When Li Mu was sitting on the plane waiting for takeoff, Elon · Musk was fighting with Bill Ford Jr.

Bill Ford Jr. is now particularly entangled. He neither wants to agree to the offer of Li Mu 5 billion USD nor wants Elon · Musk to leave.

Elon · Musk was a little irritated by him in the end, and threw it to Bill Ford Jr .: "If Mr. Ford refuses now, then I will return to Silicon Valley immediately. If you do not refuse now, and do not agree, then I Just sitting here and waiting, when Mr. Ford decided to accept the Chief Li offer, when will we continue to talk down. "

After finishing, he added another sentence: "It does n’t matter if the result is not available today, I can continue to wait in the hotel."

Bill Ford Jr. was a little upset. The most unacceptable thing for him was the Li Mu, which determined his performance. However, he really had no courage to refuse his offer.

Tangled again and again, until Bill Ford Jr. was completely annoyed himself. He stood up from the seat and said, "Okay! Five billion USD, I demand a one-off payment!"

Elon · Musk nodded and said, "Then I will ask the boss to see what his attitude is."

Bill Ford Jr. said lightly: "Well, I will wait for your news."

After finishing, he took out a cigar and took a light, slow sip.

Now, he can't say anything easily.

There is a good saying, if you ca n’t resist, just enjoy it.

Now, a big rock in his heart fell to the ground, although was very painful, but in his opinion, it was worth it.

The Li Mu's words gave him great inspiration. He felt that Ford should think about how to make the Ford brand bigger and stronger.

Why do Santana and Jetta without airbags sell best at China? Why no one buys Land Rover Jaguar Volvo in China? If you think about it carefully, it ’s the problem of not being clear about your positioning.

What if Ford launches a real civilian car in China in the future? Is it possible to replace Santana's position in China?

When the five billion USD of Li Mu arrives, they will all be invested in Ford's own brand. As long as the Ford brand is made bigger and stronger, the Ford family can last forever. From now on, It's no longer like what we did before, so-called multi-brand strategy.

Li Mu was waiting to take off, and suddenly received a call from Elon · Musk. During the call, the voice of Elon · Musk said with a little trembling: "Chief Li, Ford agreed, 5 billion USD!"

Elon · Musk was very excited at this time, but had to desperately restrain his emotions.

In Elon · Musk view, 5 billion USD to buy these three brands, the price is really profitable.

Moreover, the most important thing is that Tesla finally has a platform that it can fully rely on.

Jaguar, Land Rover, Volvo, their platform and chassis technology will be used with them in the future, which will greatly facilitate the development and mass production of Tesla itself.

This also makes Elon · Musk more admired for Li Mu.

This boss is really a god. Even Ford was chopped with his scalp, and the summary operation is just too bad.

Li Mu was finally relieved.

If 5 billion USD will succeed, he is not absolutely sure. Now Bill Ford Jr. finally nodded, which proves that his alarmist talks have played a very good role.

Besides being excited, Li Mu said to Elon · Musk: "The rest, you have a good talk with Bill Ford, I want to complete the acquisition as soon as possible, and at the same time let him put three brands, four production lines person in charge as soon as possible To summon up, you first meet with them for a meeting to stabilize the team. "

"OK." Elon · Musk said: "By Chief Li, Bill Ford Jr. has a requirement that these five billion USDs must be paid in one go."

Li Mu can't help but think.

5 billion USD is not a small sum. There is a lot of money on the Muye Science and Technology although account, and the cash flow is very healthy, but it is still very difficult to get 5 billion USD in one breath.

GoogleIPO, it is possible to reduce some of the original shares as issued shares, but that is about 3%. Based on the market value of 50 billion, it is only 1.5 billion USD. If you actively reduce the shares after listing, then how? Is n’t it a fool? After all, the future prospects of Google are limitless.

Thinking about it, Li Mu decided to first engage in a wave of equity pledges, pledge part of the shares of Muye Science and Technology to the capital, and then loan a loan from the capital.

The Goldberg family themselves are bankers and venture capitalists. It is better to ask them to get a sum of money. The big deal is to pay some interest.

Thinking of this, Li Mu said to Elon · Musk: "You can tell Bill Ford Jr. that there is no problem telling him to pay in one lump."

"Okay." Elon · Musk said: "Then I will tell him, and within two days, I will pay close attention to the landing plan that he acquired."

"Uh." Li Mu said, "You will be responsible for this matter. It is best to sign an intention agreement with him now, and then I will publish the news."

Li Mu clearly remembers how excited the China people were when Geely announced the acquisition of Volvo.

The news, to the people of China, is like a thunder bomb, no one before, no one after.

The major media have also reported this proud acquisition. A China company acquired a well-known Swedish car brand. This is really big news that can greatly enhance the sense of national pride and belonging.

From that moment on, Volvo was equivalent to playing a nationwide advertisement for free, making Volvo unknown and unknown in China.

And when Volvo truly returned to Geely, the domestic people immediately reported their support with practical actions, allowing the development of Volvo to advance by leaps and bounds.

Li Mu also wants to seize such a good opportunity to publish the news that they want to acquire these three brands. In this way, the popularity of these three brands in China will increase a lot. After the reorganization of the brand, it will be pushed to the market, and the China people will definitely be able to provide great help and promotion.

......

Hang up the phone, and Li Mu immediately called person in charge Davidson · Goldberg of the Goldberg family.

As soon as the phone was connected, Davidson said very enthusiastically: "Mr. Li, how do you remember to call me, are you coming to the UK?"

"I can't go yet for the time being." Li Mu smiled slightly and went straight to the point: "Davidson, I called to try to find you a loan."

Davidson said without hesitation: "Your husband, you say a few, I will help you prepare."

For Davidson, Li Mu is his biggest gold owner. Li Mu promised Muye Science and TechnologyIPO to let him be the lead underwriter, which is a huge opportunity for him right now.

So, if something needs to be helped by Li Mu, he will help Li Mu as much as possible.

Li Mu said at the time: "I want 5 billion dollars, and the money will be repaid after the listing. I can pledge you with Muye Science and Technology6 shares, but you have to give me the lowest interest rate."

"Five billion?" Davidson didn't expect Li Mu said that first-year university student money, he subconsciously asked: "Mr. Li, have you reached an acquisition intention with Ford Group?"

Ford's line was the help of Davidson, so he knew Li Mu's's willingness to acquire, and suddenly heard that Li Mu was about to pledge a loan of 5 billion USD, and he thought of it the first time.

Li Mu did not hide him, said lightly: "Yes, I have communicated with Ford, Muye Science and Technology invested in the acquisition of Jaguar Land Rover Volvo, all three brands packaged 5 billion USD all won."

"The price is really small advantage!" Davidson said with a heartfelt emotion, and then said: "But the prospect of the automotive industry is not very good now. The price of 5 billion USD is although small advantage, but it is estimated that it is also placed in the car manufacturer. No one is willing to spend so much money to buy at this time, in the final analysis, or Mr. Li your courage is greater! "

Devenson is not complimenting the Li Mu. Now the auto industry is generally sluggish. Almost all car manufacturers maintain a very conservative attitude towards brand expansion. At this time, if they venture, they may fall into the cliff and lose their lives.

Although Ford ’s sales of 5 billion yuan are a little loss, but with the current industry background, Davidson can understand.

Li Mu smiled and said: "It's also very difficult for me to take out 5 billion USD at a stretch, so I asked you for help. You have a bank and a fund, and you have a lot of capital-level relationships. You can pry it in your hand. The amount of capital raised is relatively large, should n’t it be a problem for you, 5 billion USD? "

For the Goldberg family, most of their industries are concentrated in the financial sector.

Most of the financial field is borrowing chickens and laying eggs. A family ’s assets may be only a few hundred million USD, but the funds he manages may be more than a billion or more. These are all entrusted by investors from various sources. The money for investment is usually to set up a fund, put the money into the fund, and person in charge is responsible for the capital operation of the entire fund.

The Goldberg family ’s own assets are tens of billions of USD, so the amount of funds in their hands is as large as 100 billion USD. Some of these funds are placed in banks for relatively safe commercial loan operations, and some are placed in funds. For high-risk and high-return investments, it is worth five billion USD to Li Mu, with Muye Science and Technology equity pledge, and interest income, it is still very easy for Davidson.

So, his said with a laugh: "Mr. Li rest assured that 5 billion USD is not a big problem for us, what time do you probably need?"

Li Mu said: "It's better to start the process now. After the process is completed, the money will be sent to the Muye Science and Technology account."

"No problem." Davenson said immediately: "I will now communicate with HSBC's loan person in charge, let him go through the procedure, and then sign a contract with Mr. Li. After the contract is signed, the money will be paid soon. "

"Then that's the deal." Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "I'm waiting for your good news."
