Chapter 479 Media War (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

  Next day!

  The morning was calm, the sun was shining, there were few clouds, and there were not many pedestrians on the road.

   It was a normal North American weekend.

   But if you observe carefully, you will still find some differences. Some Wall Street elites who want to take a good rest on the weekend did not rest today and still get up early, but they used to be in suits and leather shoes, but now they are ordinary sportswear.

  These people had only one purpose for getting up early. Yesterday, Chu Huan's North American armor library and the Ford family's Ford Motor officially played against each other.

  Before yesterday, it could only be considered that Chu Huan's North American club was attacking unilaterally, but the Ford family didn't make a move at all.

   But with yesterday's announcement, things are starting to look different.

  As soon as the Ford family made a move, people felt the control of the Ford family over Ford Motor. When Chu Huan announced the convening of the Ford Motor shareholders meeting as a major shareholder, Ford II announced that he would leave North America and go to Switzerland!

   No one will think that Ford II's departure is hiding.

  The only explanation for this matter is that Ford II is revealing a message to the outside world.

   Don't look at you, Chu Huan, having a lot of trouble, we don't take you seriously here at all.

   Don't you want to hold a general meeting of shareholders?

  伱 Don't you want to be on the board?

   No play!

  As long as our Ford family disagrees, you, Chu Huan, have no hope.

  Everyone thought that Chu Huan would continue to make moves after the Ford family's move yesterday.

   As a result, Chu Huan didn't accept the move after waiting until night yesterday, which disappointed many people.

   thought that Chu Huan's side was just calling Huan, but now that the Ford family made a move, Chu Huan's side had no choice.

   In fact, not only these people on Wall Street think so, even Zheng Zhouyong, who is far away in South Korea, thinks so after receiving a real-time call from Zheng Mongxian.

   "It seems that the time for Chu Huan to apologize to us is not far away!"

   After putting down the phone, Jung Joo-young proudly preached to his son, Jung Mong-koo.

   "From the very beginning when Chu Huan chose to be our enemy, he was doomed to fail."

   Zheng Mengjiu complimented.

After Zheng Zhouyong finished listening, he became happier and said with a smile: "Very well, next you have to study the real estate market in Xiangjiang carefully. This time, whatever you say this time, you must ask Chu Huan to give up part of the project of Zhulu Commercial Center Come out and give us modern construction!"

  Zheng Zhouyong now has a clear goal for Chu Huan's business in Xiangjiang.

  He wants Chu Huan to compete for part of the right to build the commercial center, and Zheng Zhouyong's ambitions don't stop there.

   "In addition, do a good study on Chu Huan's business in Southeast Asia. We need to use Chu Huan's channel to open up the sales of our pony cars in Southeast Asia!"

  Zheng Mengjiu hurriedly nodded and said, "Understood, please rest assured, father!"

   Now that Zheng Mongxian is still studying in North America, Zheng Mengjiu understands that if he wants to leave a better impression on his father, he must perfectly complete the tasks assigned by him.

   "Now we are waiting for the results from North America!" Zheng Zhouyong leaned comfortably on the sofa, and then said with a smile.

.

It was a calm morning in North America. At noon, just when everyone thought that today would pass like this, at three o'clock in the afternoon, David Maxwell, the general manager of the North American League, went on TV and accepted Economic news interview.

The news quickly spread on Wall Street like a tornado. At the same time, people who were paying attention to this matter in other places also turned on the TV immediately, wanting to see Chu Huan's business in North America at this time. What does the spokesperson have to say.

.

   Michigan, Ford Manor!

  Ford II has left North America, so the ones watching the news on TV in the manor today are the uncles and nephews William Ford and Bill Ford.

  As for Ford Motor’s general manager, Philip Caldwell, he didn’t come over, but stayed at his home. After all, he didn’t know that North America would suddenly issue a statement at this time.

   "Bill, what do you think of this matter?"

  David Maxwell hasn't officially been interviewed on TV yet, so William Ford asked Bill Ford for his opinion.

  The Ford family is different from other chaebol families, at least they seem to be harmonious within the family.

  And now Bill Ford is the eldest son of the fourth generation of their Ford family, no matter what, they must focus on training.

  19-year-old Bill Ford was wearing Adidas sportswear at this time, and there was a tennis racket next to his sofa, apparently just after playing tennis.

  At this time, he was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, his expression revealed a relaxed expression, and he said: "It's nothing more than trying to catch us off guard while my father is not in North America!"

  William Ford was quite satisfied with Bill Ford's answer, he thought the same way, and said calmly: "Then what do you think they will do?"

   It is actually easy to guess why the statement was made during this time period, but the content of the statement is not so easy to guess.

Bill Ford shook his head and said, "I haven't guessed this yet, but I don't think I need to guess. In fact, from the very beginning of this matter, Chu Huan had no chance of winning. No matter what he did, he would just It's all in vain!"

   Like everyone else, Bill Ford was confident in his family's control of Ford Motors.

"Yes!" William Ford nodded, picked up a cigar on the table next to him, pinched off the root of the cigar, and said with a relaxed smile, "No matter what method Chu Huan uses, it's just futile, but I You can guess what he wants David Maxwell to be on TV this time."

   Bill Ford asked, "What?"

   "It should be to allow him to join the company's board of directors tomorrow to increase more bargaining chips, such as announcing an increase in the acquisition of the company's stock!"

  William Ford's serene sermon.

  Bill Ford thought for a while, and said: "He can only be like this!"

  The two uncles and nephews were talking, and the news interview on TV had already started.

  The host is a female host, a very famous financial host in North America in the 1970s, with short hair and brown OL outfit, she looks very capable.

  Max Channing!

   This is the name of the hostess!

  The setting in the TV is very simple, a table, two chairs, sitting respectively David Maxwell and Max Channing.

   "Mr. David Maxwell"

   "Miss Channing, my friends call me David!" David Maxwell said with a smile.

   "My friends would also like to call me Max!" Max Channing also smiled.

After the simple greetings, Max Channing started to get to the point, and asked David Maxwell with a smile: "David, I think recently, Wall Street, New York, and even the whole of North America are paying attention to your company's interest in Ford Motors. According to the information we have received, the reason for North American Jiaku’s acquisition of Ford Motor Company is because of the personal grievances between North American Jiaku’s chairman and South Korea’s Hyundai Group, is this true?”

   "Of course not true!"

  David Maxwell directly denied this rumor. Even if it is true, it cannot be said that this matter is true now, otherwise it would challenge the sensitive nerves of North Americans too much.

"Actually, I've heard about what you said about Max, but I hope everyone can analyze this matter rationally. If it's just because of the grievances between Mr. Chu and Hyundai Group, would Mr. Chu need it?" What about spending more than a billion dollars to acquire a stake in Ford Motor?

   And this acquisition is not over yet, just based on the current share price of Ford Motor, if we want to get the equity of Ford Motor, we need at least 3 billion US dollars.

   A total of more than 4 billion U.S. dollars just to buy gas with a South Korean Hyundai Group?

  I don’t know much about South Korean conglomerates. I would like to ask, does the market value of the entire Hyundai Group have so much money? "

Hearing what David Maxwell said, Max Channing smiled, and some people who were paying attention to this matter also smiled. As David Maxwell said, does the market value of Hyundai Group have so much money? ?

   But not everyone in front of the TV was amused by David Maxwell's slightly dismissive joke.

  For example, Jung Se Young and Jung Mong Heon are watching the news at the hotel.

   Zheng Shiyong threw the mineral water bottle in his hand to the ground angrily.

   Who do you look down on!

  Such disdain fell on the ears of the two of them as a naked insult.

   "Record this news, and when the news is over, arrange someone to deliver it to your father as soon as possible!" After Zheng Shiyong vented, he preached to Zheng Mengxian.

   "This Chu Huan obviously hasn't realized his mistake. When he comes to beg us in the future, you must let your father deal with him properly!"

  Listening to Zheng Shiyong's words, Zheng Mengxian also nodded seriously.

   On TV, the dialogue between David Maxwell and Max Channing continues.

  Max Channing: "I just noticed, David, you didn't deny that Mr. Chu Huan had grievances with Hyundai Group?"

  David Maxwell said with a smile: "There is nothing to deny, and Mr. Chu Huan has never concealed this. After all, the fault of the whole thing is not ours, but the other party's cause!"

  Max Channing asked with an interested expression: "Really? Then I wonder if it is convenient for you, David, to tell us about this matter?"

   "Of course!" David Maxwell adjusted his sitting posture, and then continued to speak: "The cause of everything is actually because Zheng Mengzhun, the son of Hyundai Group Chairman Zheng Zhouyong, broke into Mr. Chu Huan's house."

  Afterwards, David Maxwell told about the grievances between Chu Huan and the Zheng family of Hyundai Group. Among them, only the time when the villa in Los Angeles belonged to Chu Huan was modified, and the others were not modified.

"broken!"

  Hearing David Maxwell tell the story on TV, Zheng Mengxian immediately preached worriedly.

Zheng Shiyong looked at Zheng Mengxian in puzzlement and asked, "What's wrong? Even if Mengxian accidentally entered Chu Huan's villa, he just invited him out. Now it's Chu Huan who took the initiative to beat someone. No matter how you look at it, it's his fault." first?"

"It doesn't look like this!" Zheng Mengxian said worriedly: "In North America, private residences are sacred and inviolable places. Let alone Chu Huan ordered Liu Di to be beaten, even if Chu Huan ordered people to shoot at that time, it doesn't matter. of!"

   "Fuck, is that an exaggeration?" Zheng Shiyong froze for a moment.

   "It's such an exaggeration!" Zheng Mengxian said helplessly: "After this publicity on TV, the reputation of our Hyundai Group in North America is bad!"

   On TV, David Maxwell had finished talking about the grievances between Chu Huan and the Zheng family, and then made his own conclusion.

"It's hard for me to understand. For the party who made the mistake first, I didn't think about how to get forgiveness from the other party. It turned out that I should use my family's influence in South Korea to block Mr. Chu Huan's business in South Korea. Should I say that I don’t understand the domineering character of South Koreans, or should I say that there is no normal business and investment environment in South Korea?”

  Listening to David Maxwell's murderous remarks on TV, Zheng Shiyong and Zheng Zhouyong's faces turned a little pale.

  If it is other countries, other people say these things, they don't care at all.

   But North America is different!

   North America is the father of South Korea!

   Now that some people are talking bad things about their father, it is conceivable that after this interview news is expanded over time, the entire North American business community will seriously consider the investment environment in South Korea.

  As for North America, where businessmen are controlled by capital, when their capital begins to have doubts about the investment environment in South Korea, North America will also have doubts about the investment environment in South Korea!

   Such consequences are definitely not what the Park Chung-hee government in South Korea wants to see.

  The two thought of this and looked at each other. Zheng Shiyong said: "We must find a way to prevent this interview from entering South Korea!"

"yes!"

  Jung Mong-heon preached without hesitation.

  As long as this interview is known to more South Koreans, no matter who wins or loses in the war between Chu Huan and Ford Motor, Hyundai Group will shed a layer of skin!

  Chu Huan, what a cruel heart!

  Returning his eyes to Zheng Mengxian on the TV, a man with a very vague image appeared in his mind. This man was naturally Chu Huan. He had only seen pictures of Chu Huan, so the image of Chu Huan in his mind was very vague.

   Could it be that he really doesn't know what the consequences of doing this are?

  He will completely lose the South Korean market!

  For Zheng Shiyong and Zheng Monghun, the interview clips that were a catastrophe are actually irrelevant to Max Channing, and they are also irrelevant to those North Americans who are watching the news in front of the TV.

  They want to know more about the acquisition between North America and Ford!

Max Channing: "Since what you said, David, North America's acquisition of Ford Motor has nothing to do with the friendship between Chu Huan and Hyundai Group, but it is undeniable that it is exactly what happened between Chu Huan and Hyundai Group. After the grievances and grievances of the North America, North American library began to buy the stock of Ford Motor, what do you say about this matter?"

David Maxwell: "The stock of Ford Motor was acquired because Ford Motor has an excellent history, and it is now the second largest car company in North America. I think for anyone who wants to enter the auto industry, No one would give up the possibility of getting a Ford if it were possible, would they?

As for the timing of the acquisition, it can only be said to be a coincidence. Mr. Chu Huan has always been very interested in Ford Motors. Even if that incident did not happen, Mr. Chu Huan would still choose to initiate the acquisition of Ford Motors at this time. of! "

  The last sentence, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is nonsense, but there is no way, what should be said is what needs to be said.

Max Channing: "Just now, David, you said that Ford Motor is the second largest car brand in the United States, but everyone understands that the Ford family is exercising the AB stock policy for Ford Motor, which actually shows that you want to The difficulty of acquiring Ford Motors.

In addition, our TV station also knows about Mr. Chu Huan's net worth. Even if Mr. Chu Huan wants to acquire General Motors, it is not impossible. Why should he focus on the second, but the difficulty of acquiring Ford Motor is the first? What about him? "

David Maxwell showed a smile, and then said: "It should be because the market value of Ford Motor is lower. To be honest, we don't think the acquisition of Ford Motor is so difficult, at least it is easier than General Motors." .”

   "Hmph, I really don't know what it means!" Bill Ford is just a young man now, watching David Maxwell compare Ford and General Motors on TV, he looks very unhappy!

William Ford was not too angry and comforted: "There is nothing to be angry about. According to our investigation, this Chu Huan is a person who will exact revenge. Your father was going to humiliate him in the matter of the Ford Motor shareholders meeting. Naturally, he wanted to let him My own people have reported back, but this is just an ordinary verbal dispute after all, if you take it to heart, it will make us fall behind!"

  Bill Ford, who was comforted by William Ford, calmed down a little, but his dislike for Chu Huan increased exponentially.

   On TV, Max Channing continued to ask.

   "So, your company's acquisition of Ford Motor is inevitable?"

  David Maxwell: "It's a must!"

Max Channing: "However, according to the statement made by the Ford family yesterday, we can interpret that the other party is not even prepared to accept Chu Huan's entry into Ford's board of directors. The Ford family does not have the weight of discourse in Ford Motor. In addition, the Ford family has run Ford Motor for so many years, and the relationship is even more complicated. I think the possibility of Chu Huan wanting to join the Ford Motor Board of Directors is very small, and even the board of directors cannot be entered. How about an acquisition?"

  In front of the TV, all the people who didn't know Chu Huan's plan were sitting upright, watching David Maxwell on the TV seriously, because everyone knew that the meat scene was coming!

   Sure enough, David Maxwell's next answer did not disappoint these people.

"Although the Ford family is now the largest shareholder of Ford Motor, to be honest, it is precisely because of this that Mr. Chu Huan wants to acquire Ford Motor, because Mr. Chu Huan believes that the Ford family can no longer support Ford Motor, which is well-known in North America. car brand."

  The gunpowder-flavored answer made everyone in front of the TV extremely nervous. Is this Chu Huan's official declaration of war against the Ford family?

   "David, your answer is very interesting, can you tell us more about it?" Max Channing is also leading the topic to the answer that everyone wants to know!

  In fact, even if Max Channing didn't ask, David Maxwell would tell the reason, because this is one of the reasons why he is on TV today.

"It's very simple. Let's start with Hyundai Motor. We have already talked about the situation of Hyundai Group before. The leader of this group turned out to be a leader who does not respect North American laws. For such people, it is difficult for us to guarantee that they can Adhering to basic business rules, if such a situation occurs in the future, it will be the second most devastating blow to Ford Motor.

  Secondly, in terms of the Ford family's attitude towards investors, we always believe that the business environment in North America is inclusive and open, allowing all investors to invest.

  But this is not the case for the Ford family. They use AB shares to firmly control the control of Ford Motor, and they will not listen to any investors' suggestions.

  In fact, before this, Mr. Chu just wanted to simply invest in Ford Motors, because Mr. Chu Huan understood that no one had the Ford family's affection for Ford Motors.

  But during the acquisition process, Mr. Chu Huan understood a truth, that is, excessive doting cannot make a company grow healthily.

At this time, Mr. Chu Huan was already one of the major shareholders of Ford Motor, but no one from the Ford family had actively contacted Mr. Chu Huan from the beginning of the incident. Mr. Shi chose to leave North America for Switzerland during this time period.

   We don't know of anything more important in Switzerland than all the shareholders of Ford Motor.

  If this is the case, can we think that Mr. Ford II did not take the shareholders of Ford Motor seriously? "

Snapped!

   It was Bill Ford who threw away the Coke bottle this time!

   "Convert black and white, reverse black and white!" Bill Ford shouted loudly: "This Chu Huan is really abominable. He even confuses himself with the shareholders of Ford Motor. He is slander!"

  Everyone knows that Ford II chose to leave North America at this time, purely to make Chu Huan look bad, not to look down on Ford Motor shareholders.

But now after David Maxwell said this on TV, he directly misinterpreted the meaning of Ford II. Even those shareholders of Ford Motor who understand Ford II's approach will definitely not be happy at this time of!

   "Sly Orientals!" William Ford couldn't help but preach.

  Max Channing on TV naturally couldn’t hear William Ford and Bill Ford’s condemnation, but as a successful host, she keenly grasped a key point in what David Maxwell said just now.

   "Just now, David, you said that the cooperation with Hyundai is the second major loss of Ford Motor, so what is the first major loss?"

  Faced with Max Channing's question, this time David Maxwell did not answer immediately, but showed a embarrassed expression.

   But the more this expression, the more people want to know why.

  William Ford in front of the TV looked at David Maxwell's expression, and his heart sank for no reason. He always felt that what David Maxwell was going to say next was very serious.

  “Although we are now the major shareholder of Ford Motor, for the sake of more people who hold Ford Motor stock, we still feel that they have the right to know.”

   That's right, such an opening statement immediately let everyone know that what David Maxwell is going to say next must be a heavy news that cannot be more important.

   "I think many people know about the development and production of the Continental by Ford Motor Company?"

   Facing David Maxwell's inquiry, Max Channing nodded and said: "Of course I know, this car can be said to be the most failed model of Ford Motor in the past ten years!"

   "Don't say it, don't let him say it!" William Ford in front of the TV couldn't help standing up on the sofa at this time, and shouted at the TV.

  Bill Ford looked at his uncle so terrified, his face changed accordingly.

  David Maxwell on TV naturally couldn’t hear William Ford’s call, and continued: “The Continental is Ford’s biggest loss.

Although Ford Motor publishes its financial report to the board of directors and shareholders every year, I think the friends in front of the TV may not know that just this one model has caused Ford Motor to lose more than 15% of the losses in the past two years. billion dollars, and this loss is still continuing, which is why we have been able to continue to buy Ford Motor shares in the stock market, but the Ford family has not moved.

  Because they no longer have enough liquidity to buy Ford Motor stock! "

  Boom!

   This news is like a blockbuster, directly exploding in the ears of all the audience in front of the TV!

  Everyone who exploded was dizzy, and no one thought that such a thing would happen to Ford Motor.

  In fact, this financial report was released by Ford Motor, but after the announcement, the Ford family immediately used their own influence to reduce this influence.

  Now is not the future. Anyone who puts an announcement on the Internet can see it. People who don’t pay special attention to this stock will not pay attention to these things.

   Even people who pay attention to Ford Motor stock, as long as they find a way to hide it, not many people will see it.

   But it is different now, David Maxwell will speak out about this matter under the circumstances of this much-anticipated situation.

  This is equivalent to tearing off Ford's fig leaf.

  The impact can be imagined.

"Call, call quickly!" William Ford stood there blankly, and said to Bill Ford: "Call your father quickly and ask him to come back from Switzerland immediately. This matter must be resolved as soon as possible, and there will be no delay Sorry!"

   This is the chapter on the 7th, and it will be released at 12 o'clock. I want to compete for this week's combat power list. It should be three shifts during the day~~
