"Indeed, there are some things that will trouble you," Ferdinand Piëch did not shirk, and said to Volcker Stanzer: "Mr. Stanzer, can you help me introduce the leaders of the Chinese government departments in charge of the development of the automobile industry?"

As soon as he heard Ferdinand Piëch's request, Volcker Stanzer knew what he was going to do, and nodded happily: "Of course it is fine, but Mr. Piëch, there is something I must remind you of." ”

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"The position of the Yiqi Group in China is very unusual, they are not only a company, but also a government department, and they have promoted the introduction of many policies in the automotive field in Huaxia," said Volker Stexer. "And as far as I know, the leadership of the Huaxia government department in charge of the automobile industry seems to be from the Yiqi Group." ”

"The leader of the Huaxia government department in charge of the automobile industry is from Yiqi?"

Ferdinand Piëch's face is a little unpleasant, and if so, then his previous plan seems to be a little troublesome.

Volcker Stanzer nodded: "I don't know if you know, Yiqi Group is known as the 'eldest son of Huaxia', you should know the weight of this title." ”

Ferdinand Piëch's face became more and more ugly.

In European and American countries, whether in the family or in the royal family, the eldest son is undoubtedly the first heir, and as the first heir, the eldest son enjoys the most abundant resources and training of the family, and is also given high hopes by the whole family.

At this point, Ferdinand Piëch has a little understanding and understanding of why Xu Jiangping dared to put forward such excessive conditions, this is where people's confidence lies.

Aware of this, Ferdinand Piëch solemnly thanked Volker Stexer: "Thank you, Mr. Stancer, your reminder is very important. ”

With this reminder from Volcker Stanzer, in the next negotiations with Yiqi, he can formulate some targeted terms, but without this reminder from Volcker Stanzer, maybe he will have the opportunity to make a big mistake when formulating a negotiation strategy - then again, the reason why this meeting with Xu Jiangping will have such a result is not a mistake caused by underestimating the influence of Yiqi Group in China, especially in the Chinese government?

"You're so polite," said Volcker Stancezer, "and I'm very anxious to see that the American auto companies have made a lot of money in China over the years, while we in Germany have no chance to enter the world's fastest-growing country, with the world's largest population and unlimited potential." ”

After a pause, Walker Stexer hesitated, as if he wanted to say something, but seemed to have some concerns.

How could Ferdinand Piëch not see Volcker Stancer's hesitation? He immediately said to Volker Stancer: "Mr. Stancer, what do you think, just say it. ”

"This ......" Volcker Stanzer hesitated for a moment, but then said: "Mr. Piëch, with the influence of Wolfsburg in Germany, why did you personally come forward to promote this cooperation?

“......”

Ferdinand Piëch was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red and white: he suddenly realized that he seemed to have made a very stupid mistake.

Yes, Wolfsburg Automobile is a private enterprise, but in fact, Wolfsburg Automobile is definitely not just a private enterprise, how simple is it? It is too complicated to avoid the suspicion of water words, so we will say a simple one: the German government has specially formulated a law for Wolfsburg Motors, and this law is called the "Wolfsburg Automobile Company Act".

In addition, as we said earlier, Wolfsburg has three major shareholders, namely the Porsche family, the Piëch family, and the German state government of Lower Saxony, of which the state government of Lower Saxony holds 20% of the shares of Wolfsburg, and one government (well, the local government below) actually holds 20.2% of the shares of a private company, which is inconceivable to people who shout about freedom and fairness all day long, and shout all day long for "full privatization", right?

But what is even more incredible is that the Wolfsburg Automobile Company Law stipulates that the consent of 80% of the shareholders must be obtained for some major matters that determine the development of the company, such as the closure of factories, mergers and acquisitions, the appointment of the chairman of the board, etc.

It's fun to see that 80% of the shareholders agree to implement it, and on the other hand, the 20.2% stake held by the German state government of Lower Saxony, which means that if the state government of Lower Saxony does not agree to the proposal, the proposal cannot be passed.

Got it?

In a way, the state government of Lower Saxony, or to put it more bluntly, the German government has a veto on Wolfsburg cars!

The government has a veto power over a company, and who dares to say that the company is not a state-owned enterprise?

And the chairman of Wolfsburg Motors, who can only take office after being recognized by the German government, will consider the problem from whose point of view?

Speaking of which, it's not difficult to understand what Ferdinand Piëch's attitude is in terms of political leanings, right?

In the real world, a series of magic operations in China that Wolfsburg Automobile in China seem completely incomprehensible to us, if we raise it to the level of national confrontation and national competition, it will suddenly become clear, and all the problems are self-evident.

Well, you can't go any deeper, and if you go any deeper, you have to 404.

In general, as the CEO of a German state-owned enterprise in the guise of a private enterprise, Ferdinand Piëch did not expect to use the power of the state to promote cooperation with Huaxia Yiqi, and in the opinion of Volker Steinzer, Ferdinand Piëch's approach was simply stupid.

Ferdinand Piëch also felt that his move was a bit stupid.

I didn't think it before, but at this moment, after understanding the meaning of Volker Stenzer's words, Ferdinand Piëch's face was really red and white: yes, you can obviously use the power of the government to promote this matter, is it not good for you to hide behind obediently and let the government come forward? Why do you have to jump out and come forward in person? I also worked overtime in person, and the most depressing thing is that I was still swelled by someone, which is really ...... Is......

He could already imagine how his cousin Wolfgang Porsche would laugh at him when he returned to Germany.
