Chapter 367: Bargain Acquisition
When Fang Hexuan returned to his own booth, visitors from several Japanese car companies had not yet left.

He saw several short Japanese people surrounding Hisahiko Uchiyama and asking him all kinds of questions, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that from now on, probably all Japanese car companies would know that there is a car company called BYD in Hong Kong.

He did not go up and take the initiative to get to know these people, but instead watched the Japanese engineers working diligently on the EVO, Land Rover, Cheetah and Terra models.

It’s true that this book has a lot of shortcomings, but its seriousness and shamelessness are indeed worth learning from BYD.

He also plans to emulate the virtuous in the future and learn from their way of "seeking advice".

It was almost 11 o'clock in the morning when they sent the Japanese away. Uchiyama Hisahiko ran up to him and reported:
"They all asked me about BYD's internal situation, and I just answered them perfunctorily."

Fang Hexuan nodded with a smile, indicating that he believed what he said.

Uchiyama Hisahiko continued with a somewhat strange expression:

"Mitsubishi asked the most questions and seemed very interested in our EVO."

Fang Hexuan still had an expression that said "I believe you", but he was happy in his heart.

He poached Uchiyama Hisahiko from Toyota, and all the technical data previously obtained from Mitsubishi had already been translated into Chinese. The original data was placed by Fang Hexuan in the house in Taikoo City.

Therefore, BYD's Japanese CEO did not know the inside story and thought it was a technical secret that the boss bought from Europe.

"Your Japanese colleagues can measure everything wherever they go. This 'craftsman spirit' is really admirable!"

Upon hearing this, Uchiyama Hisahiko blushed and nodded awkwardly to show his agreement.

In the afternoon, Fang Hexuan was no longer on the scene. He accompanied Donatella to the Champs Elysees for shopping.

Although BYD is a new brand and a new company, its corporate structure is very complete. It also made a lot of preparations before participating in the auto show for the first time.

Therefore, even if Fang Hexuan is not present, it will not affect the exhibition effect at all.

With CEO Hisahiko Uchiyama in charge and hundreds of company employees assisting, any feedback or inquiries for BYD can be handled relatively easily.

Perhaps the bet made at the test track in the morning attracted a lot of attention. At around 3 p.m., several newspapers or TV stations from Britain, France, Germany and Italy sent reporters to the BYD booth for interviews.

Uchiyama Hisahiko was also confused, but this did not prevent him from warmly welcoming these foreign "uncrowned kings".

The reporters not only interviewed him as the CEO, but also asked photographers to make a fairly detailed video record of the five cars, even the interior of the cars was not spared.

French reporters even interviewed other visitors, and their interest in BYD seemed to be much greater than that of several other media outlets.

Uchiyama Hisahiko originally thought that the interview was over, but he didn't expect that after these foreign media, Japan's NHK TV station and Sankei Shimbun newspaper would come to him.

He had never been so dazzling when he was a senior executive at Toyota. Now, not only is he interviewed by foreign media, but he also appears on television and newspapers in his home country. He feels a natural sense of satisfaction of returning home in glory.

In fact, NHK and Sankei Shimbun also learned about BYD and its Japanese leader from several Japanese car companies. A car company founded by a Chinese, and its president is Japanese. These two major news points immediately aroused strong interest from the two media.

Uchiyama Hisahiko's reception of them was more enthusiastic and sincere than that of the several European media just now. At least, except for a lot of information involving company confidentiality, the CEO opened up completely.

Fang Hexuan stayed in Paris for three days, half of which he spent at the exhibition and the other half he spent wandering around Paris with his Italian lover. However, on the fourth day, he received a call from Lorenzo, the design director of Pershing Yachts.

The yacht designer told him that Lamborghini design director Lupeo, who had helped to make the contact, was willing to meet.

Although he was dissatisfied with the other party's arrogant attitude and the fact that more than two months had passed before they were willing to sit down and talk, Fang Hexuan was still willing to lower his status for this luxury car brand.

After all, if he could really get it, it would definitely be a huge help to his future automotive empire.

To be honest, if he had a choice, Fang Hexuan would most like to buy Ferrari, but the chances are extremely slim.

Compared with Lamborghini, Ferrari has stronger historical heritage and brand recognition.

In later generations, Lamborghini gave people the impression that it was more of a toy for young rich second-generations to show off and be cool.

Ferrari is more like a work of art in the automotive industry, popular among both men and women, and even middle-aged and elderly wealthy people have a special liking for it.

The difference between the two brands can be seen from their appearance design, or the market segmentation of potential customer groups is very different.

If Fang Hexuan can really complete the acquisition, he will try to let Lamborghini develop a new series that is closer to Ferrari and Porsche in appearance.

Of course, these are all things for later.

After explaining things to Uchiyama Hisahiko and saying goodbye to Luo Lixian, Fang Hexuan returned to Italy with Donatella.

October 10, Bologna.

The first meeting with Lupeo was not very formal. The meeting place was chosen to be a small street cafe in Bologna.

It is said that a designer is half an artist. The fact that the design director of Lamborghini held the conversation that would decide the future of a car company in a street shop where there was no privacy at all was enough to show his casualness and arrogance.

Lupeo wears glasses and has a beard. He looks like a typical Italian man, with a high hairline and bright eyes.

After the host and guest shook hands and sat down, they began to look each other over.

After about a minute, Lupeo was the first to ask:
"Does Mr. Fang really want to buy Lamborghini?"

Fang Hexuan was a little confused by this nonsensical question. After he quickly reacted, he nodded affirmatively:

"In the past three days, my company has participated in the Paris Auto Show for the first time. If I hadn't received a call from Lorenzo, I would not have left early. You should understand my sincerity."

Although Fang Hexuan explained, Lupeo was not satisfied and insisted:

"Just tell me straight away, are you really willing to do your best to buy my company?"

Fang Hexuan nodded helplessly again, staring at the other party, and said word by word:
"I can tell you with certainty that as long as the owner of the Lamborghini wants to sell it, I am willing to show enough sincerity!"
