Chapter 278: Demon Capital's own son
"Yo Xi! This is the Camry designed by His Excellency Chen Geng, it's really beautiful......
"Camry is very beautiful, but I still prefer this Century, atmospheric, dignified, luxurious, this is what a high-end sedan should look like. ”
"When will our designers in Dongying be able to design such a beautiful and futuristic car, but then again, His Excellency Chen Geng's ability is really admirable, and it is really worthy of His Excellency Chen Geng's ......."
............
Surrounding the Camry, the standard shaft version of the New Century and the long shaft version of the New Century, Honda's designers and executives were full of praise and admiration, feeling that His Excellency Chen Geng is worthy of being the world's top industrial designer, and only he can accurately grasp the pulse of the times and design these two perfect and intoxicating works of art in front of him.
The designers of the Giugiaro design studio are not much better, they were still a little dissatisfied with Chen Geng's halfway "cross-knife love", but at this moment, they were also amazed by the three cars in front of them, and Chen Geng just designed one or two better products by luck, and even they couldn't convince themselves...... This is disrespectful to one's own profession.
Garecio Giugiaro, who came to Huaxia to see the three cars in person, was completely convinced by Chen Geng's ability in car design: "Fernandez, Dongying people are right to choose to cooperate with you, and ...... other."
"If it weren't for the fact that you yourself are the owner of a large company and are not short of money," he said tentatively, I would have done everything I could to convince you to join Giugiaro Design Studio, even if it was to pay half of the shares." ”
Chen Geng understood that the real meaning of Giugiaro's words was not regret, but euphemistically said to Chen Geng, "If Chen Geng is willing to come to my Giugiaro design studio, I can also consider sharing a part of your shares" - that is, he expressed his appreciation for Chen Geng's talent, and at the same time, if Chen Geng is not happy, he will not be too embarrassed.
Chen Geng shook his head with a smile: "That's okay, it's not a good thing for multiple major shareholders in a company to come out, but we can also cooperate, right?"
Faced with Chen Geng's refusal, Giorgiaro laughed: "Haha...... That's right, Fernandez, and I decided to pull out of this project at Honda. ”
"Huh, quit?" Chen Geng was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, quit," Giugiaro said, gesturing to the three cars in front of him, "Before I saw these three cars, I could have the cheekiness to think that Giugiaro Design Studio could play its part in this collaboration, but after seeing these three cars...... Fernández, you're also a car designer, and you should know that with the dignity of a designer, I can't do anything to put my name on such a perfect work. ”
Understood, the designer's self-esteem is at work.
However, as a designer, Chen Geng does know Giugiaro's ideas very well, because if it were him, he would do the same: since it is a cooperative project, it should be that I can contribute my own strength to this project, only if I have sweated and contributed to the project, I can fight for my own interests with peace of mind, but if I do nothing in this project, and then strive for my own benefits, it will become a joke.
They are all people with heads and faces, and even in this industry, they are very well-known in the world, and no one lives on these two jujubes, so why become a joke in the mouths of others and a joke in the eyes of partners for this project?
For Giugiaro, he was indeed very envious of Chen Geng for being able to design such a perfect work, but it was not an honor for him to share his name with Chen Geng on this work, on the contrary, in his opinion, it was a humiliation to himself, so of course, he chose to refuse.
Chen Geng understands Giugiaro's choice very well, because if it were him, he would do the same, not to mention that Giugiaro knew that Honda Jiken was looking for himself at the beginning, so he immediately smiled and nodded: "Okay...... I believe that there will be many opportunities for us to cooperate in the future. ”
Hearing Chen Geng's words, Giugiaro's eyes lit up: "In this case, I just have a project in my hand...... Well, now is not the time to talk about that, let's get back to that. ”
It's really not the time to talk about that. Chen Geng nodded: "I am very much looking forward to the next cooperation." ”
..................
Although he was squeezed out of the car by Chen Geng in the cooperation with Honda Motor Co., Ltd., Giugiaro is Giugiaro, and he could not see a trace of frustration and disappointment on his face, on the contrary, he regarded this meeting with Chen Geng as a rare opportunity to learn, and discussed in a low voice with his subordinates the subtleties of Chen Geng's design and what are the benefits of using this line in that design......
Kume Shizhi, who had been secretly aiming at this side, finally seized the opportunity and struggled to get to Chen Geng's side, and without saying a word, he bowed deeply to Chen Geng: "Chen Jun, thank you very much for opening our eyes and letting us know that the original car can be designed like this, I hope we can cooperate more ......in the future."
Chen Geng stopped the polite words that didn't want money, and kept talking about Kume Shizhi, and said with a smile: "Mr. Kume, you won't just come to congratulate me, right?"
"I'm sorry for the trouble," Kume Shizhi bowed again, the little devil is like this, he obviously came to find Chen Geng to hug his thigh, but he just talked nonsense: "That's the case, for the cooperation proposal you put forward last time, Honda has no opinion, but I hope to make some adjustments in some details." ”
"Mr. Kume, maybe you still haven't figured it out, or maybe I'm not clear enough," looking at Kume Shizhi, Chen Geng sighed: "The conditions I told you last time are not something that can be discussed repeatedly, I don't have so much time, I don't have so much energy, you promise us to cooperate, it doesn't matter if you don't agree, as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't matter if I cooperate with Honda or Toyota......"
Chen Geng is really convinced of the short-sightedness of the little devil's strategic vision: You only see the price you pay, and you haven't calculated how much benefit you can bring to yourself through this cooperation?
“......”
Kumi is stupid, he didn't expect Chen Geng's attitude in this matter to be so tough: the conditions are like this, and he doesn't accept bargaining?
How can you work with people like this?
But looking carefully at Chen Geng's eyes, Kume Shizhi can be sure that Chen Geng is not joking with himself, he is serious, if Honda does not accept his conditions, the cooperation between the two sides will not be reached, not only can it not be achieved, maybe he will also cooperate with Toyota, and Honda, which has always regarded Toyota as its biggest competitor, this situation is absolutely allowed.
"But ......" After thinking about it, Kume decided to work harder: "Chen Gengjun, you must know that a factory with an annual output of 100,000 vehicles and supporting engines and gearboxes requires hundreds of millions of dollars in hardware costs alone, not to mention the soft power of personnel and management, and the price Honda has paid for this is definitely beyond your imagination......"
Without waiting for Kume Ischi to finish speaking, Chen Geng raised his hand: "Mr. Kume, I have already said what I should say, no matter what decision you Honda makes, I support your choice, but what I want to say is that the premise of the cooperation between Honda and Fernandez is like this...... I'm sorry, I still have some things, so I'll miss you first. ”
Looking at Chen Geng's back, Kume hesitated: if Chen Geng resolutely refused to change his cooperation conditions......
............
Ignoring the hesitant little devil, Chen Geng came to the periphery and asked the leaders of the First Machine Department, Modu and Modu Automobile Factory with a smile: "Leaders, are you still satisfied with our products?"
As he spoke, Chen Geng's gaze swept over the crowd: Why didn't Old Man Xie come?
The leaders of the First Machine Department, the Magic City and the Magic City Automobile Factory, you look at me, I look at you, and I don't know how to answer Chen Geng's question for a while.
Many of the leaders present have seen the passat B2 of Wolfsburg cars, and everyone was amazed by this passat B2 of Wolfsburg......
Can't compare, can't compare at all!
It's simply the difference between a country girl in an area that hasn't been lifted out of poverty and an urban fashionable girl.
It's just that I feel pitiful when I say it, as a partner of Fernandez, the leading comrades of the Chinese side were squeezed into the outermost part of the crowd of onlookers, and some comrades wanted to squeeze in to have a look, but looking at the Dongying and Italians gathered inside, they hesitated and hesitated, but they still didn't muster up the courage to squeeze in.
As the deputy director of the Demon City Planning Commission, Jiang Tao didn't have to worry too much about the face factor, and seized the opportunity, he asked Chen Geng in a trembling voice: "Chen Dong, these three cars ...... Are you really planning to produce in Huaxia?"
Chen Geng smiled: "What's the matter? This car is in front of you, you still don't believe it?"
"It's not unbelief, it's ...... It's ......"
Looking up at the group of Italians with shining-eyed eyes on the side, and then at the group of Dongying people who wanted to grow their faces directly on the body, Jiang Tao didn't know what to say.
Chen Geng understood very well why Jiang Tao had such a reaction: the things he took out were too good.
Where is it that something too good doesn't work?
How to say it, to put it simply, it is precisely because Chen Geng took out such a good thing that many people in China, including Jiang Tao, are not confident: such a good thing is given to us, this ...... This one...... Is it really okay?
Also, in this era when the country has just opened its door to see the world, Jiang Tao and others are also the first batch of people in China who really know how big the gap between China and the world is, and they are a group of people who know why the country should carry out reform and opening up and why it must be reformed and opened up, because after comparing the gap between China and the developed countries in the world, they will naturally come to a conclusion: If there is no reform and no opening up, there is only a dead end!
It is really because of the realization of this huge gap, when looking at the gap between China and foreign countries, there are many times when they can not correctly understand this gap, specifically in the introduction of automotive technology, China has never had the luxury of introducing the best foreign products and technologies, everyone's idea is very simple: the introduction of foreign second-rate technology is enough for us to digest.
So it's easy to imagine how apprehensive they are when they see the three products that definitely represent the most advanced car design concepts in the world today, even though their approach to the problem is very problematic in itself.
"Deputy Director Jiang, I can probably understand what you mean," patting Jiang Tao's hand—although the action of a big man patting another big man's hand is a bit disgusting—Chen Gengzheng said: "But please also remember that I am also a descendant of China, and I also hope that my nation can become strong, and I am willing to make some contributions to my nation within my ability." ”
Jiang Tao's eyes suddenly turned red, and there was something called emotion in his heart - from the greedy expressions of these Italians and Dongying people who couldn't wait to directly put these cars in their pockets, they knew that what Chen Geng took out was really good.
After a while, he nodded emphatically: "Mr. Chen, I won't say anything else, anyway...... Although I am not qualified enough, I still want to thank you on behalf of all the sons and daughters of China. ”
After a pause, he said in a low voice: "Mr. Chen, don't worry, this project will be the son of the magic capital in the future." ”
Knowing what Jiang Tao meant, since this project is the son of the magic capital, how can there be any good things that can't help but be the reason of his own son? Chen Geng said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you kiss your son or not, I just hope that this cooperation can go well, don't stumble like this, to be honest, the process of this cooperation is really ......."
Saying that, Chen Geng couldn't help but shake his head, obviously a little helpless about the twists and turns of this cooperation.
Although being cheeky is a compulsory course for every qualified official, Jiang Tao's old face turned red when he heard Chen Geng's complaint: In this cooperation, the performance of the magic city is indeed not very good, especially the individual comrades of the magic city, it is simply to show Chen Geng how to drag the partners back in the process of cooperation.
