Rebirth in 1984: Beginning with Han Card Development

What happens to the future when humanity loses its imagination?

That slogan created a sensation during the summer of 1984.

Back then, computers couldn't support Chinese input and co...

Chapter 242 Tiangong Mercedes-Benz Co., Ltd.

"The situation is becoming increasingly dire. Daimler can no longer wait, or it will miss the opportunity!" Daimler CEO Brunt Charles warned at the board meeting.

Tiangong Technology's flirting with BMW and Volkswagen has already threatened Daimler. Who knows, one day you might wake up to find that they've already tied the knot.

With the rise of the internet and the resurgence of mainland China, the importance of Wujiang Group has become increasingly prominent.

After careful consideration, Daimler's shareholders finally agreed to Tiangong Technology's request to transfer 30% of its shares to Tiangong Technology.

However, Tiangong Technology will spend $10 billion to buy these shares.

Upon learning the news, Fan Boming immediately restarted negotiations with Daimler.

“Money is not a problem; we can offer $10 billion, but a portion of our technology must be transferred to Tiangong Technology. In addition, when building a joint venture in mainland China, Daimler must contribute its best technology, rather than simply throwing out some outdated technology into the joint venture.”

Brent Charles knew that Tiangong Technology Company was not easily fooled, so he immediately nodded and said, "Of course, no problem. In order to open up the Chinese market, Daimler will naturally go all out!"

...

Daimler demonstrated considerable sincerity this time, and the negotiations proceeded smoothly. Tiangong Technology obtained the technology and equity it needed, while Daimler received funding and strong support from Wujiang Group, including online and offline promotion, product placement in games and films, and access to more sales channels…

For example, with the financial resources of the Wujiang Group, the Wujiang 4S store project can be launched and quickly spread all over the world.

After the start of autumn, Fan Boming, representing Tiangong Technology Co., Ltd., signed a series of agreements with Daimler AG, officially acquiring shares in Daimler AG and establishing "Tiangong Mercedes-Benz Co., Ltd." to build a factory in mainland China to produce Mercedes-Benz cars, trucks and buses, with an annual production capacity of no less than 300,000 vehicles.

The signing of the agreement caused a sensation throughout Europe and the world.

The powerful alliance between Daimler and Wujiang Group will reshape the global automotive market landscape.

...

Domestic automakers were stunned. They were still working hard to establish joint ventures with foreign automakers, exchanging market access for technology.

Tiangong Technology, a subsidiary of Wujiang Group, directly invested in Daimler, becoming its largest shareholder with a 30% stake, which is almost enough to control the company.

In fact, if Zhao Ye wanted to become the chairman of Daimler, it was entirely possible for him to do so.

Among business leaders worldwide, Zhao Ye is a legend.

If Zhao Ye were to become the chairman of Daimler, the company's stock price would at least double.

Which major global investment institution doesn't have a positive outlook on Zhao Ye? It's believed that under Zhao Ye's leadership, Daimler will surely take off rapidly!

Domestic media have been paying close attention to Tiangong Technology's activities in Europe.

At this moment, the Chinese internet is in a state of jubilation, with netizens celebrating Tiangong Technology's successful acquisition of a stake in Daimler and exclaiming how awesome it is.

Many netizens also expressed that although the Mercedes-Benz W14 is imposing, they can't afford it and hope that Tiangong Technology Company can launch some cars for the poor to take care of them.

Indeed, the car companies that Tiangong Technology acquired in Europe this time all belong to the luxury car series, which are generally unaffordable for ordinary people.

However, the cars developed by Tiangong Technology are definitely good value for money, suitable for ordinary people, and directly comparable to Dajinbei and Wuling Hongguang. They are suitable for both commercial and passenger use, and can carry both goods and people, making them quite suitable for China's national conditions.

Currently, this product is still under development.

It is likely that after absorbing and digesting Daimler's technology, the development speed of this car will be accelerated.

...

Domestic companies were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment after seeing Tiangong Technology acquire a stake in Daimler.

Lenovo Chairman Liu Chuanzhi looked at the newspaper with a displeased expression.

Today, the gap between Lenovo and Wujiang Group has widened considerably, becoming as wide as a chasm.

Back then, Lenovo also made its fortune by relying on Chinese character cards, but now it barely survives by selling assembled computers and making knock-off MP3 players. How tragic!

"If Zhou Yu was born, why was Zhuge Liang also born?"

"If it weren't for Zhao Ye, all the glory and success of Wujiang Group should belong to Lenovo!"

Liu Chuanzhi couldn't help but feel even more jealous of Zhao Ye.

But they couldn't do anything about Zhao Ye.

Lenovo is not even qualified to be a competitor of Wujiang Group.

This feeling of being completely ignored is particularly frustrating.

Liu Chuanzhi wanted to compete with Wujiang Group in everything. Tiangong Technology entered the automotive industry, and Liu Chuanzhi also wanted Lenovo to enter the automotive industry. However, the threshold for the automotive industry was too high, which was simply too difficult for Lenovo, a company with almost zero technological content...

Meanwhile, inside a company called "Geely" in Zhejiang, the boss, Li Shufu, read the newspaper with an excited and envious expression.

He founded Geely in 1986, starting his entrepreneurial journey by manufacturing refrigerators and refrigerator parts. He then entered the motorcycle manufacturing industry in 1993. However, his biggest dream was to build cars. This year, Li Shufu, whose motorcycle business was booming, made a surprising decision: to "build cars." Initially, despite not obtaining permission from the relevant authorities, Li Shufu still acquired 850 acres of land in Linhai City, using the guise of motorcycle manufacturing to build the Geely "Haoqing Automobile Industrial Park."

I saw that Tiangong Technology, a subsidiary of Wujiang Group, has invested in Daimler.

Li Shufu then conceived the idea of ​​collaborating with Tiangong Technology to establish a joint venture automobile factory.
