Johnson, as an assistant to GM President Danning Yang, flew back to GM's headquarters in Detroit, USA, and immediately submitted a report to the board of directors on the establishment of a joint venture with China's Qilu Heavy Duty Truck Group.

The board of directors also took this very seriously, and immediately called an emergency meeting, which Johnson attended on behalf of Yang Danning.

At the meeting, there were great differences on whether to agree to cooperate with Qilu Heavy Duty Truck Group, and some directors said: "I agree with President Yang's decision to enter the Asian market, but it is our independent identity, not a joint venture." ”

One of the directors mentioned: "I am afraid that the government will not agree to use our company's mature Hummer technology as a shareholder, after all, Hummer's technology originated from the military and has just been used for civilian use, and the government's concerns must be very large, and the Ministry of Commerce will exert pressure to prevent this cooperation." ”

Some directors also agreed, believing that cooperating with a country with a rapid economic development like China, and having a huge market, would greatly stimulate the stock market and bring huge wealth to GM.

Johnson has been listening carefully to the speeches of the directors, and when he saw that everyone said their opinions, he stood up and said: "I was entrusted by President Yang to say her opinion, the United States is not the only country with mature automotive technology, I believe that entrepreneurs with vision will not let go of China - this huge market, and it can radiate the entire Asian market, Japan, South Korea's automotive technology is mainly light vehicles, has great competitiveness, General Motors only develops and develops the heavy-duty vehicle market, will there be a way out, Sinotruk Group has a complete sales network, which can allow us to get twice the result with half the effort. ”

A director interrupted Johnson and said, "Mr. Johnson, don't you think there is a Chinese government behind this cooperation?" ”

"This director, please don't forget that the Chinese have terrible creativity and learning ability, and the successful explosion of the atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb illustrates this problem, that is, without our participation, I believe that China will not be able to develop their own high-quality engine in two years or even less." Johnson said.

"Yes! I agree with Mr. Johnson that I know China very well, and we cannot reserve ourselves a competitor, and it is better to cooperate now than to seek peace in the future. A director said.

There was a commotion in the venue, and everyone began to talk about it.

The vice president of General Motors, who was in charge of presiding over the meeting, knocked on the table and said: "Everyone, please be quiet, I think I will be here today, and after I go back, we will think about it carefully, analyze the pros and cons, and we will make a final vote the afternoon after tomorrow." ”

The U.S. Department of Commerce reported the information that GM was going to make a joint venture with China's Qilu Heavy Duty Truck Group, and Secretary of State Larry Bird immediately reported the situation to President George W. Bush.

George Bush thought for a while and said: "Mr. Bird, there is no need to offend China for an outdated technology, this Jiang Tao is a potential stock, and it also needs to be befriended, and outdated technology can be exchanged for a lot of dollars, which is very cost-effective." ”

"However, the Chinese side is going to replace the vehicles in service, will we raise tigers?" Larry Bird asked.

"In today's world, no country is willing to start a war, it is just a matter of talking and not doing anything, and it is also a good thing that China has strengthened its military strength to contain the wolf in the north." George Bush had a smug smile on his face.

"Oh, I see, in Chinese it's a win-win." What Larry Bird admires is the five-body throw.

Two days later, General Secretary Zhen Xinghua inspected Qilu Heavy Duty Truck Group and sent a news video of his cordial conversation with Jiang Tao to George Bush by US Secretary of State Larry Bird.

After watching the news video, George Bush folded his hands, leaned back in his chair, and said proudly: "My judgment is not wrong, this Jiang Tao will be China's future successor, you notify the Ministry of Commerce to promote the cooperation between GM and China National Heavy Duty Truck, even if we make concessions on the conditions, we can compensate GM from other aspects." ”

Secretary of State Larry Bird returned to his office and made four or five phone calls in quick succession, this time leaning his head back on the couch and closing his eyes slightly.

In the afternoon, Johnson arrived at the GM conference room on time, and the other directors walked in with notebooks in hand.

The vice president who presided over the meeting said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that through the thinking of the past few days, you must have made your own decision, so we will raise our hands to vote on whether General Motors of the United States will cooperate with China Qilu Heavy Truck, and if you agree to cooperate, please raise your hands." ”

The vice president raised his hand first, and the other directors also raised their hands, which made Johnson unable to understand what had happened in the past few days, and he also raised his hand in confusion.

As a result, the joint venture proposal between GM and Qilu Heavy Duty Truck was unanimously approved by the directors, and the directors voted to elect a four-member negotiating delegation, led by Johnson, President Yang Danning's personal assistant, to fly to Jibei, China, tomorrow.

When the meeting broke up, Johnson grabbed the vice president and asked, "Mr. President, what's going on?" ”

"Hehe, it seems that you don't care about international current affairs at all, and you don't care about the news of President Yang's motherland, you go check it on the Internet." The vice president reached for the notebook on the table, tapped it in his palm, and walked out of the conference room.

Johnson hurriedly returned home, turned on the computer, and searched for news in China in recent days, only then did he notice the news of China's General Secretary Zhen Xinghua's inspection of Qilu Heavy Duty Truck, and also saw the news photos of Zhen Xinghua and Jiang Tao talking cordially.

"Oh! Oh my God, that's what happened! It dawned on Johnson.

The next day, the news that General Motors of the United States was about to cooperate with China's Qilu Heavy Duty Truck Group came out, and GM's stock immediately rose sharply, and even the price of the price limit appeared for several days.

Johnson immediately called Yang Danning, who was far away in Beijing, China, to inform him of the board's decision.

"Mr. Johnson, you have worked hard, you can fly directly to Jibei City, Qilu Province tomorrow, I have carte blanche to entrust you to negotiate with Sinotruk Group on my behalf, and it must be negotiated, of course, this success cannot be at the expense of the interests of our General Motors, understand?" Yang Danning said.

"Okay, President Yang, I will report to you in time if there is any situation." Johnson said respectfully.

Seeing that the cooperation had an eyebrow, Yang Danning called Jiang Tao excitedly: "Brother Tao, the matter of cooperation is not far away, Johnson and they will fly to Jibei City tomorrow to negotiate with your Sinotruk Group." ”

"Thank you Denning, we have received a fax telegram from General Motors of the United States, and Sinotruk is also ready to negotiate, I believe we will cooperate happily, do you say?" Jiang Tao said with a pun.

"And, with words in words, not a good person." Yang Danning said angrily.

"Hehe, when the agreement is signed, we can meet." Jiang Tao said with a smile.

"I won't talk to you, the child is making trouble, I'll go take a look." Yang Danning hung up the phone in a hurry and took care of his two precious sons.

Jiang Tao also reported to Huang Qingzeng, secretary of the provincial party committee, the news that the US General Motors negotiating delegation was coming to Jibei City.

Huang Qingzeng instructed on the telephone: Comrade Jiang Tao, this cooperation is very important, and you must set up an effective negotiation team, which can be given to what should be given, and not a penny of benefits that should not be given, and the interests of the state must not be damaged. ”

"Secretary Huang, please rest assured, this time it was Johnson's assistant who led the team, and I will let a few vice chairmen participate, and I won't show up, so I can have room for maneuver." Jiang Tao said.

"I agree with your opinion, I guess Yang Danning thinks the same way, you ......, hehe, it coincides." Huang Qingzeng almost missed his mouth and hurriedly hung up the phone.

Jiang Tao scolded in his heart: What an old fox.

Jiang Tao asked Guo Shouyi to inform all the party committee members to come to the conference room for a meeting immediately, and after seeing that everyone was coming, Jiang Tao directly explained the content of the meeting. After discussions, it was decided to send a negotiation team headed by Tang Zhaozhong, chief financial officer, to negotiate with General Motors, including Liao Tiancheng, secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, Huang Fu and Shan, director of the propaganda department, and Liu Renji, vice chairman of the company.

The next day, the negotiators of the American General Motors Company flew to Jibei City, and Guo Shouyi, on behalf of Jiang Tao, went to the airport to pick up the plane and arranged for the delegates to be in the guest rooms of the Shuangjiang Donghai Hotel.

Jiang Tao attended the welcome banquet in the evening and delivered a brief speech introducing the members of the negotiation team on the side of Sinotruk.

In the next few days, the members of the negotiation team of the two sides negotiated on the issue of capital contribution by General Motors and Sinotruk Group, the issue of share ratio, the composition of the board of directors, and the discount issue of Sinotruk Group's special vehicle company.

But our chairman Jiang Tao enjoyed a rare leisure, and he simply didn't even go to the headquarters of Sinotruk, waiting for news at home.

After Jiang Yingying and Jiang Tao had a passion in the evening, she was lying on Jiang Tao enjoying the fatigue and pleasure after the passion, and suddenly she saw a faint tooth bite mark on Jiang Tao's left shoulder.

Jiang Yingying sat up straight on Jiang Tao, "Jiang Tao! What's going on? She asked, pointing to the bite marks.

Jiang Tao was closing his eyes, his hands were stroking Jiang Yingying's smooth body up and down, he was startled by Jiang Yingying's actions, opened his eyes and asked, "Yingying, what's wrong with you?" ”

"You say! What's going on? ”

"It was Yang Danning who bit it." Jiang Tao knew the reason why Jiang Yingying was furious, and explained embarrassedly.

"Oh, her mouth is not big, I didn't expect it to bite so round, it's quite artistic, like a dial." Jiang Yingying said with a little jealousy.

"I'm sorry Yingying, are you okay?" Jiang Tao asked.

"It's okay! But she's biting a Rossini dial on your left, and I'm going to bite a Citizen on your right. After speaking, Jiang Yingying leaned down and opened her mouth to bite Jiang Tao's right shoulder.

Jiang Tao dared to cry out in pain, so he had to grit his teeth and endure it, after Jiang Yingying finished biting, she climbed down from Jiang Tao with satisfaction, lay down beside him, hugged Jiang Tao's waist and fell asleep.

But Jiang Tao didn't expect that the matter didn't end there, two days later in the night, the two bite marks were seen by Ji Yanran, and he also asked the reason in a fierce voice, Ji Yanran smiled: "Tao! You're very rich, you've got two watches, and you're still a famous brand, so I'll get you a piece of domestic Combus. ”

Ji Yanran lay on Jiang Tao's chest, took a big bite, and then proudly began to compare which bite marks were rounder.

Jiang Tao couldn't cry or laugh when he was whole, oh my God! If this had been placed in ancient times, wouldn't I have opened a watch shop on me?
