Brandt quickly gave a reply, Audi agreed to try to sell the Phoenix car in the American market, although he had a hunch that Audi would agree, but after getting Brandt's personal admission, Zhou Jingming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"On the 28th of this month, one of our Audi stores in Detroit has just opened, and we will put about 10 Phoenix cars in the store to see how local consumers react. After talking about the company's decision, Brant continued.

"Then thank you, Mr. Brandt. Zhou Jingming hurriedly replied.

"If the Phoenix sedan can be sold in the U.S. market, it will also be a good thing for us, so we will do a good job of promoting this store before it officially opens. Brant paused, then looked at Zhou Jingming again, "I heard that your company's second new car is about to be released??"

Zhou Jingming smiled, Brant's news is quite timely, even in China, not many people know the progress of the development of Kirin cars, Brant is far away in Germany, and he can even hear the news, it seems that he must have worked hard.

"The new car development project has indeed reached the final stage, if nothing else, it will be officially released next month, as for the specific release time, it depends on the completion progress of the project team, and we have not decided for the time being. Zhou Jingming replied with a smile, not deliberately hiding anything.

If you guess correctly, Audi's willingness to help Zhou Jingming enter the U.S. market this time must have something to do with the Kirin sedan.

"I've known Mr. Zhou for a long time, so I'll tell you straight. Brandt paused, and then continued, "What our company means is that if the second model of Tianming Automobile Company is released, we Audi will continue to introduce this car on the European market. ”

Sure enough, Brandt's words quickly confirmed what Zhou Jingming thought in his heart. As for why Audi wants to introduce this car that has not yet been officially put on sale, in fact, it is easy to understand when you think about it, the popularity of the Phoenix sedan in the European market has made them taste the sweetness, if nothing else, the next car of Tianming Automobile, will definitely continue the popularity of the Phoenix car, if Audi does not strengthen cooperation with Zhou Jingming at this time, then the price to be paid in the follow-up will be much greater than now.

Therefore, this time Audi used its sales channels in the United States to help Zhou Jingming complete his long-cherished wish to enter the American market, which is actually Audi's goodwill.

"Is the way Mr. Brant said to introduce this car the same as the Phoenix brand sedan, taking the road of joint venture?" Zhou Jingming smiled and did not rush to make a statement.

"Joint venture is naturally the best choice, I don't know what Mr. Zhou's attitude is?"

"If we can strengthen cooperation with Audi, we will definitely be very happy for Tianming Automobile. The joint venture can continue to be strengthened, but on some details, I hope to be able to renegotiate. Zhou Jingming replied with a smile.

At this stage, Zhou Jingming still needs to further strengthen the brand influence in the European market, backed by a big tree to enjoy the shade, now put aside Audi, directly and independently sell in the European market, the foundation is still too shallow, but after this time, Zhou Jingming believes that with the addition of Kirin car, after the company's third car is released, Zhou Jingming can completely use the identity of Tianming Automobile Company to establish a branch in Europe!

However, even if he wants to strengthen cooperation with Audi, Zhou Jingming has the confidence to ask for more percentage points on some terms of benefit distribution in the contract, after all, at this time, Tianming Automobile is not as unknown as it was when it first cooperated.

"Yes, as long as Mr. Zhou agrees to strengthen cooperation, we are naturally willing to open the door to negotiate on contract issues. After getting Zhou Jingming's affirmative answer, Brant hurriedly said with a smile.

In this way, Zhou Jingming's trip to Germany has reached two things at once, of course, the most important thing at present is to consider how to make the Phoenix car successful in the American market.

Taking advantage of the fact that there is still a period of time from the 28th, Zhou Jingming first returned to China, the development task of the Kirin car has all come to an end, and the research and development of the rotary engine has also entered the performance test stage in advance, and it is expected that it will be officially assembled next month.

Because Zhou Jingming was likely not in China in the days when the new car was assembled, Zhou Jingming returned to China this time mainly to arrange the next relevant matters and ensure that the new car could be released normally according to the predetermined plan.

After arranging domestic affairs, Zhou Jingming left for the United States on the 24th, which was also the first time Zhou Jingming came to the United States after his rebirth.

Since the production of Ford's Model T, the U.S. auto industry has entered a new stage of development, there is no doubt that the United States at this time is definitely the world's largest automobile power, and General Motors is firmly on the throne of the world's largest automobile company.

In addition, the influence of the United States in the world is also unparalleled, so the major automakers have always regarded the American market as a battleground, but all the famous car brands can be seen in the United States.

European car manufacturers, because of geographical advantages, entered the U.S. market relatively early, and now basically have been able to form a parity with the U.S. local car manufacturers, and like Asia, although Japanese and South Korean car companies entered the U.S. market relatively late, but because of the rapid development in recent years, it has also formed a force to be reckoned with, especially the island country of Toyota, which has become a competitor that many auto giants are very afraid of.

This time, Zhou Jingming sought to release the Phoenix brand sedan in the U.S. market, which was the first attempt in China, and it was of great significance to Tianming Automobile Company and even the entire domestic automobile industry.

After Zhou Jingming arrived at the airport in Detroit, Brant, who had arrived here two days ago, specially drove to the airport to pick up Zhou Jingming.

"We have already arranged the franchise store, and we have also done the relevant publicity work, and at the same time, 20 Phoenix cars have been transported here, and now they are placed in the franchise store, and when the franchise store opens, it can officially meet with American consumers. Brant said to Zhou Jingming while driving.

Originally, the opening of a franchise store did not bother Brant to come to Detroit, but considering that the Phoenix sedan appeared in the U.S. market for the first time, in order to deal with the unexpected situation, Brant had to come along.

"Trouble Mr. Brandt. Zhou Jingming, who was sitting in the back, said gratefully.

On the road outside the window, there are all fast-moving cars coming and going, there are American cars, German cars, Japanese cars, Korean cars, Zhou Jingming is thinking, after this time, should there be one more Chinese car on the road here?
