Chapter 178 (2/2)
This time, as John Chambers was responsible for all of them, a lot of money was saved on the price. The main content of the contract is that black cloud group acquires jeep and dodge automobile companies and Chrysler's two factories in Detroit.
Jeep and dodge stripped off the military department and only sold the brand and civil department to baozixuan. In fact, it's no use selling the military vehicle department to heiyun. It is impossible for Americans to hand over this industry related to national security to a non-U.S. company.
In addition, the operating rate of Chrysler plant is very low, so that many workers have nothing to do. Now the black cloud group has taken over all of them, which is a very good result.
The US Department of Commerce soon approved the acquisition if the black cloud group did not. Then the only way to wait for Chrysler's fate is to go bankrupt or the government. This is not the result that the U.S. Department of commerce wants to see, and once Chrysler really goes wrong after they veto the acquisition, the Department of Commerce will take the blame.
The purchase price is more than 800 million US dollars, which is the largest sum of money baozixuan has spent so far. If there is no oil futures income, I really can't get the money. But now everything is not a problem. After all, oil futures will have an income of more than $5 billion in the future. He can buy, buy and buy according to his preferences.
At the moment when shuangfa signs the contract, heiyun needs to pay Chrysler $820 million in the next three months, and the down payment of $200 million will arrive immediately after the contract is signed.
Baozixuan knows that dodge and Jeep are now under the black cloud group, and there are nearly 16000 workers in two factories. In fact, he doesn't want to recruit too many workers in the United States. In previous generations, the Germans were crushed by the pensions and high benefits of Chrysler American workers, resulting in a huge loss of more than $20 billion to get rid of Chrysler.
In order to avoid the mistakes of the Germans, heiyun must try to use automation equipment to reduce the number of workers in the future. However, the urgent task now is to appease these workers, which is a more annoying existence than the U.S. Department of Commerce.
After the contract was signed, the black cloud group remitted the first $200 million to Chrysler. Fortunately, there is not much spending now, and the monthly cash flow is very abundant. It's so happy to see black clouds. Madel Chrysler feels that the price is less. No matter what is done now, it can only act according to the contract.
Baozixuan is looking at the information of the two companies and the situation of the factory. Now there is finally a production workshop for hybrid vehicles. But the premise is that baozixuan wants to solve these workers.
Black cloud group is an unlisted company and does not need to disclose its operations to the public. But Chrysler is truly a listed enterprise, and every major transaction of Chrysler must be announced to shareholders.
People all over the world were shocked by baozixuan's courage when they knew that heiyun group had entered the automotive field with such a big bang. How much money did the boy have? He just bought Hutchison Whampoa and then bought an automobile company.
Many people are afraid that baozixuan will bring down the enterprise because of diversification, but the automobile industry knows. Here comes the wolf, who is not short of money.
