v2 Chapter 828： emergency to the United States

GM, Ford, and the U.S. Department of Defense have reached an agreement, and the next step is to convince Black Cloud Auto. Of course, there are still some preparatory work to be done, such as the bidding process.

Although it's just a pretense, there must be a proper program. American taxpayers' money is not so easy to earn, and many aspects must be open and transparent, at least on the surface.

Compared with internal bidding, General Ian Wright knows that his job is the hardest. Bao Zixuan looks more polite on the surface, but when it really involves core interests, no one will give face.

In fact, this is also normal. After all, if the businessman takes too much into consideration, the business will not be able to do much.

The US government wants to replace active military vehicles, which is the most shocking news in recent times. At this time, during the Cold War, the competition between the United States and the Soviet Union was very fierce. It can be said that any major move by either side will affect the nerves of the whole world.

With such a high-profile announcement by the United States to replace active military vehicles, the Soviet side will definitely respond. After all, the United States is their main opponent, and any major moves by the United States are basically aimed at the Soviet Union.

Replacing military vehicles is not as deterrent as developing new missiles and aircraft. The arrogant Soviets do not want to fall behind the United States. Soon there were corresponding plans; several major national automobile manufacturers began to develop new military vehicles to meet future strategic needs.

John Chambers called and said the U.S. Department of Defense wanted Black Cloud to participate in the bid. This made Bao Zixuan somewhat incomprehensible. Although the Jeep brand used to be a supplier to the US military, after the completion of the acquisition of Heiyun, it has cut off contact with the US military.

And at the beginning of the acquisition, in order to avoid trouble, the military department was deliberately spun off. How could Heiyun Auto be invited to bid? There must be a conspiracy here.

Could it be that he used to accompany the prince to study and be a company that accompanies the bid. Ian Wright personally came to Detroit to meet with John Chambers, indicating that the invitation to Bao Zixuan was what Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberg meant. This is a bit intriguing, after all, the Black Cloud Group and the Ministry of Defense have little friendship.

The Ministry of National Defense has issued an invitation, and it is reasonable to go to see it. It is best to get the order, if you can't get the order; it doesn't matter, after all, Heiyun Auto's existing orders are already tight. Fortunately, the factories in Brazil and Shanghai have been put into use, which relieved some of the pressure to a certain extent.

Recently, Bao Zixuan did not go out in Japan, and media reports made him famous in Japan. It should be seen that the merchants have already met, and it is not easy to recruit some professional talents in the past. The goal of the richest man is too big, and now major Japanese companies are already guarding him.

These days, I basically stay at the company, or recuperate at my residence. Since entering 1983, he has not had a good rest. Taking advantage of this opportunity, it is possible to adjust the state well.

Next year and the next year will be a critical moment, and the international situation will change many times. In fact, before the disintegration of the Soviet Union, it was a very critical node, and it depends on whether the opportunity can be grasped.

Leisure time is always short, receiving an invitation from the US Department of Defense. It must be passed. Although I know that winning the bid is unlikely, I still have to give the face that should be given.

In early October 1983, Bao Zixuan set off for the United States together after two years.

It is very different from two years ago. Although it was very famous at that time, it was still worse in terms of hard power. At this time, it is completely different. The Black Cloud Group has become the largest industrial enterprise in the world. No matter where you go to any country, you will enjoy almost the same treatment as the head of a small country.

In order to show fairness, the US government deliberately announced the invitation of Bao Zixuan to come over to negotiate. It really made the media excited. On American soil, there has been no first-hand news of Bao Zixuan for a long time.

The richest man Bao has not been to the United States in the past two years. Although he has done a lot of great things, the reports about him are even more legendary. But it doesn't seem to have much to do with Americans, and this time is completely different. The purchase of military vehicles by the Department of Defense is related to the national strategic security of the United States. It is closely related to the interests of Americans, and almost all the people are watching.

Bao Zixuan took a special plane from Tokyo International Airport in Japan and came directly to Washington, the capital of the United States. The refitted Heiyun 919 airliner perfectly carried out the flight mission, which is the most gratifying thing for Bao's richest man.

At this time, the technical strength of Heiyun in the aviation field is already much stronger than that of Huaxia in later generations. If there is a breakthrough in the superjumbo airliner project, there will be one less area for US sanctions.

After a 14-hour long flight, Bao Zixuan finally arrived in Washington, the capital of the United States.

Knowing that the Heiyun Group Bao Zixuan was coming, almost all the media were waiting at the airport. Everyone wants first-hand news, because it means promotion and salary increase.

John Howard was on guard at the airport. Too many people came over. If the boss had a problem, he couldn't bear it.

He originally wanted to keep a low profile, but the actions of the US Department of Defense made him incomprehensible. The richest man Bao did not go through the VIP channel, but walked out of the normal channel directly.

Many American people are very dissatisfied with the participation of Heiyun Automobile in the bidding. It is believed that Heiyun Automobile does not belong to American companies, and allowing foreign companies to participate in national defense engineering projects is easy to leak secrets and is not conducive to national security.

He just wanted to tell Americans in an open and honest way that Heiyun is the best auto company in the world, and it has nothing to do with which country it belongs to. If you must think that giving the order to Heiyun Auto is to leak state secrets, then there is no way.

John Howard quickly surrounded Bao Zixuan. The boss has not come to the United States for two years. The past two years have been relatively leisurely, which made him a little worried with a high salary. Today, I can continue to serve the boss, but I dare not be careless.

When the reporter saw Bao Zixuan coming, he quickly surrounded the people. This is the best chance to get up close, if nothing is asked. Next time I'm at Zhi Bun Zi Xuan, I might have to wait until when.

John Howard brought over 20 security personnel, all of whom were elites, and each was a powerful master of Kong Wu. The eight personal bodyguards of Bao's richest man are one in a thousand. Therefore, although the number of reporters was large, they could not get into Bao Zixuan's side at all.

Seeing that he was surrounded, he knew that these uncrowned kings would not let him leave easily without saying anything. Bao Zixuan said with a smile, "Don't crowd, everyone, I will answer you three questions. There are only three, and I will choose three reporters to ask questions. When there is a chance next time, the Black Cloud Group will hold a press conference, I hope everyone can understand. "

Although it was a private jet, it took more than ten hours to fly. He definitely needs a good rest. This is still the youngest man. If he is a slightly older rich man, he may be struggling to walk at this time.

The Boston Post reporter got the first opportunity to ask questions, which made everyone feel that Bao Zixuan really did not forget his roots.

The Boston Post reporter said excitedly: "First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Bao for his recognition of our newspaper. You are here for the purchase of military vehicles. I would like to know what the Black Cloud Group thinks about the US military vehicle plan. At the same time, there are also I want to ask you a personal question, are you going to Boston this time?"

That's two questions, but more like one. The first question is about the procurement of military vehicles, which is easy to understand. After all, the public also wants to know what the attitude of Bao Zixuan is. The second question is more like the concern between friends. From a certain point of view, MIT is another home of Bao Zixuan.

The richest man Bao said with a smile: "It is imperative to upgrade military vehicles Technology is advancing. Let soldiers use weapons with superior performance, which will definitely improve the combat effectiveness of the troops. Therefore, the starting point of this plan is very good, at least for It's a huge inspiration for soldiers."

"This time I came to the United States suddenly, and I haven't thought about whether it will pass. But I haven't come back for two years. As long as I have time, I will definitely go to see it. There are many old friends still in Boston, and it is reasonable. Come visit."

It can be said that Bao Zixuan's answer is quite satisfactory, very standard and formulaic. However, when he said that he would go to Boston, the reporter thought that there would be a chance; Bao's richest man was not a man without a target.

The second chance Bao Zixuan gave to the Washington Post reporter, after all, this is their home court. The face that should be given should still be given, otherwise, it will definitely not let you stop in the past few days.

Washington Post reporter: "Mr. Bao, hello! The military has listed Heiyun Auto as a buyer, and many people are worried that it will damage the national security of the United States. After all, Heiyun Auto is a Hong Kong enterprise, and you are not an American. , what do you think about this?"

This is a bit of a slap in the face. What does the Washington Post mean? At this time, everyone was waiting for Bao Zixuan's answer, and they all wanted to see how the young rich man would respond.
