Shanghai is prosperous

Chapter 344 Carton Contract Extension
At this time, the dishes ordered came up, and the two ordered another bottle of rice wine.Wang Yiyuan smiled and said, Manager Chen, we won't drink much today, this bottle of wine must be finished after all, right?
Do you still want to take a car and drink alcohol?Manager Chen chuckled and said, as long as you have no problem, I will drink with you.In this way, you can taste our Wuxi dishes first and see if you can get used to them?

Wang Yiyuan tasted every dish.As expected, each of these dishes has a strong Wuxi flavor, with a strong sweet taste.He laughed, it seems that white sugar in Wuxi is very cheap, otherwise, he would not add sugar like this without money.

However, from a visual point of view, at least in terms of appearance, these dishes are still particularly good-looking, and it is easy to arouse people's appetite.The first thing to bear the brunt is the sauced pork ribs, a small piece, sauce red in color, rich in aroma, crispy and rotten meat, looks like fermented bean curd meat, it is a must.

There is also osmanthus candied taro, which is also a very good sweet soup. The osmanthus is very fragrant, and the glutinous taro is glutinous corn, but the portion is too large, and it comes out in a big pot.The soft and glutinous osmanthus cake has a tangy aroma.

Xiao Xiaoxiao said while eating, I think the most delicious is the sauce of the pork ribs in sauce, which is salty, sweet and balanced.I think the taste of these dishes is not bad, and the sweetness is very suitable for my taste.

Wang Yiyuan had a drink with Manager Chen and said, you continue the topic just now, so I can learn more?
Manager Chen put down his wine glass and said, the year before last, in November [-], the stock price of General Motors fell to only two dollars per share.So GM executives told the U.S. Congress that unless it received a bailout from the U.S. federal government, it would not be able to pay what its suppliers owed, meet its loan obligations, pay employees' wages and pay for health care.

Wang Yiyuan said, ha ha, does this sound like a rascal?

Manager Chen said that there is a bit of similarity.In the end, however, GM received a $50 billion bailout from the U.S. government that year.However, it was still hit hard by the financial crisis in [-] and fell into the shadow of bankruptcy. On June [-], it formally applied to the court for bankruptcy protection.

He said that in July last year, all legal obstacles to the reorganization were cleared, and the "New GM" was announced, renamed General Motors Co., Ltd., and the brand logo remained unchanged.After the reorganization, the Obama administration of the United States provided assistance and held 5 million shares of the company, accounting for nearly 20.00% of the total shares500, with a total investment of nearly [-] billion US dollars.

Wang Yiyuan greeted Manager Chen for a drink, and said, with so much money from the government, wouldn't GM become a "state-owned enterprise" of the US government?
Manager Chen smiled and said, hehe, there was such a saying at the time, but it was not accurate.General Motors is therefore nicknamed "Government Motors", General Motors, Government Motors.But please note that after the US government took over, General Motors did not become a so-called "state-owned enterprise" in the Chinese style.

He said that because the U.S. government only injected capital into it, although the equity is relatively large, it does not directly manage the company, and U.S. officials will not be stationed in the company, but will continue to let GM come up with relevant revitalization plans.

Wang Yiyuan smiled and said, I still don't quite understand why the government took so much money to rescue a car company that was on the verge of bankruptcy?

Manager Chen and Wang Yiyuan had a drink, and said that, as we all know, General Motors has a large scale, with many branches and production plants in the United States, and hundreds of thousands of employees are recruited to work for it.If GM has not collapsed, these employees will be able to continue to be employed. This is undoubtedly the biggest social stability factor for the Obama administration in the United States, which is committed to increasing the employment rate.

He said, think about it, tens of 10 people suddenly rushed from the factory to the street, how to arrange these people during the economic downturn of the financial crisis?If something like this happens, it would be a nightmare for the US government.

Xiao Xiaoxiao said with a smile, you two big men don't just worry about international affairs, you still want to eat food.

Manager Chen picked up a dried yellow croaker and said with a smile, since it is a nightmare, the government can't let this happen.So when GM is in danger, the US government will definitely take over at any cost.Now that GM has not fallen, the employment rate of the US government is much better.

Wang Yiyuan ate a piece of gluten and said, in the final analysis, it was for himself, and Obama was the same.

Manager Chen said that, in addition, General Motors is a giant in the American industry with extraordinary influence. It owns many brands and produces and sells millions of cars every year.That is to say, when GM was in crisis and filed for bankruptcy protection, there may still be a lot of people in the United States using GM cars. 4S stores, dealers, and auto repair shops all over the country are inextricably linked with GM. related.

Wang Yiyuan nodded and said, this is the reality.

Manager Chen said, in the face of such a huge enterprise that affects the entire American people, how can the U.S. government let him fall and not help?

He laughed and said that if a GM is revived, the lifestyles of hundreds of millions of people in the United States will not be disrupted, and everything in the United States will continue to operate as usual. This may be the original starting point and ultimate goal of the US government.

Wang Yiyuan thought about it and said, what you said makes sense.Think about it too, General Motors was originally the world's largest automobile company with a century-old history.

He said, I think that if GM encounters another crisis in the future, the US government will still help.In fact, the reason is very simple, because GM has penetrated into all aspects of American people's lives.The United States cannot do without GM.

Manager Chen said with a smile, that's why our company made a judgment based on this, and judged that the production situation will improve around May this year.

Wang Yiyuan and Manager Chen clinked glasses again, and said with a smile, in this way, General Motors should be brought back to life, and your joint venture company will at least have soup to drink.

All three laughed.Manager Chen smiled and said, Manager Wang, you are full of humor, but that's exactly the reason.

Wang Yiyuan thought for a while and said, I still have another worry. The contract between our two companies is about to expire. What should we do next? Will there be another bidding?
Manager Chen smiled and said, you don't have to worry about this.There is a clause in our contract that if the supply is delayed because of Party A, that is, our company, the supply period will be automatically extended after the contract expires.So don't worry, the contract is still valid.

Before I knew it, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, and Wang Yiyuan was on the train to Tangshan at three forty.He looked at the time on his phone, and said apologetically to Manager Chen, I'm really sorry, I still have to catch the train, that's all I can do today, next time we'll find a chance to have a good drink.
