Chapter 0398 Domestic Twin Stars
Since the Ministry of Machinery has negotiated cooperation with Detroit, the next thing Chen Dongsheng has to do is to coordinate all resources and fully support FAW's development strategy.
"On the 20th of this month, I have to go to Detroit to sign a cooperation agreement with the relevant departments in Detroit. Near noon, Li Mingzhe took Zhou Jingming and Chen Dongsheng to the canteen to eat.
"Okay, then I won't go back for the next two days, just here to prepare the materials. Chen Dongsheng nodded. As the director of FAW, he also needs to appear at the signing ceremony.
"When the time comes, I will also go with Director Li, we Tianming Automobile has been engaged in export trade for a longer time, if Director Chen goes to inspect dealers, I can also recommend it to you." Zhou Jingming, who was sitting opposite, said while eating.
"This is what I want!" Chen Dongsheng heard this, and quickly nodded with a smile, "I wanted you to go with me from the beginning, but I was afraid that you would not be too busy, so I was embarrassed to ask, since you said so, then I am welcome." ”
"I was going to Detroit again, and Tianming Automobile is also going to build a factory there, so I have to take a good look at it. Zhou Jingming replied with a smile.
"That's okay, with Xiao Zhou with me, I'm also at ease, then the two of you will live in the guest house in the ministry for the next two days, and you won't be able to go back, and then come with me to Detroit." Lee Ming-che also said with a smile.
Today is already July 18th, and it is indeed too late to go back, but there are some things in the company, Zhou Jingming still needs to arrange them, so after returning to the guest house, Zhou Jingming called Zhao Ke, in fact, it is mainly about the arrangement of the Kirin car production plan.
At present, the launch of Kirin cars in overseas markets is only limited to the American market, and the European market, although Zhou Jingming has the heart to intervene, but he is more than willing to do it, and the current production capacity of Tianming Automobile Company cannot even meet the needs of the domestic and American markets at the same time, let alone add a European market.
But the European market for Zhou Jingming, its importance is no less than the American market, Kirin car has opened up the situation in the United States, the European market, Zhou Jingming naturally still wants to go further, so next month, Zhou Jingming also wants to put the Kirin car in the European market.
If this is done, it means that the supply on the US side of the market will have to be reduced, otherwise the cake will be so big that there will be no way to distribute it evenly.
And this time Zhou Jingming called back, which was to ask Zhao Ke to organize the production of the factory, control the production capacity of Phoenix brand cars to a minimum, make way for all Kirin cars, and strive to have 2,000 Kirin cars in stock before the end of the month, so that Zhou Jingming can be well regulated in the two markets of Europe and the United States.
After arranging the affairs of the factory, Zhou Jingming hung up the phone, and the scale of the factory has really become the biggest obstacle to the development of Tianming Automobile Company.
However, after the establishment of the branch in Detroit, the pressure on the domestic side will be much smaller, so Zhou Jingming can only survive slowly now.
After staying in Yanjing for two nights, on the 20th, Zhou Jingming and Chen Dongsheng followed Li Mingzhe to Detroit.
Detroit is willing to accept cooperation with China, in fact, it is also a last resort, as a world-famous automobile city, Detroit's pillar industry is the automobile industry, it can be said that once the automobile industry here fails, the entire city of Detroit will also fall into a crisis, in 2013 Detroit declared bankruptcy, because General Motors declared bankruptcy due to the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis.
This time, due to the impact of some time ago, the sales of automakers such as General Motors have fallen sharply, and Detroit's tax revenues have decreased, which has also caused a large degree of unemployment, and if the city government does not take action, it will have to face a crisis of confidence.
Therefore, when the Ministry of Machinery proposed to build FAW and Tianming Automobile branches here in Detroit, Detroit, after careful consideration, also agreed to such a cooperation agreement.
After all, the two models of Tianming Automobile, the Phoenix sedan and the Kirin sedan, can be said to be the two most popular cars in the United States at present.
Therefore, in the eyes of the outside world, Tianming Automobile's ability to quickly gain a foothold in the U.S. market is like a farce directed and acted by itself, because from beginning to end, Tianming Automobile is the one who benefits the most.
For such speculation, Zhou Jingming didn't think to explain anything, in a sense, this is indeed part of his strategy.
On the third day of his arrival in Detroit, that is, on July 22, local time, Lee Ming-che, on behalf of the Ministry of Mechanics, signed a formal agreement with the Detroit City Government on the construction of a branch office of FAW and Tianming Automobile, and Zhou Jingming and Chen Dongsheng, as the heads of the two companies, also attended the signing ceremony.
And after the official announcement of this news, the entire American auto industry was shaken, and the mysterious power of the East made these usually high Americans unable to sit still.
"The Specter of Socialism Is Coming!"
After the joint statement of Detroit and the Chinese Ministry of Machinery Industry was issued, the New York Times borrowed a very classic quote from the "Communist Manifesto" as the title to express its opinion on the matter.
Not only that, stimulated by this news, the Dow Jones Industrial Index, which has been falling for some time, has also begun to rise for the first time in nearly a month, while the stocks of local American auto companies such as General Motors and Ford Motor have fallen because of this.
It can be seen that the capital market has a very pessimistic attitude towards the impact of this incident on General Motors, and most investors believe that the entry of FAW and Tianming Automobile into the United States will further impact the local market of General Motors, and the prospects of local automakers like General Motors in the future are not optimistic.
The decline in stock prices has forced General Motors to speed up its research and development progress, because the impact of this incident has far exceeded their expectations, not only GM, but also two companies such as Ford and Chrysler, which are also adjusting their strategies to actively respond to this shock.
Compared with the rumors in the United States, the country is overjoyed that FAW Hongqi and Tianming Automobile have successfully gone abroad, and even CCTV has made a detailed report on this matter, and for the first time in the report, "domestic twin stars" was used to call FAW Hongqi and Tianming automobiles, for a time, "domestic twin stars" has almost become the code name of FAW Hongqi and Tianming Automobile in China.
Next, let's see how the two twin stars of FAW Hongqi and Tianming Automobile stir up the European and American markets.
