reborn industrial empire

Around mid-September, Thunderbird basically stopped operating in the U.S. financial market and European financial market. It was not because they did not want to make money, but because under the influence of a series of serious financial crises, governments around the world,

In particular, governments in Europe and the United States have stepped up monitoring of their own financial markets.

Governments of various countries have injected a lot of funds into their own banks and large investment institutions, and no one wants this money to be robbed by those financial hot money.

Furthermore, even if the country's bankers and investors fight with each other, in the end the meat will rot in the pot instead of being snatched away by others.

Therefore, governments around the world, especially the United States, can be said to be particularly strict in monitoring their own financial markets. After the panic in the initial stage of the financial crisis, governments around the world have successively introduced some strict control policies.

With the flow of funds in mind, we will carry out a very severe crackdown on those hot money who wantonly sell short.

Of course, these attacks are only aimed at external hot money. For large power groups such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan, which have close relations with the US government, they of course choose to turn a blind eye and adopt an appeasement policy.

The same is true for European countries. They have very strict management of external hot money, and generally choose to turn a blind eye to the actions of some domestic consortiums that are closely related to the government.

This made it very difficult to catch the trend in the market, so Jin Xiaoqiang chose to stop at the moment and rest for a while before taking another look.

The employees of Thunderbird Company once again received generous red envelopes, but this time the distribution of red envelopes was very different. Money was no longer directly transferred to everyone's account as before.

Instead, many people have opened overseas accounts, and these accounts are generally located in places with financial loopholes in the world such as Panama or the Cayman Islands.

The reason why we chose this place is firstly to facilitate tax evasion, and secondly to avoid attracting the attention of the US financial authorities. After all, Wall Street has become the most hated place in the hearts of the American people.

The dividend status of major companies must be reported, and if it is leaked by the media, everyone will have to live with it.

Just like AIG back then, a company as big as AIG was disgraced in the end after its huge dividends at the end of the year were exposed?

What's more, Thunderbird is a company with a very mysterious investment background. If the all-pervasive American reporters pay attention to it, find out the investor Jin Xiaoqiang, and expose their substantial short selling of the United States, then

But that's not good.

I'm afraid that even if the U.S. government doesn't want to take care of it, it will have to find various excuses to get the money back to you.

Therefore, Jin Xiaoqiang did not choose to put the funds finally obtained from this speculation in the United States. Instead, he chose relatively safe European places such as Switzerland, Monaco, and Oceania.

Employees are also aware of the company's repeated warnings to keep the company's operating conditions confidential after leaving the company. If there is a fool who wants to challenge authority, the consequences he will face will be disastrous.

But how can anyone who can survive on Wall Street be stupid? Especially in this day and age.

These overachievers all understand what the world is like now. Once you lose your job, it may be difficult to find a job, especially a high-paying job like today.

And what's the point of going against the company and leaking secrets everywhere? Not to mention the possibility that you won't receive bonuses or anything else, you may even lose your life. No one is willing to do such a stupid thing.

It's not easy to do business in the financial market right now, so it's a good idea to take some time off.

The employees of Thunderbird happily took their bonuses and went away for a while, and the company's headquarters became quiet again. However, Jin Xiaoqiang was not in a hurry to leave the United States. He still had many things to deal with.

First he went to New Jersey, where Nick Reilly and Mark Fields were waiting for him. As early as the Detroit Auto Show at the beginning of last year, Jin Xiaoqiang recruited these two people under his command.

After Nick Reilly and Mark Fields joined Huayang Power, they first went to China for a while, where they got familiar with the general situation of the company and the work process at the headquarters of Huayang Power.

I spent a few months there in a low-key manner, and then I was sent to Europe, where I was quietly appointed as the European Regional Sales Director of Huayang Power.

Nick, as the general manager of the European region, and Mark, as his deputy, quietly took root in Huayang Power in Europe. Both of them have experience working in Europe. And in Europe, especially in the automobile industry

It can be said that they have a wide range of connections in this industry, so their work goes smoothly.

In particular, there were times when Germany and France were worried that Huayang Power's expansion would harm their own automobile industries because of Huayang Power's rapid expansion in Europe, and they planned to propose some sanctions agreements to the European Parliament.

It was these two people who took turns to deal with their European friends. In the end, the proposals that were not conducive to Huayang Dynamics were not submitted successfully.

At the end of last year, Nick was sent to Australia for a period of time. After all, it was the place where he became famous and he was relatively familiar with it.

Nick also performed well in Australia and achieved good results. Under his leadership, Huayang Power quickly established a new company there and took root.

Not long ago, Nick Reilly received a call from Jin Xiaoqiang, asking him and Mark to return to the United States together. They had something to discuss, so the two of them returned to the United States one after another.

The meeting place was still at Nick's castle in New Jersey. The world outside is very bad now, but sitting in Nick's castle, you won't feel the depression outside.

In the past two years, this kid not only asked GM for a large sum of money to settle in before leaving, but also received a high salary from Huayang Power, so his quality of life has not been greatly affected.

"Okay! You two, what do you think of the impact of this financial crisis on the U.S. auto industry?"

After the initial greetings, Jin Xiaoqiang started to get straight to the point.

"It's very big. I guess they are in trouble this time."

Nick, who has been working at GM for almost his whole life, can be said to be very familiar with GM. Now that the financial crisis in the United States is so severe, how can General Motors, which is already struggling to operate, have an easy life?

When Mark heard this, his expression became serious. He had been working for Ford for half his life. Although Ford was finally mentioned as a scapegoat, he still had great feelings for Ford.

Now seeing his old club going through such a disaster, he felt very uncomfortable.

Facts have proved that his sacrifice was a bit unworthy. Although he helped Ford complete the final reform within the system, the results were still not very optimistic. Moreover, just after the reform was completed, he encountered another financial crisis that had not been seen in a century. It is estimated that this time

Ford may be in trouble.

"GM has been losing money for several years in a row, and the amount of losses is getting bigger and bigger. They could survive with the support of Wall Street before, but now Wall Street is finished, and they will not be able to survive for long with their cash flow cut off. I estimate that they will not be able to survive for long next year.

It is possible to declare bankruptcy.,"

Nick is really very familiar with GM's situation. This financial crisis is so big that it seems difficult for GM to survive it.

Although GM has experienced many financial crises before, none has been as serious as this one, and GM's products are becoming increasingly uncompetitive in the market. According to the current situation, it will be difficult for them to survive.

"Ford's situation is probably not much better, but if they can unite together, life may be a little better. It's not particularly pessimistic."

Mark has worked for Ford for twenty years and knows the Ford family business very well. He knows that if the members of the Ford family unite this time, their lives may not be particularly difficult.

After all, this family has been operating in the United States for hundreds of years. Even if many people are mediocre, it is enough to have a few outstanding talents who can lead everyone out of the crisis.

Although the vampires on Wall Street will definitely not inject funds into the company this time, as long as the Ford family unites, life may be better.

"Okay, let's get down to something practical. Mark, I hope you can go to Ford and ask them if they have any intention of selling the companies they hold."

Jin Xiaoqiang went straight to the point. He had asked Mark to talk to Ford before, but at that time Ford was not at the end of its rope, so he was not willing to let go of the good cards in his hand. Even if he wanted to let go, he still wanted to strike a deal.

Come out at a high price.

But things are different now. In today's era of tight money and cash is king, whoever has cash in hand is the boss. Jin Xiaoqiang doesn't believe that Ford can still be tough in front of him at this time.

Mark opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. It's about eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor. Now he is no longer an employee of Ford, but an employee of Huayang Power, so of course he has to listen.

The boss’s arrangement.

It is not something he can do, and the Volvo, Land Rover, and Jaguar brands owned by Ford are indeed in poor operating conditions and have become negative assets. Use these scraps of scrap metal to exchange for some money.

Not bad for Ford, either.

"Remember, I mainly want Land Rover, and I'm not very interested in Mazda!" (To be continued...)
