Chapter six hundred and forty first
Both parties had lunch in a high-end restaurant. Dedevadai changed his arrogant attitude and began to enthusiastically talk to Lin Johnson about the hot sales of the Dajielong model. He also praised the genius creativity of the designers of Saturn Automobile Company, and made a 180-degree turn to the acquisition.
The reason why he was arrogant at first and respectful at the same time was that he asked about Icoca's attitude again in the morning. Icoca made it clear to him that Chrysler does not have that much cash flow now and it is impossible for him to acquire Amc in the short term.
In order to cope with the financial crisis, Renault urgently needed external funds and asked him to take Lin Johnson's acquisition plan carefully.
After all, Dedevad was a Frenchman and sent by his parent company Renault. Although he felt that it was not nice to sell an American car company to a Chinese, the pressure from the headquarters was not something he could bear. For the sake of his future, he needed to explain to his parent company and just sell the amc!
"Mr. Lin, the model of Dajielong luxury business car will be very marketable in the future. I have read reports and comments on it. I have to say that this car is very high-end and luxurious. You have done the best. How did you think of launching such a model?" Dedevadai praised Lin Johnson for a little bit. The old man also had the qualifications to teach Lin Johnson whether he is capable of leading the huge automobile factory of Amc. He also didn't want his successor to be an idiot who knows nothing.
Yes, that's what the old man thought. Although the Europeans and Americans did not show their contempt for the Chinese in terms of industry, he always believed that it was impossible for a Chinese to achieve much success in the automobile industry. Their contribution to world industry was almost zero!
Kaipei, Claire and Fly also looked at Lin Johnson. They also wanted to know what would be the company if the young man in front of him acquired Amc. The few were also wandering around the idea of whether to quit and find another job. However, with this experience working at Amc, their future job search journey was almost inevitable. Claire and Fly were hesitant to leave.
Lin Johnson wiped his mouth and said to Dedevad and others: "The reason we launched this luxury model is to consider the improvement of the US economy and its role in promoting the consumer market. Now American people are more confident in welcoming a better life!
Unlike Europe's economy, which is still in decline, the US economy has begun to show positive results in three years, and growth momentum has already emerged in four years.
The new economy has huge potential for development. New technologies such as computers, communications, information networks have ushered in an explosive period. At the same time, the financial industry, service industry and tourism industry are growing relatively fast, and these industries have absorbed a large number of employed people. The economic policies of the Reagan administration are also more beneficial to large economies, and large companies will be more likely to obtain funds to expand their scale!
Moreover, the three major auto giants, GM, Ford and Chrysler, have increased their investment in themselves. From this point of view, it can be seen that these peers have also made good predictions about the economic environment of the United States, improving the appearance of the car model, increasing electronic configurations, enriching product lines, and meeting consumer expectations have become an urgent need for automobile manufacturers!”
Speaking of this, Lin Johnson glanced at the four Amc's heads with contempt and said softly: "In my opinion, Amc's life has been in a mess over the years, except for a larger scale, nothing left!
It was a very wise decision for you to choose me, and only I can bring this company back to life!"
The few people looked at each other. Although what Lin Johnson said was a bit ugly, they had no room for refutation.
Lin Johnson continued: "After I take over the amc, I will immediately invest huge amounts of money to replace the production line, replenish fresh blood for the amc, and develop new models. Of course, this factory still has some background. This is what I bought it!"
Kaipei and others immediately heard from Lin Johnson's words that he had the intention to expand investment in AMP. Thinking of Saturn Automobile's Dajielong model is very popular in the market, and market commentators made good predictions about this year's sales situation. As long as Saturn Automobile Company ensures product quality, I believe that the future of Dajielong is bright!
However, there are also reports that Saturn Automobile Company has been troubled by its insufficient production capacity. If it acquires Amc at this time, it will definitely expand the production capacity of Saturn Automobile. At least Amc's ability in OEM is still sufficient for the production of Dajielong, which will solve the problem of insufficient production capacity in an instant. It will be beneficial to Saturn and the investor in front of you.
But they thought in their hearts that the amc may not necessarily decline in the future, and perhaps they will rise again under the leadership of this young rich man!
Dedevadai also thought of this, and he also thought that if Saturn got the amc, it would be very likely that the company would turn over completely from now on, at least not to worry about the risk of bankruptcy in the past few years.
Thinking of this, the French had to find sadly that they had really made no achievements in sitting in the position of Amc Chairman. The best result was to sell it smoothly, and it would be best to sell it to a good price!
So the two sides reached a preliminary intention and communicated on the negotiations. Lin Johnson also learned about the problems in the factory from several people.
They first negotiated the issue of workers' placement. Amc is a huge automobile manufacturer with a large number of workers. Although the company is setting sun, it still has 4 large automobile manufacturers and 6 assembly factories, automobile parts supporting factories and many downstream cooperative equity firms. In addition, the company also involves many industries such as financial investment, vehicle insurance loans, etc. It is a giant enterprise with a total number of employees exceeding 30,000 and more than 100,000 social positions!
Another thing that has to be said is that the American Automobile Company was the parent company of the Hummer military off-road vehicle Amg. In 193, the US military signed the first contract with Amg to supply 55,000 Hummer military off-road vehicles. In the same year, the American Lin Temko Water (ltv) purchased Amg Automobile Company from the American Automobile Company, and Hummer Company was later classified as General Motors.
Hummer was once an amc, so American automobile companies are actually quite capable of off-road models, not as worthless as Lin Johnson said!
Considering that many of the Amc employees are dissatisfied with the company now and they have some actions, Lin Johnson will definitely have to clean up after taking over the company. Fortunately, this place is not Detroit, there is not such a strong automobile union, and the workers' actions are not as good as the weather.
As the party for sale, Dedevadai certainly hopes to sell the amc to a good next-hand house, keeping workers as much as possible and not laying off employees, but he also knows that this is impossible.
"I can only promise that I will do my best to resume production, but you know that because there are too many problems with AMD, workers are the most direct factor, and after the acquisition, I will definitely have to make appropriate layoffs and must drive those vandals out of the company!"
Although Dedevadai was not very satisfied with Lin Johnson's answer, it was basically the case. Even if it was sold to Chrysler, Icoca would only do more ruthlessly.
So he nodded and said, "I hope Mr. Lin keeps his word. These workers are ordinary people. Losing their jobs also means a decrease in family spending, which is also very unfavorable to the company's image and public opinion!"
Lin Johnson also knows that although layoffs are common in the United States, large companies like Amc have a great impact on their image.
After dinner, the four of them accompanied Lin Johnson to visit the Renault OEM factory, which also has a new production line. After Renault acquired the Amc, it replaced several production lines for the company. The French are looking forward to expanding their sales in the United States and expanding the market size of French cars.
But unfortunately, Renault is not good, the French are romantic, Americans don’t understand, French cars are selling badly in the United States, and their car models are at the bottom every year.
This way, it seems unnecessary to maintain the company on the verge of bankruptcy. In the headquarter, this company has become a burden. In order to support these workers, it is necessary to continue to invest in it. Instead, it is better to sell it when you meet a good buyer! (To be continued.)
