Chapter 325 Porsche, given away for free (first update, please follow up)

"whats the matter?"

"copyright!"

Nordhoff said directly.

"As far as I know, the copyright of the Volkswagen cars we produce does not belong to us."

"You mean we don't own the rights to the car?"

Li Yi'an said in surprise.

"Whose hands is that in?"

"Porsche Motor Company."

Nordhoff replied.

"Because Volkswagen was founded by Dr. Porsche, its copyright does not belong to Volkswagen. After Volkswagen resumed production of Volkswagen, Porsche continued to serve as a consultant to Volkswagen as it did before the war, charging consulting fees. At the same time, for every Volkswagen car we sell, Porsche Cars gets a 0.1% royalty fee, which is undoubtedly not good for the company’s interests.”

As the newly appointed general manager, Nordhoff needs a certificate of investment, and his certificate of investment is for Porsche Car Company, or in other words, he will prove his worth to the new boss by sacrificing the interests of Porsche Company.

"So, how much does it cost?"

"Well, it needs to be paid for in dollars."

Nordhoff thought for a moment and said.

"It's about 1000 US dollars. If we keep the price down, I think only 800 US dollars would be enough."

$1000!

This is a copyright worth hundreds of millions of dollars!

Li Yian said immediately.

"Give the Porsche $1000 to take it down, and besides... I want to meet that Porsche!"

……

Porsche!

Li Yi'an is no stranger to this name. After all, in another world, Porsche is a very famous luxury car. In the eyes of many "socialites", those who drive BBA are poor people, while Porsches are barely considered rich.

He doesn’t understand the world of celebrities, but he knows this brand!

When it comes to the fact that in the next few decades, Volkswagen will get 0.1% of the royalties for every Beetle and Porsche sold, Li Yian becomes a little uneasy.

This is a popular product with cumulative sales of tens of millions!

While instructing Nordhoff to win the copyright of the Beetle, Li Yian also became interested in the Porsche company. After all, Porsche currently maintains the company's operations by designing sports cars and repairing old cars and water pumps.

But such a company that lost its factory can actually rise to become a first-tier luxury car brand, which is enough to prove Porsche's ability. In fact, the core reason is that it was the popularity of the Volkswagen Beetle that gave Porsche enough funds to design and produce its own cars.

But now, this is obviously no longer possible!

However, talents cannot be let go.

Porsche can't take advantage of the Beetle to rise, but Porsche can become its own!

"Five thousand dollars."

Li Yian said while looking at Philip Porsche, the son of old Porsche, in front of him.

"After acquiring Porsche, you can serve as the company's general manager, continue to run the company, and get 10% of the equity."

Li Yi'an's bid can be said to be low... outrageous, but he believes that Feili will not refuse because his father, the old Porsche, and his son-in-law Pierre were imprisoned for assisting Germany in the war. In jail. After all, they coordinated the production and design of tanks in Germany during the war. Now they are in jail without trial. If they want to come out, they need bail, and Fili, whose property has been confiscated, cannot afford the money at all. , in fact, even if he can come up with the money, he may not be able to bail out.

"This...Your Majesty, can I not ask for the money?"

Philip Porsche, the car designer who designed the Porsche 356 after the war and single-handedly rebuilt the glory of the Porsche company, said.

"Your Majesty, you know that I do not hold shares in the company. It still belongs to my father and brother-in-law. If you can use your influence to get them released, I think they will be happy to transfer the company. To you, of course, it would undoubtedly be very merciful of you if you could allow them to continue working in the company."

For Fili, who had sold the rights to the Beetle for $2000, what he cared about now was not money, but the safety of his father and brother-in-law, who he needed to get out of prison.

And the Majesty in front of him can help him realize this wish. After all, his wife is a British princess, and his status gives him influence here that many people cannot match. "this……"

Li Yian thought for a moment and then said.

"You should know that they are war criminals."

"But there has been no trial, Your Majesty."

Fili said.

"Before the trial, he can be released on bail. In this way, he can continue to work for you. I believe that both Porsche and Volkswagen need some technical help from us. What do you think?"

It has to be said that Feili is a person who is good at discovering opportunities. After meeting His Majesty, he had only one thought in his mind - to agree to all his requests and then rescue his father from prison!

After thinking for a moment, Li Yian said.

"They will be released and I hope you do get your money's worth."

It's just two war criminals from the industrial world, and it's just a matter of a phone call at most. Since old Porsche can design the Beetle, what if we fish him out and design a national car for Borneo?

Seems like a good choice too.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, we will not let you down!"

Feili's tone seemed a little excited. After all, his father and brother-in-law had been imprisoned for almost a year, and now he finally had a chance to fish them out.

It seems difficult to release two war criminals, but in fact it is very simple. Li Yian does not even need to come forward in person. He only needs to give Zhao Xiyong, the current commander of the Allied Command Task Force, a call. A phone call will do the trick.

"Now Dr. Porsche and his son-in-law Pierre will be under our supervision and work under our supervision."

Zhao Xiyong came to Wolfsburg from Munich.

"If necessary, like others, they can be flown to Chang'an and let them work in Chang'an."

"Being not,"

Li Yian shook his head and said.

"Volkswagen needs their technical help. The current Beetle still has some technical problems. It will be more helpful if they stay here."

Li Yian is still very concerned about Volkswagen. There is no way, anyone who guards a guy who can lay golden eggs will be as concerned as him. He even took the time to redesign the Volkswagen logo, which is to replace the black The VW logo was redesigned in blue, which is the most common one in later generations. The fundamental purpose is to bid farewell to the past. Save yourself from being ripped off in the future.

"The automobile manufacturing plant in Nanyang is still under construction, and the plan is to produce trucks first. After all, trucks are urgently needed for construction in Nanyang. As for cars, we still have to wait."

Although we have to wait, we can also let Porsche and his son design a national car suitable for Nanyang first. We must make full use of our talents.

"correct,"

Li Yian asked after putting down the pen in his hand and remembering the goals he had set before coming to Germany.

"You came from Munich, and I just have one thing to ask you. You must have heard of BMW over there."

"Of course I've heard of it,"

Zhao Xiyong said doubtfully.

"Why do you think of this company, sir?"

"Well, it's like this. On my way to Germany this time, I plan to acquire several companies in Germany. Has BMW resumed production? Is there any way to communicate with the occupation authorities and buy BMW? Just like buying Just like Volkswagen."

The Porsche company that he acquired without spending a penny was just an unexpected gain. For Li Yi'an, the real goal was the blue sky and white clouds of "BMW".

However, when Li Yian asked, he didn't notice at all that Zhao Xiyong's expression became more and more complicated...
