Chapter 745: The Public is Also in a Hurry (Third Shift Arrives)
20 million US dollars, even in the United States in 1992 is enough to do a lot of things, just this year, the international crude oil fell below the $10 a barrel mark for the first time, not only created the lowest international crude oil price after the Gulf War, but also created the lowest international crude oil price in the past 20 years, perhaps many people think that Americans are full of millionaires, multimillionaires and even billionaires, in fact, this is not the case at all, 20 million US dollars, Even in the eyes of many wealthy Americans, it seems to be a huge amount.
Lin Hongfei did not hesitate, as a political investment, if possible, even to increase the success rate of one percentage point is worth it, he immediately said, "Very good, then we will use $20 million as the campaign funding limit, how much you raise, if it is not enough, I will make up for it for you through other channels." ”
Plum. Iacoka was overjoyed! With Lin Hongfei's words, he can already be sure that one of his feet has stepped into the door of the Senate. Iacocca trembled with excitement, shook Lin Hongfei's hand hard, opened his mouth, his mouth trembled twice, and said to Lin Hongfei, "Lin, as long as we can continue to cooperate, I guarantee that the Iacocca family will be your company's most loyal ally in North America!" ”
The most loyal political ally in North America? Lin Hongfei smiled, "I like this title, come, let's toast to our union!" ”
"Cheers!" Plum. Iacocca gently touched the goblet in his hand on Lin Hongfei's wine glass, and drank the mellow champagne in the wine glass!
No one mentions whether or not to implement a cooperation contract or anything like that, which is not written down on paper, and any politician has an instinctive hatred for what can be recorded, of course, if it is his opponent's thing. That's a different story, but not being recorded on paper doesn't mean that Lee. In fact, this kind of support has been prepared by the entire U.S. Congress, no one can tolerate the appearance of such a rule-breaking guy, you can be my friend, or my opponent, but you can't be a rule-breaker, otherwise you will threaten everyone's jobs, it's that simple.

The government and the media attach great importance to the cooperation between Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and Chrysler Automobiles. Although the arrogant attitude and unruliness of the public have made many people make a lot of money, it has also made many people dissatisfied, who has always been Lao Tzu, who suddenly wants to be a grandson of a group of yellow-haired and green-eyed white-skinned pigs, who can stand it? Before, it couldn't be helped. But now, thanks to Chrysler's cooperation with Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Everyone doesn't mind taking this opportunity to tap the public a little. For a time, newspapers and media were full of reports about the cooperation between the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and Chrysler Automobile of the United States.
The "Friends of the Automobile" magazine even urgently launched a small supplement when this issue of the magazine was published, which was sent together with the main issue, which not only contained the expectations and prospects for the cooperation between the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and Chrysler Automobiles, but also revealed the "spy photos" of several models cooperated by the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. with Chrysler Automobiles...... As soon as the mighty and domineering Hummer appeared in the magazine, it immediately aroused the cheers of the majority of car enthusiasts.
But in this case. Volkswagen is uncomfortable, Volkswagen is not stupid, they have long set up a strategic analysis department to analyze the country's policy trend and the international economic trend. To provide a decision-making basis for Volkswagen's decision-making, the republic's reaction to the cooperation between Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and Chrysler Automobile Co., Ltd. was sent to Volkswagen's headquarters at the first time.
"The attitude of the Chinese is already obvious, our previous actions have angered them, we have enough reason to believe that the Chinese are warning us in this way, for which we have also lost a branch manager, and now, we need to seriously discuss how we should deal with it next?"
The chairman who presided over the meeting patted the documents on the table and said that when he lost a branch, his face was very ugly, and everyone knew who Mr. Lu Dao was talking about, and the "mutiny" of Rostock slapped the arrogant directors in the face.
No one spoke, almost all the directors present at the meeting lowered their noble heads that they would never bow in their daily lives, no one was stupid, everyone knew that the public's previous slow reaction and arrogant attitude had made the Chinese lively, and their warning came.
It's just that even if it has reached this level, the arrogant Volkswagen is still as arrogant as ever, and the largest shareholder of the company, the representative of the Lower Saxony state government, is still slapping the table and shouting, "No, we must teach those damned Chinese a lesson, and let them know what kind of fate will happen to Volkswagen if they dare to offend us!" I think it is necessary to send a note to the Chinese government asking for the cancellation of the cooperation between the two sides! ”
As soon as the representative of the state government of Lower Saxony said this, almost all the shareholder representatives or the shareholders themselves were looking at this bastard with the eyes of fools. A shareholder who does not have a high stake and rarely expresses his opinions on weekdays suddenly couldn't help but slammed the table, "Mr. Daniel, before you say this, you have to figure out what is the annual profit of Volkswagen in the European and North American markets, and what is the annual profit in the Chinese market!" For a market that contributes 30% of its profits to the public every year, I think it is necessary to maintain enough respect, if Mr. Daniel insists on canceling cooperation with the Chinese, all losses will be borne by you, and I will definitely not bear any losses caused by this! ”
Volkswagen's arrogance, but more than half of it is caused by the largest shareholder of Volkswagen, not only the small shareholder's dissatisfaction with Lower Saxony has accumulated for a long time, but also many shareholders have accumulated a lot of resentment against Lower Saxony, and now someone jumped out and kicked the largest shareholder of Lower Saxony, and others naturally did not be too polite to him, and immediately some people echoed, "That's right, yes, we will never bear the losses caused by this, and you, Mr. Danny, You must compensate us for the losses caused to us as a result! ”
The meeting, which was still discussing how to deal with it, immediately turned into a meeting of mutual accusations and blame-shifting, and the office was suddenly in chaos, and even some shareholders began to slap the table and shout fiercely, and the whole scene was chaotic, which was not much better than the chaos when the parliaments of some countries met as soon as they met...... There is nothing wrong with the fact that shareholders and shareholders are naturally enemies.
Faced with this situation, the chairman, or the chairman of the board of directors, finally couldn't help it, slapped the table hard, and said angrily, "Stop me!" Damn, damn the Americans have already hit our door, and you are still arguing with me here? Whoever continues to quarrel with me, then get out of the way for me! ”
Theoretically, the chairman of the board of directors is not qualified to kick the big guys out of the city, but isn't that a special situation?
Mr. President's threat is still very effective, and the few people who had just quarreled finally closed their mouths: no one is stupid, Zhilu Dao This time is not a good time to quarrel at all, and it is only right to think about countermeasures when you have this time.
"I suggest that we work with the Chinese to produce higher-end models, that the Audi V8 be produced in cooperation with the Chinese, and that targeted improvements be made to the Chinese market according to the needs of the Chinese," Mr. Chairman has obviously been thinking about this issue for a long time, and now he is taking this opportunity to put his words out, "Although Lin Hongfei and his Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. have caused us a lot of trouble, we must admit that he taught us to give proper respect to our customers and told us." , the needs of our Chinese customers ......"
Speaking of this, Mr. Chairman smiled treacherously, "Since they like cars with large spaces, then we will give them cars with large spaces." ”
Yes, the Germans do not understand what the Chinese like such a big car, Lin Hongfei designed the Fukang sedan they naturally have carefully studied, although only more than 2.8 meters of wheelbase, but the sense of space created in the car is enough to compare with those C-class luxury cars with a wheelbase of about 3 meters, but do not understand that it doesn't matter, as long as you know the needs of customers.
But the representative of the state government of Lower Saxony, who was obviously a typical eater, immediately objected, "No, Mr. President, I am against this, the Audi V8 is our most advanced model, the pride of our public, I do not think that the Chinese are qualified to cooperate with us in the production of this car." ”
"Really?" Mr. Chairman finally couldn't help the stupidity of this bastard, last time it was because of this bastard that the cooperation between Volkswagen and Lin Hongfei passed by, this time this bastard is here again, Mr. President is not a good-natured person, he waved his hand, "Since Mr. Daniel thinks so, then we can raise our hands to vote, do you think we should cooperate with the Chinese Audi V8, just like the way we cooperated with them before with the Audi 100?" ”
How does it work with the Audi 100? Mr. Chairman's words made everyone's eyes suddenly light up, and the big guys raised their hands in unison...... Who cares who that damn Daniel is at this time?
