Saturn Motors Headquarters in Springhills, Tennessee, USA

"Thank you, Mr. Huddle, let's start next......" Jiang Yelin didn't even take a pencil to write and draw in the notebook in front of him, and when Deng Huddle, the president of Saturn Motors, finished speaking, he directly turned his gaze to the bald middle-aged man with glasses on his left, Charlie Moncent, the current CFO of Saturn Motors.

"Ahem, chairman, colleagues, contemptible Charlie Moncent, 40 years old this year, served as the CFO of Saturn Motors three years ago, joined General Motors for fifteen years, before the European division and General Motors headquarters engaged in financial work, Harvard Business School graduated in 78, has been engaged in finance, the current net assets of Saturn Motors is 1.8 billion, total assets of 4.5 billion, the asset-liability ratio is 60%, the company's liquidity is 400 million, because this listing IPO is a stock share issuance, As a result, $2.511 billion of the 900 million shares of Saturn Motors in the IPO were recovered by GM headquarters as investment income...... If the capacity is to be expanded, shareholders will need to continue to invest in the capital, or a second round of financing in the market, such as the issuance of a three-year bond for Saturn Motors...... I'm done! ”

Charlie Moncent is a Swiss-American, his parents are Jewish, the Moncent family holds shares in Credit Suisse First Boston, of course, compared to the behemoth Credit Suisse First Boston, it is only a small shareholder, this Charlie classmate lost his mother at an early age, the banker's father married a young and beautiful Hollywood stepmother and gave birth to a bunch of younger brothers and sisters, as the eldest son, he has been independent since high school, and he has won a full scholarship to Harvard Business School with excellent character and academics, and he is a good hand in finance, It's hard to say about emotional intelligence when you are a person, anyway, it gives colleagues a feeling that they are not easy to get along with in business.

"Thank you, Mr. Moncent, the next ......" Jiang Yelin didn't say much when he heard this, he knew that the guys in front of him had at least been immersed in General Motors for more than ten years and had worked hard for more than ten years, and now he was parachuted in to be the chairman of the board of directors by such a hairy boy with gold-rimmed glasses and a mustache.

The next one is naturally sitting on the right side of the conference table, next to the president and CEO of Saturn Motors, Jill Lexton, who looks to be in his early thirties and has outstanding charm in Saturn Motors, with fiery red hair that seems to show off the unruly personality of this mature female eldest sister's engineering woman, and her voice is crisp and loud.

"Chairman, President, CFO, colleagues, I, Jill Lexton, 36 years old, Brian, Wisconsin, graduated from the University of Wisconsin Greenbay Business School, worked in General Motors for 13 years, mainly responsible for R&D and sales, worked in the Chevrolet Division and North America Division, entered Saturn Motors in 85 years, transferred from the marketing department to the R&D department 3 years ago, Saturn Motors' current bottleneck in addition to production capacity, R&D is also a short board, In fact, the disconnect between market demand and R&D has not been well solved, which leads to our new cars although they are popular but the cost is always weak, otherwise our gross profit is not 17% but at least 25%! ”

Founded in 1965, the University of Wisconsin Greenbay is a very young college, but in terms of business school, it can rank in the top 20 in the United States, but Jiang Yelin also wondered, how did this marketing heroine transfer from the marketing department to lead the R&D department? A layman leads an insider? Or is it that market expansion has hit the ceiling and R&D has always dropped the chain, so this baby-faced royal sister personally runs the R&D department? I don't know who the supporters behind her are, Owen Bieber or Smith? Who can play as well as she does without a back-stage?

The next one is Albert Caye, the general manager of the manufacturing department next to the CFO Monteson on the left, who is not at all like a blue-collar worker-turned-general manager of the manufacturing department, but like the pot-bellied banker that is commonplace on Wall Street, with a rosacea, small eyes, a wide mouth, and a garlic nose.

"Ladies and gentlemen, contemptible Albert Caye, graduated from Chunshan Community College, entered General Motors for 25 years, is 45 years old this year, and has been the manager of the manufacturing department for 7 years...... The treatment of workers is too low, and this situation will not change, not to mention the annual output of 150,000 vehicles, 120,000 vehicles are enough to choke ...... That's it! ”

In North American automobile manufacturing companies, executives with financial backgrounds are the most likely to become presidents and CEOs, and most presidents and CEOs have CFO workplace experience before taking office, followed by executives with marketing backgrounds, after all, marketing and sales are the leaders and navigators of the manufacturing industry, followed by executives from design and development, as for executives from manufacturing, there is basically no hope of becoming presidents and CEOs, let alone entering the board of directors or something.

The automobile manufacturing industry is a pillar industry of a powerful country such as the United States imperialism in developed industrial countries, which is labor-intensive, capital-intensive and technology-intensive, which not only solves a large number of jobs but also creates taxes and profits, and at the same time continues to make progress in technology. Just for the sake of the votes and votes, it is already too idle to offend.

"Next ......" Jiang Yelin quietly played with the lighter in his hand, and his eyes did not stay on the manufacturing manager for too long, in his opinion, the blue-collar workers in the United States are that image, and it is wishful thinking to train the blue-collar workers in North America to become automobile manufacturing workers in island countries in the short term.

The next one is Dunnes Sweet, the general manager of the marketing department sitting opposite Fat Cayenne, who is tall and personable, and looks probably the most handsome one in the entire conference room except for Jiang Yelin, the chairman, "Chairman, everyone, contemptible Dunneth Sweet, a native of Michigan, general manager of the marketing department, 38 years old this year, has been in General Motors for 15 years, and was previously responsible for marketing in General Motors North America and General Motors Europe, entered the Saturn Automotive Division in 85 years, and served as the marketing manager three years ago, We all know that the limitation of the development of Saturn cars is not in our marketing, but in production capacity, not that I blow, if the factory of old Caye can produce 500,000 taels of Saturn cars this year, my boys can also sell out all 500,000 cars! ”

Sweet's rhetoric did not attract too many repercussions, everyone knows that engaging in marketing and marketing is their capital to support their families, not to mention that people grasp the lack of production capacity as a shield, in the case of Saturn's current production capacity of only 150,000 vehicles, what can be sold 500,000 vehicles, Nima is to blow you and take him has no way, because it can't be verified! Maybe they can sell 500,000 cars?!

"Next ......" Jiang Yelin himself is the initiator of the rhetoric, of course he hopes that this Dunnes Sweet can sell 500,000 new cars a year, but there must be an insurmountable gap between hope and reality, this Dunneth Sweet's popularity among the senior management of Saturn is obviously not good, otherwise the group of colleagues sitting below after he finished saying just now would not have given a little applause.

The next one is Ms. Helen Lessey, general manager of human resources and public relations, sitting opposite Sweet, and one of the two women in Saturn's executives. "General Manager of Human Resources and Public Relations, Helen Lacey, I don't want to mention my age, the roster of the chairman is on the roster, I have been working at General Motors for ten years, three years ago in my current position, graduated from the Harvard School of Public Relations, double doctorate in media and psychology, Saturn's production capacity is certainly one of the bottlenecks, but more importantly, the relationship between the market position and the parent company, and the company's other subsidiary brands, I think this is the key to future development......"

Helen Lacey is actually only 32 years old this year, this talented girl entered Harvard on a full scholarship at the age of 16, graduated with a double master's degree 4 years later, entered the internship in the public relations department of General Motors, and by the age of 24, she had already earned her first doctorate degree, and in another two years, she got a second doctorate degree in psychology, Lacey's father is Frank Lacey, a senior vice president of General Motors, so it is a natural choice for a woman to become a father as the youngest daughter of Lacey's family. "Next ......" Jiang Yelin seemed to turn a blind eye to the cold and arrogant beauty of the general manager of the human resources and public relations department, and directly drooped his eyes and said the next, but there was a cold field, it turned out that the general manager of the first-level department of Saturn Automobile who attended the meeting today, and on the right hand side of the conference table sat Deng Hudel, president and CEO, Jill Lexton, general manager of R&D, and Dunnes Sweet, general manager of marketing, and on the left was CFO Charlie Moncent, general manager of the manufacturing department Albert Caye, Helen Lacey, general manager of human resources and public relations, the only one who did not speak was Taylor Swift, director of the president's office and secretary of the board of directors, who sat across from Jiang Yelin. "Is it my turn? I am Taylor Swift, a graduate of Yale Business School, joined General Motors five years ago, Saturn Motors three years ago, and currently serve as the director of the President's Office and the secretary of the board of directors...... That's pretty much it! “
