Chapter 1755

No matter how many orders, it's useless.

After all, the order only has a few money. A deposit is enough. It will never be paid in full.

At that time, Douglas company did not refuse anyone. As long as they placed an order, they accepted it. However, the company's production capacity was limited.

Isn't it good for an ordinary company to place orders after a few years? It means that the company doesn't have to worry about having no work for several years. They can start work and run at full capacity all the time.

If it is in peacetime, we can really think so, but we should ignore the factor of inflation.

Inflation is a terrible thing. It will appear all over the world.

Ten years ago, my salary was 2000. Now, my salary is 4000. Is it full of happiness? However, if you look at the present steamed bread, there are two steamed bread for one yuan, which is still small. In the past, there were four steamed bread for one yuan, which is still large. You can know what, and the purchasing power has not changed!

This is only for ordinary people, but for factories, it has a more terrible ending. Their orders three years ago were placed according to the price at that time. However, three years later, the aircraft went online, labor was rising, materials were rising, everything was rising, and the price of making aircraft had exceeded the order price at that time!

What about this time? Do you want the other party to continue to add money? Of course, the customer refused. You have to pay more. I'll see you in the court. The order at that time was clearly written in black and white.

The Grumman company was almost crippled in that year. The Navy and their orders were fixed prices. At first, the production of male cat fighters could make money, but later, due to inflation, the production of one would lose one.

The Grumman company finally quit and asked the navy to raise the price. Later, they lost dozens of aircraft, and the Navy began to raise the price. If the Navy insisted on coming according to the contract, the Grumman company may also have to go bankrupt.

The Navy still has a conscience. After all, it has had a friendship with Grumman for decades. Those customers who order airliners do not have any friendship with them. They must follow the order!

Douglas had no choice but to borrow money.

They can only make money by going through this difficult time, making all their previous orders at a loss, and then raising the price to receive new orders.

However, with their continuous borrowing, the company has fallen into a dead circle and finally had to file for bankruptcy. At this time, the customer quit.

Once the company applies for bankruptcy, it will enter the bankruptcy protection procedure and be finally liquidated. The company is also insolvent. There must be no way to ask for the orders of those airlines. Even if they can compensate them for the deposit, what they want is not the deposit, but the aircraft.

So, as soon as Douglas is going bankrupt, those airlines are worried and have huge losses. They are still waiting for the new plane!

Therefore, Douglas wanted to go bankrupt, but other companies didn't let him go. Finally, the banking industry put forward it and found another enterprise to finish it. Therefore, McDonald's company stood up.

In fact, the scale of McDonald's company is very small. It is not as famous as Douglas company in the world. Therefore, although Douglas company was finally acquired by McDonald company, they are unconvinced.

It's a shame that they were bought with only 68 million Eagle yuan. They didn't fail. They were starved to death. Therefore, they secretly resisted the acquisition.

Even if the company's name became McDonnell Douglas, the two companies did not integrate at all. This also shows that McDonald's company at that time lacked means. How could it control an enterprise if it was kind and gentle?

Originally, the company was going bankrupt, but they were saved. They were not grateful, but unconvinced.

MacDonald and Douglas are still like two companies. Not only the company's factories are divided into two places, but also the headquarters are not together. McDonnell Douglas is headquartered in St. Louis and Douglas is in Long Beach, California. Moreover, the company has always been two sets of leadership groups with two legs. The senior management of Douglas is against all kinds of orders from MacDonald.

What do you know? You are engaged in military aircraft. You don't know civil airliners at all!

In fact, MacDonald really doesn't understand that military aircraft are bidding. If the bidding is successful, there will be profits. If there is no successful bidding, it can also be maintained by subcontracting the orders of successful companies. However, civil aircraft are different. We need to understand the market, which is complex and changeable.

Therefore, they are not united at all. If this goes on, it will inevitably lead to the collapse of the company. McDonald bought Douglas, which is a bad move.

In fact, over the years, McDonald's company has also known this crisis, and they also want to change. Therefore, when the eagle industry launched a total quality management campaign in the 1980s, he saw this opportunity.

A core idea of this reform is to emphasize "collaborative work".

At that time, little MacDonald asked all leaders working in Douglas company, including Vice President, to reapply for positions, and to conduct a comprehensive review within the scope of leaders at all levels.

He also realized that Douglas company didn't listen to the command and had to change. Unfortunately, he still couldn't break the axe with a big knife. If he thought it couldn't, he had to replace it or send his capable men over.

This is actually necessary.

Needless to say, a large company, even a small company, will have such a mentality after being acquired. In the face of airborne leaders, they are openly flattering, secretly feel that they are old and want to engage in some small means. Therefore, if you want to manage such an enterprise well, you must make up your mind to fire the senior management completely and let the people below know who is not obedient, Then get out!

Only by this tough means can we manage the company well.

Now, Qin Guan is already ready.

Of course, let's fool first. McDonnell Douglas looks like a big plate, but McDonnell Douglas is going to a dead end, because their cash flow is being consumed and consumed by Douglas's airliner project. The money they earn from the military aircraft is continuously invested in the airliner!

"What shall we do?" asked little MacDonald.

"It depends on your ideal. Do you want an eagle country and even the world's first military aircraft company, or a mess constantly dragged down by airliners, or even merged?" Qin Guan said: "I think you must be careful. Douglas company, the original acquisition was wrong, and the other party should sell it!"
