Chapter 145 Acquisition of Lamborghini

Under the introduction of the referee, Lin Johnson shook hands with Reagan. The 69-year-old presidential campaigner was surprised to hold Lin Johnson's hand and said, "Are you also a voter who supports me?"

Lin Johnson smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Reagan! I am willing to contribute my own limited strength to your campaign!"

Reagan's secretary knew the young man's background in a short time, and he muttered a few words in Reagan's ear.

Reagan's expression went from surprise to shock. He turned to Johnson Lin and said enviously: "What a magical young man! When I was so old, I was still working hard to play a small role!"

Lin Johnson smiled and said, "No! It should be said that the United States is a magical land! Mr. Reagan, if I could become the president of the United States at your age, it would be even more amazing!"

Reagan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Everything is possible, America is a free world!"

Lin Johnson nodded, he took out a check that had been prepared from his pocket and sent it to Secretary Reagan's hand, and said, "This is to help Mr. Reagan run! At the same time, I have a company called Dbr, and I hope Mr. Reagan can remember it!"

Other companies may be able to send a representative or something, so Lin Johnson had to directly report to his home.

Reagan's financial adviser took the check and carefully checked the authenticity of the check and the amount on it. He immediately showed a look of surprise on his face.

Reagan looked at the check he handed over and turned out to be a check of $5 million. He turned to look at Lin Johnson in surprise and said with a smile: "Thank you for your generous support! Mr. Lin, your age really surprised me. I won't prepare drinks for you. That's illegal! I will remember your generosity, and I also thank you very much!"

Lin Johnson achieved his goal and successfully delivered the money to Reagan. Reagan used to be the governor of California, which was equivalent to the position of governor and secretary of the provincial party committee. Such a big figure, Lin Johnson met as soon as he said that, of course, when he gave him money.

But Lin Johnson gave the money out, he was very relieved because the US president rarely took money to deal with his allies. Unless Lin Johnson broke the law or touched the bottom line of the United States.

After returning from the cocktail party, Lin Johnson was always excited that this opportunity to meet historical figures was really wonderful. When Reagan became president, I don’t know if he still remembered him like this, but Lin Johnson would let him remember it. Because he prepared more than 30 million US dollars in political donations for Reagan just to survive smoothly during his administration. At the same time, under Reagan’s monetary tightening policy, it would be even better that he could get a large amount of loans.

To put it bluntly, he wanted to do Daewoo and borrowed crazy. Of course, he had the ability to repay it.

On February 2, Johnson Lin said goodbye to Ryan and boarded the plane at Kennedy Airport. The passenger plane flew to Turing Airport, Italy.

After arriving at the airport, Stephanie was already waiting for him. The two of them immediately arrived in Santa Agata Bologne in northeastern Italy, where the headquarters of Lamborghini Company is located in this small town.

Over the past half a century, Lamborghini has created a series of extremely extraordinary dream cars, including 350 gt, miura, espada, countach (Kantash) and other classic models.

At present, Lin Johnson heard that the company was on the verge of bankruptcy, so he immediately let Stephanie know the situation, acquire the company, and contact Ferrucio Lamborghini himself.

Since Ferrucio Lamborghini sold the Lamborghini tractor factory, the financial situation has deteriorated. He is now constantly seeking financial support to support the operations of Lamborghini Automobile Company.

Stephanie and the negotiating company's team contacted Ferrugeo, and Ferrugeo certainly wanted it. At this time, he was really in desperate situation and the company was about to go bankrupt.

It was not much trouble to acquire this supercar company, and Johnson Lin acquired a 100% stake in Lamborghini for US$12 million.

Ferrugio could no longer wait. The old man was even more urgent than Lin Johnson. He kept urging Lin Johnson to pay immediately. It was really weird to do a supercar to his level!

Lin Johnson met Ferrucio, and the old man had already learned in advance that a billionaire from the East had acquired his company.

The old man was very happy, which proves that if Lamborghini was acquired by this young man, he would easily get money from this billionaire!

Lin Johnson smiled and said to Ferrugio: "Mr. Lamborghini, I hope the company will continue to develop new cars. At the same time, I will provide funds to continue to develop the military off-road vehicle Cheetah developed by the company! I also want to set up a tractor research institute, and I also hope that Mr. Lamborghini can help you!"

After hearing this, Ferrugio said excitedly: "Okay, you are already the boss of Lamborghini! The ownership and management rights of the company are yours. As long as you provide me with funds to let the company continue to develop new cars, it will definitely give you a huge surprise!"

Lin Johnson nodded and said with great certainty: "Of course, I believe my vision is fine!" He coveted his covetously when thinking of the classic Lamborghini models in later generations, but now the entire company of Lamborghini belongs to him, so I don't have to envy him anymore!

Lin Johnson visited the factory for a while. The Lamborghini factory is still a factory in the 1960s, but the factory has a lot of precision machine tools. However, Lin Johnson still decided to reinvest new technologies and equipment to build a new factory in Lamborghini!

Since Ferrucio is still not old, he will ask him to continue to manage the company's business rights until Lin Johnson finds a suitable successor.

Ferrugio didn't expect the young billionaire to be so straightforward. He just spent a huge sum of $12 million to buy his company and invest money to build a new factory!

"The tractor institute cannot relax! We need to recruit some personnel to start the research again, or do we still have the hope of buying the Lamborghini tractor factory back?" Lin Johnson asked Ferrugio.

Ferrugio shook his head regretfully and said, "At present, the Lamborghini tractor factory is controlled by the agricultural equipment manufacturer Same. This company is operating well now, and I'm afraid Same is unwilling to take action!"

Lin Johnson nodded and said regretfully: "It's so regretful! China is a country with a serious lack of agricultural machinery, and there is a broad market for agricultural tractors!"

Ferrugio's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "You know, after taking over the tractor factory, the layoffs were carried out. I have many old friends who were still here. If you think they are OK, you can rehire them! The skills of these people are guaranteed to be top-notch!"

Lin Qiangsheng saw a group of old workers in his fifties standing more than ten meters away looking at his new owner. He nodded at the same time and said, "If it is still useful, then stay!"

Ferrugio immediately spoke in Italian, and many old workers were suddenly excited, and they spoke a lot of Italian enthusiastically.

Stephanie wanted to translate it for Johnson Lin. Because she could speak Italian, Johnson Lin smiled and put on his face, saying, "I know, they are happy!"

Lamborghini is sold, and the workers don’t know what their fate will be. If the new owner wants to lay off employees, they will also lose their jobs. It is of course a happy thing for the whole factory to not drive them away.

There are currently more than 100 workers in the company, and there are more than 100 families in this town. Lin Johnson-John does not want to be hated by the people in this town. Moreover, these old workers also have the skills to make supercars and tractors, so staying behind will also help Lin Johnson-John a lot.

Lin Johnson visited a small warehouse in Lamborghini. This is the museum of Lamborghini. It displays several classic sports cars of Lamborghini.

Ferrugio said passionately to Johnson Lin: "This is a very important countach model in Lamborghini's history. This car was designed by Master Gandini. The low body and angular edges make the appearance of this car extremely aggressive. In terms of power, the Kantash was originally equipped with a 40l v12 engine, and was then replaced by a 50l and 52l engine! This is a very personalized car, and the current market performance is also very good. The company has sold 726 vehicles. In the future, it will still perform well in the market!"

Lin Johnson nodded, circled around Kantash, and said with a smile: "Well. It's still worth it for me to buy this company! After buying it, there will be products and it can be sold for money!"

Ferrugio nodded quickly and said, "Yes! Lamborghini is very promising! At present, the company has a new plan, which is to develop the next generation of Lamborghini classic models. As long as you invest in and launch this plan, Lamborghini will definitely produce a classic world-class supercar!"

Lin Johnson nodded and asked, "Do you have any ideas at the moment? Are you ready?"

When Ferrucio heard Lin Johnson's question, he immediately looked like a shriveled eggplant. He smiled awkwardly: "Not yet! But as long as you invest money, you can start the development immediately!"

"We will continue to invite the genius in the automotive design industry, Master Gandini. He will definitely create another classic model!"

Lin Johnson asked: "Money is not a problem, but how long will it take to complete this project?"

Ferrugio pondered for a while and said to Johnson Lin: "It depends on how long it took Master Gandini to design the model. If the body is sized, we can add equipment to it! Don't worry, as long as the body is designed, we will launch the product soon!"

Lin Johnson thought about it for a while. As far as he knew, the next generation of Lamborghini ghosts was indeed very classic. It took Gandini two or three years to design the body, and Lamborghini developed the entire vehicle for more than a year. At that time, Chrysler had already acquired Lamborghini and made major changes to the ghost models!

In fact, the later ghost model was not Gandini's original design. The Americans made a lot of modifications to the Gandini prototype design, and the design effect exceeded that of the Gandini Master's prototype car.

Lin Qiangsheng thought, took out a piece of white paper from his bag, took out a pen and started hand-drawing immediately.

The diablo ghost of Lamborghini can be said to be the most glorious model of Lamborghini ever, priced at least $240,000.

The wedge-shaped body, perfect drag coefficient, and simple and powerful body lines allow this car to have the ability far exceeding other supercars!

Ferrugio looked at Lin Johnson in surprise and found him hand-drawing the car body sketch!

"Oh! God! This is Lamborghini!" When Lin Johnson drew the ghost car model, Ferrucio screamed in surprise.

Lin Johnson hand-draws a sketch of the Lamborghini 90th version of the ghost, handed the drawing to Ferrucio, and said: "How long will it take to make the finished product in this way?"

"This! My Virgin Mary! This is Lamborghini! Oh, God!" Ferrugio looked at the model on the paper in shock, and really didn't know what to say.

Could this young rich man be a Gandini-level design master? (To be continued.)
