Rebirth: Return to 1991 to be the richest man

Chapter 2194

In order to make this acquisition successful, John put in a lot of effort.

If this acquisition fails, all his hard work will be in vain, and he may be pushed to the fringes by Ford in the future.

So in order to facilitate this acquisition, John continued to work hard and said: "Mr. Handy, we are here to exchange opinions in this negotiation. The contract price we provide is not the final price. You can also put forward your ideas."

John's words were of great benefit to Volvo's senior management. This is the attitude that negotiations should have.

"Our idea is simple, 65 billion, and you must be noted in the contract that our Volvo Cars workers cannot be laid off, and existing workers' rights must continue to be maintained."

Handy said lightly that this is also Volvo's bottom line. If it is lower than this number, Volvo will no longer consider it.

Faced with Ford, the giant in the American automobile industry, the Volvo Group has been very sincere.

According to Chen Jianghai's memory, the Volvo Group finally sold its automobile company to Ford for 64 billion, which caused quite a stir at the time.

Now the price quoted by Handy is infinitely close to the final transaction price, and John has actually mentally acquiesced to this price.

Through various estimates, coupled with the consideration of the Volvo Group brand, the price is actually not too high and can be said to be good value for money.

Even through this price, John has deeply understood that this is probably the bottom line of the Volvo Group.

Chris also began to make calculations in his mind. Although his behavior was very arrogant, his talents were real.

For this acquisition plan, Chris has actually made many efforts. This year, Chris has dealt with the Volvo Group the most, otherwise Ford would not have sent him here.

However, in Chris's mind, Volvo employee benefits were not included.

If Ford takes over the Volvo Group at the original price of 55 billion, then it is not unacceptable to include a clause in the contract that maintains Volvo's original labor benefits.

After all, the Volvo Group's workers' union organization is very difficult to deal with, and Ford's headquarters is far away in the United States. Even if a representative is sent here, I am afraid that the rights in his hands will be emptied.

So on this issue, Chris also had some thoughts.

He slowly said, "Mr. Handy, if we follow your requirements, our Ford company will not contract various welfare benefits for Volvo Group workers. After all, the price of 65 billion is not low."

What Chris said makes sense. Ford was not taken advantage of. It is impossible for them to give money and be responsible for the welfare of workers at the same time. They are a business, not a charity.

"So specific matters need to be handled by the Volvo Group yourself. I don't think there is a problem with the price of 65 billion."

Chris said calmly. He was full of confidence and directly concluded that 65 billion was not unacceptable, but the labor issue had nothing to do with Ford.

"How can this work!"

Before Handy could say anything, the senior management of Volvo stood up. Once they were asked to bear the cost, they would obviously not be able to bear it.

What's more, if they are asked to bear this cost, their own interests will be reduced a lot.

This is obviously not the result Volvo executives want to see.

"As for the price issue, I think we are still considering it, but regarding the specific labor-related content, since you want to acquire our Volvo car company, you must solve this aspect."

A senior executive stood up and said.

The workers' union is like a burden and is completely worthless in the eyes of capital.The corners of Chris' lips curved, and he keenly captured the thoughts of Volvo's senior executives.

"In this case, there is no other dispute between us. For a price of 50 billion, we will contract all your business, and we also promise not to let the original workers lose their jobs. This is our bottom line."

Chris is a good negotiator, so it's no wonder Ford chose him.

John also regained some confidence at this time, and he planned to make peace with the situation.

But they all ignored one thing. Now Volvo's president Handy is already [-]% dissatisfied with him. At this time, Chris wants to suppress the Volvo Group like this, which is obviously very angry.

"Mr. Chris, based on some information I received, I heard that your Ford company violated the confidentiality agreement we signed before."

"You passed on the acquisition of Volvo, and you even boasted that you would spend 50 billion to acquire our Volvo, which even belittled us."

"I want to know if this is the case."

Handy stared at Chris with a sneer and asked word for word.

"This is absolutely nothing!"

John quickly denied it, he already had some bad premonitions.

Ford Company's confidentiality work has always been excellent, how could such a thing be leaked?

Chris frowned, wondering what kind of medicine Handy was selling in the gourd.

"Really? Why on the day you arrived in Sweden, someone found me and mentioned this matter to me."

"They were the same passengers on the plane as you. They told me that Chris actually leaked the acquisition of Volvo because of women, and even belittled our Volvo Group on the plane."

Handy's eyes narrowed again, making it difficult to figure out what he was thinking.

At this time, Chris and John were already panicking, and they recalled the situation on the plane that day.

Because the flight attendant on the plane had a special regard for Chen Jianghai, in order to suppress Chen Jianghai's limelight, Chris revealed the purpose of his visit to Sweden this time.

There were so many people in the first class cabin at that time, and everyone heard the news.

Chris was sweating profusely. The temperature in Sweden was obviously not high, but he was sweating profusely.

John clenched his hands into fists with difficulty, and his fingers were extremely pale from the pressure. When he released them again, he found that the paleness could not be washed away by the blood.

They made a big mistake, and the president of the Volvo Group found out.

The atmosphere in the conference room once fell into an embarrassing situation, and the air seemed to freeze.

Chris was sweating, and John pulled his tie nervously. Both of them were very nervous without exception.

Chris was roaring in his heart, "Who on earth, who on earth tipped off Handy, I curse him to go to hell and be put in a pan by Satan himself!"

But no matter how hard the two struggled, this happened inevitably.
