Detroit is the automobile city of the United States, and it is also a famous blue-collar city in the United States.

Located on the edge of the Great Lakes, the city is the largest city in Michigan and was founded in 1701 by French fur traders.

Later, after it became the territory of the United States, relying on its natural geographical advantages, it became a famous heavy industry city in the United States, especially with the rise of the automobile industry, it gradually became a famous automobile city in the United States.

The headquarters of the three major automobile companies in the United States are located here, and the automotive industry here has also developed to a peak with the advent of World War II.

After the end of World War II, as the United States began to share more of the war dividends, new industries such as the financial industry and electronic computers emerged, and with the massive invasion of Japanese cars.

Detroit's major automakers, in order to save costs, began to hire a large number of black people, and a large number of black laborers also poured into the city with the increase of job opportunities.

But as the competition between American and Japanese cars in the auto market has been lost, the golden age of the American auto industry has also returned, and workers have lost their jobs in large numbers.

This has been followed by a large number of layoffs in car companies, as well as an increasing crime rate, robbery, drug trafficking, homicide, and rape, which have become the main theme of the city.

And the constant competition of racial contradictions also caused a large number of whites to leave the city and migrate south, leaving behind only the blacks who could not be robbed.

By now, the population of Detroit has fallen to more than 700,000, less than half of its peak, and of these 700,000 people, more than 82 percent of the population is black, and the number of white people has dropped to about 10 percent, and whites have become a complete minority in the city.

The ultra-low cultural education of black people, coupled with their ultra-high crime rate, has made Detroit one of the most unsafe cities in the United States. It has even surpassed the original famous Chicago to become the most famous sin city in the United States.

However, after all, this is the foundation of American car culture, so although the city's current security environment is very poor, the three major car companies have no plans to leave the city.

At least so far, the headquarters of the three major American auto giants are still located here.

The central part of General Motors, the world's largest automobile company, is located in the heart of the city's Renaissance Center. This five-building complex sits on the banks of the River Erie.

Opposite is the city of Windsor, Canada. Compared with the shabby city of Windsor, this magnificent mansion has earned a lot of face for Americans.

GM has been using the building as its headquarters for a few years, but it has been rented in the early stage, and then in '08 they bought the building for $625 million. became the property of the company.

But sadly, by '09 GM had to declare bankruptcy and apply for bankruptcy protection from the government.

Jin Xiaoqiang's arrival in Detroit has not been publicized, and he has been very low-key until now, even when he arrived in the United States. Not many people know about it.

When he came to Detroit, it was in the afternoon, and he didn't choose to rest, but went directly to the headquarters of General Motors. Nick. Reilly was waiting for him over there.

After leaving the airport, Jin Xiaoqiang got into a Cadillac luxury car sent by GM to pick him up and went straight to the Renaissance Center.

The car drove directly into the secret underground parking garage of the building, and those who could drive the car into this garage were all high-level people in general, ordinary employees, but they could not enjoy such treatment. …,

Then he took the special elevator and went straight to the conference center on the 42nd floor, and when he came out of the elevator. Nick. Reilly and a few other whites had been waiting there for a long time.

"Haha, hello. My friend, we finally meet again. ”

When Jin Xiaoqiang just stepped out of the elevator. Nick Reilly walked over and gave him a warm hug, as if the two were very familiar friends.

The people who attended this meeting on GM's side were of high standard, and even Howard, the current president of GM, appeared in the crowd to greet Jin Xiaoqiang.

The crowd that can appear here is, of course, all of them are high-level executives, and Nick is very enthusiastic to introduce these people to Jin Xiaoqiang one by one.

Among them is Howard, who is now at the helm of General Motors, and several other high-level board members, and Jin Xiaoqiang shook hands with everyone one by one.

As the hottest car man in recent years, the greatest car designer, and the youngest leader of a large automobile company, Jin Xiaoqiang's fame in the automotive industry can be said to be very large.

After all, although Jin Xiaoqiang was famous before, he has always been very low-key and is not often exposed in the news media, especially in the Western news media.

So many old-timers in the automotive industry here are here to see what this Jin Xiaoqiang looks like.

After getting to know each other one by one, everyone dispersed, after all, today's meeting was presided over by Nick.

It was he who invited Jin Xiaoqiang, and he is now the president of General Motors in the United States, what exactly does he want to talk to Jin Xiaoqiang, and it is not easy for others to interfere and participate.

After all, these are all part of office politics, in short, it is still the same sentence, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Nick waited until Jin Xiaoqiang and these people got to know each other one by one, then led Jin Xiaoqiang inside and went directly into his office.

He is now in General Motors, and he can be regarded as a popular fried chicken.

It was he who led and completed the project in cooperation with Huayang Power, which brought very rich profits to GM.

You must know that GM sells a lot of products every year, but there are not many really profitable projects, and in the mid-level car market, they have been silent for many years.

However, after cooperating with Huayang Power, Huayang Power's products have been warmly welcomed by consumers as soon as they were introduced to the United States.

The high-end Qoros series is very popular among urban white-collar workers, and the eMotion has won the love of young consumers with its excellent appearance, handling performance, and perfect power performance.

As for Octavia, it is even more popular with low-end income people, after all, the car is too affordable.

In 4 months, a brand new brand was able to sell more than 100,000 vehicles in the United States, and it is speculated that there will be a greater blowout trend in the future.

So his office on the 42nd floor is very large, which also reflects his current position in the company, outside the office window, there is the silently flowing Erie River, and not far away is Erie Lake.

In the middle of summer in August, the view from such a high floor is really beautiful.

After inviting Jin Xiaoqiang to enjoy his office and the beautiful scenery downstairs, Nick's secretary also brought two cups of freshly brewed coffee, and the two sat down and began to cut to the chase.

"Misterkin, your previous moves in the stock market were really beautiful, to be honest, I really didn't expect that you are not only an excellent car design master, but also a master of playing finance." …,

Nick picked up the coffee and took a sip lightly, and then said half-complimentally, half-tentatively, in fact, his temptation also implied some threatening taste.

You must know that Jin Xiaoqiang's entry into the American market, he has always been very low-key, even in his Thunderbird company, the people who know his identity, that is, so many high-level employees, and there are not many employees below who know his identity.

But Nick Reilly is talking to Jin Xiaoqiang like this, just to show that they are very well-informed.

"Hehe, it's nothing, it's just a coincidence, and the opportunity is good."

Jin Xiaoqiang said to Nick Reilly with a smile, but he was very unhappy in his heart, but he also knew that his actions were difficult to hide from the eyes of these guys, after all, he borrowed a billion dollars from them, and anyone would monitor the movement of these funds.

"Well, now the performance of the Thunderbird company, we have always noticed that this company has begun to become famous on Wall Street, I wonder how you will manage and operate this company in the future, Misterkin?"

Nick asked tentatively again.

"Hehe, this is really hard to say, it depends on the situation!"

Tai Chi is the best skill of the Celestial Empire, and Jin Xiaoqiang is certainly not weak.

"Alright! Then I'm straight to the point, I'm very interested in Mr. Jin's Thunderbird company, you borrowed a billion yuan from us before, and at that time it was said that it would be dismantled at the end of the year, but there would be a three-percent rebate. But now we are very interested in the Thunderbird investment company run by Mr. Jin, so you don't have to rush to pay back the billion, what do you think about using the billion? ”

Nick Reilly tentatively asked Jin Xiaoqiang to arrive, and when Jin Xiaoqiang heard Nick say this, he immediately smiled coldly in his heart, and sure enough, it was this idea.

These Americans are really like a flock of vultures, where there is meat, they will get a piece of the pie!

"With all due respect, Mr. Reilly, this can't be. But don't worry, your billion, before the end of the year, I will definitely pay you back with interest. ”

Jin Xiaoqiang's answer was categorical.

What kind of international joke, why do you Americans like to pick peaches so much? Do you really think that Lao Tzu is a soft persimmon, so easy to pinch?
