Other members of the Ford family know that things decided by Henry Ford II cannot be changed. Praying for the success of the cooperation is one aspect, but there is also an evil side in their hearts. If they cooperate with General Motors, Ford still has not been fundamentally changed. Then

They would have a reason to force her to have a baby, and other members of the family would not say anything.

Regardless of whether the cooperation succeeds or fails! Other members of the Ford family have vested interests, which is one of the reasons why they did not raise any objections at this time.

At this time, both the GM board of directors and the Ford family have reached a cooperation resolution. It depends on how the two parties negotiate. After all, the cooperation between the two companies involves too much profit distribution. And based on the grudges between the two companies, no one will take the initiative to give in.

It will be a difficult process.

After MacDonald finished the phone call with Henry Ford, they came to a private club. Both of them were influential figures in Detroit, and many people knew them, and neither wanted to cause trouble before the negotiations reached a conclusion.

Macdonald knew that although General Motors was slightly stronger at this time, it was not only the size of the company, but also the main reason was that General Motors' operating rate was higher.

But compared with Ford II, he was a weaker party. Henry Ford II could make any decision on behalf of Ford Motor Company, but he did not dare to make the final decision.

Although it has been authorized by the board of directors, some things should not be overdone. A balance must be achieved to satisfy Henry Ford II without losing GM's core interests. This balance is difficult to control.

Macdonald came over early to meet at the meeting place and was waiting. Although he felt unhappy, there was nothing he could do about it. Ford II was the boss, and he was just a senior manager.

Seeing Ford II coming, he quickly stood up and said: "Hello, Mr. Ford, long time no see, you are still as charming as ever!"

Henry Ford II was not surprised at all that MacDonald could come and wait in advance. This is Detroit, and in a sense, he is the king of Detroit.

Detroit is a very special existence in the United States. The government employees here are more like nannies. Because whether it is General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, or the newly emerging Black Cloud Motors, they all have a huge number of workers. For American civil servants,

Said, this is just one vote after another, and even the president dare not ignore the huge number of votes from Detroit Motor Company.

Ford Motor Company has more than 200,000 workers, in the United States alone. More than Black Cloud and General Motors. This was the confidence of Henry Ford II.

Although the strength of the labor unions in the automobile industry cannot be underestimated, they still have to decide who they want to fight against. In front of major manufacturers such as General Motors and Ford, the automobile labor unions will be more restrained. If Ford and GM are angered, even the automobile labor unions will not have an easy time.

The Detroit mayoral election is more of a game among the major automobile shopping malls; and similar to Ford, General Motors and other automobile manufacturers, it doesn't matter even if you choose the wrong candidate; as long as smart people do not dare to take any drastic measures against these major manufacturers.

Henry Ford II smiled and said: "Mike, please don't say that. I often can't sleep recently. As we get older, many things are not as good as those of you young people. In terms of energy alone, they are far behind."

Ford II grew up in a business family and took over the company at the age of 28. He has never heard any kind of compliments or seen any kind of people. He has studied business politeness very thoroughly.

MacDonald smiled and said: "Mr. Ford, please don't say that. You are not old at all. The American automobile industry still needs the Ford family, and the major automakers in Detroit still count on Mr. Ford to lead."

Henry Ford II is only over 60 years old this year, so age is not a problem at all. And MacDonald is not stupid. You can't really think that someone is old just because he says he is old.

Sure enough, Henry Ford II was very happy when he heard Mac Donald say this. Even though he knew what the other person said was very inaccurate, he was still very happy in his heart.

Henry Ford II smiled and said: "Thank you Mike for your approval, but please don't say that in the future, otherwise it will cause misunderstanding."

"You must know what this meeting is about. What are your thoughts and opinions on the Ministry of Commerce's conclusion of the antitrust investigation against Heiyun Group."

The polite words have been said, and now it’s time to get down to business.

MacDonald knew that Ford II wanted GM to take a stand first, but there was nothing he could do about it. Who gave Ford II a transcendent status in the American automobile industry? At least no one at GM could match him.

As a CEO, I am still weaker in front of others, but the GM founder family has been eliminated! At present, we can only stick to the top, and no one can afford to lose the chain at this time.

Mac Donald: "This investigation of Heiyun Group by the Commerce Department has affected Heiyun Motors to a certain extent. Taking advantage of this opportunity, General Motors' market has picked up a bit. But who would have thought that the Commerce Department would actually

To end the investigation so quickly, you must know that it took IBM 10 years to end the antitrust investigation, so why did the black cloud's turn become so fast?"

The U.S. Commerce Department has a brilliant record in history. The Rockefeller family's Standard Oil Company was forced to split into more than 30 companies. You must know that this is one of the most powerful families in the United States, and they cannot resist the Commerce Department.

The anti-monopoly investigation demonstrates the intensity of the anti-monopoly investigation.

The Watson family's IBM simply failed to catch up with the dividends of personal computers and wasted 10 years in vain.

You must know that at that time, more than half of the world's top computer experts worked at IBM. This was their strength.

Why is it that when it is Heiyun Group's turn, there is loud thunder but little rain? Could it be that the Ministry of Commerce only engages its own people, while outsiders come to the United States to build companies, leaving them at a loss.

Everyone knows that Heiyun Group is fundamentally different from Standard Oil and IBM. At least in terms of market share, it lags far behind the two companies. It's just that Bao Zixuan's development speed is too fast, and its coverage is very wide. People

It feels like all walks of life cannot avoid Heiyun Group. In fact, Heiyun's various subsidiaries do not constitute a monopoly in the market at all.

None of these competing companies want to admit that the Heiyun Group has blocked their way of making money and left everyone with no food to eat!

Henry Ford II: "The whole world knows this. I just want to hear how GM wants to deal with it."

Indeed, as Ford II said, the U.S. Department of Commerce's antitrust investigation into Heiyun Group has ended. Now the whole world knows it; there is no need to pluralize the CEO of General Motors here. At present, he is most concerned about the future response, and it is impossible to do anything.

If you don’t do it, just eat and wait to die!

MacDonald also knew that if he didn’t say something or take a stand, Henry Ford II would definitely not let him go easily. So he said: “The end of the Commerce Department’s antitrust investigation into Heiyun Group means that in the next few years

The obstacles to the development of Time Heiyun Group have been removed. At least the obstacles from the US government are gone, or can be said to be ignored."

"Coupled with Heiyun Auto's technological advantages, GM and Ford will not have an easy time. Therefore, the two companies must work closely to prevent Heiyun Auto from taking advantage of the domestic market in the United States."

You can say what you say, the key is how to do it.

Henry Ford II: "How can we cooperate now and how can the two companies seize the market? We can't just talk with words, we must take practical actions."

Macdonald knew that he couldn't escape, and he would definitely need GM to take a stand first. So he said: "GM's initial plan is to combine the technical advantages of our two companies to redesign a car."

"General Motors has technical advantages in appearance design, while Ford has technical advantages in gearboxes and engines. Therefore, we can combine the technical advantages of our two companies to redesign a cost-effective car."

"The price of this car must be lower than similar products from Heiyun. If the price is too high, the number of consumers will definitely decrease accordingly. Our two companies must first increase the operating rate and keep workers occupied. This is the top priority."

Of course, Ford II knows that it needs to solve the problem of operating rates, but it is impossible to start operations just when you say it will. Everything needs a process. If there is no sales, then there will be no operations. How can it be done and stored as inventory?

Henry Ford II: "It is true that the problem of starting construction must be solved first; otherwise, how can we support so many workers. But the price is lower than similar products of Heiyun, which is difficult to achieve; after all, Heiyun Automobile still has many cost advantages.

"

Just know that this old boy doesn't understand what's going on. Maybe Ford II, the third generation of the super rich, doesn't even bother to do this. The bad guys still want him to do it, which is also MacDonald's helplessness.
