Chapter 615: Cheating
After a long discussion between the two, the product division of the future development of the Third Automobile Industry Group was finally determined.
The top-of-the-line model is undoubtedly the Isota Farasini, a hand-built limited edition car that will be aimed at the most premium car market, just like Rolls-Royce, and will become a symbol of the technical and industrial design prowess of the Third Automotive Group.
The second level is the sub-brand born from Isota Farasini, suggested by Jerome and the name set by Chen Dahe, IFA, Yifa, this brand will be tied to Farasini in the early publicity, and after market success, it will be operated independently, and become a luxury production car brand similar to Mercedes-Benz and BMW.
This brand will also become the vanguard of Chen Dahe's layout of the domestic automobile industry in the future, so it is also the key development goal of the group company in recent years.
As for the rest, Jerome fully complies with Chen Dahe's arrangement and will make arrangements according to his instructions, which will focus on sales, occupy enough market share as quickly as possible, and show his presence to his European counterparts.
Looking at Jerome, who was slightly tired, Chen Dahe stood up and walked to the wine cabinet, poured two glasses of red wine, then handed him a glass, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, but our Third Automobile Industry Group is still just a blueprint, and it will take a few years for everyone to work together to turn this blueprint into reality." ”
"This is our pride," Jerome took the wine, "from the beginning of the Third International Bank, to the subsequent growth step by step, in addition to the generous bonuses, I am more satisfied with the rising sense of achievement, financial investment projects, computer companies, and now the automobile group, these are, boss, thank you, for giving me such an opportunity!"
Chen Dahe laughed, raised his glass to signal, and then drank it in one gulp.
"Sir," said Jerome, putting down his glasses, taking the initiative to refill the two empty glasses, "the automobile industry is a very large capital industry, and I would like to know, what is your financial authority for this company?"
"I mean," Jerome picked up Chen Dahe's glass and handed it to him, with an inquiring smile on his face, "where is your bottom line until the company wins the market?"
Taking the wine glass, a hint of an intriguing smile appeared on Chen Dahe's face, "Jerome, how is the bank's current financial situation?"
Jerome was slightly stunned, but quickly blurted out, "The total amount of deposits exceeds $2.7 billion, the amount of funds in custody is 890 million, the total amount of loans is 3.2 billion, the net assets are $780 million, and excluding reserves, loans and investments, there are $900 million of available funds." ”
"Seventy-eighty million?" Chen Dahe raised the corner of his eye, "How much revenue does it come from computer-related companies?"
He was not surprised that the bank's deposits and loans increased so rapidly, because the financial statements would be submitted to him every month, and he was naturally very aware of the changes in funds, in fact, this number could not even rank compared to various banks in Europe, not to mention that compared with large integrated banks such as UBS, it could only be regarded as a small bank at best, and it was better than those private banks with so many hairs, but he finally got out of the embarrassing situation of being able to support himself alone.
"For the most part," Jerome smiled, "in addition to the sale of computer machines, the retail business and the logistics business also made a lot of money, totaling more than 460 million, and the rest came from other businesses, including African mineral trade and cooperation with the Mocha Group, and some projects invested in the United Kingdom." ”
"That's not bad," Chen Dahe raised his glass and drank it all, "Since there is a sustainable capital income, then don't be afraid to give it a go, the registered capital of the automobile group is set at 500 million US dollars, and in addition, in the name of the Third International Bank, you will give the automobile group a credit line of one billion US dollars, which is not enough!"
A billion dollar line of credit? Jerome thought that the boss would add up to $500 million to the original $500 million authorization, but he didn't expect that he would invest so much, and there was still not enough to say! It seems that after the computer company project, this automobile group project is the focus of the bank's investment business at the present stage, and it is even ranked above the British investment project, so what should be done to promote this project as soon as possible?
While Jerome was still thinking, Chen Dahe asked again, "How is the design team formed?"
"It's all right," Jerome said with a smile as he came back to his senses. Many of them are the design team of the original brand, although the economic situation has improved now, but the job in the industry is still not easy to find, they almost stayed, and also recruited a group from outside as a supplement, but also added some design ideas for them, now only the Farasini brand does not have a design team, but when the acquisition we also got all their historical design information, only a mature designer, can reproduce the classic models of Farasini. ”
"In this way," Chen Dahe looked at him, raised his right hand and pointed his finger, "I don't care about the technical team, in terms of exterior and interior design, you urge them to come up with the design plan of each brand as soon as possible, at least five, and when I return to Switzerland at the end of August, you bring it to me and select it personally,"
"Well," pursed his lips and thought about it, Chen Dahe said again, "Bring another designer with a good art foundation, I may modify it on the spot, remember, keep your mouth tight!"
When it is time to cheat, we must be unswervingly cheating, and the models after 20 years do not care, but the classic models that have been tested by the market within the next ten or twenty years, he must be used for them, otherwise it will not be a waste of the car forum that was soaked in the year!
The boss still knows how to design?
Jerome had a look of surprise in his eyes, but he didn't speak, just jotted it down.
After sending Jerome away, Chen Dahe found Emma again, asked about the situation in Africa, and learned that all the crops had been harvested and shipped away, and the grain company had not suffered losses, and he was also relieved, but at the same time, he was also a little strange, didn't he say that there would be a major drought in Africa, why was there no movement at all? Could it be that the weather forecast was wrong?
However, the climate data from the local area clearly confirms the drought claim, and the dry land and the displaced people who appear in the local newspapers from time to time also objectively exist, but why is there no movement from the local government and the international community?
It's a pity that Emma and the local management team don't know much about the situation outside the farm, and naturally they can't provide Chen Dahe with accurate information, he wanted to contact Liu Jianjian, who was in charge of intelligence, and ask what the situation was there, but it was troublesome to communicate, and Sissi was going to return to China in two days, so he simply waited for himself to come back from China.
