Chapter 824 The Conspiracy of the American Car Boss 4

Henry Ford II seemed to understand what MacDonald meant. He wanted Heiyun Motors to take back all the jeeps currently in service in the US military. Most of the jeeps used by the US military were produced during the Vietnam War and have seriously aged. Is Bao Zixuan that stupid?

Besides, the U.S. military is the largest in the world, and it attaches great importance to logistics and supplies. Its military transport vehicles are definitely the largest in the world, and even the Soviet army cannot compare with them.

Before Heiyun acquired the Jeep brand, most of the U.S. military vehicles were Jeeps. This is one of the reasons why Chrysler has become one of the three major U.S. automakers. Its main sales volume is purchased by the military.

Now Chrysler has sold the Jeep brand to Heiyun Motors, although it has retained its military vehicle production line. However, Chrysler's design has completely lagged behind, and the products it designed simply cannot meet the modern strategic needs of the U.S. military.

It was also during this period in the previous life that General Motors' Hummer brand took advantage of the situation and became an automobile supplier to the U.S. military.

Because of the strong rise of Black Cloud Motors, American auto manufacturers are much more difficult than in previous generations. This is true for General Motors and Ford, and one can imagine the plight of other manufacturers.

Henry Ford II said very seriously: "President Mike means to let Heiyun Automobile buy back the US military's second-hand cars to make room for us."

"Even if Bao Zixuan had money, he wouldn't be able to do this kind of thing. There are so many cars, what's the use of buying them back. Besides, it's impossible for the military to place an order with Heiyun Motors. Heiyun shouldn't be that obedient."

In fact, no one would agree to repurchase the sold products. Moreover, these products have been used for many years, and the main reason is that they are still seriously damaged.

Macdonald said with a smile: "We can't look at Bao Zixuan with ordinary people's eyes. He is not a person who plays according to common sense."

"So many cars may be a burden to normal people. But with him, he might be able to get a large sum of money back."

"Although cars are outdated products in the U.S. military, they are definitely good items in other countries. For example, the Middle East and China, these places can be used as sales places."

Hearing that it could be sold, Henry Ford II knew Macdonald's true intention. Currently, this business can only be done by Heiyun Motors because the Jeep brand is in their hands.

But neither China nor the Middle East needs so many vehicles. This poses a problem for Heiyun Group and Bao Zixuan, and it also requires occupying the production line.

According to statistics, the U.S. military has more than 300,000 transport vehicles of various types. China's economy is backward, and people in the Middle East are very picky. Even if only a part is sold at most, it is still a very small part. Most of the vehicles have to be smashed.

Get it in your hands, or sell it for scrap metal.

The retired vehicles of the US military are not new and will definitely need maintenance after repurchase. They will inevitably occupy the production line. The production capacity of Heiyun Automobile is already very tight. If there are hundreds of thousands of vehicles occupying the production line, then whether other products should continue to be produced, these are all

It's troublesome.

If Bao Zixuan agrees to buy back retired US military vehicles, it is estimated that in the next six months, or even a year, they will not think about increasing the production of Heiyun Motors. This is their real purpose. After all, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Henry Ford II: "President Mike's intention is to first convince the military to replace the vehicles, which is relatively simple. After all, this is something that benefits everyone, and using the most advanced combat tools also guarantees the safety of soldiers.

.”

"It is not difficult to convince the military to sell decommissioned military vehicles to Heiyun. It can be done behind closed doors and everyone will get benefits."

"The key is how to convince Heiyun Group and Bao Zixuan. This is the most critical issue. If Bao Zixuan doesn't agree, we are all dreaming here. In that case, even if the military vehicles are replaced, it will only be a part at most, and the number will not be too large.

big."

In fact, MacDonald didn't have any confidence in his heart. He just brought up China and the Middle East to make trouble, just to cheer up Ford II and reassure the old guy.

If we ask this question now, we must face and solve it.

Mac Donald: "Bao Zixuan purchased so many machine tools, tanks, and armored vehicles from the Soviet Union. Now that the U.S. military is in trouble, don't you want to help? This is contempt for the United States. Do you think the military will make it easy for him?"

Hearing this, Ford II felt that something made sense. Bao Zixuan was not only a super genius and a successful businessman. He also had a nickname, the King of Rags. He had purchased a lot of rags from the Soviet Union over the years.

But this guy is also very capable, and after repairing them, he actually sold them all. Maybe as McDonald said, Bao Zixuan would agree to buy back the retired vehicles.

MacDonald continued: "In addition, General Motors and Ford can also put pressure on Heiyun Motors if they agree to sell the Jeep brand and production lines. Our two companies are willing to buy back retired military vehicles, provided that the Jeep brand and production lines belong to us."

This is a conspiracy. Jeep is now a very profitable brand under Heiyun Motors. Its market share is gradually increasing. How can it be sold at this time?

Most of the retired military vehicles are Jeeps, and GM and Ford cannot repair them even if they want to buy them back. Because they involve patent issues, they can only be left to Jeep for now.

Ford II was very satisfied. It seemed that MacDonald was really a talent. He was already quite old, and no one in his family had the ability to serve as chairman. Should he find a suitable opportunity to recruit this kid?

Henry Ford II smiled and said: "What President Mike said makes sense. I will do as you say."

"Ford never takes advantage of anyone. When it is done, our two families will take half of it. I know that General Motors has done a lot of preparatory work in the early stage, and Ford can compensate it financially."

Macdonald was a little unhappy. After all, Ford could not account for half of the market share by any calculation.

At present, the scale of the company is about 1.3 times that of Ford. Moreover, the research and development of new military vehicles is about to be completed by General Motors. And the military is very satisfied with its performance and controllability.

Now Ford wants to take half of the market share. Isn't this a bargain? There are so many good things in the world, and GM must occupy a dominant position.

Macdonald: "Mr. Ford's proposal is very good, but now GM has almost finished everything. It is difficult for one half of the company to explain to the board of directors at this time. If Ford is left aside, GM also has a great opportunity. But if we don't cooperate with GM,

Ford doesn’t seem to have a good choice.”

Ford II seemed to have known that the other party would refuse, and said with a smile: "It's not that Ford has no other options, but he doesn't bother to choose. President Mike also has to leave a way out for himself. It's best not to do too many things too harshly."

"You can't work at GM forever, and I guess the board of directors' trust in you is not as high as before. Ford has a longer history, and from the perspective of technical strength alone, GM is still not as good as Ford in many areas. Ford is only in marketing and

In terms of capital operation, it is just a little worse than General Motors."

What does this old guy mean? Could it be that he wants to dig him out? It's not impossible, otherwise he wouldn't talk like this.

Macdonald: "Thank you for your support, Mr. Ford, but my friendship with Mr. Ford cannot affect the cooperation between enterprises."

Who would believe such nonsense and without any guarantee of benefits, and gain benefits by selling out the interests of the company? This kind of behavior that violates professional ethics is not advisable, and the most important thing is to do it in front of another company owner.

If this were done, Ford II would definitely think that GM can be sold out for profit today; and Ford can be sold out for profit tomorrow.

Henry Ford II knew that MacDonald would not make mistakes easily. If a little kindness could make him change his principles, then this person would not be the CEO of GM. The GM board of directors was not that stupid.

In the end, the two people had preliminary discussions and reached an agreement that General Motors would account for 55% of the overall share; Ford would account for 35%; and the remaining 10% would be left to other companies. It is not so easy to go it alone with military orders.

Now that a consensus has been reached, just follow the established plan.

MacDonald needs to be responsible for this, and Ford II can show his face at the critical moment. No matter what, the government and military must know that the Ford family is also involved.

Mr. Bao, who is far away in Japan, still doesn’t know; a crisis, of course, maybe an opportunity is waiting for him. This once again disrupted the overall plan of Heiyun Group. However, there are some problems; it is difficult to achieve a certain level of strength before reaching a certain level.
