Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 352 From Five Cars to Union Chairman

"By the way, what you just said is that you plan to import vans to China, and then plan to open hotels in China, right?"

Just thinking about the auto union, Carter suddenly heard this sentence
"Yes, I'm all in China now! I came with that Carter."

"That Carter? Jimmy Carter?"

Akio Toyoda was surprised when he heard the words, and then there was a burst of ecstasy.Throwing off the thin blanket covering her body, she stood beside the bed excitedly
"Good! Good! Good! Great! What a coincidence!! What a coincidence!!"

"What's the matter? What's the coincidence? Well, it seems to be a bit of a coincidence. I didn't even think that I would become Carter's creditor"

Carter fished his head and once again misunderstood what Akio Toyoda wanted to express.

In cross-industry dialogues, this kind of misinterpretation often occurs.Carter also thought that the other party was amazed that he could get on line with Jimmy Carter, but he didn't want to
"No no no, I didn't mean that! Yes, Mr. Woodcock, you know? Clennard Woodcock!"

"I don't know, who is this?"

"The current ambassador to China! But this is not important. The important thing is that from 70 to 77, this Mr. Woodcock served as the chairman of the auto union for 7 years! Moreover, if you know Jimmy Carter, then It’s even easier! He got out of the labor union and turned to diplomatic work, which was promoted by Jimmy Carter. In the words of our Asians, this is called the grace of knowing you!”

"If Mr. Carter is willing to introduce you, you can contact Mr. Woodcock, then"

"Then combined with my influence in the local area, not to mention preventing the auto union from entering, at least, in the union of the Toyota Georgia plant, we have to take the initiative! Having the right to speak will minimize the impact of the union on production !"

Woodcock is taking the high-level route, and his local influence is to take the grassroots route.As soon as Akio Toyoda said this, especially when he pointed out the UAW chairman in Woodcock's resume, Carter understood his plan!

To put it simply, contact the top union leaders at the UAW headquarters in Detroit through Woodcock, and let them give up the supervision of the labor union power in Georgia through the exchange of interests or other forms, or let them acquiesce in taking over this part strength.Like making myself the president of the Georgia chapter of the UAW or something
In southern states with strong unions and weak foundations, the number of workers joining unions accounts for less than 4% of the total number of workers.For the auto unions, there is no doubt that this is a backwater area that is waiting to be developed.
It's a shame to discard this tasteless area.If someone can express that he is willing to take over this land, and I will give you more "offerings" from the trade union than before.
Carter feels that the top management of the UAW is likely to agree to this, a cooperation plan similar to an arrangement.outsource union leadership in the Georgia area, and
"That's right! That's it, and this matter, I can only ask you to do it! I am Japanese, and it is impossible for the UAW to allow me to be a Japanese in the leadership position, but you are different."

While Akio Toyoda was excited, he also quickly evaluated the feasibility of cooperating with Carter in his heart.

Funded by Toyota to help Carter enter the auto union, and even push him to become the leader of the Georgia branch, and then use this to obtain a better production and development environment.
In terms of feasibility, this plan is the same as Carter's judgment and idea.Akio Toyoda also believes that the feasibility is very large!
On the one hand, Carter's influence is basically at the ceiling level in the south-central region of Georgia, especially in the small area from Argyll in the south to Douglas in the north!Its reputation is good, this is what he saw with his own eyes
If he joins the union, these people will most likely become his die-hard supporters.In a wider area, the influence will decline, but the good reputation is already being sung, and the potential appeal cannot be underestimated.
There is a mass base, and there are campaign funds provided by Toyota, and even the entire Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, and now there are contacts at the top of the auto union.
The right time, the right place, and the right people are here! !

He, Akio Toyoda, currently only worries about one question, and that is: Will he change his mind after pushing Carter to the mid-to-high position of the auto union?Will he no longer be a good friend of the Japanese Autobots, and just transform into a guy who is exactly like those vampires in the UAW? !
If the strength of the Japanese is gathered and Carter is pushed up, the result is a white-eyed wolf.
"In addition to being an American, you also have a local banking business. We are more assured of cooperating with you! You are not the kind of cancer moth who does not do anything to produce. If you maliciously organize a strike, it will also affect your banking business. In this regard, our interests are aligned!"

"Our Japanese car companies need a stable production environment, and you also need a stable and prosperous market! Mr. Black, can I invite you to come to Japan? This kind of thing is not up to me, even my grandfather Eiji Can't do it."

"If you can help us and gain the trust of those old guys, the entire Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association will be your backing. In the future, whether it is business cooperation or your intention to participate in politics, we can provide you with sufficient support! Please, Busan!"

Although the nondescript Blackthorn was a little strange, Carter's attention was not here at all.

Who would have thought that just to buy Nima's five vans, such a big thing could be pulled out? !
There is one thing to say, knowing that the UAW will be weak in the future, and even in 2017 at Nissan’s Canton plant in Mississippi, when workers voted to decide whether to allow the UAW to settle in, more than [-]% of the workers expressed their support for the UAW’s entry. be opposed to.

But in 81, when Detroit had not yet been bankrupt; before the bankruptcy of the three American auto giants GM, Ford, and Chrysler, the influence and power of the auto union were extremely large.
Carter doesn't know how Japanese car companies in history escaped the erosion of UAW at this stage, but for himself
As Akio Toyoda said, if he has a resume in the auto union, it is a huge political capital for him.Even if you don't plan to participate in politics, you can think of Yale, a university known as the cradle of American presidents.
Everyone understands the importance of networking and network building!Carter naturally also understood that during his four years at Yale, if he could not recognize some future talents or current bigwigs, then this university would be meaningless.

Know what to do, but how?How to get in touch with those characters?What should I talk to them about? To be honest, Carter's mentality is not right now.

If there is an auto union's resume, even a relatively brilliant one, he can become the chairman of a state branch at a young age.
At the very least, it's time to talk, isn't it coming out?
In addition, if I can reach a cooperation with Japanese car companies, when Japanese car companies enter the United States in the future, where will they choose to build factories?Is it Georgia with its own care?Or unfamiliar Kentucky, Mississippi, Alabama and the like?
This is almost a no-brainer!
A large number of car companies have entered their own territory, which is also a great benefit for their banking business.
