Chapter 826

When Mike Donald finished, old Edelman knew what the GM president meant. This is to let Edelman lobby the military to replace military vehicles and win orders for them.

And it is definitely not a small fight, otherwise GM's own strength is enough. No wonder they attach so much importance to it and even do not hesitate to unite with their previous biggest competitors. It seems that GM and Ford have great plans.

Old Edelman said seriously, "it can make President Mike pay so much attention and unite with Ford. There must be a big move, but I don't know what effect you want to achieve. "

As the world's largest public relations company, of course, it has participated in the public relations work of U.S. military procurement. Moreover, several internal executives have worked in the Ministry of defense before, so it can be said that they are familiar with these things.

Mike Donald: "Mr. Edelman should have paid attention to the major automobile manufacturers in the United States. You should also know what is the status now. At present, GM and Ford are in a difficult situation. If they don't get orders from the Ministry of defense, they are likely to close some factories. "

"GM has achieved some results before, but now there are many variables. Other auto manufacturers in the United States will not agree that GM will eat alone, especially Ford will block it. "

"Fortunately, an agreement was reached with Henry Ford II yesterday, no matter how many military vehicles the U.S. military replaced. All of them are based on general accounting for 55%; Ford accounts for 35%; The remaining 10% will be handed over to other auto manufacturers. "

"Our two families hope that the US military can retire all military vehicles. Of course, it can't be completed at once. You can take several steps, but it's best not to take more than a year. "

Old Edelman was shocked to hear that he wanted the US military to retire all military vehicles. As one of the countries with the largest military in the world, the number of military vehicles is definitely the first in the world.

With so many military vehicles retired at once, the national defense budget simply can't pass. This requires a huge amount of money. Even if it is stronger than the U.S. military, it is impossible to spend such a huge amount of money at once. Even if you can barely take it out, you should understand the principle of equal distribution of interests.

The position and role of the army in the future war are declining. How can the Ministry of defense agree to replace so many military vehicles for them.

Old Edelman: "I'm not afraid of your jokes. It's beyond the scope of general ability. Public relations companies are not omnipotent. The US military has more than 300000 transport vehicles; The price of each unit is calculated according to US $100000, and the cost alone is more than US $30 billion, or even more. "

"After all, some vehicles need to be equipped with other equipment, and the overall cost may exceed $50 billion."

"The Ministry of defense will not agree to spend so much money on the army within one year. You know, this is not a missile and can not play a strategic deterrent role. In other words, changing to a vehicle is not the most urgent thing at present. "

"With Edelman's public relations ability, plus the influence of Ford and GM. It is expected that 100000 military vehicles can be replaced, which should be the best result. "

Although old Edelman wanted to make money, he also knew that if all American military vehicles in active service were replaced; The public relations fee charged will definitely be astronomical. But not all money can be earned. His analysis is more in line with the actual situation. But if only one-third were replaced, GM and Ford would not come to public relations companies for help.

With the strength of the two countries, combined with the situation of the American automobile industry; As well as the excellent performance of general Hummer, the Ministry of defense will still give some face.

Mike Donald smiled and said, "of course, I know it's very difficult to replace all military vehicles, otherwise it's impossible to ask you out of the mountain to help coordinate. Maybe we can really get things done together. There is no absolute word about anything! "

Old Edelman thought for a moment and said, "it may be the best result to replace half of the military vehicles. In many cases, unless God comes to America“

If there is no particularly effective way to get the US military to agree to replace half of its military vehicles, it may already be the limit. Mike Donald has made a careful plan for a long time. How can he meet half the order!

Mike Donald: "at present, most of the vehicles used by the U.S. Army are produced by Jeep brand. At this time, Jeep does not belong to the United States in a strict sense. More directly, it is not controlled by Americans at all. "

"Then there is no possibility that they are trying to win military orders, which becomes a difficult problem. How to help the existing vehicles when they have problems; Do you want foreign engineers to help the U.S. military repair vehicles. Peace is good. Once the country enters a state of war, it can only be the brave and fearless United States soldiers. "

"Because an enterprise changes its controlling shareholder, it brings unnecessary losses to the U.S. military; Shouldn't baozixuan bear some responsibility! "

"Before, the black cloud group bought a lot of outdated products in warehouses in the Soviet Union. Now it just allows them to solve problems for the U.S. military."

Hearing this, old Edelman felt that GM and Ford were shameless. He not only wanted to receive military orders, but also wanted heiyun group to help them take away their old cars. This is taking advantage. It's not enough. It's shameless.

However, after careful analysis, I feel that the scheme is very feasible.

Baozixuan has a good relationship with China and the Middle East. It can take the car back and sell it to these two places. In this way, the people who get benefits can't say more, and the taxpayers won't react much.

La Edelman: "Edelman company has taken over this case and will go all out to let the military retire all Jeep brand military vehicles."

This is not only a challenge for Edelman, but also an incentive for old Edelman. It was a perfect curtain call for him to end his career by replacing all military vehicles by the U. S. military.

The U.S. Department of defense is a department under the government of the United States of America. Its center is the Pentagon, and the leader of the Department of defense is the U.S. Secretary of defense. Under U.S. law, ministers are civil servants. The U.S. Department of defense was established on September 18, 1947, formerly known as the U.S. Department of war, headquartered in the Pentagon.

The Department of defense is the supreme leadership of the United States armed forces. The service department is the highest administrative leading organ of each service, which is responsible for personnel and administrative management, force formation, combat readiness training, military service mobilization, weapons and equipment development and procurement, logistics support, etc. The current system of the U.S. Department of defense consists of the office of the Secretary of defense, the Joint Chiefs of staff, three service departments, 10 joint operations commands, 16 bureaus and 6 professional institutions under the Department of defense.

The Secretary of defense has the office of the Secretary of defense, which is assisted by the deputy secretary and deputy ministers, deputy ministers, assistant ministers and deputy assistant ministers in different fields, including procurement, scientific research, logistics, supervision, finance, intelligence, personnel and policy.

Edelman's strong public relations ability was perfectly demonstrated. At this time, various departments of the U.S. Department of defense had basically agreed to replace all military vehicles. You know, not everyone dares to agree to such a big purchase contract.

Although it is mainly the army that purchases transportation vehicles, it is necessary to reduce the military expenditure of the Navy and air force after all. If the two services disagree, even if the army wants to replace them all, the project will be stranded due to lack of funds.

Military expenditure is fixed every year unless special circumstances arise. Otherwise, the president has no right to increase military spending at will. After all, it is the money of all taxpayers.

Old Edelman used almost all the relationships he could use this time, but he didn't want to leave regret for himself. That's what I said, but the old man worked so hard for the sake of money. After all, if this order can be completed, Edelman's actual net income will reach 9 digits.

Therefore, after the two sides reached an agreement, Edelman began to make full public relations on the replacement of military vehicles in the United States. It can be said that they do everything, which is why they can come to the Ministry of defense to negotiate in less than a week.

So efficient that Mike Donald exclaimed that it was impossible. We should know that we have made a deal with the Ministry of national defense before, and it is impossible to come to the Ministry of national defense to negotiate such a large order without a month; Professionals are different.

Henry Ford II was even more incredible. He had never expected that the US military would agree to retire all military vehicles. It is also the attitude of running for a dead horse to be a living horse doctor. Everyone is happy with success, and failure does not have much loss for Ford.

Now I see old Edman and Mike Donald next to me and think they are really capable. Such a difficult thing is about to succeed. It seems that some money can't be saved. The existence of public relations companies must have its value.

Old Edelman smiled and said, "all joints have been opened. Next, we will see the performance of the two. After all, the military should also come up with enough theoretical basis to explain to the people, so that taxpayers can not feel that the money is not worth it! "
