These days he was serving in front of the saddle, and he also played a great role in the formation of the Cummins-Lin Reading Plane Company, but he was unable to find a place in the new company, which was a loss for the proud Davis.
Fortunately, he comforted himself that the big boss was still in Detroit, still busy with the car company, and he didn't seem to have the slightest intention of giving up on himself. And looking at the appearance of the big boss, it seems that there is some big plan brewing, which should give him a chance to show his strength.
Thinking of this, Davis felt a little more steady. This is the second time Davis has walked into Situ Nan's office, the same place, the same time, the same person, but the mood is different.
Davis still remembers the last time he came to meet Situ Nan, with a little trepidation before the interview. But when Davis confidently stepped in two weeks later, the outcome was very different.
These days, Davis also has a vague understanding of Situ Nan's strength, and he knows that the boss, who is a few years younger than himself, not only has a huge industry in California, but also has close ties to Wall Street, often receiving calls from Wall Street, and also keeping an eye on Chicago futures trading.
"Boss, these are the reports of the major local car companies in Detroit, and I've got them ready." Davis placed a thick copy of the paper on Situ Nan's desk.
To finish the report, Davis hasn't had a break for days. If it weren't for his familiarity with Detroit's auto industry and the availability of a group of auto talent, it would have been difficult to draw conclusions in a short period of time. Fortunately, Situ Nan just needs a general situation, and there is no need to tamp the specific number, otherwise the workload will be large.
Even so, Davis tried his best to detail the important numbers jù, and looking at some of the main numbers listed above, Situ Nan was very satisfied. "Good work. Well done! Davis. Situ Nan looked at Davis's somewhat haggard face and said.
"That's what I'm supposed to do." Davis said that from the report, he was more certain of Mr. Situan's ambitions in the automotive industry.
"Wen Jiàn put it here for me first, and I'll take a closer look at it later. Now what are the car companies that are worth investing in? Situ Nan asked.
"Hmm. Let me think. Davis said that he had concocted the report by himself, so he knew the contents of it, but he muttered for a moment and said, "I think there are two that are very worthy of our acquisition, one is the Faith Body Company and the other is the Maxwell Motor Company." ”
"Oh?" Situ Nan became interested, and while flipping through the text, he looked at the two companies mentioned by Davis.
"Faith Body is the largest car body company in the region, and it produces steel bodies of good quality and is sourced from major car manufacturers. And when I was at General Motors, I heard that General Motors was preparing to take the Faith Body Company under its umbrella.
I think we have to get the Faith Body Company before they do, and even if we can't completely merge the Faith Body Company, we have to get some of the shares, otherwise when General Motors swallows up the Faith Body Company, we won't be able to supply car bodies to other car manufacturers. ”
Davis said calmly that it wasn't that he was giving eye medicine to GM in front of Situ Nan. It's that he knows too well what GM has always done. All of the factories they have merged with will no longer supply parts to other companies, and will only circulate among each other in their internal systems. Anyway, General Motors has a big business, and the orders for their internal systems are enough to keep Fess Body busy.
"This building is very good." Situ Nan nodded, it can be seen that this Davis has done his homework today. "And what about the Maxwell Motor Company?" Situ Nan asked.
"Contrary to Faith Bodywork, Maxwell Motor Company is in a bad situation at the moment, with heavy quality problems with their cars and a weak rear axle that often causes gear failures on the road.
Now all customers don't buy their cars, and in the last three months, Maxwell has sold a total of five cars, which is the result of a big price sale. ”
Davis stretched out a slap and five fingers, emphatically, how can it smell of a bit of schadenfreude.
"The founder of Maxwell Motors was Nathan Janson Maxwell. He was originally a mechanic in Indiana, USA, and in 1893 he built his first car. He later came to Detroit and co-founded a number of automotive companies with other investors.
Later, on the basis of those automobile companies he founded, the current Maxwell Automobile Company was formed. At that time, when General Motors had not yet been formed, and Henry Ford was still working for others, the Maxwell Motor Company had been popular for a while in the first few years, but it has gradually gone down the road in recent years.
Now there is a quality crisis in Yanzhòng, and the president of their company, W.L. Michelle, is already overwhelmed, and it is difficult to play it with all his might.
There is a good opportunity in front of us, Maxwell is old and weak, and the shareholders of the company are completely disappointed in W.L. Michelle, and they are looking for a new owner for Maxwell & Company. ”
Davis spoke eloquently, and he looked at Situ Nan eagerly. Clearly, he encouraged Stuart to buy the Maxwell Motor Company.
"I think I get what you mean, Davis, is it good for us to buy Max Will?" Situ Nan asked.
"Boss. This is good news for us, although we also have several auto parts factories, but they all supply parts to others, and we have not had our own brand. With the acquisition of Maxwell through Guò, we will be able to integrate our automotive industry chain and then withdraw from our own brand. After all, now that Maxwell is rotten, it is better to tear it down and rebuild it.
There's also a lot to invest in for Maxwell Automobile, such as the fact that the company has a large pool of skilled workers and that their new factory on the Detroit River mimics Ford's assembly line. ”
"Alright! Davis, you convinced me. Leave the matter to Faith and Maxwell Motors. I'll give you a mandate, you can call the shots for anything under $5 million. ”
Situ Nan said. He put down the investigative report in his hand and looked at Davis encouragingly.
"Yes, boss, I won't let you down." Davis said excitedly. He didn't expect Situ Nan to leave such a big matter to himself without thinking much about it, which made Davis feel like a confidant was dead.
After so many days of hard work, it finally paid off, and although Situ Nan did not promise him any position in the new car company, Davis believed that his boss would always see what he put in. He was confident that he would get the work done beautifully by the Firth and Maxwell companies.
"Huh." Seeing that when Davis left, his bones were lighter, Situ Nan smiled in his heart, thinking about his previous life, isn't he like this? Isn't a thumbs up from a boss and an encouragement magnified many times in your heart? This is the surprise that comes with the difference in status.
From Davis, Situ Nan seemed to see himself who was full of energy in his previous life and wanted to make some achievements for the boss to see, so he was very optimistic about Davis. Although Davis is still a little young, Situ Nan believes that the gold is always shining.
In fact, if Situ Nan didn't have other more important things to do, he wouldn't have left everything to Davis alone at once.
Robles called from New York to tell Stuart that there had been a breakthrough in the negotiations with Bethlehem Steel, but Schwab insisted that he would have to meet Stuart to finalize the deal. In desperation, Situ Nan had to leave Detroit temporarily for a while.
But before leaving Detroit, Situ Nan still had to meet that person, and in Situ Nan's mind, he was the best helmsman for the upcoming car company.
