Chapter 243: Overconfidence

"Why?" Chen Geng was very unhappy, he never felt that there was anything wrong with the brand logo he designed: "I think our logo is very beautiful." ”

Pretty?!

The two have wanted to complain about their logo for a long time, and they really can't associate their brand logo composed of the English letters "C" and "F" with the word "beautiful", and at this moment, they can't help it anymore.

"Boss, I wonder if you remember the 'unicorn' version of the Ford Mustang we sold earlier?" Anderson couldn't help but ask.

"Of course I remember," Chen Geng nodded.

How could he not remember? Not only did he remember, but he could remember some interesting things that happened during that time.

"I can even remember the names of the vast majority of 'unicorn' users. Chen Geng said to Anderson: "Many of those 'unicorn' users are our loyal users, and they have even brought us a lot of business. ”

Anderson nodded, in this matter, he admired his boss is really amazing, with the boss's various novel publicity and promotion methods, and most importantly, the avant-garde modification concept, Fernandez's "Devil's Claw" is already a well-known car tuning factory brand near Detroit and in the United States, "Devil's Claw" Not only has it become the first choice for many car enthusiasts in Michigan to modify, but even many car enthusiasts in the East Coast and West Coast regions have come to visit, in the words that became more popular a few years later, "the 'devil' has its own group of die-hard fans".

"Did you know that all the users of our first batch of unicorns have been replaced with the logos of the second batch of 'crystal unicorns'?" asked Anderson to Chen Geng.

"Is there such a thing?" Chen Geng was stunned, he really didn't know about this - yes, after all, it was not a big deal.

Like Hennessy and Babos, which are well-known independent modification brands, "Devil's Claw" will not only tailor modifications for customers, but also launch its own brand of "production version" modified cars based on a production car in order to build brand image and popularity, and will replace the manufacturer's logo on the car with its own logo - which is also allowed by US law - such as the 500 "unicorn" production modified versions based on the Ford Mustang sports car launched by the Detroit Modified Car Grand Prix, The logos of the 500 Mustang have all been changed from Ford's own "Wild Mustang" logo to the "Unicorn with its head held high" in the claws of the devil.

Compared with Ford's original Mustang sports car, these 500 "unicorn" versions of the Mustang modified by the "devil's claws" not only strengthen the power, braking system, and chassis. The handling of the vehicle has been improved, and more importantly, Chen Geng has designed a unique aerodynamic package and paint color for this batch of "unicorns".

The appearance of the "Unicorn" Mustang at the Detroit Tuning Car Competition was amazing, even if there was no existing car, even if you had to pay a deposit equivalent to 10% of the total price to order, even if the delivery time was three months later, and even if the "Unicorn" Mustang was almost 30% more expensive than the original Ford Mustang...... But it still can't stop the love of car enthusiasts across the United States for the "unicorn" version of the Mustang, and 500 "unicorn" version of the Mustang were sold out in less than a month.

However, the market's love for this version of the Ford Mustang modified by Chen Geng exceeded everyone's expectations, and after 500 "unicorn" versions were not sold out, Fernandez still received a steady stream of calls asking for orders for the "unicorn" version of the Mustang, and even crazy car enthusiasts from California rushed to Detroit in person, hoping to persuade Chen Geng to order a "unicorn".

In order to maintain the label's B grid, the first version of the "unicorn" version of the Mustang is impossible to mass-produce, but it is impossible to put money without making money, Chen Geng designed the second version of the "unicorn": the crystal unicorn.

The biggest feature of the second version of the crystal unicorn is that the material of the logo - a unicorn with a head held high - has been replaced with artificial crystal from the previous chrome metal, and it has some exclusive designs, but in general it is not much different from the first version.

Having learned the lessons of the first edition, Chen Geng raised the total number of units to 1,500 units while keeping the price of the "Crystal Unicorn" largely unchanged – the result was that it was still sold out in less than two months.

Speaking of which, Anderson said: "Almost all of our users love the second version of 'Crystal Unicorn', and even many users who buy the first version of 'Unicorn' would rather pay for a crystal unicorn logo to replace it, but so far none of us have chosen the logo you designed that is composed of the letters C and F......

boss, you should replace the logo of our company's products with the crystal unicorn, I think that CF is good as our company's headquarters logo. ”

Looking at Chen Geng with a sincere face, Anderson almost pointed to Chen Geng's nose and said, "Boss, except for the logo composed of the letters C and F, no one thinks this logo is good-looking."

"That's ......"

Chen Geng is not a person who can't listen to other people's advice, he thought seriously for a moment, and felt that the crystal unicorn was indeed better than the letters, and the little devil was the letter control, and finally nodded: "OK, you ask Miss Rosemary, if Miss Rosemary has no opinion, then use the crystal unicorn as our car logo." ”

Would Rosemary disagree?

Of course not!

She had been unhappy for a long time when she looked at the letter mark designed by Chen Geng.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Although the decision had been made to cooperate with Fernandez, it was not known whether it was the negligence of the staff or some other reason, and no one informed Wolfsburg about it.

For example, now, it is 9 o'clock in the morning Munich time, and Carl Hahnbosch, chairman of Wolfsburg Automobiles, who has just arrived at the office, received a call from Grayhead, the head of Wolfsburg's liaison team in China.

Listening to Grehead's report over the phone, Dr. Karl Hahn's jaw dropped to the ground: "Mr. Grayhead, are you sure you're not joking with me? Are you sure the Huaxia people are not joking with us?!"

Huaxia decided to abandon Wolfsburg and cooperate with the American company Fernandez instead...... Are you kidding!

Karl Hahn thinks it's the biggest joke he's ever heard this year!

What kind of company is Fernandes? It is a tuning factory like AMG and Babos, which are German car modification companies, and the boss of Fernandez is quite good at car design, but he doesn't look down on Fernandes, he knows how difficult it is to want to mass-produce a car on a large scale and ensure the quality of the product?

Also, Chinese people, have you made a mistake, car modification and large-scale industrial production of cars are the same thing?

The Chinese abandoned Wolfsburg in favor of a tuning factory, which Karl Hahn can describe in just two words: hehe...... This little conspiracy of the Chinese people is really too clumsy.

"Sir, I've checked with our friends in the Demon Capital," on the phone, Grahide reported to Carl Hahn in a deep voice: "Our friends in the Demon Capital said that the Huaxia high-level officials are very dissatisfied with our attitude......

"I remember you seem to have told me before that the Huaxia government has been interested in bringing in a company to induce us to sign a contract with the Demon Capital as soon as possible?" Karl Hahn suddenly interrupted Grayhead and asked.

"Like...... There is such a thing," Greyhead was stunned for a moment, and then reacted at once.

He remembered what his friend who was the secretary of the Third Bureau of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering of Magic City had told him: Huaxia was very dissatisfied with Wolfsburg's procrastination and was preparing to introduce another automobile manufacturing plant in order to stimulate Wolfsburg to sign a contract as soon as possible. Thinking of this, Greyhead hurriedly said, "You mean, this is a smoke bomb released by the Huaxia people?"

"I can't think of any other reason other than this," Carl Hahn, who felt that he had seen through the conspiracy of the Huaxia people at once, smiled very happily: "I have to say that the Huaxia people still have some ideas, but their skills are too clumsy......

It would be fine if they chose a giant like Chrysler, and at worst, AMC could do it, but Fernandez......? FernΓ‘ndez ......"

Karl Hahn's tone was full of disdain: the Huaxia government was reluctant to ask for a weighty trust even if it asked.

Greyhead felt the same way, and he was even ashamed that he had disturbed the chairman's good mood: "Then we ......"

"There is no need to make any moves," Karl Hahn said confidently: "Mr. Greyhead, you must understand that the more the Chinese people make small moves at this time, the more it means that their psychology has collapsed to the extreme, hoping to use this way to add a little pressure to us, hoping that we can back down, but if we still grit our teeth at this time and do not let go......"

Grahair duly took over his boss's words: "That's when they'll have to agree to our terms." ”

This sentence is very sycophant, no, this is a sycophant at all, but Grayhead's sycophant slap is very comfortable for Carl Hahn, and he laughs and says, "That's right, that's it." ”

"Okay, I know what to do," Greyhead let out of his throat: "Boss, rest assured, I assure you that this will never happen again." ”

"Hmm......" Karl Hahn replied, and at the same time commanded: "Although we are now hanging on the appetite of the Chinese government, we must remember to contact the feelings of contact, this kind of small money does not need to be saved, understand?"

Greyhead: "Yes. ”

Karl Hahn, who just hung up the phone contentedly, didn't know what a serious mistake it was to be overconfident at the moment.
