#409 - Invested in Fast

It has to be said that Hilton Fath's proposal really made Lu Haifeng's heart flutter.

However, although he was very tempted, Lu Haifeng didn't show it at all!

On the contrary, he always had a calm and indifferent look, making Hilton Fath unable to guess what he was thinking.

After thinking for a while, Lu Haifeng casually said, "This is indeed a condition that interests me very much!"

"I am a little interested in investing in your Faster supercar brand!"

Hilton Fath's face lit up when he heard Lu Haifeng's words, and he said, "Really? That's great!"

"As long as you are willing to help us get out of the current predicament, I swear in the name of the Hilton family that our family will definitely help you enter the English market smoothly and gain a firm foothold quickly!"

Now Faster Motors is losing money every day, and Hilton Fath is about to be unable to hold on any longer. Hearing that Lu Haifeng was very interested, he was already very excited.

As long as Lu Haifeng is willing to invest in Faster Motors, then just give Hilton Fath time.

Hilton Fath will definitely be able to bring Faster back to life and make Faster stand at the peak of the supercar world again.

However, Lu Haifeng would not let Hilton Fath be excited for too long, so he said with a smile, "Mr. Hilton Fath, I think you should know one thing!"

"If you want me to invest in Faster Motors, I have one most important condition!"

"That is, I must obtain the controlling stake in Faster. If you don't agree to this condition, then there is no need to say anything else!"

Lu Haifeng's words made Hilton Fath's face very ugly.

Because Lu Haifeng's meaning was completely different from his idea!

Hilton Fath just wanted to sacrifice a part of the equity in exchange for some cash to help Faster Motors tide over the difficulties temporarily.

But Lu Haifeng asked for a high price and directly wanted the absolute controlling stake of Faster Motors!

This is not what Hilton Fath is willing to do.

"President Lu, I'm sorry, I can't agree to your condition!"

Hearing Lu Haifeng's condition, Hilton Fath shook his head and said.

He could never give up the absolute controlling stake of Faster Motors.

As long as he gives up the controlling stake of Faster Motors, then Faster will no longer be an English noble brand, but a completely Daxia car company.

Therefore, Hilton Fath refused Lu Haifeng's condition without even thinking about it.

"Mr. Hilton Fath, then we have nothing to talk about!"

"Since you are unwilling to give up the controlling stake, then I won't force you!"

Seeing that Hilton Fath refused without even thinking about it, Lu Haifeng said with a hint of sarcasm and disdain:

"And it is no exaggeration to say that only I have the ability and strength to save your Faster supercar brand!"

"Although our Audi Motors is a new car company, in terms of research and development strength, even Benma, Baolai, Otto, and Volkswagen can't catch up!"

"If you agree to give up the controlling stake, then I can guarantee you that within three years, I will definitely be able to make Faster's sales beat European car companies of the same level, and let you vent your anger!"

Lu Haifeng saw that Hilton Fath was a little moved by his words. After all, beating these European car companies was his dream for many years.

But this was obviously not enough to impress him. If he wanted Hilton Fath to give up the controlling stake, he needed enough benefits to exchange with him!

So Lu Haifeng thought for a while and proposed a suggestion that made Hilton Fath's heart flutter.

"Old Mr., I know what the Faster brand means to your family!"

"Although the controlling stake of the Faster supercar brand has been taken away by me, I can guarantee you one thing!"

"In the future, this car company will still be managed by your family, and I will only provide suggestions and support in terms of direction and technology!"

"The Faster supercar brand is still an independently operated car company!"

"In this way, Faster is still a noble supercar brand, and you are still the helm of the Faster supercar brand. I will never send anyone to interfere with your decision!"

It has to be said that Lu Haifeng's suggestion really hit Hilton Fath's weakness.

He also understood Lu Haifeng's meaning, that is, after Lu Haifeng obtained the controlling stake of the Faster supercar brand, he would not participate in the daily management and operation of the Faster brand, and would also provide absolute technical support.

It's just that at critical moments, the Faster supercar brand must obey his command.

Hearing Lu Haifeng's suggestion, Hilton Fath was sitting on the sofa with his brows furrowed. He was weighing the pros and cons.

If he agrees to Lu Haifeng's conditions, then it is foreseeable that Faster will receive a lot of funds for development, and from then on, Faster will have Audi Motors behind it, then Faster will no longer lack technical shortcomings.

The suggestion that the Faster brand should be operated independently loosened Hilton Fath's psychological defense line.

However, there are also great risks in this. He can't guarantee that Lu Haifeng will kick his family out of the Faster brand at some point in time.

Moreover, the shares of Faster Motors are not only controlled by the Hilton family, but also a part of them is in the hands of the English Queen.

And in order to express his respect for the Queen, Faster's brand only has vice presidents, and the position of president has always been held by the Queen in name.

Therefore, if Lu Haifeng wants to obtain absolute control of Faster Motors, then Hilton Fath needs to discuss with the Queen.

But overall, Lu Haifeng's proposal really made Hilton Fath unable to refuse.

"President Lu, to be honest, I am very interested in your proposal!"

"It's just that although most of the shareholders of Faster Motors have withdrawn their capital and been taken back by me!"

"However, 40% of the shares of Faster Supercar are still in the hands of our English Queen. If you must obtain absolute control of Faster, I need to persuade Her Majesty the Queen first!"

After the two sides openly and honestly discussed cooperation, Hilton Fath no longer hid it, and directly told Lu Haifeng the entire equity structure of Faster Supercar!

The scale of the Faster brand is not small. In the past, the total market value of this car company was about 100 billion RMB.

Because this car company was founded by the Queen when she was young, the Queen alone accounted for 40%, the Hilton family accounted for 40%, and the remaining 20% was divided equally among other small shareholders.

In recent years, Faster has been losing money year after year, and in various competitions, Faster has been unable to lift its head under the pressure of other car companies.
