Chapter 671: Two hundred million dollars
For Ford, there was an urgent need for some cash flow to face the loss-making business in various places.
Of course, this local business certainly does not include the Celestial Empire.
At such a time, the announcement of the cooperation between Korn Ferry Group and Ford Motor is good news for Ford Motor.
On the one hand, selling Ford's idle and even somewhat outdated engine technology is a "good deal" for a manufacturer that "does not put any competitive pressure on itself".
Of course, ten years later, when the major joint ventures, including Ford, are losing ground under the attack of Tejd, it is not known whether Ford will still think so.
On the other hand, Korn Ferry's influence on the global Internet is very strong, and Ford Motor and its cooperation can get more help in marketing and publicity.
Ford announced the news on Twitter, and the American people actually did not react much, and these people are now worried about whether their mortgages and bonuses will be affected by this subprime mortgage crisis.
However, when Guanghui Automobile announced the news of the $200 million purchase of Ford's engine technology and its production line on its official Weibo, it caused heated discussions among the majority of Celestial Empire netizens.
Netizen "No CX Language": Boss Jiang is really generous, and he will spend 200 million US dollars as soon as he makes a move.
Netizen "Mud Bird": I have always said that Guanghui Group is preparing to build a car, and when I saw this news, I felt that this matter was a bit reliable.
Netizen "minman": My brother is amazing, he bought back several series of engine technology and production lines for only 200 million US dollars.
Netizen "Brother Longjiang": Guanghui Automobile hurry up and release its own model, I'm looking forward to it.
Netizen "Eternal Night Cat": I always hear which company in my country has been acquired by others, and today I finally heard that the enterprises of the Celestial Empire have acquired other people's technology.
Netizen "Royal Wood": The automobile industry is both ice and fire, the east is hot and the west is cold, and even Ford has to sell things to make a living.
Netizen "Adult 911": To be honest, Ford's engine technology is still good, and Guanghui Group has made another correct choice.
Netizen "Hengyu Wars Without Beginning": I didn't expect that Guanghui Group was already so rich, and it would be acquired for 200 million US dollars at every turn.
Netizen "Technetium Little Scholar in the City": Is Boss Jiang going to start scattering coins?
Netizen "a set of rags": Guanghui Group is in the mobile phone industry, to play a big game in the automotive industry again, I hope this catfish can make the domestic automotive industry really grow as soon as possible.
Netizen "Freedom in the Wave": Several domestic independent brands basically use Mitsubishi engines, since they are all spent money to buy engines, it is better to spend more money to buy back the technology, this practice of Guanghui Automobile is good, praise one!
Netizen "Love World Microbeads": It is said that the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States is getting worse, and I didn't feel anything before, but from Ford to sell Aston Martin, and now to sell engine technology and production lines, I can already feel that it seems that this is really a crisis.
Netizen "Lei Ye Y": These foreign car manufacturers have sucked blood in the Celestial Empire for so many years, and now it's finally their turn to bleed, this kind of thing can happen a few more times.
Netizen "Look at YY's madman": I hope that Guanghui Automobile can truly digest and absorb other people's engine technology, and then bring forth the new and come up with its own engine technology.
Netizen "Feng Wenyan": Waiting for the products of Guanghui Automobile to come out, my first car will choose Guanghui Automobile, I believe that Boss Jiang will not let us down.
……
Compared with the generally positive comments of netizens, the comments of various domestic automobile companies are not very good.
Nanfang Nissan: Automotive technology is simple and simple, but it is actually quite difficult to say. Just by spending a little money, you want to master the technology, all I can say is, you are too naïve!
Northern Volkswagen: Ford is about to launch a new generation of engine technology, and the current production line is about to be eliminated, and some companies still regard it as a treasure.
Imperial Hyundai: The quality of Europe and the United States, the price of the Celestial Empire, choose Hyundai when buying a car, and Internet companies make cars, which is completely unreliable.
Kia: If you don't have diamonds, you don't want to do porcelain work! I think I can build a car by spending some money to buy a production line, who would dare to sit on such a car? Anyway, I wouldn't dare!
Ji Li: Enterprises in the Celestial Empire do need to have an international vision, but the premise is that their foundation must be solid, otherwise, no matter how much money they throw out, it will be a waste!
Qirui: With this money, it is better to invest in research and development and develop your own engine technology.
Beati: This fully explains the saying that people are stupid and come quickly, I don't know what foreigners think.
Oriental Passenger Cars: Some companies are so ambitious, do not do research in a down-to-earth manner, and try their best to overtake in corners and take shortcuts. If you have this money to buy technology abroad, it is better to buy it from us, and you can save 200 million US dollars in foreign exchange.
As the eldest son of the Republic, our group has invested billions of yuan to form our own engine technology. When buying a car, everyone still has to support the original domestic car.
……
Some people don't want to see one more competitor in the Celestial Empire market, and some people say that grapes are sour if they can't eat grapes.
Anyway, among the potential opponents of Guanghui Automobile, there are few who say good things about Guanghui Automobile.
I don't know if these people thought when they were talking that stepping on the Guanghui car like this would one day be worn by the Guanghui Group.
However, after seeing this news, at least the leaders of Wuyang City breathed a sigh of relief.
Selling 5,000 acres of land to Guanghui Automobile at one time, and building an automobile factory with a production capacity of 500,000 at one time for the first time in China, the pressure on the leaders of Wuyang City is relatively large.
Success, this is a political achievement.
If you fail, it's too ambitious. For a person in the system, a high-minded evaluation is very fatal, and it will basically ruin a person's development prospects in the system.
Now, no matter what the final model of Guanghui Automobile is, at least people have spent 200 million US dollars in real money to introduce several series of engine technology and production lines.
Just rushed to this, the leaders of Wuyang City knew that Guanghui Automobile wanted to engage in automobiles, and it was definitely not a joke.
This is actually very important.
In the idea that investment promotion is king, many places have paid a lot of price in order to get investment.
However, after the signing of the contract, many investors continue to delay the progress of the project, refuse to invest real money, and obtain other benefits from local requirements in disguise.
The leaders of Wuyang are also very worried that Guanghui Automobile wants so much land, whether it will be a reserve land in disguise.
That's not what everyone wants.
