Chapter 178

Detroit, located at longitude and latitude 42 ° 19 ′ n, 83 ° 2 ′ W, was established in 1815 with an area of about 370.2km ²， The land area is 359.4km ²， The water area is 11km ²。 The highest point is located in the northwest of the city, with an altitude of about 204 meters. It is the largest city in Michigan. Founded by French fur traders in 1701, it is an important port city, world traditional automobile center and music capital located in the northeast of the United States, north of Windsor, Canada and along the Detroit River. It is the revival of the American population. Detroit is mainly concentrated in the downtown area with uneven development. It is still one of the poorest big cities in the United States. About 38% of the residents live in poverty, and there is still a large gap between the median income and the average level of the state. Social security also has great room for improvement. After all, the rapid recovery driven by investment is difficult to change the perception of talents on the city in the short term.

John chambers has been in the motor city for nearly a month since he set the direction with his boss. During this period, not only the black cloud North American automobile company was established, but also fierce negotiations were held with Chrysler.

Both sides hope to get more, and black cloud group hopes to spend as little as possible. Chrysler sees that the black cloud group has entered the automotive field with such a big bang. With baozixuan's character and financial resources, it must be the most hopeful.

So what time will it take to kill heiyun now. This is the reason why baozixuan didn't dare to participate in the negotiation. With his character, he felt that the price was appropriate and would win it directly. It often disrupts the plan and rhythm of the negotiation team, and will spend a lot of wronged money.

After checking each clause in detail for several times, Chrysler finally couldn't hold up. According to their past memory, they are going to apply for bankruptcy protection next year, which shows how bad the business situation of the enterprise is. Although the price offered by heiyun group is not very high, it is also the most interested and sincere buyer at present.

RB car companies have built factories in the United States and no longer need to buy factories. American auto companies are having a hard time now. They want to sell their factories. How can they take over Chrysler now? It's too late to hide.

After learning about Chrysler's debt problem, John Chambers immediately contacted Chrysler's cooperative banks. After paying some benefits, all banks chose to put pressure on Chrysler. Chrysler, which was forced to do nothing, could only contact black cloud as soon as possible and strive to solve the problem as soon as possible, otherwise the workers and banks might drive them to death.

After receiving a call from John Chambers, Bao Zixuan also came to the auto city of Detroit. Now Detroit has declined, but it can hold on. But who could have thought that this once beautiful city would one day apply for bankruptcy custody.

But these have nothing to do with baozixuan. Bankruptcy is 30 years later. At that time, it was estimated that the automobile manufacturing center had long been transferred to China. Whether Detroit was alive or dead had nothing to do with itself. Even if there are factories, the scale will be controlled very small. He doesn't want to build too many factories in the United States.

Introduced by John Chambers, baozixuan met Chrysler chairman madel Chrysler. This rich third generation has long lost its former glory, and now he has been overwhelmed by Chrysler's declining performance. Moreover, my technical strength and business ability are much worse than his grandfather. Now he thought that heiyun group would buy Chrysler's branches and factories. He just wanted to complete the transaction as soon as possible so that the enterprise could get cash and keep the parent company. As for Dodge and Jeep, they were not Chrysler's own sons. They were later acquired for the development of mergers and acquisitions, and they didn't pay so much attention to Chrysler.

Since we can get cash to solve problems for the parent company, it is also a good choice to sacrifice these two branches. As long as the military car models and production lines can be separated.

Madel Chrysler said to Bao Zixuan, "welcome Mr. Bao to Chrysler. Your youth is beyond my imagination."

Bao Zixuan: "thank you, Mr. Chrysler. Chrysler is a great enterprise. It's my honor to be here."

After the two sides said a few compliments, they began to get to the point. All the problems have been solved in the preliminary negotiations. And the contract has been drafted. Baozixuan just signed the contract and appeased the auto workers of the two brands at the same time.

This time, as John Chambers was responsible for all of them, a lot of money was saved on the price. The main content of the contract is that black cloud group acquires jeep and dodge automobile companies and Chrysler's two factories in Detroit.

Jeep and dodge stripped off the military department and only sold the brand and civil department to baozixuan. In fact, it's no use selling the military vehicle department to heiyun. It is impossible for Americans to hand over this industry related to national security to a non-U.S. company.

In addition, the operating rate of Chrysler plant is very low, so that many workers have nothing to do. Now the black cloud group has taken over all of them, which is a very good result.

The US Department of Commerce soon approved the acquisition if the black cloud group did not. Then the only way to wait for Chrysler's fate is to go bankrupt or the government. This is not the result that the U.S. Department of commerce wants to see, and once Chrysler really goes wrong after they veto the acquisition, the Department of Commerce will take the blame.

The purchase price is more than 800 million US dollars, which is the largest sum of money baozixuan has spent so far. If there is no oil futures income, I really can't get the money. But now everything is not a problem. After all, oil futures will have an income of more than $5 billion in the future. He can buy, buy and buy according to his preferences.

At the moment when shuangfa signs the contract, heiyun needs to pay Chrysler $820 million in the next three months, and the down payment of $200 million will arrive immediately after the contract is signed.

Baozixuan knows that dodge and Jeep are now under the black cloud group, and there are nearly 16000 workers in two factories. In fact, he doesn't want to recruit too many workers in the United States. In previous generations, the Germans were crushed by the pensions and high benefits of Chrysler American workers, resulting in a huge loss of more than $20 billion to get rid of Chrysler.

In order to avoid the mistakes of the Germans, heiyun must try to use automation equipment to reduce the number of workers in the future. However, the urgent task now is to appease these workers, which is a more annoying existence than the U.S. Department of Commerce.

After the contract was signed, the black cloud group remitted the first $200 million to Chrysler. Fortunately, there is not much spending now, and the monthly cash flow is very abundant. It's so happy to see black clouds. Madel Chrysler feels that the price is less. No matter what is done now, it can only act according to the contract.

Baozixuan is looking at the information of the two companies and the situation of the factory. Now there is finally a production workshop for hybrid vehicles. But the premise is that baozixuan wants to solve these workers.

Black cloud group is an unlisted company and does not need to disclose its operations to the public. But Chrysler is truly a listed enterprise, and every major transaction of Chrysler must be announced to shareholders.

People all over the world were shocked by baozixuan's courage when they knew that heiyun group had entered the automotive field with such a big bang. How much money did the boy have? He just bought Hutchison Whampoa and then bought an automobile company.

Many people are afraid that baozixuan will bring down the enterprise because of diversification, but the automobile industry knows. Here comes the wolf, who is not short of money.
