The U.S. Department of Defense's qualification to bid for military vehicles has aroused the enthusiasm of the national media. Before, Bao Zixuan's remarks did not make much sense; after all, no matter where a company is registered, it has little to do with ordinary people. Now even the Department of Defense has taken action.

It shows that the problem is very serious. There are even higher-level people involved in this matter. The answer is self-evident.

Sure enough, it proves the saying that wherever Bao Zixuan goes, news will appear. This saying still applies in the United States.

Before Bao Zixuan went to the Middle East, he instantly changed the situation in the Middle East. When he arrived in mainland China, Shanghai Pudong New Area was established. After he arrived in Japan, he made headlines one after another. He didn't stop when he came to the United States, and even the U.S. Department of Defense revised the bidding process.

Requirements and rules.

This young rich man must be the protagonist in the movie, with his own aura of protagonist. Or he is the illegitimate son of God, otherwise how can he change the rules?

The media is extremely excited, but for other car manufacturers, they have to face a difficult choice. If they want to continue bidding, they must comply with the requirements of the Department of Defense. If they don't want to do business with the US military in the future, then it doesn't matter.

But the current situation makes them dare not ignore defense orders. After all, the civilian market has been almost eaten away by Japanese, European, Heiyun and other automobile manufacturers, and there is no sales at all.

Henry Ford II returned home and looked at the family members. He smiled and said: "It seems that the Department of Defense's orders must include Ford cars, which is a good thing. But I don't want to see Ford at this time."

Is there any negative news about the family? After all, this time we are making money from the government, and we cannot let the media get any hold on Ford and the Ford family."

Henry Ford II has never had a good impression of the family members. You can say that the big family is cold-blooded, or you can say that there are no children in the family who can catch his eye.

To survive in a big family, you must abide by family rules. Now that the patriarch, Henry Ford II, has expressed his position, others dare not say anything. At most, be careful when going out to play, and don't get caught.

And it was only forbearing for a while, as long as the military order was obtained. It didn't matter if the media reported randomly. At this time, the children of the Ford family knew what to do.

Unlike the relaxed and happy atmosphere of the Ford family, General Motors seems a bit nervous.

At this time, General Motors was holding a board meeting, mainly to discuss the pros and cons of canceling the company in the Cayman Islands.

Although MacDonald agreed readily, he did not dare not agree or express his position at that time. However, there were still some objections on the General Motors board of directors, and he, a professional manager, had to explain to individual directors.

MacDonald said with a serious expression: "Due to the remarks made by Bao Zixuan of Heiyun Group, the media has paid attention to the issue of registering companies on tax haven islands. Now not only the media is paying attention, but even the White House has begun to pay attention to it."

"I suspect that asking the Department of Defense to cut off cooperation with companies related to tax haven islands is the intention of the White House. It is not our choice now. Moreover, what the White House wants us to do, President Reagan wants us to do."

"The two branches must be cancelled, although they have to pay more taxes every year. But this money must be spent, otherwise General Motors can say goodbye to the military in the future, and the Ministry of National Defense will not be able to give us orders again."

Those who can become directors of General Motors are all smart people. Of course they are aware of the twists and turns involved, but there are still some directors who are not willing to accept it. The main reason is that the company is registered in the Cayman Islands and has too many interests related to them. Once General Motors takes over the company

If they cancel, their other companies will have a hard time in the future.

A director said: "We haven't won the military order yet, so why should we give up our existing interests just for something on paper? General Motors' performance has not been good in recent years. If we do not adopt reasonable tax avoidance methods, we will only lose money this year."

"

"By then, let alone your dividends at the end of the year, your assets may have shrunk significantly. We can split the company's business, and we can completely spin off the two offshore companies. This not only meets the requirements of the military, but can also be used rationally when necessary.

its function.”

There is some truth in what he said, but MacDonald knew that this kind of fooling around was not allowed, and he must not treat the military as a fool.

MacDonald: "This time it was not just the military that took action, but instructions from the White House. It can be said to be the request of President Reagan. Do you think the CIA or FBI are easy to deceive?"

"This will bring General Motors into an abyss of destruction. It will no longer be able to get military orders in the future, and it will even be difficult to gain a foothold in the United States."

"If you want to get military orders, you must deal with the companies in the Cayman Islands. General Ian Wright made it very clear on the phone that this time is just a test. If during the test, General Motors would dare to

If you follow the rules and violate the rules, you will never have a good life in the future."

In fact, everyone knows that the Ministry of National Defense is definitely not that easy to fool. But we still thought of trying it with a sense of luck, but now it seems that the idea is too idealistic.

Macdonald continued: "General Motors will definitely be able to get an order from the so-called Ministry of Defense tender. It's just a question of how much. You can rest assured on that. And it will definitely take the majority. It depends on how General Motors chooses at this moment."

"If General Motors still wants to do business with the Ministry of National Defense and receive orders from the military in the future, then it cannot have any involvement with the Cayman Islands. Even if it gets through by chance this time, it will definitely be disqualified next time."

"If the directors don't agree, we have another way to maximize our profits: sell Hummer. When the Ministry of National Defense is replacing military vehicles, there are definitely many companies willing to take over Hummer, and they will definitely be able to sell it at a good price."

"American auto companies are having a hard time; if they don't want to go bankrupt, they have to make changes. Either they focus on getting military orders, or they sell Hummers."

Hearing that MacDonald had the idea of ​​selling the Hummer brand, the directors present knew that he was serious about it. Although some people had different opinions, they had to serve the overall situation, so no one dared to say anything.

GM's internal decision-making was unanimous, but it also left some hidden dangers. Several directors became dissatisfied with MacDonald, which also paved the way for his subsequent dismissal as CEO.

At this time, other American automobile companies were faced with a more difficult choice. Ford itself did not have a tax haven island registered company, and General Motors dared to make a decision because it had a guaranteed order from the Department of Defense.

But for many companies, they simply cannot survive if they do not register their company on a tax haven island. If they cancel the company and cannot get orders from the Ministry of National Defense, they will have to apply for registration again.

It’s no problem to get larger orders, at least in a short period of time you don’t have to worry about the survival of the company.

They are afraid that the amount of the order they will get is very small, and the military orders cannot be delayed. The tax haven islands dare not register companies anymore, and the companies will go bankrupt.

The famous Mack truck had this problem. At this time, several roads were placed in front of them.

Mack Truck Co., Ltd. was founded in 1900 and is a powerful heavy-duty truck manufacturer in North America.

During World War I, more than 5,000 Mark ac trucks were in service with British and American troops. When other trucks got stuck in the mud, British and American soldiers always called in the Mark ac to pull them out. Because of this truck's unique

The super power and flat nose-shaped hood are easily reminiscent of bulldogs, and British soldiers called them "Bulldogs."

Mack Trucks had already cooperated with the U.S. military in World War I, and it was imperative that the Department of Defense replace military trucks. At this time, Mack Trucks faced the same problem as other companies, and it had to sever all ties with the tax haven island.

The French Renault Truck Company has extensive cooperation with Mark Company; it is normal for two companies from different countries to jointly register a company on a tax haven island. The directors of Mark Company were worried that Renault would have different opinions, but the words of Mark CEO let the directors know,

It doesn't matter even if we lose Renault as a partner when we get military orders.

Everything must make way for military purchase orders now, and we can wait until later to talk about the rest.

This is a reshuffle of the U.S. auto industry. It seems to have achieved a certain effect so far. At least many car companies have begun to cancel their affiliated companies in tax haven islands. This is the actual result.

However, everyone including President Reagan knows that these are just appearances at present. The automobile industry is a traditional industry, established very early, and has a relatively long history. Most of the companies registered in tax haven islands are subsidiaries, purely for tax avoidance.

Other industries are not so easy to handle. Many large companies and their parent companies are registered in tax haven islands. It will definitely be extremely difficult to run these companies.
