After the press conference, the British royal family specially prepared a celebration banquet. It is regarded as the emphasis on investors, and of course, it is also to thank the officials and entrepreneurs who came to support. Not only guests, but also journalists can participate. It may also be to highlight the image of the British royal family as being close to the people, and no one can ignore the propaganda of journalists.
However, countries around the world have many opinions on the investment of Black Cloud Group, Motorola, Mitsubishi and McDonnell Douglas in the UK. Especially in the countries and regions where the four companies are located, the public does not seem to buy it very much.
The biggest response is of course the United States, after all, they have two companies in the past. Moreover, McDonnell Douglas and Motorola are both well-known domestic companies, and they actually go abroad to engage in such large projects. Although the relationship between Britain and the United States is good, the brothers still have to settle their accounts. Two such important domestic companies have invested in the UK, how come no news and rumors have been disclosed before!
Now all is said and done, the US has always advertised freedom of commerce, and it involves the UK. The Soviet Union is still staring at it there, rashly conflicting with the United Kingdom, it is estimated that the Soviets can wake up laughing from their dreams.
But if I don't do anything, I can't get past the cut in my heart. President Reagan called Commerce Secretary Howard Malcolm Baldrige directly to the White House to ask in person what was going on. What preventive measures will be taken in the future, can not always be so unclear.
Although the science and technology town project has been established for a long time, the corporate action force of the United States is not comparable to that of the Soviet Union. After all, U.S. companies are privately held, with no interests, and who will invest in businesses with no hope.
The Soviet Union is a state-owned enterprise, as long as it is what Moscow wants to do. The following must be implemented unconditionally, and it is still not dare to discount that kind. By contrast, America's tech towns are certainly lagging behind. Projects such as the super-large passenger aircraft manufacturing base have actually settled in the UK. And Americans still account for half of the investment, and I must be very upset.
If any head of state does not consider domestic economic problems, he will not be able to last long, and the people's life must be guaranteed first. With the rise of the economies of Japan and West Germany, coupled with the cross of the Heiyun Group, the domestic economic development in the United States is not good. At least the people are not very satisfied and the unemployment rate remains high.
Now that the two industrial giants are directly investing in the UK, it is impossible for the president to remain indifferent.
Of course, Howard Malcolm Baldrige knew what Reagan was calling him for, but he also had a black eye. It was not clear until the launch that McDonnell Douglas and Motorola had invested in the UK.
But what's the use of talking about these now, it would be dereliction of duty if you didn't notice it before. There must be an explanation for the president, and the public also needs an explanation from the business department.
Reagan did not give the love general a good look, and rewards and punishments were clearly required courses for the superior. As the president of the United States, one of the world's two most powerful national leaders, it can be said that he played this set perfectly.
Reagan: "Motorola and McDonnell Douglas have invested in the UK in the past. I hope you can give me an explanation, and more importantly, explain the situation to the public."
It is an indisputable fact that any country in the world needs high-end industries. Now two well-known American companies have quietly invested in the UK, and there was no news at all before. The unemployment rate in the United States is so high. If the 10 billion US dollars are invested in the United States, it can also solve a big problem.
Howard Malcolm Baldrige is not very clear, but it's a question he has to answer. Fortunately, I had an understanding of the incident before coming here, and basically figured out the situation.
He could only bite the bullet and say, "This time, Motorola and McDonnell Douglas decided to invest in the UK temporarily. They didn't have such a plan before. It's also my dereliction of duty. I didn't expect them to make a decision so quickly."
The U.S. Department of Commerce has long been informed by Heiyun and McDonnell Douglas, Motorola, and Mitsubishi to jointly develop super passenger aircraft. Previously, I only felt that the assembly would be carried out in McDonnell Douglas' existing workshop. The four companies informed that Motorola was responsible for the chip and communication system, Mitsubishi was responsible for parts processing, and Heiyun was responsible for engine research and development; finally, McDonnell Douglas was responsible for the complete assembly.
The arrangement is still very reasonable, and the advantages of several companies can be brought into play. Moreover, McDonnell Douglas has a ready-made workshop, which can be put into use with a little modification.
Who would have thought that the super-large airliner project would make such a big noise all of a sudden. But it's too late to say anything now, after all, it's a done deal. Does the US Department of Commerce want to prevent Motorola and McDonnell Douglas from building factories in the UK, so that the relationship with the UK in the future, you don't have to think about what will happen.
Reagan glanced at the able-bodied man, at least so far satisfied with the secretary of commerce. But there must be an explanation for this matter, and it must be ensured that similar incidents cannot occur.
There is no doubt about Malcolm Baldrige's ability, knowing that he received a huge surprise after his tenure as secretary of commerce.
After the end of his term, President Reagan deliberately used his name; named an award, this honor is not for everyone.
The Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award of the United States was established by the "Public Law 100~107" issued by former President Ronald Reagan in 1987, aiming to establish a quality award program. To arouse people's attention and commitment to quality, to regard quality as a national priority, to help the economic recovery of the United States in the 1990s. By rewarding and honoring U.S. organizations with a strong commitment to quality and high performance, the nation's incentives and systems for quality are established. And share the successful experience of the award-winning enterprises with the majority of enterprises; guide the majority of enterprises to apply the excellent performance model for self-assessment; promote the continuous improvement of enterprises, and improve the competitiveness of enterprises and the country.
I just don't know if there is such a major mistake in this life, whether I can still get this honor.
Reagan: "There is no way to remedy this now, at least not in the future. As Secretary of Commerce, you should know what's going on in the domestic economy, and a $10 billion project has settled in the UK. It means adding a strong competition to American companies. Opponents, can't be taken lightly."
Reagan was right, if he knew that the four companies jointly developed the super-large passenger aircraft project and settled in the UK. No matter what you say, you have to stop it. There is no fait accompli and everything is negotiable. Now the British side has held a grand press conference there, and blocking it is tantamount to breaking an arm.
During the Cold War, Europe's location as a bridgehead against the Soviet Union was very important. Britain is also a bridge between continental Europe and the United States, as can be seen from the attack on Germany together during World War II. It is not conducive to the national strategy of the United States to rashly offend the United Kingdom. We can only endure first. At present, everything is mainly to weaken the Soviet Union.
But we can't do nothing, unconditionally support our allies, and undermine the core interests of the United States.
Malcolm Baldrige said earnestly: "This time, Bao Zixuan is the leader of the Black Cloud Group. This kid is too fast. Under normal circumstances, such a major project would take half a year or even longer to conduct preliminary inspections. But Bao Zixuan actually Playing cards against common sense, not knowing what the British promised, they decided to build a super passenger jet production base in the UK in less than a week."
"In addition, Heiyun Group has made too much profit in the international market in recent years, and all partners have made a lot of money, which has already produced a sense of unconditional trust."
"As long as the business department keeps an eye on the trend of Heiyun Group, especially when Bao Zixuan cooperates with local American companies, there will be no such problems, and we also hope that other departments will cooperate."
The words are still very subtle, other departments must refer to the intelligence department. Reagan was a smart guy and certainly knew what Malcolm Baldrige meant. It's just that some words can't be said clearly, otherwise it's not good for everyone arranges the intelligence department to investigate a legitimate businessman. Once such a thing is exposed, it is a scandal, and no one can afford the consequences.
Reagan: "There is a chance to invite Bao Zixuan over, whether he admits it or not. This kid has become a benchmark in the business field. As long as he is in the past, he can bring employment wherever he goes."
"Release some goodwill at an appropriate time, and don't always speak out with antitrust investigations."
The most important deterrent to big companies by the US Department of Commerce is undoubtedly the antitrust investigation, and it has been tried and tested.
As the largest taxpayer in the United States, the Black Cloud Group has added the influence of Bao Zixuan. If it goes on like this, how can people invest in the United States on a large scale. To drive such an excellent enterprise out is tantamount to digging its own grave.
In fact, Reagan also knew that for the Black Cloud Group to develop like this, it must be a serious problem for his confidants in the future. But again, the Soviet Union is the first threat. If the United States wants to gain an advantage in the Cold War, then economic growth is very important.
