It is a documentary about an incredible man who turned the destiny of two of
the greatest auto organizations Renault and Nissan. Carlos Ghosn brought into the world in Brazil to Lebanese guardians, is a man with a fascinating history, and a similarly charming continuous adventure as well. The man ripped at his way up the company pecking order to the actual top of the car business, in the long run delegated head of Renault and Nissan at the same time. Large and in charge and straightforwardly streaming across the globe to keep up appearances, Ghosn's ensuing ascent prompted a dynamite defeat. In 1996 Carlos Ghosn was brought to save RENAULT, a French company as it was facing continuous losses, he was called by the president of Renault as he was looking for someone brilliant and sharp. Being a Lebanese, he was asked to take the French citizenship which he was not willing to take up. He was observant and used to work diligently. After joining the company and doing a deep study he decided to cease Belgian factory production which leads to lay off of 3000 employees, he did so to reduce the excess cost occurred by the company due to which he was termed as Le cost killer. The strategy ultimately helped Renault gain a healthy profit of 12.5 billion francs. After making the position of the Renault in good health, Carlos Ghosn decided to alliance with NISSAN, a Japanese company. NISSAN being in 20 billion debts, accepted to alliance with RENAULT and accept being in control of a foreign chairman which otherwise Nissan would not have accepted to be in. To bring Nissan’s financial position into a good health Carlos Ghosn used his technique of cost reduction by reducing 21000 head count which consist of 14% of total employees which eventually resulted in 20 billion in debt to 15 billion in bank. After so much of achievements there comes the beginning of his ending, associated with suicides because of negligence at Renault, while spending a luxurious 630,000 euros for his 60th birthday celebration, which was held at the Royal residence of Versailles and paid for with, purportedly, organization cash, the man isn't without contention. As one questioner says, Ghosn's effect in Japan resembled a prostate test. Certainly, it's solid and something required, but at the same time it's resentful and a total torment. Indeed, the Japanese before long hit back against Ghosn's sumptuous way of life and thusly captured him under charges of involving organization cash for individual use. Exposed to "prisoner equity", Ghosn endeavours to get away. Out and out, this narrative isn't one that will exhaust you and will just leave you with inquiries regarding what occurred in Nissan and where is Ghosn now.
