1188. in the first place
The more he learned about Saab, the more surprised Li Yifan became, because there were too many treasures in this seemingly bankrupt company.
And the more he understood, the more Li Yifan discovered that GM definitely loves this godson!
Because just last year, they not only sent Saab epsilon platform, but also used another platform, this platform is a platform specifically for SUVs, based on this platform, Saab is developing an SUV, ready to be named 9-4X, and this 9-4X, like other models launched by Saab, is destined to be a cheat.
However, it does not prevent other famous brands born on this platform, such as the high-end SUV of General Motors, Cadillac's SRX......
It seems that God is really enough to save face, and this time it is destined to be a full load.
Li Yifan pondered, but there are still many questions he has to worry about next, that is, how to get these things from Sabo's hands.
The next day, at his beckoning, Heidi flew back early in the morning, and after a morning's rest, the two stayed in the conference room of the castle from the afternoon to conspire, and discussed it for three days.
Later, Heidi also recruited a few henchmen, and everyone came together to discuss, the reason why Heidi did this was actually to recommend talents to Li Yifan.
In this advisory group under her, there are many people who are proficient in mechanical manufacturing, but most of these talents can't play a big role on her side now.
These people are proficient in the operation and management of machinery, or automobile manufacturing industry. But there weren't many opportunities to show their talents.
First, Belgium's industrial scale is relatively small. Second, to what is now Western Europe. In terms of industry, it has entered the post-golden era, and the mechanical processing and manufacturing industry in Western Europe has entered a stage of decline without exception, except for the Germans who resisted the banner.
After all, the treatment and welfare of workers in Western European countries are too high, resulting in a significant increase in costs. Many enterprises involved in manufacturing are reluctant to set up factories in Western Europe, but instead invest in large-scale factories in China.
These talents, who remain in her hands, are only idle most of the time except when she is going to play straight to the operation, such as buying some factories of mechanical columns, and being able to give her some advice when they spin off the auction.
This is undoubtedly a waste of talent, and these people are also really capable. Since Li Yifan wants to enter the field of machinery manufacturing and automobile manufacturing.
You can recommend these talents to him. He's going to be able to use them.
And to involve these people in this plan, on the one hand, is to show their trust in them, and on the other hand, to tie them to their own warship.
After all, Western Europeans are very particular about professional ethics, and they are very jealous and disgusted with such theft of business information and secrets, but if they are willing to participate in this plan, it means that they are loyal to themselves and willing to do anything for themselves, and such people are certainly trustworthy.
And this kind of thing is also quite a test of courage, after all, if the things they planned leaked out, it would definitely be a big disaster, and everyone present would definitely face legal sanctions.
Of course, Heidi would not give them such a chance, and if anyone wanted to do so, then the suburbs of Antwerp would not mind a few more corpses the next day......
Bendtner. Sorensen, a design engineer at Saab, is young, only twenty-eight years old, but has been with Saab for five years.
After graduating from RMIT in Stockholm with a degree in mechanical engineering, he came to Saab and was confident that he would be able to do it in a few years.
But soon, the cruel reality shattered his plump ideals.
The current Saab is no longer the glamorous Saab of the 70s, it is now an unpopular brand, except for some fans in the rest of Europe, not many people are willing to pay for such a niche brand.
The upper echelons of the company are not unaware of this situation, but they are still blindly optimistic about their own old-fashioned thinking, which is completely the old-fashioned small-scale peasant thinking, and they are self-sufficient in everything.
Engine management system, self-design and production, transmission system, self-design and production, chassis tuning, platform update, or self-design and production.
Almost everything has to be designed and produced by themselves, and if it weren't for the climate in Sweden that is not suitable for growing rubber, they would have to design and produce their own tires.
Such a set, of course, has its own advantages, that is, the technology can be inherited in an all-round way, but in the long run, it will definitely be abandoned by the current world integration process in full swing.
Now that we have entered the era of the global village, many things can actually be purchased from outside, and the quality of those parts purchased is not necessarily worse than that of self-produced, and may even be of better quality, but the price is cheaper.
However, the management of the company's old antiques is to hold the old market and not replace it, so it is willing to engage in self-production and self-sale.
And they don't know that if they persist like this, they can only be excluded from the new system of the world.
It wasn't until the first two years that the Americans wholly owned the company, and then lost money for two consecutive years, and the Americans finally couldn't bear it, fired the original Swedish top management of several companies in one go, and then sent a few managers from the United States.
The new ideas and some foreign technologies brought by these Americans are not necessarily better than Saab's own, but they are definitely not bad.
They planned to use the Saab brand to launch new products, but Bendtner, as a design engineer, knew very well that if the new products developed according to the ideas of the Americans, they were actually just generic products with the Saab logo.
On the one hand, he hopes that the company can take the route of globalization and change its business philosophy and attitude as soon as possible, and on the other hand, the integration he hopes for is not the kind advocated by the Americans.
Because of that, Saab completely lost its own characteristics and became a general-purpose OEM factory.
This made Bendtner very confused, and now the whole company, it can be said that there is such a mood everywhere, many technicians in the design and development department have such confusion, and even gradually began to have hostile feelings towards those Americans who once had high expectations.
After all, the Americans are too arrogant, and as soon as they came up, they completely denied the concept that these engineers have adhered to for many years, and according to their approach, what is the slogan of Saab's multi-person and vehicle-integrated and flying close to the ground? Do you want more?
For the company's concept of developing new models, there are even many engineers and new American leaders, who have launched a fierce confrontation.
But the consequences can be imagined, because of the national law of Sweden, employees cannot be fired at will, so although these engineers kept their jobs, they were all boycotted by the Americans without exception, to put it bluntly, they were kicked out and stood aside.
If you can stick to your philosophy, then I don't need you to develop new cars, and they were evicted from their original headquarters in Trollhattan in the name of job adjustments, and they were all transferred to the transmission factory in Wigel in the name of job adjustments.
Originally, this was the transmission production plant for Saab, but now I heard that it seems that it is intended to sell this company to the Germans.
Damn, these ruthless Yankees, they used to hope that they could save Saab, judging from their current actions, where are they here to save Saab, they are clearly here to destroy Saab.
Thinking of this, Bendtner couldn't help but roll his eyes, and then spat on the ground fiercely.
It's August, it's a rare summer of the year, and Wiggle is a small city with a population of no more than 100,000, but now the city is empty, and most of the people are out on vacation.
Sweden is a small country, but the welfare of its citizens is very high, because it is located near the Arctic Circle, where there are more than six months of winter a year, so every year the citizens go abroad in large numbers to go on vacation in the tropics.
Go in winter and go in summer, people here love warmth.
If you have more money, you will go to the United States, Spain, and Australia, and if you have less money, you will go to Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
Bendtner also wanted to go on vacation, but he couldn't afford it, he was a senior engineer at Saab, and his salary was not low, but his expenses were also very large.
He is not married, but he has an old mother who is bedridden all the year round, and although Sweden has good welfare benefits, he also has to bear a lot of medical expenses.
And he's still an alcoholic, and he has a gambling habit, so now he not only has no savings, but also owes a lot of money outside.
There is a credit card debt owed to the bank, and there is ...... It's a gambling debt to those villains.
Things have been getting worse in Sweden in recent years, with all sorts of people coming in from all over the world to become new nationals of the country.
The largest number of them were two living people, one group from Serbia and Montenegro in Eastern Europe, where many Serbs and Croats poured into Sweden as war refugees after the break-up of Yugoslavia to become new nationals of the country.
And now there are a lot of people coming to the Middle East, especially in war-torn areas like Iraq, and there are also a lot of people coming to Sweden as war refugees.
These damn guys...... (To be continued......)
