Bao Junyi knew that in his previous life, Bedford was a brand under General Motors, mainly developing and producing light, medium and heavy trucks and military armored vehicles, covering dual-use military and civilian products.

However, at the end of 1979, GM faced its biggest crisis in 60 years, with losses reaching US$1.156 billion. Coupled with GM's high debt, frequent mistakes in senior decision-making, and high welfare and treatment at European and American factories, the company fell into a financial crisis.

This is also an opportunity for Bao Junyi to cut the Bedford company's cake from General Motors and expand a new segment for Miracle Auto.

However, whether it can be acquired still requires the consent of the Eagle Country.

MacLehose hesitated for a moment before saying, "The Queen of Eagle Country means that all Hong Kong companies should be allowed to return to Eagle Country for acquisition and development."

"Mr. Bao, are you saying that you have your eyes on these companies?"

"Yes, I think they are good and meet the current needs of Miracle Group."

"Although those companies are in serious financial debt, it's still very difficult for you to acquire them."

Bao Junyi smiled and said, "So, I want to know, Her Majesty, how much support do you have for foreign investment entering Eagle Country?"

"If the support is strong enough, I will consider entering. Otherwise, the local companies in Eagle Country will stick together, and we, as foreign capital, will not be able to enter at all."

MacLehose: “…”

Damn it, this kid is waiting for him here.

It turned out that he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to let the Queen put pressure on local companies so that his acquisition would be smoother.

MacLehose said with a dark face, "Mr. Bao, if the Queen gets involved, it's usually a large acquisition. Small acquisitions won't alarm her."

"I know, so I'm interested in Eagle Country's shipbuilding, automobile, and communications industries."

“If I make a move, I will acquire it all at once, not slowly.”

MacLehose was silent for a long time before he said, "I will report your request to you."

"At the same time, Her Majesty the Queen is very optimistic about you. Are you really not going to take the exam and move the group to Eagle Country?"

"They promised to support super-local enterprises, exempting them from taxes for the first three years and providing water and electricity reductions."

Bao Junyi shook his head and said, "No, I haven't considered relocation yet."

"However, I will consider the idea of establishing a branch in Eagle Country."

This game left Bao Junyi physically and mentally exhausted.

It also made him understand a truth: "A fox that lives for a thousand years, a tortoise that lives for ten thousand years" and there is no simple one in the officialdom.

......

The next day.

Bao Junyi is preparing to go to the Bear Country.

This matter has dragged on for long enough.

Bao Junyi called Jiang Wenlong and Chu Shihan and asked, "Old Jiang, what direction do you have for the development of the Miracle Chip?"

"Mr. Bao, I think chips will develop in the direction of miniaturized integrated circuits. Through continuous stacking, transistors can be combined on a single chip. Stacking hundreds, thousands, or even higher numbers will greatly improve efficiency. However, the disadvantage is that the process will be more complex and difficult."

Bao Junyi was very surprised. Isn't this the development path of communication chips in the future?

Bao Junyi smiled with satisfaction and said, "Yes, I've also considered this direction."

"So, I decided to expand my investment in chip research and development."

Jiang Wenlong said excitedly: "Bao Sheng, is that true?"

"But our chip talent..."

Bao Junyi interrupted directly: "So, I called Chu Shihan, the director of the human resources department."

"Shihan, contact famous headhunting companies in various countries."

"We only want to recruit talent from the chip departments of Texas Instruments, Intel, and Motorola."

"As long as you're talented, we'll double your salary, give you two free round-trip tickets a year, and provide you with free apartments and other benefits. We'll even be willing to poach Motorola's entire chip department."

"Offer higher salaries to headhunters so they work harder."

Chu Shihan's face was filled with shock, her mouth opened into an O shape, and she didn't react for a long time.

"Shihan, are you listening?"

Chu Shihan quickly reacted and said, "Ah, Bao Sheng, you will offend those three groups if you do this."

"Haha, if they've offended me, then so be it. Even if you don't accept it, let them offer high salaries to poach me."

"If we follow the welfare package you receive for your child, the group's single-chip department will incur a significant expense every year."

"It's okay. The group can still afford this. For the future chip market, this is just a drop in the bucket."

Chu Shihan said helplessly: "Okay, I'll guarantee the birth. I'll contact the major international headhunting companies later."

Bao Junyi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Old Jiang, you have also seen my investment in the Miracle Chip Department."

"My request is simple. In the future, Miracle Group will focus on the research and development of communication chips."

"This market is huge, and I hope our Miracle Group will be the first to take advantage of it."

Jiang Wenlong nodded heavily and said, "Mr. Bao, as far as I know, these major companies you recruited are all among the top in the communications industry."

"You want to poach the chip developers they've trained and hire them directly?"

"That's right, we started late, so we can only attract them by offering high welfare benefits."

"Otherwise, how can we narrow the gap?"

"Bao Sheng, I understand."

Bao Junyi smiled with satisfaction and said, "Well, let's get busy."

Bao Junyi said to Qiu Shuzhen, "Go call Mr. Jia and Huo Jianlin."

"OK."

Ten minutes later.

Bao Junyi said to Jia Yuezheng, "Old Jia, keep a close eye on Wharf Properties and Miracle Heavy Industries. They are both in the early stages of development and need more attention."
