"Thank you, Mr. Xu. Rao Bing said with a smile that his negotiations with Volkswagen overcame obstacles, and he didn't know how many meetings he had talked about localization and how much time he wasted.

In this way, the German Volkswagen can make huge profits from the parts, but the mainland will need a lot of foreign exchange to buy parts, although this is much cheaper than directly importing cars, but after all, the country's purpose is to one day be able to produce its own cars, not simple assembly.

"It's nothing, as long as the project can be run as soon as possible, and everyone will get what they need. Xu Zhi said with a smile.

Localization of parts and components can reduce the cost of foreign exchange in the country, which is actually extremely important, even if the electronics factory can balance the foreign exchange problem, but the easier it is to reduce the country's foreign exchange, not to mention that the parts factory can also undertake orders from abroad, Xu Zhike has long planned to take the public as the first target.

At this moment, in China, it is not without other foreign-funded truck cooperation, such as Jinan Automobile Factory in the late 70s and Romanian Roman Truck Factory technical cooperation, in the way of SKD (imported parts for assembly) in Jinan to assemble Roman JN162 truck, which is a 10-ton truck, in the mainland has been a heavy-duty truck.

Roman Trucks made a lot of money in this project, the parts sold very expensive, but the eyes can only see in front of the eyes, in the 80s, the project that consumed a huge amount of foreign exchange in the mainland is impossible to last, and finally a few years later, the domestic assembly of imitations, although the quality is a little worse, but does not require a lot of foreign exchange, and finally the Roman project is over.

SAIC Volkswagen, which will be established in a few years, actually only planned to make a small profit at the beginning, but then the new CEO had a brilliant vision, considered from the perspective of long-term interests, and agreed to the future localization of parts and components and foreign exchange balance policies, so that Volkswagen became the magic car of the mainland, which has endured for a long time.

The "Beijing Jeep", which was established a year earlier than SAIC Volkswagen, was a rat-eyed company, insisting on domestic production under the SKD model, and was later vetoed by the mainland customs on the import of auto parts because of the foreign exchange balance issue.

In the end, he did win half a move, but his future fate was already decided, and in the end he could not develop in the mainland at all, and he missed the market of 100 billion US dollars.

Xu Zhi didn't want to leave just one profit, and as long as he waited until the 90s, when the domestic foreign exchange was sufficient, the policy of "foreign exchange balance" would be gradually liberalized, and at that time, Mark Company had been based in the mainland for more than 10 years and had already taken the lead.

Rao Bing smiled again: "Mr. Xu, the ministry has decided that I will be in charge of this project, and I hope that Mr. Xu can take care of it when the time comes." ”

"I remember that Director Huan should also be in charge of the Volkswagen project!" Xu Zhi asked in surprise.

Rao Bing smiled: "I'm ashamed, this project has not made much progress after a few years of talking. ”

Wei Dong next to him said: "Lao Rao, compared with the cooperation projects of Ford and Logo, Volkswagen always has hope." ”

"Haha, I can only comfort myself like this. Rao Bing said with a wry smile that at the beginning of the reform, the central government negotiated with several international auto giants at the same time, but now Volkswagen is still continuing, and the others have announced that the negotiations have failed.

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "It's a pity that I don't have an automobile company, otherwise we can talk about cooperation in two months." ”

Rao Bing smiled: "It's still refreshing to cooperate with Mr. Xu, then I hope that the project of Mark Company can be signed in two months." ”

"I guess it's pretty much the same. Xu Zhi smiled, he is not ready to waste time on negotiations, as long as the main things are negotiated and the details can be passed, the sooner he enters the mainland market, he can obtain higher profits, which is the most important thing.

Xu Zhi then asked: "The delegation of Mark Company will arrive in Shanghai in two days, and I am going to leave for Shanghai tomorrow, I wonder if Director Rao will accompany him?"

"Tomorrow. Rao Bing thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Xu, are you going to take a plane?"

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "Of course!"

Although the people in the Xiangjiang delegation were invited by the central government, they also had their own passports and visas, which could be used to buy air tickets.

Rao Bing smiled: "That's good, there should be only one flight to Shanghai tomorrow, Mr. Xu, I don't know if I can borrow this phone for a while, I will arrange for my men to buy a few tickets." ”

"Absolutely. Xu Zhi smiled, this phone is not his.

"Thank you. Rao Bing got up and walked out, there was no phone in the study, only in the living room outside.

After Rao Bing left, Wei Dong asked with a smile: "I don't know when Mr. Xu will go to the deep sea, but I also hope that the business negotiations can end as soon as possible." ”

"Director Wei, rest assured, you and I are willing to cooperate in this matter, and ordinary conflicts will not affect too much time. Xu Zhi said with a smile.

Business negotiation, for the negotiator, there may be hundreds of issues that need to be negotiated with the other party slowly, but the real delay is not the negotiation, but many times the real negotiator has no decision, after achieving a certain result, you have to report to the top, if the top does not agree, you need to renegotiate.

This is also the reason why Volkswagen has been talking for so long, but if the two parties can really decide to negotiate, the speed will be much faster, and Weidong hopes that Xu Zhi will go to Shenhai City as well, because he is the final decider of this project.

A few minutes later, Rao Bing came back after a phone call, and the three of them discussed some cooperation issues, and the two bureau chiefs got up and left.

......

Early the next morning, the weather was still so cold, Xu Yaxin packed her belongings and said, "Brother, it shouldn't be so cold when you arrive in Shanghai!"

Xu Zhi thought for a while and said: "It's hard to say, in terms of temperature, the temperature in Shanghai is definitely not as low as in the capital, but the air over there is humid, it is a wet and cold weather, and it is not necessarily much stronger than here." ”

Xu Hongbang also answered next to him: "The dampness and cold may sometimes be more uncomfortable than in the north, you have been staying in Xiangjiang since you were a child, and it is estimated that it is difficult to adapt to this temperature." ”

Xu Yaxin said helplessly: "Next time I come to the mainland, I don't want to come to winter again, I'm cold to death." ”

"Then you can go back with the delegation, my quota is for you, and you can also take a luxury business jet." Xu Zhi smiled and said that the people of the Xiangjiang delegation had been in the capital for a week, and it was time to leave, but Xu Zhi was going to go to Shanghai, and the family was not in a hurry to return to Xiangjiang, so they decided to go to Shanghai together to have a visit.

Xu Yaxin shook her head and said: "That's not good, how can you not go because it's a little cold, it's a rare opportunity, I still have a few years to go to college, and it's not good to come to the mainland either in summer or winter." ”

"Okay, don't get too cold then. Xu Zhi smiled, he was a Jiangnan person before he crossed, and the winter of every year was not comfortable, this was still the winter after the 10s of the 21st century, in his memory, the ice in Jiangnan in the winter of the past nine years could be gone, and the temperature was obviously much lower.

"Mr. Xu, the car is ready. The guard walked in and said.

"Okay, let's go......"
