Chapter 878

In fact, many things can't help but make Mike Donald suspect that Ian Wright and Henry Ford II are children of an aristocratic family. And appreciate each other and trust each other more.

Although GM is the largest auto company in the United States, it has lost its family heritage. Most of the board members are investors, which is much worse than the Ford family. As a child of an aristocratic family, Ian Wright has a good relationship with the Ford family.

Hearing that the heads of the two largest car companies in the United States were like this, Ian Wright fell into meditation. Is the black cloud group pretending to be calm? In fact, they don't have any good ways.

Ian Wright: "both are leaders in the American auto industry and represent authority. It is reasonable to say that the Ministry of defense should not question the views of the two enterprises, but now there are some changes. Black cloud did not ask the military to reduce technical standards, and strongly said that it would develop new military vehicles according to the requirements of the Ministry of defense. "

"So what Secretary Weinberg meant was that he wanted to hear your views; Whether the black cloud group has mastered the unknown technology. After all, baozixuan is known as a super genius; They have high technical requirements and know how to specialize in research. "

Although the words are very implicit, the purpose is self-evident. Black cloud car didn't ask to reduce the technical standards, so things became complicated. Whether they have mastered the latest technology or are ready to give up.

This is a two-way bet. Henry Ford II and Mike Donald dare not take risks. Steamed stuffed bun Xuan is not a person who plays cards according to common sense. He often has to guard against it.

Henry Ford II: "it's incredible that heiyun automobile said it would develop new cars according to technical standards. Ford's engineering and technical team has been demonstrated for many times before. It is considered that the existing technical capacity is not enough to solve the problem of auxiliary power equipment. In other words, the battery can't meet the energy storage requirements. Is it baozixuan's confusion that makes us confused? "

The general aspect has not been discussed and the same conclusion has been reached. It's just not interesting to say. I didn't expect Henry Ford II to be so direct. It seems that he was forced to hurry.

Ian Wright: "we don't know what the black cloud group and baozixuan think. Even if we know, it will have little impact on the overall situation. Now we are talking about our own problems. Whether Ford and GM can solve technical problems; Or know who can solve the problem. In case heiyun comes up with a bidding scheme to meet the Ministry of Defense's requirements for new military vehicles; At that time, everyone will be very passive. Specialized research on technology is the last word. "

Although it is not very disappointing, Ian Wright is not satisfied with the investment and attitude of Ford and GM in technology R & D. Black clouds are making preparations, while GM and Ford are still wrangling with the Ministry of defense. This is the so-called Great American enterprise. It seems that the two enterprises have lost their blood and must be put under pressure.

Ian Wright: "what kind of person is baozixuan? You two should know. If you dare to promise, at least you are sure. GM and Ford must show their attitude and not have too much technical gap with black cloud. "

"You two should know that the technical strength of black cloud may be stronger than that of GM. Many things need to be prepared for a rainy day. We can't always follow others. "

I didn't say Ford, but I wanted to give Henry Ford II a face. After all, Ford is a banner of American cars and can't just blow morale. Besides, Henry Ford II is also a man of face, and in his capacity, not everyone can easily evaluate him.

The American general was not polite, but what others said was also very reasonable. And this also represents an attitude. It must have the meaning of secretary of defense Caspar Weinberg, and the leaders of the two enterprises have to pay attention to it.

Mike Donald: "there is news from the inside that black cloud has set up a secret R & D department. Bao Zixuan is personally in charge, and John Chambers, the head of the automobile company, only cooperates. It can be seen that the confidentiality level of this R & D team is very high. "

"Fortunately, GM has found some clues. After all, the engineers inside are not only from the interior of black cloud. Motorola; Thyssen and Krupp, Germany; And black cloud mobile phone companies are involved. "

"Judging from the information from the inside, baozixuan has made a big move. I just don't know where this R & D team is going, so let's see if the Ministry of defense can consult Motorola. "

What does that mean? It's shameless. Let the Ministry of defense come forward. Is Motorola easy to bully. If this is known by the media, Ian Wright will have to take the blame and resign. How did this man become the CEO of General Motors? He can't speak more than his head.

Ian Wright: "Donald, President, Motorola and black cloud are normal business practices. The United States is a country with free commerce, and no organization or department can interfere in normal business exchanges. The Ministry of national defense does not have such a right. We should not say such words again in the future. I'll take it as if I didn't hear it this time. I hope you can take care of yourself. "

Mike Donald felt very embarrassed. He was so worried that he didn't express what he meant. So he quickly apologized and said, "general Ian Wright, don't get me wrong. Things may be different from what you think."

"I mean, will Motorola's cooperation with black cloud reveal the secrets of communication satellites and GPS positioning technology. Motorola has a lot of military secrets; Black cloud car is not a military supplier and is not authorized. "

"In case Motorola relaxes its vigilance in order to win customers. Then the US military will suffer heavy losses and just want to take precautions. "

Ian Wright finally understood what he meant. The old boy was worried about Motorola's leak. Robert Calvin, who is more cunning than the fox, would not do such a stupid thing at all. It is obvious that the drunk's intention is not wine.

Questioning is not necessarily wrong. Let Motorola assist in the investigation; Take the opportunity to set out the specific contents of their cooperation project with heiyun, so you can know the R & D progress and status of heiyun's new military vehicle, so as to avoid being caught off guard.

Seeing Ian Wright's expression, Henry Ford II felt a door. "As a supplier of the Ministry of defense, it is normal for Motorola to cooperate with the Ministry of defense in its investigation," he said. I'm sure Robert Calvin won't say anything. He's a sensible man. "

This is for the Ministry of defense to come forward, but can this face come out! Motorola is not a small role. If Robert Calvin is dissatisfied, everyone will lose face at that time.

Ian Wright: "I understand what you mean. About the normal business relationship between heiyun and Motorola. It is impossible for the Ministry of national defense to intervene excessively. If someone investigates and inquires about GM and Ford without authorization, I believe they are uncomfortable! "

"It's still necessary to take precautions. You can appropriately remind Motorola. I will report this matter to your Excellency the Secretary of defense, so don't worry about it. "

This is obviously perfunctory and Tai Chi, and we can't force Ian Wright at this time. Many things still need his coordination. Besides, people are not easy to bully.

Mike Donald: is general Ian Wright going to the black cloud car expedition

We are all smart people. We want them to inquire about the situation. These two guys really didn't treat themselves as outsiders, but they aroused him.

Ian Wright: "the plan for the purchase of new military vehicles is to focus on GM and Ford. Chrysler, heiyun and other auto enterprises are the auxiliary. In order to improve work efficiency, several teams were sent to automobile manufacturers. "

"I personally led the team to Ford and GM, which is to pay attention to the two enterprises. Other officers are in charge. You can go and find brigadier general bout. He will go to heiyun to investigate. "

Seeing them thinking, Ian Wright knew that he was ready to make up his mind. No wonder the American auto industry will decline. How can such a leader develop and grow.

Use administrative means to hand over orders to them. Do you want to operate like this all the time. The people are not fools, and the soldiers are not so easy to cheat. It seems that we should raise some pressure on these two.

Ian Wright: "iron needs to be hard; Even if you win a temporary victory by intrigue, it is difficult to be sustainable in the long run. "

Without giving the two car enterprise leaders too much time to think about it, Ian Wright saw off the guests politely on the grounds that there was still a meeting.

Seeing the two leave, he quickly reported the situation here to Secretary of defense Caspar Weinberg. I also mentioned the Motorola issue in passing. After I got a negative answer, I didn't say anything.

In fact, Ian Wright did it deliberately, just to let Caspar Weinberg help him correct his mistakes, so that the leaders will feel that you have good control, which is also a way to protect themselves. In addition, Caspar Weinberg disagreed, which was an explanation to GM and Ford, at least not to blame him.
