Carlos Ghosn is an absolutely magical figure, and what happened to him was the most confusing.

Born in Brazil, this Liberaunse Gaul has the nationality of Dongying, Liberan, and Gaul, and people may not know this name in other industries, but in the automotive industry, Carlos Ghosn is definitely a famous name, and people give him the nickname: cost killer.

Almost any car company that is about to die will come back to life in his hands.

His earliest success was with the Michelin Group.

At that time, Michelin Brazil had just experienced the second oil crisis, and the entire branch was in debt, so Carlos Ghosn went to fight the fire, revitalized Michelin Brazil in three years, and by the way, built Michelin Brazil into the most profitable branch of the entire Michelin Group.

In 1997, Renault experienced a bankruptcy crisis, which is understandable.

Although Renault is famous, it is also a 'state-owned enterprise'------ and those who say that there is no state-owned enterprise in the country can shut up.

Renault had supplied weapons to Germany during World War II, so it became a state-owned enterprise after World War II.

What are the characteristics of state-owned enterprises? Every day when you open your eyes, you ask the government for money, and it is not easy to hold on until the 90s!

By 1996, the Gallic side could not bear it anymore and finally began to release most of Renault's shares to privatize it, and it was during this period that Ghosn joined Renault and rose to the rank of vice president, responsible for purchasing, production and research and development. As soon as it came up, it cut the cost of 1.5 billion US dollars, cut expenses everywhere, closed the subsidiary and actively expanded the European market, and saved Renault again.

It was at this time that Ghosn gained a reputation as a 'cost killer'.

The same was true of Nissan Motor in those days, when Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., which had experienced the third oil crisis, lost money for seven consecutive years, and at that time Nissan Motor sold 46 models in its own country, and only three of them were profitable! The entire company had a debt of 2 trillion yuan! It could only file for bankruptcy and start 'selling itself.'

It's a pity that the process was not smooth, first I found Ford, but at that time Ford had just bought Mazda and had no money to buy Nissan, and then I went to Mercedes-Benz, and the two sides fell apart. At that time, Nissan cars were similar to street rats.

After all, investors are very realistic, don't you buy up or down?

At that time, Renault was a small company Renault------ at that time, Renault was too far worse than Nissan regardless of sales, scale, and fame, Ghosn staged a beautiful 'rat swallowing elephant', Renault spent 5.4 billion to become the largest shareholder of Nissan Motor, and then Ghosn led a management team of 17 people to parachute into Dongying to manage Nissan Motor, and this time' The cost killer's work is even more vigorous: the salary standard is reformulated, the supplier only talks to the lowest price, just after going to Dongying, he closes down five factories, lays off 21,000 people, reduces the number of design platforms to 15, leaves only 600 suppliers of 13,000, and reduces the cost of a Nissan car by 40 percent! Moreover, he vigorously developed the Han market, and it only took two years for Nissan to start making a profit again.

Later, Ghosn took advantage of Mitsubishi's fuel consumption fraud during the collapse of the stock price to acquire 34% of Mitsubishi's shares, which gave birth to the world's largest automobile alliance, in 2017, the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi automobile alliance sold more than 10 million cars a year, which was a punch and kick GM, becoming the world's largest automobile alliance worthy of the name.

When Ghosn was at his most glamorous, he was the big boss of Nissan, Renault, and Mitsubishi, and became the only person on the earth who was also the CEO of three Fortune 500 companies! Even Emperor Toei personally gave him a medal, and at that time, according to a survey by the Toei media, among the men that Toei women most wanted to marry, Carlos Ghosn, who was short and ugly, was among the best! And he had nothing to write and play, such as "Selling the Refrigerator to the Eskimos," which was regarded as the 'Bible' by every salesperson in the Han Kingdom, was Carlos Ghosn's book. World-renowned universities such as Harvard have also included Carlos Gorn in MBA case studies to explain to students.

In fact, Carlos Ghosn's methods are not very clever now: take Nissan as an example, Nissan's problems are: first, the cost is too high, after all, there are too many old employees, and second, there are too many debts, and the old suppliers are too high, and they are full of human connections, and they cannot give the lowest supply price. As long as you dare to lay off employees, it is not difficult for Nissan to continue its life.

But no one dares to be such a wicked person in Dongying, and Ghosn is not a native of Dongying, what is he afraid of? So he directly made a ruthless move, and Nissan naturally saved him.

But how does that say, 'No one is good for a thousand days, no flower is good for a hundred days', although Ghosn is the king of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Motors Alliance, he ignores one thing: it is the two countries of Gaul and Dongying that play chess.

In this automobile union, Renault, which is dominated by the Gallic government, has a 43 percent stake in Nissan, while Nissan has only 15 percent of Renault's non-voting shares.

And who is the most profitable person in this auto league? Or Nissan! More than 50 percent of the profits of the entire auto league are brought by Nissan. Can Dongying be happy? I worked hard to make money, but in the end, how to spend money is the business of the Gauls?

So Dongying and Gaul began a secret fight, but Carlos Ghosn came to a way to protect himself at this time: let Dongying Nishikawa Hiroto take over as CEO of Nissan, and he was at ease as chairman. Of course, behind Nissan's major right to speak, he still has the final say.

But no one will be willing to be a puppet all the time, I didn't see that the former prime ministers of Tsarist Russia have fallen out with the emperor? And Nissan is not willing to continue to raise Renault like a 'parasite', so the internal relationship between Nissan and Renault deteriorated, and the external situation is that Dongying and Gaul are secretly competing.

In the end, this contradiction broke out completely: Hiroto Nishikawa reported Carlos Ghosn with his real name!

First, he evaded taxes and evaded taxes, even though he took two billion yen from Nissan a year, but only declared half of his income to evade taxes; second, he used public funds for private investment; and the third interesting reason was that Carlos Ghosn wanted to "negate and erase the tradition and dignity of Nissan."

Well, as for the third article, it means that Ghosn is ready to unify the chassis of Renault, Nissan and Mitsubishi in order to further reduce costs, which is also a crime?

The funniest thing: This matter was not discovered by the supervisory agency but an internal inspection tool, and after the incident, Gaul not only ignored but echoed Dongying's approach, and after several painless negotiations, Renault removed Ghosn from his position as chairman and CEO, and by the way, began to investigate Carlos Ghosn's corruption. Mitsubishi Motors also suggested that Ghosn step down.

All in all, after Carlos Ghosn's arrest, the three major automobile alliances, as well as the two countries behind it, began to beat the water dogs!

And what happened next for Carlos Ghosn was the darkest period of his life: three arrests and three bails in just six months. And live under the close surveillance of the Dongying police.

The next thing that happened was the plot that the screenwriters didn't dare to write like that:

A reporter once asked Amazon CEO Bezos a funny question: What are your criteria for choosing a mate? At that time, Bezos had just divorced and paid a sky-high breakup fee.

Bezos's answer was even more funny: my criteria for choosing a mate was a woman who could single-handedly get me out of a prison in the Third World.

And Carlos Ghosn's new wife, Carol, really did just that!

The Dongying police's surveillance of Ghosn is meticulous to the extreme: He cannot make phone calls or use the Internet at his residence, he must have the presence of government officials to talk to anyone, there are monitors in every room, two security guards are stationed 24 hours a day at the door, and there are people outside to monitor even the toilet and bather! No one can contact Ghosn except lawyers and embassy members, including his wife and children.

And all of this was planned by Carroll.

According to Toei custom, people spend Christmas Eve with their loved ones, and Ghosn is his wife Carol, whom he met in the law office that day, and after an hour of conversation, Ghosn hosts a Christmas dinner in the villa the next day.

With the approval and surveillance of the Toei police, a performance band entered Carlos Ghosn's mansion in Tokyo to perform.

It was the New Year's after all, and Carlos Ghosn's request was not excessive. It turns out that the band was contacted by Ghosn's wife, and all the members are members of a private security company, and they are all members of retired secret agents!

When the performance ended, the 'bandmates' put Ghosn directly into a cello suitcase, and thus evaded the inspection of the Toei police, and then a group of people drove to Osaka's Kansai Airport, evaded the Toei customs officers with forged passports and makeup, and boarded a private jet to Tuji, from where they transferred to Lebanon for a real-life version of the 'Victory Escape'.

When Ghosn arrived in Libanon, the whole Dongying went crazy, and the most painful face was the Dongying Ministry of Defense.

Because just a few days ago, the Ministry of Defense of Dongying also stated there: Carlos Ghosn will never be allowed to leave Dongying, and a few days later, people went on vacation with their families on the other side of the world.

And why did Ghosn go to Lebanon and not Gaul?

There was no extradition agreement between Lebanon and Gaul, and even if he committed an offence in Dongying, he would have the right to be tried in Lebanon.

And Ghosn became a 'national hero' after Lebanon, criticizing Dongying for discriminating against him, having problems with the judicial system, and telling how he was persecuted during his arrest, which put the entire Dongying judicial system in an embarrassing situation. In the end, they came up with a way to get angry by issuing a wanted warrant for Ghosn's wife, Carol Ghosn, on suspicion of perjury.

But what's the use of that? The Minister of Justice of Lebanon has said that Ghosn is a citizen of Lebanon and should be treated fairly under Lebanese law. And Carol Ghosn directly pointed at the ambassador to Libanon and scolded him.

There is no extradition regulation, which is so arrogant!
