rebirth against the times

The team of nearly 100 people brought by Hans quickly penetrated into various departments of General Motors. In the afternoon, Hans and Mark, accompanied by senior General Motors personnel, went non-stop to inspect the operation of each department one by one.

In the evening, Hans and Mark reported the inspection situation to Bai Shuo.

Hans found that the bloat within General Motors was beyond his imagination, and thought that cutting 30% of the senior staff might still be too few. Hans even felt that even if half of the people were laid off, General Motors would still be able to operate as usual.

Bai Shuo cheerfully told Hans not to think about getting it done in one step. This restructuring has been a big enough shock to General Motors. In some less important areas, especially on human issues, it is still necessary to boil the frog in warm water.

of.

Finally, Bai Shuo told Hans that while understanding the shortcomings that need to be eradicated, he should also pay more attention to the valuable things of General Motors. The first is talent and the second is technology. This is the foundation for GM's future rise.

The next day, while continuing to inspect GM, Hans held talks with a number of technical experts in accordance with Bai Shuo's opinions, and conducted in-depth discussions on GM's current technological innovation issues and the future development direction of the automotive field.

Then Hans came to General Motors' core technology department. During the inspection, Hans asked many questions about automobile manufacturing technology. At this time, a technical director invited Hans to come to a computer and open the computer

The database showed Hans the changes in GM's classic models and its core technologies throughout the generations.

Following the introduction by the technical director, Hans discovered that the computer also stored GM's latest and most cutting-edge technical information, and even many technical topics that were under development.

When he saw the information on hydrogen energy technology, Hans couldn't bear it anymore as if he had discovered a treasure. He took a few photos with his mobile phone and sent them to Bai Shuo. "Hey, Bai, look, this is what you often see."

Are you talking about new energy vehicles?"

Bai Shuo saw the MMS on his mobile phone and immediately called Hans.

When Bai Shuo found out that Hans was in GM's technical department and was reviewing GM's core technical information, he was overjoyed.

Bai Shuo knows that there has always been a concept when buying cars in China, that is, domestically produced cars are not as good as joint ventures, and joint ventures are not as good as imported ones. In addition to the control of workers, infrastructure and other reasons, the most critical reason is that the technology used abroad is far away.

Much higher than domestically. Although joint venture cars also incorporate many advanced foreign technologies, the most core and cutting-edge technologies will still not be brought to China without reservation. Therefore, if you want to buy the best car, you have to import it.

.

Bai Shuo suddenly thought that now that he has won General Motors, the most meaningful thing is to transfer General Motors' core technology to China as soon as possible without reservation, and apply it to various manufacturing plants in China, ultimately improving the overall automobile manufacturing in China.

techinque level.

So Hans was immediately instructed to transfer these cutting-edge technologies to GM's manufacturing plants in China, so that factories in China could produce GM's highest-quality cars.

After receiving the instruction, Hans immediately arranged for technicians to make a copy of all the data, and prepared to have his technicians analyze and demonstrate the data. If it was really as valuable as Bai Shuo expected, he would arrange for someone to transport the technical data back to China as soon as possible.

's factory.

Seeing what Hans was doing, several GM executives accompanying him immediately stood up and stopped him.

"Mr. Hans, these are the most precious and confidential information of General Motors. How can you back it up just because you want to back it up, and then decide so easily to apply it to factories in China? This must at least go through company-level decision-making.

Fine."

Hans smiled and said: "Gentlemen, I think you should understand two points. First, the company's future development focus will gradually shift to China and will allocate the best resources to China, which naturally includes funds.

Talents and top technology are the company’s strategic needs..."

"But……"

Before the other party could speak, Hans said more forcefully: "Second, according to the agreement, we will own 67% of the shares of the reorganized company and have absolute power over the company's decision-making, and now the highest decision-making power of the entire General Motors is temporarily

I will be responsible for exercising it. Do you have any other opinions?"

Hearing what Hans said, everyone realized that they are the boss now and they are just a wage earner. Moreover, after the reorganization, their fate is still in their hands. What else is there to say?

However, another more stubborn senior staff member was still a little unconvinced and said: "Mr. Hans, no matter what you do, it is against the rules. I am responsible for these technical data, and I will not agree to what you do."

Hans glanced at this person strangely, smiled contemptuously and said, "Oh, so you are the person in charge here... Well, I think maybe from this second on, you are no longer."

After saying that, Hans turned back to look at the other staff in the department and said sternly: "Does anyone have any opinions?"

"No."

"We will carry out your instructions immediately..."

Everyone got busy and immediately started copying the data according to Hans' instructions.

After a while, a hard drive full of data was handed over to the technicians brought by Hans.

After further confirming the information, Hans immediately called Bai Shuo: "Bai Shuo, you have a good vision. I have just asked our technicians to evaluate the information. This thing is said to be worth half of General Motors."

It’s not an exaggeration…”

Bai Shuo naturally knew that Hans's words were somewhat exaggerated. A big reason for GM's decline was that it began to fall behind in technology, especially in the research and development and utilization of new energy sources. It gave up halfway and failed to persist. But in general, GM

Compared with China, its technology is still far ahead.

However, even if the technical information is available, it may not be fully applied in practice. To create a good car, there are many factors involved.

Bai Shuo praised Hans and asked him to find a few more automobile manufacturing experts and send them to China to guide the production and manufacturing of various factories.

Hans said depressingly: "Okay, today I feel like I have been a 'thief' in an upright manner, and I will be a human trafficker for you again tomorrow..."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Shuo breathed a long sigh of relief. As soon as he got to work, he called Zhu Zhu, Cao An, Zhong Pengcheng and Yao Tao, who were familiar with automobile technology.

When they heard that Hans had taken over General Motors and was preparing to transfer all of General Motors' core technologies and talents to China, both Zhu Zi and Yao Tao were very excited and asked to follow Bai Shuo to the United States this time.

General Motors did some research.

Zhu Zhu felt that he had been busy for so long and now he finally got something valuable. The next step was to prepare to hollow out General Motors' old foundation and deliver all its core things back.

After hearing Zhu Zhu's idea, Bai Shuo immediately smiled and said: "Comrade Zhu Zhu, the situation is too small...Although General Motors is nominally an American company, it is already ours. Why are you emptying its money?"

?How can anyone pay for their own money?"

Zhuzi laughed and said that he had not fully accepted the fact that General Motors was already his own company. But no matter what, the General brand cars produced in China in the future must be better than those produced in the United States...

After everyone was happy for a while, Bai Shuo began to make subsequent preparations.

"Let Cao An go to the United States with me in two days. You all have more important things to do at home."

Although everyone was a little disappointed that they couldn't go to the United States, they all cheered up when they heard that there were more important things.

Bai Shuo first said to Zhu Zhu: "Zhu Zhu, you and William will first inspect General Motors' business in China. When things in the United States are almost settled, you will be responsible for initiating the rectification of the business in China."

Hearing that such an important thing had been arranged for him, Zhu Zhu immediately agreed with joy.

Bai Shuo continued: "Yao Tao, you should immediately start integrating the companies related to auto parts and automobile manufacturing that we acquired before.

Yao Tao: "Okay, don't worry. Those companies have gone through preliminary rectifications and there are no major problems now. I will start the integration tomorrow."

Bai Shuo looked at Zhong Pengcheng again: "The two automobile manufacturing companies under FAW Group and China Automobile Group that are ready to be sold have been in contact for a long time. Let's take them together this time. You, Pengcheng, will be responsible for this."

Zhong Pengcheng smiled slightly and said: "Making such a big noise? Are you planning to merge all these companies into General Motors in the future or to have in-depth cooperation with General Motors in another way?"

Bai Shuo thought for a while: "I haven't thought about it in detail yet, but let's make preliminary preparations first. Consolidate these scattered enterprises into an automobile group company, and then consider it after the reorganization of General Motors is completed in a few months."

After arranging these things, Bai Shuo found Liang Ying, Dong Wenkai, Li Fei, Xiao Lin and others. He told them that he would go to the United States soon and would not return until GM's reorganization was completed, which was estimated to take at least two months.

As for the planning of the new city, they are responsible for promoting it.

Later in the day, Bai Shuo called Cao An, Anna, and Zhao Yong, asking everyone to prepare as soon as possible, and rushed to the United States again two days later.

Just after everything was arranged, Bai Shuo suddenly received a mysterious phone call at night.

The caller didn't say who he was, and he didn't even ask who the person connected to the phone was. He just told Bai Shuo a very important thing very briefly and hung up the phone in a hurry.

It only took more than ten seconds, but this call completely disrupted Bai Shuo's arrangements and changed the direction of the entire incident.
