Chapter 177

After receiving the order from baozixuan, John Chambers immediately contacted major headhunting companies in the United States. We should recruit automobile R & D talents and begin to investigate the factories that American automobile giants are ready to sell.

Affected by the oil crisis, the American automobile industry has been seriously impacted. Now many enterprises have a lot of production capacity that can not be released. The operating rate of workers is seriously insufficient, and life is very difficult. Many American automotive engineers are unemployed. Suddenly, they received the intention of black cloud group to recruit a large number of automotive engineers and buy auto factories and mechanical equipment.

Many American auto giants have actively contacted John chambers. After all, everyone knows that black cloud group has abundant cash flow. It's very rare to make a fortune at this time. Besides, baozixuan is very generous in shopping. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It is likely that there will be no shop after this village. Everyone is very positive. After all, where the factory is idle, every day is a sky high cost.

Workers' wages alone are a headache for these auto giants, and the American Auto Union is a very powerful organization. Many large enterprises cannot afford the consequences of dismissing workers.

When Automotive Engineers hear about the recruitment of heiyun group, what are you waiting for? Sign up quickly. Baozixuan knew that if he wanted the horse to run, he had to eat good grass. The salaries of the branches of the whole black cloud group in all regions of the world are very high, mainly because at present, the black cloud group produces profiteering products, and many of them are in a monopoly position.

Now listen, many excellent engineers are inexplicably coming to heiyun group to enter the automotive industry on a large scale. This makes baozixuan very happy., It seems that blackcloud group is no weaker than other large companies in talent attraction, and the road will be much easier in the future.

In 1925, Walter P. Chrysler broke away from general motors and founded Chrysler. In the same year, the company bought Maxwell motors. In 1928, he bought Dodge Brothers motor company. From 1936 to 1949, it once surpassed Ford Motor Company and became the second largest automobile company in the United States. However, from the 1950s to the early 1960s, production was in a period of decline. In the mid-1960s, the company was reorganized and stabilized. After 1974, Chrysler's business went downhill again. It suffered serious losses in 1978 and was on the verge of bankruptcy in 1980. Finally, Chrysler was saved from bankruptcy by the government's $1.5 billion federal loan guarantee. It began to turn losses into profits in 1982. In 1994, the company had 115900 employees and a net profit of US $3.7 billion, accounting for 14.7% of the American automobile market.

In addition to operating civil products, the company is also engaged in the production of military products, with 10 factories engaged in national defense and aerospace industry. The company has specialized companies in export, transportation, finance, credit, leasing and insurance, and has 132 retail outlets in the United States. Headquartered in Detroit, USA, the company still has many branches in Canada, Switzerland, Britain, Panama, South Africa, Australia and other countries. In the 1980s, it co produced Cherokee Jeep with Beijing, China. Its automobile sales ranks ninth among automobile companies in the world. Its predecessor was Maxwell motor company.

The company has 36 auto manufacturers and auto parts factories, 22 parts warehouses and 10 national defense and aerospace factories in China. The company's products are divided into two categories: one is automobile products. Including finished automobiles and their parts, the company also imports and sells cars from other automobile companies. The engineering technology, design and manufacturing equipment required for production are provided by Chrysler technology center. Second, Chrysler Financial business. Chrysler Financial Institutions and their subsidiaries provide all kinds of financial services to Chrysler customers. It also provides wholesale and retail financial services, leasing services, inventory financial services and consumer credit. In addition, there are others, mainly referring to the car rental services provided by the five-star transportation company and its subsidiaries since the late 1980s.

Chrysler was acquired by German Daimler group in 1998 at a price of US $33 billion to establish Daimler Chrysler automobile company. This combination, known as "elephant marriage", failed to create a successful global automobile group. On the contrary, the high retirement cost of the United States has brought great trouble to Daimler.

In August 2007, zepsy capital management, a private equity fund led by former US Treasury Secretary snow, completed the acquisition of Chrysler and purchased 80.1% of Chrysler from Daimler Chrysler Group at a price of US $7.4 billion. After the acquisition, Chrysler will appear as "Chrysler LLC", and Daimler Chrysler Group will remove "Chrysler" from the company's name.

John Chambers is now introducing Bao Zixuan to one of the three major automobile giants in the United States. At present, the three major automobile manufacturing giants in the United States, general motors, Ford and Chrysler, are not having a good time. Chrysler's life is the most difficult.

However, it is unrealistic to buy GM and Ford's auto factories. Thin camels are bigger than horses. GM and Ford are no matter how bad they are, they will never sell auto factories. Their controlling families are terrible and do not lack money at all.

Even Chrysler baozixuan didn't plan to buy it. After all, this company has some defense contracting tasks. The US government would never agree to sell Chrysler to a Xiangjiang man. But baozixuan knew that he would never become an American in his life. There is no opportunity for the acquisition of such enterprises.

If you buy one or two factories and sub brands, it should be no problem. After all, it is also a disguised solution to the problem of workers' employment. At the same time, it can also provide funds for Chrysler to continue its life.

Bao Zixuan is only interested in three aspects of Chrysler, Dodge brand, Jeep brand and Chrysler's automobile factory.

In the previous life, it can be sold to Germans and Italians as a whole. Now it should be no problem to buy one or two sub brands and one or two automobile manufacturers.

John Chambers: "boss, at present, in the United States, only Chrysler is more in line with our requirements. There is no problem in terms of scale and technical strength. The most important thing is that they are in trouble now. This gives us a chance, but the boss can only buy Chrysler as a whole if he joins the American nationality, otherwise the Ministry of Commerce will not approve the plan. "

Baozixuan has long thought of this problem, and it is more in line with the requirements to acquire automobile sub brands and factories. He said: "although I am interested in the overall acquisition of Chrysler, it is impossible to do so at present. We are now retreating to the second place, mainly discussing the acquisition of dodge, Jeep and auto factories. "

After all, many of Chrysler's businesses related to U.S. Defense cannot be sold to me, a Xiangjiang man. Now we only need two car brands and one or two factories. I think the U.S. Department of commerce should not be embarrassed. After all, we will solve a lot of employment problems. Now the unemployment rate of American auto workers is very high.

John Chambers: "well, I'm relieved to hear that. I will immediately study the new plan proposed by the boss, but once the acquisition is reached, I hope the boss can appease Chrysler workers and make them have confidence in the acquisition of black cloud group. "

Baozixuan agreed to John Chambers's request. He also knew the impact of the American automobile trade union on workers. It would be very troublesome to appease bad workers after the acquisition. This is why many people in future generations do not want to set up factories in the United States. There may be some convenience, but the workers alone will hurt everyone.
