Special troubles of rebirth

Although the team was formed in advance, everyone from Wang Yu to Guo Yuan regarded this acquisition as simple.

This also exposes the bottleneck Wang Yu is currently facing from another aspect. In the early stage, he used too many "own people", relied on the information gap of rebirth, and relied on massive funds harvested from overseas financial markets. A business kingdom emerged.

This business kingdom can still make all the difference in the current domestic market, but once it is released to travel in the international market, its immature side will immediately appear.

To put it bluntly, Engine Technology’s existing corporate organizational structure and equity model are simply childish and ridiculous in the eyes of professionals in the Omi market.

This Opel acquisition will encounter more problems in the future, which will expose many flaws in Wang Yu's system.

It's a bad thing, but it's also a good thing!

In the next few years, Wang Yu may no longer do detailed management. He will focus mainly on checking for leaks and filling them, especially when it comes to system shortcomings. Only by laying a solid foundation can engine technology be successful. Qualifications for overseas gaming!

Of course, this is something to talk about later. At present, Wang Yu only vaguely feels the need in this regard, and is not so anxious that he needs to change immediately.

"What are the two conditions on Opel's side?"

The call continued. After talking about the three conditions from GM headquarters, Wang Yu asked about the contents of the two conditions proposed by Opel.

"The first is the security aspect."

Guo Yuan responded: "Ouba believes that even if this acquisition is completed, there should not be large-scale layoffs and salary cuts in Germany. This must be included in the negotiations and signed into the agreement."

Wang Yu was not surprised to hear this, but also had a headache.

You must know that Omi's worker welfare system is quite high, and it doesn't matter if it is high. The key is that the efficiency of their work is completely different from that of China.

Which of the Fuyao Glass, TSMC and other companies that went to build factories in the United States in the memory of the past life did not have problems due to this reason?

In the early years, O&M companies still had technology monopolies, which could generate excess profits to support this system. However, with the rise of China's manufacturing industry, many technology monopolies no longer exist. The prices of some industrial products have been hit to the floor, and excess profits no longer exist. If they exist, their system will naturally not be able to sustain it.

This is also one of the reasons why the OME industry has moved to Asia, especially the United States, to the point where the industry has been hollowed out.

Take shipbuilding as an example. In the 0s, the American shipbuilding industry still had orders for more than ships every year. However, after entering the s, in addition to military orders, civilian orders dropped directly to zero.

So in the years before Wang Yu was reborn, two-thirds of the world's civilian ship orders were occupied by Chinese manufacturing.

The key is that the profits of the domestic shipbuilding industry are incredibly low, and the only remaining shipyards in the United States are producing military ships with sky-high bills.

Considering the wage standards for shipbuilding workers in the United States, which Chinese shipbuilding company would dare to invest and build a factory in the United States?

The upper management of Opel also understands this truth. They are not worried about the R&D center. The key is the production center. They are afraid that the acquirer from China will not be willing to bear the biggest burden of the headquarters and directly move the production center to China. The cost there can be Much cheaper than in Germany.

"What about the second point?"

He did not discuss this in detail with Guo Yuan on the phone. After all, the formal negotiations had not yet begun, and Wang Yu had no intention of impressing the Opel headquarters.

"The second point involves the management side."

Guo Yuan's voice became quieter and quieter: "Ouba raised cultural differences and believed that even if the acquisition was completed, it would not be appropriate to place too many Eastern management executives at the German headquarters."

The reason why the voice became quieter and quieter was because Guo Yuan also felt that this was too much.

The company has been acquired by you, but I am not allowed to manage you too much. How in the world is this reasonable?

Let me say something irresponsible: Labor and management are rich and willful, and they are willing to bankrupt the company. Does it have anything to do with you?

Many people may have this concern in the current era, but for Wang Yu, who was reborn in 2023, this is not really a big problem, because as China becomes the world's second largest economy, more and more With the occurrence of cross-border acquisitions, this cultural difference concern is no longer so serious.

"This matter is not a big problem, so don't worry too much."

Wang Yu in turn comforted Guo Yuan: "I will join in the formal negotiations and communicate with Opel on this issue."

With Wang Yu's words, Guo Yuan felt much more at ease, and her voice gradually increased and she continued to report other miscellaneous things.

Wang Yu, who was distracted, was talking on his mobile phone and pacing, gradually moving away from his original position.

Song Qiuyun looked at Wang Yu, who was walking back and forth in the distance, and felt that his call would not end for a while, so he said to Bai Jieru: "Mr. Bai, is your new assistant Mi Lai good?"

Bai Jieru's eyes were originally on Wang Yu, but she looked away after hearing Song Qiuyun's question.

"A very spiritual little girl."

"You know that's not what I'm talking about."

"You mean he looks no worse than your Director Qin?"

Bai Jieru smiled meaningfully and said to Song Qiuyun: "The skin is much prettier. I have seen a few who are prettier than Qin Shiyu and Mi Lai. Everyone has their own fate, isn't it? Everyone can become Qin Shiyu."

Speaking of Qin Shiyu, Bai Jieru couldn't help but sigh, with a look of envy on her face: "Your Director Qin has a sharp eye. He followed the right person early. Now that he has landed, I haven't even landed yet."

Song Qiuyun nodded: "I saw Mr. Bai in the distance just now. It's only a matter of time before you go ashore."

"I'll lend you some good words!"

Bai Jieru didn't know what Song Qiuyun was thinking, so she glanced at her and said, "Don't worry, Mi Lai can't find the palm of my hand."

Song Qiuyun responded to Bai Jieru without humility: "Whether it is the eldest lady or the second lady, or Mr. Bai and Mr. Dong from HK, Mr. Zhang from the southwest, and Mr. Wu from the capital. The existing structure is stable. Just like you said. That way, beauty is beauty, fate is fate!"

Bai Jieru did not continue to respond to Song Qiuyun. Firstly, she knew that this woman was following Wang Yu without any desire. Secondly, she had seen Wang Yu put away his mobile phone.

After ending the call with Guo Yuan, Wang Yu frowned and returned to Bai Jieru.

"What, things are not going well?"

"The first contact is nothing more than a posturing between the two parties. It doesn't matter whether it goes smoothly or not."

Wang Yu rubbed his temples and said: "It's just that Guo Yuan suddenly discovered that the whole thing was complicated, and many of the previous plans had to be overthrown and started over. I also have to do a lot of work when I go back. The focus now is not on the difficulty." It’s not difficult, it’s complicated!”

"Normally, such large-scale cross-border commercial acquisitions are not uncomplicated. There are cases that have been discussed for several years or more than ten years. Where are you doing here?"

Bai Jieru looked like someone who had been through this before: "Just think of it as a drill. Your company will have to go through more similar business acquisitions in the future. It will be good to have this experience."

"Don't even think about being lazy."
