Chapter 1008: Give Me a Reasonable Reason (One Update)

If this had been said by anyone else, Lee. Iacocca can not do the same thing, but this is what Lin Hongfei said, it is completely different, no one dares to ignore the achievements created by this guy, even if it is a professional manager who has a huge influence within Chrysler and enjoys the right to dividends.

"If you say that......" Lee. Iacoca's expression instantly became cautious, "Say, what do you want?" ”

If it can really be second only to the Lincoln Towncar and Cadillac Fleetwood, this Chrysler 300C is more than qualified to be called the most successful car in the history of American automobiles...... At least one of them...... It is qualified to be one of the three major American luxury sedan brands together with Lincoln Towncar and Cadillac Fleetwood, which has greatly enhanced the brand image of Chrysler Motors!

More importantly, it is also a huge help for my own politics.

It sounds a bit nonsense, if this Chrysler 300C designed by Lin Hongfei can become the second only model after Lincoln City and Cadillac Fretwood, and Lee. What does it matter for Iacocca to run for the Senate?

Of course, this has something to do with it, because no matter how much Lin Hongfei played a role in this, in the eyes of outsiders, the Chrysler 300C is qualified to compete with Lincoln City, Cadillac Fretwood and become one of the three major American luxury cars. What does it mean that Iacocca has single-handedly created a fist product for Chrysler, an embarrassing manufacturer that originally had no fist products? This illustrates the story of Lee. Iacoca's ability, that "god of management" has not grown old, his ability is still alive, and that's enough!

Don't forget, every member of the U.S. Congress. Whether it is a high-ranking senator or a relatively low-ranking member of the House of Representatives, almost every one of them is a millionaire and a multimillionaire, and they all have their own large companies under their names. Iacocca is the CEO and president of Chrysler Motors with total assets of tens of billions of dollars. Iacoca, the "god of management", asks for the truth, but now, everyone is also a member of Congress, and it makes sense to ask each other about how to manage a business, right?

Faced with such a reasonable and legal increase in their wealth, what reason do congressmen have to refuse such a "good friend"?

Equally. For Lee. As for Iacoca, he is not at a loss, because he can get to know more members of Congress, expand his network and circle, and when he speaks, someone echoes him...... This is the political influence of a politician.

This is the truth of Lee. Iacocca understands, and so does Lin Hongfei. So he smiled a little shyly, "I haven't thought about it yet...... But I wanted to face such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Chrysler Motors. Chrysler shouldn't be stingy. Right? ”

Shouldn't I also add a sentence "I'm Li. Iacocca is not stingy either. ”? Plum. Iacocca added in his heart, but in the face of Lin Hongfei's question, he nodded without hesitation, "Of course there is no problem...... We'll meet tomorrow? ”

Of course, such a big matter needs to be discussed in a meeting immediately.

"It's up to you." Lin Hongfei's smile became shy again.

………………………………………………………………

Chrysler cars in the early nineties have already revealed some of the flaws that led to his future decline: bureaucracy, inefficient execution, and extravagance and waste...... But capital is always sensitive. When faced with such an opportunity to increase their own strength and enable themselves to maintain the habit of luxury and waste for a longer time, Chrysler Motors showed rare efficiency.

Just the next day, in a meeting with Lin Hongfei, Li. Iacocca threw out the conditions on his side, "Lin." Chrysler Motors is deeply concerned about the current Sino-US relations, and it is an honor for Chrysler Motors to do something to promote the normalization of Sino-US relations. ”

"Iacoca, I guess you're mistaken?" Promoting the normalization of China-US relations...... For Lee. Iacoca's answer, Lin Hongfei was speechless, "Such a great thing, we just leave it to those politicians who specialize in doing this kind of thing, as for us, just do what we businessmen should do, don't you say?" ”

Of course, he has no doubt about Chrysler's influence on the US political arena, nor does he doubt how much impact Chrysler Automobile will have on the diplomatic relations between the two countries if Chrysler Motors intends to promote the normalization of Sino-US relations...... But, Nima, that's not what I want at all, dude, okay?

Lin Hongfei was speechless, but Li. Iacocca was also stunned, "Lin, if I'm not mistaken, you should be a government official of China, if you can promote the normalization of Sino-US relations, this should be a huge political achievement for you, right?" Although I don't know much about the promotion system of government officials in your country, all politicians are the same, and there are enough grades to be promoted...... There is no doubt that if you can make a dazzling performance in the process of promoting the normalization of Sino-US relations, this is a huge political achievement. ”

He spread his hands, obviously unable to figure out what Lin Hongfei would refuse.

If Lin Hongfei is a more motivated politician, maybe he will be moved, the current Sino-US relations are indeed worrying, but unfortunately, he is familiar with the future direction of Sino-US relations and does not care about this at all.

"No, no, no, that's not what I want," Lin Hongfei waved his hand, the current boss Lin had the feeling of talking about a chicken and a duck, in order to avoid further misunderstandings between the two sides, he simply took out a piece of paper and handed it to Li. Iacoca, "Iacoca, I want 5% of Chrysler's net profit this year, and use this 5% profit as collateral, Chrysler Motors will help me purchase some equipment, if you think it's okay, then we will cooperate." ”

Chrysler's net profit for the full year in 1992 was $820 million...... If it weren't for luxury, enjoyment, and waste, Chrysler's net profit in 1992 would have reached at least $1.2 billion, that is, at least $400 million of Chrysler's net profit had been squandered by Chrysler under various names and excuses, and only $820 million remained...... Optimistic estimates, this year's net profit may exceed $1 billion, 5% of $1 billion is $50 million, and an idea will cost $50 million.

"5% of net profit this year?" Plum. Iacocca immediately frowned, to be honest, he was also frightened by Lin Hongfei's lion mouth, and compared last year's data with this year's growth trend, he shook his head wildly and shouted to Lin Hongfei, "This is impossible!" That's a minimum value of $50 million! $50 million, Lin, are you crazy?! ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Hongfei's watch, and his expression was suddenly stunned, just now he said that Lin Hongfei was not crazy, and at this moment looking at Lin Hongfei's gaze was like looking at a madman.

"Lin, do you know what this thing means?" Plum. Iacocca frantically waved the note written by Lin Hongfei, "It's all things embargoed by Batumi, you let us buy it for you?!" ”

"To be precise, something that is on the edge of the scope of the Batumi embargo," said Lee. Iacoca's excitement, Lin Hongfei was very calm, "Believe me, I have deliberately studied the relevant regulations of the Batumi embargo, these things, you say they are the things of the Batumi embargo, they are, you say no, then no." ”

Is that so?

Plum. Iacocca glanced at Lin Hongfei suspiciously, and looked down again, this time, he had to admit that Lin Hongfei was right, this piece of paper, or to be more precise, this procurement list, is indeed something that is free from the edge of the scope of the Batumi embargo, if there is enough public relations ability, then these things do not belong to the equipment of the Batumi embargo, on the contrary, if someone deliberately looks for trouble...... It doesn't even need to be deliberate, as long as someone comes to trouble, it is not wrong to say that these things are equipment within the scope of the Batumi embargo.

With Chrysler's influence in American politics, as long as they "work hard", of course, they deliberately ship these things to the Republic, and similarly, without Chrysler's cooperation, Lin Hongfei would only be drooling over these things...... This bastard is really calculating!

"I can't decide," he hesitated. Iacocca finally gave up the idea of saying yes or no, "This kind of thing requires the cooperation of the company's directors...... But, Lin, for the sake of insurance, I personally hope that you will be able to tell me your solution. ”

"Don't even think about it!" Lin Hongfei unceremoniously refused, his most valuable thing is the idea, this idea was said, what should I do if Chrysler Motors regrets it when the time comes? For $50 million, they can do anything! "Either agree to my conditions, or everyone will break up, and there is nothing to lose for me anyway."

"You ......"

Plum. Iacocca wanted to say something, but in the end, what he wanted to say turned into a deep sigh, "Tell me, Lin, what do you want these devices for?" Is it procured for your government and army? From a friend's point of view, I'm willing to help you, but you're going to give me a reason. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
