After thinking for a while, Li Fanyu asked tentatively: "Chris, just tell me how big the pickup market is in the whole of Africa." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"It will definitely not be less than 700,000 units! Mr. Li, the number I mentioned is the part except for the civilian market!"

700,000 units?

And that's not counting the statistics on the civilian market......

When Chris said this, Li Fanyu seemed to understand what he was referring to......

"Chris, when you say this part of the market, you don't mean those ...... Illegal militants, right? If that's the case, this business is too sensitive?"

"No, no, no! It's not sensitive at all, this part of the market is just not officially statistical. But this does not mean that it is not legal, we are selling cars and meeting the market demand. Mr. Li, you have to be clear. Car... Not a weapon. ”

I rub ......

Lao Tie, what you said makes so much sense, I was speechless!

This layer of window paper was pierced by Li Fanyu, and Chris had no worries at all. began to analyze this in detail for him, the business opportunities hidden under the civilian market.

Because the economy of the African region is generally underdeveloped, out of consideration for transportation, which can promote economic development, and the intention of governments to relax policies, there is no mandatory scrapping of cars in Africa.

In other words, a car consumer can drive until it can't drive!

There are two main effects of this policy;

First, because of the long phase-out cycle, the number of cars in Africa can rise steadily.

The second is also because of the long elimination cycle, so the sales market of first-hand cars is growing slowly.

Therefore, with a total of nearly 1.2 billion people in Africa and nearly 300 million people with the ability to buy cars, the African auto market is still the slowest growth rate for the global auto market.

But!

Chris is talking about a different market.

Why?

Because of the chaos......

Africa is arguably the most politically unstable region in the world, with all kinds of civil strife and wars frequent. In the midst of this chaos, various local warlord armies and illegal armed forces have emerged.

Correspondingly, the pacification actions of various countries have not been interrupted. Even some countries with interests in the African region have sent military forces to intervene. There are two kinds of military forces here: one is regular small-scale troops, and the other is mercenaries.

These forces are really intricate.

It is under this kind of intricacy that the black uncles with poor equipment, poor military skills, and poor strategic awareness on the land of Africa are the protagonists, and a low-profile version or even a nonsensical version of "Warring States" is staged.

But in any case, to fight a war you need troops, you need military power, you need transportation power!

Therefore, in the African version of the Warring States, all kinds of things with thin skin and big fillings and cheap resistance can become NO.1 props on the battlefield.

For example, AK47, for example...... Pickup

It is different from the civilian market, a car, you maintain it on time, even if the car is garbage, it is no problem to repair and drive for ten or eight years.

But on the battlefield it's different.

On the battlefield, a car can die in 800 different ways, including being maimed by AK47 strafing, including being maimed by .50 machine gun fire, including being directly wiped out by missiles, including being smashed by a black uncle driver with low driving skills, and never being scrapped by careful maintenance......

Anyway, the cars on the battlefield are hard. Far less than the brothers in the civilian market have a long life.

Here, the obsolescence rate of cars is higher than in any other country!

Even, for some areas where the fighting is fierce, cars and condos are of the same nature - they are all disposable consumer goods.

So in the African market, there will be a lot of high-volume car purchase orders. And this kind of gold owner never asks for invoices, after-sales and three guarantees......

People are stupid, have a lot of money, a large amount of orders, and buy frequently.

This is simply the most ideal customer in the world!

After hearing Chris's words, Li Fanyu's saliva stayed.

But after saying that, Chris's tone became significantly lower, "It's a pity...... If the F150 can be sold in Africa, and further if it can be produced in Africa, it will definitely bring huge profits......!

After hanging up the phone, Li Fanyu hurriedly contacted the OEM.

Li Fanyu didn't know if the data Chris said was accurate, but he could understand the business opportunities contained in this rheology with a little thought!

If you put such a big market and don't see it, what kind of business is it doing?

But the OEM's reply made Li Fan stupid and didn't fight anywhere.

When Chris told him this just now, Li Fanyu actually didn't intend to believe it. In any case, there was no agreement with DME on the F150 sales rights. If you are Li Fanyu herself, you must have reservations about what you say.

He has fully understood this kind of Westerners' way of speaking and doing things without vesting interests and not making information public.

After an explanation from the OEM, Li Fanyu knew that things were really not that simple!

The market that Chris describes is absolutely real.

But what he didn't say was that if you want to do business with all armed forces on the land of Africa, you have to have strength and connections!

That's right, in addition to car loans and other businesses, the most important business of DME's banks is to provide financial services for these forces.

To put it bluntly, it is to provide these armed forces with a legal channel for foreign funds to purchase materials and weapons and the like!

And by controlling this channel, DME was able to earn money from these forces through various methods......

In other words, the car procurement needs of these forces are completely the confinement of DME.

Even if the OEM can overcome the current sanctions imposed by African countries on American capital and enter the market, they will be able to get this business!

It is precisely because of this dependence that Chris will not hide this market to Li Fanyu at all.

At the end of the day, Chris still doesn't give up. threw out this big cake that Li Fanyu couldn't eat, and he also wanted to put pressure on Li Fanyu to the OEM again.

This Nima is very annoying.

The OEM side is now holding the product and cannot enter the market.

DME is just grasping the market and wants a powerful automotive product.

The difficult thing is that because of competition and interests, it is impossible for these two parties to join forces to do this business.

Li Fanyu was caught in the middle, feeling so aggrieved......

Well?

Bridge bean sacks!

Now Hongguang's sales are not as unrestrained as expected, and Huaicheng's production line can fully meet the production task. In that case, why didn't Nima develop a car specifically for the African market?!

Thinking of this, he quickly turned on his phone and searched for information on the African pickup market. After the change of the historical process of automobiles, as the second-developed African market, various models are simply chaotic, and Rao is Li Fanyu, an insider, is dizzy when he sees it.

But when he looked at it, he suddenly slapped his thigh - he discovered something amazing.

Wipe!

In this time and space, there are no African chariots?!
