Chapter 254 Toyota's concern
"Akio, did you gain anything from attending the banquet today? You are alone in the United States, and your Grandpa Eiji and I are very concerned about you. We want you to be able to develop on your own, but we are also worried..."
"Dad, it's okay, I'm fine! Although there are some difficulties at work, it doesn't bother me!"
At night, in a small apartment on Eighth Street in Manhattan, Akio Toyoda held up the phone. Faced with the same question, even though his tone was equally relaxed and dull, compared with answering this question at the banquet, Akio Toyoda at this time
The man's face is obviously more sad.
Without revealing his identity, he is an ordinary Asian young man who cannot live a normal life in the United States. In fact, even if he reveals his identity as the future heir of Toyota Motor, it will not cause too much trouble.
Lots of changes.
Today's Toyota is not one of the world's top three car companies in the automotive field in the future. It's true that Americans want Japanese cars, but the pride in their bones still makes them see in their eyes that they only use Ford, General Motors...
Only Ford and General Motors are the leaders in the world's automobiles! Well... at most, Germany's Daimler-Benz is also included. As for Japanese cars...
It’s the same as Carter’s ht. It’s difficult now, so I’ll try to get a bargain and save money. When I’m rich in the future, I’ll leave this thing alone~
"Dad, please don't worry, you and Grandpa Eiji, I will definitely be able to make some achievements!"
When talking about "making achievements", Akio Toyoda's mind naturally came to the company he was most optimistic about: ht! This company is like a shit-stirring company that suddenly appeared, even if it appears
It seems abrupt and very mature, but Akio Toyoda is very convinced that this company still has great potential!
Even if it becomes what it is today and has already gone through financing, but at this time, or has been involved recently, I am still in the position of an early investor. Even if I miss the vture capital and venture capital stage with the largest investment returns, I can still do it.
Get rich rewards from it.
"Speaking of the harvest at the banquet, Dad, I really have some ideas..."
"Oh? Really? Tell dad!"
In the office building of the headquarters of Toyota Motor Corporation in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, Shoichiro Toyoda waved his hand to the assistant in front of him, signaling the other person to finish the work report. After going out first, he turned his chair and faced the window, looking at the bright midday sun outside the window.
He asked with interest in the city view.
"Okay, here's the situation..."
After Toyoda Akio relayed the news he heard from Sanriro to his father, he only heard him continue to add:
"Dad, I think this is a good opportunity for Toyota! It's been difficult for us to open up the U.S. market. Tariffs have blocked the price of our cars in the U.S., so we will move the factory directly to the U.S.
Just produce it locally and sell it locally!”
"Moreover, opening a factory in Georgia will make transportation costs and raw material procurement more convenient compared to our factory in Brazil. In addition, Georgia also has the largest deep-water port on the east coast of the United States, the Port of Savannah.
.The Georgia plant can also become a springboard for our Toyota to enter the European market!"
"Well...Akio, what you said makes sense. If the facts are as you said, and Georgia can provide us with almost unlimited free land and cheap workers, this is indeed a good choice.
.But just like the concerns you mentioned about Mr. Murakami, I am also very worried about such a thing. Don’t you think it’s a bit too...too funny and too ridiculous for a young boy to talk about it?
?Authenticity, how do you guarantee it?”
Thinking about his son's words, Shoichiro Toyoda, then executive vice president of Toyota Motor Corporation, shook his seat and thought. Although the objective conditions are favorable, if there are problems at the subjective execution level, this matter is still a bit unreliable.
Furthermore, the implications of this matter are not small. As of now, Toyota only has a car sales company in the United States. To put it bluntly, although they sell their own products, the current Toyota car sales company is more like a middleman.
A second-rate dealer. After all, on the surface, these are completely two companies.
One is only responsible for production, and the other is only responsible for sales. If you let a car sales company come in, it will not affect the overall situation, so it is easy to enter. But if your production department is also brought in, the impact on the U.S. auto market...
"No, this is what I want to tell you! Sanrilang is worried that the guy named Carter Black is unreliable. I understand, but I want to say that I know much more about him than Sanrilang!
On the contrary, I think this is an opportunity! When everyone thinks that he and this project are unreliable,
We will have no rivals to compete with us. In this way, as the only partner, Toyota can negotiate a treaty that is more beneficial to us in the cooperation. In fact, I knew that person long before I heard the news, and also
Paying attention to him, or in other words, paying attention to his companies..."
"Cheating Kangxi"
"Oh? To be able to catch your eye, I must be quite strong, but I remember that there doesn't seem to be any big company in the United States whose helmsman is named Black."
His son's words aroused the interest of Shoichiro Toyoda. Akio Toyoda, who has lived a good life since childhood, has naturally been raised to be smart. It is hard to say whether the profit of an ordinary company in one year can match his various expenses every year.
Well, it is almost impossible to gain his attention or favor.
"I'm not talking about his background, Dad! His current company is not that big. Although I haven't seen the whole picture, I am sure that his company is not on the same level as our Toyota. But this is also his personal
Isn’t it a reflection of ability and value?”
Akio Toyoda's words were full of praise, and his admiration for Carter was even more expressive:
"He currently owns a catering company, which is not large. But the business model is extremely mature, and he has a sharp vision and aggressive moves! The result of my observation is..."
"Dad, look, although this ht company is still a small company, I believe that if it continues to develop at this momentum, it will be no problem for them to go public in a few years! After entering the capital market, they will obtain a large amount of financing and further accelerate their expansion.
.This future is the next McDonald’s! And how long did it take him to build such a giant fast food company? How old is he?!”
"We cannot look at such a character through normal people's eyes. He is not a normal 17-year-old high school student at all! We cannot think that the other person is unreliable because of this. It is even the opposite. I think this is his fault.
The most valuable point is that he has such courage and ability at the age of 17, so what will he look like in a few years?"
"Even if we invest in this person, I think we should participate in this project! Even if it's just to talk and get in touch. Maybe in the future..."
"Akio, I reserve my opinion on what you said before. Before the facts come out, I can't accuse you of being wrong or having problems with your ideas. But with just a few words, you want me to want you, Grandpa Ying'er.
It would be in vain to finalize the Zuojia factory project. However, you are right later. No matter what, since he has shown his ability and value, there is no harm in getting in touch with him in advance..."
Shoichiro Toyoda's seat had unknowingly turned back to face the desk, and Carter Black's name suddenly appeared on the notebook in front of him:
"Let's do this. I'll communicate with your Grandpa Yingji this afternoon. Then I'll send people from the sales company to Zuojia for an on-site inspection, and by the way, I'll get in touch with Mr. Black, who you recommended to us."
"Okay, but dad, I want to go too!"
