Three days passed in a flash, and the U.S. Department of Defense is about to launch its second round of tenders. The theme of the tender will be entered this time, and the Ministry of National Defense will put forward specific requirements for the performance of military vehicles.

Historically, as early as 1978, the U.S. military put forward specific requirements for the performance of a new generation of military vehicles, for some special reasons. It has not been realized, which is also the direct reason for all the replacement of military vehicles.

At this time, more than 10 auto manufacturers came to the Ministry of Defense. After all, it involves the procurement of more than 300,000 military vehicles, and no manufacturer does not want to take a share of the pie.

Key Defense Department officials were in attendance, including Defense Secretary Kasper Weinberger. The host is still Ian Wright, which is also Weinberg's intention to cultivate him.

Lieutenant General Ian Wright is wearing a neat uniform, and his masculine charm is undoubtedly revealed. Looking at Bao Zixuan, his eyes were hot, did he also dress up himself. But a soldier is not just a suit of clothes, it is mainly temperament. Although the richest man Bao knew this, there was still some unwillingness in his heart.

Everyone was looking at Ian Wright, wondering what the relatively young general had to say.

Ian Wright: "We welcome everyone to participate in the tender for the Department of Defense military vehicle order, and thank you for your strong support to the US military."

"Entering the second round means that you have written off the companies related to tax avoidance islands, although you believe in everyone's integrity. I still have to say the ugly things ahead. That company who dares to violate the law will be subject to the most severe sanctions by the Ministry of Defense."

"Not only will this bid be disqualified, but I will not be able to participate in any future tenders related to the Ministry of Defense."

This punishment can be described as severe, at least for the first time in the history of US arms purchases. Before coming here, all the representatives of the manufacturers felt that the Ministry of Defense might introduce severe measures, but they did not expect to kill them with one stick.

Ian Wright finished speaking, a gesture. The American female soldier took the agreement and asked the manufacturer's representative to sign it, which made many people start to sweat. After all, I took things for granted before, but I didn't expect the military to be so ruthless.

The agreement requires not only that the winning company cannot register a company in a tax haven island; as long as it participates in this tender, even the company that does not win the bid; it cannot register a company in the Cayman Islands or other places.

Isn't the Ministry of National Defense being too lenient? Isn't this blocking everyone's back roads!

Many small and medium-sized enterprises are hesitant to measure whether it is worth it. This time, the Ministry of Defense killed them all by surprise, and it was really difficult to make a choice for a while.

A small car company owner said directly: "General Ian Wright, if we don't win the bid, what if we want to continue to use the company in the Cayman Islands."

Seeing someone come out first, everyone is waiting for an answer from the Ministry of Defense. This is an act of public challenge. Some things can be done, but they must not be said face-to-face. That's a blatant challenge to the government; mainly the tax department, of course. But the U.S. Department of Taxation is a more terrifying existence than the Department of Defense, and all the manufacturers' representatives sweated for this warrior.

After formulating the policy, the top officials of the Ministry of Defense also felt that the management was too broad. Tax avoidance is the responsibility of the Ministry of Taxation. The main task of the military is to maintain national security and protect people's lives and property.

But some decisions were imposed by the Presidential Palace, and they just acted on orders.

Ian Wright: "If you dare to violate the terms of the agreement, you will pay a fine of $100 million."

"But the agreement has not been signed yet, you can go back. That is to say, you can leave now, and the Ministry of Defense will not impose any restrictions on the companies that leave."

It is impossible to kill a person with a single stick, which could easily bring about a chain reaction. The auto companies themselves are not weak, and the Ministry of Defense cannot do anything.

When I heard that I could leave, I was a company that came to make soy sauce before, and I suddenly felt hopeful. They looked at each other, and the person who had just asked the question stood up first.

It is much easier for someone to take the lead, and representatives of several small and medium-sized car companies left the conference room one after another. The military vehicle order has nothing to do with them, but they dare not hold on here.

At this time, the conference room of the Ministry of Defense, except for the military representatives. There are only five companies left: Black Cloud Motors, General Motors, Chrysler, Ford Motor, and Mark Motors.

This is unexpected, but it is also reasonable. Small and medium-sized car companies are originally designed to accompany the bid. Under such harsh conditions, not everyone dares to continue to play.

For a few million dollars in profit, a fine of 100 million dollars is required. No one dares to take this risk and will not take it.

Heiyun Motor and Ford Motor have nothing to do with tax avoidance islands, and the punishment has no effect on them at all. General Motors is bound to win the order for this military vehicle. And as long as there is no accident, most of the orders for military vehicles will definitely be handed over to them.

Mark Trucks is still very confident that it can win orders for military trucks. At least it has a good foundation for cooperation with the US military, and it is not a big problem to get the order.

Chrysler didn't want to admit defeat, and couldn't afford to lose. Heiyun Automobile developed by acquiring Jeep and Dodgers, and the two brands have become even more brilliant after they are in the hands of Bao Zixuan. At this time, everyone thought that Chrysler's management ability and technical strength were not good, otherwise how could there be such a big gap.

The acquisition money paid by the Black Cloud Group to Chrysler has been divided up by the board of directors and there is not much left. It can be said that Chrysler does not have much funds at present, and the military order can be regarded as a life-saving straw.

And I don't want to admit defeat in front of Heiyun Auto and Bao Zixuan, if Heiyun Auto gets an order from the military. Chrysler did not even get Mao and Mao, so what awaits them is not just criticism from the public and the media; it will also affect the confidence of customers, consumers, and corporate employees.

At the moment, Chrysler dealers have had great opinions on the company, and the remaining dealers are beginning to regret it. Why is there no agent for Heiyun Auto, and most of them have already begun to look for relationships.

At this time, he lost to Heiyun in the military vehicle bidding, which means that Chrysler is indeed inferior to Heiyun. Seeing this, the Chrysler CEO dared not leave.

As for Chrysler employees, they have a lot of opinions on the company's management. With so much money, I don't want to think about developing new cars, updating equipment, and increasing workers' benefits. Instead, it is surprising that such a company can develop by getting dividends from the board of directors.

Next door is the Heiyun Automobile Factory, which used to be about the same salary as them. But now the salary in hand every month is almost three times that of them. There is no harm without comparison, and many Chrysler employees want to leave quickly. If you can join Heiyun Automobile, there is really nothing to miss about Chrysler.

After Bao Zixuan took over the agreement, he glanced at it and signed his name. Although the agreement is very harsh, it not only restricts the present, but also restricts the future of the enterprise. However, it is mainly aimed at the issue of tax avoidance islands, and the richest man has never thought about this.

Once reborn, if you make money by tax avoidance, tax evasion, and tax evasion, it would be too embarrassing.

Seeing Bao Zixuan's signature, the other four also signed their names. At this time, I dare not show weakness, let alone be looked down upon by an outsider.

Henry Ford II signed with a smile and said: "Ford never thought about making a fuss about taxes, it is against family tradition. It is a disgrace to the Ford family to sign this agreement, but In order to show my sincerity, I still signed my name on the agreement~www.mtlnovel.com~ But this can serve as a good warning to future generations, and let the young people of the family know where the roots of Ford are."

MacDonald began to regret working with Ford, the old guy was too cunning. And I can brush the sense of existence all the time, I really have no advantage in front of others.

Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberg said with a smile: "Ford is worthy of the icon of the American auto industry. When I was young, my biggest dream was to own a Ford. Although this goal has already been achieved, today I heard Ford again. Only after a few words can you understand why Ford is so popular with the people."

As a referee, I shouldn't have made a statement at this time. What does Weinberg mean? You must know that he is one of the final arbiters of the military vehicle order, and which one is the most important.

It stands to reason that Weinberg, who was a lawyer, should not have made such a low-level mistake. It seems that the meaning inside is extraordinary.

At this time, the harsh agreements have been signed, and there is no turning back for several companies. We can only do our best to win and get orders for military vehicles. As for Secretary of Defense Weinberg's words, it can only be left behind.
