Chapter 0731 Official Car Procurement
Although Zhou Jingming also knows in his heart that Tianming Group is still far from the world's first level in terms of sales, or it is not an order of magnitude at all, Zhou Jingming is confident that in the next ten years, Tianming Group's sales will reach the world's first level!
Perhaps, it will not take ten years at all for Zhou Jingming to achieve such a goal.
With such a lead, the atmosphere of the whole banquet scene was also driven, and the whole banquet was staggered, even Zhou Jingming, who has rarely drunk alcohol, also drank a lot of wine under the toast of the employees, and finally He Yingxun, who had the largest amount of alcohol, sent home the car he arranged.
After the end of the staff meeting, Tianming Group also re-entered the state of full-speed production, ready to sprint towards a higher goal.
The news that Zhou Jingming announced at the staff meeting that Tianming Group will soon release six new cars has gradually spread, causing widespread heated discussions in the domestic and international markets.
This is the first time that Tianming Group has announced the news of so many models on sale at the same time since its establishment so many years ago, which reflects the progress of Tianming Group's R&D capabilities and injects the first impetus into the international automobile market in the new year.
Tianming Group Headquarters, Chairman's Office.
"Chairman, your work schedule for this week is like this: at two o'clock this afternoon, Mazda Vice President Jiro Matsushima will meet with you...... At 9 a.m. the day after tomorrow, you will attend the Hongqi R50 new car launch conference in Spring City......"
In the new week, the secretary Xiao Ni is reporting to Zhou Jingming about the next work schedule.
"Wait a minute, the launch of the Hongqi R50 is on this Wednesday?" Zhou Jingming, who was reading the newspaper, raised his head and asked.
Because the Hongqi R50 is of great significance, and the designers of Tianming Group and FAW Hongqi jointly participated in the design, FAW Group specially invited Zhou Jingming to participate in the press conference of this car.
At the same time, Li Mingzhe from the Ministry of Machinery Engineering and relevant leaders from Jilin Province and Chuncheng were invited to participate in the press conference.
With so many heavyweights attending the launch of the new R50, it is enough to see the importance of this car.
"That's right, chairman, I've booked a ticket for you to fly to Spring City at four o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and the hotels over there in Spring City have also been arranged. Xiao Ni hurriedly replied. Because the importance of this matter is extremely high, he does not dare to be sloppy.
"It's nothing, so go on. Zhou Jingming waved his hand, then lowered his head and continued to read the newspaper.
In the afternoon of the next day, Zhou Jingming took a flight to Spring City, ready to attend the Hongqi R50 new car launch conference tomorrow morning.
After more than a year of repeated car tests, Hongqi R50 has finally passed all the test stages, and its good performance has been widely recognized by major evaluation agencies, and has won unanimous praise at the five major international auto shows such as the Geneva Motor Show and the two major domestic auto shows, becoming the most dazzling existence at the auto show.
It can be said that Hongqi R50 is the best and most popular car designed by Hongqi brand since its establishment!
It is precisely because of this that FAW attaches great importance to the sale of this car and wants to take this opportunity to enter the international market in one fell swoop.
After the press conference the next morning, Zhou Jingming was not in a hurry to return to Shencheng, and Li Mingzhe found him before the press conference began, saying that he had something to tell him. At this time, Zhou Jingming was talking secretly with Li Mingzhe.
"Based on your experience, can the R50 be recognized by the international market?" asked Lee Ming-che with a smile.
"It shouldn't be a big problem, last year's auto show can explain everything, plus the pricing of the R50 is a normal luxury car level, it is not difficult to break into the international market. Zhou Jingming replied.
The price of Hongqi R50 is similar to that of Yanhuang sedan, starting at 300,000, and the highest configuration is at the level of 500,000, which is considered an entry-level luxury car.
"If that's really the case, then wouldn't Hongqi R50 become a competitor to your Tianming Group's Yanhuang car? Hahaha. Lee Ming-che laughed.
Hongqi R50 can have the current heat, Tianming Group plays a very important role in it, not to mention the early participation in the development and design of new cars, even the later publicity and operation, but also in accordance with Zhou Jingming's ideas. It can be said that without Tianming Group, the Hongqi R50 would definitely not have the popularity it has now.
However, Zhou Jingming shook his head with a smile, "The fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, a really good car will not be afraid of any competitors, R50 is indeed a rare good car, but I also believe in our Yanhuang car." Also, being able to contribute to the development of Hongqi is something I feel like I should do. ”
"If you have such thoughts, it is not in vain that we have always supported you. Li Mingzhe nodded with satisfaction, "By the way, I called you this time mainly to tell you about the bidding for official cars." ”
After some small talk, Lee Ming-che finally got to the point.
"Official car bidding?" Zhou Jingming was stunned, "Isn't the procurement of official cars always selected by the corresponding department, and then directly procured? When will the bidding begin?"
"That is, at the beginning of this year, the country should pay close attention to the three public consumption, and the procurement requirements of the bus are also more stringent, from the price to the procurement process, it must be carried out in accordance with the regulations, and no over-specification bus travel is allowed. ”
Lee paused, then continued, "The first batch of bus purchases will begin in March this year, and a nationwide bidding notice will be issued at that time." ”
"If that's the case, then we can participate in the bidding normally, Minister Li told me this time, is there any other intention?" Zhou Jingming asked puzzled.
"You listen to me first, and you start asking me about me just halfway through this. Lee Ming-che replied helplessly.
"I'm sorry Minister Li, you continue. ”
"This time the official car bidding, there are two main schemes, the official car below the senior official, each purchase will be re-tendered, still by the procurement unit after comprehensive consideration of the selection, that is to say, the same unit, before and after the two procurement vehicles are likely to be different brands. ”
Zhou Jingming nodded as he listened. Although this process is a bit cumbersome, it does reduce procurement costs and allows every car brand to have the opportunity to be on the procurement list, which is conducive to fair competition.
"In addition, although there is no brand restriction on the purchased vehicles, the national requirement is to support the development of domestic brands, so private car companies like Tianming Group will have a great advantage. What I just said is aimed at the procurement of official cars below senior officials, and now I will talk about the procurement standards for official cars of senior officials and above. ”
Li Mingzhe paused, and then continued, "This level of bus procurement, the implementation of a bidding, permanent procurement, and will pay more attention to the support of national brands, it is certain that the previous Audi A6 will withdraw from China's official car history, senior officials and above official cars, all replaced by domestic brands!"
