When Jonas arrived in China, it was during the two sessions, and at the conference, a proposal for the establishment of a free trade zone was also discussed.

However, his desired proposal to establish a free trade zone in the Yangtze River Delta did not pass, and he was only allowed to establish a free trade zone in the special zone dedicated to the production of export goods.

In mid-March, he arrived in Nanshan, a special zone of labor, and after a field trip at Shekou Port, he enclosed a two-square-kilometer piece of land next to the port to build an automobile factory.

At the same time, the security guard, which is not far away and has a cheaper land price, has also enclosed a piece of land with a full two square kilometers to build a motorcycle factory and a parts factory.

The cars produced at the Shekou plant are not aimed at the domestic market, they are exclusively exported, and most of the spare parts are also shipped from abroad.

He wants to actively promote the process of localization of spare parts, but he cannot ignore the fact that Batumi is still very strict in its control over technology.

Moreover, the domestic industrial processing field is seriously broken, and the precision accessories have no processing capacity at all.

Domestic automobile factories, trucks can make money, cars are still very difficult, if you want to survive, you must export processing.

At the end of March, Ursula came to Huaxia to take over his job, while he returned to Europe to sign a contract with the Volvo Group to buy their car company as a wholly owned company.

The Volvo Group's Volvo Car Company, Wagon Company, including Truck Engine Company, in Gothenburg was sold to Hoffmann Investment Bank for about $700 million.

This incident hit GM hard, and after months of negotiations, they still made an offer of more than $1.5 billion.

And all the factories of Opel Company combined, it is only seven or eight billion US dollars, and the premium of one or two hundred million Yonas can still be accepted, and the premium is doubled, and it is completely Najonas as a Kaizizai.

On the eve of Jonas's official signing with the Volvo Group in Gothenburg, GM finally relented and made a final offer of $1.2 billion.

$1.2 billion, although the price is a bit inflated, but it is not outrageous.

Because GM cut down the Opel factory in this way, in fact, it is equivalent to them giving up the bridgehead in the European market, and the loss of the enterprise is not small.

Therefore, the think tank headed by Schwarch, Du Jonas won the opel.

Compared with Volvo, Opel has more mature experience in the production of low-level automobiles, and has a huge advantage in terms of material control costs.

Moreover, Opel has a more mature sales system, and their sales outlets are more than three times that of Volvo.

Hoffman's investment bank won Opel, which means that they already have a complete automobile production and sales system.

At present, Hoffman Investment Bank does not want to rely on the automobile industry to make profits, but to integrate the automobile industry, with the Opel system, Volvo, and Skoda's sales system can be integrated together, which is very great to promote Hoffman Investment Bank.

On March 26, Jonas officially signed a contract with the Volvo Group in Gothenburg, and on March 28, Jonas flew to Angola before he had time to celebrate, and signed more than 200 contracts with the country, and the oil development plan was officially launched.

On 31 March, Jonas met with Zairean President Mobutu and signed a formal cooperation agreement with him.

The territorial waters belonging to Zaire, if oil is found to be exploited by the Hoffman Investment Bank. In the event of an oil dispute with the Angolan sector, it will be coordinated by the Hoffmann Investment Bank.

In order to be able to merge his domestic railway with Angola and export through Angola, Zaire had to be generous this time.

This is tantamount to the transfer of many benefits to Angola and Jonas.

Immediately after the signing of this agreement, Santos began negotiations with Mobutu for the railway merger, port construction and lease.

Jonas didn't have time to stay here at this time, and on April Fool's Day, he flew directly from Africa to Detroit, northeast of Armenia, to begin final negotiations with GM.

Since the shooting in Los Angeles the year before, Jonas has set foot on Armenian soil again after nearly two years.

Weinstein used a gunman during the Olympics and was later sentenced to 12 years. However, he is also a rich man, and he can be released on bail after spending a lot of time in prison for a normal time.

It is worth mentioning that after he went to prison, his younger brother Bob sold the film rights and projects in his hands, recovered about four million dollars, and completely quit the film industry.

Los Angeles is not something that these two New Yorkers can play, especially after they have offended the local Southern gang.

Bob didn't have the courage and drive of his brother, he was a man of good fortune and returned to New York to continue their record business.

Nicole has been in the limelight recently, and before she quit the entertainment industry, she was hyped because of her relationship with Jonas, and the four movies released at that time were all outstanding at the box office.

Although she is only the protagonist of one of the movies, it can be regarded as a small fire, and her retirement adds a bit of tragedy to her.

The cost of this movie is less than 20 million US dollars, and the salaries of the two main actors have gone to 7 million, and Catherine has become the first actress in film history to get a salary of 5 million.

But her performance was worthy of her salary, and she and Nicole propped up the entire film, making the "low-budget" film a box office of $78 million and more than 180 million worldwide.

It was also the first film to surpass the North American box office at the global box office, especially in Europe, where Catherine's ability to attract money was much stronger than that of Hollywood actresses.

The biggest winner of this chick movie is not Milkan and Fox Films, but Hermes.

They got the promotion of the title for a whopping $4 million, and with the costumes and bags of the characters in the show, they paid almost $5 million.

However, after the movie aired, there was a Hermes craze around the world, and in the first quarter of '86, their sales rose by one hundred percent.

In Dongying, the world's largest luxury goods consumer, Hermes's clothing, bags, perfumes, and accessories are all sold out, and they are still in short supply in April.

Nicole also became the global spokesperson of Hermès because of this shareholder style, and the annual endorsement fee reached one million US dollars.

Jonas came to Detroit, and as soon as he got off the plane, he was hugged tightly by Nicole who was waiting at the airport.

"Congratulations, you're a big star now. ”

"I know it's all your work. You receive the guests first, and we will talk when we get to the hotel. ”

"I don't want to talk, I've been holding back for half a year, and what I need now is to put out the fire. ”

She smiled playfully. "Who's afraid of whom?"

Unfortunately, it was not the right time, otherwise, Jonas would have had to know that the dignity of a man could not be provoked.

GM was greeted by representatives including Chairman Roger Smith, President James McDonald, and only the CEO was absent.

From this lineup, it can also be seen that they attach importance to Jonas and his party.

Roger Smith is the most despised chairman in GM's history, and his ten years in office have been a decade of decline for GM.

In 80 years, GM's share in North America was still 65 percent, and Toyota's sales in North America had not exceeded 50,000 units.

In 90, when Roger Smith stepped down, GM's market share fell below 40 percent, and the 25 percent share was occupied by Ford, Volkswagen, Toyota, and even Daewoo and Hyundai.

In '88, he shut down eleven GM factories at once, causing tens of thousands of people to lose their jobs.

One of his most famous phrases is to mock the people of Dongying. "All I can think of is the little locket of coins that the people invented in terms of automobiles. ”

However, he was defeated by the car of the Dongying people.

Of course, this is not entirely his responsibility, because in this era, corruption in automobile factories is very serious, especially GM.

They occupied the world's largest market by relying on national protection policies, but after Armenia gradually liberalized trade protection, they were finally defeated by Dongying Automobile.

McDonald's man, Jonas, knew him well, and he was once known as Rockefeller's best steward, and during his eight years as Rockefeller's chief executive, he managed the Rockefeller Foundation to be revitalized.

However, because he was wrongly optimistic about Armenia's economy, he suffered huge losses in personal investment, and finally said goodbye to this world by suicide in 2009.

Although he is now the president of GM, he is still too young, he is only 33 years old this year, and he is just a label used by GM's board of directors to change the image of the outside world, and has no real power.

In the general management structure, the chairman is the largest, followed by the CEO, and then the president.

Today's greeting is dominated by MacDonald, perhaps because Jonas is young, and MacDonald, who is also a young man, should have a common language with Jonas.

After a brief exchange at the airport, Jonas and MacDonald shared a car and entered the city.

In later generations, the city of Detroit was bankrupt, but now they are at the end of their glory days.

Nicole knew very well that this was not the time for her to interject, so she sat beside Jonas and said nothing, listening to Jonas and MacDonald gossip about some news in the automotive world.

The car arrived at the Guardian Building, a historic landmark in Detroit and the tallest red brick building in the world, across the street from GM's 15-story office building.

This Art Deco skyscraper is like a church, and every space is an attraction.

There are at least 10 cafes in the lobby, so grab a seat and enjoy some coffee and enjoy the intricate and colorful brickwork art here.

MacDonald waited for Jonas and them to check in, and then said with a smile: "The banquet is scheduled to start at half past six in the evening, and now, you still have two hours to spare." ”

Nicole blushed as she said that.

Jonas shook his hand with a smile and said, "Talking all the way, I can find that you are a manager with your own unique views on the management of the automobile industry, and I hope we will have the opportunity to have such a chat in the future." ”

He nodded and left.

Jonas had been watching their group disappear into the sun-dappled iron gate before retracting his gaze and said to Koenig, who had arrived early and was preparing for negotiations: "Pay attention to MacDonald, and see if there is no chance to pull us into our company in the future." ”
