The Gulfstream V-plane landed at a small airport provided by the American Automobile Company, and Lin saw the greeting staff and two black luxury cars standing on the runway.

"That's the vice president of am, Mr. Claire!" Lyon introduced.

After getting off the plane, Lin Johnson and Claire shook hands. This Claire was definitely not the British Prime Minister Claire. This is a standard American who has visited Beijing several times and negotiated with the joint venture between AM and BAIC, making great contributions to the establishment of BAIC Jeep Company.

Claire smiled and said to Johnson Lin, "Mr. Lin, I have heard of you for a long time. Welcome to am! I will take you to visit the factory now. The other three directors, Mr. Dedevadai, Chairman, Mr. Keppy, and another Vice President, Mr. Foley, will hold a banquet to entertain you!"

"Okay!" Lin Johnson nodded faintly. He glanced at Lyon and said to be honest, Lin Johnson was not satisfied with the reception work of Am. Dongxing Group's business in the United States is also very large, much better than Am with the decline of Jianghe, but the upper level of this old automobile company put on airs in front of him and only sent a vice president. Although Claire is also a director of Am, his status is obviously not equal!

After getting in the car, Lyon quickly said to Lin Johnson: "Lin, don't care, these people are too arrogant, they will sooner or later recognize the situation!"

Lin Qiangsheng said fiercely: "Press them hard and press down on the price when Renault is about to get rid of this burden!"

He is definitely a tit for tooth. When Ah is so neglected, Lin Johnson must have made up for the money.

Lyon gestured to behead his head and said with a smile: "Of course, this is related to my wallet problem! Now there is a good opportunity. I understand that the new model of the am, the Cherokee, has a fatal weakness. This time we may be able to use it and put them in trouble!"

Lin Johnson asked: "What fatal weakness?"

Lyon said confidently: "You will know soon. I have arranged for someone to reveal the news. Am regards the Cherokee model as its last trump card, but this car has a serious flaw!"

The car soon entered the am headquarters. The building was covered with a few large letters of ramble, which represents the most brilliant model of the car manufacturer, Rambler, which was once used in the float parade at Disney theme parks and is a model work of American cars!

Claire led Lin Johnson to visit the factory workshop. Lin Johnson saw that the equipment here was still very new. It is probably the best factory that A-M can do. It is producing the Jeep model, which is Cherokee.

"After Renault Group acquired Am, it added two new production lines with an annual output of 200,000 cars, with a total construction cost of nearly US$400 million, which is one of them. The development of Cherokee Jeep A and Renault has invested a total of US$300 million. Since Cherokee was launched on the market, it has been very popular among buyers and has won many praises in the industry. It also fills the gap in the household jeep market!" Claire introduced to Lin Johnson, who also had the idea of ​​raising the price of Am, although there are not many things that Am can do now!

The workers on the production line strangely saw a yellow man accompanied by Vice President Claire. They began to discuss it one after another, and some even started to make various sounds loudly. In short, their work attitude was very careless.

Lin Johnson asked Claire: "Works usually do this?"

Claire said awkwardly: "Not. Maybe they are, a little hungry!"

There is a 12-hour time difference between Hong Kong and New York, and it is almost time for lunch break. Lin Johnson nodded with a smile and said, "Let's go and see the car production workshop?"

Claire had no choice but to nod and said, "Please come here, it is in another factory, but it is not far away!"

The three of them took a car to another factory in am. This company covers a large area. In fact, this is not all, because the two companies merged and then acquired Jeep Company, which is equivalent to three factories.

Several people walked into the workshop. Lin Johnson found that it seemed much dilapidated here. The workers' casualness and impatientness can be seen from their faces, and their work attitude is also very unserious. In short, both the environment and the workers here are very bad. It seems that am is indeed not good!

Claire told Lin Johnson: "This factory produces small and medium-sized sedans. It has been the production department of the Paer for 79 years. It is a two-door compact car. After it was discontinued in 799, we started to produce the Ameagle model, which is a four-wheel drive sedan!"

At this time, they were in the assembly workshop, Lin Johnson saw an eagle on the shelf. Its body looked very high, just like a car was pressed on an off-road vehicle!

"It looks like a standing crocodile!" Lin Johnson said exaggeratedly.

"Haha, this crocodile is so fierce. Stay away from the yellow race!" A tall and strong man with a very thick beard on his chin looked at Lin Johnson with contempt and said with a smile.

Lin Johnson laughed and stood in front of the assembler. The tall and strong man immediately widened his eyes. He was nearly 1.88 meters tall and looked like a bear. But he didn't expect that the yellow man in front of him was even taller than him. He looked very strong and strong. The white man stared straight at him with his eyes wide open.

Lin Johnson took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said with a smile: "Hello, my name is Johnson, I am very likely to become your boss in the future!"

Amid the workers' whistles, the white man stretched out a wide and fat palm, and he squeezed it hard as soon as he held it, but no matter how hard he gritted his teeth, he couldn't pinch the hand of the yellow man, as if he was holding a piece of iron pliers!

"Billy, give him some color!" someone shouted, and Claire was helpless when he stood aside. These workers were just not going on strike. Now Ah can no longer control them.

Billy's face turned pale, but he still couldn't squeeze Lin Qiangsheng's hands, and he gradually became a little angry.

Lin Johnson kept laughing. He suddenly squeezed hard, and Billy felt a huge pain in his hand, and sweat dripped from his forehead.

Lin Johnson shook hard, and Billy threw his hand out like a lead block, so he didn't take the big guy down. The white man stared at the yellow man in horror. He clenched his fists hard before he could recover. At this time, the yelling workers around him also stopped.

"Very good, Billy, you are very strong, great!" Lin Johnson laughed and patted the strong man on the shoulder.

Claire was embarrassed and didn't know how to explain it. Lyon kept holding his shoulder and watching coldly. Lin Johnson was very ordinary, as if what had happened just now hadn't happened.

Claire finally thought of a topic and suggested to Johnson Lin: "Mr. Lin, I can take you to visit the Am Motor Hall, where all the models have been since the establishment of Am!"

Lin Johnson nodded and said, "Okay, I want to see am's achievements too!"

Claire calmed down the atmosphere and was very happy. He took the two of them to the am Motor Hall not far from the headquarters, which has all the models of the car factory. The car hall is not very big, with large glass windows and wooden floors inside. Cars that have been polished to the ground are placed in the museum to treasure.

"Let me start with the introduction of recent years. On your right hand side is the Cherokee model. This car was actually born in 1974, but what you see is a new small four-wheel drive off-road model launched by the am according to American standards!" Claire said.

Lin Johnson nodded. The acquisition of am was actually for the company's four-wheel drive off-road technology. What he saw was the little Cherokee, which the Chinese were familiar with.

Claire also introduced him to the Paer model. This car was discontinued in 1979. The butt behind it is like it was slashed down by a knife, and it is very wide and flat, which is very weird. The prototype of the villain AER in Car Mobilization 2 is R. It is also a household name in the United States.?

"At the beginning of the founding of Am, the operators of the company decided that this company should avoid GM and Ford and other large car manufacturers, focusing on the production of small and medium-sized cars and adopting a way to avoid competition. During the oil crisis in the 1970s, the Am was indeed very brilliant. The sales of R models were once very good, and it can be said to have reached a hot level!" Claire said in memory.

Lyon said inappropriately: "This car is so ugly!"

Claire smiled, not afraid of its likes and dislikes, and said: "It looks really true now, but the first two years of Paer's launch did sell well!"

"It's a pity that Ah devoted all her energy to small and medium-sized cars, and her skills were not as good as other car manufacturers. I know that Paer was discontinued after only four years of production!" Lyon continued, with an indifferent expression.

Claire did not speak by default, and Lyon was right. It was because Am had been paying attention to small and medium-sized sedans for a long time. Although he avoided the three major American auto giants, he met another powerful competitor, Japanese cars in the mid-1970s!

Japanese artificial models are novel and very cheap, and are much stronger than American cars in terms of fuel-saving technology and power, and the US automobile market has been severely impacted.

The Am, which also produces small and medium-sized cars, quickly declined, and sales fell sharply, which led to a decrease in investment in technology and then a decline in sales. This is a vicious cycle. Without innovation, there will be no market. For so many years, the Am has been suppressed. Either the three giants or Japanese car manufacturers are rotating. They seem to have no future, lack technology investment and old products. Now this company can only survive by producing French Renault models and OEM Chrysler cars.

The situation that Lin Johnson encountered in the workshop just now was due to the operating difficulties of A., which caused wage arrears, workers' work mood was not high, and many workers even took deliberate actions in production, retaliated against the company, making A. worse, and major problems with product quality arise!
