Speaking of Detroit, we have to say that the automobile manufacturing industry in the United States, as a country known as the country on wheels, the American automobile industry was once the most developed in the world, and Detroit is the headquarters of the four largest automobile manufacturers in the United States and even the world's four major automobile manufacturers, Ford, General Motors, Chrysler and America.

However, the city has risen because of cars, and it has also declined with the decline of cars, especially since the oil crisis caused by the automobile oil embargo in 1973, which has made the city directly into the cold winter and has not yet eased.

It also made the four major automobile manufacturers almost bankrupt because of their own danger, until now, although GM is crazy on the surface, it actually knows its own suffering, and then in 2009, it was finally difficult to return and could only go bankrupt and reorganize.

However, GM, which has survived the previous oil crisis in recent years, has had a good life, after all, it was not his car company that was uncomfortable at that time, but all car companies.

A few years ago, in 1995, GM sold 3 million vehicles outside of the North American market, which allowed him to lay a solid foundation one step ahead of the overall layout.

But for now, neither Ford, GM, nor Chrysler are uncomfortable, and America has fallen into the dust of history.

The impact of Japanese and South Korean automobiles, the attack of German automobiles, and the fierce eyesight of the French automobile industry. When it comes to family cars, the American Gong Automobile Company has no advantage over these national car companies.

In terms of high-end sports cars, they were pressed to death by several Italian sports car companies, and there was no achievement at all, so not to mention that even in the international market, American cars in the country are also in retreat.

The company was not making good profits, and then the company was laying off employees, not to mention expanding jobs, which further depressed Detroit's economy, and so on, and so on, knowing that the whole city filed for bankruptcy.

But after a while, the United States used its influence as the world's number one superpower in the eyes of the Chinese, and the car company returned a wave of blood in China to barely hang his life.

But compared with the previous glory, he is still pressed by Japanese, German and even Korean cars, and Yang Dongxu's goal in Detroit this time is to poach people.

In fact, it can't be regarded as poaching, because in this automobile capital with a very high unemployment rate, although you go to the street to pull a person, you may be a skilled worker in the automobile production line, and there is even a high probability that you are an automotive engineer or something. These people are almost all over the streets of Detroit, after all, almost everyone in Detroit used to work for car companies.

Yang Dongxu's target is these automotive engineers, and in addition to these automotive engineers, there are also some production lines. Of course, these car companies will definitely not sell the top production lines, but if the eliminated production lines can find a suitable opportunity to start, it is still very cost-effective to win them at a fire sale price.

Although these production lines have been eliminated, they are still quite advanced for China. It's just that some big car countries don't look down on it, not to mention that they are really eliminated as garbage.

For such a production line, whether it is Germany, Japan, or South Korea, France, their own industrial development is very high-level, and they also have their own advanced automobile production lines.

Those small companies that are interested can't afford such a car production line, so there is an opportunity for Yang Dongxu to pick up the leaks. However, if you come to buy it, you will definitely be slaughtered, and I don't know when it has become the unspoken rule of these foreign companies to directly slaughter Chinese businessmen.

So after Yang Dongxu arrived in Detroit, he did not go to the Great Automobile Company to dismiss, but first contacted Dave Bing, the owner of Dave Steel Company.

This was not introduced by Zhou Ya, but a friend of Derek. Derek, a guy who wasted his talent, if he hadn't met and finally retired due to injury, he wouldn't have made much money in the pension contract for the next few years. But he can still live a very chic life after retiring from football.

A lot of it depends on the successful businessman Dave Bean, a former NBA point guard who was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in '90 and the NBA's Top 50 Star in '96.

This guy who played well in his career, and after retiring, he made his business fly. When the American automobile company received the impact of foreign automobile companies, it devoted itself to the manufacture and stamping of automobile steel plates, and started with only an old cutting machine donated by General Motors.

It has become the 10th largest black-owned business in the United States, with an annual profit of more than $200 million, and he doesn't know how much more business he can do than he can play basketball.

"Yang?" Yang Dongxu, a black old man who had just seen an old black man looking at an old car in Detroit, was stunned for a moment, and he didn't react until the other party also greeted him with a surprised face.

"Dave?"

"It's me. Dave Bean nodded.

"Excuse me, your appearance...... I didn't recognize it just now. Yang Dongxu was a little embarrassed and stretched out his hand to shake the other party.

"It's okay, because I was busy at the company just now, so I forgot to change my clothes when I remembered to pick you up, so I should be rude. But I'm surprised by your style, Derek didn't say his friends were very rich. Dave said half-jokingly.

He was indeed a little unsophisticated in his dress, not to mention a work suit, there were a lot of oil stains on the work clothes, and if he was holding a wrench in his hand, it was estimated that everyone thought that he had just come out of the old Ford car behind him.

"Looks like Derek wants to surprise you, my car is coming. You drive in front and I'll follow behind, find a place for a drink. I specially brought you several varieties of baijiu from China, I hope you will enjoy it. Yang Dongxu smiled and gestured to the suitcase next to him.

"Haha, a great gift indeed. Dave smiled and nodded, and didn't say anything, got into his car and drove in front to lead the way. He and Derek are greedy for glasses, and naturally they like wine the most.

Yang Dongxu and his entourage sat in the back of the three Daben, but the three or two big car logos he made were not Mercedes-Benz, but Trident Maserati.

As a high-end car built in China, Daben's carriage is also very popular abroad, and he has a foreign production line, and currently impacts the American automobile market in the army of foreign automobile companies, including Mashadi.

However, compared with the full-scale invasion of other companies, Maserati takes the high-end route, whether it is a business car or a sports car, it is not something that ordinary people can consume.

Jie Chengwu and Yang Dongxu got into a car, and several bodyguards behind him, half white and half black, got into the other two cars, and then his car walked in the middle, and the other two cars protected him in the middle at the beginning of one rank.

In fact, it wasn't that Yang Dongxu wanted to talk about pomp and circumstance to give Dave Bing a deep impression. Everyone is the CEO with an annual turnover of hundreds of millions of yuan, and a few cars can't scare each other, and it is estimated that it is almost the same as driving a fighter jet.

That's why I bring so many bodyguards with me because Detroit is too chaotic now, this city that has gradually been occupied by blacks, is one of the most chaotic cities in the United States, thieves, robberies, thefts, rapes and even homicides, you may sit down in a street café and have a cup of coffee and someone will rob the cashier with a gun.

When the security was at its worst, even cars passing through the city did not dare to stop at all except at red lights. Seeing someone stopping the car, it was definitely not to stop and ask the other party what they were doing, but to hit it directly with one foot on the accelerator.

That's why he brought a lot of bodyguards with him on this trip, otherwise he wouldn't be at ease if he didn't worry about it, he wouldn't be at ease himself. After all, the United States is a country where guns are rampant.

Dave Bean didn't drive long in front of him, or they didn't go into the city at all. Now Detroit has become the most chaotic and worst place since the major car companies moved out, and the suburbs are relatively safe and prosperous. And they stopped at a mid-range restaurant that looked pretty good.

"I'm a little hungry, the burgers in this restaurant taste very good, do you want to eat some?" Dave Bing said as he drove the car into the parking lot, but saw a group of big men coming down with Yang Dongxu: "Why don't you go in and bring you some if you want to eat, let's go somewhere else to talk?"

Seriously, Dave Bing is a little uninterested in Yang Dongxu, this is a Chinese face who has always been easy to bully in the United States, with a group of bodyguards to show him? If it weren't for the fact that he and Derek really have a really good relationship, he would have turned around and left a long time ago, and he didn't want to do such a fork-loading guy's business.

"Let's go in and eat, I'm hungry too, and the plane meal is really not good. Yang Dongxu said with a smile, and then turned his head sideways to signal to reveal Chengwu.

wholeheartedly waved his hand and followed Yang Dongxu in person, while the white and black bodyguards got into the car again. They have headsets in their ears, and if something happens in the restaurant, they will be notified to rush in immediately.

Walking side by side with Dave, this old black man who used to be a professional NBA player is no bigger than him. Walking into the burger joint, the two of them lined up to buy good things and found an empty seat to sit down.

"Re-introduction, Yang Dongxu, the owner of the 76ers team, I don't think Derrick should have told you about this surprise. ”

After sitting down, he took the hamburger and prepared to eat, planning in his heart that no matter what the Chinese in front of him said, he would deal with it himself and then leave directly, and call Derek, an unreliable guy, when he turned around, and asked him to introduce these young people who only know how to be in the limelight in the future Dave who he knew heard Yang Dongxu's stunned moment.

I forgot to bite into the burger that had been opened, and then the burger in my hand fell back to his plate with a click, "Who do you say you are?"

"The owner of the 76ers team is also Derrick's owner, Yang Dongxu. He said with a smile, then glanced embarrassedly at the table next to him and said apologetically: "I heard before I came that Detroit is very messy, and Chinese Americans seem to be very good targets for bullying in the eyes of Americans, so ......"
