Chapter 227 Zhou Xuan(1/2)
Ningya is a comprehensive company in China, involved in rail transit, new energy, electronics and automobile industries.
Relying on the semi-automatic and semi-manual model, it suddenly opened a gap in the lithium battery industry, and began to receive many orders based on its extremely high cost performance.
The future is an era of new energy, and the crucial core of batteries must attract much attention. Therefore, Neia's market value can be said to have soared, from 30 billion to 100 billion in the past year!
The equivalent of US dollars has reached tens of billions, and it can definitely be regarded as a top large-scale group.
However, as the performance of Umbrella battery cars began to show, and as the battery capabilities were exposed, the stock price of Ningya Group, which was making rapid progress, suddenly fell to the limit.
And it’s still falling by the limit continuously!
This kind of dimensionality reduction attack on a purely technical level can no longer be solved by good news.
Unless they declare now that they have also cracked the relevant technology!
The former king suddenly fell with the change of technology. This happened more than once, but Zhou Qun, the chairman of Neia, did not expect that it would happen to him.
At first, he wanted to purchase a neon production line, but was unable to do so, and the price was simply prohibitive, so he gritted his teeth and came up with a semi-manual and semi-mechanized model, which greatly reduced the cost of the lithium battery production line.
And rely on this to break out of the siege.
Today, Ningya can be said to be the most cost-effective lithium battery manufacturer and is favored by people all over the world.
But everything was shattered by the thunderstorm of Umbrella's new battery car.
"Sure enough, technology is the primary productive force."
Zhou Qun stood in front of the office window, looking down at the country he had conquered with his own hands and feet, and a trace of melancholy appeared in his eyes.
In fact, I have made money over the years, and even if I quit the job, I can still live in an apartment.
But he was unwilling...
A trace of melancholy passed away in a flash, and soon turned into a trace of determination.
Umbrella disclosed the battery technology. He knew that if the other party dared to disclose it so publicly, it would be difficult to crack it.
Although Ningya has now begun to make a fortune, its foundation is still weak. Compared with Panasonic and LG, its R&D capabilities are still lacking.
By the time I can develop it myself, I am afraid that several established scientific research powerhouses have already implemented it, and the investment will most likely be in vain!
If this is the case, then he can only find another way.
OEM!
Just look at the number of Umbrella battery cars. Now they are unable to ship batteries to external parties, which also shows their own shortcomings.
Zhou Qun has investigated some of the manufacturers acquired by Umbrella. Many of them are domestic rivals that he has defeated, so he knows a lot about their production capacity!
These cannot satisfy Umbrella!
If that's the case, why not come to us?
We will do OEM work for you. As long as you earn the OEM fee, the main profit will be handed over to you. It saves time and is a win-win situation. Moreover, you can also find ways to learn the corresponding production technology through OEM!
Ningya's advantage is that it is semi-manual and semi-automatic, so it is more convenient to change products than a fully mechanized production line. This is their unique advantage!
Whether it’s patent fees or anything else, we recognize it!
No one can give a better price than ours...
But just when Zhou Qun had made a decision and was about to take action, the internal phone in his office rang.
"Chairman, a representative from Umbrella Company is here, but there is no appointment..."
"See you! Invite them to come over. No, wherever they are, I will come now!"
Zhou Qun also perked up after hearing this. It is very likely that Umbrella is also interested in its own production capacity!
He is not afraid of appearing anxious.
Under this kind of technological suppression, the two sides are completely disproportionate, and there is no equal treatment.
My own anxiousness is also a kind of sincerity to a certain extent!
If you really want to show off at such a critical moment of life and death, isn't that asking for death?
Later, Zhou Qun, along with his secretary and legal affairs officer, saw Umbrella representatives at the door.
The representative of Umbrella is a very beautiful Asian with smooth straight hair. She looks a bit cold, but she looks heroic in her OL uniform.
"Director Jay, this is Ms. Kim Yeon-hyun, the executive president of Umbrella's Asia headquarters."
A female employee from Neia next to her ran over in a panic and said to Zhou Qun quickly.
Even Zhou Qun didn't expect that this person was actually the CEO of Umbrella's Asia headquarters!
He looks like he is of Korean descent.
Ningya is now considered a first-class manufacturer, with large enough scale and volume.
But to be honest, there is really no need for Umbrella, which has cutting-edge technology, to arrange for such a person to come over.
The fact that the other party came over also explained a problem, that is, Umbrella Company may have quite big things to talk about this time!
Even the acquisition of Neia wouldn't surprise Zhou Qun. Umbrella does have the financial resources...
…
The negotiation went smoothly, or Zhou Qun was originally unable to put up much resistance!
In the end, Umbrella invested and purchased 67% of the shares of Ningya Semiconductor Co., Ltd., the largest shareholder of Ningya Group.
In the future, all the battery production lines of Ningya Group will be adjusted accordingly and replaced with Umbrella's format. After the semi-finished products are prepared, they will be transported to the processing plant wholly owned by Umbrella in China for final optimization.
In fact, this condition is not very good, but it is difficult for Neia to make any effective resistance.
Because the longer time passes, the worse Neia's fate will be!
Umbrella had more than one choice of target, but Neia only had one path. The two sides were not equal.
However, Umbrella has also made some very sincere promises. For example, Neia's own brand will not change, and the batteries it produces will still be Neia-branded batteries.
And it will increase investment in the field of electric vehicles in the future.
The production line of ordinary fuel vehicles should be modified and discarded.
It's just that Ningya is a listed company, and the process of company acquisition itself is still relatively complicated. Coming here now is to finalize the intention.
But this is almost the only way to survive in front of Neia, so although the integration will take a lot of time, the overall trend is already foreseeable.
In particular, the above authorities also attach great importance to this acquisition. Originally, it would have been possible for such an important enterprise to directly intervene or even prevent it from being acquired.
The acquirer is Umbrella!
Not to mention Umbrella's current investment in China, let's just say that the battery production line is produced domestically. In fact, it is happy to do so.
You must know that when Umbrella acquired factories and invested in China, some crooked media in the West were not less pacey.
I think it is unsafe and worrying to place such a factory in the East.
But in the end, Umbrella was asked to come up with its original explanation. Some materials were only available in the East, and Umbrella had to consider its own business risks.
Combined with the supply chain and labor costs, Dongfang is the best choice.
If it is not allowed, perhaps only the parent company and the Asian branch can complete the separation and turn the Asian branch into an out-and-out oriental enterprise. They don't want to do this, but they may be forced to do so.
Having said that, what else can be done?
To judge others by yourself, this is indeed a normal operation for capitalists!
This time also made many people understand why Umbrella gave up such high profits on specific hepatitis B drugs. It turned out that they had been prepared for it a long time ago.
Capital is greedy, and so is beautiful capital. If the benefits are large enough, what Umbrella said is indeed a routine operation.
When the profits are big enough, what kind of beauty are you?
It's just that Great Beauty is the world's largest consumer country, and it also has a lot of say and control over global distribution, so it would not make this choice unless the interests were huge to a certain extent.
They wanted to make sure Umbrella was bluffing.
But looking back, this...
It seems that we have blocked other people's treatment plans.
Although tt can be banned, the other party only holds 10% of the profits, and most of the money is banned by other people.
For the rest, should I ban lenses or stone-removing drugs?
Good guy, it turns out that the other party is really serious!
If they really have the necessary materials in the East and must rely on them to produce enough goods, then it seems normal to make this 'helpless' choice after weighing them.
If it is an ordinary company, there may also be some other embarrassing operations.
But looking at the still-cold corpse... Oh, no, it's the 'missing' former CEO of Hua Nuo. It doesn't seem worth it.
In fact, Dameili has a tendency of manufacturing outflows. Everyone is doing this, so it is normal for people to choose Dongfang to build factories.
It's just that in the past, this kind of high value-added factory was completely enough to be placed in the West, because the selling price was high enough and labor costs were nothing.
But Umbrella made this choice, but they didn't have much else to do.
If batteries are to meet demand, they indeed need high production capacity.
To be continued...
