Special troubles of rebirth

“You can’t bypass state-owned assets for this kind of major imported project, so you can’t bypass the Development and Reform Commission’s approval.”

Guan Yuhai's next words reminded Wang Yu: "My brother called me specifically and said that someone is blocking you from getting the approval."

"Or stalling for time?"

Wang Yu understood the discrepancies and saw through Fritz Henderson's plan.

What he lacks is also time. Once this acquisition drags on for two or three years and GM gets through the difficulties under his leadership, it will no longer be difficult to pass the board of directors and keep Opel.

Domestic car companies do not want to have another share of the pie, so they will also spontaneously delay Guoke New Energy's acquisition of Opel until the end of the time for cars to be brought to the countryside.

Both sides agree on stalling for time.

"I'm just conveying what my brother said, as long as you understand the differences!"

After Guan Yuhai finished talking about the important things, the conversation suddenly changed: "What was the first thing you said just now that you wanted to acquire a Premier League team?"

The conversation changed so quickly that Wang Yu didn't react for a moment.

"Manchester United or Liverpool?"

Guan Yuhai was excited, and regardless of whether Wang Yu responded to him or not, he kept saying, "I think Liverpool is more passionate."

"West Ham United!"

Wang Yu had to interrupt the excited Guan Yuhai: "Those big clubs are too complicated. Even if they can buy part of the equity, they still cannot reach the stage of control. It's boring."

"Yeah"

Guan Yuhai smacked his lips and said, "Would you like to play with me?"

"That's okay. We happen to be short of a joint venture partner. I'll count you as 10% of the equity!"

Wang Yu smiled and said: "Brother Guan, please prepare 400 to 500 million pounds in advance. I have entrusted Yonghua Bank to handle this matter. Later, President Bai will send someone to contact you to inject the money into a company established in Hong Kong. in an international investment company”

"Okay, I'll get ready!"

Guan Yuhai knew that Wang Yu would not cheat him, so he immediately agreed: "Come to my place after you return to the country and come to the capital. Let's have a good chat about the club!"

Wang Yu sighed and hung up the phone while promising to find him when he went back.

An old fan who focuses on domestic football now actually wants to get involved in the affairs of the Premier League team. Wang Yu doesn't believe it when he thinks about it.

When I get back, I still have to persuade Guan Yuhai to just watch football and make money, and stop getting involved in the team's affairs.

Seeing Wang Yu's end of the call, Bai Jieru spoke.

"I seemed to have heard the words "home appliances going to the countryside" just now?

Bai Jieru works in the financial system and is very concerned about many policies issued by the country: "It seems that there is also a plan to bring cars to the countryside. Master, isn't it true that you are buying Opel?"

"I didn't even think about going up here."

Wang Yu smiled bitterly and recounted the content of Guo Yuan's call just now, and then explained the reminder call from Guan Yuhai.

"It's okay now. Everyone thinks I want to share the cake. GM's Fritz Henderson also used this matter to prevent me from acquiring Opel. I can't explain it clearly!"

Speaking of this, he was as depressed as he wanted, because he had no such intention at all and couldn't even explain it.

"I heard that the companies included in the subsidy list are all domestic companies that were not doing well in the first place. Now a company suddenly appears that may steal jobs. It's strange that they exclude you unanimously."

Bai Jieru frowned and said: "This situation is not easy to break. It not only involves the interests of the car companies, but also involves some interests of the places where the companies belong. Master, you will encounter great resistance this time."

"I know, otherwise Guan Yuming wouldn't have specifically asked Guan Yuhai to call me this way."

Wang Yu smacked his lips and said, "How come it happened to be at such a time point?"

"Sir, do you plan to return to China in the next few days to deal with this matter?"

Bai Jieru seemed to have thought of something: "After all, the acquisition of Opel is more important than the acquisition of West Ham United. I want to see it."

"What's the use of going back now?"

Wang Yu shook his head: "Even the leaders of Magic City are in a dilemma. It is obvious that all aspects of the relationship have formed a big network. Now the palms and backs of my hands are full of flesh. Whether I can go back to work is one thing. Let the leaders It’s difficult but it’s certain.”

"With your current size, you contribute so much tax revenue and employment opportunities to the Magic City every year."

Bai Jieru looked at Song Qiuyun as she spoke: "Do you know how much tax Engine Technology paid in 09?"

"09 is not over yet, so I don't know the specific figures."

As the director of the board of directors, Song Qiuyun is equivalent to the group’s big housekeeper, and all important internal documents must go through her eyes: “However, the group has paid 55.3 billion in taxes to the Shanghai Taxation Department in the first three quarters, not counting the increase in the fourth quarter and Due to other factors, taxes paid throughout the year will also exceed 70 billion."

"Can SAIC pay more taxes than you this year?"

"You can't simply compare it like this."

Wang Yu glanced at Bai Jieru: "They are state-owned assets, and most of the profits belong to local and national finances."

"But sir, don't you also plan to introduce state-owned assets into the company that acquires Opel?"

When Bai Jieru said this, Wang Yu suddenly fell into thinking.

The main entity currently planning to acquire Opel is a newly registered investment company. Wang Yu had a relatively complete plan before. This new company used to acquire Opel will become a holding branch of Guoke New Energy in the future. New energy vehicles will not be related to this company.

Wang Yu plans to set up another branch of Guoke New Energy Automobile under Guoke New Energy, which will be wholly owned by Guoke New Energy.

In the future, Guoke New Energy will include companies such as Guoke New Energy Batteries, Guoke New Energy Vehicles, and Guoke Automobile. If possible, the mineral sector can even be incorporated into Guoke New Energy.

In this way, even if there are state-owned assets in Guoke cars, which are mainly traditional gasoline-powered cars, they will not affect the new energy vehicles.

"Maybe we can still talk!"

Wang Yu thought for a while and suddenly said: "If I am willing to introduce a larger proportion of state-owned assets into Guokhu Motors, maybe some difficulties will be solved."

"Sir, are you so optimistic about new energy vehicles?"

Bai Jieru naturally understood the meaning of Wang Yu's words. It was obvious that he wanted to give up a large part of the benefits of traditional oil trucks.

This also means that Wang Yu is more optimistic about the future of new energy vehicles, otherwise there would be no reason to make such an obvious concession.

"This is the trend of the future."

Wang Yu only picked up the tea cup and took a sip for the first time: "It is not only a demand for environmental protection, but also a demand for energy security strategy. The amount of oil and natural gas imported by our country every year in recent years is too large, and as we As the scale of the economy further expands, this demand will become bigger and bigger, so big that we can’t bear the slightest disturbance, so the new energy strategy is imperative!”

"Is it also a strategic need to avoid the petro-meter dollar?"

Bai Jieru, who is engaged in finance, put forward another point of view: "After all, the rice dollar has been anchored to oil for decades."
