Chapter 241: There is a spirit of contract
"Mr. Chen, do you mean that you will cooperate with the Modu Automobile Factory with two products, which are similar to the Chrysler family and the Ford Victoria Crown?" Hu Liang said in disbelief, his voice trembling.
"That's right. β
"But...... But ......"
"But" for a long time, he didn't have "but" anything.
Chen Geng understands Hu Liang's mood very well at the moment, on the one hand, he thinks in his heart that such excellent products as the Chrysler family and the Ford Victoria Crown almost represent the pinnacle of today's automobile industry design.
But on the other hand, thinking that Chen Geng himself is the designer of the Chrysler family and the Ford Victoria Crown, is he still skeptical of his ability? It is just too much to say that others cannot design a car that can be compared with the Chrysler family and the Ford Victoria Crown...... People were able to come up with such a good product before, and now it is naturally no problem.
Chen Geng, who patted Hu Liang on the shoulder with a smile: "Director Hu, you must know that our cooperation with Chrysler and Ford is a one-shot deal, but now it is different, this is my own business, I only do better, not worse, don't you say?"
Also!
Hu Liang immediately reacted, since this is Chen Geng's own business, he should indeed be more attentive and show greater ability, if he used eighty percent of his skills to tie up Chrysler to design the family and help Ford design the Victoria Crown, now he must take out ninety, ninety, and half or even ten percent of his efforts.
Realizing this, Hu Liang finally stretched out his hand to Chen Geng: "Then I wish you a happy cooperation with Modu Automobile Factory." β
"Thank you, I believe that our cooperation will be very pleasant, and ......" Turning his head at Professor Song Jingying, Professor Zhao and Professor Feng, Chen Geng said: "Professor Song, Professor Zhao, Professor Feng, please also ask the three of you to convey my meaning to your university, I very much hope to be able to cooperate with you in this cooperation." β
Professor Song, Professor Zhao, and Professor Feng nodded immediately, and almost patted their chests to assure Chen Geng that his school would definitely have the right to cooperate with Chen Geng's research and development work: Just kidding, people can give money, right? For the major colleges and universities that are now poor and can barely drink gruel, being able to hug a foreign tyrant like Fernandez Company with a lot of money in their hands is almost like pie in the sky.
........................
Until he returned to his office, Chen Geng's head was still dizzy, and he tried to digest the shock that the news brought to him: Wolf Castle was so over?
But Chen Geng was dazed, but Rosemary, who was the CEO of Fernandez, was not dizzy at all, she looked at her boss with a serious face: "Boss, are you sure you are serious? Are you really going to open an automobile manufacturing plant in Huaxia? Are you sure you have thought it through? An automobile manufacturing plant and a scrapped car dismantling factory are not the same thing." β
Chen Geng earnestly corrected the mistake in Rosemary's words: "Instead of opening an automobile manufacturing plant in Huaxia, we will establish a joint venture with a local state-owned enterprise in Huaxia to establish a joint-stock company for automobile production and manufacturing." β
"It's all the same," Rosemary waved her hand instead of dwelling on these small details with her boss: "Although you are the boss of the company, since I am the CEO you hired, I will be responsible for you: are you sure that you can make money by cooperating with the Huaxia people in this business? According to what you said, even the Germans have flinched." β
Rosemary's worries are not unreasonable, whose German Wolfsburg car owns?
of the Porsche family;
When did the Porsche family start the car business?
It scares you when you say it: in 1896, Ferdinand Porsche and his friends made a two-seater electric car called "Lona Porsche";
Even if Wolfsburg Motors, an automobile company founded by the FΓΌhrer in 1937, has been more than half a century now, and has rich experience in dealing with all kinds of risks, and even they have retreated in the face of the Chinese market, can Fernandez have a more investment vision than Wolfsburg Motors?
Chen Geng thought for a while and said: "As a professional manager, you should know very well that if we only develop step by step, Fernandez may become a relatively large company, and we may be able to earn $100 million, $500 million or even $1 billion a year, but that's it, we will never be able to become a great company like Ford and Boeing that can influence all aspects of American society. Boeing is unlikely to allow a second company to compete with them, but I see such an opportunity in Huaxia.
According to the official data released by Huaxia at the beginning of this year, by the end of 1978, China had a population of more than 960 million, making it the world's most populous country, which means that this is the market with the greatest potential in the world......
"But Huaxia is poor. Rosemary interrupted Chen Geng's words and said, "How much consumption potential can such a market have?"
"That's right, Huaxia is still very poor," Chen Geng does not deny: "But poverty can become rich, and poverty also means that the purchasing power of this market is limited now, so we can take the lead if we come first...... If this is a highly mature market, like the U.S. auto consumer market, what else can we do? Do you think it's still an opportunity for us?"
"I understand what you mean," Rosemary thought for a long time, and finally understood what her boss meant: "So you think the Huaxia market is an opportunity for us, even if this market is very risky and uncertain?"
Good...... Bar......
If you want to understand it that way, it can be.
In order to waste less saliva with Rosemary, Chen Geng nodded: "You can also understand it this way...... The main reason is that even if all the investments in Huaxia are lost, the impact on our company will not be too great, and the company will not close down, but once the bet is won, it will make a lot of money. β
"It's like spending 50 cents on a lottery ticket, if you win, you'll make a lot of money, and if you don't win, it's just 50 cents?"
"Hah...... Almost," Chen Geng was amused by Rosemary's analogy: "We are equivalent to a salaryman who takes out $200 to buy lottery tickets, and if we lose money, we won't go bankrupt, but we are distressed."
And the investment link in Huaxia is not as bad as you see, think about our investment in Huaxia, they actually have a very contractual spirit, right? So I think that although the risk of this investment is a bit big, but it is not a big outrageous, compared to the harvest if the investment becomes a function, this risk is still worth it. β
