Chapter 833 (2/2)
”If you want to get military orders, you must clean up the companies in the Cayman Islands. General Ian Wright said very clearly on the phone. This time it was just a test. If GM dares to comply with both the public and the private in the process of testing, there will never be a good life in the future. ”
In fact, as we all know, the Ministry of defense is definitely not so easy to fool. But I still want to have a fluke and try. Now it seems that the idea is too idealistic.
Mike Donald continued: ”in the so-called DOD bidding, GM will certainly be able to get orders. It's just a matter of how many, you can rest assured. And it can definitely occupy the majority. It depends on how GM chooses at the moment. ”
”If GM still wants to do business with the Ministry of defense in the future, it will receive military orders. Then you can't have any involvement with the Cayman Islands. Even if you get away with it this time, you will be disqualified next time. ”
”If the directors disagree, there is another way for us to maximize our interests; Sell Hummers. Taking advantage of the change of military vehicles by the Ministry of defense, Hummer definitely has many enterprises willing to take over, and will be able to sell at a good price. ”
”American auto companies are having a hard time; If you don't want to go bankrupt, you have to change. Either concentrate on getting military orders or sell Hummers. ”
Hearing that Mike Donald has the idea of selling Hummer brand, the directors present know that this is true. Although some people have different opinions, they should also serve the overall situation, so no one dares to say more.
GM's internal decisions are consistent, but it also leaves some hidden dangers. Several directors began to be dissatisfied with Mike Donald, which foreshadowed his CEO's dismissal.
At this time, other U.S. auto companies fell into a more difficult choice. Ford itself did not have a tax avoidance Island registration company. GM also dared to make a decision because it had guaranteed the minimum order from the Ministry of defense.
But for many enterprises, they can't survive without registering companies on tax avoidance islands. If you cancel the company, it's easy to say that you can't get the order from the Ministry of defense. The big deal is to apply for registration again.
There's no problem getting orders with large amounts. At least you don't have to worry about the survival of the enterprise in a short time.
I'm afraid the amount of orders is very small, and the military orders can't be delayed. Tax avoidance islands dare not register companies again, and enterprises must go bankrupt.
The famous mark truck had this problem, and several roads were in front of them..
Mark truck Co., Ltd., founded in 1900, is a powerful heavy truck manufacturer in North America.
During World War I, more than 5000 mark AC trucks were in service in British and American forces. When other trucks got bogged down, British and American soldiers always transferred mark AC to pull them out. Due to the super power and flat nose hood of this truck, it is easy to think of Bulldogs. British soldiers call them ”Bulldogs”.
Mark truck has cooperated with the U.S. military since World War I, and it is inevitable for the Department of defense to replace military trucks. At this time, mark truck is facing the same problem as other enterprises and wants to cut off all relations with the tax avoidance island.
French Renault Truck Company has extensive cooperation with mark company; It is normal for two companies from different countries to jointly Register Companies in tax avoidance islands. Mark's directors worried that Renault would disagree, but Mark's CEO said. Let the directors know that it doesn't matter to lose Renault's partner even if they get the military order.
At present, everything should make way for military purchase orders. As for others, we should wait until later.
This is a reshuffle, the reshuffle of the U.S. local auto industry. At present, it has achieved certain results. At least many car enterprises have begun to cancel the affiliated companies of tax avoidance islands. This is the actual result.
But President Reagan and others know that these are images at present. The automobile industry is a traditional industry, which was established very early and has a relatively long history. Most of the companies registered in tax avoidance islands are subsidiaries, just for tax avoidance.
Other industries are not so easy to handle. Many large enterprises and parent companies are registered in tax avoidance islands. It will be very difficult to run these enterprises.
