Chapter 499: It's Time to Harvest the Fruit

Seeing that Chen Geng agreed so happily, Jack Welch's spirits perked up.

He never doubted his boss's talent in car design, and what he was most worried about before was that his boss was so busy with his work, would he have enough time to do it? But now, since the boss agreed, it was not a problem. Now, he can't wait to hear his boss's second condition.

"The second point," Chen Geng raised his second finger: "I want you to ensure our own development at the same time, and strive to squeeze the living space of Japanese cars, this squeeze is not only limited to the North American market, you want to squeeze the living space and market share of Japanese cars in Europe and Asia at the same time." ”

Well?

I didn't expect the boss to make such a request, Jack Welch was stunned and couldn't help asking, "Why?"

He couldn't figure it out, AMC is the only one of the four major American car brands that has carried out in-depth cooperation with the Dongying automobile industry, Mr. Fernandez not only asked Toyota and Mazda to help him OEM the purple miata sports car that is now red in the American market, and even cooperated with Honda in an all-round way, he has always thought that the relationship between the boss and the Dongying people is very harmonious, and he didn't think it was strange, after all, the boss and the Dongying people are both yellow, right? But now the boss actually said to himself that he asked himself to comprehensively squeeze the living space of Japanese cars on a global scale?

"No why, just ask if you can do it?"

Chen Geng can't tell Jack Welch that Dongying has entered the "lost 20 years" after the Plaza Agreement, but thanks to the globalization of their highly developed automobile industry, the entire Dongying electronics industry, semiconductor industry, machinery industry, and precision processing industry ...... The suppression of Dongying's automobile industry is basically equivalent to the suppression of Dongying's overall industry, why not do this kind of thing that harms others and benefits oneself?

Although he didn't understand why the boss did this, since the boss asked for it and he didn't need to make major adjustments, he shrugged: "OK, you're the boss, you have the final say...... What else?"

"No more. ”

Jack Welch smiled, "No, can I make a few requests?"

"You say. ”

If you want the donkey to pull the cart, you can't help but give the donkey grazing, Chen Geng understands this truth, but in Chen Geng's opinion, the bonus problem is actually the least problem, after all, when he first dug Jack Welch, the calculation method of the bonus has been agreed with Jack Welch.

What Jack Welch wants to say to Chen Geng is indeed not a question of bonuses: "Boss, to achieve these goals, we must establish our brand image and technical image ......"

Before Jack Welch finished speaking, Chen Geng had already suddenly realized: "Oh, you want to make a high-performance car?"

Jack Welch's approach is actually not unexpected by Chen Geng, or his approach is also the common practice of all automobile companies in Europe and the United States: by manufacturing high-performance vehicles, participating in high-level automobile events to tell the public the technical content and quality of their products, as early as the fifties and sixties, AMC cars have also participated in many automobile events, but after entering the 70s, AMC's financial situation continued to deteriorate, and there was no financial support for AMC to do so, so it had to launch major automobile events.

This has also become a big piece of evidence that AMC's competitors are attacking AMC: you see, AMC can't even participate in these competitions, let alone what rankings they have won in various international competitions, do you think this brand is still trustworthy?

AMC can't defend himself because he didn't play in these tournaments, but now, Jack Welch intends to change that.

"Yes," Jack Welch nodded, and at the same time looked directly at Chen Geng: "And I hope that you will lead the research and development of this car......"

"No problem. Without waiting for Jack Welch to finish speaking, Chen Geng happily agreed.

“......”

Jack Welch was a little confused: The boss agreed so neatly?

"Maybe I didn't make it clear?" Jack Welch said to Chen Geng euphemistically, "Boss, do you understand what I mean?" and said: "What I want is an ordinary civilian car, I want a high-performance sports car with excellent performance and potential, which can participate in various competitions and win awards in competitions......"

Chen Geng interrupted Jack Welch's words and said with a smile that I didn't understand what I meant to you: "What I want to do is a car that can win awards in all competitions...... Well, now there are some voices saying that I don't live up to my name, I can't be considered the world's top car designer, and I can only design some grocery shopping cars, so it's a coincidence that I'm also going to design a very powerful performance car to slap some media in the face. ”

Jack Welch suddenly wanted to sing happily!

Of course, he still knows the arguments that the boss said, as AMC gradually came out of the quagmire and gained a firm foothold in the market, some friends with a declining market share could not sit still, and after they could not attack the quality of AMC's products, they began to turn their guns and attack Chen Geng's design level, saying that Chen Geng is not worthy of being compared with the top international automobile design masters such as Giugiaro and Broadcom, because Chen Geng's designs are ordinary family cars and pickup trucks, even if the miata sports car designed is just a " small toys", there is no recognized top product.

For this kind of deliberately put forward an argument by himself, and then find arguments to support his argument, which seems reasonable, but in fact deliberately leads people astray, although Jack Welch and AMC are very annoyed, but there is no good way for a while, no way, who let Chen Geng really not design a high-end enough, or good enough performance model.

But now, Mr. Fernández seems to have been outraged by this remark, and he decided to make a car with excellent performance......

I'll see how you die!

"Shh......h

Jack Welch sighed: Having a boss with outstanding talent who doesn't like to dictate the management of the company is really the happiest treatment of a professional manager, since that's the case......

"Boss, can you convince Mr. Ferruccio Lamborghini to sell us Lamborghini?" Jack Welch said suddenly: "If we can buy Lamborghini, it will also be very helpful to establish our brand image and height." ”

hat?!

Convince Ferruccio Lamborghini that old stubborn to sell Lamborghini to himself?

Chen Geng subconsciously shook his head: "This is impossible, you don't know how bastard that old guy is Ferruccio Lamborghini......"

Himself and Ferruccio Lamborghini's old guy has not been dealing with it for a day or two, and he is almost familiar with the old guy, and the guy sees Lamborghini as if he is his own eyeballs, and no one is allowed to touch it at all, even if he is now a shareholder of Lamborghini, and has injected capital into Lamborghini several times, but how can it be, in addition to handing over the general agency of Lamborghini in North America to himself, he is not allowed to meddle in the operation and management of Lamborghini at all. This Lamborghini guy is a rock in a thatched pit - smelly and hard.

But Jack Welch laughed: "Boss, I know that Mr. Ferruccio Lamborghini is not very easy to deal with, even if you are a shareholder of Lamborghini, he does not give you enough respect, but now the situation is different, do you know how many cars Lamborghini has sold this year as of last month?"

Chen Geng shook his head, because Lamborghini's financial situation was bad, although Ferruccio Lamborghini had always provided him with Lamborghini's financial information, but Chen Geng was no longer in the mood to look at it: Lamborghini was the only project among all his investments that did not make money and lost money.

"18," Jack Welch said with a happy smile, "Sir, you are a Lamborghini shareholder, you should know what this number means for Lamborghini." ”

Chen Geng is not so dark that he can't afford to lose this little money, but when he hears this number, he still has the urge to beat up Ferruccio Lamborghini: Although Lamborghini has never been a car brand known for its production, it only sold 18 cars in five months, and you Ferruccio Lamborghini is also a talent!

Looking at the expression of his boss, Jack Welch smiled more and more happily: "I have reliable information that Mr. Ferruccio Lamborghini has begun to sell the property in his hands in order to keep Lamborghini...... Boss, you should know what this means. ”

Chen Geng groaned.

As Jack Welch said, of course, he knows what happens to the company when the majority shareholder of a company starts to sell the property without the second shareholder, and in this way, it means that after so many years of hard cultivation, it is finally time to reap the fruits, but Jack Welch is ready to step in and intervene......

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

PS: Sorry brothers, please wait a few minutes.

Looking at the expression of his boss, Jack Welch smiled more and more happily: "I have reliable information that Mr. Ferruccio Lamborghini has begun to sell the property in his hands in order to keep Lamborghini...... Boss, you should know what this means. ”

Chen Geng groaned.

As Jack Welch said, of course, he knows what happens to the company when the majority shareholder of a company starts to sell the property without the second shareholder, and in this way, it means that after so many years of hard cultivation, it is finally time to reap the fruits, but Jack Welch is ready to step in and intervene......
