Chapter 1733 You Have 2 Years
The weather in Boston is very cold. There is thick snow on both sides of the road. Fortunately, there is no mud on the road, and the overall appearance is very clean.
Lin Qingya arranged for Muye Technology's branch in Boston in advance to reserve a high-end motorcade and security team for Li Mu. Li Mu sat in the same Cadillac as the US President's Army No. 1 and went to the restaurant with Su Yingxue.
When the convoy was less than a kilometer away from the reserved restaurant, Li Mu saw a figure walking cautiously on the side of the road. The man was wearing a long white down jacket and wrapped himself in a hat with a thick fur collar. Seriously.
For some reason, Li Mu felt that the owner of this figure must be Su Yingxue.
So he asked the driver to pull over, lowered the window and shouted at the girl, "Yingxue!"
Wrapped in a big hat and wearing a thick mask, Su Yingxue, who was looking down at the road, suddenly raised her head and looked at Li Mu in the car in surprise and joy.
Li Mu hurriedly opened the door and got out of the car, came to her in three or two steps, and asked, "Why are you walking here?"
Su Yingxue pointed behind her and said with a smile, "I came by the subway and walked about a few hundred meters."
Li Mu smiled and said, "It's too cold, get in the car."
Su Yingxue blinked and asked him, "Would you like to walk? It won't be so cold when you walk."
Li Mu nodded cheerfully and extended his hand to her.
Su Yingxue handed her hand to Li Mu, and Li Mu used his right hand to put her left hand into his pocket.
Just a few steps out, Li Mu hurriedly put on the hat of his down jacket.
Li Mu couldn't help but sigh: "This ghost place is much colder than the winter in Yanjing."
Su Yingxue smiled and said: "You haven't learned geography well, the latitude of this place is similar to our northeast, and extreme weather is common. In recent days, the highest temperature is only minus 3 degrees, and it often snows heavily in Boston, and it is common for snow to cross the knees. ."
Li Mu said: "Then you have to take good care of your body and don't freeze."
Su Yingxue nodded and said, "The school is fine, the heating is sufficient, although it's freezing outside, the room temperature in classrooms, dormitories, libraries and other places is in the 20's. No problem."
With that said, Su Yingxue asked Li Mu, "Are you coming to the United States this time to discuss acquisitions with Ford?"
Li Mu smiled slightly: "Ford is on the one hand, and Google is about to go public. Their CEO invited me to go to Nasdaq with him to ring the bell."
Su Yingxue smiled and said, "I read the news about your acquisition of the Ford brand before I came out. The Chinese students in the school were all excited, and some boys shouted your name in the dormitory building, saying that you are special."
Li Mu sneered and said, "It's so good to spend a little money? At least I have to wait until I have revitalized these three half-dead brands."
"It's definitely possible." Su Yingxue said seriously: "I think even if you don't do anything, just use your influence, plus these three brands have been acquired by Huaxia Enterprises and become the status of Huaxia Automobile brands. Sales will definitely increase a lot.”
Li Mu said: "If you just play the national card and take advantage of everyone's love and recognition of their own nation, you will feel a little bit despicable. These brands are half-dead and half-dead for their reasons. In the final analysis, the overall level of the product, especially the price-performance ratio. If I bring them back to China as they are and sell them to my compatriots, even if they are willing to buy them, I will feel sorry for them.”
After speaking, Li Mu said seriously: "The five billion dollars is not to buy a profitable industry, but to buy an opportunity to subvert the industry and become bigger and stronger, so I may not change it for a long time in the future. The operation mode of these three brands is just like ants moving house, moving most of their hardware and software to Huaxia, and then letting them reborn in Huaxia Nirvana,
By that time, I will make them the world's leading car brand. "
Su Yingxue smiled and said, "I believe in you. I believe that it will not be long before these three brands will be reborn in your hands."
Li Mu stopped, looked at Su Yingxue, and asked seriously, "Yingxue, do you like cars?"
Su Yingxue looked at him vigilantly: "Why, aren't you going to send me a car?"
Li Mu smiled and said, "Isn't it possible?"
Su Yingxue shook her head and said with a smile, "I can't use the car now, and I won't go out to school once a week. I can't use it at all."
Li Mu snorted and asked again, "Then let me just ask you, do you like cars?"
Su Yingxue smiled and said, "Then I will answer you simply, I like it, otherwise I won't take the driver's license test with you as soon as the college entrance examination is over."
Li Mu asked him, "What do you think of cars? Or, what do you like about cars?"
Su Yingxue was a little stunned and asked him, "It stands to reason that you should ask me what brand of car I like, or what type of car I like?"
Li Mu smiled and said, "Answer my question first."
Su Yingxue thought for a while and said: "I think a car is not just a commodity, a tool, but also a lot of feelings. It is an extension of ordinary people's speed, the eyes of their legs, and an extension of freedom, and it is also the most concerned about the public. One of the national industries in China, so its energy density is very high, which is the most important thing I like about cars."
Li Mu nodded and said, "Then I suggest that you start from now on to get more knowledge about the auto industry, especially the management of an enterprise like the auto industry where tens of thousands of people are at every turn, and the construction of a sales network all over the world, in addition to the automobile itself. Beyond the industrial level, these two points have a very significant impact on auto companies.”
Su Yingxue said with a smile: "The knowledge here is huge, and it is difficult to master it for ten or twenty years."
Li Mu said, "You have two years."
Su Yingxue asked in surprise: "Two years? What do you mean?"
Li Mu said seriously: "I should complete the acquisition of the three sub-brands of Ford within three months, and then the Makino Automobile Group will be established. The first stage is to move these three brands to Huaxia, and the second stage is to move the three brands to China. Integrate these three brands and their own brands. After the integration, new models will be launched immediately. If it is more than a year, the new car will be tested all over the world even if it is not on the market. When you graduate from college, Makino Automobile Group should Also on the right track.”
Having said that, Li Mu looked at Su Yingxue and said seriously, "I hope you will return to China to join the Muye Automobile Group after graduation."
Seeing that Li Mu was not joking, Su Yingxue nodded almost without thinking, and said, "Then I will hurry up in the past two years to improve myself."
Li Mu asked, "Aren't you curious what position I'm going to give you?"
Su Yingxue smiled and said, "I just listen to your arrangement. I will do whatever you arrange."
Li Mu nodded and said, "When the Muye Automobile Group is established, I will also serve as CEO, but I hope that the position of CEO can be handed over to you in the future."
"This..." Su Yingxue's expression was astonished, and she didn't know how to answer all of a sudden.
Li Mu said with a smile, "Don't doubt, believe me, you are born to be a strong woman. In this case, why should you go to work in a Fortune 500 company in the future? It's better to participate in the birth of a new Fortune 500 company. I believe that in the end, One day, Makino Group will not only become a Fortune 500 company, but also the top of the world's auto industry."
Su Yingxue bit her lip and wanted to say something, but she swallowed the words again.
She wanted to say that she didn't have the ability to be the CEO of an automobile group, but she also felt that since Li Mu had this plan, she couldn't feel that she was not the material at this time anyway, and there will be more time in the future. Yes, if you give yourself enough time, you may not be able to become the kind of strong woman Li Mu wants her to be.
Thinking of this, Su Yingxue said with a very firm expression: "I will definitely do my best, but I have to say it first, if I have this ability, I will definitely take this position, but if I can't reach this level by then , you are not allowed to drive the ducks to the shelves!"
Li Mu nodded and said, "Don't worry, if I think in my heart that you are really not good, I will definitely not force you."
Su Yingxue breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously, "Then it's settled."
As early as when he was about to win the three brands of Ford, Li Mu thought about this issue.
Since it is decided to become an automobile group and make the most of this matter, there must be a person who can be trusted by oneself and who is capable enough.
Su Yingxue has been an executive of a foreign company in her last life. Although she doesn't know what she does and what her working ability is, she is a girl from a small place and can climb up the ranks of the top 500 foreign companies on her own. This proves that She must be very capable.
Since there is such a foundation, it is possible to be a CEO, not to mention that he has control of the overall situation behind him, so the decision-making pressure on Su Yingxue will not be too great.
In Li Mu's view, no one is more suitable for this position than her.
In the future, the Muye Automobile Group will be handed over to Su Yingxue, and the Muye Imaging will be handed over to Chen Wan. Although Wanying Real Estate is not an industry of Muye Technology, it also holds more than 30% of the shares. In the future, all the real estate matters will be handed over to Chen Wan. To Wei Lan.
Chen Wan and Wei Lan's abilities in the culture and entertainment industry and real estate industry have been confirmed. As for Su Yingxue, Li Mu is not in a hurry. He can let her grow slowly, but it is still early.
After negotiating this matter with her, Li Mu felt extremely comfortable.
The two walked on the cold Boston streets. Although it was freezing to the bone, the feeling of walking side by side in a foreign country holding hands was extraordinarily warm.
We had dinner together, and when we came out, there was another goose feather-like snow in the Boston sky.
It was late at night and the temperature was much lower than before.
Li Mu originally wanted to take Su Yingxue directly into the car, but she asked Li Mu expectantly, "It's snowing, do you want to try walking in the snow?"
Li Mu smiled and said, "Okay, but we can't just walk all the way back to the hotel. If I remember correctly, the hotel is quite far from here."
Su Yingxue's cheeks turned slightly red in the cold wind, she nodded shyly to Li Mu and said, "Let's go for twenty minutes!"
