(Still trying. My whole family has some symptoms, and today I have almost all of them except for a fever. Please forgive me if I can't keep going and have to stop updating. I will try my best to keep updating.)
The discussion continued in the afternoon.
More details were released, with Xing Baohua's people discussing each point with Nissan.
If an agreement is reached, it will be temporarily written into the contract; if not, it will be set aside and discussed again later.
They talked and waited every day, and a week passed with slow progress, but there was still hope of buying the GTR.
The engine, transmission, and chassis technologies have been finalized. Two semi-automated production lines will be provided; however, if you want Nissan's brand-new production lines, you'll have to pay extra.
This was Xing Baohua's favorite thing; anything that could be solved with money wasn't a problem. Money would be sent in from the Far East every few days.
Xing Baohua was somewhat numb. Those wires were like numbers, practically freebies; taking them to exchange for something with technical content was like getting something for free.
The Japanese are being petty, aiming to squander Xing Baohua's billion US dollars plus his 4.9% stake in the company.
As the saying goes, as long as he can get the complete set of technology, Xing Baohua is willing to spend more money and be a sucker, which is better than having money but not being able to buy it.
After that are some miscellaneous parts, such as cylinder heads, drive rods, springs, etc.
Because these items require high-quality materials, they cannot be produced domestically in the short term. We can only import some steel and other materials from Japan to produce them ourselves.
Many small parts may seem insignificant, but we can't manufacture them ourselves. To reach the level of other countries' industrial capabilities, we still have a long way to go and need to learn.
This is a rather difficult point when discussing carbon fiber materials. Since Nissan is not the manufacturer, their role is merely to assist Xing Baohua in designing the finished carbon fiber products.
It's not the raw materials. At least the finished products won't be used for other things, but the raw materials might be. So as long as Xing Baohua wants the finished products, Nissan will find a way to transport them to China for him.
But if carbon fiber is the only raw material to be used, then we can only leave it to fate. Don't blame Nissan for not trying; they are truly powerless to change the situation.
Xing Baohua thought for a moment, then nodded, which was considered as agreement.
If raw materials are hard to come by, we'll figure something out. First, we can build cars from finished products and make a name for ourselves and make money. If we run into a shortage of raw materials, who knows when we'll get them?
However, Xing Baohua needs to order the finished products based on production capacity.
In any case, since the Japanese readily agreed and provided detailed shell specifications, we had to start mass production.
One is to look at the other party's production capacity, and the second is to look at your own production capacity.
In addition to production capacity, we also need to prepare storage quantities in case of unforeseen circumstances that cause supply to be suspended.
Anyway, Xing Baohua had money, a huge amount of money, and the billion yuan was quickly spent by Nissan through careful budgeting.
Nissan originally intended to acquire the 4.9% stake held by Xing Baohua. Xing Baohua stated that he would sell it after the contract was signed.
That won't do. 4.9% of the shares is a lot. If we dump the shares directly on the stock market, it will cause the stock price to fall.
The best approach now, with everyone speculating, is to release shares gradually, creating a buying frenzy and driving up prices, which would be the most profitable strategy.
To prevent Xing Baohua from causing trouble, Nissan put the funds previously raised and pledged into use first.
Purchase all shares held by Xing Baohua at a 30% premium to the closing price of the day.
Xing Baohua wanted to ask for a three-fold premium, but after thinking about it, he realized that even if Nissan were beaten to death, it wouldn't be able to raise the price three times.
This is the downside of a super-large market: whether it's rising or falling, once you're trapped, you can just wait and see.
Think about the two oil giants, think about those large companies like ICBC and PICC. They're so angry they could grind their teeth, yet the prices haven't risen much at all.
When the year-end report came out, I was still stunned. Debt, huge debt.
When other people's stocks rise, theirs fall; when other people's stocks fall, theirs continue to fall.
That's what fame is all about. Big companies can easily fool retail investors by telling them one thing: no matter how many times these companies go bankrupt, they'll never go bankrupt, and they're still incredibly wealthy.
Those with money should buy at the bottom! It will come in a month or two. A bunch of fools went in and waited for seven or eight years without seeing any improvement.
Nissan not only has a large market share, but also distributes a lot of stock, sometimes with a 10-for-1 bonus share issue.
To acquire Nissan, besides buying shares from existing Nissan shareholders, you have to painstakingly buy up several lots of the outstanding shares.
Whether a hostile takeover is launched when the stake reaches 5%, or whether it's a genuine takeover or just sabotage, it will all depend on negotiation.
Both parties have reached a consensus on their interests, okay! The matter is resolved.
After two weeks of arduous negotiations, they finally secured the entire GTR series and production line.
However, the technical guidance fee is extremely high. They're charging a staggering ten million US dollars for training and guidance services.
It sounded very nice in name, but in reality, they just sent a team of a dozen people to try to help Xing Baohua set up the production line.
They also guided the assembly of the vehicles onto the production line until they were completely off the line.
Xing Baohua ostensibly spent one billion US dollars to buy technology. Although he made some money from the 4.9% stake, he also spent a portion of it, such as purchasing various materials, which required a large sum of two to three hundred million US dollars.
After completing the transaction with Nissan, Xing Baohua used a portion of the money to set up a scheme for Toyota. He also used another portion to buy Nikkei futures, playing the game for three months, and then, depending on the situation, shorting the stock, using a tiered approach.
And those physical real estate properties also need to find ways to cash out.
It has to be someone willing to take the plunge. These are hard to find, but there's still time to find someone to buy in. If you really can't find one, you'll have to force a sell-off, driving the price down by 10%-15%, which will probably cause a frenzy among many small and medium-sized institutions.
