Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth

Henry Ford II had been used to a good life since he was a child, and he had no idea about the sorrow of the poor. This made MacDonald, who was born in the middle class, not know what to say. It seemed that he could only be the bad guy.

Macdonald said with a smile: "We can take two steps. The first step is like what I just said. The two companies jointly produce a new car, and the price/performance ratio will definitely be higher."

"The second step is to lobby the U.S. military to increase purchase orders. The Soviets are a serious threat. Without strong logistical support, it will be difficult for the U.S. military to win in the confrontation."

This is for both military and civilian purposes and they don't want to let it go. It seems that this guy has great ambitions.

Henry Ford II said with a smile: "It is very simple to jointly develop a new car, and it is the case when the two of us join forces. But how can it be cost-effective? You must know that the salary standard of American workers is the highest in the world. And the work efficiency is relatively high."

The labor costs in Japan are lower, which is one of the reasons why they are currently unable to compete with Japanese automakers."

Henry Ford II did not mention Heiyun. It seems that he did not want to acknowledge the work efficiency and style advantages of Heiyun cars.

Seeing Ford II's confusion, MacDonald smiled and said: "We paid so much tax to the government before, and now it's time for the government to subsidize us."

When Henry Ford II heard this, he immediately understood what he meant. He hoped that the government would provide tax subsidies. If the government could provide tax exemptions for new cars, the price of cars could be reduced by at least 20%.

Is this the so-called cost advantage? The risk is too great. Once exposed, both companies will be criticized by the public. Even if the public does not know, the tax department will have great opinions on them.

Henry Ford II: "This is too risky, and GM can do it by itself. I don't understand why Ford is brought in. I hope you can give me an explanation."

Macdonald: "After all, this is a challenge to the U.S. tax department, and you know they are not easy to mess with. It is difficult for GM alone to persuade the White House. But adding Ford is different. The two of us have more than 400,000 direct votes.

And every worker has a family. That’s millions of votes, and even the president cannot ignore the actual interests of workers in the auto industry.”

Detroit has not yet entered a period of depression. It is the most important industrial center in the United States. Not only because of economic problems, no one dares to underestimate the demographic dividend.

This was an attempt to get himself into the group, and Ford II felt a little unhappy. Ford II, who believed he had aristocratic pedigree in the automobile industry, did not bother to take advantage of the country in terms of taxation.

It may have a certain effect and even defeat its competitors. But it will also become a stain that will always be with the Ford brand and the Ford family.

General Motors has no such concerns. You must know that General Motors has a professional manager system. Even if there is a problem, at most the professional managers will resign. Those who are fired can also receive huge compensation, and I believe many people are still willing to accept it; at least in terms of the economy

No losses will be suffered.

Now we need to think carefully about whether Ford should take risks.

Ford II: "GM's proposal is very good. You can give it a try. Ford will fully cooperate, but Ford has little experience in this area and needs President Mike to share more. Ford can provide financial support and guarantee that

It will make you suffer."

When I heard the old guy say this, I immediately understood what it meant. It was about cherishing feathers, being a bitch, and setting up a chastity memorial at the same time.

MacDonald also knew that this matter must involve Ford in order to succeed. General Motors alone would not be able to lobby the White House hard enough.

Since Ford cherishes feathers so much, this cooperation can allow them to bleed more. They don’t want to work, but they also want to get benefits. There is no good thing in the world that comes cheap at both ends.

Macdonald: "I understand what Mr. Ford means, as long as Ford can support this proposal. GM will be responsible for lobbying for the rest, but I hope Ford can bear part of the cost. After all, these are two companies."

Company matters."

In fact, joint research and development is a cover, and the purpose is to use the size and number of people of the two companies to put pressure on the government. I believe that even President Reagan cannot ignore the two companies. This is the prerequisite for cooperation.

Henry Ford II: "It is a matter of course to bear the expense. Ford will never be stingy."

"But compared to civilian vehicles, I hope to get orders from the military."

At present, many vehicles in the US military are very old, and the military has long been interested in replacing military transport vehicles. However, this order is too tempting. General Motors, Ford, Chrysler and other local auto stores all hope to get this huge order.

If it were a company, even General Motors would not be sure. But adding Ford would have another effect, and the U.S. military would definitely not dare to look down on these two companies.

Now that I hear the old guy talking about military orders, I guess this is the real purpose of calling him. It seems that it is better to be careful when dealing with these old guys. If you are not careful, you will be bypassed.

MacDonald: "I understand what Mr. Ford means. GM already has relevant plans. However, in order for the two companies to successfully cooperate, we are willing to share orders with Ford. The purpose is to allow the military to increase orders. I believe the military will also make a choice.

.”

A few years ago, the U.S. Army began to develop a new generation of light multi-purpose military vehicles based on the experience of the Vietnam War. At that time, the military vehicles required by the military needed to meet the requirements of high mobility, multi-purpose and wheeled (non-tracked) to replace

A variety of jeeps and various four-wheel drive pickups are designed to enable unified light military vehicles to achieve easier modular repair and maintenance to improve mobility.

At present, this work is almost completed, but due to the rise of Heiyun Group, there will definitely be changes.

With the exception of Heiyun Automobile, life is very difficult for local American automakers. At present, it is impossible for the US government and military to give such a large order to one company; in that case, even if there is no shady case, it will be called a shady case.

Military orders are definitely a piece of fat, and you have to find a way to eat them no matter what. But the existing equipment cannot be wasted, so you can only find ways to deal with it.

Ford II: "What to do with so many military vehicles? Even the military would not dare to scrap so many active vehicles so blatantly."

MacDonald: "The main vehicles currently used by the military are all Jeeps, and Jeeps are owned by Heiyun Group."

In World War II, bombers, tanks, and submachine guns changed the battlefield, but another thing that changed the battlefield that people turned a blind eye to was the Jeep that was scurrying around the world. This was a light general purpose vehicle designed by the U.S. Army to replace motorcycles.

The service vehicle is as nimble and fast as a rabbit, and it is also very sturdy.

The four-wheel-drive Jeep's ability to climb mountains and wade through water is very popular among frontline officers and soldiers. From the beaches of Normandy and the forests of the Ardennes, to the deserts of North Africa and the villages and towns of Central Europe; from the rainforests and rice fields of Myanmar to the islands and hills of the Pacific...

…Climbing hills, wading through rivers, crossing grasslands, crawling through quagmire, drilling through woods, and walking through alleys, Jeep traveled with the US military to all battlefields of World War II.

The Jeep has also become the most egalitarian vehicle. From Patton and Eisenhower to the GIs, they all ride in the same Jeep. The US military calls it "as loyal as a dog, as strong as a mule, and as dexterous as a goat." Many tanks are also used.

Wherever you can't reach, the Jeep will take you there.

With light and heavy machine guns or even recoilless guns mounted, jeeps can be used for assault and security operations. The British Special Air Service often rode jeeps equipped with light and heavy machine guns in North Africa, roaring in the desert and leaving without a trace, giving Rommel's

It caused great damage to the logistics line and was the first of modern special operations.

As a flexible, versatile vehicle, the Jeep has been used in places its designers never dreamed of. It has been used to tow trailers, light artillery and even train wagons, and it has also been used to clear snow, dig trenches, build forts, and even drive roundabouts.

Saws, washing machines. In the wild without electricity, the rear wheels of the Jeep can be used to tow a generator, which can be used to drive radars, radios, searchlights, welders, etc.

The flat hood of the Jeep was used as an altar for military chaplains to conduct prayers, or as a card table for soldiers to play poker. American soldiers praised the Jeep as "it can do all kinds of work except baking cakes." When repairs are needed, the car is not heavy anyway.

, a few people can use their strength to overturn the car and repair it.

It is no longer possible for Jeep to get orders from the military unless it is acquired by Americans. Now what does Mike Donald mean by saying this? Is it because he wants Bao Zixuan to recycle these cars? You must know that these are all antiques

, what’s the use of buying it back, and where can I put it to show off.
