Chapter 88: A Big Gamble

"You want to buy Aston Martin?"

Ulrich? Bates was taken aback, and the whole person looked at Yang Huan in amazement.

Even, no matter how harsh the conditions Yang Huan put forward now, he would not be so shocked.

A Chinese who wants to buy Aston Martin?

"What's the problem?" Yang Huan was very calm and looked at Ulrich very calmly? Bates.

The German Mediterranean shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Don't joke with me, Mr. Yang Huan, I am very serious about discussing with you how to solve this lawsuit, you should be able to feel my sincerity." ”

Yang Huan can indeed feel it, because Ulrich? Bates waited three days in Southampton.

"Then I will also sue you, the best and most effective way to solve Aston Martin is to sell it to me and become my thing, then naturally there will be no problem of zài left hand hitting right hand."

Speaking of this, Yang Huan also showed a confident smile, "And I'm sure you know it very well, David?" Richards can't give you anything at all, his plan to bring Aston Martin to the Formula 1 circuit has completely failed, and Aston Martin is now in debt. ”

"However, once Aston Martin is owned by me, I will provide you with ample funds to invest in research, otherwise, I believe you should know better than me that within two years, Aston Martin will be completely squeezed out of the ranks of the top car brands and lose the last aristocratic halo."

Yang Huan's strong self-confidence, as well as his words, made Ulrich? Bates was shocked.

He could see that Yang Huan had learned about Aston Martin.

Ulrich? Bates was not a pedantic British diehard, and he once said something controversial in public that he did not even dare to say it a second time.

"Aston Martin has to be produced abroad!"

This has been criticized by countless Aston Martin fans, because in their opinion, only in the UK can the original flavor of Aston Martin and the strong British aristocratic style be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

But they forgot another thing, a business needs cost control.

David? Richards runs a business that revolves around racing technology and vehicle tuning projects, with the largest customers coming from the teams on the circuit, the business is so fragmented that there simply don't have enough money to buy Aston Martin.

A very important reason why he was able to take over Aston Martin from Ford in 2oo7 is that he successfully acquired Aston Martin from Ford for 475 million pounds through financing, which attracted the support of two large investment companies in Kuwait.

Yang Huan feels that there have been similar cases in the field of football.

That's Manchester United.

The Glazer family's use of money and leverage to swallow up big and eat Manchester United has turned the most lucrative club in football overnight into the most heavily indebted club.

In the same way, Ulrich? Since Bates took over Aston Martin, he has forged ahead, and from 2001 to 2007, it took six years to increase the annual sales of Aston Martin tenfold to 7,400 units, which is the best sales performance in Aston Martin's history.

But with the advent of the subprime mortgage crisis and the European debt crisis, David? Richards' approach to financing is problematic, and instead of continuing to invest more and further consolidate Aston Martin's achievements in the previous six years, he is constantly sucking blood from Aston Martin.

Coupled with the impact of the economic crisis, Aston Martin's sales have gradually declined since the peak of 2oo7, and it is expected that the sales volume of the whole 2o1o year is expected to be about 4,000 units, and the annual revenue is about 470 million pounds, with a loss of more than 30 million pounds.

In other words, not only do they not have the money to invest in new car development, but even the company's ability to maintain normal operations may be a problem.

This is why Yang Huan ordered four One-77s before, but they have not been delivered yet.

Ulrich? Bates looked at Yang Huan with complexity, he never thought that he just wanted to settle a lawsuit, but now the situation was completely unexpected.

He has no doubt that the current chairman of the board of directors of Aston Martin, David? Richards wanted to sell Aston Martin, which he had been wanting to do since his plans to enter the Formula 1 circuit fell through, but he didn't wait for the right buyer.

As the executive officer of Aston Martin, he watched the sales of his rival Ferrari climb steadily, and watched Volkswagen's Bentley turn a profit, while Aston Martin gradually declined.

It's just that Yang Huan can really become the savior of Aston Martin?

…………

…………

Yang Huan saw Ulrich? Bates was silent, thinking about the problem with a distressed expression, and he didn't bother.

For Aston Martin, this is truly a big deal.

But for him Yang Huan, it's not a big deal.

At best, it's part of his business plan.

However, the game also seems to be with Ulrich? Bates was distressed and reached a stalemate.

Throughout the first half, Southampton fell into a scoreless situation, Poyet did a good job in terms of targeted tactics, Isco is still young in the end, it is difficult to help Southampton open up the situation.

'It seems that the midfield still needs to be further transformed.

The midfield is like a man's waist for a team.

The waist is stiff, the talent is strong, and so is the team.

Southampton made a change in the second half, and James Hammes? Both Rodriguez and Neymar began to drop back more to get involved in the midfield and pushing down the wings. Alaba and Carvajal were also actively involved in the attack.

This immediately enlivened Southampton's entire attack.

Ibrahimovic was at the front of the pack like a bridgehead for Southampton, with the team's entire attack revolving around him, pushing the Swedish centre-forward's individual ability and penalty dominance to the extreme.

Brighton's stubborn resistance didn't last long.

Less than ten minutes into the second half, Brighton were once again breached by Southampton.

This time, it was Ibrahimovic who doubled the lead for Southampton after a juggling smash in front of Brighton centre-back Painter Painter.

With two goals trailing, Brighton completely lost the determination to resist at the end and were defeated.

After Southampton took advantage of the victory, Ibrahimovic scored a brace, and the British native player Lambert, who replaced the Swedish center forward, scored another goal to finally lock the score at 4:o!

Southampton easily and neatly beat their top rivals of the season at St Mary's.

The game also left Brighton feeling depressed and humiliated, but manager Poyet said after the game that Brighton were convinced and admitted Southampton were the favourites to win the League One title this season.

After the first battle, the whole of Southampton was plunged into a sea of joy, and almost everyone seemed to see the moment when Southampton was promoted to the Championship.

Yang Huan's mood was also extremely happy because the team defeated the opponent.

What excites him even more is that Southampton's excellent form after beating Brighton has not dropped at all, and they have also beaten their opponents in the English League Championship and the FA Cup to advance to the next round.

Southampton's astonishing offensive storm, under the publicity and care of many influential media such as BBc, South Echo, Independent TV, etc., has quickly attracted a lot of attention in the entire British football scene.

Even in Europe and around the world, countless fans are cheering for this team in the lower leagues, but with a vote of top stars, looking forward to the opportunity to compete with the top teams.

And when Yang Huan led the team to be invincible in British football.

At the headquarters of Yang's Group in Longhai City, Yang Wenfeng encountered an extremely headache.

This time, in the shortest possible time, he mobilized all the resources and channels of all aspects of the company to collect all relevant intelligence.

A high-level meeting was urgently convened at the headquarters of the Yang Group.

…………

…………

Zhang Ning came to the headquarters of Yang's Group.

When she walked through the door, she couldn't help but think of the first time she had been here.

It was the day after she was adopted by Yang Huan.

Before coming to the headquarters of Yang's Group, Yang Huan also took a special trip to the most expensive luxury shopping mall in Longhai to buy a lot of things.

She spent more money that day than she had spent in the past twenty years.

So, she was very impressed.

"Miss Zhang, Dong Yang is already waiting for you in the conference room."

As soon as the front desk lady saw Zhang Ning, she immediately greeted her.

"Okay, thank you!" Zhang Ning nodded politely and went straight to the elevator.

But I was wondering in my heart, what was going on when I suddenly called myself to a meeting?

Since it is to come to the company, it must be a business matter.

This also made Zhang Ning relax a little, and she was always a little afraid to face Yang Huan's family now.

Ding, the elevator arrived.

As soon as Zhang Ning stepped out of the elevator door, Yang Wenfeng's secretary had already received the news, stood outside the door and waited for her, and took her directly to the conference room.

Pushing open the door and entering, Zhang Ning was surprised by what he saw in front of him.

She is now, not only all the senior management of the Yang Group, but even Mr. Yang Baoping is sitting in the middle of the city.

Everyone was watching her as she entered.

However, from the eyes of these people, she didn't feel even the slightest distraction, and some were just stern.

"Zhang Ning, you're here!" Yang Wenfeng turned around and greeted her.

Yang ...... Grandpa, Mr. Yang. Zhang Ning greeted Yang Baoping and his son.

In response to Yang Baoping's smile and nod, Yang Wenfeng directly motioned for her to sit down in an empty seat not far from him.

If the seats are divided according to status and importance, then Zhang Ning is undoubtedly very important.

This is definitely not only because she took over WeChat China, but also because she represents Yang Huan behind her.

The only heir to the Yang Group in the future.

After everyone was seated, Yang Wenfeng, the convener of the meeting, stood up.

"I urgently asked everyone to come to the meeting today, mainly because I want to discuss one thing."

With Yang Wenfeng's words, the secretary immediately distributed a thick text for every high-level person present.

Zhang Ning also got a copy in her hand, and after opening it, she was surprised.

The article comes from Yang Huan, who proposed to his father to carry out a huge bottom-buying plan in the UK, which has already amounted to a billion pounds in the early stage, which will include automobiles, yachts, jewelry, wine and many other fields.

After Zhang Ning saw this article, his first feeling was that his heart was pounding.

She wondered if Yang Huan was crazy?

Now that the global economy is so depressed, it is proposed to carry out such a big business plan in the UK?

But when she patiently looked down, she had to admit that this plan was indeed tempting.

Especially the blueprint for the future outlined by Yang Huan.

But either way, it's a big gamble.

A high-stakes gamble.
