Cao Mo ate all over the streets and alleys of Xinhai with his father when he was a child, and when he was a little older, he took Cheng Xi and Xiao Jun to eat blindly everywhere - because he made up his mind to accompany Xiao Jun to drink, Cao Mo asked Shen Ji to throw the car directly into the underground garage of the shopping mall, and he didn't call the bodyguards to drive the car over, and the six people directly took two taxis to Yaojia Lane.

The dilapidated alley from many years ago has long since been renovated.

Not only are the roads newly asphalted, but the old houses on both sides have been newly painted, and the yellow street lights shine down from the sparse branches and leaves of the sycamores.

The old store has a new signboard, "Xu Ji Mutton Shop", the store is not big, the decoration is clean and tidy, but the proprietress is still full of charm.

"Don't look at Xiao Jun now as if he is particularly infatuated, you know that he likes to pull me all the way over to drink a bowl of haggis soup in high school, is it why? You see that the boss lady is now in her forties, her face is wrinkled, and she is a little destroyed by the years, but ten years ago, she looked really smart, and her figure was also scratchy, Xiao Jun liked to stare at other people's butts at that time!" I haven't seen Zhao Qianyun, but I guess, seven or eight times out of ten looks more like this boss lady!"

"Hey, when you say that, it really looks like it......" Lu Junbo slapped the table and shouted.

"Is there a photo of this girl, let's see if it looks like?" Cheng Xi and Wu Yunling said lively.

"Don't listen to Cao Mo to frame me, this store was obviously dug up by him first, and he didn't ......let Cheng Xi know at the beginning" asked Cao Mo to stir up like this, Xiao Jun's emotions were not so strong, and he smiled and "framed" Cao Mo.

Next, no one mentioned the sensitive topic of Zhao Qianyun again, Xiao Jun and Lu Junbo had a good relationship when they were in college, and they were excited to meet unexpectedly in Xinhai.

Lu Junbo is also a very honest and direct person, and after two glasses of wine, he explained his recent situation.

After graduating from university, Lu Junbo returned to his hometown Zhijiang where Changchuang's headquarters is located, and applied to work in Changchuang's headquarters in Zhijiang for two years.

Although he is now based in Xinhai, strictly speaking, he is not going to Xinhai to explore.

Changchuang Electronics is mainly engaged in the production and sales of household air conditioners, but also concurrently engaged in central air conditioners, vehicle air conditioners and other products.

Xinhai's domestic car-making force is very lonely and weak, it used to be a lone show in Huachen, and now with Tianyue Industry, the strength has not increased much, but the joint venture car-making force is extremely strong, and the production and sales of joint venture cars in 07 years are nearly 4 million.

Car air conditioners are only a small part of the car, but four million units a year is also quite a scary market.

Therefore, every time a joint venture car manufacturer plans to launch a new model, the major parts and electronic control system suppliers will start a fight.

Changchuang only officially involved in the production and sales of vehicle air conditioners three years ago, and has not been able to open the market in Xinhai for the time being.

Gu Qidong, the new general manager of Changchuang East China Sales Company this year, hopes to open the classified market of vehicle air conditioners in East China, but Volkswagen, GM and other joint ventures have entered Xinhai for more than ten or twenty years, and have formed a stable supply chain system.

Lu Junbo was not Gu Qidong's descendant in the first place, and he still belonged to the kind of personnel who should be beaten, and now the new work is not going well, and life under Gu Qidong is even more difficult;

"Alas, Gu Qidong trained people, as if they were all his grandsons - if it weren't for the Changchuang treatment, I would have wanted to change jobs several times......" Speaking of the hardships and grievances at work, Lu Junbo was also resentful.

"Who is mixed in society, isn't it the grandson first?" Xiao Jun pulled Lu Junbo to drink, and he couldn't say too many words to comfort him.

Shen Ji's status and environment are better, but Xiao Jun presides over sales work in Kanem and Akwa, and has a good relationship with the employees below.

The sales supervisor with a weak personality can't stop the oily salespeople below, if he can't do the performance, he doesn't have the face to rely on the relationship with Cao Mo, and he won't vacate the seat for others.

The market environment in West Africa is complex, and the company's culture and the enthusiasm and discipline of employees are far from being comparable with those in China, especially when he has just taken over the marketing and sales work, Xiao Jun does not want to be despised by his subordinates and customers, and he is extremely strong, and his temper will inevitably be impatient and hot.

It was also after surviving the most difficult transition period, many tasks could be done handy, and Xiao Jun was relatively soft in dealing with others.

"You are now resident in Xinhai, so did Wang Hongmei go to Xinhai with you?" Even if Xiao Jun wanted to find an opportunity to help Lu Junbo, it was impossible to boast about Haikou in front of Cao Mo and Shen Ji, after all, Lu Junbo was just his classmate, so he would divert the topic and ask him about his feelings at this time.

"I broke up early, I went to Xinhaixin to talk about one, from China Normal University, and I haven't graduated yet - there are a lot of girls in their class, if you haven't talked yet, I'll ask my girlfriend to introduce the girls in their class to you. Lu Junbo said.

"But I like ......," Xiao Jun laughed.

"By the way, you said that you have been abroad for the past two years, by the way, what is your company doing abroad?" Lu Junbo asked curiously.

Cao Mo and Huang Tianyu simply said their names, Gu Qidong may be able to hear his identity, but Lu Junbo has no idea what the name "Cao Mo" represents.

At the same time, he didn't speculate in stocks, and he didn't even know that Taihua Group was a listed company, and he thought it was a small company with no reputation.

"Our company in Africa does almost everything except not buying or selling people. Xiao Jun said with a smile, there is really no way to brag with Lu Junbo.

"It's impossible to even buy and sell arms, right?" Lu Junbo asked jokingly, at this time, seeing the mobile phone in the corner of the table vibrating, he glanced at it, patted his forehead and shouted, "I don't know what happened to the surname Gu to toss me, annoy him! I'll answer the phone first......"

Watching Lu Junbo go out to answer the phone, Cao Mo said to Cheng Xi and Wu Yunling: "It's not bragging, we really even have arms together now." ”

"Brag, Tianyue bought a few guns from a security company in Africa, it can't be said to be an arms business, right?" Although Wu Yunling has never been to Africa, she is still familiar with Tianyue's business, so she shook her head at the moment and expressed disbelief, and asked Cheng Xi, "Do you think your man is bragging?"

"Then you just wait to see the international news, we are just relatively low-key, and we will not make a big publicity. Cao Mo said in a tricky way.

"Before Xiao Jun returned to China, Tianyue Industry received an order for a batch of pickup trucks, and the other party put forward a special modification request, and it is possible to see traces of Tianyue products in the military conflict in Africa in the future," Shen Ji explained to his fiancée, "It's just that this matter should not be hyped up......

Lu Junbo took the phone, walked in with a sad face, and said, "Gu Qidong said that he would rush over to see you." If you don't want to see him, I'll give him back, but it's a big deal that I really resigned from Changchuang this time. ”

"We won't be afraid of one more person drinking, let Gu Qidong come over, I just have time today, I can talk to him,"

Cao Mo saw that Lu Junbo's eyes were a little confused, and explained with a smile,

"We used to do pickup sales in Africa, the volume is not large, last year only more than 6,000 sales, then we will get involved in the manufacture of pickup trucks, the market scope will also expand, pickup products initially plan to have a production of 30,000 a year, will also develop low-end off-road vehicle products, the annual output is also about 20,000 or 30,000. Gu Qidong should have heard some news from Huang Tianyu when he sent Huang Tianyu back just now. Of course, our pickup products, the level is still relatively low-grade, if the price of Changchuang's car air conditioner can be preferential enough, it can supply us - cheap others are not as cheap as their own brothers, Gu Qidong will come over in a while, it is impossible to talk about too specific things, you can take Changchuang's information directly to Xiao Jun tomorrow......"

"What kind of company are you, why can't I guess at all? Twenty or thirty thousand sets of car air conditioners a year is already a big business order - we are looking for Poten to cooperate this time, it is Volkswagen's joint venture factory to have a new model, parts to be localized, but the annual production and sales may be about 100,000 units. Lu Junbo asked in surprise.

For the joint venture car factory, a model may have more than 100,000 annual sales, and the first core goal to be achieved by Tianyue Industry in the next three to five years is to exceed 100,000 passenger car annual production and sales, and the development goal is not a concept at all.

"Xiao Jun is now the deputy director of marketing and vice president of the overseas department of our Tianyue Industry, which is very awesome, and our Tianyue Industry has just eaten the pickup production line of Huachen Automobile. Cao Mo said.

Lu Junbo opened his mouth slightly, he couldn't fully digest the news for a long time, and was stunned for a while before asking: "Tianyue has only acquired Huachen Automobile's pickup production line for a few days, and this is going to develop new models?"

Old models, parts and control system software have formed a fixed and mature supply chain, Changchuang now wants to open the car air conditioning market, are from the planned or under development of new models.

Huachen has no plans to develop new models in the past two years, so it has not been included in the target of the new market by Changchuang, but Lu Junbo still knows a little about Tianyue Industry's acquisition of Huachen pickups, but he didn't expect Cao Mo and Xiao Jun to have a relationship with Tianyue Industry, and even their status is quite low.

Gu Qidong rushed over faster than expected, he had obviously heard some key information from Huang Tianyu, and after arriving, he first reflected on his unfriendly attitude towards Lu Junbo in the teahouse, but Cao Mo didn't intend to listen to too many words on the scene, so he made the meaning clear, and said: "I asked Dabo to contact Xiao Jun tomorrow with information, the quotation is favorable enough, and at the same time, the performance and product quality stability have passed the evaluation, we should be able to finalize the cooperation ...... soon."

Cao Mo was so straightforward, Gu Qidong was not used to it, and asked: "Tianyue just acquired Huachen pickup, so soon decided to develop a new model?"

Gu Qidong also thought that Tianyue Industry was going to try Changchuang's products in the new model, but Cao Mo had no intention of talking too much to Gu Qidong and Lu Junbo at this time, after all, it involved his core business ideas for Tianyue Industry.

Generally speaking, the supply chain of parts and control systems for older models is mature and fixed, but nothing is absolute.

Ibogu Mining, Conero Cement, Gulf of Guinea Shipping and Conero Industrial Park, Cao Mo will rarely bypass Yang Deshan, Kabuja, Wendiscaf, Garon and others to directly intervene in specific operational affairs, and Conero Foods is even more hands-off.

However, in addition to directly serving as the chairman of Tianyue Industry this time, now Tianyue Industry's large and small affairs, work reports must be reported to him.

Now that the acquisition of Huachen pickup production line has been completed, the most important thing in Cao Mo's next plan is to personally break up the original supply chain such as parts and reorganize it.

The potential of the African market is not small, but no one can deny that the level of the African market is still relatively low.

Whether it is passenger cars or transport vehicles, price can be said to be the most sensitive factor in the African market, and if it were not for second-hand cars, they would not be so popular in Africa.

If Tianyue's products want to gain a firm foothold in the African market, the price must not be higher than that of their peers.

However, Tianyue can not give up the pursuit of quality and performance, and even continue to increase investment in technical research, the only thing that can be done is to squeeze out the cost moisture in all links.

In addition to the need for Xu Bin and Huang Yijiang to engage in refined management in production, technology research and development, etc., the market sales link and the parts supply chain can compress the cost space is very large.

In other aspects, Cao Mo can hold the attitude of "when the water is clear, there is no fish", open one eye and close one eye, but Tianyue Industry started too late and the foundation was too poor, so he could only fight it as a tough battle.

The mid-to-high-end sedan is very complex, and the requirements for precision and stability are also extremely high, and the difficulty of completely breaking the old supply chain is not much lower than the development of new vehicle technology, but Huachen pickup can only be said to be a low-end product at present, which also means that the internal control system is simple, the proportion of electronic control components is low, and the compatibility with hardware is much higher than that of high-end products.

This opens up the possibility of reorganizing the parts supply chain.

Cao Mocai had a preliminary discussion with Xu Bin and Huang Yijiang about this idea, and Xu Bin and Huang Yijiang suggested that after Gu Fan returned from Kanem, they would further discuss the feasibility and specific details of this plan.

They don't recommend that this plan be implemented soon, in addition to technical scruples, the main thing is that it has just received Huachen's pickup line for a few days, and it is not easy to make a good transition in all links.

Cao Mo originally agreed with Xu Bin and Huang Yijiang's suggestions, thinking that they would wait for Gu Fan and them to initially grasp the improvement and transformation ideas of Huachen pickup before mentioning this matter, but it was better to hurry up.

The control system of Huachen pickup truck on-board air conditioning is very simple, there is no technical difficulty in hardware replacement, and there is no need to even use the technical force that the Turnsmith Laboratory has just organized and is integrating, and ordinary modification factories or auto repair shops can do a good job.

With such an opportunity, Cao Mo decided to explore the way with the car air conditioner, and had no intention of consulting Xu Bin and Huang Yijiang again.
