"Mr. Fernandez, do you really want to bet against me?" Seeing Chen Geng for the first time, Lee Iacoca, who met Chen Geng for the first time, asked Chen Geng with great interest.

Chen Geng smiled and asked rhetorically: "Why, Chrysler doesn't dare?"

Although Rosemary was in charge of the negotiations with Chrysler, Chen Geng was not surprised that Lee Iacocca talked about it with him.

"Why don't you dare? But since it's a bet, it has to be good for both parties, but the current conditions seem to be only good for you......," said Lee Iacocca after a slight pause: "Why don't you do this, if the annual sales of 'family' don't reach 150,000 units, you only need a 'design fee' of $50 per car?"

The confrontation starts now.

Chen Geng looked at Lee Iacocca with a smile: "Mr. Iacoca, you really have a good calculation...... Well, if the sales are less than 100,000 units, I don't charge a penny for the design, how about it?"

"Not a penny?" Lee Iacocca laughed, "Mr. Fernandez, you have a lot of appetite." ”

Since Chen Geng said that the annual sales volume is less than 100,000 units, he doesn't want a penny of design fees, and Chrysler Motors is also one of the four major auto giants in the United States, is he embarrassed to open the price of the bet too low?

Even if he Lee Iacocca was embarrassed, Chrysler couldn't afford to lose this man.

Chen Geng didn't speak, just looked at Li Iacocca with a smile, and his gentle eyes carried a hidden excellent provocation: I played the card, will you take it?

As the world's top professional manager who was kicked out of the door of Ford by Henry Ford because of his "high merit", Lee Iacoca's courage was really heroic enough, he paused for a moment and said: "In this case, Chrysler will not be stingy, so that the annual sales will reach 10 to 150,000 units, 100 dollars for a car, 15 to 200,000 units, 120 dollars, 20 to 250,000 dollars, 130 dollars, 25 to 300,000 units, 140 dollars, more than 300,000 vehicles, 150 dollars, how about it?"

"Deal!" Chen Geng happily agreed.

The price offered by Lee Iacocca is also very sincere, although neither Chen Geng nor Lee Iacocca thinks that the annual sales of the "family" car can exceed 300,000 units - then again, if the annual sales of this car can really reach 300,000 annual sales, Chrysler will happily pay Fernandez $150 per car for the design.

"In addition, Miss Rosemary asked Chrysler to fine-tune your two engines and design the production process and flow, and we can accept it, but in terms of price, it is $13 million. There was no "opening up" to Chen Geng just because the two sides had just reached a cooperation, and Lee Iacocca unceremoniously came up with a ruthless knife.

Chen Geng didn't feel strange at all about the price code set by Lee Iacoca, Americans, that's it, business is business, a business is a business, everyone can cooperate closely on the project of "family", but on the other hand, they can also help Fernandez company tune the engine on the project - who made you ask me?

Chen Geng was not angry, and shook his head with a smile: "It's too high, I think $3 million is more appropriate?"

"$3 million, should you send Hanako?" Lee Iacocca seemed to be greatly insulted, blowing his beard and glaring at his eyes with a dissatisfied expression: "Mr. Fernandez, you must understand that no company would accept such a price, and if it weren't for our close partnership, Chrysler wouldn't have taken this job......"

"If Chrysler doesn't have time, I'll go to the British and Austrians for help. Interrupting Lee Iacoca's words, Chen Geng said honestly: "I believe that the British and Austrians should be able to accept this price." ”

British and Austrians?

Lee Iacoca's expression froze instantly, and he cursed in his heart: Damn A@VL and Cosworth!

Austria A@VL Lister Company is a comprehensive group integrating engine scientific research, development, design, consulting, and engine test equipment production, and is one of the world's four largest internal combustion engine research and development enterprises.

Compared with the Austrian A@VL Liszt Company, the British Cosworth Company is not only not inferior, but also surpassed. There is no need to introduce too much about Cosworth's strength, as long as you know that they are the leader of the British Empire in the field of internal combustion engines, and they are the perennial engine provider and total solution provider of the world's F1 races.

Just like what Chen Geng didn't say, but everyone actually understood, Chrysler Motors was unwilling to help Fernandez do fine tuning, design and formulate production processes and processes for their two engines? It doesn't matter, Chrysler is not willing to do it, and the companies that are willing to do it dare not say that there are eight out of ten, three or five can be found after all, and to be honest, whether it is A@VL company or Cosworth company, their level of engine fine tuning is much stronger than Chrysler, and Chrysler is better at cost control and quality control under the requirements of large-scale industrial production.

But even in terms of large-scale industrial production of engines, Chrysler did not dare to say that he could completely suppress A@VL and Cosworth, or that sentence, people rely on this to eat.

Speaking of which, Lee Iacocca knew in his heart that his previous little abacus had failed, but he was also a master who could bend and stretch, and when he saw that he couldn't do anything, he immediately gave up the previous idea of slaughtering Chen Geng, and laughed and said: "Just kidding, Fernandez, I'm just joking...... We're good friends, so how can we not help you? But $3 million is really impossible, and I think 7 million is a good number. ”

Well, from $13 million to $7 million, it's almost halved!

But even so, Chen Geng was still dissatisfied, and shook his head with a smile: "Mr. Iacoca, you have to make it clear, we are not asking you to design an engine from scratch, nor are we buying one of your products, we are just asking you to help us refine the engine. It's just a matter of designing production processes and processes, which can be done by many companies, and any company will not offer more than $4 million, $3 million is already a very reasonable number, if Chrysler can't accept it......"

Although Chen Geng didn't say it, Li Iacocca still understood what Chen Geng meant: Then I'll go to the Austrians or the British.

Damn the Austrians and the British!

At this moment, Lee Iacocca swore that he hated the Austrians and the British, and what were you doing with Cosworth, what A@VL were you doing with nothing? Isn't it good for you British to do your own Rolls-Royce? Isn't it good for you Austrians to do your music well?

What kind of engine do you have to play with idle?!

But there was no way, Chen Geng's threat was too powerful, and it was ...... $3 million, for Chrysler Motors, which has been losing money repeatedly, this is indeed a huge amount of money, Lee Iacocca gritted his teeth: "If you are willing to hand over these two engines to Chrysler OEM, $3 million will be $3 million!"

Chrysler helped to fine-tune and optimize these two engines, and then Chrysler helped to produce these two engines for itself?

To be honest, Chen Geng really didn't think about this cooperation model.

For themselves, the biggest advantage of doing this is undoubtedly to avoid the cost of buying land in the early stage, building plants, and purchasing production equipment, a high-standard engine production plant is not like a roadside car repair shop, as long as it is not windy and rainy, even if the air is a little more ups and downs, and the difference in temperature is a little bigger, it doesn't matter, such as Chrysler's large main engine factory, its engine production plant, not only a large number of high-precision CNC machining and production equipment, in the final assembly process, its workshop is a constant temperature, Constant humidity, strict requirements for the cleanliness of the air and the dress of the workers.

This is only the basic requirements for the plant and related production equipment and other hardware, want to produce a qualified, excellent performance engine, the quality of workers is higher, if Fernandez company wants to produce its own engine, not ahead of time investment and cost, want to keep the quality and stability of their own engine, reliability to maintain a level, without a year or two of continuous adjustment are difficult to do, from this point of view, to Chrysler OEM, is indeed the most worry-free, At the same time, it is also the best way to ensure product quality.

But Chen Geng was reluctant to do so.

Other people's is always someone else's, others are not as good as their own, usually nothing, but at some critical moments, others say that you will be stuck in your neck, you have no way at all, but ...... Such a direct refusal?

After thinking for a moment, Chen Geng looked up at Li Iacoca: "Yes, but I have a few conditions. ”

Lee Iacoka nodded suddenly, "You say." ”

Although he didn't know why Chen Geng wanted to make these two engines and refine the conditions for the engines, as a top professional manager who has been well-known in the automotive industry for many years, Lee Iacocca was sure that Chen Geng seemed to have a lot of ambitions, and if he could dispel Chen Geng's idea of self-inspecting the engine production plant, Chrysler could even consider making some concessions.

Chen Geng: "First, these two engines will enter the installation sequence of the 'family' model, and second, the OEM period is three years, and we will discuss whether Chrysler will continue to OEM for us after three years." ”
