Chapter 1445 You guys. Why?

Of course, these things, of course Bill Ford will not talk to Jill and Zhang Lan, after all, this girl is not a big philanthropist, since she is a capitalist, her heart is dead and black, not to mention the risks, when necessary, it is not too complicated to stab you in the back.

So after hearing Zhang Lan's words, Bill. Ford looked at Zhang Lan with a calm face, "I believe you can also understand that it is quite difficult for Ford Group to make such a decision." ”

Zhang Lan and Jill nodded, to a certain extent, this means the strategic transformation of Ford Group's business strategy, such a decision, for Ford, is indeed quite difficult, it is estimated that among them, Bill is indispensable. The result of Ford's big push.

"We thought about this for a long time, and it was only recently that the Ford Group made a final decision. After analyzing the current and next 20 years of world economic development and the problems, opportunities and difficulties faced by Ford, the board of directors of the group believes that with the development of the economy, a single economic development structure has formed a certain shackles for Ford, and with the development of time, this shackles will become more and more serious for Ford, and it is expected that in the next five years or so, this economic development model will be very likely to become one of the main obstacles to the development of Ford. In view of this, the Ford Group has decided to make a strategic transformation of Ford Motor to enter other industries in addition to the production of automobiles. ”

Zhang Lan nodded: When you see the risk, take various ways to avoid the risk, this is the method that any enterprise in the world will use, Ford has always been one of the main suppliers of military vehicles to the US military, and has always had a good cooperative relationship with the Ministry of National Defense, and now with the help of this relationship, it is not very difficult to enter the military aircraft market, and there is nothing wrong with the Ford Group's approach. However, Zhang Lan wanted to scratch her head: It seems that in history, Ford has been honestly guarding its own car manufacturing land?

"So you Ford are going to get into the aircraft industry?" Jill interjected and asked, with a hint of scrutiny in his tone, "And you're still working with us?" ”

Although on the surface, Jill is just Alice's personal assistant, but those who really know the inside story know that things are definitely not so simple, although Jill seems to be just a small personal assistant, but because Alice attaches great importance to her. So this girl's position in the Alice Group is very special, and it can even be said that many of the general managers of the Alice Group are not as important as Jill's girl in terms of importance, and the Alice Group may be able to afford to lose a general manager, but it definitely can't afford to lose Jill, so for Jill's problem, Bill. Naturally, Ford did not dare not answer.

"That's right," said Bill. Fu nodded and admitted very happily, there is nothing to be embarrassed to admit, "After careful consideration by the board of directors, the vast majority of people believe that entering the aircraft manufacturing industry will be a new and powerful economic development engine for Ford Motor and for the entire Ford Group in the new century. ”

"But for Ford, entering a whole new industry may not necessarily be a good thing." Zhang Lan was very compassionate, at least it seemed.

This stinky boy! Others don't know Zhang Lan, but Bill. Ford this guy knows, from the time when Zhang Lan was only a few years old. Ford dealt with this kid. Until now, it has been a few decades of fighting, Bill. Ford knows very well that this kid Zhang Lan is a cunning and dangerous guy like a wolf, and when dealing with this kid Zhang Lan, he absolutely must pay attention to it, otherwise if he is not careful, he is very likely to be eaten by this kid without even bones! …,

It's very likely that he was sold by this kid, and in turn, he may be helping this kid count the money. Bill. Ford didn't think he could afford to lose this man.

"Of course, aviation manufacturing is a high-risk economic and technology-intensive industry," said Bill Brown. Ford scolded Zhang Lan in his heart at the same time, but his words did not stop, "Entering the aviation manufacturing industry, for many manufacturing enterprises, is a huge honor, but it also means a huge risk, but this is not a big problem for our Ford Motor, we Ford Motor can get a large number of military purchase orders from the military every year, and in terms of relations with the Ministry of Defense, over the years, our Ford Motor Industry has maintained a very good cooperative relationship with the Ministry of Defense." ”

"In that case, then why did Ford ask us to work with the Alice Group?" When Bill. Ford was talking about it when Jill was very reluctant to give Bill. Ford's face comes and goes.

"Ahem," Bill. Ford was choked, but at this time, this guy also realized that he had accidentally blown it a little too much, and hurriedly corrected his mistake, "This is what I will say next." We Ford know that your group has now officially entered the aviation manufacturing industry, since we all have the meaning of showing their talents in this industry, so at the first time, we thought of the Alice Group, which has always had a good cooperative relationship with our Ford Motor, if we Ford Motor and Alice Group can join forces to achieve a real strong combination, the huge cake of the world aviation manufacturing market will be our share of a large piece. ”

Originally, it was just a move by Ford Motor to reduce its own risk, and it was obviously to pull our Alice Group to be a pioneer by the way, but now when this guy says it, it has become a kind move by their Ford Motor for their good friends. Zhang Lan couldn't help sneering in her heart: Ford's little abacus is really shrewd! This forced pretending is really good enough.

But Bill. Ford's remarks are not all nonsense, the high profits of military products and huge state subsidies are what make Ford coveted, especially in the United States, hundreds of billions of dollars in military procurement funds every year, so that arms dealers all over the world are blue-eyed, Boeing, Lockheed. The huge financial subsidies that Martin and Raytheon, the most famous arms companies in the United States, receive from the Department of Defense every year, make the Ford Group eager to go up and directly grab this big fat meat into its mouth.

Ford understands very well that as long as the United States needs to maintain its world hegemony one day, it has no intention of turning itself into a second-rate country in the world. Then the support for these military industrial enterprises will not fall for a day, and the days of these military industrial enterprises will be like a day of nourishment, Ford lost this opportunity before, and now if it has the opportunity to enter this industry, then why not?

What's more, Ford is not a military product at all, among the many military vehicles used by the US military, there are a considerable number of military vehicles from Ford Motors, it can be said that Ford Motors still have a considerable foundation in this regard, if it is combined with the Alice Group. It's also so-so, it can be said that it is a strong combination.

Although the Alice Group is also one of the major suppliers of military products to the US Department of Defense, it is mainly focused on other auxiliary equipment, and in terms of these powerful weapons of destruction, the Alice Group has so far been blank -- but Alice and Xiao Chenxi have left a lot of backdoors in the weapons systems of the Americans. …,

Honestly, though in Bill. Before Ford came, Zhang Lan and Jill had expected that this guy would come to take advantage of themselves, but Zhang Lan and Jill didn't expect Bill. Ford had this idea, and the two of them glanced at each other covertly: there is no doubt that if the Alice Group wants to single-handedly grab the piece of the big cake that has been divided into US arms sales orders, it is bound to break the existing equilibrium.

If the existing equilibrium is broken, it will undoubtedly offend everyone in the aviation manufacturing industry who is engaged in it, but the people who stay among them are Boeing and Lockheed. The existence of a supergiant like Martin, if it is really hard to do it, it may not be a good thing for Alice Group.

There is no doubt that Alice Group wants to join this existence, and if Alice Group is more stable in this circle, it will be less subject to various restrictions in China, which is also a huge help for Zhang Lan's domestic plans.

But if you think about it and how to do it, it's very debatable.

"That's right, we at Alice do have plans to sell our planes to the Ministry of Defense." After communicating with Zhang Lan in an instant, Jill nodded and happily admitted this.

There is nothing to keep secret about this matter, not to mention that Alice Group has never concealed its intentions - at least in the eyes of many people, Alice Group has never concealed its intentions - since Alice Group entered the aviation manufacturing industry, as long as it is a little bit of brain, according to the existing construction scale of Alice Group, it can already be understood that Alice Group's ambitions in aviation manufacturing are definitely not satisfied by the civil aircraft market, except for the civil aircraft market, there is a much broader market for military aircraft.

In the huge and lucrative market of military aircraft, as long as the head of the decision-making level of the Alice Group does not have a short circuit of the backbone line, there will definitely be no such problem, but according to the development trajectory of the Alice Group over the years, the head of the decision-making level of the Alice Group. Will there be a short circuit in the trunk line?

Listen to what Jill says, Bill. Ford was suddenly happy in his heart, but before he could express his joy, immediately, Jill's words completely made this guy crazy there, "However, there is no doubt that in the aircraft manufacturing industry, our Alice Group is much stronger than your technical strength, our Alice Group has its own multiple production lines, has its own team of skilled technicians, technicians and designers, and has the world's best management team, but these, it seems that Ford does not have it, Why should we work with you if Ford doesn't have any of them? Obviously, the partnership with Ford is not going to bring us enough benefits. ”

yes, why work with Ford? What are the unique advantages of your Ford motor company that make us have to cooperate with you? Is it just about finding a partner to fend off the risks together? As soon as Jill's words came out, Bill. Ford was stunned for a moment, when they Ford Motors had been accustomed to the fact that the Alice Group had almost taken the initiative to pay to themselves for so many years, when the Alice Group suddenly said no to themselves, there was no reason, Bill. Ford felt a heartfelt panic from the bottom of his heart!

The Alice Group is not short of money, and it also has a pretty good relationship with the Department of Defense. W. Bush gritted his teeth with hatred for the Alice Group, but before he was completely sure that he was placed in the Alice Group, or even before the Alice Group, from US President George W. Bush to Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, all of them had to maintain a respectful enough attitude towards the Alice Group, and even took care of their Alice Group to a certain extent. …,

But in the eyes of the U.S. Department of Defense and the White House, what can Ford count on? Compared with the Alice Group, the two are directly not on the same order of magnitude.

"This ......" despite the fact that on weekdays Bill. Ford also often boasts that he is a clever old fox, but at this moment, Bill. Ford also didn't know what to say.

"I think, even if you really want to cooperate, do you need to think carefully about what you should come up with to cooperate with Alice Group, instead of coming over so unprepared?" Jill "tactfully" Bill. Ford said.

Such an obvious hint if Bill. If Ford doesn't understand it, he can jump directly into the lake and drown, what Jill meant by this is clearly telling him: Want to cooperate with Alice Group? Yes, but at least show your sincerity and ability to cooperate first, otherwise you will not be able to talk about it.

Cooperation has always been based on equal forces, and cooperation with unbalanced strength cannot be called cooperation, and many times, it is just a precursor that one party wants to annex the other.

Bill. Ford, this time I left a little embarrassed. Zhang Lan and Jill looked at each other and smiled: Over the years, the Ford Group, a pig that was already sick before, has almost been raised, and when necessary, it will be killed and eaten, right? Not a lot of words

However, at present, it seems that there are still some problems that need to be solved by the two girls Zhang Lan and Jill......
