Chapter 705 Bargaining

…

Rover Motors, which at its peak had six production lines, 300,000 cars a year and 25,000 auto workers, is now on the brink of bankruptcy. Even the production line that Guo Shouyun looked at before was still working, but it was barely maintaining operation, not at full capacity at all.

"Then ask Mr. Howard to take us to the front reception room!"

"Okay, Mr. Guo, Mr. Brito, please this way!" Kevin Howard said quickly.

Rover's reception room is well decorated, typical of British classical style, with sculptures, oil paintings and brown sofas, as well as heavy Persian carpets, making it not at all like the reception room of a run-down company, but more like a big boss. The rich man's study.

After a brief survey, Guo Shouyun and Brito sat down on the sofa.

Kevin Howard picked up a brocade box that had been on the table before and opened it in front of Guo Shouyun.

"We know that Mr. Guo likes to collect works of art, and this Chinese Qianlong enamel is a special gift from us!"

Among the porcelains of the past dynasties, enamel-colored porcelain is the most expensive, and its artistic level is also highly condensed. It is known as the "official kiln in the official kiln" and the "crown of overglaze colors". In the three dynasties of Kang, Yong and Qian in the Qing Dynasty, there were very few enamel-colored porcelain. Even if it is Qianlong who is very happy, there are only more than 400 pieces of enamel-colored porcelain recorded.

At this moment, the small bowl in the box is about the size of an adult's palm, the body is small and exquisite, the enamel poppies are painted, the flowers are in full bloom, the stone is half-covered, the butterflies are lingering, and the patterns are exquisite; and inscribed with a poem by Xu Gui, a scholar in the Ming Dynasty: "The wind is like singing. , Su Yu's classic dance sleeves hang down", chanting Yu Meiren's graceful appearance dancing with the wind. The whole is very beautiful, and Guo Shouyun really likes it.

If it is in Huaxia, there is a high probability that no one will be willing to give such a good thing as a gift. Not only because of its scarcity and high artistic value, but also because of its high price. At the current market price, the auction price of such a small bowl is no less than 30 million Chinese coins.

But in the eyes of the British it is not so precious. Something in the early 2 million pounds is only a fraction of the current Rover Motors loss of more than 20 million pounds per month. If they can coax Guo Shouyun to be happy and take over the mess of Rover Motors from the Phoenix Group, even if it is 20 million, they will definitely do it.

"...In addition, if Mr. Guo can cooperate with us. We also prepared a gift as a gift for our successful cooperation with Mr. Guo!"

With that said, Kevin Howard handed me a photo!

After taking a look, Guo Shouyun's face changed slightly, "Dragon Head of Yuanmingyuan?"

"Mr. Guo really has good eyesight, this is the dragon head in the Chinese zodiac!" Kevin Howard said with a smile, "As long as Mr. Guo is willing to cooperate with us, it will be yours!"

"Mr. Howard, I'm afraid you made a mistake. I'm an American!" Guo Shouyun said with flashing eyes.

"But you are also Chinese! Dedicate this dragon head to the Chinese government. I believe you can easily exchange it for a cooperation project that is more valuable than this dragon head."

"It seems that Mr. Howard really understands China."

"From Brilliance in 2002, to the current Nanjing Automobile, SAIC, and Mr. Guo's Red Star, so many car companies want to acquire Rover, we will naturally attach importance to the partners from Huaxia."

Guo Shouyun nodded, "What about your conditions?"

"We don't need any acquisition funds from Red Star Auto Group, we just need you to take on all the debts of Rover Motors."

The Phoenix Group took the Rover back from the BMW Group at a nominal price of £10. Although it has been losing money in recent years, the money lost is all counted on Rover Motors, as is the £475 million credit granted by BMW.

Therefore, as long as Guo Shouyun is willing to bear all the debts of Rover Motors, the Phoenix Group can smooth the losses.

Of course, this is only a paper loss. The energy and manpower expended cannot be saved.

After listening, Guo Shouyun smiled lightly, and put the Qianlong enamel bowl on the table back.

"Mr. Howard, Rover Motors has book assets of only $3.2 billion, less than $2.3 billion after depreciation of equipment. It has $5 billion in debt and is losing nearly $40 million a month. Now you only want to use two works of art, and you intend to make me bear all the losses, isn't it too whimsical? And, with Rover now on the brink of bankruptcy, is it worth the premium?"

"Then what kind of conditions does Mr. Guo want?"

"I take on $3.5 billion in debt and own all the assets of Rover Motors!"

"This is impossible!"

Kevin Howard shook his head directly. According to Guo Shouyun, Phoenix Group still has to bear the loss of 1.5 billion US dollars, which is too far from the requirements of the board of directors.

"Impossible? I have already paid a 50% premium on the basis of 2.3 billion US dollars. I am afraid that no one can offer such favorable conditions except me?"

"Mr. Guo, Rover's equipment is brand new and is currently the highest in the automotive industry. It can be used for ten years without worrying about falling behind the times. 70% of equipment depreciation is too exaggerated. There are many models, and there are independent engines, chassis technology, and excellent research and development systems, which are also very valuable."

Guo Shouyun spread his hands, "Well, even if what you said is true. Then the value of Rover cars will not exceed 3 billion US dollars. What about the remaining 2 billion US dollars?"

"Mr. Guo, a lot of Rover's debt is the interest after the bond matures. So, if you take it over, you can restructure the debt, and then invest money to turn Rover into a profit~www.novelbuddy. com~ I believe that with your money, management skills and wisdom, it is not difficult."

"Mr. Howard, I admit that your compliments are indeed pleasing. But I'm not going to add $2 billion to my debt just because of them."

"We can guarantee Mr. Guo an interest-free long-term commercial loan of not less than $500 million."

"If I take over Rover, do I still need a business loan?"

Hearing this, Kevin Howard suddenly remembered that he holds the sixth largest commercial bank in the United States and one of the largest financial groups in Hong Kong, Hanhua. It's really easy to get financing.

After waving to interrupt what Kevin Howard was about to say, "I can buy Rover and take all the debt, but I have one condition."

"What conditions?" Kevin Howard's eyes lit up and he said quickly.

"I want 22.4% of the ordinary shares of Scottish Power Group held by Phoenix International Group!" Guo Shouyun said slowly but firmly.
