Almighty Athlete Chapter 223: China Power

Ross Brown looked at Fukui, and he was very satisfied with the results of his negotiations. He continued: "Mr. Fukui, we can pay you the money to buy the team, but we will not bear the debt of the original Honda team. . Burning Document Library"

"You can pay for it, 170 million US dollars!" Fukui was a little irritated at this time, and directly said a price equivalent to the fleet debt.

"I'm afraid this price is difficult to accept. I think 5ooo million is a more appropriate price!" Ross Brown directly lowered the price to less than 30%.

"5ooo million dollars want to buy a Formula One team? Huh! Mr. Brown, it is not 1999, but 2oo9!" Fukui said with a disgruntled expression.

"A Formula One team? I don’t think so! Maybe it’s just an empty shell, an empty office, an empty design base, an empty windy, empty test field, no technicians, no designers. There is no operator, oh, maybe there will be several cleaning workers." Ross Brown said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Fukui eyes widened.

Ross Brown smiled slightly, he opened his briefcase, took out a thick stack of envelopes from inside, shook it in front of Fukui, and then said: "These are resignation letters, I just give them You name a few names! Nick Frye, deputy team manager and cfo; Zander, deputy team technical director; Biggers, aerodynamics supervisor; Ruernes, maintenance supervisor..."

Ross Brown said a few names on his face, all of whom are in important positions in the Honda team. And the face of Fukui opposite has become more difficult to look.

"Mr. Fukui, if these people resign, I think the Honda team will become an empty shell! And if these people are gathered together, it should not be a problem to get a new team! Of course! At present, these resignation letters have just been sent to me. If I can successfully buy the team, I am confident that I can keep them." Ross Brown said.

Ross-Brown’s subtext has been very clear. If Fukui does not sell the team, he will dig out the backbone of the team, reorganize a new team, and a Honda without backbone talent The team, I am afraid there is really nothing left!

Fukui has no doubt that Ross Brown has this ability. For others, regrouping a team may be a very complicated matter, but with Ross Brown’s network and prestige at the racing festival, Even from scratch, he has the ability to build a Formula One team.

The anger filled Fukui’s heart. He wished to kill Ross Brown, who was just forcing the palace and threatening him with the resignation of these employees to sell the team.

However, anger turned into anger, but reality forced him to agree to Ross Brown’s request to sell the team to Ross Brown and at least have a sum of money to relieve Honda’s economic pressure. If you take those people away, Honda Racing won't even get the money.

"Mr. Brown, 5 million dollars is really too little. I think since it is a negotiation, both of us should come with sincerity. I hope that Mr. Brown can give us a sincere price!" Fukui finally conceded defeat .

"Of course, we are very sincere, and what I just said is just a unilaterally more ideal price. Negotiations, of course, the best results are acceptable to both parties. The price We can talk about it slowly." Ross Brown instantly became a docile sheep.

However, everyone present knows that at this point in the negotiations, the rest depends on how much price Rory Brown can hold down!

......

Ross-Brown’s method is not that glorious, it can even be said to be a bit mean. If it was put in the past, Ross-Brown might not do this kind of thing, but now it’s different. Rose Brown spent his own money.

Former Ross Brown, whether in Williams, Benetton or Ferrari, was considered a successful wage earner, but at that time he spent his boss’s money and ruined it. The boss's money is not distressed, anyway, you can take the ticket back to reimburse.

But this time Ross Brown is a partner of the new team and one of the bosses. The boss’s money can be ruined, but his own money has to be calculated one by one, so Ross Brown also started to use some looks Not very glorious means, bought the Honda team.

......

After a long negotiation, the two sides finally reached a consensus on the price. The final price they negotiated was 80 million US dollars. The new team will fully accept the fixed assets and staff of the old team, but the Honda team’s debt will continue to be Honda Corporation undertakes.

8ooo million dollars, less than half of the debt owed by the Honda team, Honda has to pay another 9ooo million dollars to make up the remaining holes, but for Honda, it can be in this economic crisis. In the era of 8,000, the recovery of 80 million funds is already a very good result.

And Ross Brown is quite satisfied with the price. The 8 million US dollars bought are all positive assets, no debts, and the team’s personnel and equipment are all available, which means that it is immediately available. 8ooo million dollars to buy a ready-made team, Ross Brown thinks it is worth it.

There is no objection to this price Zhang Guan. I am afraid no one in the world knows the team's price better than Ross Brown. Since Ross Brown thinks it is worth it, it must be worth it.

US$80 million for the team, Zhang Guan invested US$50 million, Ross Brown spent US$30 million, and the agreed equity ratio of the two parties, Zhang Guan accounted for 6o%, Ross Brown accounted for 4o%, and Zhang Guan lost 20 million US dollars, but there is left Ross Brown. In the racing world, the talents of Ross Brown are not comparable to those of 2 million dollars~IndoMTL.com~ And Ross Brown has expressed that he is willing to give up his salary next year, like Ross -A person like Brown is eligible for an annual salary of tens of millions, which is obviously also Ross Brown saving money for the team.

Of course, if Zhang Guan becomes a driver, he is willing to pay for the next season for free without salary.

......

"We finally have our own team. I really didn't expect that I would become the owner of a team one day!" Ross Brown couldn't hide his excitement. He continued: "Now wait for the International Automobile Federation After approving this acquisition, all of our procedures have been completed. Now it seems that we can still catch up with the last concentrated test before the start of the game!"

Zhang Guan smiled and nodded, then said: "Mr. Brown, now we still need to give our team a name, we can’t continue to call Honda team! Do you have any good suggestions for this? "

"You are the majority shareholder, or you decide it!" Ross Brown doesn't care much about it.

"I want to sell the naming rights of the team again..." Zhang Guan said.

"We have just acquired a team on the verge of bankruptcy, and we have not achieved any decent results. The naming rights cannot be sold at any price. And if we sell the naming rights now, our team will improve in the future. Wasn't it a loss at the time?" Ross Brown said straightforwardly.

"The same is said!" Zhang Guan thought for a while and said: "There has never been a team from China in Formula One. Since this is the case, I want to call it "China Power"!"
