Back in Detroit, how to reject Wells Fargo and United Community Bank was lost to Rosemary by Chen Geng, who plunged headlong into the development of a new generation of US military HMMV military vehicles.

The reply from the U.S. Department of Defense to Fernandez has come down, to put it simply, the Department of Defense welcomes any capable vehicle development enterprise to enter the research and development of a new generation of high-mobility multi-purpose wheeled vehicles in the U.S. military, as long as the performance of the new generation of high-mobility multi-purpose wheeled vehicles developed by Fernandez can meet and meet the standards given by the Department of Defense, the Department of Defense will select the best - If Fernandez's products are the only ones that meet the requirements, Fernández will become the designated manufacturer of a new generation of HMMVs for the U.S. military......

"Boss, does the Ministry of Defense mean that we have the opportunity to become a supplier of a new generation of light military vehicles for the U.S. Army?" Bob asked with excitement after reading the reply letter from the Department of Defense letter by letter.

Although Anderson didn't speak, his blushing face with excitement clearly showed his thoughts: becoming a manufacturer and supplier of a new generation of military vehicles for the U.S. Army is a big business!

"Theoretically, yes. ”

"Great!" Bob waved his fist twice excitedly: "As long as we get this deal, Fernandez will have a firm foothold in the American auto market." ”

"Don't be happy so early," compared to Bob, Anderson, who has been in charge of the modification department and the "devil's claws" for a long time, shook his head and said cautiously: "Let's not talk about whether our products can meet the requirements of the Ministry of Defense, even if we successfully develop products that meet the requirements of the Ministry of Defense, are giants such as Ford, General Motors, and AMC vegetarians?"

Speaking of this, Anderson looked at Chen Geng, a little worried: "Boss, the giants of Chrysler, Ford, AMC and GM are not kind guys, I'm a little worried......"

Anderson stopped talking.

What is Anderson worried about?

I am worried that even if Fernandez develops a product that meets the requirements of the Ministry of Defense, it will eventually be snatched away by these giants.

As soon as Anderson's words came out, even Bob stopped talking, and looked at his boss with the same worried face.

The rise of the four major automobile giants in the United States is itself a process of continuous plunder, and as a member of the capitalist countries, who does not know this? Even if we really develop a high-mobility multi-purpose wheeled vehicle that meets the requirements of the Department of Defense, will we be able to hold it?

Yes, his boss has a good personal relationship with Mr. Henry Ford, but even if Ford does not do anything to Fernandez in order to cooperate with his boss in the future, who can guarantee that the other three companies will not fight Fernandez's HMMV idea?

"You guys......"

Chen Geng smiled and shook his head: "I understand what you mean, but you think too seriously about the problem." ”

Well?

"First of all, we don't have a wealth of experience in the development of government vehicles like AM General, nor do we have the experience of developing and using active light vehicles in the U.S. military like Ford Motor, so we don't have any experience in the development of military vehicles at all, whether we can develop a car that meets the requirements of the Ministry of Defense is a question mark, right?"

Bob and Anderson thought for a moment and nodded.

But Anderson thought more, and he corrected seriously: "But although we don't have experience in developing military vehicles, I don't think it's a big problem." ”

"Oh?"

As soon as Anderson said this, Chen Geng and Bob were a little curious.

"Although we at Fernandez don't have any experience in developing military vehicles, we have a large number of veterans who have served in the U.S. military, and they are veterans who have fought on the battlefield for several years," Anderson said. ”

Chen Geng patted his head: Why did I forget this?

Yes, even if Chen Geng knows the technical details of the Humvee well, the suggestions of these veterans who have returned from a hundred battles in Vietnam are still of great value to Fernandez in the development of a new generation of high-mobility multi-purpose wheeled vehicles, and what they bring is a proposal that truly meets the requirements of front-line operations.

Chen Geng immediately nodded: "OK, go back and let Statham and Lalefort bring a few people over to be our development consultants...... Okay, that's in the past, and the second point, let me ask you, if our product is selected in the end and the Ministry of Defense finally chooses us, how much is the value of this business?"

How big is it?

Bob thought for a while and said: "The number of M151s in service in the U.S. military is about more than 70,000 units, even if all of them are replaced, that is, the order of more than 70,000 units ......"

"We count him 80,000 vehicles," Chen Geng said, "and if he counts $20,000 per car, that's a $1.6 billion business at best, but how much money did we make for Chrysler's Family, Beast and Victoria Crown for Ford? ”

That's right!

Anderson and Bob finally reacted, yes, in terms of size, influence in political and military circles, Fernandez is certainly incomparable with Ford Motors, Chrysler Motors, General Motors, AMC Motors, and even Kenworth, Oshkosh, the main suppliers of active vehicles in the US military, but the problem is that Fernandez is not an object that others can knead casually.

Just look at the hot scene of Chrysler's "family" and Ford Victoria Crown, it is no good to offend Fernandez and your boss - that's right, you are strong, I can't do anything to you directly, but you bullied me, I won't cooperate with you in the future, I will enhance the product power of your competitors, and then we will see who suffers more! If you make it impossible for me to do this business now, I will be able to reduce your market share by several percentage points in the future, and then see who loses more.

Will AMC and GM dare to ignore this threat?

How can it be!

Even if they didn't think about it for a while, when they threatened to sell Fernandez's products to them "friendly", they could have "kindly" reminded them.

Realizing this, both Anderson and Bob had smiles on their faces.

"The third point is also the point I really care about," Chen Geng raised a finger: "For this competition, my real attitude is: if you can achieve well, as long as you are shortlisted." ”

What do you mean?

In the end, can the order of the Ministry of Defense for this new generation of high-mobility multi-purpose wheeled vehicles fall on our heads, you don't care at all?

How can this work?!

Even if you are the boss, do you know how much effort we put into this car?

Anderson and Bob were in a hurry.

But before the two of them could speak, Chen Geng waved his hand: "In fact, what I really value is to take the opportunity of a new generation of high-mobility multi-purpose wheeled vehicles approved by the Ministry of National Defense to officially enter the civilian vehicle market." ”

Anderson: "......"

Bob: "......"

The two of them looked confused at the same time, and they didn't understand what their boss was talking about.

"Think about the upgrading of any piece of equipment in the U.S. military, think about it, in the end, which products can be selected by the military that can benefit the most, or products that perform well in the selection process but are ultimately defeated?"

Needless to say, Anderson and Bob's eyes lit up: they instantly realized what their boss was trying to say.

In the capitalist country of the United States, even the procurement of military equipment strictly follows the entire law of capitalism: the equipment purchased for soldiers must not be the best, but the cheapest on the premise of meeting the minimum requirements for performance and indicators.

The most reliable companion of the soldiers: the guns, is so, and the same is true of the military boots that are silently paid for the soldiers.

In the procurement of every type of military equipment, the one that finally succeeds in becoming the main equipment of the US military must not be the one with the best performance and the best performance when participating in the selection, but the one with the most mediocre performance, the lowest performance that meets the lowest limit of the Ministry of National Defense's requirements, and the cheapest price.

The U.S. military has even taken the "slamming the door" to the extreme: allowing fighters to purchase their own equipment.

Pistol, this thing that countless military fans in China ridicule as our army's stinginess and does not pay attention to the personal equipment of soldiers, and when criticizing it, they repeatedly use "the US military even allows soldiers to buy their own pistols" to make a block for their arguments, they will not know that the reason why American GIs purchase M1911 at their own expense is entirely because the power of the M9 provided by the military is insufficient - if the power of the M9 is enough, fools will pay for it themselves!
