Chapter 3114

GM, I can't make it.

Although Eagle country is an immigrant country with a total history of only a few hundred years, this country has advanced industry and technology. If you want to say the basic industry, of course, it is the automobile industry.

Eagle country has a large number of automobile brands. After its development, their country caught up with the era of automobile industry. Therefore, their main automobile brands began from that era. The most famous is Ford. In that year, Ford first created the production line to build a car, One person can only make one part, which greatly improves the production efficiency and competitiveness.

Ford is also the only one in the auto history of Eagle country that has no bankruptcy record.

In the long history, a large number of automobile brands have been born in Yingguo. Naturally, a large number of automobile brands have been eliminated.

Of course, most of them are unknown. If you look at the relevant records, the first page is full from a, all of which are a, which is dazzling.

However, the rest is quite good. In particular, when GM was brilliant, it once pocketed Ford's landmark building in the motor city, but now GM is in turmoil.

In Eagle country, many are called General Motors, such as general electric, general dynamics, etc. These are not a large consortium, but their names are similar. General Motors is also completely independent.

GM, founded in 1908, is one of the pride of Eagle country and a successful teaching case of countless financial and economic textbooks. This automobile group has many classic brands, such as Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC, and some less famous brands, such as Zeng Pontiac, Hummer, Saturn, Saab and general motors. It is definitely a behemoth.

How powerful is this GM? Even in the most popular Apollo lunar landing program in previous years, the lunar rover carried in the lunar module launched by Saturn V was built by GM. it is the only manned vehicle used on an alien planet in the world. It can be said that GM is the symbol of Eagle automobile design, manufacturing and technology.

However, such a behemoth has come to the brink of bankruptcy, which makes people sigh.

Of course, this is caused by many factors.

For example, in Eagle's auto market, the local auto industry has been difficult in recent years. After entering the 1990s, the price of gasoline soared. The fuel consumption of eagle's own cars is too high. As a result, local citizens have chosen fuel-efficient cars made in the island.

The automobile war has long been fought. However, the automobile enterprises in the island countries still firmly occupy the market of Eagle country and constantly erode the living space of local cars in Eagle country. Now, GM is struggling, and the recent economic crisis is the last straw to crush the camel.

In fact, different countries focus on different aspects. The auto enterprises in Eagle country are always the most backward in terms of fuel consumption. In that parallel time and space, GM comprehensively promoted the three cylinder engine, that is, for the average fuel consumption of the enterprise to meet the standard. Since they can't compare with the formal science and technology, they can only follow this crooked way. As a result, they can't get through, and finally they can only retreat.

Moreover, now, they can't squeeze in the huge Chinese market.

Han is now in a period of vigorous development. There is a great demand for cars in Han. In fact, all auto giants have long been staring at Han.

But they can't get in.

If it is purely imported, even according to the arrangement of the general agreement on Tariffs and trade, the tariff price is incredibly low. The cost of their cars across the sea is also higher than that of the cars produced locally in China. Moreover, not only the price is high, but also the performance is better than that of the main domestic automobile enterprises in China, the terrible giant northern automobile factory and several subordinate automobile groups, The models developed are simply daunting.

The cheap ones include QQ produced by Haihe automobile factory, which can be used in urban and rural areas. There are some high-end and atmospheric ones. There are red flag cars. They have also developed such freaks as SUVs, which are highly praised. In particular, many of their vehicles have entered the era of turbocharging, with high engine performance, fast speed-up and low fuel consumption. Therefore, foreign pure imported vehicles, Not at all. Moreover, there are still several private automobile factories in the Han country, which have begun to flourish and wantonly seize the market of the Han country, and outsiders can't get in at all.

If you want to reduce the price, you can only invest and set up factories in the Han country and take advantage of the local low labor cost to reduce the car price. At this time, you face another problem.

The state of Han has set a high threshold for investment in factories. It can't be a sole proprietorship. It must be a joint venture. It has to find local manufacturers to cooperate. Moreover, it has to promise that the technology will be completely transferred within a few years. It's a fart.

If GM can seize the huge automobile market in China and squeeze in, it may be able to develop rapidly. Now, GM can only develop locally. Even with the development of the European market in China, their market share in Europe has been reduced. However, the competition can only gradually vicious circle and fall into the brink of bankruptcy.

Qin Guan now mentioned this aspect and put forward his own idea to Ruijian: "our North heavy truck factory wants to buy General Motors. Although there are great risks, we still want to try."

This risk is very big. The Chinese bought Douglas company. As a result, they will be choked by the eagle people from time to time. If they buy GM again, they may face the same situation. There is a story of farmers and snakes.

However, in recent years, the crisis has not been big. Until the problem of the mountain country is solved, the eagle country should not have a complete friendship with the Han country. There will be fewer similar things.

By acquiring GM, you can change the standard of Hongqi cars and sell them to Eagle country in the name of GM. you know, Han cars have entered Europe, but they still haven't opened the market of Eagle country. This is the last hard bone. Eagle country is a country living on wheels after all, and they still have a great demand for cars, A few years will be enough for the red flag car to open the market. In the future, even if the two sides are hostile, the people of Eagle country will decide to buy the red flag car out of their own interests.
