Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Chapter 867 New Car Development 8

After receiving the latest instructions from Bao Zixuan, John Chambers immediately conveyed the intention of Heiyun Motors to the US Department of Defense. Ian Wright felt incredible when he learned that Heiyun Group did not need to lower its technical standards. Of course, I did not dare to neglect and quickly reported to Defense Minister Caspar Weinberg.

Seeing that it was Ian Wright, US Defense Secretary Casper Weinberger smiled and said: "How are the several companies participating in the bidding? I am mainly worried about the black cloud. If common sense is violated, I will lift the lid. Things are not easy to handle. Bao Zixuan is still too young, has never suffered a loss, and does not know how to compromise."

No wonder he became the Secretary of Defense. His analytical and predictive abilities are truly extraordinary. It seems that I still underestimated the Minister of Defense before, but there is still a lot worth learning from him. Unconsciously, Ian Wright had begun to admire Casper Weinberg; but how did he know that Bao Zixuan's decision was not expected by the defense minister at all.

Ian Wright: "His Excellency the Minister of Defense is indeed very knowledgeable about what is going on. Black Cloud's actions are indeed incomprehensible."

Casper Weinberg was very worried when he heard that this boy Bao Zixuan was really acting unusually. After all, this young man is not only talented, but also super rich. As a lawyer, he certainly knows that money can make a difference.

If the super rich get aggressive, most people won't be able to handle it. Moreover, the minister of defense can’t work for a lifetime, but he doesn’t dare to offend everyone to death.

In addition, Bao Zixuan has huge influence around the world, which can be seen from the renovation of old military vehicles. He is a household name in the United States, and a trip to Hollywood can turn the entertainment industry upside down.

No smart person will offend such a super rich man, and Casper Weinberg is the smartest among smart people and will never do anything that goes against his own interests.

Casper Weinberg: "What's going on with Heiyun Automobile? This guy Bao Zixuan didn't do anything wrong!"

Many of Bao Zixuan's actions are very troublesome. This young man is really restless. But then again, An Fen is still a young man!

Ian Wright: "Heiyun did not ask the Ministry of National Defense to lower the technical specifications of military vehicles. They said that they have been designing according to the existing technical parameters. It will definitely not affect the use of the military, and it will definitely maximize the vehicle's performance and actual combat capabilities. "

There was actually no requirement to lower the technical indicators, even though I did not study science and engineering. But when designing military vehicle templates, many experts from the U.S. Department of Defense thought. It is difficult to do this with existing technology. Could it be that Heiyun had some secret method? Otherwise, how could he dare to directly agree to it?

Casper Weinberg: "Have you confirmed it? Heiyun really doesn't need to adjust the technical indicators. What does Bao Zixuan mean?"

Ian Wright is also confused. Regarding the technical standards for military vehicles, they are basically formulated by experts organized by him. In order to confuse the Soviet Union, but also to make Bao Zixuan retreat. Deliberately increased technical difficulty,

Judging from the current technology, some problems cannot be solved at all. Among them, the expert group believes that auxiliary power systems should not be even considered before battery technology achieves revolutionary breakthroughs.

Now Bao Zixuan actually dares to take over this responsibility. Is this kid crazy? It still needs to be investigated carefully, at least there should be no mistakes.

The Ministry of National Defense is also worried that military vehicle orders may not be given to Ford and General Motors in good faith. It is not easy for them to explain. After all, the benefits have been obtained, and it will become very embarrassing by then. But I am also worried that Heiyun Automobile will be too far ahead and it will not end well.

Ian Wright: "Heiyun Group has sent a formal document, stating that it will strictly implement it in accordance with the technical standards set by the Ministry of National Defense. The design has already begun, and the attitude is very determined."

"After receiving the official letter, I personally confirmed it with John Chambers, President of Heiyun Motors. After receiving a positive answer from the other party, I came to report to you."

"Things are a little abnormal. Bao Zixuan is very smart and does not fight uncertainties. Although I have consulted many experts, I am still a little worried. What if Heiyun Group makes a technological breakthrough and we don't know about it. We will wait until the bidding Sometimes, you will be very passive.”

I can’t completely believe what the experts say, even though they are leaders in their respective fields. But sometimes, being too proud and looking down on others will delay things.

Casper Weinberg: "Inquire with various parties to understand the latest technological development. At the same time, send someone to investigate. The situation of Heiyun Automobile must be clear."

"Bao Zixuan is a young man who is not simple and should not be taken lightly. Moreover, he is very willing to spend money on technology research and development. It is difficult for Ford and General Motors to count on him, otherwise they would not have been beaten so badly in the civilian car market."

"What is the purpose of replacing the military vehicle? You must not make a wedding dress for Heiyun."

"At the same time, go to General Motors and Ford in person and tell them something about Black Cloud. Don't always think about getting benefits. The Ministry of National Defense is under a lot of pressure."

"At the same time, let them work more on technology, at least it cannot be much worse than Heiyun. Otherwise, it will be difficult for everyone to explain, and the officers and soldiers of the army will also be dissatisfied with the decision-making of the Ministry of National Defense."

Ian Wright knew that Defense Secretary Casper Weinberg had expressed dissatisfaction with GM and Ford. It seems that we really need to give a try to the two companies. It is not the moment when everything is fine, and we need to show some real skills.

We will definitely not slack off on the tasks assigned by the Minister of Defense personally. Ian Wright came to Detroit with a strong purpose.

For Ian Wright's arrival, General Motors and Ford Motors gave a high-level reception. Henry Ford II and MacDonald personally went to the airport to greet him as a sign of their importance.

After arriving at the hospitality department under the U.S. Department of Defense, Ian Wright looked at Ford II and Mike Donald and said: "You two should have guessed why I came here. Minister Weinberg was very concerned about the previous research and development progress of the two companies. I’m not satisfied, and I hope you two will take it seriously, after all, anything can happen before the prototype vehicle passes.”

When Henry Ford II was present, it was difficult for ordinary people to speak first. The old guy's status in the American automobile industry is really unmatched.

Unsatisfactory progress is just an excuse, there may be other problems. Otherwise, as Ian Wright, it would be impossible for him to go there in person for such a trivial matter.

Henry Ford II: "Regarding the progress of research and development, please rest assured General Ian Wright. Ford has organized elite troops and strong generals to attack the difficulties with all their strength, and the replacement of new military vehicles will not be delayed."

"It's just that many technologies are not very mature yet, and I don't know what the Ministry of Defense's opinions are."

In the past, people below were communicating, and it was impossible for Henry Ford II to come forward easily. Now that Ian Wright is here in person, there is no need to hide it.

Hearing that Henry Ford II wanted to lower technical standards, Ian Wright felt that the old man was getting older and going back to life. It seemed that Ford no longer had the spirit of exploration that he had when he started his business. They are all managed by a group of young people who do not know how to work hard and specialize in technology.

But having said that, many design concepts and technical indicators are indeed too advanced. But these words should not have come from the mouth of Henry Ford II. It would be a disgrace to the entire Ford family.

As a flag of American industry, Ford Motor should never aim to lower technical standards.

This can't be entirely blamed on Henry Ford II, he was just annoyed by his engineers. And it happened that the person in charge of R\u0026D was his youngest son, so he decided to wait for Ian Wright to come over and ask what was going on.

Ian Wright did not answer directly, but looked at Mac Donald and said: "Do you have any different opinions on the GM side?"

What does this kid mean? At this time, MacDonald is very suspicious that Ian Lai has special intentions. Could it be that they don’t want General Motors to participate in the transition, or that they want to stand up for Ford?

But no matter what, for now, we still have to follow Henry Ford II. Let's see if Ian Wright has been bought by Ford and wants to take advantage of General Motors.

Macdonald: "The same is true for general purposes. Many design indicators are too advanced. Even if the cost is increased, it will be difficult to solve the problem. Before there is a breakthrough in related technologies, it will be difficult to meet the requirements of the Department of Defense."

The words were very reserved, but the meaning was clearly expressed. GM and Ford share the same interests and have equivalent technologies. If the Department of Defense disagrees, there is nothing they can do.

Although there is suspicion that there is an affair between Henry Ford II and Ian Wright, no evidence has been found, or it has not harmed GM's interests. It is best for everyone to just pretend that nothing happened.
