Chapter 1380 The conspiracy is revealed (second update, please subscribe)
Occupy the American automobile market!
This sentence sounds simply arrogant and arrogant.
At least for now, that's it.
What is the current car production in the United States?
Although the automobile production in the United States has not yet exceeded 10 million vehicles, it is getting close. Since Ford, the automobile industry has always been the pride of the Americans.
After the war, entrepreneurs from all over the world went to the three major automobile factories in the United States to learn from them, and Detroit became a place of industrial pilgrimage. During the construction of their factories, BMW, Wuling and Volkswagen all introduced a large amount of equipment and technology from the United States, especially the first two, where most of the equipment came from the United States.
At that time, it was easiest to simply copy the Ford factory, but based on the strength of BMW at the time, it was simply a fantasy. First of all, Ford has a vast stamping production line. Because the molds are heavy and heavy, it takes a day to change the molds. Ford uses one stamping production line to produce only one type of sheet metal parts.
At that time, BMW lacked funds and foreign exchange and could not afford to buy many expensive stamping equipment. Secondly, the market was limited. Even if it could afford those expensive equipment, one day's output would be enough for BMW to sell for a year. , this year's product is not a car model: officials need luxury cars, factories need trucks, cities need small cars, what's the point?
So BMW's managers and technicians discussed and studied together and agreed that Ford's mass production model was not suitable for them and that they had to develop a new way of manufacturing things, so they began to carry out a series of projects at Wuling Explore practical actions.
Thus, BMW's just-in-time and automated production, the "lean production model", was born.
Everything has its origin.
Although the "lean production model" has made the automobile industry here, and is highly praised by consumers around the world for its stable and excellent quality. But no matter what, one thing cannot be denied - the automobile technology introduced from the United States has contributed to all this.
From automotive technology, to manufacturing processes, to mechanical equipment, they all originate from the United States to a large extent. But now, someone has come forward and said-we want to occupy the American market.
Output is 3 million versus 10 million, with the US leading!
In terms of technical level, the United States is leading.
Even in terms of funds, none of the three giants are wealthy. For example, Ford can spend tens of millions of dollars to smash people and cars for a single achievement.
Faced with such giants, some people say they want to defeat them!
It is certain to defeat the three American auto giants, but occupying the US market or even acquiring the three auto giants... this is a bit difficult.
Is he kidding?
Obviously, Zuo Xiaohan is not a person who likes to joke, he has his own opinions.
"Your Excellency, we have our advantages, our production costs are lower, our technical workers are better qualified, and our products are of better quality. It is absolutely possible for our products to beat American cars in the market. "
Looking at Your Excellency, Zuo Xiaohan's tone became serious and eager:
"Of course, I know that this is a long process, but I believe we can do it, Therefore, we need to be prepared. If there are three giants in the United States, then we will use our three giants to defeat them!”
If it were anyone else, they would probably say - you are wishful thinking!
But Li Yian is very clear about what will happen in the next few decades. The American automobile industry, which now seems to be a model for the world to learn from, has too many crises hidden behind its seeming glory. When the new century comes, the United States will The three major auto giants went to Washington to apply for bailout.
What happened?
There are different opinions.
One thing that is certain is that it was Japanese cars that knocked the American automobile industry out of the water in the beginning. Then, before they could launch a counterattack, the rise of new energy vehicles killed him completely.
This is reality.
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. It's good to have this idea, but you must also realize your own shortcomings. The three giants are still in the leading position in technology. Let's take it step by step!"
For ambitions Li Yian would never object to this kind of thing. After all, ambition is necessary for growth.
A soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a soldier who doesn’t want to overthrow the Big Three is not a good car company.
Replacement is inevitable for growth.
After thinking about it, Li Yian added:
"Integration is integration, but remember it must be a commercial method. Also, big companies have their own corporate diseases. We should also pay attention to this, especially us..."
When mentioning us, Li Yian also I can't help but feel a little dumbfounded. There are so many companies in the company, how many have I been to?
What are the corporate diseases of large companies?
To put it bluntly, it means breaking away from the grassroots level. Take General Motors as an example. Corporate executives are so high up that they have exclusive access to the fourteenth-floor office area, exclusive cafeteria, dedicated elevators and dedicated business jets. They close themselves in this ivory tower-like tranquility and spend all day in front of the computer. Direct operations by looking at surface data.
Later after bankruptcy, Ed Whitakery succeeded Rick Wagner as CEO. He often went to workshops, factories, design centers, engineering centers, and laboratories to walk around alone. Everyone was so surprised that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear when they saw it. You can imagine how far the management was separated from the front line in the past!
Does this kind of thing only exist in General Motors?
Obviously not, it is the same in any large enterprise, but the severity is different. The executives of any company have their own exclusive restaurants and elevators, but the names are different, either high-rise restaurants or small canteens.
That’s all.
What about here?
The same is true...
Thinking of this, Li Yian couldn't help but feel ashamed.
“It’s time to go to the grassroots more. I can’t be like those people and completely disconnect from the front line!”
After all, this is my family business!
Just after Zuo Xiaohan left the official residence with his auto industry integration report, Li Yian immediately started preparing to inspect the grassroots.
But before he left, Jia Wentao, the executive director of the Investigation Department, came to his office and submitted a report.
After reading the report, perhaps because the content of the intelligence was so shocking, Li Yian did not speak. Instead, he silently took out a cigar and slowly cut off one end with cigar cutters. Light the other end with a match, then gently hold the cigar, move it to your mouth, take a puff, and exhale the smoke. Through the cigar smoke, his eyes were dim and unclear. At this time, Li Yian was not even pacing around the office thinking about the problem as before, but just smoking a cigar silently.
Occasionally, he would cast his eyes on the table and the report.
The report only has a few pages, but it is surprisingly large!
He took several puffs of cigarette, put the remaining cigar on the table, then pointed at the report file and asked:
"Well, is this information reliable?"
"My job is to verify this news repeatedly. This matter is unusual, so I must verify its reliability in many ways."
"Yes. Who provided you with this information? Is it reliable? "
The reason why I ask this is because... this matter seems to be similar to what many people have speculated.
“It’s completely reliable, but Sir, we all know that this game is always full of false news. We don’t know whether this is false news deliberately released. My job is to Finding the truth among the fake news ”
"You can get gold by peeling sand. This is the essence of intelligence work."
Li Yian once again pulled the report in front of him and browsed it again.
When he looked at the contents of the report, he almost read it word for word, as if he wanted to find some clues from these words, or in other words, find something for him to question, to Something to doubt.
But unfortunately, the information revealed in this intelligence is true. At least this will happen in the near future.
Looking at Your Excellency, Jia Wentao said: "Your Excellency, what position should we take in this incident? Basically, it can be determined that they are brewing a big conspiracy involving the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency. Bureau and other departments.”
After a slight pause, Jia Wentao added.
“Although we don’t know what this conspiracy is now, what is certain is that it will have an extremely profound impact on Washington.”
More than just influence, It simply subverts everything.
Li Yian thought so in his heart.
“We…”
Li Yian did not speak immediately, but took out the cigar from the ashtray and continued to smoke, as if he was thinking about something.
After thinking about it for a while, he said.
"For this kind of thing, our best choice is to stay away. We must keep a far enough distance to avoid getting burned."
After thinking about it, he added:
"Withdraw our investigators away from these people. This matter must not have any connection with us."
It is better not to get involved in some things. For Li Yian, he knows very well in which direction this matter will develop!
Once you have something to do with yourself, you won’t be able to explain it clearly!
After Jia Wentao left the office, Li Yian, who was sitting on the leather swivel chair, picked up the report again and continued to read it word by word.
"Since the beginning of the year, the Pentagon's military intelligence chief and senior CIA officials have held secret meetings in Washington many times...FBI Director Hoover may also be involved..."
< br>The content of this intelligence is extremely large. Although some of the information is analysis and comprehensive research and judgment after collection, the amount of information in it is unimaginable, and even makes people feel a little unreal.
After all, this is pretty amazing.
But on the other hand, Li Yian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and even felt a sense of enlightenment.
It was like a mystery that had troubled him for many years had finally been answered.
Sometimes, the world is so magical. The conspiracy that has lasted for many years has been certified in some way at this moment. On the other hand, it seems that it has also allowed him to peel off the silkworms and smell a little bit. Unusual taste.
It's not just abnormal, it's just a bit weird.
The original conspiracy theories about this incident never stopped for more than half a century. Various analyzes have never stopped. Not only do countless people think this is a conspiracy, but so do many experts.
But for many people, it is just a "conspiracy theory". The so-called "conspiracy" is just the speculation of some people, but what about now? Faced with this piece of evidence,
even if it is only indirect evidence. But it gave Li Yian a feeling of enlightenment, as if the conspiracy had been exposed to a certain extent.
But at the same time as he suddenly became enlightened, another thought emerged in his mind - this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
“This matter is not simple!”
Li Yi'an said to himself:
"What kind of conspiracy is behind this matter? In other words, who is manipulating all this behind the scenes?"
