Rosemary found it a little hard to believe, she could think of why her boss would make such a judgment, but ......

"Isn't it normal for us, as a third party, to have a cooperative relationship with both of them," Rosemary felt that her boss's judgment was a bit incomprehensible: "Even if Mr. Lee Iacocca has a grudge against Mr. Henry Ford for sweeping him away, how could he affect the development of the company because of his professional preference?"

If Lee Iacocca really has a small belly to this extent, he is qualified to be the CEO of Chrysler Motors?;

On the other hand, any large company is extremely careful in the selection of its own CEO, in order to ensure the interests of shareholders, will be subjected to a series of rigorous tests on candidates before officially taking office, if Lee Iacocca is found to have such a tendency during the test, Chrysler's board of directors will allow such a guy who brings personal emotions into his work at every turn, and let personal emotions affect the interests of the company, become the CEO of Chrysler Motors?

Chen Geng pursed his lips: "Normally, this is the case, but there are always some exceptions, don't forget, don't forget under what circumstances Chrysler Motors chose Lee Iacocca to become the company's CEO, and under what circumstances Lee Iacocca took office." ”

"Is that so......

Rosemary frowned and wanted to refute, but suddenly found that she couldn't find a reason to refute for a while: at that time, Chrysler Motors owed billions of dollars in foreign debt to the bank, and the company was on the verge of bankruptcy.

And Lee Iacoca, as the CEO of Ford Motor, was kicked out of Ford by Henry Ford like a dog when he was at his most proud, how could he not hold a grudge against Henry Ford?

Previously, Lee Iacocca wanted to vent his resentment and had no opportunity or place, but now it is different, thinking of Lee Iacocca who frequently appeared on television, radio, newspapers and other media for interviews, and talked about how he saved Chrysler cars from fire and water with great courage and perseverance, Rosemary couldn't help but put a question mark on Lee Iacoca's approach: Could this be Mr. Lee Iacocca showing off and provoking Mr. Henry Ford in this way?

I can't say this for sure, but I can't rule it out.

Thinking of this, Rosemary asked Chen Geng worriedly, "What should I do then?"

"It's easy," Chen Geng smiled, "Mr. Henry Ford must be very upset to see Lee Iacocca jumping up and down and struggling everywhere now, right?"

Not only was it very unpleasant, but Rosemary felt that every time she saw Lee Iacocca on TV, she had an urge to go straight into the TV and strangle that bastard. She laughed too: "So you mean ......"

"I mean, get the full-scale clay model of the Victoria Crown and the wooden model of the cockpit as soon as possible, and a lot of things will be easy to talk about. Chen Geng smiled and said - Lao Mei is not good at this point, he doesn't know how to hide his emotions, and he will be rampant when he is proud, what do you think about Comrade Lao Li, Chrysler Motors has just improved a little, you are so embarrassed, can't you wait for the situation to stabilize for a while......?

The dog can't hold lard in its belly.

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

Henry Ford was really unaccustomed to Lee Iacocca's tricks in various media, and was very unhappy with it, and when he received a call from Chen Geng, saying that he would quit a group of people from the Ford Motor Design Institute to make a 1:1 scale clay model of this car and a 1:1 scale wooden model of the passenger compartment, he agreed very happily, and immediately said that he could send 20 people to help.

At the end, Henry Ford couldn't help the excitement and anticipation in his heart, and asked Chen Geng, "Fernandez, have you named this car?"

Chen Geng smiled: "It's your right to name this car, but before that, I called this car 'Victoria Crown', and I think it would be more appropriate to attribute this car to Ford's LTD series." ”

"Victoria's crown?"

Hearing this name, Henry Ford's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but say, "Good name!"

Of course, it's a good name, but Ford is really not good at giving its own products a nice name (maybe they don't care), in short, to Henry Ford, the name "Victoria Crown" sounds better than any E-class, F-class, Model T and the like, I don't know how much, I don't know how much higher the B grid is - if he knew that in a few months, they would call a car in their LTD series this name, I don't know what to think in his heart.

Henry Ford, who felt that the name tasted more and more he touched it, couldn't get enough of the name "Victoria Crown", and he quickly decided: "Fernandez, make a price, I decided to use this name as the official name of this car." ”

"No problem, I've got you. Chen Geng said happily.

Henry Ford, who waited for a few seconds and didn't wait for Chen Geng to open the bidding code, couldn't help but ask, "Then the price ......?"

"It's free," Chen Geng said with a smile: "You can treat it as a free gift from your partner." ”

"That'...... You're welcome," Henry Ford really liked the name, and when he heard Chen Geng say this, he didn't shirk it, and said happily: "When the clay model and wooden model are ready, you must remember to inform me." ”

This means that you will be able to see the full-size sedan named "Victoria Crown" for the first time, and it can also be seen from this point how much Henry Ford expects this car and how impatient he is to teach Lee Iacocca a lesson: your boss will always be your boss!

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

Rosemary brought Chen Geng not too good news: Chrysler officially rejected Fernandez's request to purchase the technology and patents for the automatic transmission.

Chen Geng nodded, after dragging on for so long, this result actually didn't surprise him, he was just a little curious: "What is Chrysler's reason for refusal?"

Chrysler said it is not considering selling its automatic transmission technology to outsiders for the time being. ”

"Don't you think about it yet?"

"Hmm," Rosemary nodded, a hint of mockery on her face. "But they also said that if we at Fernandez need to purchase an automatic transmission, they can provide it to us at the best price.

By the way, I still haven't been able to get in touch with Lee Iacoca, who was told to me by Chrysler's vice president, Mark. ”

Previously, Rosemary was skeptical of her boss's statement that "Chrysler refused to sell the automatic transmission technology to Fernandez because Lee Iacocca was unhappy with Fernandez's cooperation with Ford Motor", and felt that with Lee Iacoca's ability, this should be unlikely, but when she called Lee Iacocca several times, Lee Iacoca's secretary said "Sorry, Mr. Iacocca is in a meeting right now" or "Sorry, Mr. Iacocca is busy" After the reason was refused, Rosemary knew that Lee Iacocca had really refused to sell the automatic transmission technology to Fernandez because of this ridiculous reason.

Chen Geng was not surprised by this result, and nodded: "It's normal, I said it before." ”

"Well," Rosemary nodded, and continued, "but Mark hinted to me that if we really wanted to get the transmission from Chrysler's road, it wouldn't be out of the question......"

"But the premise is not to cooperate with Ford Motor, right?" Before Rosemary finished speaking, Chen Geng smiled.

Rosemary also smiled: "Almost, although it didn't say it so directly, but that's what it meant in and out of the words...... Boss, I think Chrysler has been a little swollen lately, and I don't want to think that they can crawl out of that muddy pit, who relies on whose help? In the words of you Huaxia people, what do they do is ...... It's ......"

"Grace will take revenge. ”

"Yes, yes, that's it, En will take revenge," Rosemary nodded immediately: "Your Chinese idiom is really appropriate...... These bastards, I don't want to think about it, if you hadn't designed such a good car for them in the first place, would they have been able to get out of the crisis so quickly?"

"Don't think so," Chen Geng looked at it quite openly, he waved his hand and said: "They give money, we give design, no one owes anyone, although Chrysler relies on the products we design to get out of the quagmire, but you also have to see that they have paid a huge price that no other OEM is willing to pay...... I can understand Mr. Lee Iacoca's desire to tie us to Chrysler. ”

But understanding is one thing, whether Lao Tzu is happy or not, whether he is happy or not is another thing, if you want to tie Lao Tzu to your Chrysler's body, to your Lee Iacoca's body, you have to be willing to do it.

Rosemary read her boss's expression, so she waited expectantly for her boss's next decision.

"Since people are not happy, we can't force it," Chen Geng said: "You can contact Ford again, ask them if they are willing to sell us the technology and patents of automatic transmissions, well, tell them that they can directly deduct our design fee share." ”

Rosemary's eyes lit up: That's a good idea.
