The problems encountered at the Kufma Motors factory were also present at the Vanderbilt family's factory.

It is easy to build a car factory, relatively speaking, a car factory is just an assembly factory, if the engine, gearbox or something are not produced in-house, it is similar to an assembly factory.

The engines of BMW and Phantom are produced by the Junma Automobile Factory, so although there are more than 1,000 workers at the Junma Automobile Factory, these workers are diverted from the parts workshop, and there are not many people who assemble the cars.

Knowing the plight of the Junma Automobile Factory, Li Mu immediately began to look for a solution.

In fact, the problem is very simple to solve, it is enough to build a spare parts factory, but Li Mu does not plan to do this, for those parts with low added value, such as seats, glass, roof accessories, etc., Li Mu is ready to solve it through bidding.

The way to bid for bidding is very simple, there are big guys in the beach club waving checks looking for investment channels, if Li Mu releases the news, Junma Automobile Factory needs to find a cooperative manufacturer, presumably many people will be interested in this.

In fact, Li Mu underestimated the interest of the big guys in cooperating with the Junma Group, everyone knew that the Junma Automobile Factory was a "hen" that could only lay golden eggs, so on the night of Li Mu's return to New York, someone immediately came to the door.

The man who came to the door was Carnegie.

Carnegie had a big appetite for everything that had to do with steel.

"Carnegie Riem Steel Company has half of your shares, and I, the chairman, don't have as many shares as yours, and you are not the first to think of your own company with such a good thing, what do you want to do? If I didn't happen to know about it, wouldn't you be going to tender for these steel-related parts? Carnegie was furious and complained about it.

After several expansions and financing, Li Mu now owns 40% of the shares of Carnegie-Rim Steel, and among all the shareholders of Carnegie-Rim Steel, Li Mu's holding ratio is the highest, and it can be said that Carnegie-Rim Steel is already Li Mu's industry.

"No, I was going to give it to Carnegie-Riem Steel, and even if you didn't come to me today, I would send you a telegram." Li Mu resolutely refuses to admit this, and it is already very aggrieved for Carnegie, the future "steel king", to let Carnegie work for himself.

It must be affirmed that there are good things, Li Mu must be the first to think of his own people, so all the time for a long time, all the steel needed by the Junma Automobile Factory and the Junma Weapons Factory was ordered from Carnegie-Riem Steel, and Carnegie was also very cooperative, and the weapons steel provided for the Junma Weapons Factory had even been processed into rough steel blanks, and the Junma Weapons Factory only needed to carry out a finishing process, and it could be directly used as parts.

The same is true for automobile factories, such as the iron sheets and steel plates needed for automobiles, and Carnegie-Rim Steel is also directly processed into semi-finished products, which are sent to automobile factories and then finished, which greatly reduces the workload of automobile factories, and if it were not for Carnegie's cooperation, cars would never have been put into production so quickly.

"Alright then, I believe you, we are now hurry up and sign a contract to hand over all the steel-related parts needed for the car to Carnegie Riem Steel, which is in your best interest, like giving the money in your left hand to your right hand, or in your own room, you see, you can maximize the profits, and both the Stallion Motor Plant and the Carnegie Riem Steel Company will benefit from it." Carnegie struck while the iron was hot and asked Li Mu to make a decision immediately.

Not to mention, Carnegie's description is really appropriate, Carnegie-Riem Steel Company and the Junma Automobile Factory are Li Mu's property, and the accounts between them are carried out through the Bank of America, which is really left and right.

"Okay, okay, I agree, except for the engine and gearbox, all the parts related to steel are given to you." Li Mu surrendered, and Carnegie really deserved this contract.

The key components of the car are certainly not only the engine and gearbox, but also the body, chassis, transmission structure, etc. are made of steel, Li Mu originally did not plan to give these to other factories for production, but if it is Carnegie-Riem Steel, then this result is acceptable.

"Except for the engine and gearbox, well, that's it—" Carnegie muttered, agreeing to Li Mu's terms.

The engine and gearbox are the key technologies, Li Mu will never give these two things to anyone, even Carnegie Riem Steel Company, only Li Mu's wholly-owned enterprise, Li Mu will not believe in it.

For Carnegie-Riem Steel, the establishment of an auto parts factory is a big project, after all, steelmaking and steel into parts are two different things, in order to undertake the contract for the Junma car factory, Carnegie and Li Mu had to set up a new company.

After some bargaining, Li Mu will transfer the machinery and related technical personnel in the existing parts production workshop of the Junma Automobile Factory to the newly established Carnegie-Rim Auto Parts Factory, and these machines and personnel will be Li Mu's investment, for which Li Mu will occupy 49 percent of the new company's shares.

Carnegie will invest $1 million in a month, taking 51 percent of the plant's shares, and in about two months, the new plant will be operational, which will provide 1,000 sets of parts to the Junma plant every month.

Don't underestimate this thousand sets, if it becomes a reality, then the production capacity of the Junma Automobile Factory will reach ten times the current one, which is undoubtedly a leap for the Junma Automobile Factory, and the parts factory can continue to expand, and the output will be further increased, and finally help the Junma Automobile Factory to seize the entire American market, and then all the automobile markets in the world.

It sounds like a big game, but to do business must have this courage, enterprise development is like sailing against the current, there is not enough pioneering power will stop in place, lying on the credit book to sleep a big sleep sooner or later will be eliminated by the society.

In the next few days, Li Mu has been dealing with different businessmen, dealing in glass, leather, cotton, and even plantations, Li Mu has found more than 10 partners for the Junma Automobile Factory, in order to provide enough parts for the Junma Automobile Factory, there are nine parts factories will start construction within a week, and can be put into production after three months at the latest, Junma Group occupies different degrees of shares in these factories, the highest proportion is 49 percent, and the lowest is 30 percent.

It's not that Li Mu doesn't want to hold, Li Mu really doesn't have much energy to disperse to these parts factories, Junma Group has been recruiting suitable managers for the past two years, but because the speed of expansion is too fast, the supply of talents has always been in short supply, managers like Lawrence Lucas, who have been appointed as the manager of the New York branch of the Bank of America during the internship period, this is not Li Mu eclectic, it is really no other good way.

After signing a lot of contracts, Li Mu was surprised to find that the original output problem had not been solved.

Indeed, in two months, the output of the Junma Automobile Factory will increase by leaps and bounds, but that is two months later, and it is still far from quenching the thirst of the Junma Automobile Factory to solve the problems it is encountering now.

In desperation, Li Mu could only resist the criticism of dealers in various places, compress the supply of cars in each place, first squeeze out enough BMW cars to send to Washington, and solve some of the urgent needs first.

As for the order for the seven Phantoms, Li Mu offered the bigwigs in Washington two choices, if they didn't mind accepting a Phantom that had already been used, then the Horse Automobile Factory could now provide them with seven Phantoms; And if they are willing to wait two months, then the ZAMA will provide them with a better Phantom, and again, the ZAMA will be able to provide them with a brand new BMW to use without the bigwigs having to pay anything for it.

The second condition was accepted by all.

The Phantom is an upgraded product prepared by Li Mu for the Junma Automobile Factory, which was originally intended to deal with the competition of the Vanderbilt family, and now it is not unacceptable to take it out in advance, anyway, there are many classic models in Li Mu's memory, and taking out one at will is enough to kill all the car designers in this era.

Well, in fact, there is no concept of car design at all now, and now it is in the stage of solving whether it is used or not, at least in ten years.

Solve the problem of production capacity, Li Mu also has to dig deep into the existing potential of the Junma Automobile Factory, in fact, after signing these supply contracts, the Junma Automobile Factory has become an assembly plant, in addition to the phantom production workshop, other workshops have not much potential to dig, Li Mu now has to pay attention to the production of the Phantom workshop, in Li Mu's plan, this is the real core competitiveness of the Junma Automobile Factory.

The reason why the Phantom is expensive is because most of the car interiors of the Phantom are handmade, and the Phantom also accepts customization, after the customer places an order, the Junma Automobile Factory will send a specialist to find the order customer, determine a series of information of the customer, and then build the most suitable car for the customer according to the actual situation of the customer, which is the real reason why the Phantom is sought after by the rich.

For example, the license plate used by Li Mu's phantom is one of the action items of the Junma Automobile Factory.

The license plate is just the simplest custom project, Junma Automobile Factory has now in-depth customization to all aspects, the customer's name, the family emblem, the logo of the enterprise, etc., are one of the customized elements, these intimate services, together cast the Phantom "service first" excellent reputation.
