"By the way, what you just said is that you plan to import vans to China and then open a hotel in China, right?"

Just as he was thinking about the issue of the automobile union, Carter suddenly heard this sentence...

"Yes, I'm in China now! I came here with that Carter."

"That Carter? Jimmy Carter?"

Akio Toyoda was shocked when he heard this, and then felt a burst of ecstasy. He lifted up the thin blanket covering his body and stood beside the bed excitedly...

"Okay! Okay! Okay! Great! What a coincidence!

What a coincidence!

"

"What's wrong? Is this a coincidence? Well, it seems to be a bit of a coincidence. I didn't expect that I would become Carter's creditor..."

Carter took the initiative and once again misunderstood what Toyoda wanted to express.

In cross-industry conversations, this kind of misunderstanding often occurs. Carter still thinks that the other party is marveling that he can actually get on the line with Jimmy Carter, but he doesn't want to...

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant! Yes, Mr. Woodcock, you know? Leonard Woodcock!"

"I don't know, who is this?"

"The current ambassador to China! But this is not important. What is important is that from 1970 to 1977, Mr. Woodcock served as the chairman of the Automobile Workers Union for 7 years! And if you know Jimmy Carter, then

It would be even easier! He left the union and switched to diplomatic work, which was promoted by Jimmy Carter. In the words of us Asians, this is called the grace of knowing someone!"

"If Mr. Carter is willing to help you introduce it, you can contact Mr. Woodcock, and then..."

"Then combined with my local influence, not to mention preventing the entry of the automobile union, at least we have to take the initiative in the union of Toyota's Georgia plant! Having the right to speak will reduce the impact of the union on production.

Go to the bottom!"

Woodcock is taking the high-level route, but his influence in the local area means that he is taking the grassroots route.

To put it simply, contact the union leaders at the UAW headquarters in Detroit through Woodcock, and ask them to give up their supervision of the union forces in the left Georgia area through interest exchange or other forms, or in other words, let them acquiesce in their takeover.

This part of the power. For example, let yourself become the chairman of the UAW Left Georgia Chapter...

In southern states with a weak union base, the number of unionized workers accounts for less than 4% of the total number of workers. For the auto union, this is undoubtedly an area waiting to be developed like a backwater...

For this tasteless, abandoned and worthless area. If someone can show that they are willing to take over this site, and I will give your union more "enshrinements" than before...

Carter feels that the top management of the UAW is likely to agree to this, which is similar to an arranged cooperation plan. Outsource the leadership of the union in the Georgia region, and then...

"That's right! That's it, and I can only ask you to do this! I am Japanese, and it is impossible for the UAW to allow me, a Japanese, to occupy a leadership position, but you are different..."

While Akio Toyoda was excited, he was also rapidly evaluating the feasibility of cooperation with Carter.

Toyota funded Carter to join the Automobile Workers Union, and even pushed him to become the leader of the Left Georgia branch, and then used this to obtain a better production and development environment...

In terms of feasibility, this plan is the same as Carter's judgment and idea. Akio Toyoda also believes that the feasibility is very high!

On the one hand, Carter's influence in the south-central region of Georgia, especially the small area from Argyle in the south to Douglas in the north, is basically at the ceiling level! He has witnessed his good reputation.

..

If he joins the union, these people will most likely become his die-hard supporters. In a wider area, his influence will weaken, but his good reputation is already being spread, and his potential appeal cannot be underestimated...

There is a mass base, campaign funds provided by Toyota, and even the entire Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, and now there are also connections among senior executives of the Automobile Workers Union...

The right time, the right place and the right people are all here!

Akio Toyoda, the only thing he is worried about right now is: after pushing Carter to a mid-to-high position in the Automobile Workers Union, will he change his mind? Will he no longer be a good friend of the Japanese car people and directly change his identity?

Turn into a guy who looks exactly like those vampires in UAW?!

If the Japanese gathered their strength and pushed Carter up, he would end up with a white-eyed wolf...

"In addition to being an American, you also have banking business in the local area. We feel more at ease cooperating with you! You are not the kind of cancerous worm that does not engage in production. If you maliciously organize a strike, it will also have an impact on your banking business.

In this regard, our interests are the same!"

"We Japanese car companies need a stable production environment, and you also need a stable and prosperous market! Mr. Black, can I ask you to come to Japan? This kind of thing is not something I can decide, not even Eiji.

Grandpa can’t do it either..."

"If you can help us and gain the trust of those old guys, the entire Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association will be your backing. In the future, whether it is business cooperation or your intention to participate in politics, we can provide you with sufficient support!

Please, Busan!"

Although the nondescript Blackthorne was a bit strange, Carter's attention was not there at all at this time.

Who would have thought that just for the sake of buying five vans, it would lead to such a big deal?!

One thing to say is that we know that the UAW will be weak in the future. Even in 2017, when workers at Nissan's Canton, Mississippi, plant voted to decide whether to allow the UAW to move in, more than 60% of the workers expressed their opposition to the UAW's move in.

be opposed to.

But in 1981, when Detroit had not yet been bankrupted; when the three American auto giants of General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler had not yet been bankrupted, the influence and power of the auto unions were extremely huge...

Carter doesn't know how Japanese car companies in history have avoided the erosion of UAW at this stage, but for him...

As Akio Toyoda said, if you have a resume from the Automobile Workers Union, it will be a huge amount of political capital for you. Even if you have no plans to participate in politics, you can think about Yale, a university known as the cradle of American presidents.

..

Everyone understands the importance of networking and network building! Carter naturally also understood that if he could not meet some future talents or current bosses during his four years at Yale, then the university would be meaningless.

"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"

I know what I want to do, but how to do it? How to establish a relationship with those characters? What should I talk to them about... To be honest, Carter is mentally disturbed right now.

If you have a resume of the Automobile Workers Union, even a relatively brilliant one, and you can become the chairman of a state branch at a young age...

At the very least, isn’t it time to talk about it?

In addition, if I can reach cooperation with Japanese car companies, then when Japanese car companies enter the United States in the future, where will they choose to build a factory? In Georgia, where they have their own care? Or in Kentucky, Mississippi, and Alabama, places they are unfamiliar with?

Something like that?

This is almost a no-brainer!

A large number of car companies have entered their territory, which is also a big plus for their banking business...
Chapter completed!
