Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

When talking about Detroit, we have to talk about the American automobile manufacturing industry. As a country on wheels, the American automobile industry was once the most developed in the world, and Detroit is the fourth largest automobile manufacturer in the United States and even the fourth largest automobile manufacturer in the world.

It is the headquarters of Ford, General Motors, Chrysler and American automakers.

However, this city rose because of the automobile, and also declined with the decline of the automobile. Especially since the oil crisis caused by the automobile oil embargo in 1973, the city has directly entered a cold winter and has not yet recovered.

It even made everyone in the four major automobile manufacturers feel in danger and almost went bankrupt. Until now, although General Motors appeared to be crazy, it actually knew that it was suffering. Then in 2009, it was finally difficult to recover and had no choice but to go bankrupt and reorganize.

However, GM, which had survived the previous oil crisis in recent years, was doing pretty well. After all, it was not just a car company that was suffering, but all car companies.

A few years ago, in 1995, GM's vehicle sales outside the North American market reached 3 million vehicles, which allowed him to take a step ahead in laying a solid foundation for the entire layout.

But for now, neither Ford, GM, nor Chrysler are having a hard time. As for America, it has fallen into the dust of history.

The impact of Japanese and Korean cars, the offensive of German cars, and the eager eye of the French automobile industry. In terms of household cars, American auto companies have no advantage in front of the car companies of these countries.

In terms of high-end sports cars, they are outnumbered by several Italian sports car companies and have no successful results at all. Therefore, let alone the international arena, even American cars are losing ground.

Such profits were constantly being plundered and progress led to poor profits for the company. Then the company stopped adding jobs and instead laid off employees, which further depressed Detroit's economy. This vicious cycle continued until the entire city filed for bankruptcy.

However, after a while, the United States took advantage of its influence as the world's number one superpower in the eyes of the Chinese, and the automobile companies returned a wave of blood in China and barely managed to survive.

But compared with its previous glory, it is still outnumbered by Japanese, German and even Korean cars. Yang Dongxu’s goal of coming to Detroit this time is to poach people.

In fact, it cannot be regarded as poaching, because in this automobile capital with extremely high unemployment rate, even if you pick up someone on the street, they may be a skilled worker in the automobile production line, or even an automobile engineer or something.

Technicians. These people are almost everywhere in the streets of Detroit. After all, almost everyone in Detroit used to serve automobile companies.

Yang Dongxu's target is these automotive engineers, and in addition to these automotive engineers, there are also some production lines. Of course, these top production lines will certainly not be sold by these automotive companies, but if the eliminated production lines can find a suitable opportunity, they can be acquired at a fire sale price.

Still a good deal.

Although these production lines have been eliminated, they are still quite advanced for the country. It's just that some major automobile countries look down upon them. If we don't mention them, they will really be eliminated and turned into garbage.

As for such a production line, whether it is Germany, Japan, South Korea, or France, their own industrial development is very high-level, and they also have their own advanced automobile production lines that they simply look down upon.

Those small companies that are interested can't afford such a car production line, so Yang Dongxu has the opportunity to pick it up. But if you come to buy it, you will definitely get ripped off. I don't know when I met the Chinese businessman.

It has become the unspoken rule of these foreign companies to directly kill them.

Therefore, after Yang Dongxu arrived in Detroit, he did not terminate the relationship with Daji Automobile Company. Instead, he first contacted Dave Bean, the owner of Dave Steel Company.

This person was not introduced by Zhou Ya, but was a friend of Derek. If Derek, a guy who wasted his talent, had not retired due to injury, he would not have made much money from the pension contract in the next few years. But he could still work in

The reason why life is very free after retirement.

To a large extent, it depends on the successful businessman Dave Bing, a former NBA point guard who was elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1990 and one of the top 50 NBA stars in 1996.

This guy was a good player in his career, and his business took off after he retired. When the American automobile company was under attack from foreign automobile companies, he devoted himself to automobile steel plate manufacturing and stamping. He only had an old cutting machine donated by General Motors.

The machine starts.

It has become the 10th largest black-owned company in the United States, with annual profits reaching more than 200 million U.S. dollars. His business skills are much better than his ability to play basketball.

"Yang?" When he arrived in Detroit, he saw an old black man, Yang Dongxu, looking at an old car. He was stunned for a moment. He didn't react until the other person greeted him with a surprised look on his face.

"Dave?"

"It's me." Dave Bing nodded.

"I'm sorry, your appearance... I didn't recognize you just now." Yang Dongxu stretched out his hand to shake the other person's hand in embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter, because I was busy at the company just now, so I remembered that I forgot to change my clothes when I came to pick you up. I should be rude. But your style also surprised me. Derek didn't say that his friend

Very rich." Dave said half-jokingly.

He was indeed dressed a bit sloppily. Not to mention his work clothes, there was a lot of oil stains on them. If he was holding a wrench, everyone would probably think that he had just gotten out from under the old Ford car behind him.

Get out.

"It seems that Derek wants to give you a surprise. My car is here. You drive in front and I will follow behind. Find a place and let's have a drink. I specially brought you several varieties of liquor from China.

I hope you like it." Yang Dongxu smiled and gestured to the suitcase next to him.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Haha, it is indeed a great gift." Dave smiled and nodded, without saying anything, he got into his car and drove the way.

. He and Derek are both greedy for drink, and naturally they like wine the most.

Yang Dongxu and his party got into the back of three Mercedes-Benz cars, but the logo of the three-liang Mercedes-Benz cars he made was not that of a Mercedes-Benz, but a Maserati Trident.

As a high-end car built in China, Daben's cabins are also very popular abroad, and it has overseas production lines. Masati is also among the large number of foreign car companies that are currently impacting the U.S. auto market.

However, compared to the comprehensive invasion of other companies, Maserati is taking a high-end route. Whether it is a business car or a sports car, it is not within the reach of ordinary people.

Jie Chengwu and Yang Dongxu got into a car, and a few strong bodyguards behind them, half white and half black, got into the other two cars. Then his car walked in the middle, and the other two cars drove him one by one, one by one.

Protect in the middle.

In fact, it was not that Yang Dongxu wanted to impress Dave Bing in a grand manner. He was already a boss with an annual turnover of several hundred million yuan. If a few cars couldn't scare him, he might as well drive a fighter jet.

The reason why I have so many bodyguards around me is because Detroit is so chaotic now. This city, which has been gradually occupied by black people, is one of the most chaotic cities in the United States. You may be involved in thieves, robberies, thefts, rapes or even murders on the streets.

When I sat down to have a cup of coffee in a nearby cafe, someone robbed the cashier with a gun.

When the law and order was at its worst, many cars passing through the city would not even dare to stop except at red lights. When someone stopped a car, he would never stop and ask what the other person was doing, but just hit the accelerator and hit him directly.

That's why he brought a lot of bodyguards with him on this trip. Otherwise, not only would Jie Chengwu be worried, he himself wouldn't be worried either. After all, the United States is a country filled with guns.

Dave Bing led the way and didn't drive for long, or they didn't enter the city at all. Since the major automobile companies moved out of Detroit, the city has become the messiest and worst place, while the suburbs are relatively safe and prosperous.

Some various estates. And they stopped at a mid-range restaurant that looked pretty good.

"I'm a little hungry. The burgers in this store taste very good. Do you want some?" Dave Bing drove the car into the parking lot and said, but when he saw a group of burly men coming down with Yang Dongxu: "Yes.

"What do you want to eat? I'll go in and bring you some. Can we go somewhere else to talk?"

To be honest, Dave Bean is a little cold to Yang Dongxu. Who is showing off to you in the United States with a Chinese face that is always easy to bully and a group of bodyguards? If it weren’t for the fact that he and Derek had a really good relationship, they would have been there long ago.

He turned around and left. He didn't want to do the business of such a pretentious guy.

"Let's go in and eat. I'm hungry too. The airplane food is really not that good." Yang Dongxu said with a smile, and then turned his head to signal to Ji Chengwu.

Jin Chengwei waved his hand and followed Yang Dongxu personally, while the white and black bodyguards got in the car again. They had headsets on their ears. If anything happened in the restaurant, they would be notified immediately and rush in.

Walking side by side with Dave, this old black man who was once an NBA professional player was no bigger than him. They walked into a burger restaurant and lined up to buy goodies and found an empty seat to sit down.

"Let me reintroduce you, Yang Dongxu, the owner of the 76ers team. I don't think Derek told you about this surprise."

After sitting down, I took my hamburger and prepared to eat. I decided that no matter what the Chinese guy in front of me said, I would deal with it and leave directly. Then I would call Derek, an unreliable guy, and ask him to stop introducing these things in the future and only know how to understand.

The pushy young man who knew Dave was stunned for a moment when he heard Yang Dongxu.

He even forgot to bite the opened burger, and then the burger in his hand fell back onto his plate with a clatter, "Who do you think you are?"

"Yang Dongxu, the owner of the 76ers team and Derek's owner," he said with a smile, then glanced at the man sitting at the table next to him and said sincerely, "I heard that Detroit was in chaos before I came here.

Chinese Americans seem to be easy targets for bullying in the eyes of Americans, so..."
