After ten hours of flying, in the morning of American time, Li Mu had only two hours of flight from Dearborn. The estimated landing time of the plane was 11 am local time.

When Li Mu arrived, the plane took off in Yanjing at 10 am Yanjing time.

The embarrassment of transoceanic flight is that at what time did you take off from Huaxia, when you landed it was the local time.

If traveling in ordinary economy class, a 12 to 13-hour flight is enough to make people fall apart. Because the economy class is relatively crowded and it is difficult to get a good rest, most people are not only tired but even clothes after getting off the plane. Wrinkled and dirty, and plagued by jet lag, it didn't take much time for two or three days.

However, when executives of the world's top 500 companies go overseas for business, they can often put on straight suits and immediately jump into work immediately after the plane landed. The reason is that even if they are not in private jets , At least a first-class cabin that can lie down and sleep all the way.

Li Mu also slept all the way and took a shower in the bathroom before landing. At this time, it was the morning of American time. He felt no different from the morning in Huaxia. The whole person was full of energy and was not tired.

Chen Ze slept soundly all the way, put on noise-cancelling headphones, even the aircraft's engine sound can not be heard, coupled with the smooth flight of the aircraft, almost no bumps.

When the flight attendant served breakfast for everyone, the captain said in the cabin broadcast: "Mr. Li, Mr. Chen, we have two more hours to land at Detroit International Airport."

"Detroit?" Chen Ze, who was preparing for breakfast, looked at Li Mu in surprise, and asked, "Lao Li, didn't you say what Dearborn was going for? Why did Detroit go?"

Li Mu said, "Dearborn is the satellite city of Detroit, you can understand it is a district of Detroit."

"That's it." Chen Ze nodded and said excitedly, "Detroit is a good place, the cradle of the American automobile industry, how do you think of it and pull me to Detroit?"

Li Mu laughed: "Guess what."

Chen Zetuo pondered for a moment and said, "It can't be such a boring thing to buy a car."

After saying that, I thought about it again and said, "I ca n’t just come here for fun? I wo n’t say how busy I am. You are much busier than me, and time is more precious than me. I definitely wo n’t come over to play. . "

Immediately, Chen Ze looked at Li Mu and said, "I really can't guess."

Li Mu said: "You persist for two hours, you will know after landing."

Seeing that Li Mu was deliberately trying to sell Guanzi without revealing the mystery in advance, Chen Ze had to give up side by side.

But he was wondering, what did Li Mu do in Detroit? He is engaged in the Internet and high-tech industries. When he came to the United States, he was usually in Silicon Valley. He went to New York to engage in capital matters. Old industrial cities like Detroit have nothing but industry, and they have declined a lot in recent years. There is no difference in Northeast China, can't Li Mu always come here to do business?

What's more, besides buying and selling cars, what else can you do?

Thinking of this, Chen Ze was shocked. Good guy, should n’t Li Mu talk to GM or talk to Ford? Are you going to be their distributor? There are still many models of GM and Ford that are not listed in China, and the sales network is not very large. If you are optimistic about the future development of American cars in China, there is still a lot to do in advance.

For example, a Mercedes-Benz registered dealer in Hong Kong has a huge stall and has a great influence. It can already affect Mercedes itself in the opposite direction.

Li Mu had previously targeted Maserati, who was preparing to enter the Huaxia market. Now Maserati's domestic distribution is in his own hands, but Maserati is a niche, after all, it is not easy to think of it at once, and the brand positioning is high, so It's not easy to do sales.

However, most American cars are more popular family cars with low prices and high sales. Like Buick, it has been selling well in China. If Li Mu can really get one or two brand agents from GM or Ford, even It is just a North China agent, and it is also a very big deal.

Chen Ze had basically determined his guess at this time, and his heart was instantly agitated.

If this matter can be solved, then in the future, we can also fight for some automotive resources, which will not only bring profits, but also bring benefits to the entire circuit and the team.

...

At 10.50 am, the Gulfstream G550 landed smoothly at Detroit International Airport.

The plane drove to the business aircraft hangar, and then Li Mu, Chen Ze, and Li Ziwei and Wang Yuanlang all got off the plane together.

The shuttle bus from the airport took them to the customs. After completing the immigration procedures, the crowd just came out of the customs and saw Elon Musk waiting here.

Li Mu introduced Elon Musk to Chen Ze, but the famous Silicon Valley Iron Man in later generations was not so famous at this time, and Chen Ze knew nothing about him.

After introducing the two, Li Mucai told Chen Ze: "I and Elon invested in a new energy vehicle company, which is still in the product development stage."

Chen Ze asked curiously: "New energy vehicles? What do you mean?"

Li Mu said: "It's an electric car, driven by pure electricity."

Chen Ze said with disapproval: "What's so interesting about electric cars? Can they be compared with gasoline cars?"

Li Mu laughed: "Then you have to look at it."

"Better than power!" Chen Ze asked, "Can you compare?"

Li Mu thought about it and said, "If it is a mass-produced car, the maximum power should be above 600 horsepower."

"Blow!" Chen Ze said with a lip, "600 electric cars? Nuclear power?"

Li Mu laughed: "Nuclear power will not come, lithium power."

Chen Ze wondered: "lithium battery?"

"Yes," said Li Mu. "Using lithium batteries as the power, not only the power is strong, but the acceleration is fast. The 100-km acceleration of mass production of high-end vehicles in the future should be within 4 seconds."

Chen Ze's tongue was dumb, and he couldn't help asking: "How far can a car like this run with full power?"

Li Mu said, "Let's go about four hundred kilometers, and drive normally."

"Is it so powerful?" Chen Ze was even more surprised.

Li Mu laughed: "It won't be long before you know."

Then, he turned his head and asked Elon Musk: "What time is it with Ford?"

"It's half past three in the afternoon," Elon Musk said. "Let's go to the hotel for dinner first, and by the way introduce you to my team members, and then have a meeting in your presidential suite meeting room to communicate the situation."

Li Mu said aloud, remembering the usual urine of the U.S. commerce department, could not help but ask: "If I negotiate the details of the cooperation with Ford, will the U.S. commerce department come out to block?"

The U.S. business department often has some riotous operations, such as forcing a large company into several companies at every turn. It is known as antitrust; it also often interferes with the acquisition and acquisition of companies, either to die or not to sell, or to Life and death are not allowed to buy, anyway, it is bad.

Elon Musk said seriously: "The project we are talking about should not interfere with the U.S. commercial sector, and they have basically no restrictions on the civilian automobile industry."

Li Mu nodded and said, "I will go to New York in a few days. On the day of Google's listing, I will attend their bell ringing event. This time with Ford, we need to get it done as soon as possible."

"it is good!"

Chen Ze wondered aside and asked Li Mu: "You just told that Musk that you want to talk to Ford about cooperation?"

"Yes," Li Mu nodded. "Dearborn is Ford's base camp. Their head office is here, and several Ford's own production lines are also here."

Chen Ze was pleasantly surprised: "Ford's classic f150 should be produced in Detroit."

Immediately, Li Mu's mind emerged as a huge pickup. This car only entered Huaxia through parallel imports for several years. However, there is no pickup culture in Huaxia. When this thing goes, it is directly classified into the truck sequence. Words, reflective stickers on the back of the car, and many cities do not allow pickups to enter the urban area, so it has not caught fire.

For Li Mu, he didn't like the huge pickup, he always felt it was too big, and it was too wasteful. The urban area started with more than 20 kilometers of oil, which is really not suitable for domestic urban residents.

Chen Ze said, "I got an F150 in the past two years and drove to Sichuan and Tibet. The car was still very powerful and sold well in the United States."

Li Mu said with a smile: "Let's just get it to sell in China."

Chen Ze waved his hand: "The car is a good car, but when it comes to China, it won't be convinced."

Li Mu asked him, "What do you think is more appropriate if we want to get something out of Ford?"

Chen Ze thought about it, and said seriously: "Land Rover! Classic off-road vehicle, which just entered the Huaxia market last year, and has not yet developed ~ www.novelbuddy.com ~ But the car is really okay. "Although not as skinny as Toyota Luguan, the British design is still more luxurious and a lot higher-profile than Luguan."

Li Mu nodded thoughtfully, saying, "What you said makes sense, then we'd better talk to Ford about Land Rover's cooperation."

Chen Ze said subconsciously: "They now seem to be doing the Huaxia market themselves. If we can get a regional agent, we still do it."

Li Mu nodded slightly, not condemning.

Although he didn't say anything on the face, Li Mu couldn't help but despise Chen Ze.

Take an agent? Are you Chen Ze so successful? Can't we buy Land Rover back?

And we're not only buying Land Rover, but Jaguar and Volvo.

After two or three years, the Range Rover and Guardian will be made in China.

Out of the airport, everyone boarded a business car arranged by Elon Musk and went straight to a star hotel in Dearborn.

Dearborn is almost Ford's own small city, where Ford logos and advertisements can be seen everywhere.

At the hotel, Li Mu met with Elon Musk's team. Everyone sat down at the large long table in the banquet hall. Elon Musk said to Li Mu, "General Manager Li, let me introduce you to our acquisition team. a member of."

Chen Ze, aside, asked in surprise: "acquisition? What?

Elon Musk smiled slightly and asked, "Mr. Chen doesn't know?"

Chen Ze shook his head aggressively.

Elon Musk looked at Li Mu, nodded with a smile, and said to Chen Ze: "We are negotiating with Ford and want to acquire Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo from them.

Chen Ze, like a lightning strike, took a long time to return to God and murmured: "What international joke do you guys play ..."
