Chapter 822

Other members of the Ford family knew that what Henry Ford II decided could not be changed. Pray for the success of cooperation, on the one hand, they also have an evil side in their hearts. If it works with GM, Ford still hasn't fundamentally changed. Then they have reason to force the palace, and other members of the family will not say much.

Whether it is cooperation, success or failure! Other members of the Ford family are vested interests, which is one of the reasons why there is no objection at this time.

At this time, the board of directors of GM and the Ford family have reached a cooperation resolution, depending on how the two sides negotiate. After all, the cooperation between the two enterprises is about too much benefit distribution. And with the gratitude and resentment of the two enterprises, no one will take the initiative to make concessions, which will be a difficult process.

After talking on the phone with Henry Ford, Mike Donald came to a private club. Both of them are influential figures in Detroit. There are so many people who know them that they don't want to make trouble before the negotiations fail.

Mike Donald knows that although GM is a little stronger at this time. It is not only the scale of the enterprise, but also the higher operating rate of GM.

However, compared with Ford II, he is the weak side. Henry Ford II can make any decision on behalf of Ford, but he doesn't dare to make a full decision.

Although it has been authorized by the board of directors, some things don't dare to go too far. There must be a balance between Henry Ford II's satisfaction and GM's core interests. This balance is difficult to control.

Mike Donald came to the appointment place early to wait. Although he was unhappy, he had no good way. Who makes Ford II the boss, and he is just a senior manager.

Seeing Ford II coming, he quickly stood up and said, "Hello, Mr. Ford. I haven't seen you for a long time. Your style is still the same!"

Henry Ford II was not surprised that Mike Donald could come and wait in advance. This is Detroit. In a sense, he is the king of Detroit.

Detroit is a very special existence in the United States. The government officials here are more like a nanny. Because whether it is GM, Ford, Chrysler, or the newly rising black cloud car. There are a huge number of workers. For American civil servants, this is a vote, including the president, who dare not ignore the huge number of votes of Detroit Motor Company.

Ford has more than 200000 workers, just in the United States. More than black cloud and GM, which is the foundation of Henry Ford II.

Although the strength of the trade union in the automobile industry can not be underestimated, it should also be divided with whom. In front of big factories such as GM and Ford, the automobile trade union will also converge. If Ford and general motors are annoyed, even the Auto Union will not be easy.

The election of Detroit Mayor is more a game of major auto malls; And similar to Ford, general motors and other auto manufacturers, it doesn't matter even if they choose the wrong object; As long as they are smart people, they dare not take drastic actions against these big factories.

Henry Ford II smiled and said, "Mike, don't say that. He often can't sleep recently. People are old, and many things can't compare with you young people. In terms of energy alone, it's far worse. "

Ford II grew up in a business family and took over the company at the age of 28. What kind of compliments have you never heard of or seen. For business etiquette, the research is very thorough.

Mike Donald smiled and said, "don't say that, Mr. Ford. You're not old at all. The American auto industry still needs the Ford family, and the major auto manufacturers in Detroit still count on Mr. Ford to lead. "

Henry Ford II is only in his 60s, and age is not a problem at all. And Mike Donald is not stupid. You can't say he's old. You really think he's old.

Sure enough, Henry Ford II was very happy to hear Mike Donald say so. Even if you know what the other party said is very watery, you can still be very happy in your heart.

Henry Ford II smiled and said, "thank Mike for his approval, but don't say that in the future, otherwise it's not good to cause misunderstanding."

"You must also know what this appointment is. What are your thoughts and views on the end of the anti-monopoly investigation of heiyun group by the Ministry of Commerce?"

Now that the polite words have been finished, let's get to the point.

Mike Donald knew that Ford II wanted GM to speak first, but there was no way. Who gave Ford II a transcendent position in the American auto industry? At least no one in GM can match him.

The CEO himself is still weaker in front of others, but who makes the GM creator family out! At present, it can only be on the hardtop. At this time, no one can afford to drop the chain.

Mike Donald: "the investigation of the business department on the black cloud group has also affected the black cloud car to a certain extent. Taking this opportunity, GM's market has warmed up a little. But who would have thought that the business department would end the investigation so soon? You know, it took IBM 10 years to end the antitrust investigation. How did it turn to black cloud to become so fast? "

The U.S. business sector has made brilliant achievements in history. The standard oil company of the Rockefeller family was forced to split into more than 30 companies. You know, this is one of the most powerful families in the United States. They can't resist the antitrust investigation of the business department, which shows the strength of the antitrust investigation.

Watson's IBM just missed the dividend of personal computer and wasted 10 years.

You know, at that time, most of the world's top computer experts worked at IBM, which is the strength of others.

It's black cloud group's turn. There's a lot of thunder and little rain. Does the Ministry of commerce only engage its own people, and outsiders come to the United States to build enterprises, which makes them at a loss.

Everyone knows that black cloud group is essentially different from standard oil and IBM. At least in terms of market share, it is far behind the two companies. It's just that baozixuan develops too fast and covers a wide range of areas. People feel as if all walks of life can't avoid the black cloud group. In fact, the subsidiaries of black cloud can't form a monopoly in the market.

These competitive enterprises do not want to admit that who let the black cloud group block their way of wealth, so that everyone has no food to eat!

Henry Ford II: "the whole world knows this. I just want to hear how GM wants to deal with it."

Indeed, as Ford II said, the US Department of Commerce's antitrust investigation into the black cloud group has ended. Now the whole world knows; Don't use the plural of GM CEO here. At present, he is most concerned about the future response. It is impossible to do nothing, just eat and die!

Mike Donald also knew that Henry Ford II would not let him go easily if he didn't say anything or say anything. So he said: "the end of the antitrust investigation of the business department on the black cloud group means that the obstacles to the development of the black cloud group have been removed in the next few years. At least the obstacles of the U.S. government have been eliminated, or ignored. "

"In addition to the technical advantages of black cloud, the life of GM and Ford will not be easy. Therefore, the two enterprises must cooperate closely and can't let heiyun take advantage of the local market in the United States. "

The key is to see how to do it.

Henry Ford II: "now how to cooperate and how the two enterprises seize the market. You can't just say it with your mouth, you must take practical action. "

Mike Donald knows he can't escape, so he must make a statement first. "GM's initial plan is to combine the technical advantages of our two families to design a new car," he said

"In terms of appearance design of GM, Ford has technical advantages in the field of gearbox and engine. Therefore, we can combine the technical advantages of our two countries to design a new cost-effective car. "

"The price of this car must be lower than that of similar products of heiyun. If the price is too high, consumers will reduce accordingly. Our two enterprises should first increase the operating rate and let the workers have something to do. "

Of course, Ford II knows to solve the problem of operating rate, but it is impossible to start as soon as you say. Everything needs a process. If there is no sales volume, do you want to put it as inventory.

Henry Ford II: "we really need to give priority to solving the problem of construction; How else can we afford so many workers. But the price is lower than that of similar products of heiyun, which is difficult to do; After all, black cloud still has many cost advantages. "

I knew the old boy didn't understand what was going on. Maybe Ford II, the super rich three generations, disdained to do so. The bad guys still want him to do it, which is also Mike Donald's helplessness.
