Chapter 821 (2/2)
Henry Ford II looked at the family members and said, ”many of you work within the group and know the actual situation of the company. At present, the operating rate is only 30%, and Ford is in a state of serious loss. ”
”If this continues, Ford will go bankrupt sooner or later. Ford is related to the rise and fall of the whole family. Needless to say, you know what Ford's bankruptcy means. ”
In fact, it is not as serious as Henry Ford II said. At this time, Ford is a listed company; Even if it goes bankrupt, the Ford family won't have to bear too much. After nearly 100 years of inheritance, the Ford family has a lot of details. The family's trust fund, real estate, property and art collection are astronomical.
To put it bluntly, even if Ford goes bankrupt, the Ford family can still live a rich life. This is also the reason why the children of the family have no fear. In their view, even if Ford goes bankrupt, it's no big deal.
But they don't think about what to do in the future. What will the Ford family be like without Ford. It is estimated that in the past few decades, the American people will forget them and become mediocre.
This was a fact that Henry Ford II could not accept, so he decided to cooperate with his previous biggest competitor. Its purpose is to curb the development of heiyun automobile; Everyone knows that Ford alone is no longer the rival of black cloud.
Knowing that the elder brother was angry, Ford II's brother quickly said, ”you are the elder brother in charge of everything at home, including Ford. Big brother, if there is any decision, we will implement it unconditionally. ”
”Ford is facing great pressure now, so I hope the family children don't waste their hard-earned wealth outside. At this time, I don't expect you to help the family through the difficulties. I just hope you don't make trouble for the family. ”
Henry Ford II was very pleased to hear his brother's statement. At the critical moment, his brother could understand his intention.
In fact, as Ford II's brother, sometimes he is very helpless. Having a tough and capable brother is not necessarily a good thing. Although the Ford family is not as bloody and cruel as the palace fight drama, there are many production dramas in the rich family.
If you perform too well, you will be suspected by your brother. But if it is too mediocre, other children of the family will not pay attention to you. This scale is difficult to grasp. Fortunately, Ford II's brother grasped it very well. Know how to safeguard your brother's authority and take into account your personal interests.
It must be an offence to let the young masters and ladies of the family change their way of life. He can't let Ford II come forward. At least this head can't be driven by Ford II.
If we start with him, Ford II will have a lot of success in finishing the work.
Through his brother's statement, Ford II said: ”many people in the family really need to change their consumption habits, or their family business will be ruined sooner or later.”
”Why Ford is in a passive situation is mainly due to the rise of black cloud. Why does heiyun automobile develop so rapidly because of baozixuan's professionalism and attitude. ”
”This young man is about your age, even younger than many of you. But don't you feel ashamed to see what people are doing every day and what you are doing! ”
”The family doesn't give you the opportunity to exercise, but there are a few who can do their job well, at least I haven't seen it yet.”
”Before, the black cloud group was involved in antitrust investigation, and there was little left to squeeze the Ford and General Motors Markets. Now the anti-monopoly investigation of the Ministry of Commerce on heiyun has been completed. What pressure will Ford face after that? Don't say anything more! ”
”I have decided to cooperate with general motors. At this time, I should put aside my prejudices and concentrate on fighting strong enemies.”
Hearing the cooperation with general motors, several old men of the Ford family were whispering. I seem to have different opinions, but I dare not say it.
At this time, Henry Ford II had absolute authority in the Ford family, and no one dared to question his decision. At present, it seems that the best way is to remain silent and pray that Ford can defeat its strong enemies and win the market again.
