Chapter 154 I want to buy a Maserati

As soon as Monica Beluci met, he threw himself into Cang Yaozu's arms and kissed him passionately. Gisele Bangchen, who had no intention of this, did not want to be outdone and gave a hug and kissed him like a dragonfly.

This made Ginny Elkan, who saw this scene, despise Cang Yaozu, a scumbag who mounts two boats!

John Elkan was very calm. The two siblings were both handsome and beautiful, and they were about the same age as Cang Yaozu and Gisele Bundchen.

On the plane, Ginny Elkan and Gisele Bundchen were able to chat. Ginny's grandfather Paul Elkan was once the president of Dior, and he talked about natural topics in the fashion circle.

Now seeing the interaction between these three people, from the movements and expressions of several people, Ginny Elkan knew that the relationship between these three people was very unusual.

"Welcome, welcome the distinguished Mr. Elcan and Miss here to visit."

"Mr. Kura, you're welcome. Our Elcan family and the Bronfman family have a lot of contacts. They are all Jewish and are all in New York, with very small circles.

However, I only recently learned that Edgar became the little boss of Purple Lily. I heard it was your idea? Don’t you know that our Juventus Club and Purple Lily are mortal enemies?"

"Oh, is that right? I really don't know, didn't you sell Vieri to Purple Lily? You don't look like you are mortal enemies?"

"The hostility is mainly between the fans, and there is not that obvious hostility between our clubs. Vieri played a few games after going to Purple Lily. He scored a few goals and you made a profit."

Cang Yaozu: "It has nothing to do with me. I am the boss of Bai Baihe Hotspur and I have nothing to do with Zi Baihe."

John Elkan: "Edgar told me that he was not interested in football."

Edgar: "Yeah, I'm really not interested in football. I'm only interested in music. If it's sports, it's at most rugby and basketball."

Cang Yaozu glared at Edgar. Was this guy slapped the face on the spot?

"Edgar, you badegg." Edgar was obviously not a trustworthy guy, and Cang Yaozu made a small conclusion.

"You are the hypocritical person, you said you like Maserati's sports car and want to buy her, but your team doesn't even have a Maserati, a big liar." Ginny Elkan obviously couldn't stand Cang Yaozu's behavior.

"Haha, Miss Elcan, I don't like the cars in the fleet, they are just tools for transportation. I, well, different from you, you have been rich for generations and are from a famous family. I really started from scratch. I still owe the bank, customers, Bronfman's family, so much money, how dare I buy a luxury car? Otherwise, Miss Elcan, please give me one, drive it?"

"Bah, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. Giselle, let's go to have a meal. Didn't you say there is Chinese food? By the way, are you with this guy? What's the relationship between Monica and him? Are you so angry now?"

As the words went away, Cang Yaozu's face was a little dark, "John, who was thinking of bringing this person? Do you think my backyard is not messy enough, right?"

"Mr. Cang, forgive me, forgive me. My family has spoiled my little sister over the years. She just fights with you and has no bad intentions."

"Ayao, this little girl likes movies very much. Her dream is to be a film director, so she has always been close to me. Now that Universal Pictures belongs to you, she just wants to come over to worship the pier."

"How could she pay such a visit to the dock? She doesn't pay to the dock. She's playing the stage. What's the point of being a director? There are so many film companies in Italy, but she can still go to the right place? Do you dare to say something wrong in Cecchigoli?"

"Curious, mainly curious. She came here to see what you, a guy who wants to buy Maserati, looks like?"

"Okay, let's have a meal first, try the dishes I've cooked for you myself, let's go, Monica."

"Okay, Ayao!" Monica came up and took Cang Yaozu's arm. This woman was much more proactive than other women of Cang Yaozu.

Everyone started eating Chinese food. Among the three dishes Cang Yaozu made, there were two spicy ones, one Mapo tofu, and the other was a couple's lung slices, which were actually cold dishes. It was indeed very homely.

After dinner, Melissa took her three girls to visit the villa. Cang Yaozu, Edgar Jr. and John Elkan sat on the terrace on the second floor to chat. The sun was good today, and I could see someone surfing in the sea, but I didn’t even bother the water.

"Mr. Kurakura, your place is really good. It seems that I want to buy a house in Malibu. Oh, Mr. Kurakura, do you really want to buy Maserati?"

"Call me Ayao, John, yes, I want to buy Maserati Company. I have always had this idea. The last time I went to Italy, I actually wanted to talk to you, but I didn't find any chance."

"But Ayao, you are a Chinese, it is very difficult to win an internationally renowned car company."

"John, I only want Maserati, not the engine R&D department and personnel. The core technology is still in your hands. If you operate this way, it will be no difficulty."

"Ah, then how do you build cars? Are all engines purchased from outside?"

"Yes, I also want 10% of Ferrari's shares. All Maserati's future engines use Ferrari."

"If this is the case, it's not possible. What conditions are you going to give? How much funds are you going to pay?"

"No hurry, I have another requirement, that is, I want the 75% stake in Margaux Winery you hold. You also know that I have the Sigram Wine Company that Edgar forced me to, and I need to make a red wine industry layout."

"Margaux is a hot item. In recent years, Ms. Corinna Menzepoulos has managed her very well. You have a big appetite, so what chips can you take out?"

"I have some bargaining chips in my hands, it depends on whether you are interested. The first is that I can help you get in touch with BAIC, reach cooperation, and establish Yandu Fiat. You can hold up to 50% of the shares in this plan.

The alternative plan is that my Tesla will set up a subsidiary, also called Yandu Fiat, using your technology and car model brands, but you will do all your business by yourself, and the ownership of the technology is limited to this company. Tesla holds 90% of the shares, and the remaining 10% is given to Yandu City. Then I will use the shares in Ferrari as collateral and sign an agreement with you. When the domestic policy relaxes, I will transfer all the shares to you. This is considered to be an open plank road to cross Chencang, well, play a skewer."

"This is good, but Ferrari is a group company. If you give you equity, you must first split it up."

"Then split Ferrari and go directly to Citigroup to go public. If you are such a good brand, it will be a waste of resources if you don't put it on the market."

"Is it true that all the ownership of Yandu's company belongs to us?"

"Really, we can sign a secret agreement, and give you the right to operate and voting rights to control the right, but to be honest, your Fiat model is a bit low, and it is difficult to sell it in China.

If you really go, my suggestion is to either find someone to do research and development and develop cooler models, or to go directly to Alfa Romeo.

You can import all the key components of the engine, and localize the others to reduce costs. It is certain to make money. In the early stage, 200,000 vehicles per year, and 500,000 vehicles per year in five years, it is easy to do it."

“There are so many sales?”

"In less than ten years, Volkswagen's cars will last for less than ten years. The sales of millions of vehicles will start every year. Even if we are almost there, we can't be much different. I can invest 2 billion Huaxia coins in this Yandu Fiat, and the ownership belongs to you."

"Okay, I can't make the decision, but I understand what you mean. Let's talk about the second point first."

"The second point is that you know, I actually don't want to buy gasoline cars, so I buy a Maserati to sell luxury sports cars, and I can also serve Ferraris. Well, I have a super luxury 4S store in Yandu, and I sell three types of Ferrari, Maserati and Tesla.

My Tesla will be a pure electric sports car, Maserati is a luxury sports car, and Ferrari is a supercar, which does not conflict with each other. I can guarantee that all three of them are famous and sales. In addition, I can give you 5% of Tesla shares, and the exchange conditions are to give Tesla some patent authorization and technical support. I can guarantee you that within 20 years, Tesla will be a company worth hundreds of billions of dollars."

"You can consider the 4S store, but you guarantee that it is more like bragging and not very credible."

"A car company with a total of 100 billion US dollars is really not easy to win the trust. If you don't want this 5% stake, don't regret it in the future. I can also give you 1% of icq shares, and icq will be listed this year. Like Edgar and others, I will sign a guaranteed repurchase clause. By the end of 1999, I will buy back the 1% stake for a price of 1 billion US dollars."

"You are all forward income, no cash."

"Although your Fiat has declined significantly in recent years, you are still not short of money for the time being. What you lack is actually a new growth point. So, isn't it good to change to a longer-term return with a higher return?

In recent years, you have invested less and less money in R&D, but your debts are getting higher and higher every year. If you don’t make any changes, I believe that by 2000, your debts will reach 5 billion or even 6 billion US dollars.”

"What you call change is to cooperate with you, one, open up the Chinese market, two, Ferrari will split and list, three, sell Maserati in exchange for some cash and shares of Tesla, a pure electric car company, right?"

"Well, basically that's it. The global automobile market is shrinking, and only China's automobile sales are still climbing. It will start to explode after 2000 and will explode after 2005. And you Fiat, vigorously develop the Latin American market and Eastern European market, but these markets are unreliable. You cannot enter North America, Europe, and East Asia, and the local market has declined significantly, and your crisis is near. Mr. Anelli is old, but you are still very young. I think you can't be so conservative anymore."

"Okay, I understand, let's do it today. I will call my grandfather to discuss your suggestions."

"Okay, John, your room is on the first floor, I'll take you there."

"Thanks!"

Edgar Little again saw Cang Yaozu playing the trick of making money by making money. Basically, he invested 2 billion Huaxia coins to build a car factory, which was nominally in his own hands. 1% of IQ shares are worth 1 billion US dollars and will be cashed out in three years, and 5% of Tesla shares are worth 5 billion US dollars, but it will not be cashed out in 20 years.

Fiat also needs to authorize patents and technical support, well, you also need to obtain Maserati, 10% of Ferrari, and 75% of Margaux Winery. What is this not just a waste of money? You have such a big face!

In fact, what Cang Yaozu wants is not the core assets of the Agnelli family, but it gives a rapidly growing Chinese automobile market. Although the shares are all valuations, it is not unacceptable.

John Elkan returned to the room and looked at the table below. It was not too late. He called Italy. He directly found his grandfather, Old Agnelli, and told Cang Yaozu's goals and conditions, so that Old Agnelli could think about the gains and losses.

Old Agnelli told him that at 8 a.m. tomorrow in Italy, he would first tell the group about his own judgment, and then the group would hold a meeting for discussion.

John Elkan hanged up the phone and started to think about it. Starting with a simple matter, Margaux Winery does not involve the core industry of the Agnelli family, nor does it participate in the operation. It can be sold to Cang Yaozu and asked him to integrate through the Sigram winery company. This is also beneficial to Margaux. I believe Ms. Corina Menzepoulos should not particularly object to this. This article can be agreed.

The valuation of icq's shares is not a big problem. With the current crazy rise in Nasdaq, even if the valuation of icq cannot exceed 100 billion, the 50 billion US dollars is relatively reliable. The growth rate of registered users of icq is amazing. There is still no strong competitor of icq in the market. The company's prospects are promising, not to mention that there are guaranteed repurchase terms, which is equivalent to a bet or a bet that is beneficial to one's own side, which is guaranteed.

It is not a big problem to use some automobile manufacturing technology authorization to exchange for 5% of Tesla shares. Anyway, Tesla is an electric car, with core engines, clutches, and gearbox components. Moreover, Maserati also has some technology. It is acceptable to sell Maserati. The positioning of this brand overlaps with Ferrari, but it is obviously not as famous and valuable as Ferrari.

Cang Yaozu only needs Maserati, but does not have the engine department and related technologies. It should be because he agrees more with the development route of pure electric vehicles, which is just right for Ferrari to get some long-term engine orders.

Ferrari will be listed on the spin-off and give Cang Yaozu 10% of its shares. It is no problem. Overall, it is because there is too little cash, and cash is exactly what the group needs the most, so this point must be raised.
