Chapter 820 (2/2)
Things got worse and worse. Finally, even then US President Reagan had to come out for an interview. Business departments are required to conduct impartial and objective investigations. We can't be impulsive, let alone hurt entrepreneurs who work hard.
It can be said that this is equivalent to a statement of position. In the end, the business department can only hastily end the antitrust investigation of heiyun group. Steamed stuffed bun Xuan didn't do anything, mainly because he didn't dare to force the government departments to death. This is the past. I just hope the U.S. business department can remember this lesson. But the business department lost so much face, how could it give up easily. Who makes them unhappy, they won't make people comfortable, just waiting for the time.
In fact, the counterattack against the US Department of Commerce has long been brewing; Just never had the right opportunity. Bao Shoufu did not expect that the reports of the Japanese media could have such a great effect. It seems that there is some truth in calling reporters the uncrowned king.
Like the U.S. Department of Commerce, American companies competing with black cloud are also quite unhappy. Especially American auto giants such as GM and Ford; The rise of black cloud cars has the greatest impact on them.
Before, we could compete with Japanese and European car companies. However, since baozixuan entered the automotive field, the business of the two companies has plummeted.
Black cloud car is really suitable for the U.S. local market, just as it is tailored for Americans.
Before, I wanted to rely on the anti-monopoly investigation of the Ministry of Commerce on heiyun group to occupy the market again, but I finally found that everything depends on myself.
General Motors is definitely the most depressed enterprise. When they hold Suzuki group shares, the enterprise has been tepid, and the stock price has never fluctuated too much. Since the public knew that heiyun automobile had become a shareholder, the share price rose by more than 30% in just a few days. This is not to tell the world that GM's influence is not good, at least far from the black cloud.
General Motors was founded on September 16, 1908. Since William Durant founded General Motors of the United States, General Motors has produced and sold a series of brand models including Buick, Chevrolet, Cadillac and GMC around the world and provided services. Its full range of models of several brands sell well in more than 120 countries and regions around the world, including micro cars, heavy full-size trucks, compact cars and convertibles.
This is one of the largest automobile enterprises in the United States and even in the world. No one dares to ignore his existence.
At this time, GM is holding a board meeting. CEO Mike Donald said to the directors: ”ladies and gentlemen, this is the most difficult time in GM's history. I have to take the main responsibility here. If everyone feels that I am not qualified for the CEO position, I can resign. ”
It's a good way to make progress by retreating, even perfect. Now this situation is not Mike Donald's fault alone. It may be the same for everyone. And the old boy still has some abilities. Let him make do for a while.
This is the real idea of most directors. Maybe a new person is not as good as him!
Seeing that no one stood up to dismiss him, Mike Donald knew he was right.
Mike Donald continued: ”since the directors can continue to trust me, I must try my best to turn the situation around.”
”At present, general motors is facing a huge crisis, and the external market is pressed by Japanese and European auto enterprises step by step. The U.S. domestic market is also squeezed by black cloud cars, and there is little space. ”
”If it continues, GM may face the risk of bankruptcy. Just now, the U.S. Department of Commerce has concluded its antitrust investigation into the black cloud group; It means that we have to solve all the problems ourselves. ”
”Ford had contacted me before the meeting. I hope our two enterprises can cooperate and jointly face the pressure brought by black cloud car. ”
In fact, it is a bit exaggerated to say that GM is bankrupt. After all, GM not only produces civilian vehicles, but also purchases military and police vehicles every year.
Without the civilian market, the days may not be so moist.
The directors were surprised that Ford would take the initiative to unite with GM. It seems that they are also forced to hurry. Otherwise, with the competitive relationship between the two enterprises, it is impossible to have any intersection.
What Bao Shoufu doesn't know is that some of his actions in Japan; Indirectly contributed to the first cooperation between the two largest automobile companies in the United States.
