Chapter 1335: Верный, buddy!
The efficiency of domestic Zhengxin is very high.
After Li Fanyu's news was transmitted back to China, he immediately organized manpower, led by Zhou Mingming, the current executive president of Zhengxin Volkswagen, and arrived in Yefim, Russia the next day.
In the hotel, after Li Fanyu and the team clarified their intentions, he directly sent a message to Yefim and set a date for consultation.
Naturally, there was a lot of joy over there.
Three days later, after fully inspecting the actual situation of the Yefim factory and the advantages and disadvantages of the company, the two sides sat down at the negotiating table at the head office of Yefim.
"We've taken a closer look at your production status, and to put it mildly, your production system is too low-end. Moreover, some conditions of your quality management system and market are far from meeting the standards of joint venture with Zhengxin. ”
Facing Yefim's leaders, Zhou Ming said bluntly.
This caused a wave of embarrassment on the part of the other party.
"Ahem, Mr. Zhou, the reason why we value this cooperation is actually to be able to make up for some of our disadvantages with the help of Zhengxin's rich experience and cutting-edge technology in the field of automobile manufacturing. Wish...... This, hopefully......"
In the face of the professionalism and aura shown by the Zhengxin delegation in the past three days, Kirilenko, the general manager of Yefim Automobile, was a little short of words for a while.
Yefim is a second-tier automobile manufacturer in Russia, where the automobile industry is not big, and Zhengxin is now one of the top car manufacturers in China, and at the same time, after the previous acquisition of Rolls-Royce, its international status has risen, and it is famous in Europe for its achievements in Bentley, mini, and shared cars in the United Kingdom.
The two companies are not at the same level. So there is no reciprocity in such negotiations.
Seeing this, Zhou Zhou Ming smiled secretly in his heart, but still said with a cold face: "If we have a joint venture with you, then we need to support you in technology, equipment and management, which will undoubtedly cost us a lot of money and human resources." ”
As soon as they heard this, Yefim's leadership was all in the eye, didn't they hope for that?
"Mr. Zhou, this is the case, but you must also take into account the advantages of our Yefim! If your group enters into a joint venture with us and invests technology, management and capital into us, it will certainly become a major project in the field of industrial cooperation between Russia and China.
We are also a state-owned enterprise, in this case, we guarantee that we can go to the government to carry out a lot of favorable policy conditions for your group, in order to ensure the success of the direction of cooperation between you and me!"
Hearing this, Zhou Ming seemed to hesitate for a moment and said: "However, if this is the case, why don't we cooperate with an automobile manufacturer like Rossa? You know, as Russia's No. 1 automobile brand, the policy preferences they enjoy are definitely better than yours, right?"
"No, no, no, we know Russia's position in the current market, and we really can't match it in this regard. But one thing you have to consider is that Yefim has now become a transit station for the Asia-Europe railway line, if Zhengxin Group cooperates with us, then your group's spare parts imported parts can be transported directly from Longjiang Province to Yefim by Li Chunzi's smiling transportation line.
And we can take advantage of this cooperation to win the privilege of joint venture tariff amnesty for your group! This is our advantageous condition, which can greatly reduce the cost and time for your group. You must know that the Russian automobile side cannot do this! In order to show our sincerity, you can write this point into the cooperation agreement!"
Hearing this, Zhou Ming's heart moved slightly.
......
After the first day of contact, Li Fanyu, who received Zhou Ming's report, was already very satisfied.
The previous idea of cooperating with Russian Automobile was also getting weaker and weaker.
"Chairman Li, with this condition, we can completely abandon the link of setting up industrial clusters in Russia, and directly use the domestic spare distribution supply chain, and only carry out the production and assembly of core components here. This is indeed a big plus.
It's just that...... I am concerned that their commitment will be affected by policy changes. You know, the Russian government's attitude towards foreign companies has always been quite rude. The scene of Russia's expulsion of Chinese businessmen in '09 and '10 is still vivid. ”
Li Fanyu was very satisfied with Zhou Ming's steadiness and determination in the face of temptation.
"You're right, but you have to be clear, if we reach a cooperation with Yefim, then we have to make a big noise. As big as ...... The president has to come forward and nod his head. Only in this way can some ghosts, ghosts, snakes and gods not be able to move us, and only in this way can we stand here steadily, not affected by policy changes. ”
It is no secret that Zhao Zhongxu was attacked in Russia before, and Zhou Ming naturally knew what Li Fanyu meant.
He thought for a moment and said, "Then our investment will be big." ”
"It's not big, it's nothing more than starting a production line, and it's up to you to do big and small. Li Fanyu smiled slightly, took out a draft from his drawer, and put it in front of Zhou.
"You see, I have even thought about the follow-up joint venture model, this model, even the production line of Yefim that is on the verge of obsolescence can be produced. ”
Zhou Ming's eyes lit up, and he immediately took the sketch of the model with the Volkswagen logo painted on it.
As far as the eye can see, it is a square model, whether it is a document or an interior, it looks very atmospheric. It is...... It's just that in terms of the current design standards, it looks too ...... Somewhat outdated.
"It's ......"
Li Fan smiled foolishly, "Since it is decided to be Yefim, then it would be a pity that their existing production lines were thrown away, clean up and put their quality isolation system up, it can still be used as waste." Well, this model doesn't look good, does it?"
Zhou Ming nodded awkwardly.
"This model is also a waste company. Li Fan smiled foolishly and said something that made Zhou Ming unclear.
How can a model that has just been designed be said to be waste-driven?
Looking at the model name of "верный" on the sketch, Zhou Zhou Ming didn't quite understand, "Li Dong, I don't know much Russian, what does this mean?"
Li Fan smiled foolishly, "Well, if this model is produced in China, then it should be called ...... Jetta Partner ...... This Russian word means partner or buddy. ”
That's right, the model that Li Fanyu took out was the second-generation Jetta before the history of the car changed, that is, in 2004 and 2010, it was invincible in the Chinese auto market, but it has long been eliminated now...... FAW-Volkswagen, Jetta partner!
