If you want to acquire Bugatti, in addition to his nod, you also need the approval of the board of directors.
This is not difficult, after all, Xia Yu has advantages.
Soon, the car stopped in front of the hotel. The hotel they were staying in was still Steigenberge, which is under the Italian Hotel Group.
The meeting with the public is scheduled for tomorrow, and today is mainly for rest, even though Xia Yu does not need to rest.
After settling into the presidential suite of the hotel, Xia Yu successfully contacted people back home and learned that the negotiation team would depart tonight and arrive in the country tomorrow.
Xia Yu is only responsible for the general direction; the details of the negotiations and various legal regulations need to be followed up by the team.
After several years of development, he has gradually built a sufficiently professional team that does not belong to any specific company and is independent of the group. Like the assistant team, it is only responsible to Xia Yu.
Before he knew it, he had created a lot of jobs, and Xia Yu felt great about himself!
This is probably the social responsibility of the super rich. In today's serious internal circulation, how to make a new cake is crucial.
Xia Yu set his sights on the sky. If the earth cannot feed all human beings, then let the universe do it.
Endless minerals, rich resources, and a vast world. Humanity must go out to have a future, just like it can only grow up if it leaves the protection of its mother.
With current technology, humans are unable to leave their home planet, so Xia Yu has no choice but to find something to do.
Bugatti is his latest target. It is impossible for him to build a car. Apart from making batteries, the only option is to buy an existing car company.
The potential of the W16 engine has not been fully tapped yet, and it should not be eliminated so early.
The Bugatti Bolide has an output of 1,850 horsepower. Xia Yu hopes to see Bugatti break through 2,000 horsepower and 2,500 horsepower in his hands, so that in the era of electric cars, he can use extremely cool fuel supercars to drain the wallets of the rich.
The night passed and light came to the world. The maids walked into the bedroom, opened the curtains, and the sunlight poured in.
This was a business negotiation. Xia Yu put on a suit and Feng Manxue helped him tie his tie. After breakfast, they officially went to Volkswagen headquarters.
Wolfsburg, also known as Wolfsburg, was built in 1938 at the order of Hubertus Mustache to accommodate Volkswagen employees.
To this day, 60% of the city’s residents are still employees of Volkswagen, which feels a bit like a state-owned enterprise.
In fact, the Lower Saxony state government really holds a 20% stake in Volkswagen, which is probably worth tens of billions of euros now?
As one of the world's top three automobile groups, Volkswagen's market value is close to 100 billion US dollars, while as a startup that has been established for less than three years, Xia Group's market value is less than half of that of the other group.
It has to be said that this is the power of technology. With the completion and commissioning of many branches of Jierui Power, battery production capacity has continued to increase, and the market has also significantly adjusted the valuation of Jierui Power.
Now, it is worth 150 billion and is the most valuable company besides Xia’s Catering.
Xia Yu believes that he can get a good result this year. It will only take these two days, right?
Before the car drove into the Volkswagen headquarters, it passed the Autostadt automobile theme park, where there are two glass towers that provide 24-hour self-service car pick-up service. The multi-story parking lot in "Mission Impossible 4" is a replica of them.
Compared with the delivery center, Xia Yu is more interested in the seven automobile brand pavilions in Autostadt, especially the Bugatti pavilion. The collection of cars from past dynasties in the headquarters of Bugatti is not as large as that here.
Well, when he buys Bugatti, he will move this exhibition hall back with him. It was a happy decision.
We crossed Autostadt and stopped in front of the headquarters building, where Herbert Diess and a group of managers had been waiting for a long time.
Before joining Volkswagen in 2015, He was the director of BMW's R&D department and was once a candidate for the head of BMW. This resume is very similar to that of Ola Källenius. However, after losing to Krüger, he left BMW and joined Volkswagen, becoming the current CEO of Volkswagen.
"Mr. Sherlock, welcome to Volkswagen. Ever since JETRO Power launched its 2.0 battery cell to the world, I've been wanting to meet you to discuss its impact on the automotive industry. Today, I finally get to meet you."
The gray-haired Herbert Diss held Xia Yu's hand and said.
"Me too. It's a pity that my previous visits to China were always too rushed. Otherwise, I would have liked to visit the Volkswagen Group a long time ago."
Xia Yu and Lao He exchanged greetings.
The number of car companies he has visited in recent years is astonishing, including those from China, the US, Germany, and Italy. He has visited all of them and signed many supply contracts.
If we can successfully acquire Bugatti this time, perhaps there will be another car company supplying the products.
Lao He led Xia Yu into the Volkswagen headquarters building and started with a tour. After lunch, the two sides got to the main topic of the day.
"Mr. Diess, I want to acquire Bugatti. I wonder if your company can part with it?"
Xia Yu asked bluntly.
In business negotiations, it is not the case that whoever speaks first loses. The most important thing is to weigh the interests and compare the gains and losses.
"Mr. Sherlock, according to the company's 2030 plan, we will only retain Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche in the future. To cut costs and provide funds for the expansion of electrification, the remaining brands can be sold. But when to sell them and what kind of returns in exchange are what I and the board of directors must consider."
Lao He set the tone for this business negotiation: Bugatti can be sold, but how to sell it must be negotiated.
In ordinary transactions, the highest bidder wins, but the key point is that this transaction is not ordinary.
