Chapter 823 (1/2)

Henry Ford II was used to a good life when he was a child, and he didn't know the sadness of the poor at all. This makes Mike Donald, who was born in the middle class, don't know what to say. It seems that he can only do this bad man.

Mike Donald smiled and said, ”we can go in two steps. The first step is like I just said. The two enterprises jointly produce a new car, which is absolutely cost-effective. ”

”The second step is to lobby the US military to increase purchase orders. The Soviets are a serious threat. Without strong logistical support, it is difficult for the US military to win in the confrontation. ”

Both military and civilian don't want to let go. It seems that this boy has great ambition.

Henry Ford II smiled and said, ”it's very simple to jointly develop a new car. It's also the case when our two families work together. But how can high cost performance be possible? You know, the salary standard of American workers is the highest in the world. Moreover, the work efficiency is lower than that of Japanese workers, which is one of the reasons why Japanese auto manufacturers can't compete at present. ”

Henry Ford II didn't mention the black cloud. It seems that he doesn't want to recognize the efficiency and model advantages of the black cloud car.

Seeing Ford II's doubts, Mike Donald smiled and said, ”we paid so much tax to the government before, and now it's time for the government to subsidize us.”

Hearing this, Henry Ford II immediately understood what it meant, hoping that the government would give subsidies in terms of taxation. If the government can tax-free new cars, the price of cars can be reduced by at least 20%.

Is this the so-called cost advantage? The risk is too great. Once exposed; Both companies are subject to public criticism. Even if the public does not know, the tax authorities will have great opinions on them.

Henry Ford II: ”it's too risky, and GM can do it by itself. I don't understand why I brought Ford. I hope your excellency can give me an explanation. ”

Mike Donald: ”after all, this is a challenge to the U.S. tax authorities. You know, they are not easy to mess with. GM alone is hard to persuade the White House. But Ford is different. Our two families have more than 400000 direct votes, and each worker has a family. This is millions of votes. Even your Excellency the president can't ignore the actual interests of workers in the auto industry. ”

At present, Detroit has not entered a depression. It is the most important industrial town in the United States. Not only because of economic problems, no one dares to despise the demographic dividend.

This is to pull himself into the partnership. Ford II was a little unhappy. Ford II, who thinks he has aristocratic blood in the automobile industry, disdains to take advantage of the country in terms of taxes.

May be able to play a certain effect, or even defeat competitors. But it will also become a stain, always with the Ford brand, and the Ford family will be ashamed.

General Motors has no such concerns. We should know that general motors is a professional manager system. Even if there are problems, the most is the resignation of professional managers. People who are dismissed can also get huge compensation. I believe many people are still willing to accept it; At least there will be no economic loss.

At present, we need to think carefully about whether Ford should take risks.

Ford II: ”GM's proposal is very good. You can try it. Ford will fully cooperate, but Ford has little experience in this field, and President Mike needs to share more. Ford can give financial support to ensure that you will not suffer losses. ”

Hearing what the old guy said, I immediately understood what he meant. This is love and cherish feathers. We should not only be a bitch, but also set up a chastity archway.

Mike Donald also knew that Ford had to be involved in this matter to succeed. GM alone is certainly not enough to lobby the White House.

Since Ford cherishes feathers so much, this cooperation can make them bleed more. Don't want to work, but also want to get benefits. There are no two cheap good things in the world.

Mike Donald: ”I understand what Mr. Ford means. As long as Ford can support this proposal. GM will lobby for the rest, but I hope Ford can bear part of the cost. After all, this is the business of the two companies. ”
