Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 970
In 1987, with Carter once again set foot on the land of South Korea, it was on the verge of ending.

At the end of this year, Carter's life has gradually returned to a peaceful and lively calm!
All in all, Carter, who only returned to South Korea in November, seems to have done the most in the remaining two months, eating banquets!First, Mr. Li Bingzhe, the first generation of Samsung, passed away and had a banquet; then it was either an engagement banquet for this, or a wedding banquet for that.
When the time came to November, the situation in South Korea was basically clear.Roh Tae-woo's rise to the top position is inevitable, but firstly, he has not yet formally assumed the presidency of South Korea, and secondly, people generally have a little doubt about the officials he will appoint.
The brand of the "Fifth Republic" on him is too strong. Before the situation is completely finalized, it is difficult to say whether the "desired" Sixth Republic of Korea will become a "5.5 Republic".All in all, during this period of time, large and small Korean companies and Korean chaebols are trying to find ways to strengthen their ties with the backers they are looking for.
Whether it's looking for the upstarts, or looking for the older generation of guys, no matter how they look, as a guy who has already made a name for himself in Korea.Lieutenant Carter has always been a member they cannot ignore.
After all, after beating up Lu Tae-woo, he can still swagger around in South Korea. If there is nothing behind this, who will believe it? !

Also because of the sudden death of Mr. Li Bingzhe, it was not until December that Li Zayong embarked on a journey to FAW.To be honest, this time is a bit late!
Since learning at Chrysler that Volkswagen's Hahn started contacting FAW, Carter has been paying attention to the trend.To put it more bluntly, through Han Xue, Carter almost shouted directly at the Chinese side: "Don't worry! Wait a minute, that idiot Iacocca won't do it, I will do it! Don't promise Hahn, what conditions does he give? We will give it all!"

If he hadn't said hello in advance, Carter would have no doubt that this matter could not be discussed now.
Isn't it just an engine adaptation problem? !

Carter doesn't think this thing is a big problem for China.At least in this era, the "big copycat country" has gradually revealed its minions
Even so many armament technologies can be absorbed and transformed (refer to the future Rabbit Eagle Sauce), reverse absorption, why can't you deal with your engine? !
How big is the 488 engine stuffed into the Audi 100? !What's more, there is that old boy Hahn working hard.
As for why not just send someone there, but have to wait for Lee Jae-yong
"Sorry! My friends, old men like Iacocca have the arrogance inherent in Americans of the previous generation. I don't like that. For everything you have experienced in the United States before, I apologize to you on behalf of Chrysler. I hope you can give me A chance to make amends!"

In Seoul, oh no, it should still be the waiting area of ​​Seoul Airport.Carter put on a luxurious pick-up specification.
A convoy of 36 cars, accompanied by police escort, and the hotel banquets are so expensive.
All of this is to wipe Iacocca's ass!
Every time he thinks of the records he saw back then, Carter can't wait to scold his mother.In the contact between FAW and Chrysler, the naked eye can see that China attaches great importance to it.
Every time I visit the United States, whether to visit Chrysler or have a meeting, among the lineup sent by FAW, the team is led by the vice president of the group, and the highest standard is led by the deputy director of the State Economic Commission and the chairman of the China Federation of Automobile Manufacturers. Team.And when it comes to Chrysler?
Iacocca didn't show his face once, so let's not talk about it. There are more than 30 vice presidents, but one of them didn't show up.
If FAW has no choice at all, it’s fine. Now there is a spare tire licking dog guy like Hahn squatting next door.
Compare the two!

Hey, one is that FAW crossed the ocean with great enthusiasm, and traveled thousands of miles to the United States, but they couldn’t even meet Chrysler;
At least in terms of impression points, Chrysler has lost so far!
Chrysler's current advantages, Carter thinks about it, there are only two points: 1, FAW already has the technology of 488 engines; 2, FAW itself is inclined to Chrysler.
Both of these advantages are in vain.
"To be honest, I can't come to the door to apologize, and I have to work so hard to make such a trip. I feel very sorry! I'm a straight person, and I don't talk nonsense. First, I promise here that the production line of the Dodge 600, It’s free for you to use! Just like the public, if you think it’s easy to use, these production lines and production materials will be used as the equity capital of FAW-Chrysler, a joint venture car company in the future. In addition, I guarantee that Chrysler will add more. An investment amount of less than US$2000 million will be injected into this new company."

When shaking hands and greeting everyone, and guiding everyone into the car to sit down, Carter backhanded a reassurance and stuffed it in.

"Second, in addition to the Dodge 300, we can also talk about the cooperation of the Chrysler 600! Unlike the Dodge 300, the Chrysler [-] is a new model, and the next generation will be finalized soon! There is also Jeep, especially in military off-road vehicles field, we can also talk about it.”

Even if the jeep is not right, it doesn't matter!
The classic Mitsubishi Pajero, oh no, we can also facilitate the cooperation of Cheetah Motors!

Carter muttered secretly in his heart.
Leaving aside the inadequacy of his own network, Chrysler now owns shares in Mitsubishi Motors!It doesn't matter even if the right to speak is not high, anyway, Chrysler also has technology!

Since the 70s, Chrysler has cooperated with Mitsubishi, but Chrysler has always been unable to let go of that shelf
Even if Mitsubishi's technology is used, or the whole vehicle purchased simply, when it arrives in the United States, it has to be uniformly changed to Dodge or Plymouth's standard for sale!
What's more interesting is that three years ago, Chrysler also acquired a 15.6% stake in Maserati from Fiat. It can be said that Chrysler actually has a lot of cards in its hands, but unfortunately, a good hand will be played by it in the future. a rotten one.
"Oh, Mr. Black, you are too polite! I have something to do, and I don't know how to say it now!"

Looking at the high-spec convoy in front of him, the factory director Geng who was almost put into the car by Carter hand in hand, after feeling the completely different treatment, his expression turned pale for a moment.
"I know, I know! Needless to say, Audi has already completed the adaptation of the 488 engine to the Audi 100, right?! But I'm not trying to discredit them as a competitor, although the adaptation is no problem now! In the future, the original configuration will definitely be better in terms of energy efficiency and stability!"

"But you asked us to buy spare parts for five years in advance, which is too much money!"

"Who said it? Iacocca, right? Don't worry, don't, don't want all of it! You trust me, let me handle the inventory, and I'll send you all! As far as I know, that old boy Hahn, I don’t have any good intentions. The production line of the Audi 100 can be used for free for you, but the stock parts need to be bought out by you, right?!”

"He has a lot of Audi 100 parts in stock, and the final actual expenditure may be lower than the quotation Iacocca gave you before. But it will definitely be higher than the quotation I gave! Believe me, it is not a good idea for me to cooperate with you. It’s been a year or two, absolute old friends! My own people! My own people don’t cheat my own people”
