Chapter 120: An Imminent Change
Zhao Guoyang cleared his throat and said, "Mayor Huang, if I'm not mistaken. The reason why you Songjiang City made a painful decision to stop the production of Songjiang cars should be a big reason because Songjiang Volkswagen wants to expand its scale, right?"
Without waiting for Huang Zhigang to speak, Zhao Guoyang said to himself: "Actually, this is not difficult to guess. After all, in the past year or so, Songjiang Santana's sales have been so good that it has almost monopolized the domestic mid-range vehicle market. ”
"Under such a momentum, both the Songjiang Municipal Government and Songjiang Volkswagen want to make persistent efforts to increase production and strive to create brilliance. ”
Indeed, the successful launch of the Santana model directly allowed Songjiang Volkswagen to surpass FAW and FAW and embark on a fast track of development. Maybe in the next five to ten years, no one else can do it. ”
"But......" Zhao Guoyang said. "In my opinion, Songjiang Volkswagen's products are too simple to live on this car. ”
Hearing this, not only Huang Zhigang, but even Fang Xuesen held his breath, looking at Zhao Guoyang without blinking, waiting for his detailed explanation.
Zhao Guoyang didn't sell Guanzi either, he groaned slightly, organized the language, and began to explain his views: "Several leaders, I have also taken the Santana car, just talk about your opinions, there may be inappropriate, please correct more." ”
"Due to the rapid expansion of the market, the positioning of Santana sedan at this stage should gradually change from a family car to an official car and a commercial car. ”
"From a family sedan point of view, Santana's performance is undoubtedly good enough. However, as an official car or business car, it is inferior to the Audi 100 in terms of comfort and rear space. ”
Zhao Guoyang said very frankly: "In my opinion, it is urgent for Santana to continue to lead the domestic car market and make some personalized changes in the future for a period of time!"
After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, the faces of several bigwigs in the conference room changed greatly.
You must know that Director Fang and Mayor Huang, when they met and talked yesterday, combined with the views of some domestic automobile research experts to discuss the future development trend of Songjiang Volkswagen, and finally came to the same conclusion as Zhao Guoyang's analysis.
This Zhao Guoyang was able to come to the same conclusion through his own analysis, which is really remarkable.
Fang Xuesen held back the surprise in his heart and asked in a deep voice, "Then Xiao Zhao, how do you think this personalized change should be made?"
When Zhao Guoyang heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Director Fang, you want me to answer this question, I really don't know how to say it specifically, I can only briefly talk about my understanding of commercial vehicles......
In the anticipation of a group of people, Zhao Guoyang raised three fingers and said: "Actually, in foreign countries, there are certain standards for the definition of commercial vehicles. In general, it is nothing more than the three aspects of body length, interior space, and comfort. ”
"As long as you set the general direction of elongating the body and improving comfort, it is not difficult to redesign a new model according to the existing Santana's foundation. ”
Zhao Guoyang added: "In this regard, I think the design team can learn from the experience of some foreign models. As far as I know, Volkswagen has development teams in Western Europe and Latin America. If our leaders and R&D personnel of Songjiang Volkswagen can go over to take a walk, take a look, and visit, there will definitely be a lot of gains......"
After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, he stopped with a smile, waiting for several bigwigs to digest his remarks.
Zhao Siyan beside him, when she looked at him at this time, her eyes were already straight, and her demented appearance was like looking at a visitor from outside the sky.
After a while, Li Kejian was the first to react. He looked at Fang Xuesen and Huang Zhigang, the two heavyweights who were still pondering, took a deep breath, and said, "I personally completely agree with the suggestion that Xiao Zhao said just now. ”
"Although Songjiang Volkswagen's sales have been in the leading position in China, but the problem of product simplification is still very prominent, if you can't take precautions and plan in advance, then whether the future can continue to be brilliant, in fact, is not too optimistic. ”
Li Kejian looked directly at Zhao Guoyang and said with admiration: "Xiao Zhao said that to design a new model to compete in the market of official and commercial vehicles, I think this point of view is very forward-looking." ”
"With the increasing level of our domestic economy, the popularity of automobiles will definitely accelerate further. And official and commercial vehicles will inevitably become the main force among them. ”
Li Kejian turned his head to look at Huang Zhigang and said: "Mayor Huang, boldly going out is the most important step in the upgrading of our country's automobile industry. I see, Songjiang Volkswagen, it's time to go out and have a look!"
As the top bull in the domestic machinery industry, Li Kejian's words are very heavy.
A lot of the time, at the State Department, he's a guest. Therefore, Huang Zhigang certainly did not dare to ignore this person's words.
In fact, even if Li Kejian didn't express this attitude, Huang Zhigang had already made up his mind to fully accept Zhao Guoyang's opinion.
Zhao Guoyang's analysis just now hit Huang Zhigang's heart.
In particular, his analysis of the future official car and commercial vehicle market made him suddenly enlightened.
The reason why Huang Zhigang kept silent and didn't squeak was actually just thinking about a problem - how to find a way to dig this Zhao Guoyang from Jiangnan Province.
"What Mr. Li said is that after the end of the expo, our Songjiang Municipal Government will put the matter of 'Songjiang people going out' on the agenda. When the time comes, if you can, I hope that Mr. Li can come out and be a technical consultant for our Songjiang City!"
Li Kejian glanced at Director Fang beside him and said with a smile: "Hehe, as long as Director Fang approves, my old man will naturally be fine." ”
Huang Zhigang looked at Fang Xuesen and said, "Then Director Fang, then I'll wait for you now." ”
Fang Xuesen had no choice but to agree: "Mayor Huang, this is not a big problem, let's put it aside for now, everything is easy to discuss." ”
"That's not the end of the conversation yet. Xiao Zhao just said the 'three smalls,' and the 'three smalls' haven't said yet! I still want to hear Xiao Zhao's opinion on the 'three smalls'!"
After Fang Xuesen finished speaking, Huang Zhigang, Liang Xiaofeng and the others all nodded secretly.
Naturally, the leaders of Songjiang City are most concerned about the people of Songjiang. But Director Fang Xuesen is different, he is the leader of the central ministries and commissions, so he naturally has to have an overall plan for all domestic car companies and consider it holistically.
It was rare to meet such a freak as Zhao Guoyang with a unique vision, Fang Xuesen naturally wanted to hear his opinion.
Seeing Director Fang's scorching gaze, Zhao Guoyang knew that he couldn't dodge.
