Chapter 787: Bosch: Vulgar Yankee!
"Scare you?" no, no, no," Chen Geng shook his head with a smile: "I never threaten anyone, I just tell them: I am a person who advocates fair competition under a free economy, but if some people think that they have a good relationship with the government and want to play with me with off-the-board tricks, I will not be polite to him." ena`com”
“……”
I don't know why, Robert Schneider suddenly felt a little cold on his body: also, how can a billionaire who has grown from nothing to now billions of dollars in just a few years be a good stubble?
It's just that just when Robert Schneider felt that his trip to the United States was going to be in vain, Chen Geng's words made Robert Schneider swallow back the words he originally planned to leave......
"However, it is not impossible for us to cooperate. ”
Well?!
Robert Schneider cautiously asked Chen Geng, "Mr. Fernandez, what do you mean ......?"
If Robert Schneider still subconsciously had a bit of arrogance in his heart because of Chen Geng's age and skin color, then at this moment, after being cleaned up by Chen Geng one after another, Robert Schneider no longer dared to underestimate Chen Geng, of course he hoped to establish a cooperative relationship with AMC, but also hoped that Chen Geng's conditions would not be too excessive.
"I mean, AMC is going to increase its investment in the European market, and AMC's goal is to become one of the most influential and even popular car brands in the European market, so ......"
There is no need to "so", Chen Geng said here, Robert Schneider instantly understood what Chen Geng meant: for AMC, which aims to expand its market share in the European market, it is an inevitable choice for AMC to gain a firm foothold in Europe and continue to expand its market share.
Realizing this, Robert Schneider's eyes instantly became eager: although Bosch is not the world's largest auto parts supplier, but it is the largest auto parts supplier in Europe, if AMC wants to choose an auto parts supplier in Europe to cooperate, then who is the biggest possibility?
Bosch, Continental, Schaeffler, ZF, Mahle, Krupp, BASF, Autoliv, Gesstamp ......
Among these world-renowned names, the most likely is of course Bosch, which ranks first in Europe.
Of course, the biggest possibility is actually to establish long-term cooperative relations with some or a dozen of these well-known auto parts suppliers.
But it doesn't matter!
Importantly, Bosch is one of them.
"Of course, of course," Robert Schneider's face was full of eagerness and excitement: "Mr. Fernández, I guarantee that Bosch will provide AMC with the best quality products at the best price and the fastest response speed, and if our two companies can establish a cooperative relationship, I guarantee that AMC will be our most valued customer of Bosch......"
Although Robert Schneider was very courteous, this obviously could not impress Chen Geng, he waved his hand: "No, no, no, Mr. Schneider, I didn't mean that." ”
Well?!
That's not what it means?
Robert Schneider was stunned, could it be that Fernandez Chen was not satisfied with our Bosch's sincerity? He blinked, and couldn't help but say: "Mr. Fernandez, I don't quite understand what you mean......
"My meaning is very simple, of course, we can cooperate in terms of cooperation, but the specific way of cooperation is not the model of 'Bosch sells products to AMC'. ”
Can you cooperate?
Robert Schneider sat up straight: It's good to cooperate.
The Bosch Group is a large, comprehensive conglomerate, its products span home appliances, industrial technology, automation technology, consumer goods and construction technology and other categories, Robert Schneider is just the president of the Bosch Group responsible for the auto parts business, for him, as long as he can win the cooperation with AMC, can make Bosch make money, Chen Geng's proposal of any cooperation model is worth considering. He immediately said: "Mr. Fernández, please tell me what kind of cooperation do you envision?"
Chen Geng did not immediately answer Robert Schneider's question, but changed the topic and asked Robert Schneider: "Mr. Schneider, how much do you know about the automobile industry in China?"
"Huaxia?"
Robert Schneider subconsciously wanted to shake his head: Why do I want to know anything about the desert of modern industrial technology in China? But he was not stupid after all, he didn't say this sentence, although he was very curious why Chen Geng suddenly asked this question, but after a little contemplation, Robert Schneider said: "I don't know much about Huaxia, but I know that you have investments in Huaxia, and you seem to be the largest Western investor in Huaxia, and at the same time one of the most popular investors in Huaxia."
After a pause, Robert Schneider continued: "The history of cooperation between Bosch and Huaxia dates back to the beginning of this century, and after the implementation of the reform and opening up policy of the Chinese government, we have been paying close attention to the Chinese market and are carefully considering whether to test the waters in China. ”
Chen Geng seemed to be very satisfied with Robert Schneider's answer, and he smiled and nodded: "Since Bosch is also interested in the Chinese market, it will be easy to do." ”
“……”
Easy to do?
What's so easy to do?
Robert Schneider felt like he was in a daze.
"I have three large-scale projects in Huaxia that I am currently investigating," Chen Geng said: "One is the localization production of Fokker F100 passenger aircraft in China in cooperation with the Dutch Falkland-United Aviation Technology Company, the other is the project to establish a project with an annual output of 200,000 passenger cars in Huaxia, and the other is a project to build a large-scale and comprehensive auto parts industrial park in Huaxia......
When Chen Geng said this, Robert Schneider vaguely understood what he meant, and he asked Chen Geng tentatively, "So...... Mr. Fernandez, do you mean that we want Bosch to go to Huaxia to support your auto parts industrial park plan?"
At the same time, Robert Schneider's mind was rapidly thinking about how he would respond if Chen Geng seriously asked Bosch to invest in the auto parts industrial park he invested in Huaxia.
Frankly speaking, because of the "deep friendship" with the Chinese market, as early as 1978, at the beginning of China's reform and opening up, the Bosch Group was paying close attention to the reform and opening up policy of the Chinese government, but as a century-old store, the Bosch Group was not in a hurry to invest in the construction of factories in China, they had enough patience to conduct careful observation, and after several years of observation, at the beginning of this year, the Bosch Group finally made the decision to "increase the observation of the Chinese market...... In other words, the Bosch Group is starting to be more optimistic about the future of the Chinese market.
However, despite this, the Bosch Group still does not list the investment and construction of factories in China as the first consideration, and the Bosch Group's idea is that after two or three years of observation, it is determined that China's reform and opening up is a definite and sustainable policy, then it can set up a representative office, office and other institutions in Huaxia Investment......
Listen up!
This is the Bosch Group's investment and development plan in the Chinese market, and it is so cautious.
As President of the Bosch Group, he is responsible for the automotive parts business...... It can also be a senior worker of the Bosch Group...... Robert Schneider, of course, is aware of the market development plan formulated by the board of directors of the group, but the plan is not as fast as the change, if Fernandez Chen asks only Bosch to invest and build factories in China, his AMC will be willing to cooperate with Bosch......
Thinking of this possibility, Robert Schneider couldn't help but start to have a headache.
It's just that Robert Schneider thinks the problem is too simple, how can Chen Geng be cheaper than Bosch, and he can cooperate with AMC just by investing and building a factory in Huaxia?
Chen Geng smiled and said: "No, I mean, Bosch's auto parts factory in Huaxia must be in my industrial park, and it must accept my shares, and AMC's factory in Europe only accepts spare parts from the Huaxia factory......"
Moreover, the price of the same spare part, the spare parts from the Bosch Huaxia factory, must not be higher than the price of the spare parts from the Bosch factory in Europe, and the quality and performance must be consistent.
There is no need to say this request, but as long as Robert Schneider is not stupid, he should understand what Chen Geng meant.
Robert Schneider really understood what Chen Geng meant, so after listening to Chen Geng's request, Robert Schneider's whole person almost jumped up: "This is impossible! This is ridiculous, Mr. Fernandez, this is absolutely impossible, it is absolutely impossible for the board of directors of the Bosch Group to approve such a cooperation clause......
"It's okay, I can understand and support any decision of the Bosch Group," Chen Geng nodded with a smile, with a look of "I understand you very well": "But if we choose products provided by Bosch's competitors, such as Dongying Denso and BorgWarner, I think you can understand Mr. Schneider, right?"
Robert Schneider was speechless for a moment.
Chen Geng's words are simply a naked threat: if you refuse to cooperate with me honestly on my terms, Lao Tzu will cooperate with your competitors!
Robert Schneider's teeth itched with hatred: damn Yankees, he didn't know anything about the art of negotiation, vulgar and illiterate in the Middle Ages, yes, too bad to follow the rules.
