Chapter 482: Are you afraid? (First update)

Seeing Norbert Reithof's silence, Li Zetian couldn't help but continue: "Mr. Norbert Reithof, although BMW is also a world-class automobile manufacturer, with all due respect, compared with Japan's Toyota Motor Corporation, BMW The combined market capitalization of the three BMW companies is less than that of Toyota Motor Corporation!”

When Li Zetian said this, he paused, glanced at Mr. Reithof, with a smile on his lips, and said lightly: "Didn't Mr. Reithev ever think about letting BMW surpass Toyota and become the world's largest automobile manufacturer?" Car manufacturer? Others may not be able to do this, but I, Chronos Li, am absolutely capable of doing it! I will let BMW's major shareholders get far more benefits than they currently have!"

"Mr. Reithof, I know it's difficult for you to make a decision now. You can go back and discuss with the board of directors. At the same time, please bring my sincerity to Royce Motor Company plus US$25 billion in cash..."

After Li Zetian finished speaking, Norbert Reithof finally responded: "Okay, Mr. Li, I understand. Goodbye, I will tell you the decision of the BMW Board of Directors as soon as possible!"

"Okay, bye!"

The two ended their conversation.

Germany, BMW headquarters, Norbert Reithofer sat on a chair, holding his chin, thinking deeply.

"It is not a bad idea to accept Mr. Li's acquisition..." Norbert Reithofer murmured, "If it is true as he said, BMW can surpass Toyota Motor Corporation of Japan. Even if the shares held by shareholders are reduced, the value will be But even higher! If Chronos Li becomes the majority shareholder of BMW, then BMW will have a lot of opportunities in the future in terms of brand promotion, offline channels, Internet channels, funds, talents, technology, spare parts supply and market demand. It has great advantages..."

After a while, Norbert Reithof suddenly raised his head, picked up the landline phone, called his secretary, and said: "Elena, send a notice immediately to hold a board meeting at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning!!!"

"Okay, Mr. Reithofer."

The next morning, members of BMW's board of directors came to the company one after another.

“What the hell is Norbert Reithof doing, suddenly there’s a board meeting, I was on vacation in the Mediterranean, sun, beach and bikinis, oh my God, this is real life!!! But I was told to A board meeting was held, and I flew back overnight! If I see Norbert Reithof later, I will make him compensate for my losses. I heard that Norbert Reithof has collected a lot. Good wine!" A middle-aged man wearing sunglasses and casual clothes walked into the conference room, found a seat and sat down, cursing with a big smile.

"Haha, Charles, you really know how to enjoy it! By the way, Charles, I heard that you are chasing the French goddess Sophie Marceau?"

Charles took off his sunglasses, shook his head and sighed: "Oh, stop talking, it's too bad, I was rejected by her. By the way, do you know why Norbert Reithof held a board meeting?"

"I know a little bit," one director smiled and nodded, "I heard that Chronos Li wants to acquire BMW."

Just as everyone was discussing, the door to the conference room opened again, and Norbert Reithof walked in. While waving to everyone and saying hello, he walked straight towards the chairman's seat.

"Today's board meeting is very important about the future of BMW! Without further ado, Chronos Li wants to acquire BMW. He will invest Rolls-Royce Motor Cars and US$25 billion in BMW, and BMW will sell 60 Give him % of the shares!”

After Norbert Reithof finished speaking, the conference room was in a commotion and there was a lot of discussion.

As far as the conditions offered by Li Zetian are concerned, they are indeed very sincere. Rolls-Royce Motor Cars mainly has three brands, one is Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, the other is Bentley, and the other is the Veyron, a low-end brand car that Li Zetian asked Rolls-Royce Motor Cars to build in China. Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is not listed, and its market value cannot be reflected in specific figures. However, even if the market value does not reach 10 billion U.S. dollars, there are still several billion U.S. dollars. (Li Zetian only spent US$6.7 billion when he bought Rolls-Royce Motor Company)

Coupled with US$25 billion in cash, it is naturally enough to acquire 60% of BMW's shares.

The conference room was a little noisy, and Norbert Reithof's voice could not help but raise a few decibels, and he continued: "I have thought about it carefully before, and it seems that accepting Chronos Li's investment will have more benefits than disadvantages for BMW and all shareholders." , please take a look at some of the information and analysis I compiled."

With that said, the secretary turned on the projector.

The ppt lists in detail what benefits Chronos Li will bring to BMW after acquiring BMW.

The conference room was quiet, everyone was listening, and only Norbert Reithof's voice kept echoing.

Ten minutes later, Norbert Reithof finished his story. He glanced around and asked, "If you have any opinions, please feel free to mention them."

Charles was the first to speak: "I am a businessman, and I will support whoever can bring me the greatest benefits! Norbert Reithof, I think your analysis is correct and logical. Accept Chronos Li The investment acquisition does not mean that the value of the shares we hold shrinks, on the contrary, its value should increase! Therefore, I agree with Chronos·Li’s acquisition of BMW!”

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

"..."

Everyone agreed. Norbert Reithof nodded secretly and said solemnly: "Okay, if that's the case, then I will contact Chronos Li immediately to facilitate this matter as soon as possible!"

"good!"

After the meeting, Norbert Reithofer immediately called Li Zetian.

"Hello Mr. Li, I am Norbert Reithof."

"Oh, hello, Norbert Reithofer, has the BMW board of directors made a decision?"

"Yes, Mr. Li, we have decided to accept your conditions!"

"Great! I believe this is definitely a very wise decision!" Li Zetian laughed, "I looked at my schedule and it will be quite busy in the future. I see, I will fly to Germany this afternoon. Sign an agreement with BMW as soon as possible, what do you think?"

"Of course we have no problem!"

"Okay, see you in Germany!"

"See you in Germany!"

Li Zetian hung up the phone with a smile on his face. He waved to Vanessa who was not far away and said: "Arrange the flight for the afternoon. I want to fly to Germany to sign a contract with BMW! In addition, notify Lao CEO of Tesla Motors, let him also come to BMW."

"Okay, Mr. Li."

After lunch, Li Zetian headed to the airport non-stop...

After more than ten hours, Li Zetian finally arrived in Germany.

Outside the airport, rows of BMW fleets had already come to greet him. The scene was so spectacular that it shocked everyone inside and outside the airport.

"Holy crap, what's going on???" passers-by were stunned.

"Hundreds of BMW luxury cars are lined up in a row. Are they going to accept some big shot?"

Many people stayed away and waited to watch the excitement, taking photos and checking Facebook and Weibo.

"Shocked! Hundreds of BMW luxury cars suddenly appeared at the German airport!!!"

Through Facebook and Weibo, the news immediately spread throughout the Internet, shocking everyone!

Some people directly took out their iPhones, opened Google Maps, and watched the real scene of the German airport through satellite.

Suddenly, there was an uproar outside the airport, followed by shouts.

"Damn it, the German Chancellor is here too!"

"He is now smiling and chatting with Norbert Reithofer, chairman of BMW..."

"Did the German Chancellor also come to pick up people at the airport? Could it be that US President George W. Bush is coming? That shouldn't be the case. I haven't heard that the US President is going to visit Germany..."

At this moment, a Space-X2000 ultra-large long-range passenger aircraft arrived at the airport.

Everyone's expressions were shocked, but they had already guessed who the German Chancellor and the Chairman of BMW were going to greet!

"It turns out Chronos Li is here!!!" A large group of people rushed to the airport exit, as excited as fans when they saw a celebrity.

Li Zetian walked out of the airport with difficulty under the protection of bodyguards, and then greeted the German Chancellor and the Chairman of BMW cordially with a smile on his face.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I didn't expect you to come to the airport too." Li Zetian shook hands with him and said with a smile.

The German Chancellor smiled and said: "The famous richest man in the world comes to invest in Germany. Of course I have to come and greet him personally. I heard Norbert Reithof said that you want to acquire BMW and lead BMW to defeat Toyota Motor Company. Haha, The German government is very supportive of this matter, but BMW is a German company and is related to the employment of many people..."

Li Zetian smiled and said: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I understand what you mean! Don't worry, BMW will not move to other countries. BMW will always be BMW of Germany! You know, I actually own many products in Germany, such as Carl Zeiss , BASF, SAP, TRUMPF..."

"Yes," the German Chancellor smiled and nodded, praising: "Chronos Li, you are the most popular investor in Germany!"

"Oh, thank you."

Soon, the three of them got into the car and drove away, followed by a fleet of BMWs as far as the eye could see, leaving everyone in endless suspense.

A Volkswagen executive frowned and said, "BMW and Chronos Li are working together. Is there any cooperation between them?"

"Mr. Li, the hotel has been booked for you. Do you want to stay at the hotel and take a rest?" Norbert Reithof asked.

Li Zetian waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need, I had a good rest on the plane."

The German Chancellor smiled and said: "Haha, I heard that Chronos Li's special plane Space-X2000 is the most luxuriously decorated and comfortable aircraft in the world!"

"Including decoration, the total cost is over a billion dollars, so it is quite comfortable to live in..." Li Zetian said with an understatement, but there was actually a strong air of pretentiousness in his words.

The German Chancellor and the Chairman of BMW were both startled when they heard this and said to themselves, how inhumane it is! ! !

The German Chancellor even felt that he, as Prime Minister, did not have the status of a businessman. Looking at his own special plane, and then looking at Chronos Li's special plane, he was filled with tears...

Li Zetian glanced at the German Chancellor and smiled secretly in his heart, Haha, let alone the German Chancellor, even the President of the United States, his special plane is not as good as mine!

If you have money, you can spend it however you want!

The car quickly drove to BMW's headquarters, and then, witnessed by the German Chancellor, Li Zetian signed an investment acquisition agreement with BMW.

From now on, Li Zetian will be the big boss of BMW, serving as the company's chairman, and Norbert Reithof will serve as executive director and CEO.

In the evening, BMW held a party and opened champagne to celebrate the collaboration.

At this time, the ordinary employees of BMW knew that BMW had been acquired by Li Zetian, and the boss had changed since then. However, they are not repelled, but are even more happy. How proud they are to have such an awesome boss. Of course, the most important thing is that BMW will definitely grow and develop, and employees will benefit from it.

That night, the news of Li Zetian's acquisition of BMW spread like wildfire, causing a huge sensation in Germany.

The next morning, BMW also announced that Li Zetian had taken over BMW and became its new owner!

Well, for a while, the entire automobile industry was in turmoil.

The super-capitalists who are causing trouble are going to enter the automobile industry in a big way. I ask you if you are afraid?
