In the conference room of the Chinese Embassy in Slovak, Zhao Guoyang seemed very calm in the face of Gu Jianbin's aggressive question.
After the big guy finished asking, Zhao Guoyang explained seriously: "Minister Gu, this problem, in fact, I have already analyzed it for you when I was in China. ” "That's right, the current cooperation between Songqi Group and FAW Group with Volkswagen and Audi is very pleasant and successful."
"However, we must also note that when cooperating with these two auto giants, our domestic auto companies are in a completely disadvantaged position."
Zhao Guoyang said with a somewhat solemn face: "To be honest, in the cooperation with Volkswagen and Audi, our domestic car companies are more playing the role of a foundry, and there is no technology at all."
Although Zhao Guoyang's words are true, they are still a little harsh.
After hearing these words, Mao Zhichun and Wu Jianlong, the two bigwigs on the side, looked a little uncomfortable.
Gu Jianbin didn't seem to expect Zhao Guoyang to speak so frankly, so he nodded imperceptibly at the moment.
Zhao Guoyang's elaboration continued, he took a breath and continued to speak: "Why do you want to buy the shares of Skoda Automobile, the reason is very simple. ” "Our domestic auto companies should not only be satisfied with the false prosperity of the domestic auto market, but should take a more long-term view."
Zhao Guoyang's eyes shot at Gu Jianbin and said sincerely: "Minister Gu, I have always believed that with the rapid development of our economic situation in China and the huge population base, even if domestic car companies such as Songqi Group and FAW Group continue to develop according to the current model, the profits will be very rich." ” "However, we all know what these profits are based on.
They are not because of the improvement of the level of our domestic automobile manufacturing industry, but because of the huge market and the country's tariff protection policy. ” After Zhao Guoyang's fierce remarks came out, all the cadres of the embassy, including Meng Liangyu and Gu Jianbin , all showed a shocked face.
Zhao Guoyang didn't pay too much attention to the change in their expressions.
He continued: "In my opinion, the profits of domestic auto companies are reused, but if we have been satisfied with giving modern factories to international auto giants, we do not have the ambition to improve the level of automobile manufacturing. ” "Even if it takes another 20 or 30 years, we will still be other people's foundries" "Of course, I don't mean to improve the level of domestic automobile manufacturing, the only way to buy Skoda Automotive.
But it's really the best opportunity we have right now."
After saying the last sentence, Zhao Guoyang nodded politely to Gu Jianbin and signaled that he had to say so much.
Gu Jianbin, who was sitting opposite him, looked at him seriously for a while, and then slowly said, "Researcher Zhao, I really didn't think of this reason before. ” "Although there are still doubts about whether your plan to swallow a big fish can be implemented smoothly, your thinking is absolutely correct."
Meng Liangyu, who was sitting upright on the side, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that his stubborn subordinate finally said something affirmative.
There was silence in the conference room for a long time, and many people in the embassy focused their attention on the young man in front of them.
After taking a sip of water, Wu Yichang, the economic counselor, asked Zhao Guoyang: "Researcher Zhao, I just listened to your explanation, and we have no objection to the domestic automobile companies joining forces to acquire Skoda's shares. ” "The only question left is how we can compete with other international auto giants."
"As far as I know, Skoda Motors sold 180,000 cars last year, and its total sales were almost $4 billion."
Wu Yichang is from an economic background, and his understanding of the data of "Skoda Automobile Company" is not unexpected by everyone.
Facing everyone's eyes, Counselor Wu continued to speak: "Although the figure of four billion US dollars is only about one-tenth of the Volkswagen Group, it is much more than the annual turnover of any car company in China. ” "Although Skoda is currently experiencing some financial troubles, even if it sells at a low price, we estimate that its overall selling price will not be less than $18 billion."
"Of course, Skoda may not sell all its shares.
But at the very least, if we want this thing to succeed, we estimate that we must prepare at least tens of billions of dollars. ” Speaking of this, Wu Yichang cast a questioning look at Mao Zhichun and Wu Jianlong: "Chairman Mao and Chairman Wu, with my understanding of the operating conditions of domestic automobile companies, even if Songqi Group and FAW Group join forces, I am afraid that they will not be able to come up with such a large amount of money."
Although Mao Zhichun and Wu Jianlong were a little embarrassed, they still honestly opened their voices: "Counselor Wu, you are right, our Songqi Group and FAW Group are all mobilized, and it is only a fraction of 10 billion."
Wu Yichang had expected this, and immediately turned his head to stare at Zhao Guoyang and said, "Researcher Zhao, since the gap in funds is so big, why do you seem to be full of confidence, this is what I am more curious about."
After Wu Yichang asked, Mao Zhichun quickly said: "Counselor Wu, I'll explain this situation to you."
In the curious eyes of Wu Yichang and other cadres of the embassy, Chairman Mao explained in 1510: "In fact, the small fish in Researcher Zhao's plan are not only our Songqi Group and FAW Group. ” Wu Jianlong also nodded and said: "Yes, in the newly established Huaxia Automobile Group Company, Counselor Wu, our FAW Group and Songqi Group only occupy 5 and 8 shares respectively. ” "The rest of the shares are occupied by Songjiang Pudong New Area Construction Company and our Chuncheng New Area Investment and Construction Company in Liaodong Province."
After Wu Jianlong's explanation, everyone in the embassy immediately understood.
Obviously, the establishment of this "Huaxia Automobile Group Company" is more from the perspective of national interests, and is not just a matter of the two sons of the Songqi Group and the FAW Group.
The explanations of Mao Zhichun and Wu Jianlong completely made the concerns of several leaders of the embassy disappear.
Meng Liangyu, who had not spoken up, said to Du Yitao with a smile after listening to the explanations of the two automobile manufacturing tycoons.
"Lao Du, with the support of the state, it seems that you come here this time, and the acquisition of Skoda Automobile Company is inevitable."
Du Yitao laughed twice, stretched out his finger and pointed at Zhao Guoyang and said, "Old Meng, with Researcher Zhao here, I am very confident in our mission this time."
Speaking of which, these economic experts in the embassy no longer have any doubts about Zhao Guoyang's plan of "small fish swallowing big fish".
Even Gu Jianbin, who has never been very optimistic about Zhao Guoyang, shook his head and sighed: "If this plan can be successful, it can really play a pivotal role in the development of our domestic automobile industry."
Listening to his words, Miao Jiawei, commercial counselor of the embassy, raised his own questions to Zhao Guoyang.
"Researcher Zhao, this plan of yours is completely feasible in theory."
"However, have you thought about a question, Skoda Car may only need to bring in some funds to improve the current business situation?"
Although Miao Jiawei's question was still unfinished, Zhao Guoyang still understood what he meant in an instant.
He nodded lightly and said, "Counselor Miao, I understand what you mean.
You are worried that Skoda Cars, on its part, has no intention of selling more than half of its shares. ” "In that case, if we buy each other's shares, it will be meaningless, right?"
Miao Jiawei sighed "hmm" and nodded: "That's right, Researcher Zhao, this is what I'm worried about." ” Zhao Guoyang smiled slightly, and explained unhurriedly: "Counselor Miao, before answering this question, please allow me to briefly talk about the history of Skoda Automobile Company."
"In 1895, in a small house on the outskirts of Prague, the Slovak capital of the Czech Republic, a small bicycle factory began its centennial journey."
"Václav Lorraine, a mechanic, and Václav Clement, a merchant, joined forces to form a small and humble company called K."
Subsequently, in 1900, they began to produce motorcycles.

Five years later, they started producing cars again."
"Soon, because of the outbreak of the First World War, the production of automobiles was hindered, and the strength of Company K was also weakened."
"After the war, in order to restore their former reputation, Wenceslas Lorraine and Wenceslas Clement approached the Skoda Persson Group, the largest industrial group in the country at that time, which was engaged in the production of agricultural machinery, aircraft engines and trucks, and began to produce cars under the Skoda brand."
"This was the beginning of Skoda cars and the end of the K era.
Wenceslas Lorraine and Wenceslas Clement, however, lost control of the company, but their wise decisions led to the factory's resurgence after the war. ” Looking at the bigwigs around him who listened to him with relish, Zhao Guoyang looked very calm.
"For the disadvantaged, finding a strong support is the basic rule of survival.
As a state, Czech Slovak is like this, and Skoda Cars has always done it. ” "In the bloody years to come, Skoda Automobile's method worked more than once, bringing the century-old factory back to life."
Speaking of this, a confident smile appeared on Zhao Guoyang's face.
He looked at Miao Jiawei and said: "So Counselor Miao, as long as it is confirmed that Skoda Automobile Company really has the intention of selling shares, I believe that they will definitely transfer more than 50 shares, or even 100, it is not impossible":
