Chapter 178: Helpless Choice
United States.
Detroit City, Michigan.
General Motors, which has experienced a century of vicissitudes of life, is headquartered in the city of automobiles Detroit.
Durant, vice president of global business summary, held a report from the Greater China branch and knocked on the president's office door with a slightly panic expression.
"Hender, it's me."
"The door is not locked, come in!"
An old Mediterranean man was looking through a document. This person was Han Desheng, who had just served as the global president of General Motors in September last year. Although the name is like the Chinese name, this guy is actually a genuine American white man.
"Hender, something big happened." Durant stacked the documents directly in front of Han Desheng.
Han Desheng had a little unhappy in his eyes, and felt that he had been offended, and did not open the file: "Durant, you have to learn to control your emotions. This is not the way a qualified manager."
Durant, who was in a hurry, almost cursed, but then he suppressed his anger: "Hender, this matter is really important, and it may be related to the future of General Motors..."
"You are still not calm enough. When I encounter anything, I will calm down first so that I will not make mistakes."
Durant was about to beat the other party up and said: "Hender, can I finish listening to me?"
"OK, then you can tell me!" Han Desheng put his hands on his chest, with a calm and calm expression.
"Chinese people, the Suiren Company invented two new products, one is a temperature differential power generation system made of new thermoelectric materials, and the other is a new composite solar panel..."
Han Desheng disagreed. While shook his head gently, he picked up the coffee and savored the Southeast Asian cat shit coffee. At the same time, he looked down on Durant more and more. If the other party was not from the founder of General Motors, he would have fired such unconventional employees directly.
Perhaps only by his calmness and rationality can he be qualified to lead General Motors to a more glorious future, Han Desheng thought to himself.
Looking at the careless Han Desheng, Durant emphasized his tone: "Hender, the ZT value of the other party's thermoelectric material is 11.37, the temperature difference power generation efficiency reaches 24%, and the solar panel efficiency reaches 41.2%. Have you heard it clearly?"
"Isn't it..." Han Desheng answered casually, then was stunned, doubting his ears, he asked back: "How many"
Durant was furious and stared at Han Desheng's eyes directly: "ZT value is 11.37, the temperature difference power generation efficiency is 24%, and the solar power generation efficiency is 41.2%. Do you understand now, my Mr. President!"
The shocked Han Desheng fell off his coffee cup in his hand and then jumped up in shock. He didn't care about his wet pants and his calm and rational image. He grabbed the document and browsed it carefully.
The more he looked, the cold sweat broke out on Han Desheng's forehead: "No, how could I not believe this? It can be improved so much!"
"Hender, the engineers from Greater China have personally experienced it. I have confirmed it three times before reporting to you. Now you know why I am so anxious!" Durant was full of resentment.
Han Desheng, who was sitting down, kept rubbing his hot face with one hand. I don’t know if he was panicked or ashamed.
After five or six minutes, he woke up from his shock, took a deep breath and said, "Huh! Durant, we need this technology."
"I know, the problem is that the research and development company of this technology is Suiren Company. You will not forget the ban two months ago."
"...Oh Maiga! Damn, I almost forgot about this." Han Desheng gently knocked his head.
His brain quickly started to work and he thought about how to deal with it. Although Han Desheng was not as calm as he imagined, he still had his professional qualities as he could serve as the president of General Motors.
“We might be able to separate.”
Durant instantly understood: "Domestic and foreign versions"
"That's right, it's not banned all over the world. At least the Western Union does not have bans, there are no local markets, and there are other regions. Anyway, Toyota and Volkswagen are the same." After saying that, Han Desheng became a little proud.
As for patriotism, Han Desheng's opinion is worthless. If he cannot guarantee GM's profit, the board of directors will let him go directly.
If you have money, you won’t be shabby.
Then he called the president of Greater China and asked the other party to contact Suiren Company as soon as possible and reach cooperation.
After hanging up the phone.
He immediately called several major shareholders of the board of directors one by one, giving him a vaccination in advance so as not to use him as a shield when he was not allowed.
Han Desheng had a very clear attitude, either the board of directors accepted his plan and signed a letter of attorney; or the board of directors opened him and asked others to take over the mess.
Obviously, the capitalists' brain circuits are surprisingly consistent. In the face of interests, they dare to sell the rope that hangs themselves, let alone trample on a ban.
General Motors' board of directors agreed to Han Desheng's plan, adopting double standards. If local bans are prohibited, they will not be installed in local cars. If there is no ban in foreign countries, it can naturally be used.
On the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.
The German Federation of the Western Union.
Volkswagen Group's global headquarters.
After receiving a report from Thomas, president of China Branch, Volkswagen's senior management immediately held an emergency meeting.
President Martin Wendeen, veteran consultant Ferdinand Piech, and several vice presidents, in the office, the atmosphere was quite heavy.
Although Ferdinand Piech retired in 2002, he has extraordinary influence in Volkswagen Group and also serves as an advisor and president of the Supervisory Council.
He read the report of the Greater China president in silence, raised his head and said, "Martin, what are your thoughts?"
Martin looks gentle, but in fact he is a very capable person. He said helplessly: "We are behind and we must use the temperature difference power generation system of Suiren Company, otherwise we will lose our competitiveness."
"Suiren Company!" Ferdinand Piech said this word lightly. He only started to learn more about many things about this company half a year ago. After learning about a lot of things, he had a intuition in his heart that this company would cause big trouble to Volkswagen in the future.
Unexpectedly, before half a year has passed, Suiren Company began to subvert the automobile industry.
"The one who defeated us may not be the one who made cars. Martin, I have a premonition that Volkswagen will face threats from the other party in the future, so you must be wary of this company."
"I will notice, Mr. Ferdinand."
Ferdinand shook his head and sighed: "Now cooperation is the best choice and the worst choice. It's too passive. If there is only one technology, I will definitely not agree to cooperation."
Everyone present looked depressed because they knew that they were investing in the enemy now. Once Suiren Company continues to grow and grow, it will cause an increasingly greater threat to Volkswagen Group.
Since March last year, China's bearing technology has quickly caught up with the international advanced level with the help of Suiren Company.
In November last year, the supply of a large amount of nano-pure iron powder once again strengthened the material strength of China.
These things are closely related to this Suiren Company.
