Chapter 3844: Bargain for Acquisition
Beg! The youngest mayor of a big city in the history of the United States looked at him with a pleading tone and eyes, begging him to help him. No matter how low-key Lin Feng is, he still feels confident at this moment. What's more, Lin Feng has never been a low-key person.
"Mayor Kilpatrick, you can leave." Lin Feng opened the car door again, his face as calm as before, without a trace of waves. This calm made Mayor Kilpatrick despair. He opened his mouth to speak, but finally gave up. If Lin Feng is here to help, it will be useless no matter how much he talks.
Finally, Mayor Kilpatrick dragged his tired and heavy steps away.
"Boss, what happened?" Li Rui came in and asked.
Lin Feng explained Kilpatrick's situation. You cannot say these words to Lin Chiling and others. Lin Feng didn't want them to get involved in these dark things. Besides, Lin Feng never believed that women were creatures who could keep secrets. If you tell Lin Chiling yourself, then Lin Chiling will definitely tell Avril and the others in the future. And the more people who know, the greater the chance that the secret will be revealed. In particular, women often like to share everything with their besties. And best friends are sometimes the most unreliable.
"Boss, in fact, we can help him with this matter and let Kevin Mitnick and others take action. I believe it is not difficult to delete these 14,000 text messages. We can do it seamlessly." Li Rui suggested . Li Rui would not put forward any opinions on whether to help Mayor Kilpatrick. This decision needed to be made by Lin Feng.
"Haha, of course I know it will be done flawlessly. Because who would have thought that a group of hackers would hack some call records of the Detroit Telephone Company. So, I will naturally help him. But I must let him know that it is not easy. Lin Feng said with a smile. "Let him be anxious for a few days first. Things that are too easy to obtain will not be cherished."
Li Rui nodded. This is human nature. If something is obtained too easily, people will often forget where it came from. Just like our parents' love for us, we are loved so naturally and thoroughly, so we often don't think about how to love our parents. On the contrary, my wife loves her so hard, defeating countless opponents and paying countless prices to marry her home. That's why I cherish it so much.
Anything, the harder it is to get, the more people cherish it. Therefore, Lin Feng will let Kilpatrick hang out for a few days. Anyway, this matter will not be traced to him so quickly. At present, we will first acquire Chrysler through formal channels. As for how to acquire it, from a big profit perspective, it is best to acquire it through Shenlong Automobile. But there is a Chinese government involved. This will be a little more troublesome.
After thinking about it, Lin Feng called Jessica Alba. A pure American. Unlike Avril Lavigne who is Canadian, Sharapova is Russian. Jessica Alba, pure American. Of course, Ivanka Trump will do, but that woman is not her after all. The relationship between myself and Donald Trump is very delicate.
Therefore, it is better not to pierce this layer of paper for the time being.
Soon, Jessica Alba arrived in Detroit. As for Avril Lavigne, she is still busy in Los Angeles. During this time, so many signed singers are busy, and it is impossible for the little punk princess to come over. As for Christmas, she spent it with a group of singers.
"Boo!" They met for a deep kiss.
"Hi, Jessica, let me introduce you to my chief investment adviser, Mr. Bill Clinton." Lin Feng introduced Jessica to Clinton with a smile.
"Hi, Mr. President, I voted for the Democratic Party before!" Jessica chuckled. "Of course, I was not an adult at that time and did not have the right to vote, but my father is a Democrat!"
"Haha, beautiful Ms. Alba, I am your fan. I watched your "Fantastic Four" three times!" Clinton laughed and said, with a flash of understanding in his eyes. He knew that Lin The wind has made its choice.
"Lin, Jessica, let's get straight to the point. Based on the current situation of the acquisition of Chrysler, I propose that 'Dragon Motors', Jessica, and you will jointly fund the acquisition, of which Jessica holds the largest shareholding." One thing, you should put it first, and 'Dragon Automobile' should be the last thing. This can avoid the backlash from some hawks and use their connections to ask the Department of Commerce to terminate this transaction!" Clinton said, "Also, Jessica! The source of funds must be resolved. It cannot be funded by you, otherwise it will be regarded as your acquisition, and you are not an American, and you don’t even have a US green card!”
The acquisition of American companies by Chinese investors has always been a focus issue in the United States. Especially Lin Feng, a sensitive person. When Lam Feng acquired ‘amd’, it seemed very successful. But there are actually undercurrents surging behind the scenes. In the end, it was the hawks who concluded that when Lin Feng faced a strong opponent like Intel, even if he tried his best, he would not be able to save amd. In the end, he would be dragged into the abyss by Intel, even if the Chinese government was behind it. The same goes for aid, which is why the U.S. Department of Commerce finally released it. After all, "amd" at that time was really in debt and the situation was in a precarious position. It can be said that it would be very easy for "Intel" to defeat it in one fell swoop.
It is a good deal to use 'AMD', which can never compete with 'Intel', to drag down Lin Feng and even drag down China's economic development. After all, once a giant company like 'AMD' starts to lose money, it is absolutely a bottomless pit. Hundreds of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars may be lost. Although this money will not really hurt China, it will at least drag down China's development speed. Especially once 'AMD' inventory is too large, the Chinese government may adopt policies to rescue the market and issue administrative orders for Chinese people to purchase 'AMD' products.
If that happens, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among Chinese people, and at the same time, it will lag behind in technology. When 'Intel' launches newer and better products one after another, this contradiction will accumulate among Chinese people. It may be fine for the time being, but it will explode one day after accumulation. It's like two people getting along, and suddenly one day, one person gets angry with you, not because of what you are doing at the moment that makes him so angry, but because he has long had complaints about you, and today's explosion is just a burst of accumulated emotions.
But who knew that Lin Feng would bring AMD back to life through his abilities and games. Although AMD still cannot compete with Intel in the high-end application market, it has swept Intel in the mid- and low-end market with its strong and near-monopolistic dominance in graphics cards. This must be said to be something that all hawks did not expect.
The acquisition of Chrysler is naturally an extremely sensitive matter. Although Clinton, on behalf of the investor, that is, Lin Feng, has contacted Chrysler's management in the past 24 hours, the Chrysler Group is very willing to sell Chrysler. After all, it is currently losing tens of billions of dollars, and the US auto industry has no signs of recovery. As for the emerging third-party auto market, Chrysler has not been able to compete with Japanese and European cars. In this case, avoiding greater losses and ensuring the interests of shareholders have become the first priority.
But the problem with the acquisition is that Jessica, as the main investor of the acquisition, does she have so much money? As far as Clinton knows, Jessica's current assets barely exceed 100 million US dollars, and the funds for the acquisition of Chrysler are at least over 7 billion US dollars, and it is very likely to reach 8 billion US dollars. As the main investor, Jessica has to put up at least 3.5 billion US dollars. Where does this money come from?
Jessica was shocked when she heard that Lin Feng was going to let her acquire Chrysler as the main investor. However, she did not refute or ask, but just sat quietly beside Lin Feng. This acquisition is naturally related to Lin Feng's business plan. She always felt that she helped Lin Feng too little. Unlike Avril who was in charge of "Second Entertainment" and could help Lin Feng discover many singing talents, she was not like Lin Chiling who could directly help Lin Feng in his work. Moreover, she was not pregnant and failed to give Lin Feng a child. This made her feel that her existence around Lin Feng was not valuable. Now, this is an opportunity. She is happy to help Lin Feng.
"Investment funds!" Lin Feng frowned. This is indeed a trouble. If Avril or Ivanka came, this money would not be a problem. But Jessica Alba does not have so much money. Although her acting salary is very high, Lin Feng offered her a very high salary, but no matter how high the salary is, it can only barely make Jessica's assets exceed 100 million. Compared with these billions of dollars, it is still too far, too far.
"Bill, do you have any good suggestions?" Lin Feng asked.
"Well, for now, there are several solutions. One is to find a loan from an American bank, use the future shares of "Chrysler" as collateral, and carry out loan acquisition. In your Chinese language, it is called "empty-handed white wolf". I personally prefer this solution. Although the interest paid will be higher, it can perfectly solve Jessica's problem. Of course, it will also leave some hidden dangers. The second solution is to find a partner, an American, and partner with him. Jessica can partner with him in a name with fame or technology, and then carry out the acquisition. But in this way, you will have another partner. There is also a third way, that is, you get married now, then you have the acquisition qualification! Lin, marriage is the easiest way to solve this acquisition qualification!" Clinton said with a smile.
Americans acquire American companies, and no one can say no! Clinton laughed. (To be continued...)
