Living like a salted fish in the end times

Chapter 218 Break up
"20.00%?"

Sterling frowned subconsciously.

Everyone present, including Zhou Jianneng, also had similar expressions.

It's just that unlike other people, Zhou Jianneng felt that he had given too much. According to his thinking, at most one achievement would be enough.

It's just a "broken household", do you really think of yourself as a dish?Don't even look at what place is here?
If it wasn't for the elder nephew's face, if it were him, he would definitely turn around and leave on the spot. The technology of electric vehicles has already matured, and there is really no shortage of that technology.

Zhang Hao quickly explained: "In order to win BYD, we have prepared a total of 2000 billion acquisition funds, 20.00% is 400 billion, which is really a lot."

"We have a full set of truck technology in our hands. I think you all know how out of stock Sinotruk is now?"

Sterling cited his strengths.

"Sterling, I won't hide it from you, we are not planning to invest in heavy truck projects for the time being."

Zhang Hao shook his head.

Sterling was very surprised: "Why?"

"Sinotruk's competition is too fierce. We may not be able to compete with those big state-owned enterprises. They occupy the home court advantage. I don't want to head-to-head with them."

"What are you afraid of? As long as our trucks have better performance, I believe the higher authorities will not discriminate between public and private. Besides, there is competition in the production of private cars."

"Different."

"What's the difference?"

Zhang Hao organized his language and threw out his own answer: "According to the analysis of the current situation, state-owned enterprises will bear more and more responsibilities, and profit is no longer the main purpose, and it doesn't even matter whether they make money or not.

Everyone knows that the logistics industry is related to the national economy and the people's livelihood, so I don't need to say more about its importance.

Once those state-owned car companies focus on trucks, private cars are our opportunity, which is why I don't invest in Sinotruk. "

Sterling was silent for a moment. He admitted that what the other party said made sense, but it was really impossible for him to give up the Sinotruk project.

Facing difficulties is his consistent style.

More importantly, investing in Sinotruk is both a challenge and an opportunity for their company. If the project is successful, it will greatly enhance their status in the Federation.

This is the key to the comeback of "Faraday".

They are outsiders, and they don't have much money. Only by relying on official support can they rebuild "Faraday" and even return to the king.

Seeing that his boss was silent, James, the vice executive president, quickly added:

"Mr. Zhang, in addition to the Sinotruk project, our company has made good progress in technologies such as batteries, chips, and autonomous driving."

Zhang Hao nodded with a smile: "As the largest car company in the Federation, I certainly don't doubt your research and development capabilities. The value of these technologies is beyond doubt."

Acquisition of these technologies is necessary, in order to adapt to the current environment, but also in order to overcome other competitors, they need to upgrade existing technologies.

To give a simple example, severe cold will seriously reduce the cruising range of electric vehicles. If you encounter extreme weather, you will have to put a question mark on whether you can start it.

Besides that, the air conditioner was a big hassle.

Generally, air conditioners consume too much power. If you can change the heating method, there may be unexpected joy.

According to the memory in the dream, graphene is a good research direction. After the acquisition of BYD, technicians can follow up.

This thing is versatile and the future is endless.

"Mr. Zhang, the value of these technologies is definitely more than a mere 400 billion. I hope to be treated fairly by you." Sterling looked hopeful.

Zhou Jianneng retorted on the spot: "Impossible, absolutely impossible. The Federation just passed a temporary patent law last month. According to the new regulations, no one or organization can monopolize patents in the future. The actual value of patents will be greatly reduced. 400 billion It's already expensive."

"Sterling, Mr. Zhou's words are also what I want to say. You can no longer look at what is happening now from the perspective of the past. 400 billion is really a lot."

Zhang Hao followed closely and echoed.

Sterling didn't want to give up easily, and thought of a new plan after turning his head: "Mr. Zhang, I suggest that you simply buy our 'Faraday' together. BYD is in charge of the private car project, and Faraday is in charge of the heavy truck project. The two companies are independent." operate without interfering with each other.”

Zhou Jianneng was immediately moved, and kept winking at his eldest nephew. This plan was the best of both worlds.

You know, the current Faraday Company, apart from the patented technology in hand, is only an empty shell, and it does not need to spend more money to acquire it.

Unfortunately, Zhang Hao was not moved at all.

Rejected on the spot.

He really didn't want to fight against those big state-owned enterprises. It was an iron rice bowl for millions of people. No matter how good Faraday's technology was, it would be difficult to break the situation.

If it hurts yourself, it will be even worse.

In short, he was firmly opposed to such a thankless task, and even gave up the acquisition.

Next, Sterling threw out two similar plans, but unfortunately they were unsuccessful.

Zhang Hao only wanted to acquire the patented technology, and suppressed the shares to death. He refused to accept anything else, and the demands of the two parties could not be reconciled at all.

In the end, the dinner was over and the two parties broke up unhappy.

……

On the way back, Zhou Jianneng took the initiative to comfort Zhang Hao. If the eldest nephew hadn't insisted on the management right, he would have already acquired "Faraday" by now.

"Xiaohao, the ghosts have a lot of thoughts, and it's not easy to get along with them at first glance. We are greedy for their technology patents, but they want to occupy the magpie's nest. It is right not to cooperate."

Seriously speaking, Zhou Jianneng is not qualified to say such things at all. He is not a good person himself, and he also has various small thoughts.

"It's a pity that such a good opportunity."

Zhang Hao took a deep breath.

Faraday is the leader in the electric vehicle industry, and its market value was once more than ten times that of BYD. If it can win those patented technologies, it will be equivalent to giving BYD a pair of wings to take off.

Zhou Jianneng flicked the cigarette ash out of the car window: "Why don't we wait and see? It's useless for them to keep the technical patents, and they will sell them sooner or later."

"I'm afraid we have to wait. Sterling is not the kind of person who gives up easily." Zhang Hao shook his head, and then said worriedly: "Through this meeting, I am now a little worried about Wang Chuanxi."

These business leaders are not easy to deal with.

He thinks things too simply.

Zhou Jianneng was startled, and quickly threw away the cigarette butt in his hand: "No way? If he had this ability, BYD would not have fallen to where it is today. Besides, Zhou Gengnian also said that Wang Chuanxi is not in good health. Even if you have the heart, you can’t do anything.”

"You can't take it lightly, who knows if these old Jianghu have left behind?"

Zhang Hao said earnestly.

Zhou Jianneng rubbed his forehead irritably:
"We have prepared so much, are we going to get nothing? If the acquisition fails, those people in the chamber of commerce will definitely scold us to death."

"Is there a 100% success in doing business? Besides, this acquisition doesn't cost much, at most it's just a waste of time."

Zhang Hao didn't take it seriously.

Zhou Jianneng smiled bitterly: "Xiaohao, let me remind you that in order to raise funds, many members of the chamber of commerce have sold their property. This is not a joke."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about it at the end of the month! Maybe we are thinking too much."
