Li He didn't care about lowering his status. He wanted to be a villain, but he didn't know how to build a chastity.
Italy's Omnitel Telecom submitted a confidential proposal to Chrysler to acquire all of its AMC assets, and provided Chrysler with 100 million USD in debtor financing.
The progress of the negotiation was slower than Li He imagined. Not only did Chrysler have conditions, but he also had his own demands.
Chrysler asked Li He to inherit all of AMC's debts. However, since the merger of AMC and Chrysler, the two parties were inextricably linked. The debts could not be separated completely. Li He could be paying for Chrysler's debts.
Also, there might be many potential liabilities, such as employee pension and medical expenses, or product warranty costs.
However, in the end, Li He still bore part of the debt and refused to bear the employee pension and medical expenses. There was no reason for him to take care of the American people.
Although the possibility of getting the Jeep brand back was not high, Li He still tried to join the negotiation and asked to take over BAIC Jeep. Then, he could merge everything into BMW.
If it wasn't for the political factors and financial regulation in the US, he would have bought Chrysler. As for the price … …
It was no longer a problem for him to consider.
However, it was unrealistic. The US government did not approve it, and there was nothing he could do.
However, this did not mean that he did not do anything. He still stubbornly used 1.1 billion USD to buy 7% of Chrysler's shares from Cyprus Investment Group through Omnitel Telecom, becoming Chrysler's ninth largest shareholder.
Compared to a full acquisition, equity investment reduced the resistance of the transaction. … …
After witnessing the true nature of Omnitel Telecom's wealth, Chrysler's enthusiasm for negotiations was unprecedentedly high. They even took the initiative to relent on the Jeep brand. They originally hoped that this brand would get orders from the military, but reality proved that they had been overthinking. The military did not even give them a single penny!
Now, they only had one request, and that was to increase the price!
Increase the price?
It's just money!
Li Lao Er, who never lacked money, ignored the shock of Benardi and others and agreed!
"Mr. Li, that's one billion!" Benatti was a typical Italian old man. He was not tall, wore a suit and leather shoes, and wore a pair of exquisite Italian leather shoes. Even Li He despised his hairy hands and was unwilling to shake hands with him.
He had already seen Li He's wealth, but it was different this time. This time, he was almost determined to get it. The only difference was whether it was sooner or later.
Li He smiled. "Let them bring the all-wheel drive car technology. It's worth the price!"
Due to information technology such as the front and rear axle rotational speeds, the driving force of the front and rear axles was controlled and distributed, allowing the vehicle to achieve better anti-skid ability and stable driving experience, while ensuring good acceleration.
Full-wheel drive vehicles were first used in the development and application of off-road vehicles in the early 1970s. Basically, all the major automobile companies in the world had research and development in this area.
For developed countries, this was not a patent or technology worth protecting. However, China did not have this technology. The Latvian Dartz Automobile he had acquired did not have this technology, the Gorky Power Plant did not have this technology, and Romania's Arrow Automobile did not have this technology. The importance of this technology goes without saying.
What?
BAIC wants to cooperate with me on research and development?
Don't even think about it!
Whether it was AMC before or Chrysler later, they all rejected without hesitation. They were already giving you face by selling parts for you to assemble.
However, what Li He valued the most was the assembly workshop and database for the rear-wheel drive model of the AMC factory. Every part of a car required a huge database.
For example, with the development of the automobile industry and the improvement of the domestic car industry, automobile companies would encounter various metal material selection and failure problems in the development process. This required the use of a database. On one hand, it was for the analysis of the basic materials used in the early stage of the vehicle development process, such as the basic mechanical curves and performance parameters of the materials, hardness, yield strength, tensile strength, elongation, etc.
On the other hand, it was for the actual test data of the failure of parts in the later stage of the vehicle development and quality control process.
These were not things that could be built by themselves in a short period of time. In the past, there was really no place to buy them. Now that there was an opportunity, of course, he would buy them.
Huang Bingxin and Pan Youlin had already brought a large delegation to the United States, including Serena, Huang Guoyu, and Lu Bo. From assistants, secretaries to translators, there were hundreds of people. They were going to negotiate with Barclays Bank and Bear Stearns.
When Li He heard that there were accompanying reporters from CCTV in the delegation, he didn't plan to deal with them. It was too ostentatious. He directly asked them to finish their business and assist Benati in the negotiations with Chrysler.
Huang Bingxin, Pan Youlin, and Benati all had the same opinion. They wanted to spend as little money as possible on the acquisition of AMC. On this issue, they went against Li He's intention to end the battle as soon as possible. They would delay as much as possible and lower the price as possible.
Li He was playing with Ivanov's Alaskan dog in the garden when the servant brought the current issue of the magazine.
He squinted his eyes for a while and almost thought he was seeing things. He turned the magazine to Ivanov and cast a questioning look.
Ivanov smiled and said, "Yes, he is Matić. He is now the leader of the Yugoslav Liberation Army. "
"What? The Liberation Army? " Li He didn't think it was funny at all. In his memory, other than the Kosovo Liberation Army, there was no such thing as the Yugoslav Liberation Army. Only God knew if Matić was influenced by Ding Shiping, Lan Shifang, and the others. "He should be fighting with the Croats and Mu now, right?"
Because of Matić, he would often unconsciously look at some news about Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Serbs, Mu, Croats, and even the Yugoslav People's Army were in a mess. Sarajevo was indeed a powder keg.
Jiang Baojian said, "They established the Bosnian Serb Republic in Bosnia and Herzegovina. He is a real power figure and his words carry a lot of weight."
Ivanov said, "Mr. Li, he told me that if you need his help, you can let him know."
Li He waved his hand. "No need."
There was no benefit in dealing with a warlord and drug trafficker.
He thought about it and added, "You guys are not allowed to see him either, do you hear me?"
Ivanov naturally nodded. He was not stupid.
Matić was now known as a murderous warmonger. Many international organizations even considered him guilty of war crimes and wanted to send him to the International Court of Justice.
Therefore, Ivanov also knew that although they had a personal relationship, it was better to stay away from him.
With a splash, Bafra's head emerged from the water with her wet, silky hair.
Little devil!
Damn it!
Li He unconsciously swallowed his saliva.
