Chen Geng thought that this matter might be more troublesome, but the development of the matter was beyond Chen Geng's expectations, and on the third day, someone from Huaxia Automobile Industry Corporation came to consult Chen Geng about his plan to invest in cars and motorcycles in Huaxia.

"I'm not going to make a sedan, it's not an off-road vehicle, it's a commercial vehicle. ”

"Business...... Commercial vehicles?" Director Liang and Director He of China Automobile Industry Corporation couldn't help but look at each other.

After receiving an official letter from the Ministry of Aviation Industry yesterday that Chen Geng was planning to set up an industrial group integrating motorcycle and motorcycle engine manufacturing, automobile engine and automobile manufacturing to solve the employment problem of the tertiary production office personnel of the Hafei Plant and Chengfa Plant, and hoped that the China Automobile General Assembly would cooperate and solve the problem, the China Automobile Industry Corporation did not dare to slack off and immediately held a meeting to discuss this matter.

On the one hand, Chen Geng's cooperation project with the Ministry of Aviation Industry was personally named and focused on by the chief executive, and all departments must cooperate, but on the other hand, FAW and SAIC are the sons of China Automobile Industry Corporation, and you Chen Geng have already cooperated with FAW, SAIC, and Chang'an, and cooperation with BAIC is also being negotiated. , change the surname to "Chen".

Can you directly refuse Chen Geng?

They really don't have that much courage

In the end, it was the big boss of China Automobile Industry Corporation who slapped the table: "No matter what, let's go and understand the situation first, but in any case, it is impossible to have a car." ”

A word woke up the person in the dream, and the leaders of China Automobile Industry Corporation, large and small, reacted at once: Yes, it is impossible for you Chen Geng to produce cars, and it is absolutely not allowed, but on the contrary, if you don't produce cars, then we are not indiscussable.

But now, Chen Geng personally said that he does not plan to produce cars, but plans to produce commercial vehicles?

In fact, Chen Geng knew very well that before 2000, the sensitivity of the domestic automobile industry management agency to sedans, relatively, in the field of pickups, off-road vehicles and commercial vehicles, the sensitivity was much lower, and he had already prepared to take out some information: "These cars are the models we are going to put into production next...... If the Chinese government can allow us to invest. ”

Director He and Director Liang hurriedly took over the information.

Said to be information, in fact, it is a few models marked with the size of the body color three views, the first color map is a square model, different from the front of the car, the back of a car with a butt sedan structure, this car is a standard single compartment structure, looks like a big bread.

Van?

Director Liang and Director He hurriedly looked at the body size marked above, the length, width and height were 3800mm*1510mm*1820mm, and the wheelbase was 2500mm, not to mention that compared with the new century with a body length of nearly 5 meters introduced by SAIC from AMC, even compared with SAIC's original SH760, it is far inferior.

Looking at the curb weight, it is less than 1 ton, only 970 kg.

Don't look at the number of passengers, as the middle-level leaders of Huaxia Automobile Industry Corporation, the two are no strangers to this kind of model, isn't it the "little bread" running on Dongying Street? Well, this kind of car is actually also available in the United States and the Soviet Union, but the vans of the Americans and the Soviets are much larger than the vans of Dongying, the body size is basically more than 5 meters, and the entry-level engine is also a 3.6-liter displacement in-line six-cylinder engine, unlike Dongying little devils, basically equipped with a stingy in-line three-cylinder engine with a displacement of 0.8 liters or less.

Although this is only the first page of information, seeing this page of information, the two of them suddenly have a bottom in their hearts: Well, Chen Geng didn't embarrass us, he didn't plan to produce cars.

That's it!

The next few pages of color pictures did not disappoint Director He and Director Liang, respectively, a single-row micro-truck and double-row micro-truck developed on the basis of a van, a jeep and a serious business car, this business car is also very familiar to the two, is the hottest business car GL8 of AMC company.

Seeing this, the two were completely relieved: the cars that Chen Geng planned to produce in China did not have any conflict of interest with giants such as FAW, FAW, and SAIC.

Director Liang, who breathed a sigh of relief, cautiously asked Chen Geng, "Mr. Chen, do you really only plan to produce these kinds of cars?"

"Yes, Mr. Chen," Director He, who understood his colleague's worries very well, followed up without waiting for Chen Geng's answer: "With all due respect, this ...... In fact, cars are more profitable......"

Chen Geng smiled, he didn't go around in circles with the two, and said bluntly: "If I really put the car into production, can you approve it?"

"Uh...... Hehe......"

"Hehehe......"

Director Liang and Director He laughed awkwardly: Approval? Don't be kidding, although I don't dare to say that I will definitely not approve it, but without three or five years of time and effort, I'm afraid it's really difficult.

Chen Geng didn't care about himself, and explained casually: "I build these cars, not because of how much money I can make, but to solve the problem of more than 3,000 tertiary workers in Hafei Factory and Chengfa Factory, and by the way, make some money so that Hafei Factory and Chengfa Factory can be self-sufficient...... You can't just let me feed them all by myself, can you?"

These words are tantamount to telling the two of them in disguise, "I don't mean to make a car".

Knowing what Chen Geng meant, both of them breathed a sigh of relief, and Director Liang immediately said: "If this is the case, Mr. Chen, you can rest assured, although I dare not guarantee the final result, but the cooperation project between you and Hafei Factory and Chengfa Factory is wearing a hat, and our China Automobile Industry Corporation will fully cooperate." ”

Chen Geng wanted to ask with a bad taste, "Then what if I make a car?", but this kind of bad taste still didn't come out after all, and everyone had already hinted that it was so obvious, why bother to find that unhappy? He nodded with a smile: "Then thank you two." ”

With that, he beckoned to Kelly Hicks.

Kelly Hicks handed him two beautiful cardboard boxes.

Looking at the two exquisite cardboard boxes in Chen Geng's hands, Director He and Director Liang were startled and hurriedly waved their hands: "Mr. Chen, we don't ......"

"A little worthless care," without waiting for the two to finish, Chen Geng stuffed the boxes into their hands one by one: "Don't refuse when I'm a friend." ”

"Uh......"

If the person who said this was anyone else, Director He and Director Liang had dozens of ways to deal with it, but when the person who said this became Chen Geng, although they knew that this was just the other party's greetings and politeness, the two of them were quite flattered in their hearts: Chen Geng said it to this point, and it would not be good for him to refuse again, right?

The two subconsciously looked down at the carton in their hands, in fact, it was not a big deal, a wallet, a lighter, but there was a "Zippo" logo on the lighter, and the wallet was two capital English letters "LV".

As the middle-level leaders of Huaxia Automobile Industry Corporation, the two are also well-informed, and they know very well what these two signs mean: don't look at it as a lighter and a wallet, but it's really not cheap.

But the two of them were not embarrassed, and even had some joy on their faces.

As early as last year, the top management issued an internal notice, in order to better do a good job in attracting investment, for this kind of small gifts given by foreign investors can be accepted first, and it is not a violation of discipline, but it is necessary to report and review the value of gifts given by foreign investors after returning to the unit.

In view of this, both of them had some joy on their faces.

Director Liang deliberately hesitated for a moment before he said carefully: "That...... Thank you, Mr. Chen, for the gift. ”

"What's polite," Chen Geng waved his hand with a smile: "Please pay more attention to this project." ”

"Definitely, definitely. ”

Director Liang and Director He nodded busily.

..............................

As Chen Geng thought, after determining that all Chen Geng wanted to do was vans, micro trucks, commercial vehicles and jeeps, and that commercial vehicles and jeeps would take a few years to be introduced, and waiting for the production skills of the workers of the Hafei Factory and Chengfa Plant to be more proficient, the leaders of Huaxia Automobile Industry Corporation and the leaders at the higher levels had no opinions at all, and the "pro-sons" of FAW, SAIC, and BAIC did not interfere with it, and the project was quickly approved.

It's just that although the project has been approved, with the project approval process in this era, even if all departments are green lights, there is no three or five months or even half a year to complete the process, but this has nothing to do with Chen Geng, after determining that Chen Geng does have the sincerity to help solve the employment problem of the tertiary production personnel of Hafei Factory and Chengfa Factory, the whole cooperation project has no fetters, and it is smooth like running at a speed of 180 kilometers per hour on the highway that has just been repaired, and the process can be described as a thousand miles in a day.

At this time, the internal discussion of the Dutch Fokker company on whether to develop a new generation of F28 or to upgrade the technology on the basis of the current F28 finally divided a winner: in the case of determining Chen Geng's shares, and the amount of shares is not less than 200 million US dollars, the "new R&D faction" has the upper hand, and in the board of directors vote, it overwhelmingly defeated the "current F28 technology upgrade faction".

As soon as the meeting ended, Anthony Falk, who was overjoyed, dialed Chen Geng's phone and couldn't wait to express that he was eager to communicate with Chen Geng on cooperation matters.
