Chapter 887: Tricked Again

After painting a big pie for Smith in Silicon Valley and mobilizing the enthusiasm of all the company's employees, Yang Dongxu left Silicon Valley and went to Detroit.

The world's automobile industry has been booming in recent years, especially the rapid development of China's economy has allowed many automobile companies to find a huge and promising market, and the entire automobile industry seems to be recovering.

And Detroit seems to have signs of recovery in recent years, just like an old man's last rays of light. But in the eyes of many discerning people, such a recovery is obviously only a flash in the pan.

The decline of Detroit has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and the city is destined to enter the dust of history. It is impossible to restore to its former glory in a short time.

So even if the people of Detroit feel that life seems to be better than before in the past two years, the city's economy is still declining in terms of the overall economy, but the speed of decline is only a matter of speed.

When Yang Dongxu came to Detroit, he first went to his own automobile factory for an inspection. The feeling of low-end or inferior products given by domestic cars is becoming more and more popular.

At this time, if you want to maintain the market share of the upper-middle market, or give customers in the upper-middle market enough vanity and brand value, imports have become the only solution.

In the second half of this year, all BMW models will be available for import from abroad. The same model of car will be priced at least 30% higher just because it is processed and produced abroad and has the word "imported", but customers are still buying cars in an endless stream.

Imported, joint venture, domestic rankings are becoming more and more mainstream in the market, and for customers in the upper-middle market, practicality is secondary, and face is the most important.

For example, the emergence of the Mercedes-Benz was born for business, so driving a Mercedes-Benz is not just because the car is of good quality, but because of its intangible value.

In order to improve their own status, or to let people know that they are big bosses as soon as they see them, since they have chosen the Mercedes-Benz, it is natural to spend more money and choose to import.

"Your BMW car has gone abroad?" These days, Bai Xi feels that she has been more surprised than in her lifetime after flying around with Yang Dongxu.

But every time she thinks that this may be Yang Dongxu's limit, there is always a bigger surprise waiting for her. It is an indisputable fact that China is in an absolute disadvantage in the automobile industry, even worse than Russia, which is in economic decline.

Therefore, if the domestic automobile industry wants to develop, it has to give up the domestic market and find some international big brands to form joint ventures. Just when everyone was still worrying about how to develop the automobile industry, BMW Automobile Company actually went abroad and entered the United States. If you didn't see it with your own eyes, you would definitely feel that someone was joking with her.

"Not yet, but it will be soon. BMW is preparing to raise funds next year, not domestically, but internationally for venture capital financing, after all, it is preparing to go public in the United States. At that time, some cars will be sold in the US market." Yang Dongxu said.

In the previous life, Yang Dongxu didn't understand one thing very much, that is, why the higher the salary, the more he likes to find foreign venture capital for financing.

This practice was scolded as a traitor by many people. Of course, there are also more rational netizens who feel that it is understandable. After all, compared with domestic investors who see profits and then invest, international venture capital is relatively long-term.

But in fact, the most fundamental reason is that if you find investors in China, it is only convenient for the domestic market. If you want to enter the international market, but you don't have a strong backbone, then finding international venture capital becomes a shortcut.

At present, BMW's automotive technology reserves can only be said to be comparable to other automotive giants in the world, such as Volkswagen in Germany, Toyota in Japan, Ford in the United States, etc., and it is not inferior to them, but it cannot surpass them.

Under such a close match, automobiles are a relatively weak industry in China. If they want to go international, these large foreign venture capital companies will naturally become their first choice.

"What are these?" Betsy pointed to the production line that is currently running at full power.

With the scale of this automobile factory and the production line that never stops, the number of cars produced every day is definitely not small.

"Most of them are sold domestically, and a small number are sold in Europe and the United States. However, the sales situation is not very good. The sales of commercial vehicles can only be said to be barely, but the sports car is okay. However, the production line of sports cars is in Italy, not here." Yang Dongxu said.

"It seems that I am going to get rich." Betsy calmed down a little, and a smile that had not been seen for a long time appeared on her face, but compared with the beautiful smile that made people bright before, the smile at this time on her thin cheeks seemed a little reluctant.

"So take good care of yourself. When BMW goes public, you will be a billionaire in a flash. And a billionaire in US dollars. Don't let your body collapse when you have so much money. You won't be able to spend it." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.

"If I write your name as the beneficiary of the estate, will you stop saying that?" Bai Qian said.

Yang Dongxu was confused?

Are women's brain circuits so abnormal this year?

Zhou Ya's pregnancy is fine, because pregnancy makes people stupid for three years, but Zhuo Qing'er is speaking very sharply now, and Bai Qian seems to be on the verge of neurosis. What the hell is going on?

I am a major shareholder of BMW. Even if I raise funds and sell some shares after listing, I will still be the absolute major shareholder. Will I be interested in your money?

"I want to cash out after the financing. Help me get a good price." Bai Qian continued to say, regardless of Yang Dongxu's speechless face.

Yang Dongxu, who was originally confused, was stunned again when he heard this, and then he frowned as he thought of something: "With the current situation of Baijia, you can only hear a sound at most if you throw in that little money."

"As expected of a big boss, you have more than 10 billion RMB. Since you said it's just a sound." Bai Qian teased with a smile on her face, but before Yang Dongxu could speak, Bai Qian's face darkened as she thought of something: "Grandpa hopes that Baijia will be good and not decline in just three generations. Anyway, I want to give it a try."

"How to try? Needless to say, the private property of Baijia will definitely be divided up after you come back this time. As for the rest, no one can touch your position at China Mobile.

After all, you have done well in the past few years, and China Mobile's market value has been rising year by year. Although many people are jealous of your current position, the top management may not necessarily take the risk of making a temporary replacement.

The optical cable side It may be a little troublesome, but not too much. After all, the state-owned enterprises are decided by the state. You may have had some influence when the old man was alive, but now your words are not so important.

That is to say, the remaining resources you have now belong to the state. The state values ​​you, but if you use the resources in your hands to seek benefits for the Bai family, you probably won't be in this position for long. In the end, you may be kicked out or even go to jail.

You can't use what you have, and what you can use has nothing to do with you now. Or. If your family knew that BMW Motor Company had gone through several rounds of financing and then went public, the shares in your hands would be worth hundreds of millions or US dollars. What would their reaction be?

Would they think that your investment was not a personal investment, but was exchanged for the money and resources of the Bai family, so they also have a share of this money? "Yang Dongxu had a sneer on his face.

Originally, he took Bai Xi out to relax for fear of touching her scars, and he avoided some topics everywhere to avoid irritating her again. But now it seems that he can't help but irritate her. Now this Queen Bai is very confused.

"Don't you still have me?" Yang Dongxu's provocative words did not change Bai Xi's expression much, but she said it lightly.

Hearing this, Yang Dongxu was stunned and wanted to say, "It's none of my business."

But seeing Bai Xi's thin face and thinking of the unclear relationship between the two of them before. He couldn't say this sentence.

In the end, he could only glare at Bai Xi fiercely: "The shares in your hands belong to me, and you have no right to dispose of them. Now you are a pauper."

After saying this, he saw that Bai Xi was not angry at all, but looked at him with a smile. He felt that what he said just now seemed a little bit not serious enough, or not serious enough: "I'm serious, I won't say anything, I want to see who can change your shares for a dime."

Bai Xi's smile became stronger, and she stretched out her hand to hug Yang Dongxu's arm, and her mood seemed to be much better in an instant. Seeing that Bai Xi was so happy even though he was so serious, Yang Dongxu wanted to put on a face again, but the expression on his face was brewing for a long time and he didn't put it on.

"MD, I owe you in my last life." Yang Dongxu couldn't help but curse.

The smile on Bai Xi's face was completely blooming, and it was beautiful for a moment.

The two walked forward together for a distance. Yang Dongxu looked at Bai Xi's side face, whose smile was no longer forced, and said: "Seriously, human greed is like a bottomless pit. I understand that your grandfather wants the Bai family not to decline in three generations, and I agree that you should fulfill your grandfather's last wish, but should this way of doing things be changed?"

"How to change?" Bai Xi asked.

"People are mean-tempered. They don't know how to be grateful when you take the initiative to give them. Instead, they will feel that this is what they deserve. If you don't give them, or even when they kneel on the ground and beg you, give them a little alms, they will be grateful.

So don't be so stupid to take the money back, but be ruthless and arrogant. Grasp the resources you have now, and then develop them to a height that they can't reach, so that even if you scold them casually, they will stick to you like sticky candy and kneel down to lick you."

"What are you talking about?" Bai Xi seemed to understand the meaning of the last two words and slapped Yang Dongxu.

"In short, the words are rough but the truth is true. If you..." Yang Dongxu explained.

However, looking at Bai Xi's smiling face, he stopped talking halfway, and he felt like he was fooled again.

He was too lazy to care about the affairs of the Bai family at first, and never thought of intervening. Otherwise, he would not have called Bai Xi abroad to relax, but would have directly stood on Bai Xi's side and consolidated the assets that were originally in her hands.

It can be said that he ignored the mess of the Bai family, but now he is warning Bai Xi and giving advice.

Alas. People are indeed mean, especially men.
