Chapter 1277 Want to Cross-Share?
"Well, if the Burning Cabinet that Ford Jinggan insisted on was just a few more insipid... There was finally a faint arc on her pretty face, showing that Alice's love seemed to be good at the moment, "But let me personally explain to Mr. Ford first, it's one thing to allow you to hold shares, but it's not unconditional."
"Miss Alice, please." Hearing Alice say this, Bill Ford made a please
Force.
Bill Ford is not a fool, he naturally knows that Alice Group allows him to hold shares, so it is naturally impossible to have no conditions at all, and even said that the amount of shares he quoted before is just sincerity, which is equivalent to a small red envelope stuffed to the porter in ancient times, and now it is the main topic.
However, Bill Ford's requirements are not high, only that it can be seen that on the bright side, Ford Motor Group and Alice Group do not have any problems in cooperation between the two groups because of the problems in Alice Group's North American automobile production base, and can maintain Ford's current position in the North American automobile market.
Of course, if it is really possible to successfully hold a stake in this factory of the Alice Group, it will naturally bring much more to the Ford Motor Group, as long as the Alice Group does not explain it for a day. Then everyone will think deeply about the cooperation between Ford Motor Group and Alice Group. Unless the Alice Group or the Ford Group themselves stand up and explain, but the question is will Ford be stupid enough to stand up and explain?
"Even after the Ford Group holds a stake in the Alice Group's North American production plant, the name of the company will not change, and it is still under the scope of the Alice Group, and the Ford Group does not have much right to participate in the management of the enterprise; Of course, as a shareholder, from a legal point of view. The rights and obligations that shareholders should enjoy are the same as those that Ford Group must bear. Moreover, the factory is limited to production. Other aspects, Alice Group has not considered for the time being. Even if this is the case, will Mr. Ford ask for a shareholding? On such terms, Mr. Ford will be able to convince the other directors of the board of directors of the Ford Motor Group? With that, Alice turned her head to look at Bill Ford.
Xiao Chenxi's words vaguely hinted at Bilford that this factory will only be a processing plant in the future, and you don't have to think about anything else, even if this is the case, do you still want to insist on holding shares?
"Yes" In the face of these harsh conditions proposed by Dawn, Bill Ford did not even frown, and directly agreed, "These questions are not a problem. ”
In fact, before that, Bill Ford had no extravagant hopes for more than a stake in the North American automobile production base of the Achai Group.
"You should know very well to you, Mr. Ford. If you do. Although the Ford Group can make money, I am afraid that the benefits of your own Ford brand are not very good. "Alice is a little curious about Bill Ford's performance now, even though this girl has a rough idea of what made Bill Ford do this.
You don't know how many people out there want to be involved with your Alice Group! Bill Ford smiled helplessly in his heart, but it seems that so far, in the automobile market in the United States, it seems that only Ford Motor has made a fortune by relying on the big tree of Alice Group over the years, and General Motors and Chrysler Motors have been bullied by Ford Motor in the past few years.
"This isn't a big deal for Ford" Bill Ford seemed to have something he didn't want to say, and after a vague pause on the question, he walked over, "Alice has another proposal, I don't know?" ”
"Huh?" Alice turned her head, as if curious.
The problem is, this is not curiosity, but Xiao Chenxi is a little dissatisfied with Bill Ford's daring to put forward conditions: Isn't this guy a little bit inch-inch?
Although Alice was wearing a huge pair of sunglasses, Bill Ford could feel that under the delicate sunglasses, a pair of sharp falcon-like eyes were staring at him, as if as long as he said the answer and the other party was not satisfied, the matter would be a big deal.
"I wonder if Ford can use $300 million worth of Ford Motor Group shares. In exchange for a stake in the Alice Group's North American automotive production base? Than set Ford's words. With a hint of cautious tentativeness.
"If I'm not mistaken. Is Ford Motor Group planning to cross-stake with Alice Group? Alice said unconcernedly.
Although it sounded like Alice's words had not changed, as soon as Alice's words came out, a cold sweat broke out on Bill Ford's back: one thing everyone knows is that although the strength of Alice Group is already outrageous, Alice Group just insists on not going public, and Alice Group's indicators in various businesses in the United States do not meet the conditions for the United States law to force them to go public. It is true that the American business community wants to know the secret, but no one dares to inquire about it, and the Alice Group is naturally silent on this issue.
If there is really cross-shareholding, many of Alice Group's own internal secrets will be disclosed to the Ford Group, which is obviously not what Alice Group wants to see. And I suddenly cross-held with Alice Group today, if I am not careful, I am afraid that not only will cross-shareholding fail. Even the previous agreement could not be completed.
"It's not cross-shareholding in the sense of the word," Bill Ford said hurriedly, with a strong sense of explanation in his words, "although it seems that the Alice Group and the Ford Group are cross-shareholdings." However, it is only limited to the North American automobile production base of the Alice Group, and Ford Motor is only an ordinary shareholder of the North American automobile production base of the Alice Group, and can pay regular dividends every year. If you do not participate in the management of the Alice Group and the production and management of the Group's North American automobile production base, the Alice Group can make its own decisions about everything, and Ford Motor does not say anything; And the Alice Group's stake in Ford Motor. Alice Group can occupy a seat on the board of directors. ”
Offering a place on the board of directors in exchange for a shareholder who can only pay dividends without the slightest other rights seems to be a loss to the Ford Group, but Bill Ford does not see it that way. ,
Bill Ford was well aware of the conditions he had proposed. Although in the eyes of the vast majority of people, my decision seems to have suffered a loss: taking shares worth 300 million US dollars to others, in exchange for only being a shareholder who can't even put a fart, you don't have a show in your head, right? But things are not so simple, Bill Ford knows very well that the only way to tie the Ford car to the Alice Group is to the chariot. is the best way forward for Ford Motor. Relative to the $300 million, it is possible to allow even the nominal cross-shareholding of Ford Motor and Alice Group.
Even, Bill Ford argued, as long as Alice agreed to cross-shareholding in the name of the two parties. That sentence alone is worth at least $300 million. Even if the range of this cross-shareholding is only a very small range.
Don't think that businessmen only focus on their own little profits, the Ford family can make such a big business. And they have insisted on not falling for nearly a hundred years, naturally because they have done what others have not done, and have a long-term vision that ordinary people can hardly imagine.
Oh, that's what the ancient Chinese dynasties did in ancient times, as long as you admit that you are my vassal, then what benefits will I give you? Zhang Lan, who was sitting on the side looking at the small lake, listened to Bill Ford's words, and almost choked on the juice in his mouth: the only difference is that this vassal is now crying and shouting to give benefits to this powerful centralized government to pounce on as a vassal of others, rather than like the central government in ancient China, as long as you recognize my leadership position, I will give you great benefits.
"If that's the case," just when Bill Ford was anxiously looking at the fish he was grilling on the barbecue grill in the distance, Alice's beautiful voice like a fairy voice finally rang in Bill Ford's ears, "Then I hope we have a happy cooperation!" ”
Miss Alice meant," Bill Ford was instantly pleasantly surprised, not even knowing what he was saying, and he was at a loss like a little virgin who was about to kiss his beloved girl for the first time.
"What I mean, isn't Mr. Ford already clear?" Alice held up the juice glass in her hand, "Cheers." ”
On the way to Germany, things changed again, in fact, it can't be described as a change, Bill Ford, who originally did not plan to go to Frankfurt, Germany to participate in the auto show, after reaching a crucial cooperation agreement with Alice for Ford Auto Specialty, Bill Ford immediately ordered to go down to prepare a special plane and procedures for himself to Germany, and he will follow Miss Alice to Germany to participate in the Frankfurt Motor Show! The Ford family, if the family doesn't even have a special plane, then this joke is really a big joke.
In this guy's words, it is: I'm going to cheer for the Claris Group.
Leave your own products alone, you go to cheer us up? Zhang Lan smiled and shook her head secretly: This guy. Interesting! Obviously thinking of this opportunity to show off to the major automobile manufacturers that they have reached a "strategic cooperation agreement" with Alice Group, and they are so high-sounding
