Three days have passed in a flash, and the U.S. Department of Defense is about to launch the second round of bidding. This time it will enter the theme of the bidding meeting. The Department of Defense will put forward specific requirements for the performance of military vehicles.

Historically, as early as 1978, the U.S. military put forward specific requirements for the performance of a new generation of military vehicles, but due to some special reasons, they have never been realized. This is also the direct reason for the replacement of all military vehicles.

At this time, more than 10 automobile manufacturers have come to the Ministry of National Defense. After all, it involves the purchase of more than 300,000 military vehicles, and no manufacturer does not want a share of the pie.

Major officials from the Department of Defense were present, including Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger. The host was Ian Wright, whom Weinberger was deliberately cultivating.

Lieutenant General Ian Wright was wearing a crisp uniform, and his masculine charm was undoubtedly revealed. Looking at Bao Zixuan, he was a little jealous, wondering if he should get one himself. But a soldier is not just a simple suit of clothes, it is mainly about temperament. Although Bao Zixuan knew

However, it is inevitable that there is still some dissatisfaction in my heart.

At this time, everyone was looking at Ian Wright, wondering what this relatively young general had to say.

Ian Wright: "Welcome to you to participate in the bidding meeting for the Department of Defense military vehicle orders. I would like to thank you for your strong support to the U.S. military."

"Entering the second round means that you have canceled the companies related to the tax haven islands. Although I believe in everyone's integrity, ugly things will still be said up front. The company that dares to violate the rules will be subject to the most severe sanctions from the Ministry of National Defense."

"Not only will the qualification for this bidding be cancelled, but I will also be unable to participate in any bidding meetings related to the Ministry of National Defense in the future."

This punishment is not harsh, at least it is the first time in the history of U.S. military procurement. Before coming here, all the manufacturer representatives felt that the Ministry of Defense might introduce severe measures, but they did not expect to just beat him to death with a stick.

After Ian Wright finished speaking, he made a gesture. The American female soldier took the agreement and asked the manufacturer's representatives to sign it, which made many people start to sweat. After all, they had taken the problem for granted before, but they did not expect the military to be so ruthless.

The agreement requires that not only companies that win the bid cannot register companies in tax haven islands; as long as they participate in this bidding meeting, even companies that do not win the bid cannot register companies in places such as the Cayman Islands.

Isn’t the Ministry of National Defense’s control too broad? Isn’t this blocking everyone’s escape route?

Many small and medium-sized enterprises began to hesitate and were weighing whether it was worth it. The Ministry of National Defense caught them all off guard this time, and it was really difficult to make a choice for a while.

The boss of a small car company said directly: "General Ian Wright, what if we don't win the bid and we want to continue to use the Cayman Islands company."

Seeing someone taking the lead, everyone was waiting for the answer from the Ministry of National Defense. This was an act of public challenge. There are some things that can be done, but they must not be said in person. It was a blatant challenge to the government; of course, it was mainly the tax department. But

The U.S. Department of Taxation is a more terrifying existence than the Department of Defense, and all manufacturer representatives are sweating for this warrior.

After formulating the policy, the senior officials of the Ministry of National Defense also felt that the control was too broad. The Ministry of Taxation is responsible for tax avoidance, and the main task of the military is to maintain national security and protect people's lives and property.

But some decisions were imposed by the presidential office, and they were just following orders.

Ian Wright: "If you dare to violate the agreement, you will have to pay a fine of US$100 million."

"But the agreement has not been signed yet, so you can go back on your word. In other words, you can leave directly now, and the Ministry of National Defense will not impose any restrictions on the companies that leave."

It is impossible to beat someone to death directly with a stick, as that will easily cause chain reactions. The automobile companies themselves are not weak, and the Ministry of National Defense cannot do everything right.

When I heard that I could leave, I was the company that came here to make soy sauce, and I suddenly felt hopeful. They looked at each other, and the person who just asked the question was the first to stand up.

It would be much easier if someone took the lead. Representatives of several small and medium-sized car companies left the conference room one after another. The military vehicle order had nothing to do with them in the first place, so they didn't dare to insist on it here.

At this time, in the conference room of the Ministry of National Defense, in addition to military representatives, there were only five companies left: Heiyun Motors, General Motors, Chrysler, Ford Motor Company, and Mack Motor Company.

This is unexpected, but it is also reasonable. Small and medium-sized car companies are originally meant to accompany the bids. With such harsh conditions, not everyone dares to continue playing.

For millions of dollars in profit, a fine of 100 million dollars is required. No one dares to take this risk, and will not take it.

Heiyun Motors and Ford Motors themselves have nothing to do with tax haven islands, and the penalties will have no impact on them at all. General Motors is bound to win this military vehicle order. And as long as nothing goes wrong, most of the military vehicle orders

Definitely give it to them.

Mack Trucks is still very confident that it can win orders for military trucks. At least it has a good basis for cooperation with the US military, so it will not be a big problem to get orders.

Chrysler didn't want to admit defeat, and it couldn't afford to lose. Heiyun Motors developed through the acquisition of Jeep and Dodge, and the two brands became even more brilliant after they were acquired by Bao Zixuan. At this time, everyone believed that Chrysler's management capabilities and technical strength were not good enough.

, otherwise how could there be such a big gap.

Not much of the acquisition money paid by Heiyun Group to Chrysler has been divided up by the board of directors. It can be said that Chrysler currently does not have much funds, and the military order is a life-saving straw.

And they don’t want to admit defeat in front of Heiyun Automobile and Bao Zixuan. If Heiyun Automobile gets the military order and Chrysler doesn’t even get it from Mao Zedong, then what awaits them will not only be criticism from the public and the media; it will also affect customers.

, the confidence of consumers and corporate employees.

At present, Chrysler dealers have great opinions on the company, and the dealers who stayed are beginning to regret why they don't represent Heiyun Motors, and most of them have already started looking for relationships.

At this time, losing to Heiyun Motors in the military vehicle bidding does not mean that Chrysler Automobiles is indeed inferior to Heiyun Automobiles. Seeing this, the CEO of Chrysler did not dare to leave.

As for Chrysler employees, they have great opinions on the company's management. With so much money, they don't think about developing new cars, updating equipment, or increasing workers' benefits. Instead, they get dividends from the board of directors. It's strange that such a company can develop.

Next door is the Heiyun Automobile Factory. In the past, the salary was almost the same as theirs. But now the monthly salary paid to them is almost three times that of theirs. There is no harm without comparison. Many employees of Chrysler want to leave as soon as possible. If they can join the Heiyun Automobile Factory,

Yun Auto, I really have nothing to miss about Chrysler.

After Bao Zixuan took the agreement, he glanced at it and signed his name directly. Although the agreement was very harsh, it not only restricted the present, but also restricted the future of the company. However, it was mainly aimed at the issue of tax avoidance islands. Regarding this point, Bao Zixuan

Never thought about it.

Once again, it would be too shameful to make money through tax avoidance, tax evasion, and tax evasion.

Seeing Bao Zixuan's signature, the other four people also signed their names. They didn't dare to show weakness at this time, let alone be looked down upon by an outsider.

Henry Ford II said with a smile as he signed: "Ford Motors has never thought of making a fuss about taxes, which is against family tradition. Signing this agreement is a shame for the Ford family, but

To show my sincerity, I still signed my name on the agreement."

"However, this can serve as a good warning to future generations, letting the young people in the family know where the roots of Ford Motors lie."

Macdonald began to regret cooperating with Ford. This old guy was too cunning. And he could make his presence felt all the time. He really had no advantage at all in front of others.

Secretary of Defense Casper Weinberger smiled and answered: "Ford is worthy of being the symbol of the American automobile industry. When I was young, my biggest dream was to own a Ford. Although this goal has long been achieved, today I heard about Ford again.

Only after Mr. Wang’s words did he understand why Ford cars are loved by the people.”

As a referee, I shouldn't take a stand at this time. What does Weinberger mean? You must know that he is one of the final arbiters of this military vehicle order, and he is the most important one.

It stands to reason that Weinberg, who is a lawyer by training, should not make such a stupid mistake. It seems that the meaning behind it is unusual.

At this time, the harsh agreements have been signed, and there is no turning back for several companies. They can only try their best to win orders for military vehicles. As for the words of Defense Secretary Weinberg, they can only forget them for now.
