After sending off Walker Stanzer, Mr. Guo pondered for a moment, called his secretary in, and asked him: "Xiao Wang, how much do you know about FAW Group's recent preparations to find a partner?"

Secretary Xiao Wang really knew about this, so when he heard this, he immediately said: "Before, Xu Jiangping, the manager of Yiqi Group, was a little anxious when he saw that the cooperation application between Brilliance Auto and BMW of Germany had been approved, and that Mercedes-Benz Automobile of Germany was in the eyebrows of Shouqi Group, and wanted this world-class partner. ”

Mr. Guo nodded: "So Yiqi Group is ready to cooperate with Audi?"

Xiao Wang said that he understands this situation very well, Yiqi Group is the largest automobile industry giant in China, and it is called the existence of the "eldest son", since it is the "eldest son" , then no matter what the benefits are, they must be prioritized, and the government has been doing this all these years, but now, seeing that Mercedes-Benz and BMW, the two world-recognized luxury car brands, are cooperating with the two younger brothers who would never look at him at all before, Xu Jiangping can feel comfortable It is hell, and it is reasonable to want to find a world-class luxury car brand to cooperate.

"Leader, that's not the case," thinking of those interesting things during this time, Secretary Xiao Wang couldn't help but smile: "In fact, before this...... It was probably the end of last month...... Mr. Ferdinand Piëch, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Wolfsburg Motors, took Mr. Martin Wendern, Chairman of Audi Motors, to visit Comrade Xu Jiangping of Yiqi Group, and wanted to promote and promote the cooperation between Yiqi Group and Audi Motor, but the final result was that Comrade Xu Jiangping did not fancy Audi. ”

"Oh?" Hearing what his secretary said, Mr. Guo's interest also came: "This is a bit interesting, tell me, what's going on, why didn't Xu Jiangping take a fancy to Audi?"

"Why Comrade Xu Jiangping didn't take a fancy to Audi, what is going on, in fact, none of us know, but there are two rumors circulating now, one is that Comrade Xu Jiangping feels that the Audi brand is not hard enough, compared with Mercedes-Benz and BMW, he hopes to cooperate with Cadillac or Lincoln in the United States. ”

"It makes sense," Mr. Guo nodded subconsciously: "When it comes to brands, the brands of Cadillac and Lincoln are definitely much harder than Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi...... Well, you go on, what's the second reason?"

In the eyes of Mr. Guo and his generation, the luxury brand is linked to the strength of the country, the United States is the world leader, so of course, their luxury brand is also the world's hardest luxury brand, so in this world, there are two real luxury car brands, one is Cadillac, the other is Lincoln, as for what Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, you are a defeated country in Germany, until now, their own land has been stationed by the Americans tens of thousands of troops, A country that has set aside dozens of plots of land for the Americans to use as military bases is also worthy of being called a normal country?

According to what we said before, you Germany deserve to be called only a "semi-colonial" country!

If it weren't for the historical background, why would a car brand that is better than a semi-colonial country become a second-rate luxury car brand in the world after Cadillac and Lincoln.

"Leader, the second reason I heard about it, whether that's the case or not, I can't guarantee it. Secretary Xiao Wang said with a smile.

"Hmm...... You just say. ”

With the permission of the leader, Secretary Xiao Wang said: "The second reason for this spread is that after Ferdinand Piëch and Martin Wendeen arrived at FAW, the end of the shelf was bigger than the sky, and the nostrils were soaring to the sky. It is said that there is no agreement on technology transfer in this contract, that is to say, in essence, Audi wants to find an OEM production plant in our country and share a little benefit to FAW, as for other things such as technology transfer, there is no such thing as technology transfer.

Seeing this condition, it is said that Comrade Xu Jiangping was angry at that time, and there was gossip that Comrade Xu Jiangping slapped the table at that time and scolded, "Are your Wolf Castle cars still in China 20 years ago?!"

Speaking of this, Secretary Xiao Wang glanced at Mr. Guo secretly, and then said: "Of course, these are all rumors from comrades in private, whether this is the case or not, I can only ask Comrade Xu Jiangping." ”

Speaking of the back, Secretary Xiao Wang couldn't help but gloat.

Secretary Xiao Wang said this, but Mr. Guo's face suddenly became a little ugly.

When SAIC and Wolfsburg Automobile were negotiating, Mr. Guo was also a member of the negotiation team, and his specific position was the secretary of the minutes of the negotiation, responsible for recording the content and details of the negotiation.

Of course, later Chen Geng's AMC car came out of the air, and we won't talk about the Wolfsburg car, just talk about the Germans, after so many years, their eyes are really still on the top of their heads, what was it like more than 20 years ago, and today more than 20 years later, it is still that stinky virtue, it is really a dog that can't change and eat!

To be honest, Mr. Guo was really thinking about whether to help the Germans, but Secretary Wang's words made Mr. Guo have no good impression of Wolfsburg in an instant.

However, it is one thing to have no good feelings, and he knows very well how important Yiqi Group is to the whole of China, so after adjusting his mentality, he asked Secretary Xiao Wang again: "Then do you know how Yiqi communicates with the Americans? Are General Motors and Ford willing to cooperate with Cadillac and Lincoln with Yiqi?"

"I don't know the specific situation," Secretary Wang shook his head: "But it seems that General Motors is only going to use the Buick brand to cooperate with our Yiqi, and Ford seems to have directly refused." ”

"That's ......"

Hearing such a situation, Mr. Guo couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart.

"Yes," Speaking of this, Secretary Xiao Wang suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said: "By the way, although General Motors and Ford refused, I heard that Mr. Chen Gengchen seems to be interested in cooperating with Yiqi Group with their Lexus cars, and I heard that the inspection team of Yiqi Group has gone to the United States." ”
