reborn in the fiery age

Of course, Sun Zujie also has some issues that are relatively simple to consider, but the senior management can also understand that his attention is only on economic work, and he lacks involvement in other work. He needs to be given the opportunity to exercise and exercise.

What the old people think, Sun Zujie has no time to think about it.After finishing this class, Sun Zujie immediately rushed to the United States to welcome the harvest of oil futures. The more cautious it is at this time.

This time when Sun Zujie came to the United States, he was warmly welcomed by Goodman Company.At this time, Sun Zujie had instructed Huatou's futures traders to start selling their long oil orders.

The war between the two major oil-producing countries has just begun, so Sun Zujie obviously has no way to get the maximum benefit by doing this, which makes Kapman a little difficult to understand.

Sun Zujie said with a smile, "Mr. Kapman, we are away here. Now that I have such a harvest, I am already satisfied. A man must be content."

Kapman immediately understood that Sun Zujie was actually full of vigilance against the US emperor, and would rather suffer a little loss than accept it as soon as it was good.Of course, Goodman Company doesn't have that concern, they can wait a little longer.

Even so, Sun Zujie also gained hundreds of millions of dollars from speculating in oil futures this time, so Mr. Kapman asked with concern, how did Sun Zujie spend the money.

Of course Sun Zujie knew what the bastards on Wall Street were thinking, so he wanted to ask with a smile, "I think this money should first be used to purchase industrial equipment in your country, such as the cooperation with AMC.

Because our industry is backward, I also need to purchase some core technologies, such as automobile engines, transmissions, chassis technologies, etc. "

After listening, Kapman smiled and shook his head, "Dear Sun, I am happy to help you, but you should also know that the US emperor does not trust your country that much. Although I don't mean to offend, you know it."

"I heard that your country is ready to regard our country as an ally, and all I ask for are some civilian technologies. Is it necessary for your country to be so strict in defense?

Moreover, my requirements are not high, and I must be very advanced if I do not pursue technology. What I urgently need to solve now is whether there is a problem.

Frankly speaking, your country's auto companies are very difficult now, and it would be good to have more funds for technological transformation to meet the challenges of Japan's auto companies.

Also, as you probably know, I just bought two second-hand steel mills from Bredia, and as far as I know, their auto industry is also having great difficulties. "

Sun Zujie’s meaning is obvious. If you don’t sell it, I can go to Bredia to buy it. Anyway, the money will be spent. It is the same in the United States and Bredia, but as a middleman, Goodman Company will How much benefit you can get is different.

Kapman has to admit that the guy in front of him, Sun Zujie, is right. The demands of the people of Huaguo are not too much. Even if there is a threat to the future of Huaguo, it will be decades away. Money stays.

And this time Goodman also made a lot of money. Although Huatou will take part of it according to the agreement, it also has a profit of hundreds of millions of dollars, which is enough to make the directors pay more attention to Sun Zujie.

Wall Street always favors winners, so not only Goodman, but also other American investment banks are all planning to contribute part of their funds to form an investment fund with Huatou, which will be managed by Sun Zujie.

The most important thing for him to come this time is to finalize this matter, so it is necessary to sell Sun Zujie's face, and of course Sun Zujie also needs to bleed more.

After bargaining, the two reached an agreement on the investment fund. Sun Zujie was very happy to take Wall Street to make money together. There are too many opportunities for speculation in this era, such as the South American debt crisis, which was the first time the US imperialist interest rate stick was used. The impact is quite far-reaching, and he is still planning to give lessons to senior management.

Of course, as part of the deal, Kapman also agreed to help Sun Zujie mediate. This time the oil crisis is almost the final blow to AMC, so they should let go of their last bit of restraint.

Sure enough, as Sun Zujie expected, with the involvement of Wall Street, this time AMC finally stopped carrying it.They were not willing to sell themselves to Renault, because there was still a glimmer of hope for Huaguo, so they kept clenching their teeth and did not agree to Renault's harsh conditions.

Now that Huaguo has money, Huaguo has to spend tens of millions of dollars to buy so many things. With this money, it is enough for them to support them for a while, and it is worth more than selling the controlling stake to Renault , so AMC finally let go and agreed to transfer dozens of core technologies of parts and components at the level of the 70s and [-]s to Huatou.

However, the two parties have been unable to discuss the production line that Sun Zujie needs, because Sun Zujie’s goal is to at least obtain a reasonable model to meet the needs of party, government, enterprises, and institutions in the 80s and 90s.

He fell in love with the flagship Eagle series that AMC just launched in 79, but AMC has been hesitant. This is their own model, so they sold it to Huaguo?

The other thing is AMC's engine. People who Sun Zujie likes are not willing to give it to him, but people who are willing to give it to him don't like it. For this issue, he has been entangled with AMC for more than a year.

At this time, the energy of Wall Street came into play, and they quickly brought in another difficult household, Chrysler.Persuaded Chrysler to provide Huatou with a production line for automobile engine plus carburetor assembly in Mexico.

Sun Zujie knew that this was the Chrysler 488 engine that was later used in Hongqi. It was a 2.2-liter inline four-cylinder gasoline engine.

As far as the overall technical level is concerned, the Chrysler 488 is not the best engine of this era, but it is still a relatively good engine. The power, torque, and fuel consumption levels are all in the middle of the same displacement engines of this era. Position.And this engine can also be used on the truck body.

In addition, Chrysler also took out its own Dodge 600 production line, with a clear goal of snatching AMC's assembly line business, but Chrysler believes that their production line is more advanced, and the asking price is as high as 2000 million US dollars.

Of course Sun Zujie hopes to win this engine, but Chrysler's style of doing things makes him very unhappy. It is not without reason that these guys missed Huaguo in the 80s.

Sun Zujie went to the Dodge production line to look at it, and said in his heart, you didn’t cheat FAW back then, and now you are going to cheat me, there is no door, so he hehe twice, went back and found AMC, you can figure it out, grab the business coming.

Chapter 182

AMC Chairman Stuff convened an emergency board meeting to discuss what to do. At this time, because of Wall Street's breath, they already knew that Sun Zujie had a lot of money in his hand. If they wanted to survive, they had to get this money, the more the better.

Therefore, the AMC meeting decided to accept Huatou's conditions at the beginning of the meeting. If there is no other way, the AMC Eagle model can be transferred. After all, it is just a model and it is not that important.

At this time, AMC has negotiated dozens of technology transfer agreements with Huatou, but the most critical engine cannot be negotiated. The key reason is that AMC, which has been producing muscle cars for a long time, does not have a four-cylinder engine of its own.

A vice president in charge of production made a suggestion, "Gentlemen, please don't forget that we also have a German four-cylinder engine, which is a design bought from the Germans.

But unfortunately, according to the agreement, we did not purchase a sufficient number of engines, so we have not purchased a complete engine production line, and had to empty the original delivery room and most of the production equipment, wasting too many resources. "

Staff was unhappy, and said very annoyed, "David, I know about this, I don't need you to say it again!"

David asked back, "Then why not sell it to the Chinese?"

"what?"

"If we can convince the people of Huaguo to buy all the remaining engines, then we can ask the Germans to sell us all the remaining equipment according to the agreement, and then we will transfer them to Huaguo. Not only will these assets be revitalized, but also Can make a lot of money."

"Do you think the Chinese people are fools? They need to buy [-] engines at once. How can they do such a risky thing?"

"Why don't you give it a try, the dream of Hua Guosun is an engine of his own.

We can sign a secret agreement with the Huaguo people, and we will tell the Huaguo people all the secrets of this German engine and some improvements we have made.

This can also charge a lot of money. I believe that nine out of ten they will be happy to cooperate with us. The life and death of the Germans has nothing to do with us.

In addition, this 2.0L engine is used in our Concord model. Huaguo people have no choice but to choose our poorly sold model.

Gentlemen, if it weren't for Japanese and German cars, how could we have been squeezed to the brink of bankruptcy, and they should suffer a little bit.

Moreover, given the weak industrial base of the Hua people, even if we tell him the secret of this engine, can their iron and steel enterprises provide qualified engine materials?

It will take a long time for them to fully understand the engine, not to mention that they have purchased so many technologies, which shows that their foundation is poor, so we don't have to worry about the possible threat of the Chinese people, that is too far away. "

After listening to it, Stave pondered for a long time, and he said with some sentimentality, "In this way, we will almost teach the Chinese people to produce a qualified car. I don't know whether it is right or wrong, but for the survival of AMC, I don't No choice."

After Stave finished speaking, the entire AMC board of directors fell silent. They also understood that if they did this, another competitor might emerge in the next 30 to [-] years.Isn't that how Japan's auto industry has risen?

But they also know that if they don't do this, AMC may not last for less than a year at all, so it's too far away to worry about things in 30 or [-] years.

After Sun Zujie got the final quotation from AMC, although he was very happy and finally took the bait after waiting for so long, he still pretended to think for a long time,

"Mr. Stave, you make it difficult for me. It's just who made us friends. We can't take it lightly when our friends are in trouble. Although we are also very difficult, I am willing to accept your new conditions."

Staff thought to himself when did I become friends with you, but Sun Zujie should have agreed to say so, which made him very satisfied.

Just listen to Sun Zujie continue to say, "It's just that AMC should abide by the agreement and provide all the information about this engine, whether it's yours or the Germans.

Even if you have a solution that has not been verified, you need to provide it, otherwise we will not be able to buy [-] engines in advance, the cost is too high, the cost is too high! "

Of course, Stave understands the price Sun Zujie has paid. He even thinks that it may take seven, eight or even ten years for the Chinese people to use up these engines.

But Sun Zujie knew that as long as he produced the car, [-] engines, haha, not to mention that it was impossible for the Germans to give him all of them immediately, even if they gave them all at once, he would not be afraid.
