Back to 1995

"Yes!"

"If Governor Adrian enters Capitol Hill, I hope to run for the governorship of Texas. I hope Song can support me!"

Chuck Rhodes looked at Song Yang, and said bluntly that he was afraid that he would lose this opportunity completely by pretending to be reserved in front of Song Yang.

For Chuck Rhodes and his fellow congressmen, if they want to seek a certain position, they need to prepare early. They need to find the endorsement of the big figures of the elephant party, find the support of big money owners, and use the media for public relations. I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to drink a mouthful of hot soup if it wasn't for the soup.

Chuck Rhodes does not have as much ambition as Adrian, and being able to get the governorship of Texas is enough for Chuck Rhodes in the short term. As the head of the state, Chuck Rhodes expects that he will not move again for many years in the future, and is preparing to take root in Texas.

"Chuck, you know, whether it's Adrian or Chuck, the Bruno family will always support you!"

Hearing what Chuck Rhodes said, Song Yang also expressed his stance directly. Hearing that he and Adrian were put together, Chuck Rhodes couldn't help but smile on his face. Song Yang's words meant a lot. It is clear that when Adrian ran for the governor of Texas, the Bruno family donated a lot of dollars to him, and they would also vote for Chuck Rhodes, which also means that Rhodes no longer needs to pay for it. Concerned about campaign finances, his campaign finances and access to media resources may be several times that of his opponents!
Song Yang also hopes that Chuck Rhodes can take over the vacancy left after Adrian left. Texas is Song Yang's old nest, and there is still a "person of his own" who will come to Texas Only the head of the state can make people feel more at ease. If they are targeted by someone in their old nest, then it will really be a big trouble at that time.

After getting the promise from Song Yang, Chuck Rhodes is in a good mood. He is not as good as Adrian, and he is popular with the outside world. He can climb all the way to a high position within a few years. The identity of Adrian's "assistant" exists, even if he becomes the boss of Houston, the outside world still regards him as Adrian's "shadow".

But Chuck Rhodes is more stable than Adrian. What Adrian can get in five years may take him ten years or more, but Chuck Rhodes never Make a mistake, maybe one day, maybe Chuck Rhodes can go further than Adrian!

Anduran, the president of Siebel Automobile, has not stopped calling today. During the meal, Anduran devoured the barbecue.

"Director Bruno, you don't know how many people have called from last night to today, wanting to invest in Siebel Auto!

Sequoia Investment, KPCB Venture Capital, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Merrill Lynch, and General Motors have all sent Siebel Automobile their willingness to invest! "

Anduran gulped down the barbecue, took another gulp of wine, and said to Song Yang, it can be seen that he is in a state of excitement at the moment.

Overnight, just overnight, the Siebel electric car has become a sought-after existence from no one cares about it. Major venture capital firms, Wall Street institutions, and even General Motors, one of the three major American auto giants, have all moved westward. Bell Motors sent an invitation for cooperation.

Anduran also knows that these companies may not be really optimistic about electric vehicles, and many of them want to gain popularity, just like the cooperation invitation sent by General Electric. Even if he killed Anduran, he would not believe that General Motors would suddenly switch to electric vehicles. Nine out of ten, I still want to take advantage of the popularity of electric vehicles to boost the stock price of General Electric!
But so what, in this world, only those with useful value will be remembered by others, and if they are not profitable, no one will pay attention to them at all.

Those venture capital companies and General Motors want to take advantage of the popularity of Siebel electric vehicles. Similarly, Siebel Motors also cares about the real money in their hands, and everyone takes what they need!

"General Motors?!"

Song Yang couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, "General Motors wants to cooperate, and Siebel Auto has no reason to refuse. Maybe the first batch of Siebel cars in the future may use GM's production line..."

General Motors wants to take advantage, but it's hard to say who will take advantage of whom. For Siebel Motors, there are now only a few brands and the name of a pioneer in electric vehicles. There is nothing else.

On the other hand, General Motors has a lot of good things, not to mention a lot of car brands. As the oldest car manufacturer in the world, its car technology and patents are also the top in the world. With the technology of General Motors, Siebel Motors will make a lot of money.

Seeing that Song Yang seemed to be in a good mood, Anduran took the opportunity to say, "Director Bruno, this time, do you want to accept a new round of investment from those companies in Siebel Automobile?!"

In the traditional automobile industry, Siebel Automobile can only be regarded as an outlier, and is not seen by traditional automobiles at all. But in the technology industry, Siebel Automobile is from a "famous family". There is also the joining of Mark Anderson. This lineup is located in Silicon Valley, which is quite luxurious.

However, even with Song Yang's investment in Xibel Automobile, life is still a bit tight. It is too expensive to develop a car. Now Xibel Automobile, except for a large lizard T1 sports car that acts as a facade, only There are no other models. No one knows how far it is from the development of the first electric car. If it can attract a large wave of investment like Apollo Space Company, then it will be for Siebel Automobile, or For Anduran, life is definitely much easier.

"There is a bet of the century between Siebel Motors and Chrysler Motors. Within ten years, Siebel Motors' revenue will surpass Chrysler Motors!"

Anduran reminded Song Yang that at the celebratory banquet for the Mavericks assuming the leadership, Song Yang and Tom Stockamp, ​​the president of Chrysler, had a gamble of the century with a bet of over [-] million US dollars. Song Yang Threatening to make Siebel Motors surpass Chrysler Motors in revenue within ten years, and the loser will donate [-] million dollars to American charities. This bet is the largest bet in the history of the auto industry. I don't know how many fun people are waiting to see the fun of Siebel Motors and Chrysler.

The $[-] million bet doesn't matter how much it is. With Song Yang's worth, losing this bet will not hurt his muscles or bones. The key is Song Yang's face. For Song Yang, it was definitely a disgrace, and it also broke the technological myths surrounding Song Yang. It was also a huge loss for Siebel Automobile. When people mentioned Siebel Automobile in the future, it made people feel inferior to Chrysler. car!
Listening to An Dulan's words, Song Yang showed a strange smile on his face, which made An Dulan panic inexplicably, "Do you think Xibel Automobile will lose?!"

"I……"

After An Dulan spoke, he paused again. Not only was An Dulan a little worried that Siebel would lose, the professionals in the auto industry and the media were all sure that Siebel would fail miserably.

In fact, no matter how you look at it, Siebel cannot catch up with Chrysler-Daimler Automobile Alliance, which has an annual revenue of more than [-] billion dollars. Chrysler's revenue is more than a hundred times that of Siebel. If Siebel does not catch up now , Anduran felt that there was no hope of winning at all, even after ten years.

"Sometimes, to defeat a powerful opponent, you don't need to punch too hard, maybe it will fall by itself!
Perhaps, the competition between Chrysler Motors and Siebel Motors may not be the same as the competition between Mao Xiong and America, maybe! "

Song Yang said this in a joking tone, but in Anduran's ears, it felt absurd. He could hear Song Yang's meaning. It doesn't need the Siebel car to be so powerful. Someday Chrysler The car just lay down on its own!

But how is this possible? After so many years, the three major American automobile groups, General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler, have experienced difficulties, but they have never fallen. It is estimated that they are both taller than two people. It is too outrageous to expect Chrysler to lie in the coffin and nail itself.
