which at the time was bill ford, jr., his great-grandson. bill ford after becoming the ceo learned pretty quickly his company was having trouble with gm and what i would consider a very admirable decision on his part decided to look for answers outside of detroit and other executives in gm and chrysler and perhaps higher their ceos to come and bring some fresh ideas. ultimately he went we'll decide the auto industry to the boeing corporation and created the senior executive building commercial airplanes and brought him to detroit to take a different look at ford. what was wrong with this company? after mr. law had a very epiphany when he arrived in detroit which was to change drastically. all these things started to top but you have to have the wherewithal to make some of these hard choices but ford made some hard choices earlier than the gm. the biggest of which is in 2006 when they decided to mortgage the entire company and borrow as much money as they could come up $23 billion for a rainy day fund if you will when things get tough and mor

i was thinking about gerald ford. in particular i was thinking about a conversation president ford had in the oval office of the white house in december 1976 with the iranian ambassador to washington. in that conversation, president ford explained to the ambassador that he needed the help of the shah of iran to stop opec, the cartel that represented oil producers from approving another big increase in the price of oil. at that time the shah was this country's most important middle east ally. so much so that the shah was known by admirers and critics alike as america's shah. opec was due to meet in a few days time to calculate the size of the price increase for the following year. the shah had made it clear to ford that he believed oil was undervalued in price, and that western consumers could afford to pay 15% more for the imports of persian gulf crude oil. he had already brushed aside a letter from ford asking him to rethink his position. the president's meeting with the shah and ambassador was a final attempt to mak
