Chen Geng still underestimated the ease with which Timsloan and others would sell AMC, and when negotiations began, Timsloan and others determined that Fernandez would really keep the vast majority of them, and after getting a specific percentage of Rosemary "not less than 80%", their creativity was completely stimulated......

"Miss Rosemary, I think you had some problems with your strategy before. ”

"Oh?" Rosemary raised her eyebrows, but she wasn't angry, but motioned to Tim Sloan, saying that there was a problem with the negotiation strategy on Fernandez's side?

"Who cares most about the outcome of this negotiation? Is it our American counterpart? Of course not, is it the shareholders of AMC? Yes, what about the workers at AMC? Of course, but it seems to me that it is the state of Michigan and the federal government of America who are most concerned about the outcome of this negotiation!" Timsloan said categorically.

Without waiting for Rosemary to reply, Timsloan continued, "Why do you say that? Because there are still more than 50,000 workers in the entire AMC, and those 50,000 industrial workers mean 50,000 American families." If AMC really goes bankrupt and goes bankrupt, how much will it affect the upstream and downstream related industries? I believe that the number of American households affected by this will not be 200,000!

Miss Rosemary, that adds up to at least 250,000 families potentially going bankrupt, and that's a huge instability, and can the Michigan government afford this? Can the federal government afford it? They can't afford it either!"

Rosemary agreed with Tim Sloan, and the Americans were indeed very unfavorable about Fernandez's move to acquire AMC.

How unoptimistic is that?

Lee Iacoca, who used to be friends with his boss but has now completely entered the passerby mode, was interviewed by reporters a few days ago, when asked by reporters about this matter, he made it clear that he was not optimistic about Fernandez's acquisition of AMC: "Yes, I am good friends with Fernandes, as you all know, the Chrysler family was designed by Fernandez for me, and Chrysler Motors quickly turned the situation around by relying on this car."

But I have to remind Fernandez that Chrysler was able to turn things around quickly, not because of the Chrysler family, but because of my genius management and management skills.

I have no doubt that Fernandez can design a few very, very good products, but if Fernandez thinks that a few very good cars can turn AMC's current situation around, then he is wrong, and the problem of AMC cars is not a product problem, but a problem of the company itself.

I'm not going to hide it, AMC has contacted us before, but I refused, and as far as I know, they have also contacted Ford Motor and General Motors, and they have all been denied.

Why did Chrysler, GM, and Ford unanimously choose to refuse? I won't say much about the inside story, but I ask you to think about it seriously, if AMC's problem is really that simple, AMC is really a not-so-high-quality asset, will Chrysler, Ford, and GM refuse? Obviously not. ”

And then when asked by reporters if he was asked to be the general manager of AMC, whether he was sure to turn around the current situation of AMC, Lee Iacocca said frankly: "I'm not sure, I'm really not sure at all, in my opinion, AMC's current situation is much worse than the original Chrysler, maybe it will succeed, but I think the probability is no more than 20%." ”

Lee Iacoca's remarks won the approval of many people.

There is a very bad habit in the United States, or in the world, that is, as long as someone succeeds, everything he says is right, and Chrysler has gotten better and better under the leadership of Lee Iacoca, and his success has proved himself, naturally, in the eyes of the media and public opinion, Lee Iacocca is not optimistic about Fernandez's acquisition of AMC's shares...... That's when Fernandez Chen, a young billionaire, really made a bad choice.

Reporters and media quickly came to the conclusion that Fernandez Chen, a young billionaire, must have been carried away by his previous success when he made the move to buy AMC.

This conclusion has even been agreed by many officials in the United States: What does it mean that so many excellent professional managers in the United States have failed to save AMC?

It shows that this enterprise has long been hopeless.

Do you Fernández think you can save AMC?

Are you kidding?!

Rosemary knew all these remarks, so she looked at Tim Sloan: "So ......"

"So, since everyone is not optimistic about Mr. Fernandez's move, and the federal and state governments are worried about the social unrest caused by AMC's bankruptcy and have to find a way to rescue AMC, why doesn't Mr. Fernández take this opportunity to his advantage?"

Take this opportunity to ask for favors from the federal and state governments?

Rosemary, who had been coordinating with the banks all this time, suddenly reacted: yes, why not take this opportunity to ask the federal and state governments for favors?!

Is this possible?

Absolutely.

In order to increase employment and attract investment, all states and cities in the United States have formulated "incentive packages" to attract foreign direct investment, covering a wide range of areas, from tax exemptions, subsidies, low-interest bonds to finance loans, as well as loan guarantees, employee training, improvement of the local investment environment, land subsidies and special lease term regulations.

In order to attract foreign investment, they even promise to open language schools to help these foreign workers and their families adjust to life in the United States.

More directly, there are all kinds of cash subsidies, such as the factory built by Honda in Ohio, not counting all kinds of tax incentives, the land capital subsidy alone has received more than 20 million US dollars, and if other subsidies are counted, the total amount is more than 55 million US dollars!

If Honda can get so many subsidies, why can't these 250,000 American families and more than 500,000 votes get subsidies? Speaking of which, AMC should get government subsidies including low-interest and interest-free loans, such as this time the technical transformation funds, which should be jointly provided by the Michigan government and the city of Detroit to provide loan subsidies for technological transformation funds.

"I see," Rosemary said sincerely, thanking Timsloan, "Mr. Timsloan, you've helped me a lot. ”

"You're welcome, that's what I'm supposed to do. Timsloan breathed a sigh of relief and said to Rosemary with a smile on his face.

He had been brewing for a long time, but now it seemed that it was worth it.

————————————

Who is most concerned about this negotiation between Fernandez and AMC Motors?

Undoubtedly, it's the city government of Detroit, it's the government of Michigan, it's the federal government of the United States.

No way, this is at least 500,000 votes, careless.

So when the news of the collapse of the talks between Fernandez and AMC Motors came, governments at all levels immediately panicked, the state and federal governments were fine, and Alex Goodrich, who was the mayor of Detroit, was forced to come to Fernandez as soon as he received the news: "Miss Rosemary, what is going on? Why did the talks collapse?"

Knowing that Alex Goodrich was the boss's person, Rosemary didn't hide anything and shrugged: "Oh, it's nothing, it's just that the boss feels a little bit of a loss." ”

"A bit of a loss?"

Alex Goodrich glared: Where did this begin?

"It's a loss," Rosemary asked, turning to Alex Goodrich, "Mr. Mayor, let me ask you a question: Is Fernandez's investment in AMC Motors an investment?"

"Of course!" Alex Goodrich nodded without hesitation.

"If AMC goes bankrupt, won't the consequences be very serious?!"

"There is no doubt about it!" Alex Goodrich's face turned a little pale at the thought of the serious consequences of AMC if it really went bankrupt.

"From the perspective of saving AMC from bankruptcy, can it be considered that this investment by the boss is equivalent to providing more than 100,000 jobs for Detroit?"

"That's right......"

"Is that the equivalent of bringing at least five or six hundred thousand votes to you, to the state government, and to the person in the White House?"

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Alex Goodrich felt like he was about to collapse, "Miss Mary, you know my relationship with my boss, so you can just say anything." ”

"Then I'll be blunt," Rosemary nodded, and was not polite: "The boss is curious, since his cooperation with AMC this time is so important, why didn't he enjoy any of the 'incentive packages' formulated by Detroit City and even Michigan to attract investment?"

“......”

Alex Goodrich was stunned: The reason why the negotiations broke down was because of this?

"That's right, that's what happened," Rosemary shrugged, "and the boss feels like he's losing a lot of money, and he's ready to end the negotiations if the government doesn't provide these subsidies, including tax exemptions, subsidies, low-interest loans and loan guarantees, employee training, land subsidies, and subsidies for technological transformation." ”

Alex Goodrich couldn't help it, "Why? No company has ever made such a request when it took a stake in another company......

"Why do you ask me?" Rosemary gave Alex Goodrich a strange look, "Just because there are at least five or six hundred thousand votes behind this, is this reason enough?"

Enough!

Alex Goodrich has a sentence in his heart that MMP wants to talk about now, but he doesn't dare: he should be honest as a mouthpiece.
