Chapter 3198: First come, first served
In Xiangjiang, Huaqing Holding Group held a press conference at the same time to negotiate with Luofu Motors and four other car companies at a cost of 4.6 billion U.S. dollars plus one Hong Kong dollar. A total of six brands of cars were signed.
.
These brands cover all grades of cars, from high-end to mid-range to low-end.
From off-road vehicles, to sports cars, to sedans, from four-wheel drive to two-wheel drive, it can be said to cover almost the entire range of vehicles.
This is a real big deal, costing 4.6 billion US dollars. This is on the surface. The Luofu car in Hong Kong was given to Jiang Xiaobai by the Luo family at a symbolic price of one Hong Kong dollar. However, the Luo family acquired the Luofu car.
At least, it costs 400 million US dollars.
If you calculate it this way, Huaqing Holding Group will spend at least US$5 billion to acquire these six brands this time.
Suddenly, all the media reporters became excited. They originally thought that today's protagonists were Luo Jia and Jiang Xiaobai, a joint press conference between the two protagonists.
I just thought that the Luo family transferred Luofu Motors to Huaqing Holding Group for one Hong Kong dollar. This was breaking news.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be just an appetizer. The protagonists today are not the Luo family and Huaqing Holding Group, but only one protagonist, and that is Huaqing Holding Group.
More than five billion US dollars were spent to acquire Luofu Motors, including MG Motor and Luofu Motors, as well as Ford Motor Co., Ltd., Aston Martin, Land Rover, Jaguar, and Volvo.
A big deal, this is definitely a real deal.
From now on, these world-class famous cars are no longer foreign, but are domestically produced cars in a certain sense. How can this not make people excited?
"Director Jiang, may I ask, does the acquisition of six brands of cars mean anything to Huaqing Holding Group?"
"I would like to ask Mr. Jiang, what kind of improvement will it bring to Huahai Automobile by acquiring six brands of cars at the same time?"
"May I ask Mr. Jiang..."
Although it was not yet time for questions and Jiang Xiaobai had not finished speaking, the media reporters at the scene could not help but speak one by one.
They are not tabloid reporters on the street, nor are they tabloid reporters in the entertainment industry. Entertainment tabloid reporters and paparazzi reporters cannot get in.
Nor will they be jointly invited by Huaqing Holding Group and Yingjun Group to attend this press conference. Logically speaking, they should all have their own professional qualities.
They also had the process of this press conference in their hands, and knew that it was not the question and answer session yet, but they couldn't help it, and they all started talking one by one.
"Quiet, quiet." The host had never experienced such a scene. He was a little panicked and quickly reminded loudly.
But the host couldn't control the scene at all. At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai slowly reminded: "Dear journalists and media friends, I understand everyone's mood. They are all happy that Huahai Automobile has acquired six brands at the same time.
I understand everyone's mood very well, because I am also very excited now. This acquisition represents a rapid progress for our domestically produced cars, but please be quiet now, we will wait until the signing is completed.
I will be on hand to answer your questions and answer everything you want to know."
Jiang Xiaobai's voice is not loud, but his aura and momentum are definitely not comparable to that of the host. Although the host's words are eloquent, his aura is not enough. Jiang Xiaobai seems to have a special magic power as soon as he opens his mouth, and the audience is immediately moved.
It became quiet.
As the scene here became quiet, but on the other side of the video screen, the local media and newspapers could not calm down at all. Their emotions were much more excited than those in Xiangjiang.
After all, no matter how shocking the news is to Hong Kong and mainland media reporters, it is a good thing for Hong Kong and mainland China.
Private enterprises in our own country have made large-scale acquisitions abroad and acquired so many car brands at once, making so many brands domestically produced cars in a certain sense. This is the rise of domestic Huahai car manufacturers.
But it is different for the news media on the contract side. So many brands were sold by Ford at once, which is a loss for them.
Just like the acquisition of Yaohan by Huaqing Holding Group, for domestic shopping malls, this was very exciting and felt quite elated.
But it's different for media reporters from Yamato.
They feel very uncomfortable because a good company has become someone else's.
In fact, there are many things that make the media and reporters angry about this kind of normal business activities in shopping malls. It is the same in China. If a well-known domestic company is acquired by a foreign company, domestic media and newspapers will also
accurate.
When the people know about it, they will be angry.
In fact, it's all the same.
My hero is his enemy, my enemy is my enemy, his hero. In fact, this is the same principle everywhere, and it is actually very normal.
Ford dumping so many car brands at once is certainly unacceptable news to local media and newspapers.
In particular, their country's automobile industry has always been among the world's most advanced. General Motors and Ford are among the four major automobile manufacturers in the world. They have always been proud of them, but now they have given up so many brands to them.
Sold.
So one by one they opened fire on the person in charge of Ford Motor Company.
The person in charge at Ford also wanted to imitate Jiang Xiaobai, who first suppressed the emotions of media reporters and then explained.
It's just that the media and reporters at the scene didn't listen to him at all.
One of the reasons why Jiang Xiaobai was able to suppress him is because Jiang Xiaobai has his own personal prestige. The name Jiang Xiaobai itself is a deterrent and has a certain degree of popularity.
To a certain extent, it is even more famous than Huaqing Holding Group and Huahua Bank. Just like Mr. Ma and the companies he founded in later generations, and the companies founded by Internet founders.
Because Jiang Xiaobai is the founder and absolute controlling shareholder of this company, after many things have happened, everyone has realized that Jiang Xiaobai has absolute control over Huaqing Holding Group and Huahua Bank.
But the person in charge at Ford is different. Although he also owns certain shares, he is not a complete professional manager.
