu Huan.

Now that Chu Huan's task of acquiring some stocks has been completed, there will definitely be new moves on Ford II's side.

The other party has already called us. He wanted to meet you before, but now he didn't propose to meet you. He just asked me to tell you that Ford Motor does not accept any threats!

Jerry Kohlberg preaches to Chu Huan.

Everyone else figured it out. Chu Huan bought shares in Ford Motor this time for Hyundai Motor, which is cooperating with Ford Motor.

Before the matter was made public, Ford II would negotiate with Chu Huan, but now that the matter has been made public, if Ford II meets and negotiates with Chu Huan at this time, and it falls into the eyes of outsiders, it means that Ford II has given in to Chu Huan !
