Chapter 717: Strategic Cooperation
After visiting the factory and learning about Tesla's philosophy and technology. Liu Zhenghua came to the restaurant of Longteng Group and experienced a working meal of Longteng Group with Zhang Fan.
"Mr. Zhang, your working meal, this is really a luxury. ”
Seeing the working meal of Longteng Group, Liu Zhenghua couldn't help but sigh. Longteng Group's working meals are all buffet-style. Eat as much as you want.
However, there are many kinds of food, and you will be dazzled by the main food alone. Steamed buns, rice, steamed buns, flower rolls, pancakes, etc.
Needless to say, the dishes are divided into several cuisines. You can eat whatever you want. The taste is also very good, and now the restaurants of the Dragon Group have been replaced with robot chefs, so there is a wide variety.
What Liu Zhenghua envies the most is that there are all kinds of seafood here, lobster, crab, oysters, and even abalone.
These things are really luxurious, this is a staff meal. If you want to be another company, don't even think about it.
"It's nothing, our chefs here are robots. The raw materials are not expensive, and the blue ocean city is close to the sea. We also have our own fishing boats and these things are fresh and not expensive......"
Zhang Fan said with a smile, in fact, the cost of working meals is not large. Seafood, if you eat it every day, will taste like that.
In terms of employee welfare, no company in China can compare with Longteng Group. This is also the reason why the loyalty of Longteng Group's salary employees is so high.
With such a high welfare, you will never come back if you leave. As long as you leave your job, you won't want to return to the Dragon Teng Department in this life.
It's an iron rule, so it's not too tempting to be treated. The employees of Longteng Group will not leave. Especially the high-level and scientific researchers, they basically will not leave, because it is difficult for the general company to come up with a price.
After dinner, the negotiations officially began. The first thing to target is the Hongqi brand.
"Mr. Zhang, our proposal is the Hongqi brand, let's make it a joint venture brand, what do you think? ”
Liu Zhenghua expressed his expectations for the Hongqi brand. Together we want to operate this brand with Longteng Group. Hearing Liu Zhenghua's words, Zhang Fan laughed.
"Manager Liu, I don't like to beat around the bush. To be honest, the brand of Hongqi is a hot potato. If it were someone else, it was estimated that even if it was given for nothing, it would not be wanted. But in my case, I'm willing to try. But the premise is that the Hongqi brand must be wholly owned by Tesla, if this condition cannot be met, I think about this brand, or don't talk about it. ”
Zhang Fan directly said his hole cards. There's nothing to say, this time it's Zhang Fan who takes the initiative, this hot potato, if it weren't for the country's face, Zhang Fan really wouldn't want it.
"To be honest, with the influence of our Longteng Group. Just build a sub-brand, and the sales will not be too bad. We don't have to be thankless......"
Zhang Fan's words made Liu Zhenghua and them swallow their saliva. Although they have done all kinds of negotiations with each other, when Zhang Fan said the conditions so clearly, they were still a little uncomfortable.
"Mr. Zhang, can you tell us about your plans for the future of Hongqi?"
Liu Zhenghua couldn't help but ask.
"Electrification, full electrification. It's our technical advantage, so it has to be done. At the same time, the brand is polarized, putting down the shelf, focusing on the middle and low-end, mainly competing with Volkswagen Toyota. At the same time, we will not give up the high-end route, after all, the national concierge is also in demand......"
Zhang Fan said his plan, Hongqi's future competitor is a car company like Volkswagen Toyota. At the same time, one or two high-end cars will be created for special needs.
It's like Toyota's century, Volkswagen's phaeton this positioning. Of course, this kind of high-end car is not too much of a salesman, but just a special supply and demand for people to use.
Electrification, this is Tesla's strength. It is also the only thing that Tesali is proficient in. As for the fuel version, Tesla will not make it, nor will it spend unnecessary money on research and development.
After listening to Zhang Fan's opinion, Liu Zhenghua and the others nodded. They had also speculated that Tesla would do it. After all, Tesla's advantage is electric vehicles.
"Can't we really have a joint venture? We can relinquish management and control. Take only the dividends......"
A FAW executive couldn't help but ask.
"No, you can't. Not even one percent of the shares. It's not that I, Zhang Fan, care about money, but I don't want the new Hongqi to have anything to do with FAW. ”
Zhang Fan said seriously, these words made the faces of several high-level executives a little ugly. But they understood in their hearts what Zhang Fan meant.
Zhang Fan looked down on FAW in his heart, and felt that if Hongqi and FAW had a relationship, they would tarnish the Hongqi brand. It's not explicit, but that's what it means.
"Mr. Zhang, your request. We can say yes, but I hope we can work together further. ”
Liu Zhenghua raised his head and said, Zhang Fan looked curious when he heard this.
"That's right, we want to work with you Tesla. Let you Tesla help us develop a car. ”
Liu Zhenghua's words made Zhang Fan stunned. asked Tesla to help them develop a car, which Zhang Fan did not expect.
"After learning about your strength today. I know that we have a big gap with Tesla in the field of new energy. As you know, the double credit policy is about to land, and together we will need a large number of new energy credits in the future. But with our current technology, to develop a car that has passed the technical test and sells well, I am afraid it will not be successful in a short period of time. This requires a lot of technical accumulation......"
Liu Zhenghua said seriously, hearing Liu Zhenghua's words, Zhang Fan understood Liu Zhenghua's plan. Spend money on the side to buy points. Regarding points, many car companies are now working hard to earn points. There are also some companies with sufficient points that release news that the price of a point will reach 1,000 yuan in the future.
This price is not low, but this price is not high for FAW. But FAW, as the leader, is unwilling to lose this person. If you can spend money to let Tesla develop a car for yourself, and then have a good sales, then you will have face, you will have a lining, and you can still make a profit, so why not.
Zhang Fan fell silent and used Tesla's technology to help FAW develop an electric car. There is no technical problem, after all, after the technology is overcome, it is placed there, and then it can be used.
"Mr. Zhang, we can use the form of a joint venture for this car. You are responsible for the technology, we are responsible for production and sales. And the parts can be purchased from your Tesla......"
Liu Zhenghua said again. Hearing this, Zhang Fan laughed. If that's the case, there's nothing wrong with that. In the form of a joint venture, this is what we are best at. If the cooperation is carried out in this way, the profits made by Tesla will be huge.
