Chapter 1709 (1/2)
Davidson can't understand why Li Mu is so interested in cars, but he knows Li Mu's financial resources very well in his heart. It's nothing to do with Muye technology to acquire several poorly managed car brands.
As a rich man, Li Mu's expensive hobbies, even if he lost money, would not have a huge impact on him, so he didn't persuade him any more. He immediately agreed to help him bridge the gap between Ford and help Li Mu facilitate an interview with Ford.
Although not even Ford's people have seen it, Li Mu's mind has come up with a grand blueprint for the automobile industry.
Li Mu even figured out the name of the automobile industry group. The full name is Muye motor group, and the English name is Muye motor group.
Since it's an automobile group, it can't be put into the structure of Muye technology. Muye technology makes the investment and the shareholding ratio of existing shareholders is shifted, and then it is registered as a new group.
In the future, Muye Automobile Group will have at least five sub brands, one is Tesla, which has already earned money, and the other is the three sub brands that Ford has bought. Then it will build a ”Muye automobile” brand in China, and the strategic deployment of the five brands will be completed.
At that time, Tesla will be responsible for the R & D and manufacturing of pure electric vehicles, the R & D and adjustment of electric drive related technologies, and the export of electric drive related technologies to other sub brands to help other brands develop hybrid vehicles, even the future pure electric vehicles;
other four sub brands, Volvo, Jaguar and Land Rover are responsible for the production and R & D of their own product lines It also needs to be responsible for exporting the body technology needed by Tesla to Tesla, helping Tesla develop more pure electric vehicles, and even helping Tesla produce pure electric vehicles;
as for Muye automobile, in the future, it is mainly responsible for digesting the technology of other four sub brands, making full efforts to develop itself, first becoming a domestic well-known brand and occupying a sufficient market share in domestic vehicles Then consider going overseas.
In terms of the overall structure setting, the five sub brands belong to the ”automobile R & D and production” section. In addition, Li Mu plans to invest in a ”automobile sales” section, not only to build and maintain the automobile sales network, but also to build a direct sales network, or even an online sales network.
Although under each sub brand, there will be its own R & D department, Li Mu is still ready to build a group R & D center, which integrates the technology of all brands and integrates them. At the same time, it will also do research and development of higher adaptability technology, such as human-computer interaction, Internet of vehicles and other important technical fields in the future automobile industry.
If we follow such a scale structure, the capital scale needed by the whole Makino group is likely to exceed 50 billion US dollars or even higher.
But fortunately, there are banks and investment banks. Before the financial crisis, Li Mu had three or four years to get huge funds from banks and venture capitalists all over the world.
Automobile manufacturing industry is not an industry with a long profit cycle. If it works properly, it is not difficult to make profits.
Porsche can make a lot of money with a cayenne. Land Rover can make a lot of money with Range Rover and evoque. Even Gili can make more than one billion dollars a year. Li Mu has the experience of later generations, strong capital and publicity ability. He has no worries about the future profitability of Makino Automobile Group.
After passing through the Davidson ditch, Li muliche called Elon Musk again.
Li Mu told Elon Musk the idea of acquiring Jaguar Land Rover and Volvo. Even Elon Musk could not understand why Li Mu wanted to acquire so many car brands at once.
However, he knows more about Li Mu than Davidson Cooper. He knows that Li Mu never makes a big fuss about something for his hobby, especially something that needs a lot of money. This time, he wants to win three Ford sub brands at one go. He believes that Li Mu must have a complete plan and plan.
Moreover, he also knew that Li Mu called him, which was definitely not just to inform himself of this message, so he immediately asked: ”President Li, do you need my cooperation to do any work here?”
Li Mu said, ”I want you to help me build an elite team in automobile and finance in the United States. I need a mature team to participate in the negotiation with Ford at that time.”
”Tesla has some auto talent, and a couple of financial talents should be enough,” Elon Musk said
”Try not to affect Tesla's own work progress. This team is not only responsible for the negotiation with Ford, but also for the asset evaluation, including the related intellectual property evaluation. I hope this team can directly become the core management team of the group and help me complete the restructuring and optimization of the whole group,” said Li Mu
”Mr. Li, are you going to form an automobile group?” exclaimed Elon Musk
”That's right.” ”I want to build an automobile group like Volkswagen, GM, Ford and Toyota, and a super large passenger car group that spans fuel, hybrid and new energy power,” Li said with a smile
Elon Musk was shocked by Li Mu's ambition. If Internet people can invest in real industries, especially traditional manufacturing industries, Li Mu may be the only one.There is a unique atmosphere in the whole Silicon Valley, even in the Internet enterprises all over the world. All Internet users feel that they are engaged in high-tech industries, so they are very indifferent to traditional industries, and even have strong discrimination.
