GM to build billion-dollar Cadillac factory in China


CHICAGO, May 7 - General Motors has been given green light by China to build a 1.3-billion-U.S.-dollar factory in Shanghai, the automaker confirmed Tuesday.


The plant will be located in Shanghai's Jinqiao district, GM said in a statement. Construction is to begin in June, according to Chicago Tribune.

GM said the planned production capacity for the factory is 150, 000 vehicles.

"We want to build where we sell. That is very important to us," said Alan Adler, a GM spokesman in Detroit.

GM has a strong presence in China, with a market share of 15.2 percent, according to Daniel Ammann, GM Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President.

Daniel Francis Akerson, GM Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, has repeatedly talked about the importance of Chinese market.

Akerson said the company has a "drive targeted to triple Cadillac's annual sales in China to 100,000 units by the end of 2015." He made the remarks during the company's first-quarter earnings teleconference last week.

Well, the way they make shows is, they make one show. That show's called a pilot. Then they show that show to the people who make shows, and on the strength of that one show they decide if they're going to make more shows.

Like you, I used to think the world was this great place where everybody lived by the same standards I did, then some kid with a nail showed me I was living in his world, a world where chaos rules not order, a world where righteousness is not rewarded. That's Cesar's world, and if you're not willing to play by his rules, then you're gonna have to pay the price.

You think water moves fast? You should see ice. It moves like it has a mind. Like it knows it killed the world once and got a taste for murder. After the avalanche, it took us a week to climb out. Now, I don't know exactly when we turned on each other, but I know that seven of us survived the slide... and only five made it out. Now we took an oath, that I'm breaking now. We said we'd say it was the snow that killed the other two, but it wasn't. Nature is lethal but it doesn't hold a candle to man.

You see? It's curious. Ted did figure it out - time travel. And when we get back, we gonna tell everyone. How it's possible, how it's done, what the dangers are. But then why fifty years in the future when the spacecraft encounters a black hole does the computer call it an 'unknown entry event'? Why don't they know? If they don't know, that means we never told anyone. And if we never told anyone it means we never made it back. Hence we die down here. Just as a matter of deductive logic.
