Pierre continued: "Chrysler's quality management team has come to the AMC plant to help us with quality control of the assembled M models! ”

The M model is a typical American car with a square head and a square brain, and it was difficult to solve it by itself due to the poor quality management of AMC and the assembly problems of the rear-wheel drive model.

As a result, Chrysler reached an agreement with AMC that the former would send a quality control team to the AMC plant, and the former would provide auto parts and conduct quality control, while the latter would only be responsible for assembly.

But Chrysler had just reached an agreement with AMC when it encountered an acquisition, and they had to re-enter into a new OEM agreement with Saturn Motor Company.

"We can learn from Chrysler's quality management methods and apply their experience to all of our production lines to improve our quality control," says Pierre. ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said, "I agree with this, only by improving quality can there be a future for AMC company!" ”

Pierre nodded and continued: "In the past, AMC's core business was compact cars, and in this regard, we are not only facing pressure from the three major American auto giants, but now Japanese car manufacturers are also the most severely impacted on our core business!" ”

He looked at Lin Qiangsheng and said sincerely: "I suggest that you need to continue to invest in the development of new mid-level cars that meet a wider range of needs, temporarily abandon compact cars, AMC should carry out cooperation with Japanese car manufacturers, carry out OEM production, and establish joint venture factories, you can do it!" Now is the era of Japanese cars, why don't we share this cake together and make the company profitable as soon as possible! ”

Lin Qiangsheng looked at Pierre in surprise, he didn't expect him to say this as if the Japanese were very willing, he thought about it and didn't ask it after all. If you ask, it will seem that your level is too low. Are the Japanese willing, and why are they willing to share the cake?!

Seeing that Lin Johnson had no objections, Pierre continued: "Second, we should shift our core business to Jeep models, although the company needs to recall 100,000 vehicles because of the Cherokee rollover problem, and the loss is more than $8 million. But we still have to invest heavily in the Jeep division. This is the only department of AMC that can make money at the moment, and it will continue to expand and deepen the market for Cherokee!

And also to develop a new type of jeep, the current jeep department only has a Cherokee flagship product, the strength is thin, other car dealers launched off-road models to us is a great threat, we must continue to increase the R & D investment in this department, the jeep as the focus of the company's development! ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said: "I have a Jeep model in China, called Wrangler, I think it can be introduced to the United States!" ”

Pierre was surprised and said, "Oh. Of course, you can purchase a small batch to test first! ”

Looking at his expression, he didn't pay attention to what Lin Qiangsheng said about the Wrangler model, what off-road vehicles can China have, he continued: "Speaking of China, we have already cooperated with the north. An automobile factory in Beijing has established a joint venture plant, and perhaps we will work hard to accelerate the development of the Chinese market and generate profitability as soon as possible. We're going to work with the North. Beijing side consultations. Gradually increase the supply of Cherokee vehicle parts, especially during Vice President Bush's visit to China in September this year. He specified to visit the North. The joint venture factory in Beijing, we want to increase the scale to the level of 1,000 vehicles, how many can they assemble a month now? ”

"Less than 100 cars are assembled a month!" says Claire! ”

Pierre smiled haha, and when he saw Lin Qiangsheng looking over, he coughed embarrassedly. He knew that the young boss was Chinese, and he didn't know what the new boss's attitude was towards China.

Lin Johnson said to Pierre and Claire: "As far as I know. It is very difficult for the BAIC Cherokee plant in China to expand production capacity in the short term, but we can maintain the current level at the moment, and the production capacity of 1,000 Cherokee should be guaranteed this year. ”

"You can expand the Southeast Asian market, this region is actually in great demand for off-road models, and it is better not to have too big expectations for China!"

Pierre and Claire glanced at each other. The doubts in the eyes of the two flashed, and they both felt that the boss seemed to have a not optimistic view of the Chinese market, and they didn't know what the reason was, which was really strange.

"Southeast Asia, South America and Africa are all directions for us!" Pierre nodded.

Lin Qiangsheng stood up and said: "Pierre, these plans you put forward are very good, including closing factories, laying off employees, and joint ventures with Japanese car manufacturers, I will support you, let it go!" ”

Pierre became excited, but also said with some concern: "Okay, Mr. Lin, I will do my best!" Closing factories and laying off employees may take a little more time and money, and there may be media entanglement and union interference! ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded, and said with a serious expression: "I have been prepared for this!" ”

Soon, the news of Pierre's taking over as chairman of AMC was exposed by major media outlets, and the American car company welcomed another Frenchman.

Many media outlets were skeptical of Pierre Samorina, and at the same time, they were quite dissatisfied with Lin's appointment, and sharply criticized AMC's insistence on French rule and management style after the takeover.

"It's funny that a company called the American Automobile Company has two French leaders in a row, and after almost going bankrupt and changing owners, the American automobile company still adheres to the French style, I really don't know if the guy who bought it is out of his brain!" Washington post.

"It's still like this, so it's better for this company to be renamed the French Automobile Company from now on!" The Los Angeles Times on the West Coast also participated.

Many American media people criticized and complained about AMC's wrong decision in the press and on TV, and they were also angry that the car company still abandoned the American way.

Of course, there are still people who have a more positive attitude, the New York Times said: "The Cherokee has pure American blood, this car completely embodies the American style, there is no other car more American than its American flavor, we only hope that the Chinese and the French can insist on building this car, this is fine, what more can be done!" ”

Belch. Well, this attitude is more decadent.

Lin Qiangsheng looked at the article about AMC written in the newspaper and laughed, very happy, he was happy to accept it whether it was good or bad, isn't this the degree of attention, if only the newspaper could like it!

At this time. He was sitting in a wide Chrysler Empire four-door version of the top luxury car, which was specially booked by Lin Johnson in order to thank Chrysler for the renewal of the agreement at AMC.

He was on his way to Chicago O'Hare International Airport, home to two of the world's largest airlines, United Airlines and American Airlines, both of which have established their hubs at O'Hare Airport.

Lin Qiangsheng was going to take a flight to Tokyo, and the domestic Dongxing Group's negotiation team to Japan had already departed, along with provincial and municipal leaders, so it took some time to go through the procedures, and he planned to go to Tokyo to meet Tian Jianpeng and others. He attaches great importance to the partnership with Honda.

Belgium looked in the rearview mirror from time to time, and since he had been out of town, he had noticed a black sedan following closely behind.

In the city, he had the feeling of being followed, but he couldn't be sure, just now he changed lanes several times and found that the black car was still following closely, he finally determined that there was indeed someone watching behind, and sweat was oozing from the forehead of the big man, since he was selected by Lin Qiangsheng to be a full-time driver, he was still so nervous for the first time!

"Sir. We're being watched! The ratio hesitated for a moment and said to Lin Qiangsheng that he didn't want to hurt the boss because of his mistakes. It's better to take precautions early.

Lin Qiangsheng was puzzled for a moment, turned his head and looked at the car, only to see that there was a black Cadillac following them less than a hundred meters away, his eyesight was very good, there were 4 men sitting in the car, and the driver and co-pilot were staring at them.

"Billy. Pull over and see what they want to do! Lin Qiangsheng commanded.

Billy shouted, "But boss, I don't have a gun, what if they are dealing with you, you can't stop!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng asked, "How do you know that they are dealing with me?" ”

Billy tilted his head sideways and said anxiously, "I'm just a little person. You're the boss, and of course you're going to deal with it! ”

Lin Qiangsheng smiled bitterly and said, "You are smart!" ”

"Jingle bell!"

At this moment, the car phone suddenly rang, Lin Qiangsheng picked up the microphone, and an urgent female voice immediately came from the phone.

"Lin, I'm Mary Gretel, don't talk and listen to me!"

"You're followed by people from the French intelligence service, who have come to arrest you and want to take you to France! However, the French did not have permission from the US government, they acted on their own, so now you don't stop, just rush to O'Hare airport, our people will pick you up there! ”

Lin Qiangsheng asked in surprise and confusion: "Why did the French intelligence bureau arrest me?" ”

Mary Gretel said, "Do you know the man George Bay? ”

Lin Qiangsheng quickly recalled and said: "He is the chairman of Renault!" ”

"He's dead!" Mary Gretel said heavily, and then she told Lin Qiangsheng a shocking news: "He was assassinated, and the French suspect that you did it!" ”

"What, why do they suspect me?" Lin Qiangsheng asked in surprise.

Mariegrete said on the phone: "We have information that this assassination is related to a man named Lyon, and he is a lobbyist hired by you, and it is this person who planned the assassination, and now the French are directly suspecting you, and they suspect that you are also involved in this assassination!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng was surprised again, and hurriedly said: "Wait, why did Leon kill George Bay, and where is Leon, this bastard, why haven't I seen him for a while!" ”

"He's out of the United States, and he's not in France!" I'll talk about it when I see you, the assassination has something to do with your acquisition of AMC! ”

Hang up the phone Lin Qiangsheng asked Billy to speed up to the airport, he was still in a state of shock, why did Leon kill George Bay, the matter of Renault Lin Qiangsheng didn't pay too much attention to it, and now it seems that something big must have happened that he didn't notice!

And Lin Qiangsheng was even more shocked that the chairman of a huge multinational group was assassinated, and Renault still signed an acquisition agreement with him as usual, which is too surprising!

Could it be that something red in the movie. Naked agents, what killer 47 is really not successful, this world is really crazy! (To be continued.) )

PS: PS: George Bay was assassinated in '86 for opposing the sale of AMC!

And because of the protagonist's involvement, he died a year early, Amen!
