After discussing more detailed cooperation methods with the two founders of AMG.
I agree with AMG keeping its headquarters in West Germany. This area will still serve as a modification and R&D base.
Xing Baohua, acting as the representative, negotiated the shareholding with the other party, and incidentally also represented Wei Laisong's side.
Wei Laisong, therefore, was determined to control the shares. Even if he gave away half, it would still be 50% of the shares, leaving the remaining 50% to be divided between Huahong and AMG.
If Xing Baohua invests in AMG technology, he'll be unwilling to work for them if he offers too little, and if he offers too much, he'll feel like he's wasted his time.
After much back and forth, Xing Baohua, representing Huahong, ultimately secured 31% of the shares.
The remaining 19% goes to AMG; I don't know how they calculated that percentage.
The rest will be left to the lawyers to draft a letter of intent. A formal signing ceremony will later be held in China for the three companies.
AMG helped with the purchase of the production lines and such; Xing Baohua just had to pay for them.
I must say, having them help with the purchase saved me a lot of trouble.
There's a behemoth car company right here. I don't know how they negotiated it, but they actually spent over six million to acquire three production lines from the 1940s.
Do you still have items from the 1940s? There must have been war back then! Were they not melted down and remelted after the defeat?
If AMG hadn't assured her there wouldn't be a problem, Xing Baohua really wouldn't have wanted it.
Although it was shipped to China under the guise of scrap metal recycling, upon closer inspection, it really is just scrap metal!
Xing Baohua didn't know if he had suffered a loss, but he had to give it a try!
Many times, this is how our money goes down the drain.
The order was handled by AMG, who made the purchases and shipped the goods.
Meanwhile, Xing Baohua called Wei Laisong from the hotel, urging him to hurry up, as he had already purchased engine and production line technologies in West Germany.
Wei Laisong was also completely bewildered.
He was thinking to himself, "So fast?"
At the same time, I feel a little gratified; money talks, and you can buy anything quickly.
I'm curious about which West German car company Xing Baohua is collaborating with. I'm genuinely hoping it's a major brand or large corporation.
So he asked, "What kind of company is the other party?"
Xing Baohua stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the buildings on the opposite bank of the river.
Especially the triangular circle.
"Mercedes-Benz, which we commonly call the Tiger Head Mercedes-Benz."
Before Xing Baohua could finish speaking, Wei Laisong became excited.
Perhaps the international call signal was poor and there was a slight delay, but Wei Laisong still heard Tigerhead Ben and excitedly asked Xing Baohua to repeat it.
"Good, good, good." After confirming that Xing Baohua had finished speaking, Wei Laisong said "good" three times in a row, never letting Xing Baohua finish speaking.
He said excitedly, "I'll report to my superiors immediately. When are you coming back? Be sure to let me know in advance! I'll pick you up from the airport myself."
He hung up the phone after saying that, but before Xing Baohua could finish speaking, he heard a busy tone on the line.
"The modification and repair shop next to Mercedes-Benz." He hung up the phone after saying that.
I wonder how Wei Laisong will react when he finds out it's a repair shop. Will his heart be able to handle it?
Anyway, AMG is considered very powerful by professionals. Otherwise, Mercedes-AMG wouldn't have been added to their brand name after acquiring the W14.
The price they sell for isn't cheap either.
When you come to Mercedes-Benz's headquarters, you should definitely take a tour.
The entrance fee is not cheap, 15 marks per ticket.
He took photos with many historical car models, and even Xing Baohua went up to experience what it was like to drive a vintage car.
It's really just a bit of nostalgia.
Of course, this guy didn't forget to take a commemorative photo in front of the headquarters.
Xing Baohua ordered five cars, including two supercars, both right-hand drive. The remaining three were standard left-hand drive high-end business models.
Supercars were shipped to Hong Kong, and commercial vehicles were shipped to Luqing Port.
All items are in stock and will be shipped in a couple of days.
Unlike his custom-made bulletproof model, which required modification and testing, I heard just a couple of days ago that the testing was complete and it was ready to be shipped.
Once the deal was finalized with AMG, Xing Baohua's mission was complete. She would first go to the United States, and then return to Hong Kong.
Wei Laisong couldn't sleep after receiving Xing Baohua's call. Because of the seven-hour time difference with Europe, it was only a little past 1 a.m. there.
Having just been parachuted into Luzhong as the top leader, he was indeed very busy and hadn't fully grasped the basic situation of Luzhong yet. Xing Baohua then gave him a generous gift.
It's worth noting that the cooperation between Volkswagen and SAIC has been quite complicated.
Currently, the production of Volkswagen Santana is mainly based on final assembly.
It's remarkable that Xing Baohua was able to acquire production lines for engines and key technologies; one can imagine the enormous cost involved.
I'm so excited, there's nothing else to describe it but excitement.
After daybreak, I first went to the provincial capital to report the situation to the main leaders, and then immediately flew to the capital to report to the main departments.
This is a serious matter.
Many people find it hard to believe, but Xing Baohua is surprisingly credible.
They had no choice but to believe it!
When Wei Laisong first went down there, he wanted to do some projects. During his investigation, he discovered that there was a small tractor factory in central Shandong.
The small tractor factory was established in the 1950s and 60s; at that time, it was called a tractor station.
We repair and sell tractors of other brands; we only deal in two types: the small 12cc and the large 50cc.
The best-selling size is still the small 12. Basically, in each village and team, those with better conditions choose the small 12.
Repair shops often fix those things, and the mechanics gradually learned how to do it. There aren't any technical difficulties; it's just assembly.
They get the engines from Weichai, weld the frames themselves, and source the wheels and other components from other factories.
Building a tractor by hand is much simpler than building a car.
