Chapter 734 - A Business Genius from China

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't let go of his face, Rolls-Royce, which has the most complete powertrain design factory in the UK, would have been fully developing the private market, and there was no need for Liu Lang to use this bizarre idea to catalyze.

Even the stubborn white-haired old man is already very excited. In fact, he knows very well that the reason why Rolls-Royce stubbornly guards more high-end military supplies is actually related to the current economy of Britain or the whole of Europe.

Because of the sudden economic crisis in the United States a few years ago, the European continent has not escaped, the entire economy has been in recession for more than ten years, although the upper class nobles are still enjoying the glory left by their ancestors, but the entire bottom of the people is economically stretched, and the unemployment rate has repeatedly climbed to new highs.

There is also a reason why Rolls-Royce is still not optimistic about the civilian market, and what is even more terrible is that if Rolls-Royce finally goes bankrupt, nearly 10,000 workers will be unemployed, which will have a huge impact on the entire British society.

Now it seems that the development of lower-end rural markets may be another way out for Rolls-Royce. Rofos has already approved Liu Lang's proposal, but Liu Lang's proposal of 15 percent of the shares is too high.

Even his Henry family, from the initial 51 percent of the shares of the Rolls-Royce company, has now been diluted to 30 percent after several rounds of financing, if the so-called Chinese consortium in the young man's mouth hopes to get 15 percent, then the Henry family's voice in the Rolls-Royce company will not only be reduced again, not to mention, the Chinese consortium may become the third largest shareholder in one fell swoop, which is too dangerous for the Rolls-Royce company, which has mastered the powertrain technology of the British Navy and Air Force.

The Imperial Cabinet may not have agreed to such a takeover.

"In addition to the three jumpers that can be promoted to the majority of rural use, we can not give up urban customers, for the city, we can develop SUVs, that is, multi-functional passenger cars, high terrain, large space, absolutely a good helper for families; There are also pickup trucks, which can both pull goods and carry people, even if they are noble, they will not refuse such a practical vehicle. Liu Lang dropped a bombshell again in front of the white-haired old man who was still a little hesitant.

The SUV model drawn on paper is definitely an epoch-making product in this era, and for the president of Rofors, who owns an automobile factory, this epoch-making product is definitely a design that can be welcomed by the general public.

As Liu Lang said, SUVs that are compatible with the comfort of sedans, as well as have higher ground and more space, can definitely become the darling of urban residents. In fact, 70 years later, the booming sales of this so-called SUV utility passenger car have proven it.

Compared with the first two, pickup trucks are not a new thing, they appeared in the United States as early as ten years ago, and they have long become a popular car design on the American continent. However, after the emergence of these two vehicle designs, and then using the pickup car as a buffer, Rolls-Royce from the high-end sedan to the SUV to the lower-grade pickup truck to the lowest-grade three-jumper, it can be said that it completely covers the entire passenger car market.

The best thing is that with such a layered product structure, who will pay attention to and laugh at the always tall Rolls-Royce company to do such a low-grade thing as "three jumpers"? That shows that the company has comprehensive technology and wide product coverage.

At this moment, the white-haired old man only opened his mouth to agree to all Liu Lang's requests, and his eyes were completely different when he looked at Liu Lang. If the idea of proposing the three-jumper design and eye-catching with the so-called car model was just a little crooked young man in his eyes, now, he is definitely a sales wizard.

But Liu Lang's surprise didn't stop there.

"I also know that the economic situation in the UK or Europe as a whole is not very good, and many people may want to buy a car but can't afford it, but it doesn't matter, we can let customers pay in installments!" Liu Lang dropped the last bombshell.

"How about an installment?" The white-haired old man felt that the new term he had heard today was definitely the most he had heard in a day in his life.

"Customers can make a small down payment, and then the remaining balance can be divided into three or five years to be repaid monthly. For example, a Rolls-Royce multi-purpose passenger car, note that it is not the kind of hand-built engine that your brother and his partner Mr. Lawrs advocate and costs more than 2,000 pounds, the price is tentatively set at 600 pounds, and an ordinary Englishman's annual income is probably only 500 pounds, then he must not be able to afford it, then it is easy to do, only need him to pay a down payment of 200 pounds, and the remaining 400 pounds will be repaid according to 36 months, plus an annual interest rate of about six percent. He only needs to pay back thirteen pounds a month. Liu Lang patiently explained to the white-haired old man this installment payment method from the future.

The white-haired old man was completely stunned. Liu Lang is no longer a sales wizard, but a business genius, 300 pounds can drive home a Rolls-Royce car that has been famous in Europe and even the Americas, which is definitely a huge temptation for the majority of urban residents, and a dozen pounds a month is not unbearable for the vast majority of people.

The white-haired old man has even imagined how huge the purchasing power of the whole of Britain or Europe would be if this instalment method was implemented, and if the production plants were not expanded in advance, the orders could make people wait for a year.

"However, Rolls-Royce can no longer afford to pay so much money in advance, let alone a thousand, even a hundred is difficult." Faced with such a tempting huge cake, the white-haired old man could only say gloomily.

"Naturally, Rolls-Royce will not be used to pay in advance, and the overseas branch of China Huashang Group will bear this cost, but the sun never sets is needed to make a credit guarantee for the people, but because the profits generated by the annual interest will only be shared by the bank and the China Commercial Group, it doesn't matter about Rolls-Royce." Regarding the white-haired old man's worries, Liu Lang replied confidently.

Liu Lang is of course confident that as long as sulfonamides are marketed in Europe, the profits in Europe alone will be enough to pay for this huge loan to the British people. Liu Lang does not care about the annual profit value of 6%, his purpose is to use this to impress the shareholders of the entire Rolls-Royce company, and enter the company with the world's highest aero engine technology in the future.

Even, even if it is to pay the profits of the entire European sulfonamide sales, Liu Lang does not hesitate. Even Liu Lang knew that in more than four years, Britain and France, who sat back and watched Poland be wiped out by the mustache, would be forced to participate in the war, tens of thousands of British civilians would die in this war, and many loans would become dead debts. But what Liu Lang wants now is not money, but China's future.

What's more, the entire British people owe a huge favor to the Chinese business group, which is not comparable to hundreds of thousands or even millions of pounds.

"Young man, I have to say that you have impressed me, but my bottom limit is seven percent of the shares, otherwise, I will not be able to give an account to the Henry family, nor can I say that I can move the consent of the Cabinet of Ministers, the Minister of the Navy and Air Force, or even Her Majesty." The white-haired old man took a deep breath and said his bottom line directly.

Liu Lang's genius-like assumption completely moved Henry. Rofus. At this time, President Henry may not have thought that he was only thinking about getting through the difficulties, and this young man from the East not only allowed Rolls-Royce to survive the difficulties for three years, but also made Rolls-Royce have sufficient funds to restart the air-cooling test three years earlier than in the previous time and space, and increased the horsepower of the famous engine of the Grayback Falcon, also known as Merlin, which was famous for its Spitfire during World War II, by 10 percent, and completely suppressed the BF109 of the Third Reich, the enemy of his life, making the Spitfire the most popular fighter in the early days of the Great War. It also propelled Rolls-Royce to the pinnacle of global aero engine manufacturing.

With a little trepidation, Henry. Rofos probably never thought that he would have such expectations for a young man from backward China, not expecting him to agree, but expecting him not to open his mouth too much when he made a counteroffer, his real bottom line is nine percent of the shares, which is already the limit that the entire Henry family can bear, otherwise, they are very likely to lose control of the company, which is by no means what his brother, who has just passed away for half a year, wants to see in heaven.

"Okay, then seven percent." Liu Lang agreed.

。。。。。。

The president of Rolls-Royce was excited about the deal but still a little depressed, so why didn't he make a counteroffer? Could it be that the price is too high?

Yes, Liu Lang originally thought that it would be five percent at most, but he didn't expect the white-haired old man to offer such a high price, so why not swallow it in one bite?
