On the other side, looking at the curious glances from several other people, Lin Chen slowly explained:

“According to our development strategy of building a super car manufacturing plant and selling Sugon cars globally, all we actually need is technology authorization!

Because let’s not talk about whether Rover Motors’ production equipment can meet the demand. Rover Motors’ old-fashioned production equipment is of little use to us. After we buy it, many old production equipment will definitely be replaced. Abandoned or resold.

Because we have a five-axis machining center, we can directly produce any part. As for other automobile production equipment, we can directly purchase new ones.

Although the total cost of purchasing new automobile production equipment may be higher, the output will be greater when the new automobile production equipment is more powerful!

So what we actually really need is the property rights or authorization of many automotive technology patents, and one of these companies has already achieved our goal for us.

Because what they bought was the property rights of Rover Motors' many engines and vehicle platforms for various models. "

Hearing Lin Chen's words, the eyes of several other people at the scene also brightened, and they discovered that they did not really need those old production equipment.

Although in theory it may be more expensive to buy new automobile production equipment, in fact it is more economical, because Rover Motors is an abnormal enterprise, an abnormal enterprise after bankruptcy and liquidation!

When they went bankrupt, they themselves were burdened with a large amount of debt pressure. When they acquired Rover Motors, they also had to bear that debt pressure.

Why did SAIC acquire Rover Motors when they only acquired half of it and then suddenly stopped acquiring it? The reason was that they found Rover Motors to be a cheat because Rover Motors was saddled with a huge debt!

So it seems that Sugon Technology will be more expensive to buy new automobile production equipment, but in fact, compared with shouldering the debt of the original owner and the money paid to buy the Rover car itself, it is more economical to directly spend money to buy new automobile production equipment.

Of course, the premise is that Sugon Technology can obtain relevant technology licenses from SAIC. After all, they spent 67 million pounds to buy many technical assets from Rover Motors.

If you suddenly step forward and want to buy someone else's license at this time, it is equivalent to letting someone hatch a pullet from their own hen for you, allowing you to own a hen yourself.

Then it is very difficult for you to gradually develop a large chicken farm based on one hen and add a potential competitor to yourself.

So Chen Dong, who thought about this problem, spoke and asked:

"But what should I do if SAIC refuses to sell it?"

However, facing Chen Dong's question, Lin Chen shook his head slightly, then said with a smile:

"Don't forget the fact that SAIC is a state-owned enterprise, as long as we handle the capital side and the Shanghai side.

Then I spent a substantial amount of money to purchase the corresponding technology patent licenses to block the mouths of some people, and I think they would allow it. "

Hearing this, Chen Dong and Ni Guangnan's eyes also brightened, and they found that this was indeed a good idea. It could be said that it was almost a sure thing.

Because it is easy to deal with the demons in the capital. First of all, the relationship between the capital and Sugon Technology is very good, and it is almost just a matter of words.

As for the Magic City side, things are easier to talk about, because Sugon Technology wants to build a super car production factory that is the number one in the Xiaxia.

The total investment in the factory is expected to be as high as 4 billion U.S. dollars. Based on the exchange rate of 1:8.21 between US dollars and Xia Yuan in July 2005, this 4 billion U.S. dollars is 32.84 billion Xia Yuan!

This is a quite terrifying amount of investment. You must know that SAIC’s market value this year has just reached 10 billion Xia Yuan.

At this time, Shuguang Technology spent 32.84 billion Xia Yuan to build an automobile factory, which is equivalent to the market value of 3 SAIC Motor!

Finally, considering that according to previous history, SAIC's annual sales volume in 2005 was 917,500 units. At this time, Sugon Technology invested 32.84 billion yuan in building a factory, so the production capacity must be at least 4 million vehicles per year.

Of course, the actual annual production capacity will definitely exceed 4 million cars. It is also possible to reach an annual production of 5 million cars, but the specific amount depends on the future situation.

However, even with a production capacity of 4 million vehicles, based on the annual car sales of 5.75 million vehicles in the summer of 2005, once Sugon Motors is at full production, Sugon Motors' sales volume will directly reach 80% of the country's cars!

Therefore, if Sugon Technology really locates its factory in Shanghai at this time, it will be equivalent to a super car factory with an annual output of 4 million to 5 million located in Shanghai.

Finally, with the addition of factories of SAIC and other automobile brands, Magic City will become the largest super car production base in the entire Xia Dynasty!

So the Magic City side is actually easy to deal with. If Shuguang Technology reveals a little bit, the Magic City side will definitely rush up like a shark that smells fishy smell.

Then I asked Sugon Technology to locate the largest super car factory in Daxia in Shanghai. As for the licensing of many technical patents of Rover Motors that Sugon Technology needs, it is easy to say.

They will use their own means to do everything they can to help Sugon Technology achieve this goal, so that the super car factory can safely settle in the Magic City.

After all, the achievement of this incident is so great that it can almost be regarded as one that will remain in history. It is a historical event and achievement that cannot be erased no matter what.

So this matter seems to be a sure thing. If nothing unexpected happens, Sugon Technology should be able to obtain authorization from SAIC for many of Rover Automobile's technical patents!

"In this case, then we have to carefully consider how to cheat Fengtian Automobile."

At this time, Chen Dong was also very excited when he said this.

After all, Fengtian Motors recently made trouble with the Rover Automobile acquisition incident, which can be said to have made Chen Dong, Ni Guangnan and others angry to death. It is naturally very satisfying to be able to cheat Fengtian Motors at this time.

So just like that, the determined Sugon R\u0026D Center, Sugon Electronics and Sugon Technology began to take action, but in order to prevent Fengtian from discovering it.

Sugon Technology did not contact Beijing and Shanghai in advance, but pretended that it would never give up on Rover Motors.

Several executives responsible for acquisitions made many friendly remarks to PwC in the media.

In this way, in the following time, except for the progress news of Sugon Technology's anti-monopoly lawsuit that appeared from time to time, Sugon Technology overall seemed quite calm.

And time just passed by for a few days, and in the blink of an eye it was July 25, 2005.

On this day, the Rover car auction held by PricewaterhouseCoopers was officially held. On this day, hundreds of domestic and foreign reporters gathered.

Among them, the head of Sugon Technology's acquisition team is Chen Dong. At this time, he looks like he has a chance to win, which makes outsiders think that the acquisition is a sure thing.
