Chapter 1726

Muye technology is so powerful in the Internet field that sometimes others despise its strength in other fields.

Most people always have a thought that if someone does a good job in this aspect, he will certainly be inferior in other aspects.

Little Bill Ford thought that Li Mu could make the technology of Makino, but he could never make the car.

But he didn't care about Li Mu's ability. He only cared about what price Li Mu would like to buy his three brands.

Before, he thought that for Li Mu, who is not poor in money, he should find a way to trade these three brands for shares of Muye technology. But now, it seems that Li Mu's attitude of playing with cars is to throw some money and listen to the sound. In this case, it's not so easy to want his shares.

But there's no harm in trying.

He said with a smile, "Mr. Li, in fact, we have discussed your purchase intention for many times, but we are more inclined to be merged by Makino technology as a whole. What do you think?"

"M & A?" Li Mu smiled: "Mr. Ford, Muye technology will not sell its shares to any group, enterprise or individual before IPO. After IPO, the most direct way for anyone to acquire Muye technology's shares is to buy them in the market. Therefore, I can directly reply to you about M & A, which is impossible."

For Li Mu, what is a good asset and what is a bad asset can be seen at a glance.

Ford's assets are no different from those of cars. They depreciate rapidly and there is no room for value-added. If you want to make profits from these three brands, you have to wait at least five years if you don't have the advantages of the reborn brand;

but the assets of Muye technology are like the land in the center of the city when the house price is about to take off, and there is a huge room for growth.

It's like 2008, when a Mercedes Benz S with more than one million yuan is used for a three bedroom Yanjing apartment, even if it's an equivalent exchange, the latter is also dead, so Li Mu will never do such a loss business.

Little Bill Ford didn't expect that Li Mu refused so simply, or even didn't think about it at all, as if he had told a big joke.

This somewhat frustrated his self-esteem. He had hoped for a glimmer of hope. As a result, Li Mu refused to speak out.

Little Bill Ford couldn't help but also hardened up and said: "since Li always doesn't consider m & A, we can't talk about cash acquisition either. Our offer has already been given to Mr. musk, and the total package price of the three brands is 7 billion dollars."

Li Mu smiled and said: "seven billion is an impossible Mr. Ford. You know in your heart that these brands are not high-quality assets for Ford. On the contrary, they are all bloodsucking leeches. I give you five billion dollars of offer today. Don't think I'm taking advantage of you. Five years later, you three brands may not sell five billion dollars together, And in the past five years, the inflation level of five billion dollars, I believe you, the entrepreneur of industry, should know better than me. "

Little Bill Ford naturally knows the meaning of Li Mu's words. Once the real industry goes downhill, it is really a hot potato. Many times, even someone who is willing to take over cannot be found, so he can only smash it in his own hands.

However, since we are negotiating with Li Mu today, we should naturally take out our attitude. If we make a bet on the right brand and Li Mu really wants these three brands, we may be able to exchange some shares from him. It's really not good. We can also get a good price.

So he coughed and said, "President Li, the actual value of Ford's three brands can't be over 10 billion. If we sell them publicly, the transaction price of these three brands will be more than 7 billion dollars. Many enterprises in the industry are interested in these three brands."

Li Mu smiled: "I don't believe what you said at all. From this year to 2008, I believe that the financial situation is not optimistic, especially in the automobile manufacturing industry. As far as I know, all automobile brands are carrying out asset optimization and desperately reducing the burden to deal with the coming winter. They have a lot of inferior assets to sell. How can we do that Can you still come here and buy the garbage in Ford's hands? "

With that, Li Mu said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm so straightforward."

Li Mu's character has always been very rigid. The reason for this character is that the Internet industry never needs to look at the face of any upstream and downstream enterprises, especially the platform. Users are in their own hands and traffic is in their own hands. No one needs to be afraid. Ford and musk have already talked about the price of more than 6 billion yuan. Bill Ford, Jr., suddenly asked for 7 billion yuan directly It's a bit of a challenge.

Little Bill Ford looked a little ugly.

Anyway, it's also three world-famous automobile brands. Li Mu said it's rubbish, which is a bit too arrogant.

But Li Mu didn't care at all. Seeing that his face was gloomy and uncertain, he said: "for Ford, this year's money is totally different from the next year's money. It's not only the impact of inflation, but also the stop loss of inferior assets. In the current economic situation, we are willing to buy these three brands from you, and we are willing to give you five billion dollars Yuandi, you can't find the second one except me in the world, and I don't have to buy the three Ford brands. Why can't I go to GM to buy their brands? Cadillac, they are also very miserable now. Like you, they can't do Japanese brands in the United States, and they have no foothold in Europe. They are almost as miserable as you. "Little Bill Ford found that he couldn't hold down Li Mu's gas field. Li Mu said his brand was rubbish directly, but he didn't know how to refute it.

No matter Jaguar, Land Rover or Volvo, the sales volume in the past two years is very poor. Ford itself is not a company that is good at asset restructuring, nor is it a company that is very proficient in quality control and cost control. However, the more bad it is at asset restructuring, the more early it is to acquire other automobile brands in several years, it always feels that as an enterprise, it wants to play greedy snake, one after another I've been eating. The little snake becomes the big dragon.

However, after eating it, you have no ability to digest it well. As a result, the more you eat it, the more cumbersome it is. Even your body has been greatly affected.

At this time, Li Mu went on to say, "in spite of the cooperation we are going to talk about this time, I will give you an analysis of who in the world will buy these three brands from you."

"First of all, Japanese enterprises will never be interested in these three brands. The development ideas and concepts of these three brands run counter to those of Japanese enterprises. In Japanese eyes, there are only Japanese cars and German cars in the world. In their eyes, American cars are not rivals at all."

"Second, it's impossible for European car companies to buy back these three brands. Although Volkswagen likes to buy everywhere, you can't get into the eyes of Volkswagen, because these three brands are sold to you from Europe. If Volkswagen really likes these three brands, Ford won't buy them at all."

"In the end, Huaxia auto companies will not buy these three brands, because the old brand auto companies have already made more money by producing joint venture cars. There is no private enterprise with its own value of more than 2 billion dollars, and they think snake swallow elephant does not have this strength."

In fact, at present, the automobile industry in China is very humble. The powerful private enterprises in the future have not really risen yet. Even if the general manager of Jili is called over and asked if he is interested in buying Volvo, he will think it is a fantasy.

Speaking of this, Li Mu said seriously: "Mr. Ford, think about the situation you are facing now. If you miss me, you will miss the only chance to sell these three brands in the next three or four years. Do you know why?"

"Little Bill Ford asked," I don't understand. Please explain to President Li. "

Li Mu said: "because only I have this spare money, and I don't care about this money, I used to like cars when I was a child. At that time, I wanted to play with cars and buy a toy electric car, which was a luxury for my family, but now I'm different. Now I have money, and I still want to play with cars, so I can put out five billion dollars, just to realize my childhood dream Even if the three brands bought by 5 billion will lose money after they are sold, I know that, because I can afford to spend 5 billion dollars to satisfy myself. Who else do you think will have such courage besides me to spend so much money for playing? Bill Gates? Or Buffett? "

"Mr. Li, since you don't need this money, why do you keep the purchase price so low?" said Little Bill Ford? The offer you give me now is not a price negotiated sincerely. "

Li Mu said with a smile: "I'm not poor in money, and I'm willing to throw money to do what I like, but that doesn't mean I'm willing to throw money to make you satisfied. In my opinion, 5 billion is a very reasonable price. Ford can immediately get rid of the trouble caused by the continuous loss of these three brands, realize the inferior assets, and then put the money into its own high-quality industry. So if you really want to If you want to cooperate, don't hold the mentality of pitching each other. Try to find a balance point where you can live and I can live. "

"If these three brands fall into your hands in a few years, you will surely beat your heart and feet for this huge loss. What about me? I may be glad that I didn't have the brain to waste the money; "

" if these three brands fall into my hands after some difficulties, you will be very grateful for the timely delivery today, and I, I will not regret spending the money, even I won't frown, because I have achieved self satisfaction, which is enough for me, I have hundreds of billions It doesn't matter if we take out five billion yuan of assets of scale to satisfy ourselves, even if we lose all of them. "
