Coquettish Rebirth

Specifically, what is the humanity of Lao Zhang? It depends on how he will deal with it after Mattel gives the money.If Lao Zhang really sent the money over despite Jia Hongjian's polite refusal, then he obviously deserves Jia Hongjian's good treatment.But if the old man just half-heartedly refused to send the money after Jia Hongjian politely refused, then Jia Hongjian would not hold grudges or anything like that, but From now on, this old Zhang and his family's descendants and so on, just don't come to Jia Hongjian for trouble in the rest of their lives.Jia Hongjian would not help even if he begged him!With Jia Hongjian's decision, it doesn't mean that he remains indifferent when he sees others cheating him of the money he deserves.After all, when it comes to the truth, Jia Hongjian didn't act entirely to save the old Zhang. He actually wanted to prevent Huaxia Hi-Tech from being influenced by public opinion in the United States, and to prevent the city gate from being caught on fire. It hurts the fish in the pond!In such a situation, helping Lao Zhang was actually a matter of convenience.Since helping Lao Zhang was a matter of convenience, the by-product of helping Lao Zhang was compensation, so Jia Hongjian didn't take it very seriously, especially if he was not short of money.

Here, Jia Hongjian temporarily left the matter of Lao Zhang aside, and while he was waiting for the plan to cooperate with Obama's team to continue, Ye Jing discovered a new piece of news-"Husband, I looked at ICBC two days ago. It actually said that it has successfully acquired 20% of the shares of Standard Bank of South Africa! Our domestic banks can do it!" In Ye Jing's view, it is quite encouraging for such domestic companies to go abroad and start mergers and acquisitions. With national pride!But after her reminder, Jia Hongjian felt completely different about the same news!For Jia Hongjian, it has nothing to do with domestic companies acquiring foreign companies or acquiring shares in foreign companies, and he has nothing to be proud of. To put it bluntly, the 08 financial crisis in history At that time, how many domestic companies went abroad for mergers and acquisitions.What else is there to make Jia Hongjian so excited when he sees the news of such a small purchase of shares?

So what are Jia Hongjian's thoughts?His impression is whether the big wave of mergers and acquisitions that started in 08 is about to start!That's right, in China's history, in 07, regardless of state-owned or private companies, the total amount spent on overseas mergers and acquisitions was only US$25 billion.But in 08, it rose to 50 billion US dollars in one fell swoop!This year has increased by 100%!Why is this happening?On the one hand, the financial crisis has not actually spread to China. Chinese companies are still very healthy financially due to the fundamentals of rapid development in recent years.On the contrary, due to the impact of the financial crisis, European and American companies are actually not in such a healthy financial situation.At the same time, after China entered the WTO, the purchasing power of the Chinese market is gradually being cultivated and reflected. In 08, there were still many foreign brands that did not enter China!

Take fast food as an example, such as McDonald's and KFC, which entered China in the first batch in the 80s.But according to the sales of fast food in the United States in 2011, Subway, a chain store selling sandwiches, ranked first. No. 2 is McDonald's, No. 3 is Starbucks, and No. 4 is Pizza Hut. No.5 is Burger King, No.6 is Dunkin’ Donuts, a chain store selling donuts, No.7 is Wendy’s fast food chain, which is also a brand similar to McDonald’s KFC, No.8 is Dairy Queen, No. .9 is Taco Bell, a Mexican-style fast food, and No. 10 is the Domino's pizza chain.It's like KFC didn't even enter the previous life!

Seriously speaking, how many of the top ten entered the Chinese market before 08?The first few are like Burger King.It was only in 05 that the first store was opened in China. Like Dunkin’ Donuts, there is no store in China, right?For example, the Wendy's fast food chain, which is more popular than KFC in the United States, has never entered China, and the taco clock and Domino's pizza have not entered China.Since this is the case even in the fast food field.The same is true in other fields, and under such a situation, when problems arise in the US market or the European and American markets, which are the main battlefields of these companies, aren't these companies also prone to problems?The simplest truth is that you can't put all your eggs in one basket!

So in such a situation, go overseas to acquire various assets.That happened to be a good time to absorb and sweep goods at the bottom!Just like in history in 08, didn't our domestic auto companies also acquire Sweden's Volvo?Then Jia Hongjian can buy Volvo now, right?We don’t even need to care too much about whether the Volvo brand is bought by the market now—like a brand like Luofu, few people in China have heard of it, and it has long been a brand that cannot be supported abroad.Didn't Huaxia Automobile still buy such a brand?We bought such a brand at that time, not mainly to buy their brand for use, but mainly for their various models and various experiences!

Thinking of this, Jia Hongjian happily hugged Ye Jing around several times - he almost forgot about it before!Now that Ye Jing reminded me of this matter, it is natural to shift my energy to this matter temporarily.Jia Hongjian immediately asked his subordinates in China and the United States to start collecting various companies and brands in Europe and the United States that are in trouble or that may be traded. Of course, the focus should be on industries such as the automobile industry. After all, China The foundation of the car itself is still relatively weak, and it is still difficult to compare with the technical reserves of various giants of nearly a century.

As a result, a few days later, an analysis report on various giants in the automobile industry was placed in front of Jia Hongjian.Then Jia Hongjian didn't know if he didn't look, his eyes straightened!Why are the eyes straight?Because he found that several large automobile groups in the United States are now slowly falling into trouble!Regardless of whether it is Ford or GM, these two groups are now in a state of crisis, and have been affected by the financial crisis that began last year!And isn't that the case in history?Ford in history encountered a crisis, so it sold many brands, such as the Tata Group in India, didn't it just buy the Jaguar and Land Rover brands from Ford in 08?Then a few years later, didn’t our Chinese companies buy the Volvo brand from Ford?

For example, Ford is better than GM in history, and GM has really suffered in history-they even filed for bankruptcy and reorganization!That's right, General Motors, the most powerful automobile group in the United States, will go bankrupt soon!Then GM deserves to be the largest auto group in the United States, and it has perfectly reached the point of being too big to fail, so in the end the US government had to come forward to divest GM's high-quality brands with better sales, and then the US government is equivalent to paying. After changing these brands, the old empty shells with only various low-quality resources were bankrupted and liquidated, and the brands bought by the new US government were gathered together, and a company called GM was formed to operate!In history, after GM made money in the market through such actions, it used the money to redeem the shares in the hands of the US government.

So in such a situation, can we discuss with Ford and GM about acquiring some of their brands?Thinking of this, Jia Hongjian thought and argued again and again, and then held Huaxia Automobile's transoceanic network video conference. "We have to prepare to negotiate with GM, Ford and other super car groups to see if we can buy some car brands from them..." When Jia Hongjian said this, Ding Haitao, who was in the conference room of Huaxia Automobile in China, listened. When I arrived, I was immediately puzzled!why?Ding Haitao thinks that the car brand is indeed useful. For example, if Huaxia Automobile bought the Land Rover brand, wouldn't it be possible to make a luxury car later?Wouldn't it be possible to directly enter the luxury car market by relying on this brand?After all, consumers may not 100% understand that although Land Rover is still Land Rover, it has become made in China.

But what is the problem?The reason is that Huaxia Automobile has never been the sole purpose of making money!If Huaxia Auto's top priority is to make money, then buying a brand is a very short cut.However, Huaxia Auto's long-term route, in addition to making money, has more goals such as improving the design and manufacturing level of autonomous vehicles.In fact, in such a respect, Huaxia Automobile is often more like a state-owned enterprise that upholds the will of the country, rather than a private company whose only goal is to make money!For example, when Huaxia Automobile was just a small department of Huaxia Hi-Tech, Jia Hongjian said that he dreamed of allowing Chinese people to drive cars, and turning China from the former bicycle kingdom into the car kingdom!

It can be said that it is precisely because of such a slogan as the initial goal of the company's development that the corporate culture of the entire Huaxia Automobile is not just about making money. No shortcuts!For example, Huaxia Motors has invested a lot of money in research and development of its own engine and gearbox in recent years. If it is really just to make money, the engine and gearbox can be bought from other companies. It is enough to design a shell—even the design of the shell can be outsourced, and then the engineering adjustment of the entire car design can also be outsourced to foreign companies. In the end, what the company needs to do is only production and assembly, and then do a good job in publicity and marketing. Make a lot of money!In fact, many domestic auto companies, even some joint ventures with foreign auto companies, do this.Why did Huaxia Automobile choose to develop it by itself?I just have a sense of mission, and I just want to improve my design and manufacturing level!

And in such a situation, why did Mr. Jia propose to buy foreign brands? (~^~)
