"Boss, I believe you will be very happy to hear it. Holding a folder, Mirren, dressed as an office OL, said to Chen Geng with a smile.

"Oh, what's the news?"

Chrysler held a press conference announcing that the daily sales of the 'family' exceeded 700 units to 713 units, and the total annual sales are expected to exceed 260,000 units...... Boss, congratulations, you've made a fortune. Mirren knew the general content of the VAM agreement signed between his boss and Chrysler, and if the annual sales of Chrysler's "family" could really exceed 260,000 vehicles, the boss would make a fortune.

There is money to be made, of course Chen Geng is very happy, he nodded happily: "It is indeed good news." ”

He could almost imagine why Lee Iacocca was holding a press conference specifically for this matter, nine out of ten to stimulate Henry Ford, who swept him away: "What if you kicked Lao Tzu out of Ford? A year later, Lao Tzu is a good man again!

"There's even better news," Mirren opened the folder and handed Chen Geng a document, "Ford is probably stimulated and invites you to design a car for them that can be compared to the 'family'...... This invitation is addressed to you personally by Mr. Henry Ford. ”

Henry Ford personally sent an invitation to himself? To be honest, Chen Geng was really a little surprised: "It seems that Mr. Henry Ford was not lightly stimulated. ”

While speaking, he took the document handed over by Mirren and quickly scanned it, saying that it was a document, but it was actually a letter of intent to cooperate with Chen Geng in the name of the chairman's office of Ford Motor Co., Ltd., first congratulating Chen Geng on the success of "family", and then entering the main topic, saying that Ford hopes to cooperate with Chen Geng to design a car that can meet the needs of the American people in the current oil crisis - in a word, see "family" With such a hot sale in the American market, Chrysler made a lot of money, fame and fortune, and Ford Motor was red-eyed.

Is this business going to work?

Why don't you take it? If you have money to make, you don't do it for fools!

Chen Geng instructed: "Help me reply to Ford, just say that I am very interested in cooperating with Ford, a great company." ”

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

The great success of the "family" sedan jointly designed by Chen Geng and Chrysler (in the eyes of the Chinese side) in the United States, as well as the huge sensation caused by the press conference held by Lee Iacoca, were sent back to China by the Chinese Embassy in the United States as quickly as possible.

"Wolfsburg Motor's passat B2 has not yet been officially mass-produced, and it is difficult to say what the specific prospect will be, but the Chrysler 'family' is already a car that has been tested by the market and has been proven to be an excellent car, and I think that under the premise that Wolfsburg Automobile has insisted on launching cooperation, it is necessary to carefully consider the necessity of cooperation with Fernandez and Chrysler Motors. At the regular meeting on Monday, Zhang Changmou, deputy director of the Automobile Bureau of the First Machine Department and the direct person in charge of the SAIC Wolf Castle project, solemnly raised this topic.

The expressions of the leaders attending the meeting suddenly became serious.

Everyone knew in their hearts that although these words came out of Zhang Changmou's mouth, they were actually the meaning of their own boss and even the leaders above.

Jiang Tao, deputy director of the Magic City Planning Commission and representative of the Magic City of the SAIC Wolfburg Project, who was specially invited to attend the meeting, was the first to raise his hand: "Do I understand these words as: If the cooperation with the German Wolfsburg Group is doomed, then we will give up the cooperation with the Wolfsburg Group and formally seek cooperation with the Americans." ”

Zhang Changmou nodded: "It can be understood so." ”

"But it took us so much effort to talk to the Wolfsburg Group about the current level, so wouldn't our previous efforts be in vain?" Jiang Tao was suddenly a little anxious, and the Demon Capital also had its own little abacus in it.

But for the attitude of the magic capital, the first machine department was not happy, and Hu Liang, director of the automobile bureau, glanced at Feng Zhen.

Feng Zhen immediately retorted: "Progress? Comrade Jiang Tao, I think that our negotiations with the Germans are not only not progress, but regression...... The total production capacity has been reduced from 150,000 units planned at the beginning to 60,000 units now, and the Germans are still making all kinds of excuses and reasons to excuse themselves and not sign contracts with us.

“......”

Jiang Tao was speechless.

This is a fact, and it cannot be denied that we agreed to build a production base with an annual output of 150,000 vehicles, but when you said that the oil crisis broke out and we were ready to abandon this cooperation, we repeatedly backed down and reduced the total production capacity from 150,000 to 120,000, and from 120,000 to 100,000 and 80,000...... Now it's down to 60,000 units, and the Germans still refuse to agree, putting on an attitude of "I just don't want to play with you anymore" - if you don't play, you should have said it earlier, this has wasted nearly a year!

But Jiang Tao was not so simply asked by Feng Zhen, and after being speechless for a while, he immediately ridiculed him: "Now we can still talk to the Germans about the annual production capacity of 60,000 yuan, but as far as I know, Mr. Chen Geng seems to be not optimistic about the export of this project from the beginning, right?"

This time Feng Zhen was speechless.

Chen Geng from the beginning is not optimistic about the project can export to earn foreign exchange, his point of view is that it does not matter whether the project can be exported to earn foreign exchange, the important thing is to promote the development of domestic related industries, especially the auto parts industry through this project, through the export of auto parts to foreign countries, the "loss" of not being able to export cars to earn foreign exchange is pulled back, which is equivalent to a disguised export of foreign exchange.

This method is not wrong, and it may not be less than the direct export of vehicles, but the problem is that from the perspective of B grid and word of mouth, how can there be export parts to export vehicles to B grid?

Why is the magic capital not willing to cooperate with Chen Geng, but insists on talking with the Germans, even if the Germans' attitude is so firm, they are still "infatuated"?

To put it bluntly, the careful thinking of the magic capital is not willing to be a "behind-the-scenes hero": this kind of good thing to earn foreign exchange and be in the limelight, why do you give you these deflated three? Even if it is in the limelight, it should be our big demon capital in the limelight, otherwise how can it bring out the bull X of my big demon capital?

This little bit of caution in the magic capital can't be wrong, who doesn't want to be in the limelight, after all, being a "behind-the-scenes hero" always doesn't have the scenery and face of the "hero in front of the stage", and there is an opportunity to be a "hero in front of the stage", who is willing to be a "behind-the-scenes hero"?

Moreover, politics and resources have always been grabbed, and there is no time to be gentle and frugal—why am I silently dedicating myself in the back? Why can't I enjoy the cheers and applause of the crowd?

But Feng Zhen's reaction is also very fast, and he can be elected by the boss of the department to "make trouble", Feng Zhen's brain reaction speed is naturally not covered: "Mr. Chen Geng's suggestion can not only make the country have more convenient channels for exporting foreign exchange, but also improve the domestic industrial strength and processing capacity, and improve the overall level of China's industry...... At the very least, it's much better than the idea of making people a stepping stone. ”

As soon as the "stepping stone" statement came out, the faces of several people in the conference room changed slightly at the same time, especially the comrades in the magic capital, who writhed twice unnaturally: the proposal to use the "family" car as a stepping stone to promote cooperation with the Germans was the first thing they put forward.

It's just that this remark is a bit "disregarding the overall situation", Hu Liang also had to come forward to suppress it, he coughed lightly: "Let me convey to you the meaning of the leaders: This matter cannot continue to drag on unprincipledly, and must be resolved as soon as possible." ”

As soon as Hu Liang said this, everyone quickly realized that the attitude of the top leaders on this matter had been determined: that is, if the Germans still think that they are strange goods, then we are not used to him.

The comrades of the First Aircraft Department suddenly looked a little excited: they have long been fed up with the arrogance of the Germans and the bird's spirit of the nostrils!

But the comrades of the First Aircraft Department thought that they didn't have to suffer from the Germans' bird anger, but the comrades in the magic capital were not happy, Jiang Tao's face changed slightly, and he was about to open his mouth to defend a few words, but before he could speak, Hu Liang continued: "But no matter who you choose to cooperate with in the end, this production base must be placed in the magic capital." ”

The Demon Capital has made a great contribution to the development of Huaxia, and their attitude must certainly be carefully considered.

Hearing this, Jiang Tao hesitated for a moment, and finally didn't speak.

Previously, the Germans thought that all export business should be cancelled and only the domestic market should be retained, although the magic capital has not agreed, but if the situation continues to develop like this, it is likely to evolve to this point...... Since in the end, they can only develop the domestic market, the difference between choosing Wolfsburg's passat B2 and Chrysler's "family" is not very big.

Jiang Tao didn't speak, but Qiu Ke raised his hand: "Hu Ju, I have a question." ”

Hu Liang nodded: "You say." ”

"Has our Automobile Bureau communicated with Mr. Chen Geng about this, and what does he mean?" Qiu Ke asked, "As far as I know, Mr. Chen Geng seems to be ...... to us because of some previous incidents Hmmm......"

He still remembered that the Demon Capital was going to visit the United States, and he was going to ask Chen Geng to send an invitation letter, but Chen Geng refused, and he began to give Chen Geng eye medicine at this time.
