Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 1851 Ford is clearly a bully
Liu Desheng sighed again, and a thought suddenly popped up in his mind, and he blurted out and asked, "Miss, do you know the relationship between Mr. Niu and the Charles Consortium?"

The flight attendant thought for a while, and then replied: "I heard that Mr. Niu is the general counsel of the Charles Consortium. I don't know if he has any other connections."

Liu Desheng snorted, and seeing that he had already reached the chartered plane, he didn't ask any more questions.

The flight attendant took him directly to board the plane, and said as he walked: "Mr. Liu, we are about to take off for today. Your check-in procedures will be re-applied after today. Don't worry, we will take care of everything and we will not give you any trouble." You are causing trouble."

Liu Desheng nodded and said thank you, thinking to himself: It is good to have money, and there are people to help you solve everything, unlike me, who is alone now, and someone who is not familiar with the place, can't do anything.

The flight attendant led the way, and the two quickly entered the first-class cabin.

Several of Niu Xiaoqiang's business partners were sitting in the first class. They were chatting with Niu Xiaoqiang. Seeing Liu Desheng being brought in, they withdrew out tactfully.

Liu Desheng looked rather embarrassed after seeing Niu Xiaoqiang, standing there not knowing how to deal with himself.

Niu Xiaoqiang chuckled, and pointed to the sofa opposite him: "Director Liu—oh, I should call you Director Liu now. Director Liu, please sit down and talk."

Liu Desheng hurriedly said a few words of modesty, and sat down in a well-behaved manner.

Two beautiful flight attendants brought two cups of tea to them respectively, and one of them put down the tea and asked in Chinese: "Mr. Niu, what else do you need?"

Niu Xiaoqiang looked at his watch and ordered: "It's almost time for lunch, please help us serve two steaks, the steaks must be well-done."

The flight attendant nodded immediately, turned around and backed out.

Liu Desheng saw that Niu Xiaoqiang was so handsome, he couldn't help but said: "Secretary Niu is really good, and he can do so well in the United States."

Niu Xiaoqiang said with a smile: "Americans value practical ability very much. They don't bother to look at you if you don't have ability, but as long as you have ability, they will respect you."

Liu Desheng nodded quickly: "That's right, my nephew can't stop praising you, saying that you have earned a lot of face for the international students in our country, because of your relationship, Boston University treats the international students in our country quite preferentially , this is a situation that depends on your hard work."

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled: "Director Liu, don't compliment me, let's talk about the business, the biggest problem you encounter now is that Ford will cancel your status as a negotiator, if you can't make a remedy in time, I'm afraid life will not be easy after returning to China."

Liu Desheng laughed bitterly: "This is indeed a very serious problem. If I don't handle it well, it's not just a matter of my life being difficult. It's very likely that I will be mobbed and attacked, and I will completely lose the hope of taking over the position of factory director. Secretary, this matter can only depend on you, if you have any good ideas, just tell me, and I will definitely cooperate with you without reservation."

Hearing this, Niu Xiaoqiang said to himself: This guy is quite upright, he still has some brains, maybe because these years have been so smooth, that makes him sometimes very arrogant and arrogant. .

He thought of this and said with a smile: "Actually, it is not too difficult to solve this problem. Aren't you negotiating cooperation with Ford as a representative of Yuejin Automobile Factory? As long as I introduce another big cooperation project to you, even if you It doesn't matter if you lose your status as a negotiator with Ford, as long as you follow my instructions, you will achieve greater results, and your future will definitely be bright."

This was the first time Liu Desheng had a talk with Niu Xiaoqiang. He didn't know Niu Xiaoqiang's true level, so he couldn't help showing an uncertain expression when he heard this: "Secretary Niu, are you sure you can introduce another big project for me?"

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded resolutely: "I am a consultant of the Charles Consortium. This status is not a display. I have successfully introduced the Packard Automobile Company under the name of the Charles Consortium to cooperate with my master's Asian Machinery Factory. The Charles Consortium I have invested 30 billion US dollars in this cooperation project, and I have also provided a lot of high-end technology, which should be enough to prove my ability?"

Liu Desheng suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, this matter has proved your status and ability in the Charles Consortium. If you can help me facilitate the similar cooperation between Packard Motor Company and Yuejin Automobile Factory, it will be a great deal for me." A bigger achievement!"

Niu Xiaoqiang chuckled: "Of course I will help, but before that, I need to know the details of the negotiation between your factory and Ford. There are no outsiders here. Please let Factory Manager Liu give me a detailed introduction."

Without any hesitation, Liu Desheng directly told Niu Xiaoqiang all the contents of the negotiation.

After hearing this, Niu Xiaoqiang thought to himself: Sure enough, as I expected, Ford's requirements are not low, and it is obvious that they are bullying people.

On the way Liu Desheng came to Alaska, Niu Xiaoqiang thought about the details of the negotiation between Yuejin Automobile Factory and Ford.He thinks Ford is definitely not so easy to talk about.

Although Ford wanted to enter the Chinese auto market, they were, after all, one of the top three giant auto groups in the world. With their identity and status there, it was impossible to talk so easily.

Liu Desheng's narration confirmed Niu Xiaoqiang's conjecture that Ford was indeed not so easy to talk about.Not only are they not easy to talk to, some demands are even a little too much in Niu Xiaoqiang's view.

For example, Ford requested to obtain 70.00% of the shares of the joint venture company. Even if the Yuejin Automobile Factory agreed to this condition, and the two parties really cooperated, Ford would still have additional conditions.

This additional condition is that Yuejin Automobile Factory must pay half of the price for the automated automobile production line they provide.

Ford's pricing on automated car production lines is not low. The naked price of a production line is one billion US dollars, plus installation and commissioning costs, the total price is nearly 11 billion US dollars.

Based on half-price calculations, Yuejin Automobile Factory needs to spend at least [-] million U.S. dollars.

At present, the country is extremely short of foreign exchange, and the foreign exchange funds allocated to Yuejin Automobile Factory are only [-] million U.S. dollars.If all this money is used to purchase Ford's automated car production line, what else will they use to carry out other joint venture projects?

Even if they reached an agreement with Ford, such a small amount of money would only be enough to purchase an automated car production line.
