The two sides had lunch at a high-end restaurant, and Dadwadai changed his arrogant posture and began to chat with Lin Qiangsheng enthusiastically about the hot sales of the Grand Jielong model, and also praised the genius creativity of the designers of Saturn Motor Company, and the attitude towards this acquisition took a 180-degree turn.

The reason for the complicity was that he asked Iacocca again in the morning, and Iacocca made it clear to him that Chrysler did not have such a large cash flow now, and it was impossible to acquire AMC in the short term.

In order to cope with the financial crisis, Renault is very urgent to need foreign capital investment, and he is required to be cautious about Lin Johnson's acquisition plan.

After all, Dadwaldai is a Frenchman, sent by the parent company Renault, although he thinks that selling the American car company to a Chinese is not very good, but the pressure from the headquarters is not something he can bear, for his own future, he needs to explain to the parent company, although the AMC is taken out!

"Mr. Lin, this kind of model of Dajielong luxury business car is very marketable in the future, I have read reports and comments on it, I have to say that this car is very high-end and very luxurious, you have done your best, how did you think of launching such a model?" Dedwadai gave Lin Qiangsheng a little praise, and the old man also had the qualifications to test whether Lin Qiangsheng was capable of leading the huge automobile factory AMC, and he didn't want his successor to be an idiot who didn't understand anything.

Yes, that's what the old man thinks, although the contempt of Europeans and Americans for the Chinese in industry has not been shown, he always believes that it is impossible for a Chinese to have much achievement in the automobile industry, and their contribution to world industry is almost equal to zero!

Capita, Claire, and Foley also looked at Lin Johnson, and they also wanted to know what the young man in front of them would do with the company if he bought AMC. Several people also lingered on whether to quit their jobs and find another job, but with this experience at AMC, it was almost inevitable that their future job search would be bumpy, and Claire and Foley were hesitant to leave.

Lin Qiangsheng wiped his mouth and said to the Dadwadai people: "The reason why we launched this luxury model is to take into account the improvement of the American economy. The promotion of the consumer market, the current American people are more confident to welcome a better life!

Unlike Europe's economy, which was still in decline, the U.S. economy began to show signs of success in '83, and growth momentum was already evident in '84.

The development potential of the new economy is huge, new technologies such as computers, communications, and information networks have ushered in an explosive period, while the financial industry and service industry, and the tourism industry are also growing relatively fast, and these industries have absorbed a large number of employed people, and the economic policies of the Reagan administration are also more beneficial to large economies, and large companies will be easier to get funds to expand their scale!

And. At present, the three major automobile giants of General Motors, Ford and Chrysler have increased their investment in themselves, which can be seen from this point, these peers have also made a favorable forecast for the economic environment in the United States, improving the appearance of the model, increasing electronic configuration, enriching the product line, and meeting the expectations of consumers, which has become an urgent need for automobile manufacturers! ”

Speaking of which. Lin Qiangsheng glanced at the four AMC family members with disdain, and said softly: "In my opinion, AMC has been messing around all these years. Except for a little bigger, there's not much left!

It was a very wise decision for you to choose me, and I am the only one who can bring this business back to life! ”

Several people looked at each other, although what Lin Qiangsheng said was a little ugly, but they had little room to refute.

Lin continued: "After I take over AMC, I will immediately invest heavily in replacing the production line. Replenish fresh blood to AMC and develop new models. Of course, this factory still has some heritage, and that's what I bought it for! ”

Kaipei and others immediately heard from Lin Qiangsheng's words that he had the intention of expanding investment in AMC, and then thought that Saturn Automobile's Dajielong model was very popular in the market. For this year's sales, market commentators have made a good prediction, as long as Saturn Automobile Company guarantees product quality, I believe that the future of Dajielong is bright!

However, there is also news that Saturn Automobile Company has been troubled by its own lack of production capacity, if it acquires AMC at this time, it will definitely expand the production capacity of Saturn Automobile, at least AMC's ability in OEM is still enough to be competent for the production of Dajielong, and it will solve the problem of insufficient production capacity at once, which is beneficial to Saturn and the investor in front of him.

And several of them thought in their hearts that AMC would not necessarily decline in the future, and maybe it would rise again under the leadership of this young rich man!

Dadwadai also thought of this, and he also thought that if Saturn got AMC, it was very likely that the company would be completely turned over, at least for a few years without worrying about the risk of going out of business.

Thinking of this, the French had to find that they really had no achievements in the position of chairman of AMC, and the best result was to sell it smoothly, and it was best to sell it at a good price!

So the two sides reached a preliminary intention, and communicated on the negotiation matters, and Lin Qiangsheng also learned about the problems in the factory from several people.

They first held preliminary negotiations on the placement of workers, and AMC is a large automaker with a large number of workers. Although the sun sets in this company, it still has 4 large automobile production plants and 6 assembly plants, 8 auto parts supporting factories and many downstream cooperative joint stock companies, in addition to the company is also involved in financial investment, vehicle insurance loans and many other industries, is a total number of employees of more than 30,000 people, involving more than 100,000 social jobs of giant enterprises!

Another thing that has to be said is that the American automobile company used to be the parent company that produced the Humvee military off-road vehicle AMG, and in 1983 the U.S. military signed a contract with AMG for the first supply of 55,000 Humvee military off-road vehicles. In the same year, the American company Lin-Temko-Vought (LTV) acquired AMG Motors from American Motor Corporation, and Hummer was later transferred to General Motors.

Hummer used to be AMC, so the American car company is actually quite strong in the technology of off-road models, and it is not as worthless as Lin Johnson said!

Considering that many of AMC's employees are now dissatisfied with the company, and they are still taking action, Lin Johnson will definitely carry out a purge after taking over the company, but fortunately this is not Detroit, there is no such strong auto union, and the workers' actions are not in the climate.

As a party to the sale, Dadwadai certainly hopes to sell AMC to a good family, keeping workers as much as possible, and not laying off workers, but he also knows that this is not possible.

"I can only promise that I will do everything I can to restore production, but you know, because there are so many problems with AMC, and workers are the most direct factor, I will definitely make appropriate layoffs after the acquisition, and those saboteurs must be driven out of the company!"

Although Dedwaldai was not very satisfied with Lin's answer, it was basically like that, even if it was sold to Chrysler, Iacocca would only do it more ruthlessly.

So he nodded and said: "I hope Mr. Lin is right, these workers are ordinary people, and their loss of jobs also means that family expenses are reduced, which is also very bad for the company's image and public opinion!" ”

Lin Johnson also knows that although layoffs are common in the United States, large companies like AMC still have a great impact on their own image from layoffs.

After eating, the four of them accompanied Lin Qiangsheng to visit the Renault foundry, which also has a new production line, Renault replaced several production lines for this company after acquiring AMC, and the French are looking forward to expanding their sales in the United States and expanding the market size of French cars.

But it's a pity that Renault itself doesn't give its best, the romance of the French Americans doesn't understand, French cars sell in the United States in a mess, and their models are at the bottom of the sales ranking every year.

In this way, it is very unnecessary to maintain AMC, a company on the verge of bankruptcy, in the eyes of the headquarters, this company has become a burden, in order to support these workers, it is necessary to continue to increase investment in it, but it is better to meet a good buyer and sell it!
