Chapter 967 Chrysler
"You are right, but Mr. Welch, you don't quite understand my ambition and pursuit."

"You see, I'm still very young, aren't I? In my relatively long life, I have now been considered financially free, um, extremely free! So, what do you think is the meaning and pursuit of life for me? Where?"

"Do charity, do public welfare? Set up some education funds, or raise two sports teams, maybe in the future, but for now, I don't think I have such noble sentiments. For me, my hometown, Helping the development of my hometown may be what I want to do most now!"

"An airport, of course, may be a small airport now, but I'm sure it won't be a small airport forever, and my hometown of Douglas will always be a small city"

"Then, when the demand is getting bigger and bigger, I will spend more and more money. Since I have to spend it all, then I will enter the game in advance and use this money."

Right hand instead of left? !
Even in terms of airport investment, we can also cooperate with the local government to jointly invest
In this way, the construction of the airport will make a fortune.In terms of equipment procurement, I can also make a fortune from GM, and back and forth, it can be said that no matter how I do it, I can earn money!

This is not difficult to understand, but Welch couldn't help but smile bitterly:

"I still feel that your conditions are too good, or that your trust in me is a little more groundless!"

"Is not it good?"

Carter didn't have an idea to explain this issue. You can't say that you know that your kid can bring GM to a new height in the future, right? !
"The number of board members is not easy to increase. This is the rule set by my mentor, Mr. Jones. And I, you should also know that the first thing I did when I took office was to lay off staff and management levels. For me, expanding the board of directors is not I would like to see it. But wait for the next board election to find a way to get a seat."

"Yes, I agree! Even, if you express your opinion, I don't care if I don't join this board of directors"

After communicating with General Electric, Carter went to Chrysler again.At Chrysler, Carter was greeted with a far different reception than GE.
To paraphrase a certain sketch, in the welcome team at the gate of Chrysler, there was a roar of gongs, drums and firecrackers!Red flags are waving, and there are huge crowds of people.
The purpose, Carter also understands
I have to say that Lee Iacocca, the president of Chrysler, is also a ruthless person!
This man is not as famous as Sloan, but Ford's classic Mustang is his handwriting.Speaking of which, I have some relationship with Carter. After all, Carter's first car in this life was Ford's Mustang GT.
"Look, Mr. Black, this factory once provided 3352 M3 tanks and more than 7000 M4 tanks to the front line during the war! But now."

In the factory in Detroit, the lazy workers and the half-stop production line did not show that this was once a factory, and it almost supported half of the tank supply of the US World War II Army.
Like Welch, after being fired from Ford, the president of Chrysler held back his energy to prove himself. The first thing he did when he came to power was layoffs.However, it is a little different from Welch. He basically lays off senior management
There were originally 35 Chrysler vice presidents, but 33 of them were laid off in one go.However, these workers who rely on the union are more difficult for him.
After all, Chrysler survived with money from the federal government!And what does the federal government want?Of course it is the employment rate.
You laid off all the workers, and the auto union protested and caused trouble in front of my White House every now and then. Didn't I get into trouble with money? !

"In the future, you call the labor union representatives in the factory to meet me in the office. I know what you want to think, but I can tell you clearly that the M60 has come to an end. Instead of considering me to get orders, it is better to consider getting through Congress. relationship, take the path of arms sales and sell those outdated goods!"

"Of course, I also understand your current financial difficulties. You have just made a profit for a few years, and you have to repay the federal loan. If you want to invest in research and development, the money can't afford it. It doesn't matter. I will find a way to help you get M1 Tank production authorized"

Walking slowly in the Chrysler Detroit factory, the indifference of the workers is in stark contrast to the cheers of the management.

To be honest, the auto union is definitely the culprit for Chrysler to have today!However, for me, the issue of the auto union has never been a problem for me.
The best policy, I can use the identity of the regional chairman of the auto union to negotiate;

The middle policy, the big deal is to tear your face and move all the factories to Georgia!

In case you are really in a hurry and encounter a collective boycott by the auto union, you have another plan:
If they resist, they will resist, since there are many markets that they can open up.
For example, China
Now China attaches great importance to joint venture car companies
As long as Chrysler agrees to relocate the factory to China, that guy can be said to want land for land and policy for policy.
Workers making trouble?It doesn't exist!
Moreover, China is still in the honeymoon period between China and the United States. In the ratings seen by Carter in the White House, China is now positioned as a non-ally and partner country.Even in the Batumi embargo list, the products embargoed to China have been reduced to a considerable extent. I just set up a car factory to go there, there is no risk at all, and there is no obstacle!

And Chrysler, a car company brand, is also very interesting, so I won’t mention any history or lineage.If this thing enters the Chinese market early, it may not be able to develop into a high-end car.
Don't you see how many foreign garbage brands that are on the verge of bankruptcy have been supported in China.
Besides, Chrysler itself is not garbage
It's just the workers' problem, no, the management also has the problem.
"What the hell?! You rejected FAW's request to introduce the Dodge 600 production line?!"

Still thinking in my mind, the group of people in the future will change Chrysler into Rolls Royce for wedding celebrations.If the Chinese market is laid out in advance, maybe it can completely replace Rolls-Royce's status.
Carter casually flipped through this year's work log, two of which almost blinded Carter's eyes
One is that Chrysler acquired a company called Jeep this year; the other is the minutes of the meeting with representatives of Automobile.
"Yes, they have introduced the production technology and production line of our 488 2.2-liter inline four-cylinder engine this year. This engine is most suitable for the Dodge 600 model. They have introduced this engine technology, so, for Dodge The 600 production line is definitely inevitable. I am just raising the price now, I don’t think there is any problem with it!”

"In their place, if they want to develop the automobile industry, American technology is a must. In the past two years, except for the suspension of production of our Dodge 600, there is no news of the suspension of production of other models. If even our The price is too expensive, and it is even more impossible for them to buy other production lines that are being put into production! They will definitely come back!"

Unlike Carter's stunned look, Iacocca's expression was full of confidence.As he said in his mouth, he is confident that FAW will still find it and accept his offer of 1760 million US dollars
However, Carter saw a very dangerous message in the minutes of the meeting!

"Have you noticed this record, the representative of FAW mentioned that Hahn, the chairman of Volkswagen, went to FAW."
