Chapter 518 I really want to beat him up
In fact, Shiyun overthought it. Germans didn't like to hear compliments, and the old man only wanted to hear the truth, especially every truth Xia Chuan said.
The old man just thought for a second and asked nonchalantly:
"In the world GDP ranking in 1991, Japan ranked second with US$3.58 trillion; Germany ranked third with US$1.87 trillion; China ranked eleventh with US$3833 billion.
I would like to ask, how do you explain that Japan is the richest country in Asia, Germany is the richest country in Europe, but China, which also 'observes order', cannot? "
Xia Chuan said seriously:
"I don't deny the value of craftsmanship at a specific historical stage, which China does not have. For example, Santana cannot produce the same quality even if it gives us drawings.
However, the spirit of craftsmanship is only useful in the slow stage of technological development.Now times have changed. Even if you don’t understand that the Internet can subvert the world, you should believe that now is the era of technological explosion. Is the spirit of craftsmanship needed at this time?
In "The Origin of Species", Darwin has a classic discussion about the "Law of the Jungle", and this discussion will become an axiom for entrepreneurs in the Internet era: The species that can survive are not those with the strongest populations, nor those with the most intelligence. the highest populations, but rather those species that respond most positively to change.
Now that changes are coming, have you responded positively?Facts have proved that no, the short-sightedness of the Zhengzhi family has destined that you will still adopt a technological blockade against China, and will continue to block it in the future in order to seek development.
But none of you understand the role of the Internet. In the era of economic globalization, only by cooperating with China can we share the greatest benefits, and only by fully investing in China can we obtain high returns.
Therefore, the spirit of craftsmanship created Riben and Deguo, but it will also limit your development.China will surpass Germany in 15 years, Japan in 18 years, and the United States in 30 years, becoming the most powerful country in the world.
By then, Japan and Germany will be far behind the United States and China, opening a gap that can never be crossed. China's GDP will be five times that of Germany. "
The old man's eyes widened and he was shocked. He had heard the big boss say some unknown things, such as the accurate prediction of the Gulf War. It can be said that Xia Chuan's prediction has a very high reference value.
If it is true as Xia Chuan said, it is really in line with the laws of social development, and each stage has its own rules.
What made the old man embarrassed was that Xia Chuan said, "The short-sightedness of the Zhengzhi family has doomed the technological blockade," undoubtedly implying that even if he said it, it would be useless to talk about it.
So they simply stopped talking about it.
Nothing is exposed.
The corner of the old man's mouth twitched slightly, and he suddenly smiled: "I am willing to abandon all prejudices and cooperate with you, and there will be no obstacles. What do you think of the Aldi chain store?"
Xia Chuan smiled, "There is nothing wrong with Aldi's model. Selling food will always make money, but I only do high-tech, or Internet-related industries."
He didn't remember that Aldi went to China to open a branch in his previous life, so he didn't say anything nonsense like welcoming you to invest in China. This kind of person is infinitely loyal to the country, and everything he says is in vain.
The old man immediately changed the topic back:
"You just said that China does not have the spirit of craftsmanship. Even if it gives you technology, it cannot produce the same quality. I think optical lenses are even more outstanding. Technology alone is useless. You also need master craftsmen. This cannot be cultivated within decades, it requires foundation, so there is no need for you to insist on this."
Xia Chuan smiled faintly: "When did I say that I want technology output? All I want is fairness. Why is there no restriction on my acquisition of other companies, but not yours? A company with 5 people has no growth at all. , do you think I have to acquire it? How does the optical lens directly affect my interests? "
The old man was speechless when asked. Indeed, Xia Chuan did not acquire ASML. Even if he wanted to control the entire chip industry chain, he would have to acquire one before he could give up. Since he couldn't acquire it, there was no loss if he gave up. There was no need to acquire it. reason?
Why are you being forced to give up management rights?Does the acquisition still make any sense?
However, Xia Chuan still refused to discuss the conditions after breaking them down.
The old man didn't have any fireworks at all. He concentrated on thinking about the solution. It must be solved. The big boss's instructions must be implemented. Cooperation must be achieved without allowing technology to be exported.
Xia Chuan had to admire that the Germans were meticulous and unselfish in their work, like a machine, strict and cold.
Germans' daily necessities, such as doors, locks, switches, hangers, glass, lampshades, etc., are strong and practical, and would rather be bulky than superficial.A building, a piece of furniture, or a set of equipment all seem to pay attention to a century-old plan and intrinsic quality, just like the Germans who pay attention to down-to-earth and never talk about things.
The old man finally made up his mind:
"I have a solution. Spin off the core business of Carl Zeiss, 'optical lenses', and exclude other medical equipment and industrial measuring instruments. There will not be many people in this way. The valuation is based on US$[-] million, which meets your growth conditions." Right? Then we discussed it in detail and you promised not to export technology to China. This cannot be changed."
Xia Chuan was so happy that he almost wanted to look up to the sky and scream, and immediately said: "I agree."
"Then the next question is, you have to promise not to harm the company's interests for your own benefit."
"I refuse to promise." Xia Chuan refused without thinking. Are you kidding? I acquired you just to strangle ASML. If I promise, how can I threaten him?
The old man said seriously: "Give an example to show that you have a reason to do this. If it is really necessary, I can give in, but it is only a special case in this case."
Xia Chuan said with a smile: "For example, if I want to acquire Sony, if he doesn't agree, I will refuse to provide lenses."
The old man said blankly: "How could Sony agree to let you acquire it? It's useless even if you break the lens."
"Oh, I'm just making an analogy. If I need to make an acquisition, it may harm the company's interests." Xia Chuan said calmly.
Although the old man was confused, he didn't think about ASML because the company's technology was still inferior to Sony and Canon.
"Okay, in this case of acquisition, we can make an exception." The old man gritted his teeth and gave in. Anyway, whoever Xia Chuan wanted to acquire, it was unlikely to fail.
Next, he asked a bunch of questions. Shiyun was speechless. It would take a month to complete the acquisition.
Xia Chuan finally sighed: "If you don't worry, let's just go public on the stock market, set up a board of directors to supervise, and have the U.S. Securities Regulatory Commission supervise. Is that okay?"
The old man said seriously: "It must be launched in Germany."
Zang Hong suddenly wanted to beat him up.
