With detailed data and speeches compiled for them by Edelman, the two American auto industry giants came to the Pentagon. The Department of Defense may not pay much attention to MacDonald, but Henry Ford II’s

When you arrive, you still have to show enough respect.

Assistant to the Secretary of Defense and Director of the Munitions Procurement Division, General Ian Wright, personally came outside to greet him. It can be said that the specifications are sufficient.

After a few people exchanged pleasantries, Lieutenant General Ian Wright took them to the office of Defense Minister Casper Weinberger.

Casper Weinberg, known as the Cold War Warrior, is very different from other defense secretaries. This old boy can be said to be versatile in both civil and military affairs.

Caspar Weinberg was born during the time when the United States entered World War I. His whole later childhood memories were accompanied by Herbert Hoover’s presidential campaign and the Great Depression. Weinberg is undoubtedly among the greatest in American history.

generation.

During World War II, Weinberg fought under General MacArthur in the Pacific Theater. He moved to California and eventually became a senior staff member of Governor Ronald Reagan. He was distinguished as Director of the Office of Management and Budget in his early years.

He was nicknamed the "Razor" for drastically cutting government budgets at the time, and was also called the "Spider" for presiding over the largest military expansion in peacetime in the United States - meaning spreading money indiscriminately?

He advocated that the U.S. military should continue to expand its military strength, but he also firmly opposed the abuse of force. He opposed the sale of weapons to Iran, but was eventually humiliated by the Reagan administration's "Iran-Contra" scandal. After retiring from politics, Weinberg joined Forbes

Magazine, successively served as publisher and chairman.

This is a miracle in the history of world military affairs, which shows that he is definitely a legendary figure.

One of the reasons why Edelman Sr. dared to take on this business was precisely because the Secretary of Defense was definitely a man who dared to spend money. At this time, the Cold War was at its most tense, so he couldn't help but save money.

Seeing Henry Ford II come in, Casper Weinberg didn't dare to be too proud. He quickly stood up and said: "Two leaders of Ford and General Motors, everyone is here and welcome."

Although he is the Secretary of Defense and one of the most powerful people in the United States, he still has to keep a low profile in front of Henry Ford II.

As a lawyer, she understands the power of these top families better than ordinary people. After becoming the Secretary of Defense, she knows better who the American political arena is serving.

The Ford family has been developing in the United States for nearly a hundred years. Although there are still certain differences compared with the Rockefeller and Morgan families, compared with ordinary people, it has absolute authority. Let alone the Secretary of Defense, even the president has to let the other three

point.

When you are in office, people may give you face. But what happens once your term is over? They are no different from ordinary people. But the Ford family is still the Ford family, even if it takes hundreds of years. As long as there is no prodigal son in the family, maybe

will still exist.

After a few people sat down, Mac Donald looked at Henry Ford II. The meaning was obvious, you have to speak first, otherwise we won't be able to say anything else.

Seeing everyone's attitude, Henry Ford II was very happy. After all, this was a sign of respect for him and recognition of the Ford family.

Henry Ford II: "Your Excellency the Secretary of Defense is so kind. It is also an honor for us to be invited to the Pentagon this time. It is the obligation of every citizen to be able to make due contributions to the United States. Ford Motor Company and even Ford as a whole

The family will definitely take responsibility."

This is the ability of top public relations companies. They obviously want to do business with the Ministry of National Defense. But to be able to do it, the military must need the cooperation and assistance of the two companies. It can be said to be very shameless.

However, it also shows his ability from the side, which I have to admit.

As a lawyer, Casper Weinberg certainly knew what Ford II meant. He was very familiar with this word game. He was not angry because everyone's interests were the same. As long as he remembered this, everything would be fine.

None of it is a problem.

Caspar Weinberg: "Now the Soviet Union has exerted great military pressure on the United States, and the country's strategic transportation capabilities have been lagging behind."

"The Soviet army is already stronger than ours, which is very dangerous. The United States must make changes and cannot let the Soviets have even the slightest advantage."

"The purpose of inviting the two of us here this time is to discuss how the United States should respond. At this time, most of the military vehicles of the US military were produced during the Vietnam War, and their performance has completely lagged behind."

"Moreover, most of the vehicles we purchased were Jeep brand vehicles, and now it seems that safety cannot be guaranteed. After all, once the Jeep brand leaks the performance of military vehicles, we will be very passive on the battlefield in the future. Although Heiyun Group is not so bold,

But don’t be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the unexpected. To nip in the cradle any signs that are detrimental to the U.S. military, we must take precautions before they happen.”

What Casper Weinberg said was so high-sounding that it was impossible to find anything wrong with it. If you didn't know what was going on, you would definitely be fooled by him into giving up.

MacDonald knew he had to speak. After all, General Motors was the main focus of this military purchase. He could not let Henry Ford II steal the limelight, as that would not be conducive to order distribution. Although there was an agreement, if Henry Ford II did not want to fulfill it,

what to do.

This is a business involving tens of billions of dollars, and no one can remain indifferent.

MacDonald: "Being able to serve the United States is a supreme honor for every citizen. Providing soldiers with vehicles with the highest performance has always been the goal that General Motors is constantly pursuing."

"In order to allow soldiers to drive the most advanced vehicles in the world, General Motors has been preparing for five years. The military has also personally verified that the Hummer military vehicle is definitely the most superior overall performance in the world."

When they heard that they started to promote their own cars, everyone at the scene knew that this was about to get to the point. After all, the previous foreshadowing was enough, but now it seemed a bit fake.

From the perspective of Henry Ford II, Macdonald did not want Ford to take advantage. He was worried that he would overpower him, making Ford the leader in purchasing vehicles for the military.

As an automobile company with a history of nearly a hundred years, how could it be possible to break the contract and break the contract. But the fact that this guy thinks so proves that GM must have done similar things, otherwise why would it worry about others. It seems that when dealing with General Motors,

You still have to be extra careful. If you are not careful, you may be plotted by the other party.

Macdonald did not expect that one of his unintentional actions would cause Ford II to misunderstand him; it would also pave the way for the breakdown of subsequent cooperation.

Casper Weinberg said with a smile: "I have some absolute confidence in the technical strength and reliability of General Motors and Ford. Especially when the two companies come together. Combining the products produced by the two top American automakers

Military vehicles will surely amaze the world."

"At this time, everyone can imagine the scene of the world's best soldiers, equipped with the world's best vehicles, galloping on the plains of Eastern Europe."

Although this is just a beautiful wish, it can also give people unlimited associations.

Seeing that everyone had come to their senses, Casper Weinberg continued: "If you want to replace all military vehicles, you must use the waste of existing military vehicles. The plan you submitted can be very high-performance, and this matter was decided by Ian

-General Wright is solely responsible."

You two should prepare the performance description of the vehicle in advance, as well as the quotation for a single unit. Although the United States has a strong overall strength, I still hope that the price will not be too high. The Department of Defense is not a wealthy unit.

After saying that, everyone at the scene laughed, and it could be said that they understood each other tacitly.

When he heard that he was asked to be responsible for contacting Heiyun Group and Bao Zixuan, Ian Wright didn't say anything. In his opinion, these people were really shameless. Heiyun Auto not only failed to get orders from the Ministry of National Defense, but also wanted to buy back previous

The cars sold. Although the Jeep brand already belongs to Bao Zixuan, he did not make a penny from the cars he sold to the US military.

Now it is old and its performance is outdated. I just remembered how to say this. However, it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and he must carry out the orders of the Minister of Defense.

More importantly, Ian Wright also saw huge profits. Whether it was the purchase of new military vehicles or the disposal of old vehicles. These can all be operated well. I heard that the Soviets made a lot of money from them when they disposed of equipment.

few.

Now that the opportunity is in front of us, we can't let it go. Although we have fought with Bao Zixuan a few times before and the deals were not successful, that doesn't mean anything. This time we are dealing with items, and we want to sell them based on Bao Zixuan's connections.

It won't be too difficult. It just depends on what this young man thinks. No one can guess at this time.
