Chapter 483 The collapse of Hyundai Group (7K chapters, please subscribe~)

  ‘A car brand with a history of nearly a hundred years was defeated by a mysterious oriental rich man! '--"New York Times"

  “Just yesterday, with a history of 73 years in North America, Ford Motor, the second largest car brand in the United States, officially accepted Chu Huan, a rich man from Xiangjiang, as the director of the company.

  Everyone who knows what happened, understands that this is not just a simple board increase.

  Chu Huan, a mysterious tycoon from Xiangjiang, used his astonishing wealth and miraculous financial skills to defeat the Ford family, a traditional wealthy family in North America, and became the second largest shareholder of Ford Motor and the director of the company by means of almost robbery.

  But it is undeniable that after Chu Huan destroyed the stock price of Ford Motor, at the same time he saved the stock price of Ford Motor which was on the verge of collapse!

  Yesterday, the North American stock market opened. Affected by the loss of Continental Motors, Ford Motor’s stock price dropped from last Friday’s closing price of US$1.8 per share to US$0.89 per share, a drop of more than half.

  However, with the launch of the Asian project between Ford Motor and the Jiaku Department, Ford Motor’s stock price closed at $1.43 per share yesterday, although it is not as good as the previous average level, but the loss is not serious, which shows that Wall Street attaches great importance to the Asian market.”

  ‘This is an acquisition full of deceit from beginning to end, Chu Huan deceived everyone! ’--The Wall Street Journal

   "Yesterday, the sensational acquisition of Ford Motor stock in North America finally came to an end. Chu Huan used the most despicable means to achieve his goal and became the director of Ford Motor.

   Ford, which has a history of 73 years, will fall into the trap of the Orientals.

  Chu Huan, a tycoon from Xiangjiang, his business involves imitation clothing, real estate, media, and games.

Before buying Ford Motor stock, Chu Huan announced that he would buy Ford Motor in its entirety. At this moment, it seems that this is the first lie Chu Huan told everyone. His purpose from beginning to end was actually to want Borrow the power of capital to achieve the purpose of revenge on Hyundai Motor, a new car company from South Korea.

  In fact, in terms of results, Chu Huan is very likely to succeed.

  When purchasing Ford Motor stock, Chu Huan joined hands with shareholders who were dissatisfied with the Ford family's control of Ford Motor, and gained their support on the grounds of overthrowing the Ford family's control of Ford Motor.

   But this Chu Huan is obviously a capricious villain. After gaining the support of these shareholders, he turned around and contacted the Ford family, and used those shareholders as bargaining chips to rob the Ford family of shares in Ford Motor.

  Ford II, who was once such a proud person, also seemed a little difficult to resist Chu Huan's capricious behavior, and finally had no choice but to accept Chu Huan as the director of Ford Motor.

  Through the fact that Chu Huan became a shareholder of Ford Motor, we have reason to suspect that what Chu Huan said about co-creating the Asian business unit with Ford Motor is probably just a talk plan.”

  ‘An acquisition never before seen in North American history! '--"Washington post"

  ‘At this moment, we have witnessed history! ’ -- "Los Angeles Times"

  The four major North American newspapers all published news on Tuesday that Chu Huan had acquired Ford Motor stock and became a director.

   However, the focus of each newspaper is different, but one thing is certain, that is, the "Wall Street Journal" is blacking out Chu Huan as always.

  Chu Huan, who has returned to New York, is currently in the villa, reading several major newspapers in North America with Cao Yunshang.

  In fact, not only Chu Huan, Cao Yunshang, Guo Bingxiang and others also came to Chu Huan's villa early this morning.

   "A Huan, you must have dug Warren Philip's ancestral grave, right? Why is the Wall Street Journal trying so hard to hack you?"

  Guo Bingxiang shook the "Wall Street Journal" in his hand and preached angrily.

  Chu Huan smiled indifferently, and said, "Have you seen the behavior of those Xiangjiang punks after being beaten?"

  Guo Bingxiang and the others glanced at each other and shook their heads in unison. How could they have time to go back and pay attention to these things.

Chu Huan said with a smile: "After those punks were beaten up, they didn't dare to say anything in front of the other party, but after those people left the scene, those punks would spit on the ground, and then angrily Let me just say the last thing, wait until I get up later!

The current "Wall Street Journal" is like this, just like the gangsters on the streets of Xiangjiang. When you get beaten, you always have to use your own platform to bark. If you put them in your eyes, you will give them face. ! "

  Zheng Jiachun gave Chu Huan a thumbs up and said, "Warren Phillips should really hear this!"

  Chu Huan laughed and said, "How about one of you find a chance to tell them my evaluation of them?"

After everyone laughed, Guo Bingxiang asked Chu Huan again: "Ah Huan, this time the acquisition of Ford Motor cost you a total of 1.3 billion US dollars. Although you have also become a director of Ford Motor, the money is just like this. Is it worth the loss outweighs the gain?"

   Is it really worth the loss?

   From the bright side, Chu Huan exchanged 1.3 billion dollars in cash for Ford Motor stocks, which are only 1.1 billion dollars based on the current valuation of Ford Motors. From the book, Chu Huan lost 200 million dollars.

   And also lost his cash flow, this deal is not worth it.

   But actually!

   "You also think Xiangjiang is not suitable to be a car brand, right?"

  Chu Huan did not directly answer Guo Bingxiang's question, but asked them another question.

  When Chu Huan was negotiating with Ford II, Ford II had told William Ford that Xiangjiang was not suitable for establishing his own car brand.

   Now that Chu Huan asked these people again, everyone fell silent for the first time.

In the end, it was Michael Kadori who took the lead in preaching: "It is not suitable. Xiangjiang is too small to support a car brand. At the same time, it is not suitable for labor. I don't know if you have noticed. It has already started to double and increase, I think this is why you, A Huan, started to transfer your factory to Southeast Asia and other countries, right?"

  In Chu Huan’s view, the growth of an automobile brand cannot be separated from the local environment.

According to statistics, the current population of Xiangjiang is 4.478 million, that is to say, there are about 1 million families, but among them, only half of the families can afford a car, and those of Chu Huan and his level are also deducted. The following giants, because these giants only have the world's top luxury cars in their eyes, and they are definitely not a new car brand.

In addition, Chu Huan also has the same idea as Ford II and others. Nowadays, the entire Asian auto market is actually divided into two parts. In Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea and other places, more Japanese cars are used. And emerging South Korean cars are the main ones, and other places are mainly European and American cars and their local cars.

   No matter how you look at it, if Chu Huan wants to establish a car brand in Xiangjiang, it will be courting death.

  If a car brand cannot get its own local market, the chances of survival are really much lower.

Chu Huan nodded and said, "Xiangjiang is really not suitable for establishing our own car brand, but maybe in a few years there will be a place suitable for us to establish our own car brand. Now I will arrange my own people first. I went to Ford Motors to learn their management techniques and production techniques. After this place appears in the future, I only need to arrange the funds and equipment, and then I can go straight to the horse.

  Besides, at that time, because of my cooperation with Ford, I already had my own sales channels, which would save me a lot of trouble.

The most important thing is that this is a long-term project, and during this period of time, I believe that the stock price of Ford Motor will continue to grow, even exceeding the interest of the bank and the growth of some ordinary investment returns, and what I need The payment is actually only during this period of time, and the financial situation is tighter. No matter how you look at it, it is a cost-effective deal.

Ladies and gentlemen, don’t forget that the reason why Ford Motor was able to form an all-round suppression of Hyundai Motor is not only because Ford Motor is the major shareholder of Hyundai Motor, but also because Ford Motor has mastered the production technology and technology that Hyundai Motor does not have. management technology.

  As long as we establish our own car brand, these problems will no longer exist. "

  After hearing Chu Huan's explanation, everyone realized that Chu Huan had set his sights on five or even ten years later.

Zheng Jiachun said: "Your idea is good, but one thing is very important, that is, the place you said is suitable for establishing a car brand. If there is no such place, then everything you are doing now will be nothing. It makes sense!"

  The rest of the people nodded, agreeing with Zheng Jiachun's opinion.

   "There will be. If it's really not possible, then I will be the second shareholder of Ford Motors honestly. If the Ford family is really unsupportable in the future, then I can replace them!"

  Chu Huan didn't tell them about going out to his hometown to make cars at this time. It wasn't that Chu Huan was guarding against everyone, but that Chu Huan's idea was really a shocking thing to them at this time.

  Actually, the automobile industry in my hometown is not so easy to enter. Although it has not been a few years since the reform and opening up in my hometown, it has experienced repeated and developed.

   Let’s take the automobile industry in my hometown as an example. Now it is only the world of self-produced brands. As for foreign brands, they will not be introduced until the mid-1980s. At that time, what the country needed was capital and technology.

   What Chu Huan is currently preparing for is actually these two things. Chu Huan has no shortage of funds. What Chu Huan lacks now is technology and brand influence. This is something Chu Huan can't do.

  So at the initial stage of the domestic auto industry, Chu Huan needs to devote more energy, and also needs to cooperate with his hometown

   This matter is too far away, Chu Huan still needs to move forward a little bit, so don't worry.

As for the investment of 1.3 billion U.S. dollars because of this accident, Chu Huan really doesn't care. In ten days or so, the companies under Chu Huan's name will provide Chu Huan with nearly 500 million U.S. dollars in liquidity again. The remaining 100 million US dollars from the last acquisition is enough for Chu Huan's next trip to Europe.

   You must know that Chu Huan did not use the development funds of these companies in North America when he acquired the shares of Ford Motor this time, such as the acquisition of banks by North American Jiaku.

   Now this matter is still proceeding in an orderly manner, and it is estimated that it will be completed in another two or three months.

   "The automobile industry is still too far away, but what I really want to know now is." Zhao Shizeng looked at Chu Huan curiously and asked, "Did Zheng Zhouyong from Hyundai Group call you?"

  When Zhao Shizeng asked this question, the rest of the people also showed gossiping expressions, wanting to know the outcome of this matter.

  Chu Huan said with a relaxed smile: "Why don't you discuss when you will return to Xiangjiang?"

.

  ‘Never admit defeat, companies in the Republic of Korea don’t need to apologize to Chu Huan of Xiangjiang! ’--North Korea Daily

Last night, the main staff of the "North Korea Ilbo" headquarters stayed up all night. After ten o'clock in the evening, they received a call from Kim Se-jo in North America. There was no nonsense. The assembly told the left-behind staff at the headquarters of the "North Korean Ilbo" exactly, and at the same time sent the manuscript it had written back to the company by fax at around 1:00 in the morning.

  And this is the headline on the front page of the "North Korea Daily" this morning.

   "The Republic of Korea is an invincible nation, and the companies of the Republic of Korea are invincible companies. Even if Chu Huan became a shareholder of Ford Motor through despicable means, our Hyundai Group in the Republic of Korea should not succumb to Chu Huan.

Because the Republic of Korea is invincible, Hyundai is also invincible. The reason why Hyundai chose Ford's technology was because Hyundai valued Ford's technology, but if Ford chose to surrender to Chu Huan, then Hyundai Cars should give up Ford Motors.

  Let Ford understand how serious the loss of Hyundai would be to them”

   This report by "North Korea Ilbo" is not like a normal business report, but more like a call for war issued by "North Korea Ilbo".

   Zheng Juyong, who hadn't slept all night, looked at the "North Korea Ilbo" in his hand, and his hand muscle burst out, and he threw it to the ground.

   Standing beside him is Jung Mong Goo.

   Zheng Mengjiu understood why his father was angry. At 3 o'clock in the morning South Korean time, Zheng Zhouyong chose to bow his head to Chu Huan under the pressure of the Ford family.

   It is impossible not to bow your head. Without the support of Ford Motor, Hyundai Motor will lose its technology and capital. These are not acceptable to Zheng Zhouyong.

  So, after weighing the pros and cons, Zheng Zhouyong picked up the phone in humiliation, wanting to apologize to Chu Huan.

   No apology!

   As a result, after Chu Huan answered Zheng Zhouyong's call, he said that he would ask Zheng Zhouyong to go to Xiangjiang to apologize in person, otherwise the two parties would have nothing to talk about.

   This is not a slap in the face over the phone, but a face-to-face slap, or I personally sent it up.

   Such a result is naturally unacceptable to Zheng Zhouyong.

  So in the first phone call with Chu Huan, the two parties broke up unhappy in the end!

People in the arena involuntarily!

   It’s not only about people in the world, but also people in business!

  Zheng Zhouyong understood that if he really went to Xiangjiang to apologize to Chu Huan in person as Chu Huan said, then this matter would definitely be reported by the media in Xiangjiang.

   And this matter will definitely be reported by South Korean media.

  If this is the case, the image of Hyundai Group in the hearts of South Korean citizens who are extremely inferior but sensitive is really over!

   Therefore, Zheng Zhouyong cannot accept such a result.

   "Contact the major banks in South Korea, and at the same time contact several consortiums such as Samsung, Lotte, and SK!"

   Zheng Zhouyong, who was sitting on the sofa, was silent for a while, and then suddenly gave an order to Zheng Mengjiu.

Zheng Mengjiu understood that his father was looking for foreign aid. At this time, for Hyundai Group, the most important thing is to get enough funds to survive this time. As long as he has enough funds in his hands, Ford Motor will allocate funds. Things, not enough to have much of an impact on Hyundai.

"yes!"

   Afterwards, Zheng Mengjiu was about to leave Zheng Zhouyong's study to carry out his orders.

   But before Zheng Mengjiu left, Zheng Menggen rushed in hastily.

  Zheng Menggen in such a form naturally dissatisfied Zheng Zhouyong, who was already in a rage, picked up the teacup beside him and threw it, hitting Zheng Menggen impartially.

  The hot tea in the teacup made Zheng Menggen scream.

"Shut up!"

  Zheng Zhouyong reprimanded in disgust: "What time is it, and you are still frizzy, none of you can make me worry!"

  Zheng Menggen resisted the pain in his body, and he didn't even dare to slap the tea on his body. He just stood there with his hands and whispered to Zheng Zhouyong.

   "Father, something happened!"

  Zheng Zhouyong snorted coldly and said, "Can't the sky fall?"

  At this time, for Zheng Zhouyong, there is nothing more important than Chu Huan becoming the director of Ford Motor by robbery.

Zheng Menggen took out a newspaper from the **** pocket of his jeans, and said: "This is today's "Central Daily News". On it, there is an interview program about David Maxwell, the general manager of the North American library, in North America. Talk in the middle!"

   Zheng Zhouyong, who had been sitting there all this time, stood up abruptly on the sofa after listening. What kind of panic was Zheng Menggen just now, what kind of panic is Zheng Zhouyong at this time.

   Three steps and two steps came to Zheng Menggen's side, and directly snatched the "Central Daily" from the opponent's hand.

  About the content of David Maxwell’s interview on TV, Zheng Zhouyong has already watched the video tape, so he naturally knows the importance of this content, but he clearly explained that this report should not be published in South Korean newspapers, why now?

   Before he had time to think about it, Zheng Zhouyong hurriedly checked the contents of the newspaper.

  Looking at this, Zheng Zhouyong understood that the matter was over.

   It turned out to be the same as the video tape I saw before, thinking of David Maxwell's description of South Korea's investment environment above.

  Zheng Zhouyong's complexion suddenly turned pale.

Jingle Bell!

  The phone in Zheng Zhouyong's study rang.

   Zheng Mengjiu saw her father's expression, so she took the initiative to walk to the desk and picked up the phone on the desk.

  The call was made by Lee Byung-cheol of the Samsung Group. After knowing that it was Jung Mong-koo who answered the phone, Lee Byung-cheol preached calmly.

   "Ah Jiu, apologize to your father for me. The content on "Central Daily" was published by the people below without telling me. I have punished them severely."

  South Korea's "Central Daily" was founded by Lee Byung-cheol of the Samsung Group, but when Chun Doo-hwan was in power in South Korea, "Central Daily" was forcibly dissolved by the South Korean government and merged into KBS.

   But that will be a matter of the future. At this time, "Central Daily" is still in the hands of Samsung Group.

   "However, you should also remind your father that this exclusive interview has caused a huge sensation in North America, and it has also had a considerable impact on our investment environment in South Korea."

   Li Bingzhe hung up the phone after exhorting Zheng Mengjiu a few words on the phone.

   Zheng Mengjiu carefully told Zheng Zhouyong what Li Bingzhe said.

  After Zheng Zhouyong finished listening, he snorted coldly, "Things that make people worse!"

  The matter was not over yet. Just after complaining about Li Bingzhe, the phone in the study rang again.

  Zheng Mengjiu glanced at his father, seeing that the other party didn't intend to answer the phone, so he could only walk over to answer the phone by himself again.

  As a result, after hanging up the phone this time, Zheng Mengjiu said to Zheng Zhouyong with a nervous expression: "Father, it's the call from the President's Office. The other party asked you to go to the Blue House!"

  At this time, the power of the chaebols in South Korea has not yet reached its peak, and Park Chung-hee, who came to power through a coup, has more control over South Korea than the future South Korean president.

  So, now that the Blue House is calling, Chung Joo-young must also pay attention.

   But even if he paid more attention to it, he also knew that the Blue House let him go this time, it must be for the report in his hands.

   "Chu Huan!"

  Tearing the "Central Daily" in his hand to pieces, Zheng Zhouyong gritted his teeth and spit out Chu Huan's name.

   All of this can only be done by Chu Huan.

   "Father, how many consortiums are there to contact the bank?"

   Zheng Mengjiu asked carefully.

  Now, the Blue House calls, and they don’t know what the Blue House thinks about the current situation of Hyundai Group, so Chung Mong-koo can only ask Chung Joo-young.

  In South Korea, the bank loan system is different from other places.

  In other places, bank loans are made after evaluating the operating conditions of the lender, but in South Korea, bank loans are issued to consortiums based on government orders or hints.

  So, if the Park Chung Hee government starts to be disappointed with Hyundai Group, there is no way for Hyundai Group to lend money in South Korean banks.

In South Korea, the chaebols were promoted by the Blue House. Originally, they wanted to treat them as fat sheep in captivity, but they did not expect that the chaebols grew too fast and controlled the economy of South Korea. This made the history of South Korea in the next few decades. The history of every president who wanted to take back the power of the chaebol, but was secretly poked and attacked by the chaebol every time.

  But no matter how you say it, the Park Chung-hee government has done a lot to cultivate the chaebol, so Park Chung-hee has a lot of power in front of the chaebol.

  If Park Chung-hee wants to clean up the Hyundai Group, it will be relatively easy.

   "Everyone pushed the wall down, no need to contact!" Zheng Zhouyong seemed to have aged ten years all of a sudden, and his vigor had disappeared.

  North America is the father of South Korea, and Wall Street is the father of South Korea’s chaebols. With the emergence of this report, these chaebols in South Korea are no longer helping themselves.

  Hearing Zheng Zhouyong's words, Zheng Mengjiu's face changed, because the meaning contained in this sentence was that his father was going to admit his mistake to Chu Huan!

   "Release me the news, say that I am going to Europe for vacation during this time, and strictly order all the media in South Korea not to disclose my whereabouts, otherwise it will be an enemy of my Hyundai Group, and our Hyundai Group will never die!"

.

   "Hehe, going on vacation to Europe? That's a good reason!"

  In the most luxurious manor in Jiangnan District, Li Bingzhe, the helm of the Samsung consortium, and Li Jianxi, the future successor, are sitting together to discuss matters about the Hyundai Group.

  As the largest chaebol in South Korea, the Samsung Group started as a small chamber of commerce. It was the first to do trade, selling dried fish, vegetables, and fruits to Huaguo.

  However, as Syngman Rhee came to power, Li Bingzhe relied on his father and Syngman Rhee's good buddies to resell supplies and dollars and embezzle colonial assets, which made Samsung's assets increase 20 times within a year.

   This is the basis for the future development of the Samsung consortium.

  If Li Bingzhe established Samsung and established a good foundation for Samsung, then Li Kunxi is the hero who led Samsung out of South Korea and became the largest conglomerate in South Korea.

  Because in 1974, Li Jianxi bought a South Korean semiconductor company, aiming at the emerging memory technology at that time.

  However, the semiconductor war is bound to be a tragic war, and Samsung has not seen this scene yet.

   "Father, what do you mean, Zheng Zhouyong is just using this news to paralyze the people of South Korea, and went to Xiangjiang to apologize to Chu Huan?"

  Li Jianxi thought of this possibility.

  Li Bingzhe nodded slightly, and said, "Except for this possibility, there is nothing else."

  Li Jianxi thought of the side profile of Chu Huan in the "Fortune" he had seen before, and couldn't help saying: "I didn't expect that this time, Chu Huan really made it."

Li Bingzhe also said with some sighs: "If it was just a battle between Chu Huan and Hyundai Group, Chu Huan would not be able to win, but Chu Huan wisely chose to take advantage of the situation. The trend of Wall Street."

   Li Jianxi asked: "What about us? Should we follow what Zheng Zhouyong said?"

  Li Bingzhe simply pondered for a moment, and then said: "The people who informed the "Central Daily" will not be allowed to report news about Zheng Zhouyong of the Hyundai Group from today on!"

   After finishing speaking, Li Bingzhe explained to Li Jianxi: "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and Zheng Zhouyong's energy is still there. If you really make him anxious, it will not do us any good!"

  Li Jianxi nodded and said, "Understood!"

   "In the future, when you are outside, pay more attention to this Chu Huan. He has put in so much effort. I think he may make even bigger moves in South Korea!"

   Also, go to Huangshan to continue coding~~
