The next few days were spent negotiating to determine the details of the cooperation. Xia Yu and Lao He did not participate, and their professional team was responsible for it.
For example, the specific selling price of Bugatti, the construction location of the joint venture factory, and the overall package sale of the Bugatti brand pavilion in Autostadt.
Although Bugatti is only worth a few hundred million euros, Bugatti cars are very valuable, and it is not impossible that the car is more expensive than the company.
Every car in the exhibition hall is a fine product, enough to host a Bugatti-themed auction, and the auction amount is sure to be staggering.
The most expensive one is the Bugatti 57SC Atlantic, designed by Bugatti's son, Sean Bugatti, and was once called the Mona Lisa of the automotive industry.
In 2010, 10 years ago, a 57SC Atlantic was auctioned and sold for a whopping $30 million.
Of course, package acquisition is different from auction. The car in the Volkswagen collection may not be sold for 30 million US dollars, but the price of dozens of cars added together is several hundred million euros.
Xia Yu is not short of money. This is a rare opportunity. If he buys them all, it will enrich his collection.
At this moment, the tourists visiting the Bugatti Brand Pavilion do not know that they are the last viewers of these cars, and those behind them will not be able to see them even if they want to.
"Mr. Dies, what do you say I buy the Lamborghini as well?"
At the Lamborghini exhibition hall next door, Xia Yu said while looking at a red Lamborghini Countach.
Like Bugatti, Lamborghini has also made profits in the past two years. Coincidentally, Winkelmann was also the CEO of Lamborghini before, and he has always had the ability to save loss-making supercar brands.
"Mr. Sherlock, I think you must be joking, but Lamborghini and Ducati are also on the company's list of companies that are considering selling."
Lao He smiled and said that Volkswagen is no longer the automobile empire of yesterday. If it wants to survive better in the wave of electrification, it must cut down its size, even if the brand is still profitable.
"After Bugatti, I like Lamborghini better than Ferrari, but it's a pity I can't afford it."
Xia Yu sighed and said that Lamborghini is not Bugatti, a few hundred million euros is not enough to buy it, and a few billion combined with technology exchange is about right.
“No, no, no, if Jierui Power is on the market, you will definitely be able to afford it.”
Lao He shook his head and said that he was not flattering, but the market was optimistic about Xia Yu. With its technological leadership, Jierui Power's future market value would definitely exceed Volkswagen.
"Then I'll take your blessing. I hope you haven't sold your Lamborghini by that day."
Xia Yu doesn't like to build his own car, because humans will eventually eliminate cars as a means of transportation. After riding on an alien landing shuttle, he became more convinced of this idea.
Trams are just a transitional product. The future mode of transportation will definitely be floating. It will not need tires, will not touch the ground, and will truly fly close to the ground.
By that time, Xia Yu would definitely not object to Bugatti abandoning the internal combustion engine and becoming a floating car brand.
And of course, there's Lamborghini, if that brand belongs to him in the future.
"Mr. Xia, this is the preliminary consensus reached between us and Volkswagen."
Back at the hotel, the head of the negotiation team reported the results to Xia Yu and handed him the sorted documents.
"The Bugatti is valued at 650 million euros, and the car is valued at 350 million euros, so a total of 1 billion euros?"
The price is really not expensive, because the focus is on the joint venture factory between the two parties. Volkswagen will therefore take the initiative in the electrification reform and will not be as embarrassed as before.
"How did the factory talks go?"
Xia Yu asked as he flipped through the documents.
"The factory site is tentatively set in Zwickau. Volkswagen's factory there has been transformed into a pure electric factory. The 1.0 series battery cells produced at that time can be delivered directly, saving transportation costs and time costs."
The person in charge introduced that Jierui Power's overseas branch in Stuttgart mainly produces 2.0 series battery cells, which are currently supplied to mid-to-high-end models, while low-end models still mostly use the 1.0 series.
“How much money will that require us to invest?”
Xia Yu continued to ask, he still wanted to know the specific expenses.
"No, we will invest in technology, and Volkswagen will help us optimize our production lines."
There is no love without reason in the world. The public is so enthusiastic for only one reason: they have a larger stake.
Xia Yu didn't care about this. The joint venture factory was not the profit center of Jierui Power. What they needed to do was to continuously launch epoch-making products.
"So, all I need to do is prepare 1 billion euros in cash?"
Xia Yu could take out this amount of money in minutes. The important thing was that by completing this acquisition, he could get experience points equal to the expenditure.
What's the current exchange rate for the Euro?
Today is October 9th, and the closing price of the euro to RMB exchange rate is 7.9142, which means that excluding various taxes and fees, the entire acquisition requires paying the other party 7.9142 billion RMB.
Good guy, Xia Yu, good guy.
Adding a few more points would be enough for him to reach Level 20. It is really better to directly acquire a business than to buy a car or a house, as the experience points can be gained faster this way.
Xia Yu suddenly felt that he should acquire more companies in the future, but they must also be companies he likes, as different ideas can easily lead to conflicts.
After letting the person in charge go back and rest, Xia Yu got up and called Lao Wen. Although he was not his boss yet, their relationship was definitely closer than before.
"I suppose this is good news, Mr. Sherlock?"
When the call was connected, Lao Wen spoke first.
