Chapter 3845 I hope you fail

Getting married? Hearing this word, Jessica was inexplicably happy and looked at Lin Feng shyly.

Lin Feng was also stunned, but then he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Marry, Bill, do you think it's a suitable time for me to get married now?" Lin Feng asked.

Clinton thought about it and shook his head helplessly. Indeed, marriage is the perfect solution to this matter, but it is obvious that Lin Feng cannot get married now. This guy has too many confidants, and if he really wants to marry an American girl, the Chinese government may have some opinions. At least in the eyes of the Chinese government, he can accept an American wife, but he may not be able to accept Lin Feng becoming an American son-in-law.

"Then let's take the first plan. Find a US-funded bank, use the future 'Chrysler' shares as collateral to make a loan, and make money from nothing!" Lin Feng decided to say that Lin Feng would never agree to the second plan to add another partner. This plan is undoubtedly the stupidest.

"Okay, then take the first option. Regarding the financing bank, Abby will select and select a financing bank that is not hostile to you!" Clinton said with a smile.

Lin Feng nodded. This would be better. Lin Feng was terrified that those guys in the "g23" were making trouble behind the scenes. Although it was just a car company, it was not enough to subvert the commercial empire that Lin Feng had built. But it was annoying that someone was making trouble after all, right?

Clinton was moving very quickly, or the investment institution built by Abby Cohen was operating very quickly. The next day, he found a US-funded bank that was willing to fund Jessica's investment and acquisition of Chrysler. This US-funded bank is Goldman Sachs.

It is very simple to choose Goldman Sachs. Two reasons. Abby Cohen used to work with him here. He is very familiar with his capital operation. The loan is convenient and fast. The second reason is that Goldman Sachs was founded by German immigrant Marcus Goldman in 1869. Of course, over the years, after more than a hundred years of development, the boss behind it, or who his equity really belongs to, is already very mysterious. However, compared with other American banks, Goldman Sachs is still the most sincere one that Abby Cohen can choose. After all, most other American banks are under the control of ‘g23’, and of course Goldman Sachs may also be in control.

However, Abby Cohen has worked here after all, and he has some of his own sources of information. In the future, if Goldman Sachs wants to make trouble, she can also learn about it in advance. This is much better than in other American banks. Moreover, the loan to Jessica for $3.5-4 billion to acquire Chrysler, and few banks will do this.

In the afternoon of the same day, Lin Feng and Jessica met with Juergen Schlump, president of Daimler Chrysler Group, under the guidance of Clinton, and Robert Eaton, president of Chrysler Group's parent company.

Daimler Chrysler Group was originally two companies. In 1998, Daimler-Benz and Chrysler merged, with a total amount of up to US$38 billion. It was the largest automobile manufacturing merger in history. Originally, the two companies were interested in each other's market. Daimler-Benz was the largest automobile manufacturing company in Germany and occupied an extremely large market in Europe, but in the North American market, its share could only be sold for 120,000 vehicles. Chrysler could sell 3 million vehicles in the North American market every year, but in the European market, it only accounted for 1% of the market share. The merger of the two companies was for each other's market share, hoping to achieve a win-win situation. But the result was a loss.

The originally profitable Mercedes-Benz series of Daimler Group was forced to use its profits to fill Chrysler's hundreds of millions of dollars in the cave, which made Daimler extremely depressed. Under the heavy pressure of employees' social security and the hopelessness of Chrysler turning losses into profits, he hoped to sell it to unravel the condom.

"Hi, Mr. Lin, I'm glad we can sit down and negotiate!" Jurgen Schlump said with a smile. The EU still has a good impression of Lin Feng.

"Mr. Schlump, I hope we can have a happy cooperation!" Lin Feng said with a smile, "But the protagonist of this acquisition is her, the beautiful Miss Jessica Alba." Lin Feng pushed Jessica Alba out.

Schlump was stunned. Although he saw Jessica's name for this negotiation, he instinctively focused on Lin Feng. After all, Jessica was just an actor, and it was a bit unbelievable for the old-fashioned German Schlump. However, he still gave Jessica respect.

"Beautiful Miss Alba, I hope we can have a happy cooperation this time!" Schlump greeted with a smile.

The negotiations went smoothly. Daimler Group intends to divest Chrysler as a non-performing asset to alleviate the economic pressure of its main business Mercedes-Benz, while Lin Feng’s side intends to acquire and absorb Chrysler’s technology, experience and equipment. In terms of price, the two sides did not care about it. Soon, an agreement was reached. Daimler Group sold all its equity in Chrysler’s subsidiary to Lin Feng for $8.7 billion. Oh, of course, it should be Jessica, Lin Feng, and "Shenlong Automobile". Of course, the nearly $10 billion debt borne by Chrysler also belongs to Jessica.

Lin Feng and "Shenlong Auto" will take on the responsibility. As for Jessica, the equity distribution of Lin Feng and "Shenlong Auto" is the matter of the three parties. Of course, it can also be said that it is Lin Feng's business on one hand. After all, whether it is Jessica or "Shenlong Auto", this matter is completely decided by Lin Feng.

"Mr. Lin, the cooperation is pleasant. We will order people to report this acquisition to the EU Ministry of Commerce and wait for its ruling. I believe that with Mr. Lin's reputation and status in Europe, I believe that the EU will approve this acquisition soon." Schlump said with a smile.

The EU agreed! Lin Feng nodded. Such large-scale acquisitions, especially when it comes to automobile manufacturing, naturally require the EU's approval. However, Lin Feng naturally did not worry about the EU's stoppage. Because Daimler Group sold Chrysler, not Mercedes-Benz, and was the Chrysler, which suffered extremely serious losses. The EU will only agree, not refuse. On the contrary, if Chrysler is sold, it will be the other way around.

Now we only need to get the recognition of the US Department of Commerce. After all, Chrysler Group itself holds 47% of the joint venture, and if the US strongly refuses, the transaction is unlikely to be successful.

wait!

The EU was the first to approve the deal and agreed to Daimler Group to sell Chrysler to Lin Feng. However, the United States was in trouble. The US Department of Commerce was in a fierce discussion about the acquisition. Hawks firmly opposed the deal, believing that Chrysler could never be sold to Lin Feng, but conservatives believed that the protagonist of this acquisition was Jessica Alba. Although her relationship with Lin Feng is well known, there is no difference between her acquisition and Lin Feng's acquisition, but according to US law, they have no right to interfere forcibly. If they interfere forcibly, they will be extremely prone to sue, and Lin Feng will not give up easily. Moreover, the funding provided this time was Goldman Sachs, which is the authentic Bank of America.

"Hi, Bill, do you think the Ministry of Commerce will agree?" Lin Feng asked.

"At present, the possibility of finally agreeing is relatively high. Because the United States is a legal society, it is impossible for them to refuse such a deal." Clinton said with a smile, "Lin, I think it's better to find an American partner to help you make an acquisition. And you don't come forward, and it's better for him or her to have sufficient funds to make an acquisition. After all, even if the United States is the most enlightened country in the world, it is still very conservative in some matters. Especially you are the target of public criticism!"

Lin Feng nodded. In his memory, Ellison is the one who can fully trust and be rich. However, his main business is in the IT industry, and it is unlikely that he can help him acquire other companies. And those who have American nationality around him can fully trust Jessica Alba and Liu Yifei are also American nationality. Of course, if you really want to say it, his son Lin Jiaqi actually has American nationality, but his identity has not been exposed.

Is Liu Yifei? Her family has a background in the United States and is also a businessman. But after all, she is still a Chinese face, not as pure American as Jessica. Lin Feng was thinking about how to cultivate her career line. Just as Li Ka-shing's wise choice made Li Zeju join Canadian nationality and then acquired Air Canada. Of course, now Air Canada is under the name of Avril, and was sold to Avril by Li Zeju, which is actually sold to herself.

While Lin Feng was waiting for the approval of the US Department of Commerce, Kilpatrick visited Lin Feng again, hoping to get Lin Feng's help, and proposed that he could put pressure on the US Department of Commerce, or that he could directly mobilize the rights of Detroit citizens and vote through a referendum to whether Lin Feng's bill to acquire Chrysler was passed. Because this is a company in Detroit, Detroit citizens have the right to decide the future of their city.

"Lin, please help me once, I can give you more!" Kilpatrick begged.

In the past two days, he thought a lot. He even wanted to take the risk to find someone to delete these text messages by himself, or to bribe people from the telephone company to delete these text messages. But the risk is too great, and once it is leaked, he will be finished. Finding Lin Feng is the least risky solution.

Lin Feng smiled.

"Wait until I think about it, how about it?" Lin Feng said with a smile.

Kilpatrick left in despair again, but compared to last time, he still had more hope. After all, Lin Feng said, consider it. Last time he just let himself leave. This is a little progress, not that.

I hope the US Department of Commerce will terminate this transaction! Mayor Kilpatrick muttered silently in his heart. In that way, he can help Lin Feng and show his value. (To be continued...)
