Chapter 0350 Officially Landed
When Brant saw the appearance of the Phoenix sedan, he had already found Zhou Jingming and expressed his willingness to cooperate, but the car had just been released at that time, and Zhou Jingming did not set his sights on the overseas market.
Phoenix car in the European and American market does not have any popularity, if Zhou Jingming wants to rely on his own personal strength, he wants to make this car successful in Europe and the United States, the probability is very small, but if you can use a platform like Audi car, then the starting point of the Phoenix car, will suddenly rise a lot, only stand tall, more people will see, there will be a greater chance of success.
What's more, Zhou Jingming now does not have a special person to be responsible for managing foreign trade, and Audi is responsible for the agent, which is the best choice at present, as long as the brand can be played out, then the decision to land in the European and American markets this time is effective.
After receiving Zhou Jingming's call, Brandt did not rashly agree, but first found his superior, Loew, and explained Zhou Jingming's thoughts to him.
"This Phoenix sedan is the one you saw last time at the Yanjing Auto Show?" Loew asked, looking up. He vaguely remembered that Brant had mentioned it to him.
"That's right. Brandt Lianjiang nodded and said, "At that Yanjing Auto Show, this Phoenix brand sedan completely stole the limelight of our Audi 80 car, or rather, stole the limelight of all show cars!"
"Volkswagen's board of directors is considering continuing to cooperate with the Chinese government in depth, and the model produced by this cooperation is our Audi car, if we can reach cooperation with China this time, it will be of great help to the next joint venture project with China. Loew paused, then continued, "Do you have any specific stats on the car's performance?"
"The top speed is 289 kilometers per hour, and the acceleration time to 100 kilometers per hour is 5.1 seconds!" Brandt replied immediately.
Loew's eyes are sharp, the power is so strong, even among the Audi models, there are few that can be compared with it, and even if the power is stronger than this car, the level of the model, it does not match, among the models of the same level, Loew can't think of any car better than the Phoenix sedan!
"You go and negotiate with the Chinese, can you transport a Phoenix car to us first, the whole vehicle or the way of CKD, I want to investigate this car first." Although Brandt's description is already good, Loew wanted to see it for himself just to be on the safe side.
At the same time, for the performance of this car, Loew also wants to re-verify, and it is a full range of verification, power and fuel economy needless to say, Loew really values the emission and safety of the Phoenix car, Europe has very high requirements for these two performances, and as far as he knows, China has almost no special requirements for these two aspects......
"Okay, I'll talk to him right away. ”
At this time, Zhou Jingming, who was far away in China, also quickly received a call from Brandt.
"Okay Mr. Brandt, I'll make arrangements right away. Zhou Jingming held the phone in his hand and replied with a smile.
"What's going on, what do foreigners say?" As soon as Zhou Jingming hung up the phone, Zhao Ke immediately asked.
"Audi wanted us to send a car to Germany first, and they wanted to see how our car was. Zhou Jingming replied.
"What's there to investigate, what data does he want, we can't give it to him, these foreigners have to take off their pants and fart, and do more. He Yingxun on the side said angrily.
Zhou Jingming smiled, "Audi is a big brand after all, if our car is not as good as advertised, the loss caused to them is very big, I can understand their approach." Don't complain, when our brand grows like Audi, you will do the same. ”
After arranging the delivery of the car to Germany, Zhou Jingming could only continue to wait for news. On Lee Ming-che's side, after returning to Yanjing, he quickly completed the mandatory installation of airbags, and joined forces with the rest of the Ministry of Machinery to reach a consensus on revising the crash test standard, and the Industrial Policy Department took the lead in improving the standard.
Zhou Jingming just took advantage of this time to start compiling a perfect crash test standard, because it also has to take into account the specific situation in the current country, and it is not possible to directly copy the standards of the previous life, so Zhou Jingming was not easy when compiling this crash test standard.
At the same time, after five days of wandering, the two Phoenix cars were finally delivered to the headquarters of Audi AG, and Loew immediately organized a group of professionals to prepare for the re-testing of the car.
When Loew saw two fiery red cars at the test site, the whole person was immediately stunned, although Brant had repeatedly emphasized that the styling design of the Phoenix sedan was simply a work of art, but only when he saw it with his own eyes, Loew understood how big the visual impact of this car was!
It's really beautiful!
As for the appearance of this car, Loew felt that it was necessary to buy one and keep it at home!
The technicians who were traveling with them were also fans of this car circle at once, and they surrounded these two cars one by one, with a light in their eyes, and they couldn't wait to have one right away!
"Okay, now that we're going to get to work, I'm going to get a full picture of the car's performance, measure it against our internal standards, and give me the final evaluation today. ”
After saying this, Loew couldn't help but take a few more glances at the two cars parked there before reluctantly leaving the test site.
After an afternoon of hard work, the evaluation materials of the Phoenix sedan were quickly sent to Loew's table, and the moment he got the materials, Loew's face was immediately full of incredulity, because all the evaluation indicators, this Phoenix car, have reached the internal evaluation standards of Audi, especially in terms of safety, and even stronger than any car under Audi!
"When will China be able to produce cars of such high quality?" Loew said to himself, holding the material in his hand.
However, Loew didn't have time to think about this, the next morning, he brought Brant over and asked him to arrange a negotiation with Zhou Jingming, whether it was the appearance or the performance of the car, the Phoenix sedan had been deeply impressed by Loew!
After receiving Brandt's invitation, Zhou Jingming also flew to Germany for the first time and started negotiations with Audi, because Zhou Jingming's purpose this time was only to open the European and American markets, so he did not struggle for a long time in the distribution of related interests, and the two sides quickly reached a consensus.
After a series of contracts were signed, the time for the launch of the Phoenix car in the European market was officially set: on the first of next month, that is, in September, the Phoenix car will officially land in the European market!
