The Legend of Return
Chapter 456. Terms of Transaction (1)
First and foremost.
Sweden’s Gothenburg International Airport.
After the giant private plane landed on the runway, a group of bodyguards came out to the VIP exit.
It was unusual to see him guarding the four sides.
His eyes were keen and alert.
Panic guards also received orders from above and did not approach them.
Ordinary citizens looked at them with unfamiliar eyes.
It was a rare sight in Sweden.
Even the king did not receive such protection.
It started raining heavily.
The snow that remained around melted in the Swedish spring rain that hastened spring.
Even in the evening, the weather was warmer than in the morning.
A female bodyguard held up a large umbrella.
Inside, a slender woman with a scarf covering her face moved forward.
I immediately boarded the black-tinted Benz bulletproof car that was waiting.
Woo woo woo.
The vehicle started quickly.
About 10 escort vehicles rushed down the road, surrounding the front and back.
As if he had a purpose, he hit the road in the pouring rain without hesitation.

‘Half and half? What the hell is that…’
Fair Larsson continued to be confused by the words of an Asian youth like Don Quixote.
Instead of the investment money that I tried to get easily, it has become a case of attaching a hump.
The feeling of being looked down on because of one’s age has long since disappeared.
I stared at Daniel at the enigmatic question.
“…Do you mean that you will support as much as you have obtained from the government?”
Karina carefully asked the meaning of the question.
“That is correct!”
“!!!”
At the word “correct”, Fair received a shock as if his heart was thumping.
At the time of the collapse of the shipbuilding industry, the Spanish government decided not to inject national finances when the manufacturing industry collapsed.
Even if you pour it, you know that if economic feasibility is not guaranteed, it will eventually go bankrupt.
Daniel wanted to invest his money in such a situation.
“Don’t you know wealth is impossible? If I had been able to get financial support, I wouldn’t have to sell the ball part!”
“Isn’t the beauty of business to make the inherently impossible possible? There is no future for those who do not challenge. Conditions aren’t bad either. If you receive 1 billion dollars, you will receive 1 billion dollars. It is the Swedish government that threw 4 billion dollars into the shipbuilding industry. It is the automobile industry that creates much more jobs than that. We will also provide legal guarantees. I am not a lying investor.”
“Ummm…”
Fair Larsson couldn’t answer, only groaned.
Daniel’s offer wasn’t a bad deal.
Several of the new car lineups cost more than $400 million each.
In order to install a safety system unique to the ball, it was inevitable to spend more development costs than other cars.
‘As long as it attracts at least 1 billion dollars…’
It was a proposal worthy of consideration from the government’s point of view.
$2 billion was enough money to last for several years.
The half-and-half lure stimulated my appetite quite a bit.
“And we plan to promote the North American plant as well.”
“yes? A North American plant?”
CEO Fair Larsson couldn’t come to his senses at Daniel’s sudden remark.
The reason for the drop in volume sales was the lack of a North American plant.
Due to high transportation costs, including tariffs, competitiveness has declined.
The dealer network and service network were a mess, so even after selling, I was criticized.
American consumers valued AS, but Volbu lacked service centers.
However, once the North American plant is built, parts supply becomes smoother.
Naturally, when service satisfaction rises, sales follow.
“Can’t you?”
At the clever Daniel’s question, Fair Larsson’s face turned red as if he had been found out.
It wasn’t that it couldn’t be done, it had to be made unconditionally.
“Really?”
Karina asked quickly.
“European quantities will be manufactured here in Sweden. At the same time, we plan to knock on the Asian market as well as China.”
“…Car factories cost a lot of money.”
Per Larsson confirmed it again with an expression of disbelief.
It was true that the amount of money invested in expanding one car line was astronomical.
The reason why the ballbu failed to knock on the North American market was there.
“Don’t you trust investors?”
“The American Auto Workers Union is tough. If you get caught, it’s a big deal.”
“The world has changed. The financial crisis that started in the United States has driven many union members to the streets. It was only now that they were acutely aware of their situation. In the future, it will be difficult for such strong unions to exert their power again in the United States. A company must exist for there to be a union. Sweden wishes it were different from American unions.”
‘You’re unusual for your age. What on earth do you not know?’
Karina was deeply impressed.
Most of the athletes who won medals at the Winter Olympics often had their brains surrounded by muscles.
However, Daniel was different from the average players.
He was doing whatever he wanted with his father, the head of the ball department, in front of him.
‘If it’s that man…’
Karina’s heart grew hotter and hotter.
From the time of my grandfather, the family had a relationship with Volbu cars.
Bullbo, which is called a car that is strong but has no selfishness.
I felt like I could break that image now.
“As a result of the restructuring, several useful automobile plants have emerged. Take it over and hire Americans, and the state will give you significant support. You can get tax free for about 10 years.”
Daniel explained his plan.
“If that’s the case…”
Pear Larsson also felt hope welling up.
If the North American plant is put into operation, competitiveness, which was poor in terms of scale, could be realized.
When component prices fall, there is more room for prices to fall.
“We have to make the best in both parts and safety specifications.”
“yes?”
“I plan to pursue a luxury brand.”
“…What is that?”
Cold water poured over the hopeful Pear Larsson’s head.
“The AS warranty period is at least 5 years and 100,000 km. The engine and transmission should be 150,000 kilometers.”
“That is too long!”
“Shouldn’t we get rid of the notoriety of the backlog that Bolbu had?”
“…..”
Safe and strong, but the cheeks were famous for minor troubles.
“Satisfy the emotional quality of buyers. If you are not confident, I will liquidate.”
Volbu representative Fair Larsson was really going crazy.
Delicious dishes were being served continuously, but I couldn’t even eat it, and the bitter water was circulating in my mouth.
At the same time as hope, torture was repeated.
“It has to be at the level of a German premium car. Beginning with state-of-the-art safety equipment, aim for the best in all parts of the audio brake system. It is an imperative as an investor.”
It was a tough tone that couldn’t be found even an inch back.
“And…”
Daniel’s eyes brightened like a mischievous kid.
Everyone in the room was sucked into his eyes.
‘…I only saw it when I was young. It’s really… amazing.’
Do-hee Do-hee, from Wall Street, had an opportunity to confirm CEO Jang Tae-san once again.
From the first time I met him, he was an unusual representative.
It was increasingly difficult to guess the end of that ability.
Even though he had tremendous financial power, he proudly pecked the representative of Volbu.
At the same time, I threw a bait to make it not go down.
As an investor, it was a seasoned attitude of 200 points.
Do-hee remembered this moment clearly.
It was clear that today’s negotiations would become his future assets.
“Are you ready to develop new models?”
“yes?”
“I wonder if there are plans for the next car other than the new car currently under study.”
“That’s…”
In the face of the sale of the company, there was no room to plan the next car other than a new car.
Fair Larsson had no choice but to keep his mouth shut at this point.
“I understand that vehicle development is developed with a minimum of 4 to 5 years in mind. In the future, consumer tastes will change more rapidly. You have to pull out a new car every four years.”
Daniel’s automotive erudition and the vision he presented left Fair Larsson truly speechless.
“The next car is an electric car.”
“It’s too soon! Not only batteries, but also charging infrastructure is not in place yet! It’s a bunch!”
The cheeks were also being prepared, but it was still sketchy.
However, investors boldly comment on the development of electric vehicles.
Fair Larsson was the first to protest strongly.
“The investment amount is at least 10 billion dollars.”
“10 billion dollars!!!”
“wow!”
“Haa…”
An astonishment close to exclamation broke out in the room.
This was a big project that could not be easily tackled.
“I will prepare all the funds. So… CEO Per Larsson, please handle this investment only. If that happens, no one will be able to ignore the cheekbones in the future!”
The eyes and gags of an intense jungle lion.
Per Larsson was nodding involuntarily.
***
– Boss. you mean the land?
“That’s right. Buy land or buildings in Gothenburg, mainly in Malmo, Sweden.”
– All right.
“How is the purchase of buildings in Hong Kong going?”
– We are proceeding as planned. About $30 billion was invested, including large buildings.
“Don’t spare your money.”
-Boss will do as you wish.
“And also buy land on Jeju Island in Korea.”
– Jeju Island? is it an island?
Robert Ryan did not know Jeju Island.
“yes. It is an island. It is open to foreign investors, so focus on buying land with seaside views.”
– I’ll proceed.
It wasn’t bad to change virtual currency into tangible assets.
When this recession ends, a real estate bubble will erupt around the world.
Diversification of investments was necessary.
I also created a private equity fund and bought buildings here and there.
It was a secret purchase through several private equity funds created by Robert Ryan.
“Then I will contact you again.”
– Rest.
The conversation with the Volbu representative ended at the right time.
The dish was delicious.
Per Larsson, frantically receiving orders, had to accomplish something on her own.
“Try to use your skills. Whoops.”
The opportunity is limited to only one day tomorrow.
As such, they will have to show me their desperation.
Those billions of dollars in investments were mere nicks in a huge money stream.
Money was not a problem, but I wanted to see the capabilities of Volbu Motors in Sweden.
Only those who can deal with the government will have no problem improving relations with the union.
It was Sweden that lacked manufacturing jobs due to Malmö’s tears.
It was entirely their loss if they failed to welcome the investors.
Transactions always come with conditions.
If you refuse, they will go through a liquidation process and take away all your know-how.
“The night view is magical.”
A night view of Sweden from the hotel room.
I drank a few glasses of wine, so the emotional atmosphere was added.
The flowing river and small boat The light on the ground and the stars in the night sky created a dreamy feeling.
Rock again.
I drank another glass of the finest wine provided by room service.
The Swedish night came late, but the taste of the thick hagi was different.
While the city is not flashy, the small lights add to the taste.
Unpolluted Nordic air came in coolly through the open windows.
Susseussut.
The energy that I felt secretly at that time.
“???”
It was unusual.
The air suddenly turned into a calm air.
It feels like time has stopped.
Click.
The door that had been locked opened by itself.
Sabaksabak.
A shadow enters the room with the sound of small footsteps.
It was a woman.
A woman who appeared wearing a prayer shawl.
Mysterious lights floated around her like lies.
It’s like…
“Wizard???”
