America 1919

Alfred Sloan said: "The matter of Cadillac raising wages for workers, I think this will soon spread among the worker groups in Detroit. These people are insatiable. Now that Cadillac has raised wages, they will surely find a way to make us raise wages too. If this matter isn't handled in time, I'm worried it will trigger a new wave of protests!"

Pierre DuPont frowned. Initially, he was only thinking about how Donnie would resolve this issue and forgot about the chain reaction it would cause!

"Damn Stein Saka!"

Pierre DuPont said angrily: "If it weren't for him, this situation wouldn't have happened!"

Alfred Sloan nodded, deeply agreeing with Pierre DuPont's words. In fact, by this point, Alfred Sloan couldn't understand why Stein Saka and his team were doing such foolish things.

Even if they wanted to ensure their interests in Cadillac, they shouldn't use such a near-breaking approach. They should wait until Cadillac successfully established the new subsidiary brand and then bring various issues to the operation of this subsidiary from details they could control.

To make Cadillac's subsidiary unable to cope, ultimately failing to continue its operations.

But now, they've used such a foolish method to bring out all the conflicts at the same time.

This approach, although seemingly decisive, in one stroke, the result—whether it affects themselves or the opponent—is unpredictable!

Stein Saka wasn't aware of Alfred Sloan's thoughts. At this moment, he was filled with anger.

He wanted to quickly prove that Donnie's decision to let him leave Cadillac was wrong.

Thus, Stein Saka reached out to one of the vice presidents of Ford Motor, Howard Brown!

During Howard Brown's tenure as vice president at Ford Motor, he collaborated with Henry Ford to introduce assembly line work. However, everyone knows that when a major achievement comes out, the focus is always on the first person.

It's just like most people know that the world's highest peak is Mount Everest but can't name the second highest peak.

But Howard Brown didn't mind about such things. His achievements now are a pinnacle most ordinary people could never reach in their lifetime.

Moreover, Howard Brown still held the absolute trust of the Ford Family at Ford Motor.

"Mr. Brown, I've decided to resign from Cadillac and join Ford Motor!"

This was one of the cards Stein Saka previously prided himself on. Before this, Ford Motor had been fully focused on operating popular types of cars, although later it also acquired Lincoln Motor Company, an American luxury car brand created by Henry Leland.

But it was undeniable that Ford's foundation was in popular cars.

So Ford Motor had always wanted its brand to enter the luxury car field. Though some models were launched before, their influence was not significant.

And Stein Saka, who had been committed to luxury car development, was the designer they had always wanted!

But that was in the past.

Now...

"Mr. Sack, I'm really sorry, but Ford Motor no longer has a place for you!"

Howard Brown straightforwardly rejected Stein Saka.

Stein Saka, who had just been wearing a somewhat fawning smile, became a little panicked. This was his retreat plan, "Mr. Brown, doesn't Ford want to enter the luxury car field?"

Howard Brown said: "Of course we want to enter, but we cannot accept your joining us!"

"Why?" Stein Saka was already a bit frenzied: "Is it because of Donnie Block? Do Ford Motor also fear Donnie Block?"

Stein Saka thought Donnie must have called Ford about this matter!

Howard Brown shook his head: "Ford Motor does not fear the Venus Consortium. Rejecting your joining is entirely based on our own decision."

Stein Saka couldn't understand, loudly questioning, why exactly?

Facing Stein's hysteria, Howard Brown calmly explained: "Haven't you figured out why by now?"

A mind clouded with anger, Stein Saka shook his head.

Howard Brown sighed and said: "It's quite simple. You've done something that no employer could accept. They can allow you to pursue your interests and do some harmless things, but what you've done at Cadillac actually impacted the core interests of the boss. If you can do such a thing at Cadillac, you might as well at your new company.

Do you think under these circumstances you could possibly find a job in any of Detroit's car companies?"

Stein Saka fell dejectedly on the sofa. He hadn't expected the consequences could be like this.

But soon, Stein Saka refused to accept Howard Brown's words. He believed he was a renowned automotive designer in America. How could he not find suitable employment!

So in the following days, Stein Saka approached every car company in Detroit, but his results were without exception, none would accept him.

And their reasons were remarkably consistent: they couldn't accept someone who, for personal gain, would crazily harm the boss's own interests to join their company.

And not just Stein Saka, those who resigned with him, like Mihador, also encountered the same problems.

They were completely unemployed in Detroit!

Helpless, they could only leave Detroit...
