After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 406 Flannery
After drinking some wine at noon and resting for two and a half hours, Lu Liang went to visit General Motors Group in the afternoon.

"Lao Zhuang, you have been in Detroit for a few months now. Have you found any good talents?"

As soon as Lu Liang finished speaking, Xu Jiawei knew that his boss was going to help the company reduce its burden and recruit talented graduates.

This time, Hitoshi Ota came and brought good news that Hyundai Group's Kim Kwang-ji had agreed to their invitation.

The family decided to move to Shanghai, and both of their children were specially recruited by Fudan High School to become reserve students for Fudan University.

I am currently in the process of resigning and in contact with some mid- to senior-level engineers at Hyundai. I will bring up some issues when the time comes.

When it comes to poaching people, their boss Lu has always treated everyone equally, no matter if they are friendly companies, cooperative companies, or hostile companies.

Whenever there is a chance, he would wield his hoe and dig hard.

According to Boss Lu, they are newcomers in the industry, and these old companies should support the old and the young and pass on the torch.

Scorpio is probably the only one who can describe poaching in such a refreshing and refined way.

Zhuang Wei was stunned, and understood Lu Liang's intention: "Boss Lu, it seems that several engineers in the technical department have shown a strong interest in our culture."

General Motors is a regular entrant into the Fortune 500 and has been ranked in the top 30 for many years in a row. Besides, the salaries and benefits in the US are not low to begin with.

If they want to attract high-end talents, they can only start with their interests and hobbies.

It just so happens that the land of Dongda has a splendid civilization of 5,000 years and has been in a stage of rapid development in the past decade.

The Western media has been blocking the news, always saying that they are very backward, but wherever European and American families see, they basically see that they are dismantled and manufactured.

In addition, GM's total revenue last year was US$377 billion, of which the Tokyo market accounted for 18.2%, and joint venture vehicle sales exceeded 400 million units.

GM's joint venture cars alone sold 400 million units, and the German and globally popular Japanese cars sold a total of over 2200 million units.

In a market with total annual automobile sales exceeding 2200 million units, for a country with such consumption power, saying that the economy is backward is probably only enough to fool children.

It’s just that YouTube, the world’s largest video website, has been limiting the flow of videos that glorify domestic content and removing them.

AK Media, which mainly promotes South Asians, is a group of monkeys who scream and live like primitive people. This has led many low-intelligence people in the Western world to believe that Asians are like this.

If someone likes to watch, there is a need.
Where there is need, there is a market.

So this situation arises: Asians on the Internet live like primitive people, but in reality, demolition and manufacturing are everywhere.

Gradually, Todai was shrouded in mystery.

There are fine products from the United States and Japan in China, and there are fine products from China abroad.

Moreover, unlike China, Western countries have basically experienced a great integration of countries and races, resulting in them having little sense of identity with their motherland and nation.

It is relatively simple to introduce it into China.

"Lao Zhuang, I'll leave this matter to you. Increase your salary by 70%-100%."

Lu Liang treats all job hopping equally, with 30-70% of Chinese job hopping and 70-100% of foreigners.

The cost for foreigners is indeed higher, but after all, they are going to a strange country where they have no relatives and cannot speak the language, so it should be higher.

Just like the civil engineer guy, his monthly salary for moving bricks in China is only 1 to yuan, but if he goes to a small African country, he can easily earn more than yuan.

But the cap is 100%, any higher is not worth it.

Zhuang Wei nodded. They came here to study and would return to China sooner or later. If they could take a few more high-end talents with them, it would not be in vain that Boss Lu had paid so much tuition for them.

They provided the money and GM provided the technology, and the two sides cooperated to build a factory in Detroit, just for an electric car that had not yet been released.

This investment is essentially paying tuition fees.

It can be seen that Lu Liang has considered the long-term and is unwilling to use foreign products, so he took the lead in the establishment of the Lingshui New Energy Industrial Park project, and now cooperates with General Motors to send them over.

Ultimately, it is hope that one day, purely domestically produced new energy vehicles will no longer be synonymous with low-end, cheap, and without technological background.

Although people often joke that the so-called new energy vehicles are just mobile phones plus four wheels.

But after all, it is a vehicle that travels on the road. It can be crudely made or it can be made to perfection.

Lu Liang is undoubtedly the latter.

"Stop talking, people are coming."

Lu Liang warned in a low voice, with a bright smile on his face, and hugged a foreigner in his fifties dressed in a suit and tie: "Flannery, long time no see, did you miss me?"

John Flannery, 10th Chairman and 11th Chief Executive Officer of General Motors.

They met once the last time they came to Detroit.

"Lu, I miss you so much." Flannery smiled and spoke in unstandard Chinese, sounding like Feng Gong. "Really? But why don't I feel that way?"

Lu Liang's face gradually turned cold, and he suddenly became angry, saying that there was a young man in their team who was bullied here.

This guy looks smiling, festive and friendly like Maitreya Buddha, but if you judge him by his appearance and think he is easy to talk to, you are wrong.

Flannery has been in charge of General Motors' financial business, mainly responsible for corporate restructuring and capital operations.

He became famous for acquiring Alstom in 13 and then became the CEO and chairman of General Motors.

Alstom, known as the French 'BYD', builds the world's fastest trains and most powerful fully automated metro trains, and is a global leader in power generation and rail infrastructure.

As the saying goes, a common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade.

Ever since the last French man fell, the once Gallic rooster has completely withered. Not only has it been taken over by the blacks, but even its backbone has been taken away.

Alstom’s executives were placed under house arrest for three years, and the entire group was dismembered in exactly the same way that Japan’s semiconductor industry was dismembered.

Although national power was mobilized, there are many forces in the United States. The fact that General Motors was able to take the biggest piece of the pie is enough to illustrate Flannery's ability.

Flannery looked calm and smiling, "Mr. Lu, are you talking about Meng Yifei? This was our negligence. We decided to compensate him $100,000."

"Mike, George has been punished by the department and his annual bonus has been deducted. If you are still not satisfied, we can modify the punishment for both of them until you are satisfied."

"Your subordinates are my family. I will never allow anyone to bully them here."

Lu Liang narrowed his eyes and suddenly laughed: "Flannery, you are worthy of being my good friend."

Several people were fighting, or to be more precise, Meng Yifei was beaten by two people.

Moreover, it was the other party who provoked first and caused trouble after drinking. Lu Liang only found out about this just now.

No results have been obtained in the past half month.

The matter was dealt with as soon as he arrived. It was obvious that this guy predicted that he would take the opportunity to make trouble and show his power, so he dealt with it in advance so that Lu Liang had no reason to lose his temper.

"After all, we are good friends."

Flannery smiled, even though they were unhappy that they were forced by Trump to cooperate with Lu Liang.

But it is a fait accompli. Life is like XX. If you can't resist it, you have to learn how to enjoy it.

An investment of five billion US dollars is not a small amount. Lu Liang wants to learn their technology, and they also want to make use of it.

Fighting is such a stupid thing and has no benefit. It will only give Lu Liang the opportunity to attack. It is definitely not his idea.

His real intention was to make Lu Liang's efforts go in vain, to fail to steal the chicken and end up losing the rice.

As the two men, each with their own concerns, talked, Flannery talked about the reason why Lu Liang went to the United States: "Is it to assist the panda roadshow?"

Lu Liang was surprised: "GM is also interested?"

"Not only GM, but also many capital institutions in the United States and even Europe are probably interested."

Flannery was surprised that Lu Liang didn't know that 'Panda' had become a rising star in the European and American financial circles.

After all, the name is so clever. It is the only Asian creature in the world that is black, white, fat and a vegetarian.

Panda diplomacy has existed as early as the last century, and many people who don’t know the truth even think it is a big enterprise.

What's more, Lu Liang still holds a lot of shares, the issue price is only US$2.2, and the total market value is just over US$40 billion.

Moreover, the news that Shanghai Station has frozen hundreds of billions of dollars has spread throughout Wall Street, indicating that institutions in the East are also very optimistic.

It can be said that Panda, as a company, is just like this creature. It is already full of buffs before it even goes public.

This stock price and market value are perfect for speculation.

The entire financial world is eyeing this piece of cake.

Just wait for the listing and join the battlefield.

"Maybe they just want to find an excuse."

Lu Liang was speechless, and saw the essence of the incident at a glance.

There has to be a reason for anything to happen, and the financial market needs gimmicks the most.

As for whether there will be a mess after the hype, that is not within their consideration.
