We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?
Chapter 560 Helpless Choice
"Fourth sister, what mistake did the eldest sister make?"
“I don’t know, but judging from the situation, this mistake is quite serious.
I calculated with my fingers and estimated that my elder sister would not be able to escape today and would be covered in wounds."
The Peninsula Hotel in Stockholm, one of only two Peninsula Hotels in Europe.
One is located in the romantic French capital Paris, and the other is located in the literary and artistic Stockholm, radiating across Northern Europe.
After having dinner with the Wallenberg family, Luo Nianzhong and Chris declined the invitation to stay overnight and returned here.
Not only the two of them, but old man Copeland also came over and said that he wanted to stay with his granddaughter for a while.
Luo Nianzhong said, "Old man, this is my wife, you can meet her if you want, let's enforce the family rules first."
Looking at Chris, who was lying on the bed with more breath in than out and looked like he was dying, Matsuzaka Keiko glared at the two generals who were making sarcastic remarks.
"What are you looking at? Why don't you go and help?"
The two women looked at each other, shook their heads and said in unison, "They will die."
"I love you so much all the time, but you let me down at the critical moment."
The two girls were not to be outdone and said, "You are the third sister, so you should be the first to take the lead."
"Uh," Keiko Matsuzaka's eyes wandered, "The children may not be used to sleeping in their own beds. I'll go over there to see them."
Seeing that the other party was about to run, the two women each held down Keiko Matsuzaka's shoulders with one hand.
"Our two little ones are the most noisy. How can we trouble our third sister?"
Watching the two women hurriedly running out as if something big had happened, Matsuzaka Keiko looked at her wailing elder sister, gritted her teeth and took off her pajamas.
The next morning, when Copeland was having breakfast, he saw Luo Nianzhong coming over alone and asked him with concern.
"Where's Chris? Why didn't she come for breakfast?"
"She was too tired from work last night and stayed in bed. I guess you and I are the only ones who will go to Wallenberg's house today."
It was too late yesterday, and the three parties only had a brief communication, and many specific things had not been discussed yet.
Copeland didn't believe Luo Nianzhong's nonsense. He squinted at him and didn't ask any further questions.
He thought that Chris had revealed some of Luo Nianzhong's plans, so the other party didn't want her to be too involved in this matter. Copeland had no idea that Chris really couldn't get out of bed.
In the suite where Luo Nianzhong lived, the three sisters were sitting by the bed looking after their frail eldest sister. The grown-up kids also looked concerned, especially their biological son Luo Ziyan.
"Mommy, do you want to call a doctor to take a look?"
“No need.” Chris touched Luo Ziyan and Luo Xinya who were standing in front of him with relief.
"Mommy is just too tired and didn't get enough rest, so she caught a cold. She'll be fine after a good night's sleep."
"Really? Then I won't go out to play today. I want to stay and take care of mommy."
"No wonder your daddy likes you little girls, your little mouths are really good at talking."
I don’t know if it’s because these little girls from the Luo family have been playing with Luo Anran since they were young, but none of them are the kind of pretty girls from a noble family. All of them are very clever and eccentric.
No one dislikes someone who is good at speaking sweetly.
When the wife of the ship charter king came to the Luo family, the little girls were so coaxed by him that they almost went back to have a baby.
The grandchildren in her family, as she said, are too honest. They can't do anything and are not fun at all.
"Okay, you guys go out and play with the two mommies, I'll stay and take care of your eldest mommy."
It would not be a good idea to have a group of people guarding here, so Luo Laosan asked the two generals Heng and Ha to take them to continue playing and enjoy the holiday.
As for her, she had to stay. Although her condition was not as serious as that of her elder sister, it was really uncomfortable for her to walk.
Looking at Luo Lao Si and Luo Lao Wu standing behind and laughing and whispering, how could Keiko Matsuzaka not know what they were discussing?
"What's wrong? My words don't work, right?"
"Ah, it works." The two men quickly straightened their attitudes.
"Kids, don't disturb your two mothers, let's continue to enjoy our trip."
Watching everyone leave, Luo Laosan also went to bed and lay next to Luo Laoda.
"Sister, what happened to my husband yesterday?"
"Nothing." Chris didn't want to talk about this topic any more.
"Hmph, forget it. I helped you so much yesterday."
“Like you weren’t enjoying it.” Chris wasn’t having that kind of fun.
"Okay, sister, I will fight with you."
Luo Laosan really took action, causing Chris to gasp and beg for mercy.
……
"Audi Group plans to acquire Volvo's car division through a combination of equity and cash."
Less than a week after Luo Nianzhong returned from Sweden, a piece of news quickly dominated the automotive industry and Nissan’s stock price fell.
Audi acquires Volvo, will Nissan's stock price fall?
Yes, you are not mistaken.
What did Volvo give many people the impression of before? Luxury cars.
But this image was created after Ford acquired Volvo. Now Volvo's main battle line is the same as Nissan and Toyota, focusing on affordable prices.
When was Nissan's market value the highest? It was when it was led by Audi Group. Even Japanese people admit that Nissan's ability to become the Japanese auto brand leader is inseparable from Audi Group.
But after Nissan repurchased Audi Group's shares, in just less than two years, Nissan's market value has dropped from a peak of 487 billion US dollars to the current 303 billion US dollars. Is it about to fall below 300 billion US dollars?
Although the biggest reason for this situation is the bursting of the bubble in the island country, many investors do not want to admit it and will naturally find excuses for Nissan.
If the Audi Group were still in charge of Nissan, would Nissan's investment department still suffer such heavy losses?
And within Nissan, the calls for returning to Audi are growing louder and louder.
You see, Audi is still one of Nissan's largest shareholders. Although it has sold part of its original 10% stake, it still has 4.87%.
Another thing is that after losing the low-end car brand Nissan, the Audi Group acquired the Czech Skoda in recent years in competition with Volkswagen.
But how can Skoda compare with Nissan? The brand value and public awareness are too different.
But Volvo is different. This brand has already opened up the market in Europe and North America. Before the island country's cars invaded North America, Volvo was the sales king of low-end cars in North America.
As for the Asian market, with the endorsement of the Audi Group, it is not a problem to layout the Asian market at all. By then, Nissan, the godson, may be abandoned.
So when the news of Audi's acquisition of Volvo came out, the island countries had the biggest reaction.
Nissan's stock price plummeted, falling by more than 7%. Not only did its market value fall below US$300 billion, but the media also followed suit.
Audi headquarters in Hong Kong Island.
"Luo, your move is like cutting off the source of the problem. Now we have to rush to change to Nissan."
Nissan is now heavily in debt, with short-term debts maturing one after another, and has been preparing to sell its equity.
Fuji Bank can indeed lend some funds to Nissan, but this amount of money is not enough to cover Nissan's maturing debts. The consortium is having a hard time, so it is impossible for them to only help you.
And it's not just the debt problem. Since the Audi Group stopped interfering in Nissan's affairs, Nissan's sales have been gradually decreasing.
The most obvious example is Rabbit and North America. Nissan can keep pace with Toyota in North America. The new car concept provided by Luo Nianzhong is one aspect, but the most important thing is that the influence of the Far East system in North America can help Nissan sell cars.
Now, those hidden benefits are gone.
The situation is even worse for Rabbit. Many government vehicle purchases have been halted. No one would believe that Audi had no involvement in this.
Nissan is a joint venture, but Audi is not, right?
Cheap official cars? It seems like my Audi has no stock. New models are expensive, can't we reduce the price of old models?
So FAW said, as long as the rebate is enough, I can sell it to you even if it is a slightly higher price, because this is a purely imported car.
Piech's move was not intended to force Nissan to submit, and Nissan did indeed approach Audi.
But this time, Piech not only wants the position of major shareholder, but also wants to take control of Nissan. This is why the two sides have not been able to reach an agreement.
"Are you trying to cut off the firewood from under the cauldron?" Luo Nianzhong glanced at the other person and said, "I can only say that you are lucky."
In cooperation with the Wallenberg family, many large projects require time to adjust, but some things can be done now.
For example, Ericsson acquired France's Ozn Communications with equity and cash. This communications company, which was established with the help of the Arnault family in the Far East, has now grown into one of the largest communications companies in France.
Ericsson's acquisition of it is equivalent to opening up the Western European market, and it can expand with Ozn as a fulcrum.
Luo Nianzhong couldn't give it away for free. He wanted Tetra Pak, but the Wallenberg family refused.
Later, Luo Nianzhong wanted to take this opportunity to acquire a stake in ABB, but the Wallenberg family still did not agree.
ABB has been undergoing major developments in recent years, including the acquisition of Westinghouse Electric in North America. The Wallenberg family's control over the company is no longer as strong as before, and they do not want to lose their shares and board seats.
Finally, the Volvo car division, which had been on a downward trend in recent years, was taken out, and Luo Nianzhong agreed after a moment of hesitation.
Although Tetra Pak is good, it is not irreplaceable. Didn’t an antitrust law later break Tetra Pak’s monopoly on Rabbit?
Moreover, there is more than one Tetra Pak in the packaging industry around the world. Even if Luo Nianzhong acquires a medium-sized enterprise, he can still let it replace Tetra Pak's original position in Rabbit.
ABB still has a lot of obstacles to overcome, so let's see if there is any chance when the time comes, there is no rush.
"Global oil prices have been rising recently, and car companies are having a hard time. Wait until the Audi Group goes public and start your big acquisition plan."
This is the main purpose of Luo Nianzhong's visit to Audi Group today. The overall listing of Audi Group is approaching, and the listing of another world giant on the Hong Kong stock market has attracted global attention.
Audi is not short of money now, and the funds raised will be used to implement Piech's multi-brand strategic plan.
The potential of the Eastern market has already been demonstrated, and Piech is optimistic about the future of the global automotive industry.
In this case, we should take advantage of the fact that many car companies are not doing well and acquire a large number of second- and third-tier brands.
It is impossible for one company to monopolize the market; consumers have their own preferences.
In that case, I will just bring more brands together under the Audi umbrella. This was the policy of Volkswagen in its previous life.
"I'm ready. The world's most valuable automotive empire is beckoning me."
