City: I, A World Car Overlord

Half a century ago, Detroit was still a city that the people of the free country longed for and the best place to realize the "dream of a free country."

But for various reasons, Detroit slowly lost its former glory, the economy began to shrink, the industrial depression, a large number of factories closed or half-stopped production, and workers were unemployed.

Those who have the conditions moved out one after another, and those who stayed either fancy Deteri’s industrial heritage, or were the bottom-level residents who had no way out, and the permanent population dropped to less than 400,000.

A few years ago, the Federal Court formally made a bankruptcy ruling on this city, and since then the "City of Hope" has become the "most sad city" and "the most dangerous city" in the free nation.

This is also an important reason why Lin Fan chose Deteri.

A large number of factories are closed or semi-stopped, which means that a suitable production base can be found at the lowest price.

The industrial depression and unemployment of workers also means that experienced and skilled workers can be hired at relatively low wages.

The fact is exactly what Lin Fan thought. Just two days later, Jimmy King reported the status of the Deteri factory to Lin Fan according to Lin Fan's request.

Especially the parts related to automobile manufacturing and automobile manufacturing are more detailed.

Lin Fan looked at the report, very satisfied, and nodded: "Thank you, Jimmy King, this report is very important to me."

Jimmy King laughed softly: "Now you are my boss, of course I have to do my best to complete the work you assigned."

Lin Fan glanced at Jimmy King and met her gaze. He felt that there was a trace of enthusiasm in Jimmy King's eyes, and he couldn't help but thump, and Jimmy King didn't dodge, but became a bit fanatical.

Lin Fan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Sure enough, he was born and raised in a free country. Courage is fat. The expression in his eyes was clearly intended to hit the young master.

Before Lin Fan could say anything, Jimmy King bent down slightly and opened the report in front of Lin Fan. A charming fragrance rushed towards Lin Fan, and a touch of whiteness appeared in front of Lin Fan's eyes.

Finally, Jimmy King's finger landed on one of the pages of the report, and he said to himself: "Boss, I suggest you look at this company called OBM. Its full name is Western Machinery Manufacturing Industry Corporation.

OBM has the most advanced production equipment and industrial models in the world. It has done vehicle assembly for Mercury, Barker, and Rickon. The founder Simmons even served as Mercury's chief designer.

It stands to reason that with these two cores, OBM's development prospects should be very good. However, it was also affected by the subprime mortgage crisis in 2006, and the capital chain broke and began to decline.

This led to the failure of the two models developed by OBM for Mercury. Later, the death of the old Simmons due to a heart attack made OBM even worse.

Today, OBM can only rely on advanced equipment to provide OEMs to other vehicle companies. Mianqiang maintains that the company has not gone bankrupt because of this, but nothing more. "

At this point, Jimmy King straightened up, looked straight at Lin Fan, and waited for Lin Fan's meaning.

Lin Fan sat on the boss chair, his mind drifted a little, looked up at Jimmy King, smiled and said: "Jimmy King, you are beautiful and good at showing your most beautiful side, but your work ability is even better. ."

Jimmy Jin's face blushed slightly: "Thank you for the compliment, boss."

Lin Fan touched his chin and said directly: "I took a look. OBM is a listed company with a market value of 1.5 billion US dollars, but I am not interested in the capital market."

Companies going public have to face too complicated supervision, and the capital market of the free country is too complicated. Lin Fan does not want to waste time and energy on this aspect. The most important thing is that Baolong Group is not short of money.

Jimmy King seemed to have understood Lin Fan's thoughts a long time ago and said: "Boss, I had contact with OBM's shareholders yesterday. Except for Simmons, the other shareholders agreed to transfer their shares.

And they sold the company at a price of US$500 million. That is to say, the boss only needs US$500 million to take down OBM. Without considering the market value, the independence of the Baolong Free Country branch can be guaranteed. "

Lin Fan believes in Jimmy King's words that the OPN car sales company behind her is an old company. It takes minutes to change the form of a listed company that is about to go bankrupt.

Lin Fan calculated it, 500 million U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to more than 3 billion Chinese yuan. Although it is a bit expensive, after reading the OBM information, it still feels more cost-effective.

You must know that OBM raised 1.5 billion U.S. dollars at the beginning. For OBM shareholders, 500 million U.S. dollars is estimated to be unable to collect the equipment money...

But they can’t do anything if they don’t sell it. The company has reached the point where it can’t continue to operate. Instead of running out of energy a little bit, it’s better to throw away this hot potato sooner.

Lin Fan looked at the documents of several other auto manufacturing companies and felt that OBM was the most suitable. He shrugged and said: "In this case, you take Chen Yuan to OBM, and then bargain and buy OBM."

Jimmy King blinked his eyes: "Uh, boss, I seem to have told you just now that other shareholders are eager to sell their shares, but Little Simmons refuses to agree.

Because Simmons holds 40% of the company's shares, he has a veto power. Of course, the boss can get 60% of the shares of other shareholders and control OBM's decision-making power.

However, the boss, you just said that you want to maintain the independence of the Free Country branch of the Baolong Group. Having Simmons standing there will cause a lot of trouble to the company. "

Lin Fan couldn't help frowning. He didn't want any different voices in the branch, let alone allow other shareholders to exist, and said: "Jimmy King, can you talk to Simmons alone, what on earth is he going to do?"

Jimmy King said helplessly: "I have already talked to Simmons, this guy is the root wood, he tried to make the two models in his hand to save the OBM company."

Lin Fan smiled: "The company is about to close down. What did he use to develop new models and where did his R&D funds come from? Do you use his cocooned hands to rub it out?"

Jimmy Jin chuckled: "Don't tell me the boss. Although the development progress of the two models is very slow, under Simmons's insistence, with a few engineers who are obsessed with automobile development, the progress of the project has been pushed to 70. %about.

Moreover, Simmons is a Ph.D. in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University. Those R&D engineers are also rare talents. If they are given time, it is really possible to get new models out. "

So awesome?

Lin Fan was really surprised, and then his eyes rolled: "Jimmy King, you can arrange for me. I will go to the OBM company and have a look and talk to Simmons by the way."

"Good boss, I will make arrangements now."
