Chapter 88: 1 big bet

"Do you want to acquire Aston Martin?"
Urich Bates was taken aback and looked at Yang Huan dumbfounded.
Even no matter how harsh Yang Huan's conditions are now, he will not be so shocked.
A Chinese person wants to acquire Aston Martin?
"What's the problem?" Yang Huan was very calm, looking at Urich Bates calmly.
The German Mediterranean shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Don't make jokes with me, Mr. Yang Huan, I'm here to discuss with you a solution to this lawsuit very seriously. You should be able to feel my sincerity."
Yang Huan can really feel it, because Urich Bates waited for three days in Southampton.
"Then I also tell you, the best and most effective way to solve Aston Martin is to sell it to me and become my thing, then naturally there will be no problem of left hand beating right hand."
Speaking of this, Yang Huan also showed a confident smile, "And I believe you know very well, David Richards can't give you anything at all. He wants to bring Aston Martin into the F1 circuit. The plan has completely failed, and Aston Martin is now heavily in debt."
"However, once Aston Martin has it for me, I will provide you with generous funds to invest in research and development. Otherwise, I believe you should know better than me. Within two years, Aston Martin will be completely squeezed out of the top. The ranks of car brands have lost the last noble aura."
Yang Huan's strong self-confidence, as well as his words, shocked Urich Bates.
He could tell that Yang Huan had known Aston Martin.
Urich Bates is not a pedantic British diehard. He once said a controversial sentence in a public occasion, and even now he dare not say it again.
"Aston Martin must be produced abroad!"
This has been criticized by countless Aston Martin fans, because in their opinion, only production in the UK can guarantee the original taste of Aston Martin and the strong British aristocracy. .
But they have forgotten another thing, a company needs cost control.
David Richards runs an enterprise focusing on racing technology and vehicle modification projects. The largest customers come from the racing teams on the racing track. The business is very scattered and there is simply not enough funds to acquire Aston Martin.
A very important reason for being able to take over Aston Martin from Ford in 2007 was that he attracted the support of two large investment companies in Kuwait through financing, and ultimately cost 475 million pounds. Successfully won Aston Martin from Ford.
Yang Huan feels that there have been similar cases in the football field.
That is Manchester United.
Through capital and leverage, the Glazer family ate Manchester United with small swallows, turning the originally most profitable club in football into the most debt-ridden club overnight.
Similarly, since Urich Bates took over Aston Martin, he has been pioneering and enterprising. From 2001 to 2007, it took six years to double the annual sales of Aston Martin. Ten times, it was increased to 7,400, which was the best sales record in Aston Martin's history.
But with the emergence of the subprime mortgage crisis and the European debt crisis, David Richards’s financing method has become problematic. He has not been able to continue to increase investment and further consolidate Aston Martin’s achievements in the previous six years. , But constantly sucking blood from Aston Martin.
Coupled with the impact of the economic crisis, Aston Martin's sales have gradually declined since its peak in 2007. It is estimated that sales for the entire 2010 are expected to be about 4,000 vehicles, and the annual revenue is about 470 million pounds. Over thirty million pounds.
In other words, not only do they have no money to invest in new car research and development, it may even be a problem for the company to maintain normal operations.
This is why Yang Huan has booked four ONE-77s before, but has not delivered them yet.
Urich Bates looked at Yang Huan complicatedly. He didn't expect that he was only trying to solve a lawsuit, but now the situation is completely beyond his expectation.
He has no doubt that David Richards, the current Chairman of Aston Martin’s board of directors, wants to sell Aston Martin. After the failure of his plan to enter the F1 circuit, he has always wanted to do so, but he didn’t wait. The right buyer.
As the chief executive officer of Aston Martin, he has watched the sales of his rival Ferrari rise steadily, and watched Volkswagen's Bentley turn a profit, while Aston Martin has gradually fallen into decline.
But, can Yang Huan really become Aston Martin's savior?
…………
…………
Yang Huan saw Urich Bates groaning and thinking about the problem over there with a distressed look, and he didn't bother.
For Aston Martin, this is indeed a big deal.
But to Yang Huan, it was not a big deal.
At best, it is part of his business plan.
However, the game seems to have fallen into a stalemate with Urich Bates' distress.
Throughout the first half, Southampton fell into a situation where it was not scoring. Poyet did a good job in targeted tactics. Isco is still young and it is difficult to help Southampton open the situation.
"It seems that the midfielder still needs further transformation."
For a team, the midfield is like a person's waist.
The waist is tough, the talent is strong, and so is the team.
Southampton adjusted in the second half, James Rodriguez and Neymar both began to withdraw more to participate in the midfielder's ball and wing advancement. The two wingers David Alaba and Kava Hal also actively participated in the attack forward.
This immediately made Southampton's entire offensive become active again.
Ibrahimovic is at the forefront alone, like a bridgehead in Southampton. The entire offense of the team revolves around him, bringing the Swedish center's personal ability and dominance of the penalty area to the extreme.
Brighton's defeat did not last too long.
Less than ten minutes into the second half, Brighton scored a goal again by Southampton.
This time, Ibrahimović volleyed vigorously after a juggling spike in front of Brighton defender Payint, further expanding the score for Southampton.
Two goals behind, Brighton completely lost the determination to resist the final, defeated.
After Southampton took advantage of the victory, Ibrahimovic scored twice, and the British local player Lambert, who replaced the Swedish center in the last place, took another step and finally locked the score to 4:0!
Southampton was so easy, simply and neatly, to beat the number one competitor of the season at St. Mary's Stadium.
This battle also made Brighton feel depressed and humiliated, but the coach Poyet said after the game that Brighton was convinced and admitted that Southampton was the number one favorite for the league championship this season.
After World War I, the entire Southampton was plunged into a joyous ocean, and almost everyone seemed to have seen the moment when Southampton was promoted to the British crown.
Yang Huan's mood is also extremely happy because the team's victory over the opponent.
What makes him even more excited is that after defeating Brighton, Southampton's excellent state did not decline at all. They also defeated their opponents in the English League Championship and the FA Cup, and successfully advanced to the next round.
This amazing offensive storm in Southampton, under the propaganda and care of many influential media such as Southampton, Southern Echo, Independent Television, etc., quickly attracted considerable attention in the entire British football community.
Even in Europe, and even all over the world, countless fans are cheering for this low-level league team, but sitting on a team with top stars, hoping that he will have the opportunity to compete with top teams under.
And when Yang Huan led the team to invincible in the British football field.
At the headquarters of the Yang Group in Longhai City, Yang Wenfeng encountered a terrible headache.
This time, he mobilized all aspects of the company's resources and channels to collect all relevant intelligence in the shortest time.
And an urgent high-level meeting was held at the headquarters of the Yang Group.
…………
…………
Zhang Ning came to the headquarters of the Yang Group.
When she walked through the gate, she couldn't help but think of her first time here.
That was the second day after she was adopted by Yang Huan.
Before coming to the headquarters of the Yang Group, Yang Huan also took to Longhai's most expensive luxury shopping mall to buy a lot of things.
The money she spent that day was more than the money she spent in the past twenty years.
Therefore, she was very impressed.
"Miss Zhang, Dong Yang is already waiting for you in the conference room."
The lady at the front desk greeted Zhang Ning immediately.
"Okay, thank you!" Zhang Ning nodded politely, and went straight to the elevator.
I was wondering in my heart, and suddenly called myself to a meeting. What was going on?
Since it is coming to the company, it must be official business.
This also made Zhang Ning relax a little, she is always a little afraid to face Yang Huan's family now.
With a ding sound, the elevator arrived.
As soon as Zhang Ning got out of the elevator door, Yang Wenfeng's secretary had received the news and stood outside the door waiting for her, and took her directly to the meeting room.
Pushing the door open, Zhang Ning was surprised by the people he saw in front of him.
She found that not only all the senior management of the Yang Group were present, but also Mr. Yang Baoping was sitting in the middle of the top.
When she walked in, everyone was watching her.
However, from the eyes of these people, she didn't feel even the slightest distractions, and some were just serious.
"Zhang Ning, you are here!" Yang Wenfeng turned around and greeted her.
"Yang...Grandpa, Mr. Yang." Zhang Ning greeted Yang Baoping and his son.
In contrast to Yang Baoping's smiling nod, Yang Wenfeng directly signaled her to sit down in an empty seat not far from him.
If the seats are divided according to status and importance, then Zhang Ning is undoubtedly very important.
This is definitely not just because she took over WeChat China, but also because Yang Huan is behind her.
The only heir of the Yang Group in the future.
After everyone was seated, Yang Wenfeng, the convener of the meeting, stood up.
"Today everyone is urgently invited to the meeting, mainly to discuss one thing."
Following Yang Wenfeng's words, the secretary immediately distributed a thick document to every high-level person present at the meeting~EbookFREE.me~ Zhang Ning also got a copy in her hand. After opening it, she was shocked.
This document comes from Yang Huan. He proposed to his father to carry out a huge bargain hunting plan in the UK that had reached a billion pounds in the early stage. This plan will include automobiles, yachts, jewelry, wine and many other fields.
After Zhang Ning saw this document, his first feeling was that his heartbeat was accelerating.
She wondered if Yang Huan was crazy?
Now that the global economy is so depressed, how can you propose to carry out such a large business plan in the UK?
But when she looked down patiently, she had to admit that the plan was indeed tempting.
Especially the blueprint for the future outlined by Yang Huan.
But in any case, this is a gamble.
A huge risky gamble. ()
