Resource Tycoon Reborn
Chapter 740 Invitation
Fang Mingyuan nodded slightly, and he could tell that Yu Dongfeng's information was carefully prepared. It analyzed the current situation of the three major American automobile manufacturers quite well, and it was basically consistent with what he knew.
"Although the three major automakers are all facing the risk of bankruptcy, the specific situations of these three companies are still different. Although the three major companies have suffered huge losses for four consecutive years, Ford's financial situation is currently
Although the decline of the best enterprises will not be reversed immediately after receiving assistance from the US government, it will not have much problem to sustain it. The ones that are really facing bankruptcy are General Motors and Chrysler!" said Yu Dongfeng.
Fang Mingyuan nodded, this judgment was quite consistent with his memory.
"That means our targets are General Motors and Chrysler?" Xun Botao asked, "Of these two companies, there must be a first choice, right?"
"To be precise, our target is the brands, technology and equipment of these two companies." Yu Dongfeng laughed, "As for their shares, to be honest, they are not our first choice unless we can get enough shares.
"
"Even if you have enough shares, don't wade into this troubled waters." Fang Mingyuan shook his head and said, "It is too difficult to become the major shareholder of these two companies. It is not only a problem with the government, but also a problem with the labor unions.
, the money you make is not enough to worry about. In a few years, Detroit, the holy land of the American automobile industry, may go bankrupt!" Compared with South Korea, the strength of American labor unions can be said to be even worse.
, the powerful automobile union makes it difficult for automobile manufacturers to reduce wages, let alone reduce employees and increase efficiency. Many times, negotiations between the union and the factory have broken up due to the union's toughness. General Motors and Chrysler Automobile
The fact that the company is in its current situation is certainly related to problems in their business operations, as they are burdened with excessive labor costs. It is also one of the important reasons why American auto companies are struggling.
Yu Dongfeng and Xun Botao took a breath of cold air. Although bankruptcy of county and city governments is nothing new in the United States, the U.S. government has also had to shut down for a period of time because the budget failed to pass Congress.
Well, Detroit, as a well-known big city in the United States and the holy land of the automobile industry, enjoys a high reputation around the world. Of course, it is not entirely a good name. The riot that year also shocked the world in Detroit. Such a city
The city has been reduced to the bankruptcy of the municipal government. It is indeed quite impactful. Almost 80% of the finance of the Detroit municipal government comes from the automobile industry. It may go bankrupt. From this, you can imagine what the automobile industry will look like by then.
.
There are few men who don't like cars, and Fang Mingyuan is no exception. The bankruptcy of General Motors and Chrysler in the United States was a big deal at the time, so it was impossible for him to know anything about it. Later, the bankruptcy of the two companies
He is also aware of the changes. Although it is said that after the new president of the United States took office, the American automobile industry has experienced another spring. Not only has the financial situation of the three major automobile companies improved significantly, but also the domestic automobile sales market has improved significantly.
A lot of shares have been regained, but Fang Mingyuan still does not intend to buy their shares. However, although he does not intend to take the shares of the three major companies, their sub-brands, technology and equipment are welcomed by Fang Mingyuan. After all, Qin
Although Sichuan Samsung Automobile Group Co., Ltd. is still decent in the domestic market, when it comes to the international market, American, Japanese and European car brands still dominate. Even South Korea's Hyundai Motor has a larger share than Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Group Co., Ltd.
It has a large market share. In order to catch up and shorten its own research and development time, it is necessary to use external forces.
General Motors and Chrysler are on the verge of bankruptcy. In Fang Mingyuan's view, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity to "rob" them! Even though General Motors and Chrysler are in such misery now, they are already on the verge of bankruptcy, but centipede insects
Even if they are dead but not dead, the level of technical reserves in their hands is still very high. Even if it cannot be directly used on the existing models of Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Group, it can still give great inspiration to the R&D department of Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Group.
If the company wants to truly enter the overseas market and compete with American, European and Japanese car manufacturers in the future, it must have sufficient technical reserves and its own technical characteristics! Fang Mingyuan has been preparing for this day for a long time.
Yu Dongfeng and Xun Botao are also cooperating with his work, but to truly succeed, comrades still need to work hard.
"Master Fang, I think that in order to achieve this goal, we need someone who understands these two major companies and also understands the domestic market, and this person, fortunately, I found him." Yu Dongfeng took another item from his briefcase.
He took out a folder and handed it to Fang Mingyuan and said, "This man's name is Murphy. His career at General Motors lasted for more than thirty years. He is now the president of Chrysler Asia Pacific..."
"Are you talking about Phil Murtaugh, the former chairman and CEO of General Motors China?" Fang Mingyuan interrupted. Although he does not directly control Qinchuan Samsung Motors Group, he is a pillar industry of Tongyi's economy.
, is the core industry of the Fang family, and Li Xintong had been working at Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Group Company before. How could Fang Mingyuan not know about these celebrities in the automobile industry.
"Not to mention, it's Philmurtaugh. Mr. Fang also knows about him, so it's easy to handle." Yu Dongfeng smiled, "According to what we know, his current situation in Chrysler Automobile Company is not good. Chrysler Automobile Company
He was included in the recent management changes at the headquarters, and he will leave before the end of this month when his contract expires."
"He's resigning?" Fang Mingyuan raised his brows and said with a bit of joy. Yu Dongfeng's news came very timely. This Philmurtaugh has worked for General Motors for many years and has served as the Asia Pacific CEO of Chrysler Motors for more than a year.
The president of the district must have a very good understanding of the current situation of the two major companies. If... he can be brought under his banner, he is indeed a talent! Moreover, he has worked in China for many years and has a very good understanding of the Chinese market.
I am afraid not many people know better than him which technologies of large companies are more in line with China's needs.
"Well, Chrysler Motor Company has announced that he will leave his job before the end of the month." Yu Dongfeng nodded, "I already have his contact information here. If Mr. Fang thinks it is appropriate, I think we can try to win him over.
"
"I will do this!" Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment and said, "You two should still focus on Citigroup. The board of directors of Citigroup has intended to split the business into two, splitting Citigroup into 'Citigroup'
Bank' and 'Citi Holdings'. Among them, Citibank will retain the traditional banking business of the original group company in various countries around the world, and Citigroup Holdings will incorporate the asset management, consumer finance and other businesses of the original group company. Moreover, Citigroup will
In the near future, it will sell some of its assets in the United States and overseas in exchange for more cash."
"Since Mr. Fang is willing to take action personally, then I can worry less." Naturally, Yu Dongfeng would not refuse Fang Mingyuan's proposal.
Highland Park, Michigan, USA, is where the headquarters of Chrysler Automobile Company is located.
Philmurtaugh flew back here from China and made his last effort, hoping to convince the board of directors to let him remain as president of Chrysler Asia Pacific. In his opinion, although Chrysler Automobile Company's sales in China have not reached
Although he has a good understanding of China's automobile market, Chrysler's capital investment in China has fallen far short of expectations.
Level, no matter how many ideas, abilities, and connections he has, without enough funds, he can only be a clever woman unable to make a meal without straw!
However, after two days of communication with the board members and the company's top management, he could only leave here sadly. Chrysler Motor Company was no longer the Chrysler Motor Company that had warmly invited him to join. Huge losses and imminent bankruptcy fate, so that
The board members and management didn't even mean to appease him. After getting nothing, he could only fly back to China to make the final handover work with his next successor.
Feeling depressed, he walked to the parking lot. He originally thought that Chrysler Motor Company would be the place where he would show off his ambitions, but he did not expect that this would be the place where he failed. At that time, he could not see the possibility of further promotion at General Motors.
Because of sex, he resolutely resigned and left General Motors. Although he worked for some time at Shanghai Automobile Group Corporation, in the end he still placed his hope on Chrysler Automobile Company...
"Alas..." He sighed, thinking that there was no use in thinking about it. Since being kicked out by Chrysler Motor Company has become a foregone conclusion, he must consider where his next stop is. Although he is now
He retired at this point, and his savings were enough to allow him to live without worries until he died. But he was only fifty-three, which was a prime age for managers! Moreover, he was not willing to quit like this. He also wanted to
Look at General Motors and Chrysler. It's not that Philmurtaugh is incompetent, it's that they have no vision!
But where to choose next? Although the automobile companies in Europe and Japan say that they need scale and products, even if their boards of directors can take a fancy to him, they don't think that they can make a difference if they parachute there as an outsider.
What is the role? These companies have their own complete set of rules for talent training and promotion, and if there is not enough trust and delegation of authority, and sufficient financial support, they will not be able to display their talents no matter how great they are.
An automobile company in China? He estimated that if he applied for a job, it would not be a big problem and the salary would not be low. However, he did not have the slightest confidence. During the period when he worked at the Shanghai Automobile Group Company, as well as his experience in China
Years ago, he understood that although the automobile companies in China seemed to be prosperous and made considerable profits every year, without their own brands and technologies, they would always be puppets in the hands of these established overseas automobile companies! Once
These old car companies are withdrawing their capital, and they just can't help it!
For a moment, he actually felt that although the world was huge, there was no place where he could "live".
Just when he was standing in front of his car and about to open the door, a young and beautiful white woman, accompanied by two yellow men, stood at the front of the car. Philmurtaugh looked at the three of them with some surprise. This is the Chrysler Automobile Company.
parking lot, and this was not the city of Detroit, and the three of them were not black, so he wasn't too worried.
"Are you Mr. Philmurtaugh?" the white woman said with a sweet smile. Although he was fifty-three years old and had seen countless beautiful women, he still had to admit that the woman in front of him was very beautiful, especially the one in a superior position.
Her temperament is obviously not that of an ordinary person. However... he must have never seen her, otherwise, he should have some impression of her.
"Well, I'm Philmurtaugh, what can I do for you?" He put the car keys back into his trouser pocket and asked.
"My boss wants me to invite Mr. Murtaugh for a meeting. I wonder if Mr. Murtaugh is willing to give me a favor?" the white woman chuckled. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Angelina Welf, and my boss's surname is Fang."
, from China, I believe Mr. Murtaugh must have heard of his name. My boss doesn’t like to appear in public, and he doesn’t want to attract media attention, so he can’t invite me in person.”
His surname is Fang? From China? I must have heard of his name? He doesn’t like to appear in public, and he doesn’t want to attract media attention? These four conditions made Philmurtaugh subconsciously associate him with a famous figure, which made his
Your eyes immediately light up!
How could he forget Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Group Company among the Chinese automobile companies! Although "Fang" does not hold any position in Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Group Company, he is the major shareholder of Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Group Company.
, and another shareholder of Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Group, South Korea's Samsung Group, is said to have a lot of cooperation with him! (To be continued.)
