Chapter 1009 Secretary of State's Car (Second Shift)

"No, I want to build a state-of-the-art machining center in the whole republic, and these equipment are my personal property," Lin Hongfei smiled proudly, "I know that the people of Batumi will definitely check these equipment regularly, it doesn't matter, they just check it." ”

This is also a regulation of Batumi, some high-precision military production and processing equipment must not be sold to the Red Republic, but some things are between military and civilian, and this is a little difficult to deal with: you say this thing is military? But I purchased it back as a civilian use, and you can't embargo civilian equipment in Batumi, right?

The embargo is not forbidden, Batumi also has to consider, these things are high value-added products, if the ban is too much, annoying the big bosses behind, the big bosses will inevitably be a little unhappy, so a compromise method was introduced: you can buy these dual-use things, I can also sell them to you, but you can only use them for civilian use, not for military use, and I want to regularly inspect these equipment, lest you use them for the production of military equipment.

Logically speaking, this is very bullying: I bought this thing back for real money, why are you pointing fingers? Do you care whether Lao Tzu is used to produce shovels or missiles?

But this world is so fucked up, NATO led by the United States is such a bandit, for example, Xiaowanwan spent a lot of money to buy AIM-120 medium-range air-to-air missiles from Xiaomi, and it can only be kept at Xiaomi's home, Xiaowanwan has to seek Xiaomi's consent in advance when he wants to use it: Uncle Mi, do you think this AIM-120 can be used for me? —

"Ah......h Iacocca was a little surprised: This is not the style of Lin Hongfei's kid.

He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Actually, if you really want these things, you can compromise them as part of our Chrysler Motors' investment in China." I think your government would also be very welcoming to this type of investment in kind...... Believe me, if you do this, there will definitely be no people in Batumi who will check the use of these devices. ”

"No, I said, these things are my personal property," Lin Hongfei spread his hands, although his attitude was unusually firm, but there was a little helplessness in his free and easy, "This is my thing, no one should try to mess around." ”

"That's right. Iacoca," Lin Hongfei stood up to leave, and then turned to Li. "Iacoca, as a friend. Let me remind you that you only have one day to discuss this. If you can't come up with a result. I'll tell Ford about it...... Lincoln has been suppressed by Cadillac for so many years, and he can't snatch back his throne from Cadillac, and I think they must be very interested in my approach. ”

————————————————————————

Lin Hongfei said that if Chrysler cars were so slow to move again, he would tell Ford about this method, which frightened many people.

"Iacoca, are you sure that bastard is telling the truth?" Even now, Chrysler Motors' directors have had some hard time believing that Mr. Lin's words were true. A director who was urgently called back from Las Vegas pounded the table against Lee. "We are a strategic partner with his company, we have a good mutual trust mechanism, and we are ...... most important partner of his company in North America."

"That's right!"

Plum. Iacocca frowned. It was not until the 300-pound stout director finished squirting that he spoke, "Mr. Acheson, you are all right, but this idea belongs to Lin Hongfei himself, and as far as the current situation is concerned, one thing I need to remind the directors of is that it seems that Lin Hongfei and his Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. are far less dependent on Chrysler Motors than our Chrysler Motors are much less dependent on his Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd." ”

The implication is that Lin Hongfei's threat is not just a threat, when necessary, the threat can become real, don't think that people are just talking nonsense.

This sounds a little difficult for these directors, who are accustomed to calling for wind and rain on weekdays, to accept that as soon as the only sworn enemy, the Soviet Union, collapsed, the Americans began to swell up, and they were about to attack for a while.

Plum. Iacocca watched coldly, he knew very well that even if there were a few directors with their heads on the top of their heads, I believe that the eyes of most of the directors were still good, although the scale of Chrysler Motors was dozens of times larger than that of Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., but in terms of dependence, although it was somewhat difficult for arrogant Americans to accept, but the fact is that Chrysler Automobiles at this stage is dependent on Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Much more dependent on Chrysler cars than the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd...... This is evident from the reaction of Chrysler Motors' stock to the stock market.

Sure enough, there was no Lee. After an argument between the directors about what happened to the president and CEO, the directors finally reached a basic agreement: Lin Hongfei's threat was very real, and he couldn't be handed over to the damn Ford no matter what.

"But the conditions offered by this bastard are too much!" The 300-pound Acheson director muttered to himself, "An idea worth at least $50 million, ha...... How dare he speak! ”

It's just that everyone knows that this is a certain state legislator who is not very friendly to China, and in the face of money, the directors directly ignored Mr. Acheson's words......

"If you can do what he says, Mr. Iacoca, have you calculated how much of a pull you can do for the company?" The chairman of the board of directors, who had been silent, spoke.

As soon as these words came out, the other directors couldn't help but sit up straight, and this is what they value most: how much more money can we make because of this?

If Lin Hongfei's idea of at least $50 million can make them much more than $50 million, they don't mind coming up with $50 million...... Although the equipment on this procurement list is worth $50 million, if the directors of Chrysler Automotive Group come forward to procure, of course, it will not cost so much money, and it will be able to get it for up to $30 million.

"We calculated," said Lee. Iacocca nodded, "What if...... I mean, if we can actually do what he's talking about, and we can do that this summer, it can give us an additional 5 to 8 percent of our sales this year; As a result of this positive news, the value of the company's stock will rise by 3.5% to 6.1% and Chrysler Motors will continue to benefit for at least the next five years. ”

How's that going to be in 5 years, Lee. Iacocca didn't say, and the directors didn't ask: of course, it depends on whether Chrysler Motors can find a suitable CEO, and it doesn't have much to do with Lin Hongfei...... No matter how good the foundation is laid for you, it can't stop you from being a loser.

"In that case...... the chairman of the board of directors nodded, and as he spoke, he glanced around at all the directors in the room, "Gentlemen, vote by show of hands." ”

Plum. Iacoca's face was a little gray, with some blackness around her sunken eye sockets, and bloodshot eyes...... All this undoubtedly shows Lin Hongfei one point: Li. Iacocca slept for less than two hours last night. At this moment, this guy was thinking about Lin Hongfei's incessant complaints, or rather showing off, "Lin, do you know how much effort I put into helping you convince those damn directors?" ”

He pointed to his bloodshot eyes, like a valiant soldier showing off his battle wound to his commander, and how brave this battle wound meant for him, "Last night we had a meeting until 4 a.m., and I only slept for three and a half hours...... What the! ”

"I see, your face that pretends to be a vampire without makeup is the best proof of this," it looks like Lee. The news that Iacocca brought to himself was good, and Lin Hongfei did not hesitate to tease this guy, "Say, what are your requirements?" ”

He didn't believe that the directors of Chrysler Motors would not put forward any conditions to protect their interests while being forced to agree to their own terms.

"I really can't hide anything from you," said Lee. Iacocca sighed, feeling that no matter how far he went, he was calculated by Lin Hongfei, "The directors agreed to your request, but they put forward that if your proposal does not have the desired effect, you will return Chrysler's losses three times, and deduct it from the profits of the joint venture company between the two parties...... I know it's going to be a big hassle for the accounts, but it's a risk you should take, isn't it? ”

"That's right." Lin Hongfei sighed, but his heart relaxed: Triple compensation? That doesn't sound excessive.

Don't wait for Lee. Iacocca asked, and he took the initiative to say, "Actually, the solution is very simple, I just wonder why you haven't thought of it for so long...... Since the Lincoln Towncar and Cadillac fleetwood have always been the two special models of the US presidential car, you Chrysler no longer have the opportunity to covet the presidential car, why not find another way, not to build this Chrysler 300C into a US Secretary of State's car, with every subsequent US Secretary of State is to use a customized version of the Chrysler 300C? ”

"Secretary of State?" Lin Hongfei's words were like a spell, instantly turning Li. Iacocca froze on the spot. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
