Mavi asked a very tricky and very important question. That is, whether the British car manufacturers that cooperate with the country, their engine production, and the production plants with key technologies, will also be built in China?

This is quite critical.

After all, if the core technology of the car is not shared, then this joint venture method will only give up the market and make a wedding dress for others. It is completely regarded by the other party as cheap labor, hard-earned money.

"Mr. Ma Wei, before answering your question, I would like to take the liberty of asking, what kind of cooperation do they have with domestic automobile groups, and do they share their own core technologies?"

The British answer was very ingenious, they did not give a positive answer, but asked Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, and Bao Mǎ Sān Jiā Automobile Company if they shared their core technology.

Faced with this problem, Ma Wei couldn't help but glance at the CEO of FAW Group sitting next to him. Prior to this, he had negotiated a joint venture with a representative of Volkswagen from Germany. So very clear about the whole process.

Feeling someone's gaze, I saw the CEO of FAW Group, coughing lightly in embarrassment, and then replied, "Ahem, that's the case, Mr. Ma Wei." German Mercedes, BMW I don't know very well. But Volkswagen, as far as I know, they will not build engine-related production lines in China for the time being......"

The FAW boss replied helplessly. These foreigners, all of whom are very sophisticated, will not share their technology because the domestic market is opened and there are joint venture opportunities. In their eyes, the cheap labor in China, the cheap plant construction cost, and the operating cost are very attractive.

But it's not enough to make them dizzy, and they can easily share the core technology.

After listening to the speech of the FAW CEO, Land Rover, MG, and Jaguar CEOs all showed expressions of helplessness. This obviously means to say, "Mr. Ma Wei, you have also heard, it is not that we are unwilling to share, but according to international practice, no automobile company will share its core technology with relatively backward enterprises." Even if it's a joint venture, it won't. ”

As the CEO of three automobile companies, Ma Wei naturally knows what kind of caution his peers will have. I also know that a few words alone will hardly shake their original thoughts.

Including the previous life, these foreign companies that chose joint ventures also waited until the domestic market reached a certain scale before gradually disclosing their technologies and even core technologies.

The reason is that if they are no longer shared, then domestic enterprises will terminate cooperation with them. As a result, those foreign companies have lost a huge market. Audi, for example, is a good example.

Seeing such a situation, the presidents of the four major automobile groups present were quite helpless to be honest. The development of automobiles in China is much slower than in Europe. This leads to a disparity in the status of the two sides, which is very obvious. Naturally, they don't have much say in cooperation.

"Since you don't want to share technology, I don't think there's any need to talk about it. At this time, the president of Dongfeng Motor Group, who was sitting at the conference table, suddenly spoke.

His words directly surprised the other six CEOs present in an instant! They all turned their heads and looked at him.

From the eyes of everyone, two meanings can be seen. A look in his eyes was expressing, "What is the situation?" Lao Li, why did you suddenly have such a tough attitude? The other party was a foreign guest from Britain? You talked like this, and you didn't make people angry?" This is the questioning glance cast by the CEOs of the other three domestic automobile groups at the CEOs of the Dongfeng Group.

As for the other three Land Rover, MG, and Jaguar CEOs, the meaning revealed in their eyes was expressing, "Are the automobile companies in country Z so domineering? If you don't share technology, you don't need to talk, and if you talk like this, who will dare to come over to talk about cooperation in the future?"

Ma Wei, who was sitting at the forefront, looked at all this indifferently. And it was not affected in any way.

"Mr. Mavi, this ...... What do you say? It seems that Mr. Li of Dongfeng Group has some kind of misunderstanding with us?" The three CEOs of Land Rover, MG, and Jaguar turned their heads and turned their eyes to Ma Wei.

This negotiation meeting was led and presided over by Ma Wei, and now that this incident is making trouble, it stands to reason that he can't save face.

"President William, President Abt, President Aldrich, why don't we talk about this today. Ma Wei said lightly to the three CEOs from the UK. Then he stood up, shook hands with the three of them, and then arranged for his subordinates to send the three to the hotel.

Two minutes later, when Ma Wei re-entered the conference room, he saw the presidents of the four major automobile groups, all sitting silently at the table, waiting for him to return.

"Lao Li, your attitude towards foreign guests just now was too tough. With the current situation of the industry in our country, it is far from the level of such negotiations. The CEO of FAW Group couldn't help but say to the CEO of Dongfeng Group. It means that he was a little reckless and arrogant just now, which led to the unhappy end of the negotiation now.

"Yes, Lao Li, what you said just now has come to my heart. But with our current industry development and industry status, we are far from the point where we are competing with other British cars!"

In fact, another reason why he wants to do this is that he is afraid that Ma Wei, a Russian foreign guest who will take the lead, will be angry. In the end, if you don't help them, it's really all for nothing.

But at this time, I saw Ma Wei, who had returned to the conference room, suddenly said in public, "Actually, I asked Mr. Li to say this just now." ”

As soon as the words fell, only the other three CEOs in the conference room were seen, and they suddenly looked at Ma Wei with a stunned expression.

"Ahh

"This ...... What is the situation? Mr. Ma Wei? You should know that those foreign-funded enterprises are absolutely unwilling to share core technologies, right? Why do you still say that?" The three CEOs, including the FAW Group, were a little unable to understand Ma Wei's operation.

It stands to reason that he was the initiator of cooperation, but how could he have arranged this turning point ......at the end of the day? Is this to promote cooperation between the two countries, or not to promote cooperation between the two countries? It is really very puzzling. I can't really guess what someone thinks.
