Bao Zixuan has always been worried that the Americans will ask him to pay, and this worry is not unreasonable. After all, the purchase of British war bonds has been rumored before, and maybe the Americans will treat him as a fat sheep.
Heiyun Automobile and Heiyun Computer have developed so well, especially Heiyun Computer, which can bring huge profits every year. Because of some relationships, these money can only be placed in the United States; after all, if you want to transfer abroad, you need to pay high fees. Is it the Americans who want to pay attention to this money? It's not impossible.
During the Cold War, the US and the Soviet Union had huge military expenditures. Even if the US economy was the largest in the world, it would be very difficult to support it. With Bao Zixuan, a ready-made big family of Heiyun Group, it is normal for him to bleed a little.
What if the U.S. side forcibly implements war bonds, at least have a sense of it. With the wealth of the richest man, the meaning is incredible.
Americans have really thought about this issue, but this kind of thing cannot be done so blatantly. The US system is different from that of the UK, and Hong Kong is still under the jurisdiction of the British. In addition to worrying about pushing people too quickly, Bao Zixuan moved the company away, so he would lose a lot.
As long as this kid can repurchase the retired military vehicle, it will help the US side very busy. As for the rest, it's all about volunteering.
After Bao Zixuan got into the car, John Chambers was already waiting for him. Picking up at the airport in the past couldn't help, so it's better to report the situation in the car. John Chambers knew the boss's character, so he brought the Department of Defense tender with him.
John Chambers: "Boss, it's been a long journey. According to your request, the materials are ready. But I suggest you take a good rest. The Ministry of Defense's tender will be held the day after tomorrow."
The richest man in Bao certainly knows what John Chambers means, but it is better to prepare more at this time. Without understanding the true intentions of the US Department of Defense, we dare not relax.
Bao Zixuan: "I'm fine, let's talk about the situation first!"
According to the original historical trajectory, most of the future military vehicles of the US military will be provided by Humvees. The Hummer belongs to General Motors, which seems to have little to do with other manufacturers.
There was no such thing as a tender before, so why is there a lot of fanfare to invite tenders now? Could it be because of the appearance of the Black Cloud Car, but it shouldn't be. Because when the Jeep and Dodge were acquired, the military part had been completely stripped away, and no matter what happened, they could not be found.
John Chambers was also confused. When Ian Wright came to the door, he felt that the general was in the wrong place, knowing that Chrysler was next door. It wasn't until the other party explained his intentions that he found out that it was actually true.
Then we must face it seriously. At present, black cloud aircraft, ground effect aircraft, and automobile factories in the Middle East all have military R&D and production capabilities. If the U.S. Department of Defense can put Heiyun Automobile on the list of suppliers. Then there are huge benefits for the brand expansion, technology improvement and product line upgrade of Heiyun Auto.
John Chambers: "Previously, the U.S. government only wanted to replace some of the vehicles and distribute them to elite troops. However, due to serious dissatisfaction from other troops, under pressure, the Ministry of Defense decided to replace all military vehicles in active service."
"At this time, most of the military vehicles in the United States were produced during the Vietnam War, and they have not improved much over the years. Most of the military spending was allocated to the navy and the air force, but the army is the largest existence. The army command may be seriously dissatisfied. Only then has this tender for the replacement of military vehicles."
Although John Chambers said it very implicitly, but the discerning person knows; this is to convey benefits in disguise. Is it really that simple, maybe I think too much.
Intelligence capabilities in the United States are still too weak and need to be strengthened. It was too easy to think before, GM and Ford still have to send people over. Not to mention stealing any advanced technology, at least you need to know some of the dynamics of these two companies.
Bao Zixuan: "Things shouldn't be as simple as they seem, or else they will come to us to do something. Is it just to show fairness, but it doesn't look like it."
"Although I, Bao Zixuan, are not a big man, I am not the one who can be called to and fro by everyone. Although the US Department of Defense is not afraid of us, it will be somewhat scruples."
"If it's just a simple foil, it's enough for you to come forward. Why do you have to invite me to come in person? There must be more than just bidding for military vehicles."
John Chambers has also considered these issues, and also told Ian Wright that the boss can talk to him about everything, regardless of specific matters. But the other party said that the invitation to Bao Zixuan was the meaning of the Minister of Defense. As one of the most powerful figures in the United States, this face cannot be denied.
John Chambers: "This is my work mistake. I thought that the Black Cloud Group would definitely not receive orders from the military. I didn't pay too much attention to the dynamics of the Ministry of Defense. Now it seems that our preparations are not enough."
As the global head of Heiyun Group's US branch and Heiyun Automobile, John Chambers felt that he was dereliction of duty if he did not get news in the United States. You must know that Bao Zixuan doesn't care about specific affairs at all, and has never restricted him in terms of funds. The United States is the most economically developed country in the world, and its military strength is on a par with the Soviet Union.
The boss's ambition and the development of Heiyun Group have reached this scale, and many things should not be prepared in advance. In the future, the problem should be considered more comprehensively. Heiyun Group is an enterprise with a military license.
John - Chambers has done well, and now he has not grown into the height of the world's first professional manager. Sometimes it is not a good thing to unplug the seedlings and encourage them, at least many people still have to give them time to exercise and adapt.
Bao Zixuan: "I can't blame you all for this matter. Heiyun Automobile has never participated in the US sales before. This time, the Ministry of National Defense took the initiative to come to the door; "
"At present, the Black Cloud Group has entered the field of military industry, and many American industrial enterprises are our competitors."
"You are an American, will the U.S. Department of Defense force the group to buy treasury bonds like the British did?"
It turns out that the boss is worried about this, so it is completely unnecessary.
John Chambers: "No, the U.S. economy has developed rapidly in recent years. And there are many companies in the United States that are larger than Heiyun. If Heiyun is forced to buy treasury bonds. How much will Morgan, Rockefeller and other families buy? Even the White House will Don't dare to force these big Mac families in the United States."
Hearing John Chambers' analysis, Bao Zixuan felt relieved. In fact, the previous worry was also related to the cause that he planted. At present, Saudi Arabia is making every effort to develop its own economy and to build infrastructure in the country. Of course, there is not much money left to buy U.S. Treasury bonds, and it may not be reflected in a short period of time, but Americans will definitely not be able to accept it for a long time.
It seems that we still have to make plans early, and the money in the black cloud account still has to be spent. U.S. real estate is not necessary, acquisition of other companies can be considered, and there are already goals.
At the same time, Heiyun Bank is also in a rising period, and it can use huge funds to build a world in the United States.
Bao Zixuan: "There is still a lot of money in the account of the US branch of Heiyun Group, although it can be used as an emergency. However, it is difficult to use US funds when there is a problem in Xiangjiang, and the acquisition plan must be accelerated."
The U.S. government is not stupid. How can you easily take money out of the U.S.? That's a hefty tax bill, and the proportions will make you doubt your life.
In fact, it is not only the United States, but many countries in the world. John Chambers knew that the boss was worried about too much cash and too much risk.
After all, once the dollar exchange rate drops it will be a great economic loss.
John Chambers: "We have been secretly acquiring shares in Caterpillar before, and it is going well. But to complete the acquisition, at least $5 billion is needed. After all, this is the largest engineering equipment and mining truck manufacturer in the United States. ."
Bao Zixuan has set his sights on Caterpillar in the United States, and the acquisition plan has already been secretly started. At present, the effect seems to be pretty good. As long as the Ministry of Defense can't do anything, I believe that the funds of American companies are sufficient.
Heiyun Computer Company is really too profitable, and at this time Heiyun Mobile Phone Company has become the two carriages of the group. There is a lot to keep pace with, and the future development prospects are even brighter.
Many financial companies have been looking for many times, hoping to become the listed underwriter of Heiyun Computer Company. At present, the richest man in Bao has not let go.
This time when I came to the United States, we should make changes, and we must share some benefits. Otherwise, it will cause unnecessary trouble, and the enemy is always watching him.
The two chatted about some tender details again, and the car came to the hotel. John Chambers also knew that the boss was tired from the trip, so he went straight to his room.
