Shenhao started as a military training anchor

Chapter 843 Someone is coming from above

At the dinner table, Holly mentioned to his good brother Zuo Yu about playing F1 next time.

Zuo Yu held chopsticks in his hand and looked at Holly in surprise.

He is in this business and knows that racing cars costs money.

An Isle of Man racing club has already hit several small targets in motorcycle racing events.

After hitting a few small goals, I can basically dominate the domestic motorcycle racing events, and barely gain a reputation internationally. I am trying to negotiate cooperation with my family’s Zongshen Racing Team to win a spot in the motorcycle GP.

As far as the club's revenue is concerned, it can only be said to cover expenses, and there is still a long way to go to make money.

And Holly wants to play in F1, the world's top competition. Putting aside whether he can make money or not, the threshold is starting at tens of billions.

Zuo Yu used the perspective of running a racing club to persuade Holly, "If you just play F1 out of love, I don't think it is necessary. It is equivalent to giving money.

If you incorporate the F1 team into the car company ecosystem and try to integrate car companies and racing cars, I think it is worth considering. "

Holly smiled and raised his glass: "You still understand me, Lao Yu."

The two had a drink.

After finishing the drink, Holly said: "You know my character, I won't be sloppy in what I decide to do.

I’m telling you this today because I want you to help me take care of the club. "

Zuo Yu said: "There is a big difference between motorcycle GP and F1. If you need my help, I will definitely try my best to help.

You ask me to run the club for you, that's a bit too high a level for me. "

Holly smiled, "I just need someone I trust to watch the club for me.

After the acquisition of Aston Martin Racing, in terms of personnel, except for the drivers, there will not be many changes in other management personnel.

You only need to put up a name and occasionally participate in club management on my behalf. "

Zuo Yu understood what Holly said.

Just install one of your own people and beat some foreigners from time to time.

He really is the best person around Holly to do it.

"I understand." Zuo Yu nodded, concerned, "How far has the acquisition reached?"

Holly said: "Yi An has sent someone over to talk.

The Saudi sovereign fund quoted a price of US$13 billion, so we have to quote a higher price.

Not only that, if you want to get a piece of the pie in the F1 paddock, you have to do some homework and move around in other teams.

We probably won't be able to talk for a while.

But I expect Saudi Arabia will withdraw soon.

Because Geely has increased its stake in Aston Martin, the Saudi sovereign fund's right to speak on Aston Martin's board of directors has been challenged, so it will not offer too high a price and will transfer money to Aston Martin car companies to prevent Geely. acquisition. "

Aston Martin Motors and Aston Martin Racing are two completely independent companies.

Geely has been increasing its stake in Aston Martin, and its shareholding has reached 17.9%. It has the intention to acquire this car company.

The Saudi sovereign fund is currently Aston Martin's largest shareholder and the shareholder with the most voting rights on the board.

Between the fleet and the car companies, facing the challenges from the two Chinese car companies is still a bit tricky.

Keeping one and competing for two is the best choice.

At least one of the teams and car companies must be controlled by themselves.

If Yi'an raises the price, Saudi Arabia may not follow suit.

At the same time, the resumption of the F1 Shanghai Station has also allowed the F1 event to see the potential of the Chinese market. Both the F1 event organizing committee and Aston Martin team executives will be biased towards Yi'an's acquisition needs.

So the probability of Hawley successfully acquiring Aston Martin Racing is very high.

Zuo Yu said: "More than 1.5 billion US dollars is greater than the actual value of the team."

Holly nodded: "You think the same as me, and the price in my heart is also the same."

Luo Yutang raised his glass and said: "Then I wish you a smooth acquisition of Aston Martin."

Holly smiled and clinked a drink with the two brothers.

Qianqian, who was sitting next to her while eating, drank with her and smiled.

The three rich men started talking about games involving hundreds of millions or tens of billions, but she couldn't get a word in.

Don't bother the young masters either.

After dinner, we moved to the chess and card room with the three young masters to play a few rounds of mahjong.

This is what she is good at.

Open your heart with the three gentlemen.

In Jiangcheng, with the care of these three people, she can go further on the road of doing business, especially Huo Shao, a C-position figure in Jiangcheng's entrepreneurial circle. "Qianqian, are you deliberately letting me off the hook? You gave me another full card." Luo Yutang said with a smile.

Qianqian smiled and said, "Mr. Luo is very lucky. I'm very good at counting cards, but I still let you run away with the last one."

"I'll win you a little money tonight, and I'll go to the store to top up my card tomorrow. I don't like taking advantage of women." Luo Yutang said with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Luo, for taking care of the business." Qianqian said with a smile.

Holly said: "Have you taken advantage of women?"

"My brother, give me a little face." Luo Yutang said timidly.

He still didn't dare to be shameless in front of Holly. If Holly hadn't helped his MCN go public, he wouldn't have been able to join the board of directors of Longke Group so quickly and start taking over the group's major projects.

Now his heir is basically confirmed, it's just a matter of time.

"Seven.", Holly played the card.

"My brother, are you the roundworm in my heart? Gang." Luo Yutang said, touching one, "There are flowers on the gang.

Sorry, brother, I just said the wrong thing, you are my lucky star. "

Holly paid with a smile and said, "You're lucky."

"Win a few packs of cigarette money." Luo Yutang said with a smile.

After a few laps, Luo Yutang stood out.

Holly and Qianqian lost a lot.

Qianqian is playing the favor card, while Holly is really unlucky.

But winning or losing doesn't matter. Tens of thousands of dollars to win or lose, entertainment and games after dinner, just to relax.

At half past eleven, the show ends.

Luo Yutang and Zuo Yu went back in the driver's car.

Holly walked Qianqian to the door, "I'll ask a driver to take you there. Don't drive if you're drunk."

"Thank you, Mr. Huo." Qianqian nodded.

Holly casually called a security guard who knew how to drive and drove Qianqian's ×5 to take her back to the university town.

Went upstairs to wash up briefly and rest.

In the past few days since his return, except for video conferences and replying to some important emails, Holly did not go to work. He stayed in the manor fishing, walking around with his children, and exercising properly with his security team.

On the day when the leaders came to Jiangcheng for investigation, Holly went to the company to accompany them.

City leaders accompanied him.

The secretary praised Holly well in front of the leaders.

"Young and promising, a role model for the times."

The leader praised Holly with these eight words.

Holly was honored.

In fact, he is above and is often mentioned by the leaders of various ministries.

The leader has also heard about it, but today is the first time we met, and the leader gave a very high evaluation.

After cooperating with the research team to visit his company, Holly took the company's senior management and employees out to say goodbye.

Yian Automobile President Office.

CEO Fu Qiang said: "Mr. Huo, shall we attend the Jiangcheng International Auto Show?"

Holly said: "Did you invite us?"

"Please."

Holly: "Then go join in the fun and send the concept car over. It's time for Yi'an Automobile's design concept to be introduced to the public."

The leaders above came to Jiangcheng for investigation this time and specifically mentioned the new energy automobile industry. Jiangcheng is at the forefront of the country.

This Jiangcheng International Auto Show, the city will definitely make some big noises. It can be predicted that no matter in terms of scale or publicity, it will not lose to the Beijing International Auto Show.

It’s another big gathering of the automotive industry.

How could such an occasion be possible without Mr. Huo?

However, Yi'an Automobile's booth may be a little shabby. After all, there is no real car, only a concept car that has just been finalized.

Holly had seen the manuscript and the model of the concept car and was also impressed.

It is indeed the work of Frank Stephenson, the world's most influential automotive engineer.

It would be embarrassing if Yian Automobile stole the spotlight from other car companies at this international auto show with just one concept car.
