Chen Geng's proposal for strategic cooperation with Honda Motor Co., Ltd. was immediately highly valued by Honda Motor Co., Ltd.!

For this matter, not only did Kume rush back to Toei to attend the meeting, but even Honda founder Soichiro Honda, who had resigned from Honda Motor Co., Ltd. and only served as the president of Honda Motor Co., Ltd. for the time being, and Takeo Fujisawa, Honda Soichiro's best friend and closest assistant, also came, and all the senior executives of Honda Motor knew that if Honda Motor Co., Ltd. could really reach a strategic cooperation with Chen Geng and his Fernandez company, the benefits to Honda would be almost unimaginable!

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. attaches great importance to this cooperation with Chen Geng, which is fully worthy of the word "strategic".

“...... So, that's what Chen Jun wanted. After reporting Chen Geng's requirements and cooperation methods to the core level of Honda present, Kume Shizhi bowed deeply and said that he was finished.

After Kume Shishi finished speaking, there was silence in the huge conference room, no one spoke, and everyone was digesting the information that Kume Shishi had brought back.

After a long time, Soichiro Honda, who had taken a back seat, spoke, and he looked at Takeo Fujisawa, who was Honda's number one in management before retirement, and was also his best friend and assistant: "Fujisawa-kun, you are an expert in management, can you tell me your judgment?"

As soon as Soichiro Honda's words fell, the eyes of the current Honda executives and veterans in the conference room fell on Takeo Fujisawa.

More than 30 years later, Honda fans on the Internet must mention Soichiro Honda when they talk about Honda, and Soichiro Honda is how to do it at every turn, but these Honda fans who seem to be Honda fans but are actually pseudo Honda fans don't know that the reason why Soichiro Honda has such a great image in their eyes is because of the man standing behind Soichiro Honda: Takeo Fujisawa.

The two began working together in 1948 until 1973, when the two retired from the front-line leadership position together, Takeo Fujisawa not only served as Honda's deputy general manager (vice president), but also held all the seals of Honda.

Soichiro Honda has said in public countless times: "Without Fujisawa, Honda would soon collapse." And Takeo Fujisawa also said, "Without Mr. Honda, Honda would not be able to become what it is today." It is conceivable that Takeo Fujisawa has a position within Honda Motor Co., Ltd.

Takeo Fujisawa understood that now was not the time to be humble, so he bowed slightly to Soichiro Honda: "Okay, then I'll tell you some of my shallow opinions, and ask you for advice." ”

As soon as Takeo Fujisawa's words fell, the voices of the executives and veterans suddenly rang out:

"Don't dare to be it! If you want to advise, it is also Your Excellency Fujisawa who instructs us. ”

"It is an honor to receive the teachings of His Excellency Muto......

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

Takeo Fujisawa waved his hand, and waited until everyone was quiet before he spoke: "First of all, it is now clear that if His Excellency Chen Geng is really willing to cooperate with Honda in the way mentioned in Kume-kun's words, it will be a great benefit to Honda and Honda's business in North America. A huge opportunity, as long as this opportunity is seized, Honda can not only get rid of the cheap and low-grade image in North America as soon as possible, but also quickly expand its market share, so my opinion is that as long as Chen Geng's conditions are not too excessive, we can consider it. ”

With Takeo Fujisawa's words, a group of people nodded one after another, obviously thinking that Takeo Fujisawa's words were very reasonable.

"The next thing we have to analyze is whether His Excellency Chen Geng's request is excessive, as far as I am concerned, I actually don't think His Excellency Chen Geng's request is excessive," Fujisawa Takeo continued: "First of all, the first request, he asked Honda to send quality control and management personnel to assist him in the joint venture factory with Modu Automobile Manufacturing Factory to get on the right track as soon as possible, control the quality and keep improving, which is exactly what we are good at, anyway, I don't think this condition is too much, what about you?"

"I think so. ”

"Not excessive. ”

"It's not too much. ”

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

Fujisawa Takeo's words were unanimously echoed, they did think that Chen Geng's request was not excessive, then again, if such conditions were not agreed, Honda would be too insincere to cooperate, even if Honda had to bear half of the expenses of these stationed personnel.

Even Soichiro Honda nodded: "It's really not too much." ”

"Very good, since everyone agrees, let's analyze the second point," Fujisawa Takeo continued: "I believe that this second point is also the most hesitant point for everyone, that is, when we develop to a certain extent in the North American market, we will hand over to Chen Geng a vehicle production plant with an annual output of 100,000 cars and supporting engines and transmissions free of charge, as well as the corresponding production, technology and management personnel, in short, Honda will hand over a factory that is operating well to Chen Geng...... I believe this is also the most hesitant and hesitant of everyone, right? After all, such a factory is not cheap. ”

Takeo Fujisawa said what was on the minds of Honda executives and veterans, and Chen Geng's request was indeed their most tangled and reluctant place: money!

We don't say how much effort it takes to build such a factory, but only use the simplest way: what does it mean to measure such a factory in dollars: not counting personnel costs, let's just say that the hardware cost of the plant and equipment needs at least 200 million dollars!

Not to mention that Honda still needs to train enough qualified workers, technicians and managers for this plant, and this part of the cost adds up to at least half of the factory.

Counting the previous requirements, and then counting Chen Geng's other requirements, it is equivalent to Honda to set at least 500 million US dollars for this cooperation!

500 million US dollars, thinking of this number, a group of old devils who are used to picking and searching for life feel so painful and reluctant......

Soichiro Honda's face didn't change, after all, people have seen strong winds and waves, he was silent for a moment, and asked Takeo Fujisawa again: "Fujisawa-kun, if we agree to these conditions of His Excellency Chen Geng, what can we Honda get?"

That's right!

Hearing Soichiro Honda's words, the spirits of a group of old devils in the conference room suddenly lifted: We have paid such a big price, how much benefit can we get? If the benefits are enough, even double or triple the $500 million, we can still cooperate.

A group of old devils suddenly looked at Takeo Fujisawa with blank eyes......
