"Your Highness, the time has been made. Paul Daimler of Daimler AG, Mr. William Maybach and his son Mr. Karl Maybach, and Mr. Emile Jelinek, the main investor of Daimler AG , are already waiting for you in Stuttgart." Carl von Jonareit said to Qin Tian.
"Well, get ready, let''s set off for Stuttgart right away!" Qin Tian nodded.
"Okay, Your Royal Highness."
With the sess of Qin Tian''s series of enterprises, and at the same time, William II''s perception of Qin Tian is getting better and better. Carl von Jonneret even believes that Qin Tian will definitely be the emperor of the German Empire in the future. . Although, it seems that this possibility is still very small. But Carl has always thought it was possible.
Qin Tian went to Stuttgart this time for the purpose of acquiring Daimler. Although, Daimler and Mercedes-Benz are both bigpanies in the German auto industry. But neitherpany was that big at a time when cars were a luxury that only a select few could afford. Moreover, the situation is also worrying.
In this era, except for Qin Tian, ??probably no one would have imagined how bright the development prospects of the automobile industry would be! After Qin Tian established the Deutsche Motor Vehicle Manufacturing Company, he wanted to take Daimler or Mercedes-Benz into his pocket. In this way, the Deutsche Motor Vehicle Manufacturing Company could quickly have the ability to manufacture various motor vehicles. Coupled with Qin Tian''s financial support and Qin Tian''s grasp of the future development of the auto industry, they will surely achieve great sess in the auto industry.
The reason why Qin Tian put the acquisition target on Daimler instead of Mercedes-Benz. The main reason is that Mercedes-Benz is developing better than Daimler, and it is not easy to acquire it. Daimler is different. After Mr. Daimler died, Daimler began to decline. Although their ''Phoenix'' car is very good performance and good looking. But in thepetition with Mercedes-Benz, it is still at a disadvantage. Thepany''s losses are also on the rise. Under such circumstances, the possibility of Qin Tian acquiring Daimler is undoubtedly much greater.
In addition to this, there is another reason, that is, Daimler owns the patent for motorcycles. Motorcycles are easier and cheaper to manufacture than cars. Qin Tian also nned to produce heavy-duty military motorcycles and three-wheeled motorcycles in order to obtain orders from the army. In the future, jeeps and military trucks will be produced one after another, and armored vehicles and tanks will be developed on this basis. Once these military vehicles are developed and equipped with troops, this will further enhance thebat effectiveness of the German Army. Originally, thebat effectiveness of the German Army was regarded as the number one in Europe and even in the world. With the addition of these weapons, in the future world war, the possibility of winning will be even higher.
The headquarters of Daimler AG is located in Stuttgart. Compared with Mercedes-Benz, which has be a behemoth in the field of motor vehicle manufacturing in the world, Daimler AG is undoubtedly much smaller.
On May 12, 1906, Qin Tian and Karl arrived at Daimler in Stuttgart. A group of shareholders and executives of Daimler had already received the news, and they were already waiting for Qin Tian at the gate of thepany.
"Is this Daimler? In the future, after merging with Mercedes-Benz, it will be the world''s top car manufacturer." Qin Tian stood outside the gate of Daimler, looking at the building with a small factory building and dpidated three-story building. storey office building of thepany.
"His Royal Highness, wee to Stuttgart. It is an honor for our entirepany that you cane to Daimler." Paul Daimler, general manager of thepany, said. As the eldest son of thete Mr. Daimler, Paul Daimler inherited most of Mr. Daimler''spany shares.
"Mr. Daimler, hello. I have always admired Mr. Gottlieb Daimler, and I have always believed that the cars he invented, as well as other patents, are of epoch-making significance. Very Hurry up, these inventions will shine!" Qin Tian said with reverence.
Hearing Qin Tian''s admiration for his father, Paul Daimler''s face was filled with a smile.
Next, Qin Tian shook hands with other senior executives of Daimler AG.
Led by Paul Daimler, Qin Tian made a brief visit to Daimler. I have to admit that the current automobile manufacturing industry is still very primitive. It has nothing to do with the high degree of automation in the future. Daimler''s "Phoenix" car, in the eyes of people of this era, may look pretty good. However, in Qin Tian''s eyes, it was too ugly.
After the tour, Qin Tian went to the meeting room with Paul Daimler and others. As for Qin Tian''s intention, Paul Daimler and others more or less guessed it. After all, although Qin Tian is young, he has already be a business legend in Germany and even Europe. The Deutsche Welfare Lottery Company founded by Qin Tian has be the most profitablepany in Germany.
When Daimler is in trouble, if Qin Tian wants to acquire Daimler, they have no objection.
"Everyone, you should have guessed my reason foring, right?" Qin Tian said with a smile.
"Your Highness, do you want to take a stake in Daimler?" Paul Daimler asked.
"That''s pretty much what it means. However, I want topletely acquire Daimler. At least 80% of the shares must be acquired!" Qin Tian said.
"Complete acquisition?" The faces of several people in Daimler suddenly changed. It can be said that Daimler is entirely their brainchild. If it ispletely acquired by Qin Tian, ??is Daimler still their Daimler?
"Everyone, everyone is very aware of the current situation of Daimler. Your old rival Mercedes-Benz is developing rapidly, but Daimler is stagnant. The market share is also constantly being eroded by Mercedes-Benz. It is estimated that Before long, there will be no ce for Daimler in the automotive market."
Although what Qin Tian said was a bit exaggerated. But for several people in Daimler, everything seems to be developing in the direction Qin Tian said. This is undoubtedly a disaster for them.
"After I bought Daimler, you are still the managers of thepany. Mr. Daimler, you are still the general manager of Daimler. Mr. Maybach, you are still in charge of thepany''s new product development. Yeah Mr. Lineker, your old investments can turn into a lot of money."
