#809 - Chapter 809: Cooperation? Who cooperated with you? Massive acquisitions, collective acting!
Early morning.
Chen Hao drove straight to Hanteng Capital's headquarters.
Yesterday, he slept at school and needed to use the equipment on the negative first floor of the small building.
As soon as he got in the car, he immediately contacted General Wang: "How high has the water level risen on both sides?"
"Over five meters!" General Wang's voice was low.
"Tianzhue hasn't withdrawn yet?"
"Some civilians have withdrawn, but that idiot Vajpayee hasn't issued a withdrawal order yet!"
"Forget it, let's ignore them."
Chen Hao frowned.
It's hard to persuade a ghost who's determined to die!
Huaxia notified all countries to evacuate, not only in the spirit of humanitarianism, but also because… the whole world has to work for Huaxia!
Too many deaths.
The population is decreasing.
There will be fewer people working for Huaxia.
To put it bluntly, if the people of other countries die out and there aren't countless countries acting as blood slaves, would life still be so good?
But…
That idiot Vajpayee still doesn't take this seriously. What can he do?
"By the way!"
General Wang changed the subject: "That side… is settled!"
"So fast?"
Chen Hao's eyes lit up: "Did you get the evidence?"
"Not yet. It was just sent to the Middle East overnight. It might take some time."
"Notify me immediately when you have news!"
"Okay."
The call ended.
…
A conference room at Hanteng Capital's headquarters.
Thirty to forty people arrived early in the morning.
These are the core executives of major car companies!
The last time we had a private meeting, there were many more people than now. The reason why there are so few people…
The reason will soon be revealed.
Chen Hao walked into the conference room and went straight to the head seat, the only main seat.
"Hello, everyone." He sat down with a confident air.
"Mr. Chen!"
Ferdinand took the lead in speaking: "We are announcing to the public that we are cooperating with your company…"
That's right!
Several major car companies announced yesterday that they had formed a strategic partnership with Shenzhou Automobile, a subsidiary of Hanteng Capital, in order to stabilize the market—a unilateral announcement.
Otherwise, the stock price would plummet.
Under the leadership of Huaxia technology, internet technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, and information is transmitted extremely quickly.
There is both domestic publicity.
And smart phone software promotion.
And there are those guys scattered in Europe and the United States who are ordered by Chen Hao to write small essays through the media.
In short.
The news of electric cars has spread all over the world.
Wireless charging!
Super intelligence!
Automatic driving!
Virtual screen!
It can be said that any one of these is disruptive, and with so many high-tech technologies combined, anyone with a bit of brains knows that—fuel vehicles are no longer competitive and will be crushed to death by electric vehicles.
In the past few days, the stock prices of all traditional car companies have completely collapsed.
"Cooperation?"
Chen Hao was very surprised: "Why haven't I heard of it? Could it be…"
"Such a big thing, and you didn't report it to me? Outrageous!"
While speaking.
He glared angrily at the people beside him.
"Chairman Chen!"
Sun Hongxing shook his head: "You misunderstood! We did not sign an electric vehicle cooperation agreement with Volkswagen, and we didn't even receive a cooperation invitation!"
Suddenly.
Ferdinand's old face turned red.
Since we are meeting with Chen Hao today, there is no need to mention the so-called cooperation invitation to Sun Hongxing.
As for the news announced to the public…
It's pure nonsense!
It was a last resort to stabilize the stock price.
Ferdinand wanted to explain, but Xia Qingyan held back her laughter and said seriously: "Chairman Chen, we have not cooperated with any foreign companies on the electric vehicle project, but… we have acquired quite a few."
"Acquired?" Chen Hao pretended to be stunned.
Okay!
It's all acting.
Acting for the major car companies to see.
"That's right!"
Xia Qingyan took out a document, handed it to Chen Hao, and said: "We have acquired 30 car companies, including Fiat from Italy, Citroen from France, and Polestar from Sweden, etc."
Why are there so few people here today compared to the last private meeting of car companies?
In Chen Hao's eyes, car companies are divided into three levels.
One type is these giants today.
Don't look at the fact that there are thirty to forty people present, they actually only come from the top ten car companies.
Each car company just sent more people.
The second type is car companies below the top giants, ranked within the top 50 globally.
This type of car company has only one path.
To be acquired!
What can you do?
Faced with Shenzhou Automobile's electric vehicles, wireless charging technology, charging piles, and the addition of cheap clean energy, traditional fuel vehicles have no hope—companies without competitiveness, their future is already doomed.
Not only will they be acquired, but the price will be very low.
They can still sell for some money now, but once electric vehicles and charging piles become popular, they will only face bankruptcy!
In comparison, this type of car company is still lucky.
The third type.
Car companies with even smaller market shares.
Chen Hao doesn't even have the idea of acquiring them.
It's not worth it!
The 30 acquired car companies are distributed in different countries around the world, and will undergo a series of transformations in the future to become Shenzhou Automobile's branch factories.
Due to their global distribution, they can greatly save on transportation costs.
So…
Having these branch factories is enough, and there is no need to acquire the third type of small and medium-sized car companies.
Their future has only one path.
Wait to go bankrupt!
Chen Hao pretended to browse the report, while muttering unhappily: "Citroen… 800 million? Too expensive! Companies without competitiveness are not worth this price at all!"
This was translated and told to the boss.
The senior executives of the car giants present changed their expressions.
Citroen.
A relatively highly ranked car company, with a market value of tens of billions before, but now…
It was acquired for 800 million!
The key is that Chen Hao still thinks it's too expensive!
So…
What is their fate?
"Too expensive! Land Rover cost 1.3 billion? What a joke!"
"Buick wants 1.7 billion? Are you crazy?!"
Chen Hao looked at it.
While constantly complaining.
Xia Qingyan pretended to show an embarrassed expression, but she almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.
From the expressions of the senior executives of the top car companies, you can see…
They look like they've eaten shit!
When she acquired these car companies, their market value was several times the acquisition price before electric vehicles appeared!
You need to know.
Car companies have factories, equipment, and even a lot of land.
Land is money!
The senior executives of the car companies present were listening to Chen Hao constantly saying it was too expensive, and they were all about to collapse, but they didn't dare to disturb him or interrupt.
Try interrupting?
If you anger Chen Hao, he won't cooperate with you.
Let you wait to die!
"Everyone is considered an old friend of mine."
Chen Hao closed the report and finally raised his head: "How about this! We'll acquire them at one-fifth of their current market value."
Huh?!
The senior executives of the car companies instantly collapsed.
Although they released fake news to stabilize the stock price, it had already fallen a lot before, okay?
With the sharp drop, acquiring them at one-fifth of their market value would mean losing blood!
The key.
They never wanted to be acquired from the beginning.
What they wanted was cooperation!
"Mr. Chen!"
Rick from General Motors could no longer help but stand up: "We hope… to cooperate with your company!"
"Yes! As a century-old car company, Volkswagen really… can't accept being acquired!"
"Mr. Chen, I even treated you to dinner!"
The senior executives of the car companies almost begged.
Chen Hao was stunned.
A look of hesitation flashed in his eyes, especially when he looked at the 'old friends', he seemed a little unbearable.
"Mr. Chen!"
Ferdinand seized the opportunity: "Germany was the first country in Europe to become an ally with your country, and I even met with you on behalf of Germany. This… considering this, you can't leave us without a way out!"
