Muye Science and Technology's strength in the field of internet is too strong, sometimes it makes others underestimate its strength in other fields.

Most people always have a thinking. If someone does a good job in this area, then he must be inferior to this aspect in other aspects.

Bill Ford Jr. thinks that Li Mu can make Muye Science and Technology, but it is impossible to make cars.

However, he is too lazy to care about whether Li Mu has this ability. He only cares about what price Li Mu is willing to use to buy his three brands.

Before, he felt that for people like Li Mu who are not bad money, they should find a way to exchange the three brands for Muye Science and Technology stocks, but now it seems that Li Mu is playing the car with a ticket. Listening to a loud mentality, in this case, it is not so easy to want his shares.

But there is always no harm in trying it.

He said with a laugh: "Chief Li, in fact, we have also discussed many times about your acquisition intention, but we as a whole are more inclined to be acquired by Muye Science and Technology, I do n’t know what you think?"

"M & A?" Li Mu smiled slightly: "Mr. Ford, Muye Science and Technology will not transfer its shares to any group, enterprise or individual before the IPO. After the IPO, anyone wants to acquire Muye Science and Technology shares. The most direct way is to buy on the market, so I can reply to you directly about the merger and acquisition, it is impossible. "

For Li Mu, what is a good asset and what is a bad asset can basically be understood at a glance.

Ford ’s assets are no different from cars, depreciation is fast and there is no room for value addition. If you want to make these three brands profitable, if you do n’t have the advantage of a rebirth, you have to wait at least five years;

But Muye Science and Technology ’s assets are like the land in the city center when house prices are about to take off.

It's like in 2008, replacing a set of Yanjing three-bedrooms with a one-million-dollar MercedesS. Even if it was an equivalent exchange, the latter would also lose money, so Li Mu would never do this kind of loss-making business.

Bill Ford didn't expect, Li Mu refused to refuse so simply, even did not consider it at all, as if he said a big joke.

This made his self-esteem somewhat frustrated. He had hoped for a glimmer of hope. As a result, he said it out of his own eyes, and Li Mu refused it directly.

Bill Ford Jr. could n’t help but also got angry, saying: “Since Chief Li does n’t consider mergers and acquisitions, it ’s not impossible for us to talk about cash acquisitions. In fact, our quotation has already been given to Mr. Musk, three The total package price of the brand is 7 billion USD. "

Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "7 billion is impossible for Mr. Ford. You also know in your heart that these brands are not high-quality assets for Ford. On the contrary, they are all blood-sucking leeches. I give them today. Your offer of 5 billion USD, do n’t think I ’m accounting for your small advantage. Five years later, your three brands together may not be able to sell 5 billion USD, and in these five years, the inflation level of 5 billion USD , I believe that you, the entrepreneur who is an industry, should know better than me. "

Bill Ford Jr. naturally knows what Li Mu means. Once the physical industry goes downhill, it is indeed a hot potato. In many cases, even a person who is willing to take over cannot find it and can only smash it in his own hands.

However, since the negotiation with Li Mu came today, I naturally have to take my attitude out. In case I got it right and Li Mu really wants these three brands, I might be able to change it from him. It is impossible to get a certain amount of shares, and you can also get a good shot price.

So he coughed and said, "Chief Li, the actual value of Ford's three brands, it is not an exaggeration to say that it exceeds 10 billion. If we sell it to the outside world, the transaction price of these three brands will be 70%. With more than 100 million USD, many companies in the industry are interested in these three brands. "

Li Mu smiled slightly: "I do n’t believe at all what you said. From this year to 2008, in these four years, I believe that the financial situation is by no means optimistic, especially in the automobile manufacturing industry. As far as I understand, all car brands are in Carrying out asset optimization and desperately reducing the burden to deal with the coming cold winter, they still have a lot of inferior assets to sell in their own hands. How could they still come to buy the garbage in Ford? "

Speaking, Li Mu apologized and said: "Sorry, I speak so straightforwardly."

Li Mu personality has always been very strong, this character is cultivated because the internet industry never needs to look at the face of any upstream and downstream companies, especially the platform, users are in their own hands, traffic is in their own hands, no one needs to be afraid However, Ford and Musk had already talked about the price of over six billion yuan. Bill Ford Jr. suddenly asked him for a direct price of 7 billion. This move was a bit competing with himself.

Bill Ford Jr.'s face is a bit ugly.

Anyway, they are also three world-famous car brands, and they are said to be garbage by Li Mu, which is a bit unpretentious.

But Li Mu did n’t care at all. Seeing his face was uncertain, simply said: "For Ford, this year ’s money is completely different from next year ’s money, not only the impact of inflation, but also There are stop-losses caused by the inferior assets after they are released. Under the current economic situation, they are willing to buy these three brands from you, and they are willing to give you 5 billion USD. In addition to me, you must find Less than the second one, and I do n’t have to buy the three brands of Ford. Why ca n’t I go to GM to buy their brand? Cadillac, they are also pretty miserable, just like you, but they ca n’t do it in the United States. Japanese brands, even in Europe, have no place to stand. They are as miserable as you are. ”

Bill Ford Jr. found that he could not suppress the Li Mu's gas field. Li Mu directly said that his brand was rubbish, but he did not know how to refute it.

Whether it is Jaguar, Land Rover or Volvo, sales in these two years have been very poor. Ford itself is not a company that is good at asset restructuring, nor a company that is very good at quality control and cost control, but the more it is not good at asset restructuring. The more they have been acquiring other car brands as early as a few years ago, they always feel that they want to play greedy snakes when they are a business. After eating one by one, they will continue to eat, and the snake will become a big dragon.

However, after eating it, I didn't have the ability to digest it properly, and as a result, eating became more and more cumbersome, so that even my own body was greatly affected.

Li Mu went on to say at this time: "Aside from the cooperation we are going to talk about this time, I will give you an analysis of who in the world will buy these three brands from your hands."

“First of all, Japanese companies will never be interested in these three brands. The development ideas and ideas of these three brands are contrary to the ideas of Japanese companies. In the eyes of Japanese people, there are only Japanese cars in the world. In the eyes of German cars and American cars, they are not rivals at all. "

"Secondly, European car companies cannot buy back these three brands. Volkswagen although likes to buy everywhere, but you three ca n’t get into the eyes of Volkswagen, because these three brands are all from Europe. If it ’s sold to you, if Volkswagen is really optimistic about these three brands, it ’s impossible for Ford to buy them. ”

"Finally, China car companies will not buy your three brands, because the old car companies have already made a profit through the production of joint venture cars. Private companies have not yet had a value of more than 2 billion USD. They think Snake swallow elephants do not have this strength. "

In fact, the automobile industry of China is indeed very inconspicuous. The powerful private enterprises in the future generations have not really risen. Even if they call Geely ’s Executive and ask him if he is interested in buying Volvo, he will think This is a fantasy.

Speaking of which, Li Mu seriously said: "Mr. Ford, think about the situation you are facing now. If you miss me, you will miss the only chance to sell these three brands in the next 3-4. Do you know why Is it? "

Bill Ford Jr. asked: "I don't understand, please explain to Chief Li."

Li Mu said: "Because only I have this spare money, and I don't care about this money, I liked the car when I was a child. At that time, I wanted to play with a car and wanted to buy a toy electric car. It ’s a luxury, but I ’m not the same now. Now that I ’m rich, I still want to play with a car, so I can come up with 5 billion USD, just to fulfill my childhood dream, even if this 5 billion was bought The three brands will continue to lose money after they get it. I recognize this, because I can afford to spend 5 billion USD to satisfy myself. Do you think anyone but me will have such courage to play Can it cost so much? Bill Gates? Or Buffett? "

Bill Ford Jr. said: "Chief Li, since you are not short of this money, why should you lower the purchase price so much? The price you are giving me now is not a price negotiated in good faith."

Li Mu laughed and said: "I am not bad money, and I am willing to throw money to do what I like, but it does not mean that I am willing to throw money to satisfy you. In my opinion, 5 billion is a very reasonable price, Ford You can immediately get rid of the troubles caused by the continuous loss of these three brands, monetize the inferior assets, and then invest the money in your own high-quality industries, so if you really want to cooperate, do n’t hold on to each other ’s mentality. Find a balance that you can pass and I can pass. "

"If these three brands are in your hands after a few years, you will definitely lose your head and beat your feet for this huge one, and me? I might be thankful that I did n’t have the brain to waste this money. ; "

"If these three brands fall into my hands after some difficulties, you will definitely be thankful for the timely action today, and I, I will not regret spending this money, even I do not even frown It will wrinkle, because I have achieved self-satisfaction, which is enough for me. I have hundreds of billions of assets, and I have 5 billion to satisfy myself, even if it is completely lost. "
