Chapter 489: Dearborn

Build cars.

Push back a few decades, and the automobile manufacturing industry, along with steel and construction, is known as the three pillar industries of the United States, and with the change of time, it has slowly taken a back seat.

Car companies may not make much money and the market value is not too high, but for a country, the automobile manufacturing industry is quite important, because its upstream and downstream extend countless industrial chains.

From R&D to raw material production, to post-assembly and sales, and after-sales maintenance, the automobile manufacturing industry feeds countless people, and even the staff of gas stations depend on this industry, and the state can also earn a large amount of tax revenue in the process, which is used for various official expenses, including social welfare, infrastructure and so on.

Before the real determination of reform and opening up, Su Mu could not understand the development path of Huaxia, but now he has found a little sign - it is summarizing the development path of countries around the world and trying to speed up the development speed.

President Bill Clinton's men may have seen some signs of this, but the attack earlier this year succeeded in turning the White House's attention to the Middle East.

On the other hand, this shift in oppressive power also has a lot to do with the fact that a group of American businessmen are trying to take advantage of China's cheap labor and open up the vast Chinese consumer market.

This time, Su Mu's son Su Lin unexpectedly set his sights on the Huaxia automobile consumer market.

Whether it's because of the boy's natural curiosity about cars or his keen business acumen, it's a good thing all in all, and he's actually very optimistic about the car market there.

Because, since Huaxia is trying to combine the development process of various countries, summed up a bright road suitable for its own national conditions, automobiles, real estate, steel, equipment manufacturing, electronic information, non-ferrous metals and other industries, are definitely supported by the policy to develop industries, a few years ago housing reform, a few years ago state-owned enterprise reform, the recent "information highway plan" and so on, has proved that Su Mu's guess is not wrong.

The most time-saving and labor-saving, and the safest way to do that country with a large population is to keep an eye on the policy, and there are several experts in the Jiuzhou Group who do nothing and are responsible for analyzing various official documents and circulars in order to better formulate development policies.

A few years ago, Su Mu's motorcycle manufacturing company in Huaxia ordered very good, and it is still very good, but as more and more people become rich, because of the employment opportunities brought by the reform and opening up to make money, many people began to be dissatisfied with motorcycles, and the consumption trend is changing with each passing day.

Based on this background, Su Mu collected a lot of information about the automotive industry, most of which he didn't know beforehand, and after careful research and research, he locked down several companies......

On the 10th of August, Su Lin and Old Man Su came back, and before they got off the plane, Su Mu walked in with Lily first, sat down and fastened his seat belt.

Old man Su was stunned when he saw this, and asked, "You want to go far away?"

"Well, you can go back and rest for a few days, and now we can go to Dearborn, Michigan, and if all goes well, we can rush home to dinner with you, there is something we need to take care of." ”

Su Mu told him, and then let his son Su Lin sit down, and continued to speak with a smile on his face: "I have a good company, Ford Motor Group is willing to sell it to us, don't rush home first, let's go and have a look." ”

After going out to play for more than a month, and I have to start adapting to jet lag, Old Man Su is old, and he doesn't plan to continue to run around, "That's okay, you guys go get busy first, I want to go home and rest for a few days, otherwise the stroke won't kill me, and I will die of exhaustion during the trip first." ”

The nurse helped him into a wheelchair, and there were bodyguards who would be responsible for sending the old man home safely, so Su Mu didn't need to worry too much.

Hearing this, Su Lin was excited and a little tired at the same time, fastened his seat belt again, and said, "I'll go with you, but I'll definitely have to sleep first......

After filling up the plane with fuel and doing another simple test, the Boeing 747 set off again.

Michigan is located near the Great Lakes in the northeastern United States, and the city of Dearborn is close to Detroit, and since the riots in Detroit, the famous automobile city, the economy has been in a long-term slump, and countless factories and wealthy people have moved out of there, mainly because there are too many black people, and white bosses feel unsafe.

They can't afford to mess with riot-loving blacks, but they can hide, and the riots in Detroit in the sixties left forty-three people dead, more than four hundred injured, more than seven thousand arrested, and more than two thousand buildings damaged, second only to the New York City Draft Riots during the Civil War.

The same example is repeated all over the United States, such as neighborhoods, where there are more black people in a neighborhood, or if there are more black students in a school, then the vast majority of white people will choose to flee.

Detroit's glory belongs to the past, and Dearborn, where Ford is headquartered, was once a satellite city of Detroit, but now it is better developed than Detroit.

The Ford Motor Group of the United States, together with General Motors and Chrysler, has become the "three major automobile groups in the United States", and the only force in the world that can compete with the German automobile industry system is estimated to be only these automobile companies in the United States.

Although the annual turnover is exaggerated, but the market value of these companies themselves is not high, this time Sumu chose to consider buying Ford's subsidiary Jaguar Motors, the British old car manufacturer is quite famous, but the sales are not high, and the company has been transferred to the Ford Group.

Once, when he was studying at Castellar Public High School, Su Mu's principal had a Jaguar, which was unattainable for him at that time, and he had a good impression of this brand of cars, so he planned to take a look at it first.

After the plane landed, the convoy headed to the Dearborn Ford Group headquarters.

Su Mu told his son: "I am most optimistic about the two brands of Ferrari and Porsche, they need technology and technology, and they want brands and brands, and the car manufacturing process in Germany has always been very good, but unfortunately after contact, these two companies told me that they will not be wholly acquired, and they are only willing to raise a part of the funds to relieve the pressure, which is not what I want, but I can consider investing in them."

Among the brands that can be wholly acquired by us, Jaguar is in the category of not bad, this is your first attempt at big business, and I'm going to give you enough decision-making power, OK?"

Su Lin nodded as if he understood whether he understood or not, he almost didn't understand what his father said......
