Chapter 619 Invitation Letter of the main text

Next chapter

On the top floor of the headquarters building of Jixiang Automobile Group in Qiantang City, Jiangnan Province, the boss Li Shufu is chatting with a friend who has come to visit him from afar on the sofa in his office.

"Lao Li, your acquisition of Volvo this time has surprised the whole country!" Li Shufu's old friend is an economist with an elegant temperament, and he is not bound by his identity, and still calls him as he did when the two first met many years ago.

Li Shufu also enjoys this title, as the chairman of the board of directors is probably the most painful thing is to be called the chairman at any time, fortunately he still has this old friend, chatting with him no longer has to go through the trouble of pondering the deep meaning of the other party's words, after this period of intense negotiations, he can finally relax a little," In recent years, the country has not been very satisfied with the development of the automobile industry, and our acquisition has allowed the country to see another possibility, so the government will act as a solid backing for us, otherwise I can only rely on my family background, how can I eat a behemoth like Volvo!"

In the past two years, the development of high-speed rail has been extremely rapid! Minister Liu has played with Alstom, Siemens, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, and other giants in applause! Compared with them, you automobile manufacturers are really a bit unusual! It also has the broadest market in the world, and the time to introduce foreign enterprises is not short, and after so many years of shouting the slogan of changing technology in the market, I still can't see the future of domestic automobiles completely replacing foreign brands! Ji Youzhi spoke like his name, extremely upright, and did not shy away from Li Shufu because he was the owner of an automobile company.

"The high-speed rail market is different from the automobile market!" Li Shufu couldn't help but argue with him, "First of all, the country's emphasis is different, railway transportation is the artery of the national economy, and its strategic significance is far from being comparable to that of the automobile industry! The demand for high-speed rail is limited, the neon country is small, the market space is not large, France and Germany are in a similar situation, low-speed railways and extremely developed highway networks can already meet economic needs! Australia and Canada are sparsely populated and cannot use high-speed rail networks. ”

"We are the only ones in the world who have such a huge demand and enough money to build a high-speed rail network!" "For companies like Siemens, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, and Alstom, their options are extremely narrow, either to accept our harsh conditions and make a little money, or to watch the technology they have accumulated for decades lie in the safe and mold! However, despite such a favorable form, which Minister Liu can handle this matter so beautifully, her political skills are really admirable!" Speaking of which, Li Shufu still wants to say something, although this minister has made meritorious contributions to the country, he has also cut off the way for many people to get rich, plus he is not a clean sleeve, I am afraid that the future will not be too good!

But think about it, there is a swallowing of the words. He went on to talk about the situation in the automotive industry, "high-speed rail is still a new thing, and the market system is not perfect, so we can drill into the loopholes; It is an important industry in the United States, a pillar industry of neon, South Korea and Germany. They are backed by a huge domestic market, and they are much more relaxed than the high-speed rail industry, and they will never give up their technology and market to others. ”

"In addition, the Ministry of Railways has a strong leadership department to control and coordinate the national strategy, but the automobile industry is a scattered sand, and there is a lack of unified strategic vision when these foreign companies are introduced! The threshold for foreign companies to enter the Chinese market has been lowered very low, and automakers in China, Neon, France, South Korea and Germany have achieved a light occupation and monopoly of the Chinese market without transferring technology. Speaking of this, Li Shufu shook his head.

"It's not without benefits, at least the common people can buy cheap cars!" Ji Youzhi interrupted his grumbling.

"That's also because in recent years, private automobile companies have begun to exert their strength! If it weren't for us to produce cheaper cars, we don't know how many years it would have been before they could have lowered the prices themselves!" Li Shufu said proudly, but in an instant, he became depressed. "Hey, it's a pity that we can only mix in the low-end market now, and if we want to enter the domestic mid-to-high-end market and even kill Europe, United States, neon and South Korea, I'm afraid there is still a long way to go!

"Your acquisition of Volvo is a good start! In a few years, maybe," Ji Youzhi said happily, and suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Li Shufu's face was a little unsightly, he finally took a break to relax, didn't he tell the secretary not to disturb him? Why did he knock on the door again? What is the big deal going on?

"Chairman, I'm sorry to disturb you!" The secretary walked in and apologized, and then handed over an invitation letter with both hands, "This is what I just received, I think this matter is very important, so I sent it to you as soon as possible!"

"Whose invitation?" Could it be another summit, what's the matter? Li Shufu opened the invitation while guessing, he habitually looked at the invitation party below, and his face suddenly changed greatly, "Hmm? Why did they send me an invitation?"

"Oh, who sent it?" asked Ji Youzhi curiously.

"It was sent by the Xihe Project Team! Invite me to Chang'an next Monday to participate in exchange activities!" Could it be that Li Shufu suddenly remembered the grand auction, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

"Chairman, according to the schedule, you are going to Europe next week to meet with the top management of Volvo!" the secretary reminded.

"Let the vice chairman go instead of me! Now Volvo is ours, there is no need to be so grand, whoever goes is the same!" If it is really as I guessed, the importance of this exchange meeting will definitely exceed the meeting with Volvo, "Help me book a plane ticket, I want to go to Chang'an!" (To be continued.) )

ps: Ask for a reward after the fifth watch!
