Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

In fact, there are many things that make MacDonald doubtful. Ian Wright and Henry Ford II are both sons of aristocratic families. And if you appreciate each other, you will have more trust in each other.

Although General Motors is the largest automobile company in the United States, it has now lost its family heritage. Most of the board members are investors, which is far inferior to the Ford family background. As a child of an aristocratic family, it is normal for Ian Wright to have good relations with the Ford family.

Ian Wright fell into deep thought when he heard that the heads of the two largest car companies in the United States were like this. Could it be that the Heiyun Group is pretending to be calm? In fact, they have no good solution.

Ian Wright: "Both of them are leaders in the U.S. automotive industry and represent authority. Logically speaking, the Department of Defense should not question the views of the two companies, but now there are some changes. Black Cloud did not ask the military to China lowered its technical standards and strongly stated that it would develop new military vehicles in accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of National Defense."

"So Minister Weinberg wants to hear your opinions; whether Heiyun Group has mastered unknown technology. After all, Bao Zixuan is known as a super genius; he has high technical requirements and knows how to be professional. research."

Although the words were very reserved, the purpose was self-evident. Heiyun Automobile does not require lowering technical standards, so things become complicated. Are they mastering the latest technology, or are they ready to give up?

This was a hedging issue, and Henry Ford II and MacDonald did not dare to take the risk. Bao Zixuan is not a person who plays his cards according to common sense, and often has to be on guard.

Henry Ford II: "Heiyun Motors actually said that it would develop new cars in accordance with technical standards, which is simply incredible. The Ford engineering and technical team had conducted many demonstrations before. They all believed that the existing technical capabilities were not enough to solve the problem of auxiliary power equipment. Also That is to say, the battery cannot meet the energy storage requirements. Is it because Bao Zixuan has created a confusing array to make us mess up?"

Why hasn't the general aspect been discussed, and the same conclusion has been reached. I just didn't have the nerve to say it. I didn't expect Henry Ford II to be so direct. It seemed that he was being pushed into a hurry.

Ian Wright: "We have no way of knowing what Heiyun Group and Bao Zixuan are thinking. Even if we know, it will not have much impact on the overall situation. Now we are discussing our own problems. Can Ford and GM solve the technical problems; or know who It can solve the problem. If Heiyun comes up with a bidding plan that satisfies the Ministry of National Defense for new military vehicles, everyone will be very passive at that time, and specializing in technology is the last word."

Although it can't be said that he is disappointed, Ian Wright is very dissatisfied with the investment and attitude of Ford and GM towards technology research and development. Black Cloud is intensifying its efforts, while General Motors and Ford are still arguing with the Department of Defense. This is the so-called great American enterprise. It seems that the two companies have lost their blood and pressure must be put on them.

Ian Wright: "You two should know what kind of person Bao Zixuan is. If you dare to make such a guarantee, you are at least somewhat sure. GM and Ford must show an attitude and cannot have too big a technological gap with Heiyun."

"You two should know that Heiyun Auto may have stronger technical strength than General Motors. There are many things that need to be prepared for a rainy day, and you cannot always follow others."

I didn’t mention Ford because I wanted to give Henry Ford II some face. After all, Ford is a flag of American automobiles and cannot just destroy morale. Besides, Henry Ford II was also a man of shame, and with his status, not everyone could easily evaluate him.

The American general was not polite, but what he said made sense. And this also represents an attitude, which must be the intention of Defense Minister Casper Weinberg, and the heads of the two companies must also pay attention to it.

Mac Donald: "There is news from inside sources that Heiyun Motors has established a secret R\u0026D department. Bao Zixuan is personally responsible for it, and John Chambers, the head of the car company, can only cooperate. It can be seen that this R\u0026D team has a high level of confidentiality. "

"Fortunately, GM has found some clues. After all, the engineers inside are not only from within Heiyun Motors. Motorola of the United States; Thyssen and Krupp of Germany; and Heiyun Mobile Phone Company are all involved."

"Judging from the intelligence coming back from insiders, Bao Zixuan is making big moves. I just don't know where this research and development team has gone, so I'll see if the Ministry of National Defense can consult with Motorola."

What does this mean? It's a bit shameless. Let the Ministry of National Defense come forward. Is Motorola easy to bully? If this was known to the media, Ian Wright would have to take the blame and resign. How did this man become the CEO of General Motors? He couldn't talk more than he thought.

Ian Wright: "President Donald, Motorola and Black Cloud are normal business practices. The United States is a country with free business, and no agency or department can interfere with normal business transactions. The Department of Defense has no such right. In the future, It’s better not to say this kind of thing again. I’ll just pretend I didn’t hear it this time, and I hope you’ll take care of yourself.”

MacDonald felt very embarrassed. He was so anxious just now that he didn't express clearly what he meant. So he apologized quickly and said: "General Ian Wright, don't get me wrong. Things may be different from what you think."

"What I mean is that if Motorola cooperates with Heiyun, will there be any possibility of leaking communication satellite secrets and GPS positioning technology? Motorola holds a lot of military secrets; and Heiyun Automobile is not a military supplier yet and has no Be empowered.”

"If Motorola lets its guard down in order to win customers, the U.S. military will surely suffer heavy losses and is just trying to nip it in the bud."

Ian Wright finally understood what it meant. This old boy was worried about Motorola leaking secrets. Robert Calvin, who was more cunning than a fox, would never do such a stupid thing. It was obvious that the drunkard was not interested in drinking.

Doubts are not necessarily wrong. Let Motorola assist in the investigation; take the opportunity to find out the specific content of their cooperation project with Heiyun, so that you can know the development progress and status of Heiyun's new military vehicle, so as not to be caught off guard.

Seeing Ian Wright's expression, Henry Ford II felt right. He quickly followed up and said: "As a supplier to the Ministry of National Defense, it is normal for Motorola to cooperate with the Ministry of National Defense's investigation. I believe Robert Calvin will not say anything. He is a sensible person."

This is for the Ministry of National Defense to come forward, but can this come forward! Motorola is not a small player. If Robert Galvin is dissatisfied, it will not look good to everyone.

Ian Wright: "I understand what you two mean, regarding the normal business dealings between Heiyun and Motorola. It is impossible for the Ministry of National Defense to interfere excessively. If someone investigates and questions GM and Ford without authorization, I believe you two will feel uncomfortable. !”

"It is still necessary to take precautions before they happen. You can give Motorola a proper reminder. I will report this matter to the Minister of Defense, so you don't have to worry about it."

This is obviously perfunctory and Tai Chi, and we can't force Ian Wright at this time. He still needs to coordinate many things, and besides, he is not someone to be easily bullied.

Mac Donald: "Will General Ian Wright still go to Heiyun Auto to inspect?"

We are all smart people, and we want him to inquire about the situation. These two guys really didn't regard themselves as outsiders, and actually aroused him.

Ian Wright: "The purchase plan for this new military vehicle is mainly based on General Motors and Ford, with Chrysler, Heiyun and other car companies as supplements. In order to improve work efficiency, several teams were sent to inspect the car manufacturers."

"I personally led the team to Ford and GM to pay attention to the two companies. Different officers are responsible for the other companies. You can go to Brigadier General Butt and he will go to Heiyun to inspect."

Seeing the two of them deep in thought, Ian Wright knew that he was preparing to make a decision. No wonder the American auto industry is in decline. How can it grow and develop with such a leader?

Using administrative means to hand over orders to them, should we keep doing this? The people are not fools, and the soldiers are not that easy to deceive. It seems that I still need to mention something and put some pressure on these two.

Ian Wright: "You still need to be strong when you are forging iron; even if you win a temporary victory by relying on conspiracy, it will be difficult to be sustainable in the long run."

Without giving the two car company leaders much time to think about it, Ian Wright saw him off politely on the grounds that he still had a meeting.

Seeing the two people leaving, he quickly reported the situation to Defense Minister Casper Weinberg. I also mentioned something about Motorola in passing. After getting a negative answer, I didn’t say anything.

In fact, this was done intentionally by Ian Wright, who wanted Casper Weinberg to help him correct his mistakes, so that the leader would think you are easy to control, which is also a way to protect yourself wisely. In addition, Casper Weinberger disagreed, and it was an explanation to General Motors and Ford, at least they would not blame him.
