Chapter 969
Donnie Brown felt that Ford had given up a lot of money, but unfortunately, Tan Na didn't mean to save him face at all.¢£
Looking at Donny Brown coldly, Tanna's tone was full of disdain: "Give up the acquisition of Cosworth? It's so generous! But Mr. Brown, how much do you think Cosworth is worth? Even if 1% of the icq shares are worth? Who do you think this exchange is insulting?"
Donny Brown opened his mouth, but for a moment he couldn't find anything to say.
That's right, Ford Motor gave up the acquisition of Cosworth in exchange for obtaining more shares from IQ. It's not a big problem if we understand it from the most basic literal meaning. However, with IQ's current high growth, high return and high value-added rate, the value of IQ is in a loss-making state every year. It's like two people making a bun, and one of the stronger guys suddenly spoke to the other party: "I don't want the bun, I'll give it to you, give it to me more of your abalone and shark fin."
How much is half a bun worth? How much is shark fin and abalone? No matter how unreasonable Ford is, it cannot be said that half a bun is more valuable with abalone and shark fin. There is no such reason in the world.
………………………………………
The huge differences made it impossible for both sides to continue the negotiations. The talks began in less than 10 minutes. I don’t know whether it was a demonstration or to express her anger. When Donnie Brown and his group left, Tan Na did not even express the basic etiquette of being a master: she didn’t even give Donnie Brown and his group a while.
Not only did Tan Na not appear, but Lin Zheng not appear. This feeling of being ignored made the business elites in the Ford Foundation who were ready to win this negotiation curse after getting in the car.
It is understandable to curse. Lianchuang Technology's actions are undoubtedly very unreasonable. In formal business negotiations, even if everyone closes the door and beats the bloody head, once the door is opened, everyone always has to put on a face like "Hello, I'm all, we're very happy to talk". How could you, Lianchuang Technology, be like this? Because you haven't agreed, you have no basic politeness?
Donnie Brown, who had a cold face, was extremely angry and pointed at the group of elites in front of him and cursed mercilessly: "Peace? What is politeness? Can this thing be eaten as food? Can it be spent as money? How much does one pound? How much does it cost to give me two pounds first?"
Damn, what's the situation? Many of these elites who were scolding Lianchuang Technology in this way have expressed their attitude to their boss. Now they are suddenly scolded by Donny Brown, and everyone is stunned.
Fortunately, Donny Brown was not really dissatisfied with his subordinates. He was actually half-crazy by Tan Na's rude behavior. To be honest, he felt very happy when these guys cursed Lianchuang Technology. However, as the general person in charge of this negotiation and as the plenipotent representative authorized by Bill Ford, he must bear the overall responsibility for this negotiation, his personal emotions? What is that!
Although everyone was stunned by the scolding, Donny Brown's face had no sign of soothing. He continued to say unceremoniously with a cold face: "I don't know where your current optimistic attitude comes from. You are all business elites. Do you not know that if our opponents have made plans to give up Cosworth, the most important bargaining chip we use to threaten them will be gone?!
Gentlemen, I hope you will let go of your arrogance and face your opponents. Who are your opponents? They are a strategic partner like Dell and Compaq, a super giant with potential Internet companies worth more than billions of dollars, and even Ford Motor is one of their partners. For such an existence, I can't think of any reason and qualification to look down on them. But look at you, how do you do it? You are looking down on such a super rich man with a total asset of more than $1 billion!
I feel ashamed of your behavior just now. I am worried that if you are leading such an elite group of elites who cannot see themselves clearly or their opponents can complete the tasks previously scheduled by the company, I even doubt whether you can really afford the word "elite"!"
After cursing with great pleasure, Donny Brown asked the driver to stop the car with a cold face. He got into the car behind him, leaving a group of elites in the car looking at each other.
Boss is angry!
This answer made the hearts of the masters who had disagreed with today's negotiations. They were all elites, and they were blindfolded by their pride before. Now, after being scolded by Donnie Brown, they asked themselves, and they had to admit that in front of Lin Zheng, they did not seem to have anything to be proud of.
Now Lianchuang Technology says that they can give up Cosworth at any time, so how should the next negotiation be carried out?
………………………………………
How should the next negotiation be carried out? Not only are the business elites of the Ford Foundation considering this, Lin Zheng and Tan Na are also staring at Ford Motor's movements. The couple will not believe that Ford Motor will be so open and that it is normal for the war to spread outside the negotiating table.
Bill Ford did not disappoint. Soon, Ford's countermeasures came: When conducting random inspections of car audio equipment provided by Lianchuang Technology, Ford Motor's quality inspection personnel found that some of the products had serious quality problems and suspected that this batch of audio products was seriously unqualified. Next, Ford Motor will conduct a larger-scale and more detailed quality inspection of this batch of car audio products. In the fax sent to Lianchuang Technology, Ford Motor even used the obvious threatening rhetoric of "the possibility of returning all the products and raising compensation to you."
Faced with the threat from Ford, Lin Zheng seemed very calm. He flicked the fax twice, and Lin Zheng shook his head speechlessly: "Not to say, I really feel a little scared when I see their move."
"What should we do?" Compared to Lin Zheng's calmness, Jiang Zhen really couldn't laugh. Providing audio equipment for Ford Motor is not the core business of Lianchuang Technology now. However, despite this, it has a great role in boosting the corporate image in Lianchuang Technology's business system. Whenever he saw that there was Ford Motor among his partners, anyone should be respectful. Once this matter is caused by the media, it will have a great impact on Lianchuang Technology.
"What should I do," Lin Zheng looked at Jiang Zhen strangely, not understanding what he was worried about: "Lianchuang Technology is not a listed company. No matter whether it is good or bad news, it cannot have any impact on our stock price. There are only a few shareholders in the company, so there is no need to worry about shareholders taking this opportunity to affect the operation and stability of the company. Don't worry about anything, what are you afraid of?"
At this time, Lin Zheng felt that it was an extremely wise decision not to go public in Lianchuang Technology.
Lianchuang Technology has long met the requirements for listing. Even the provincial leaders have done Lin Zheng's work more than once, hoping that he can list Lianchuang Technology, but Lin Zheng's attitude is very firm in whether to go public. From beginning to end, he only had one answer: Lianchuang Technology's capital chain is in good condition, with sufficient cash reserves, no need, and no need to raise development funds in the stock market. Now it seems that the decision to not go public is too wise.
Huh? Yes, what am I afraid of?
Lin Zheng's words made Jiang Zhen stunned: Yes, the group is not a listed company, so you don't need to worry about the impact of this negative news on the company's stock price and then affecting investors' confidence; there are only three core shareholders of the company, among which Ms. Lang Xuan, the third shareholder, stayed in the United States for many years and never interfered in the company's management. In this way, even if there is a bit of negative news, you don't have to worry about the company's operation being affected. Your worries are really a bit nonsensical.
After thinking about it carefully, Jiang Zhen could only blame his mentality on the pressure that Ford brought to him was too great, which made him lose some ground.
Lin Zheng patted Jiang Zhen on the shoulder and said, "Lao Jiang, there may be some negative news coming next. As the person in charge of sales in the group, you must be prepared. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be some negative news coming these days."
"There will be negative news?" Jiang exclaimed in shock, and then wanted to give himself a mouthful.
Really, since Ford wants to put pressure on his boss in this way, of course, it is impossible to have only one move. With the urinary nature of these multinational giants, it must be a series of combined punches. It is normal for negative news to continue to appear after the negative news. He said embarrassedly: "Yes, Ford Motor will definitely have a backup plan next... Don't worry, I will stabilize our dealers and partners. I promise you that the company's business will not be affected by this."
It's OK, I've reacted, otherwise I really have to consider whether I want to change to a marketing president. Lin Zheng was speechless about Jiang Zhen's loss of compulsory behavior in this matter, but he also knew that in the face of Ford's behemoth with annual sales of 100 billion US dollars, most people kneeled when they saw it, and Jiang Zhen's reaction was actually good. He said in a deep voice: "Come on! By the way, I'll tell you the news. When IICQ is conducting the first round of IPO, I will arrange 1.2% of the shares to subscribe to the group's management."
Is 1.2% of IQ shares subscribed to Lianchuang Technology's management at iPo? Jiang Zhen was instantly shocked.
