Chapter 244

"Forgive me for being blunt, I'd love to hear Mr. Gale's thoughts on the post-operation, you've already read the agreement I want to buy, what do you think my idea is?" Liu Yi is the boss, and it's okay for him to ask anyone else, "Or you tell me how you want to operate this brand in the future." ”

Franco was stunned, he didn't seem to have seriously thought about this problem, he planned to wait for the boss to finish speaking, find various reasons to shirk it, maintain the current operation mode of Jeep, ensure the welfare of the current employees, etc., maybe Daimler can buy it back at a lower price, make a lot of money, and then give them a little bit of specific people, but Liu Yi is asking himself a question, does he really plan to run this brand well, haven't they thought about this problem.

"Mr. Gale, you've been in Jeep for twenty years, you're a veteran of the company, and I'm curious to know what you think of the brand you run after all this time. Liu Yi looked at Franco, Franco felt that if he didn't say it, then the next step would definitely be to fire himself, this young man didn't seem to be so easy to fool. He must have looked at his own information in detail.

Franco took a sip of his coffee, soothed his emotions, and thought for a moment, " I think the current operating model is problematic, now is not World War II, not the Cold War, has entered the new century, young people are the future, our products are facing about forty years old middle-aged people, although we have Cherokee, Commander and other models, but has not changed this situation, I think the future market positioning is young, we should develop new models, to deal with the future of young people's market, more investment in this aspect, we also want to open new production plants, in various states to establish our own production bases, ready to fully spread to the global market, now the consumption power of young people in various countries is slowly getting stronger and strongerThey love adventure, excitement and adventure, I feel that our car is in line with their requirements, especially the Wrangler, I think it will definitely be their first choice in the future. ”

"What do you think are the factors that young people choose, and what are the advantages that make them choose the Jeep brand?"

"First of all, off-road, breakthrough, pioneering, these elements will let them choose, our car is not competitive at this level, Prado and Land Cruiser, Mitsubishi Pajero these are not quite in line with the aesthetics of young people, although our model is old, but we can give him a new image and connotation, we can definitely get this part of the market. Franco said confidently, "And the prices of Lexus and Mercedes-Benz are too high, and they can't compete with us." ”

"So how many production plants do you plan to build around the world?" asked Liu Yiyi with a smile.

"We had to build a production base in Asia, the Americas and Europe, and in the Middle East we also needed to build a production plant so that our products could cover all regions except Africa, and we had to ensure that each plant had an annual production capacity of more than 100,000 vehicles, so that we could ensure that our production lines could meet the requirements of several states. ”

"How much does it cost to build four production plants?" Liu Yiyi thought it was funny.

"The investment is only about 4 billion to 10 billion US dollars, and if these production plants are completed, we don't have to worry about being stuck by Chrysler, and we can have our own production to cover the market as quickly as possible. Franco's eyes lit up.

Liu Yi laughed, "If you can double the sales of Jeep next year, I can agree to your request, of course, if you can't do it, you will compensate me double my investment." Liu's words made Franco stunned, "If you only have so much understanding of Jeep, I don't think you can become a qualified CEO, and I should consider changing someone." Liu Yi shook his head, this guy is a little too confident, he and his own thinking is not too consistent, Liu Yi just thinks that he is familiar with the company's people, but not a person who can really consider the market, the real person is to focus on the future, and can take into account the current predicament to make compromises, rather than asking for things as soon as he opens his mouth, so ambitious. Franco was stunned and looked at Liu Yi, what did he say, which made the boss dissatisfied, but listening to Liu Yi's tone, investing in these factories is nothing to him, but what does the boss mean by making a bet with himself? "How much does it cost you to build your own sales channels? I mean global sales channels? We can't rely on Chrysler. ”

Listening to Liu Yi's words, he didn't know how to answer at all, the establishment of sales channels can not be completed by just talking, it takes a lot of energy, and it takes human resources to do it, it only cost 600 million US dollars to buy this Jeep brand, and it costs 10 billion US dollars to build the entire Jeep, does he really think that the boss is a fool? He really doesn't understand Liu Yi.

"If there's nothing you can do to change the status quo, don't do it in Jeep. Liu Yi shook his head, "I don't think your current ability can cope with future changes, and it is not in line with the future development of Jeep." Liu Yi was very disappointed in this foreigner, he would rather lose some money, but also find someone who really understands to be the future jeep, not the current jeep, this Mr. Franco obviously does not meet his requirements.

"I've been with Jeep for 20 years, and without me, Jeep doesn't even know if it will be able to operate tomorrow. Franco felt that Liu Yi was too arrogant, how young he was, he didn't know how to run a company, and he had run it for twenty years, he knew how to develop, and he had a deep affection for Jeep.

"It doesn't matter, I have money. Liu Yi said with a smile, "I still pay the salary." Liu Yi doesn't care about the threat of the other party at all, of course, he also knows how important it is to have an excellent team in a brand, this Franco has been entrenched for so many years, what he wants to do, Liu Yi is very clear, so many people leave in fact, it is easier for him to go into battle, he also needs a really enterprising team, Jeep still needs to continue to develop to be able to develop better, these people are gone, he will find people who are more in line with his own interests to develop Jeep.

Franco looked at Liu Yi, "I hope you dare to sign my resignation letter." ”

"Well, if you insist on it, I'll sign it for you

Target. Liu Yi shook his head, for rich people, money is just a number, and if you want to run your own brand well, you need an obedient and like-minded team, he wants to be the best brand in the world, and he needs a paranoid madman to complete it for him.

"Okay, then you wait for my resignation letter. Franco stood up, "Goodbye, young Chinese billionaire, I hope the Jeep will flourish with you and not be sold next month." ”

"Thank you for the blessings, I will make it well. Liu Yi was not angry, but watched Franco leave, this person is a little arrogant, he dared to fool himself before understanding the situation, thinking that his money is so easy to make?

Liu Yi originally prepared a plan, if Franco was not so proud, he would have prepared it, but now that this is the case, he has no interest in continuing to talk about it, because he is not in his own interests, nor is it in line with the future development, not to mention leaving a team, that is, the whole company is gone, Liu Yi will only be happy instead of sad, he can rebuild the company he wants with the least cost, but he is still a little depressed in his heart, this Mr. Franco gave him a heavy blow, he thought that the tiger body was shocked, everyone would surrender, but unfortunately he is not a tiger, and no one will really obey you。

Depressed and paid for the coffee, Liu Yi walked out of the Beijing Hotel, just walked a few steps, "Liu Yi." Liu Yi turned his head and saw Liu Yiyi, she was nearby, so strange?

"Why are you here?" Liu Yi looked at Liu Yiyi curiously, a little uneasy in his heart.

"I came with you. Liu Yiyi didn't hide it from Liu Yi, Liu Yi was very surprised, it seems that you have to be careful in doing things yourself in the future, in case she finds out, it will be over, especially Chen Shuyi's matter.

"Oh, that's right. Liu Yi pretended not to care at all. "Do you have something?"

"Who is that foreigner? He looked like he was in a bad mood and left. Liu Yiyi asked Liu Yi curiously.

"A boss, I didn't talk to him about things, we have different ambitions, and I can't earn a commission on this matter. Liu Yi casually made up a lie, as for whether Liu Yiyi believed it or not, he was not interested in knowing.

"Oh, that's right. Liu Yiyi nodded, Liu Yi is in a bad mood now, he doesn't know how many people will leave, if the entire R&D team leaves, then he will really go crazy, the most important thing for him is the R&D team, including the design team. "Do you have anything else to do in a while?" Liu Yiyi suddenly became happy, it seems that Liu Yi is busy every week, and he secretly followed over to actually worry about whether Liu Yi was lying to her, now it seems that he is telling the truth, he started business at such a young age, it is too powerful, if Liu Yi establishes a company in the future, he should be able to help him manage it with his own ability.

"It's okay, why don't we call our roommates, find a place to eat, and sing a good song?"
