"Dude, have the people of Dongying ever looked for you?" said Bill Ford's voice on the phone.

Chen Geng didn't answer, but asked rhetorically, "What's the matter?

"You're right," Bill Ford said happily, "It's Toyota's president, Tatsuro Toyoda, who just left." ”

Chen Geng chuckled, he could feel Bill Ford's pride, and asked, "I'm begging you for mercy, right?"

"You're right," said Bill Ford, cheerfully, "that old fellow's waist is going to break......"

Chen Geng suddenly interrupted Bill Ford's words and asked, "Bill, you won't really be moved by the Dongying people, and you're going to let them go, right?"

"How is that possible? Fernandez, don't make such a joke!" Bill Ford was startled and hurriedly said, "How could I do such a stupid thing?"

Thinking that over the years, Ford has almost completely failed to enjoy the dividends of the expansion of the US automobile consumer market, and is the second largest automaker in the United States, but in the past ten years, the size of the American automobile consumer market has nearly doubled, but the total sales of Ford have only increased by less than 200,000 units, which is a shame!

Who has robbed these new markets?

Although the four major U.S. automakers have all gained a certain share of the new shares, the largest piece of meat is still snatched by AMC and Dongyingren.

Fernandez Chen is a shareholder of AMC Motors, and Bill Ford has nothing to say about AMC, but Dongying people have stolen so much of the market, so I have to take this opportunity to talk to Dongying people.

"It's good that you don't think so," Chen Geng said, "I thought you were moved by the 'sincere' bow of the Dongying people, and you were ready to let them go." ”

"Absolutely not!" Bill Ford said immediately, "Dude, don't worry, I still remember the faces of the Dongying people before." ”

"Just remember," Chen Geng nodded: "Brother, let's sit together in the past two days, I think we can consider opening up the European battlefield." ”

"Open up the European theater?" Bill Ford was a little surprised: we hadn't discussed opening up the European theater before.

But in the next second, Bill Ford instantly made a clever move: yes, although the countermeasures discussed before were all formulated based on the reconquest of lost territory in the United States "battlefield", but now the situation in the North American "battlefield" is very good, and the good cannot be better, since the situation in the North American "battlefield" is better than everyone expected, then why can't we open up the European "battlefield".

Patting his head, Bill Ford was a little annoyed: No wonder Fernandez can become the richest man, but I can't, in terms of brain, I do seem to be a little worse than Fernandez Chen.

For the first time, Bill Ford admits that he is not as smart as Chen Geng.

"Yes, open up the second battlefield in Europe," Chen Gengke didn't know that at this moment, Bill Ford had already figured it all out, and he said to Bill Ford over the phone: "Bill, we have a lot of ancient business wisdom in China to describe the situation we are facing now: it is advisable to chase the poor bravely, beat the water dogs, and not give the enemy any chance to turn over...... Dude, now is a rare opportunity, the little devil is now being pressed to the ground by us and exploding, we should take advantage of our good opportunity to take advantage of the all-round advantage......"

"I agree. Bill Ford said.

"Take advantage of this great opportunity...... What are you talking about?" Chen Geng said so excitedly that when Bill Ford agreed all of a sudden, Chen Geng, who was foaming at the mouth with excitement, didn't hear clearly for a while.

"I said, I agree with your point of view of opening up the European battlefield," Bill Ford was also a little excited: "Fernandez, you are right, now is the perfect opportunity for us to open up the European battlefield, let us continue to work hard and beat the damned Dongying people down in Europe!"

As one of the world's top three world-class automobile giants, Ford Motor has long been rooted in Europe, not only placing Ford's European company directly in Cologne, Germany, but also establishing a European R&D center.

Many fans will say that there are two Fords in this world, one is the American Ford and the other is the European Ford, which of course does not mean that the European Ford is independent from within the Ford Group, but it shows that the autonomy of the European Ford is huge, but over the years, Japanese cars have also been attacking the city on the European battlefield, squeezing a lot of Ford car market share.

"OK," Chen Geng nodded, "Then let's meet and discuss how to fight this battle in Europe." ”

The share of AMC cars in the European market has not been affected much, on the one hand, AMC entered the European market relatively late, and when it was about to run out of food in its hometown of the United States, where did it still have the mind and energy to go to Europe?; on the other hand, with several models customized by Chen Geng for the European market, it is difficult for AMC cars to become popular in Europe.

However, since the 90s, AMC's growth rate and market share in the European market have also slowed down significantly, and one of the big reasons is the rapid development of Japanese cars in the European market.

Chen Geng's idea is very simple, since he has beaten the Dongying people in the American battlefield, there is no reason not to take advantage of the current low morale of the Dongying people to pursue the victory.

..............................

Before everyone made an appointment to meet, Elliot Richardson called Chen Geng, and he didn't sell anything to Chen Geng, and said directly: "Fernandez, I contacted Atas Company, they are very interested in your suggestion, but they have a question." ”

"Oh?" Chen Geng's interest suddenly came: "You say, what's the problem?"

Elliot Richardson said: "If they buy planes from you, can the supply of spare parts and even weapons and ammunition be guaranteed?"

The Warsaw Pact and NATO are different in terms of the caliber and standard of weapons and ammunition, and NATO, led by the United States, uses the imperial standard, for example, the caliber of the machine gun is 0.5 inches (12.7 mm), the weight of the bomb is 250 pounds, 500 pounds, and the caliber of the light torpedo is 13 inches (324 mm).

The caliber of weapons in the Soviet Union, except for some of them 7.62mm and 12.7mm for historical reasons, such as the weight of bombs and the caliber of artillery, are mostly measured in metric "millimeters".

The reason for this is also very simple, that is, to avoid when on the battlefield, one's own weapons or ammunition become a supplement to the enemy, and even if the enemy captures his own weapons or ammunition, they cannot directly use them on their own weapons.
