Chapter 608 Observatory Explosion
For two consecutive days, Jiang Bo continued to go to the Geneva Motor Show to see the car.
However, because the good car was almost wiped out on the first day of Jiangbo, I didn’t see any new and outstanding cars in the next two days.
But I ordered more than twenty more cars.
After that, Jiang Bo spent another three days strolling around the attractions near Geneva before planning to set off and return home.
On March 26, Jiang Bo sat on the hotel terrace, drinking wine, eating small barbecue, looking at the Alps in the evening and the large fountain in the middle of the lake, feeling comfortable and comfortable.
Linda and Yang Simei were already missing. After Jiang Bo made them cry that night, he sent them away.
Open the system and take a look at the consumption value, Jiang Bo murmured: "The consumption value is about 540,000 yuan, but the batch of cars is transported back to China. Although it is not used for goods, it will still pay a lot of taxes..."
Jiang Bo is a little unhappy about buying a car abroad and transporting it back to the country to pay taxes, but there is nothing he can do. If he doesn't pay the tax, he can't transport it back. There is no point in buying a car in Geneva in the slightest.
Moreover, even if you don’t come to Geneva to buy a car, you should pay less related car purchase tax when purchasing such luxury cars in China. Moreover, those types of commercial vehicles will be taxed twice, which is higher in comparison.
Therefore, as long as you want to buy such imported cars, it is impossible not to pay taxes. This makes Jiang Bo feel a strong desire to buy a car company and then move the factory to the country to build cars in China.
When talking about this, Jiang Bo asked Jian Pengfei to go to the UK in the past few days to contact the McLaren Technology Group and proposed an acquisition intention.
There are three main projects of McLaren Group, the first is McLaren's F1 team, the second is McLaren's automobile manufacturing company, and the third is McLaren's application technology company.
If you want to acquire it, three must acquire it together. Jiangbo only wants an automobile manufacturing company, but obviously McLaren Group will not release it alone.
There is great resistance to acquiring the entire group. Although it has not been listed, the equity composition of McLaren Group is not single, and there are many investment shareholders in addition to the founder.
Apple was interested in McLaren's application technology and invested in a bid to acquire the entire McLaren, but failed.
Therefore, it is very difficult for Jiang Bo to complete the acquisition of McLaren Group.
However, even if McLaren Group is willing to be acquired with wholly owned, Jiang Bo cannot afford that much money.
According to the valuation given by Ma Jingping, McLaren Group's current shareholder equity, that is, its net assets valuation, is about 20 billion to 30 billion rmb.
Jiang Bo doesn’t have that much money now, and his account balance is less than 19 billion, which is still a bit short of it.
Of course, if McLaren Group really has the chance to win it all, Jiang Bo actually doesn't mind letting Heibo to make some money and complete the acquisition, but it is impossible for him to sell it all, so this is purely a chicken-free talk.
However, according to reports from Jian Pengfei, Mercedes-Benz's parent company holds 40% of McLaren Group's shares, but for some reason, Mercedes-Benz's parent company actually intends to sell all of these shares.
McLaren Group doesn’t have that much money and can’t accept so many shares, so Mercedes-Benz’s parent company held a bidding meeting.
Jiang Bo didn't think about it. He was planning to spend money to make a fortune and asked Jian Pengfei to participate in the bidding.
As long as he can acquire this 40% stake, he can become the major shareholder of McLaren Group. Although he still cannot interfere in McLaren's administrative affairs, there is still no problem with McLaren Automobile Manufacturing Company to build a supercar for himself.
Moreover, since they have become shareholders, it is only a matter of time before they can spend money and reach the price, and take down McLaren Group.
Hey, in such capitalist countries, there is no money to deal with companies.
If you can't handle it, it only means that the bid is not enough.
So, Jiangbo is going to make a decision for this McLaren Group!
...
After dinner, the night was shrouded in the earth, and Jiang Bo took a local tablet computer and started to make news.
More than an hour passed.
Just when Jiang Bo was interested in the business introduction of an American aerospace company.
Boom!
As the ground trembled, a loud bang swept across the entire Geneva town like thunder.
Jiang Bo narrowed his eyes, frowned, and quickly threw away his tablet, got up and went to the terrace, looking to the southeast. The sound was coming from the southeast.
Because it was night, the light was dim, even if he had excellent eyesight, he could not see the situation in the distance with very little visible light.
"It seems like a gunpowder factory exploded, which is a bit similar to the meteorite hitting the ground in the outskirts of Yangcheng last year, but what exactly happened?" Jiang Bo was quite curious.
Taking out his cell phone, Jiang Bo dialed Ma Jingping's phone number.
"boss?"
"A explosion happened just now on my side. It was located in the southeast of my hotel. Check it to see if you can find anything." Jiang Bo ordered.
"clear."
Half an hour later.
Jiang Bo heard the howlings of police cars from the street outside. He looked out the window and found several police cars whizzing past the street. It seemed that he was chasing someone.
At this time, Ma Jingping returned to the phone and said, "Boss, I found it."
“What’s the situation?”
"Two minutes ago, the local official news in Geneva said that a chemical factory near Wandevl exploded, and one died and two injuries are currently injured. However, according to my hacking of their surveillance system, what I found was different."
"Don't keep it a secret, say it quickly."
Ma Jingping replied: "I specially let Black Bones 1 invade all the monitoring systems near Wandefir, and searched and compared the relevant chemical factories from their database, but found that there were no chemical factories near Wandefir.
Through big data screening and comparing the flow of people, I found that the explosion was not a chemical factory, but an observatory converted from a golf course.”
"observatory?"
"Yes, this is a new observatory, which was just completed two months ago, but according to the results of Black Bones 1 analysis, the observatory is not built.
Generally speaking, the place to build an observatory needs to be open and lack of clouds. Like the Southern Observatory in Europe, it is built in the alpine area of Chile. This is conducive to the flow of various electromagnetic waves, rays and particles in the universe to pass through the atmosphere and clouds to the ground, thereby achieving passive observation of the universe.
However, the weather in Geneva is usually cloudy and sunny, and there are very few cosmic radio waves that can reach the ground. Logically, it is impossible to choose to build an observatory here, but it is built.
Then there is only one possibility. This observatory is not used to receive electromagnetic waves from the universe, but to emit electromagnetic waves of specific frequencies and wavelengths."
"Raise electromagnetic waves?" Jiang Bo frowned: "Why was it destroyed again? The local officials have concealed the truth?"
"I can't find out this."
"I know. But this thing doesn't feel as simple as it seems..."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Bo paced in the room and couldn't help but think about the whole thing.
The observatory just built two months ago is likely to be blown up directly before the program was completed and the experiment was started.
This should not be self-destruction, but destroyed by external forces.
However, what should I do if a good observatory destroys it? Is it because I am afraid of the plot in "The Three-Body Problem"?
Jiang Bo thinks that this is not the case, because there are so many observatories in the world that can emit radio waves, and every year a large number of astronomical scientists are emitting electromagnetic waves to the universe in search of alien civilizations, and at the same time, exposing the location of the earth.
Therefore, there is no shortage of such an observatory in Geneva.
Even in the United States, Nasa has been teased many times because of the Voyager project.
But there is no sufficient evidence for the specific reason, and Jiang Bo cannot find the truth based on imagination and speculation.
Dongdong!
At this moment, the door suddenly rang.
Jiang Bo's heart tightened and asked in smooth French: "Who, is there anything?"
"Police checked the rounds, please open the door to cooperate with us to check." A man's voice came from outside the door.
