Chapter 420: You don't know anything about power
Mason had heard that Li Fanyu's company had a certain strength in the Chinese automobile industry, but he did not expect that in less than a year, Zhengxin would develop to this point. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
He is also a member of the automotive community, and of course knows that CPM Group has not been doing well even in recent years. However, with more than 300 sales stores across the United States, CPM still firmly occupies the top few positions in the auto sales industry.
Therefore, after learning that Li Fanyu acquired 15% of the equity of the CPM Group's automobile marketing part, this product was really shocked by the slightly handsome Chinese boy in front of him.
After chatting for a while, when Li Fanyu learned that the sales of several of his models in the United States were not very good, he immediately inquired about the specific situation. Having worked in Rust, Mason knows a lot about the U.S. automotive market.
Although Lust is a traditional sports car brand, he has his own views on the predicament that Zhengxin is facing, "Dude, don't you think your company's products are out of step with the American market?"
Li Fan said foolishly: "What do you say?"
Is it out of tune? Li Fanyu is really a little interested in this word.
"You see, I haven't been in the market for two years. However, the consumption habits of American automobiles have not changed, and what are the best models sold here? They are SUVs and pickup trucks! Looking at your products? They are all mid-to-high-end sedans and entry-level sports cars! In the second-hand car business in the United States and its well-established market, the situation of this type of model itself is not very good. And let's be honest, there are already enough brands in the United States to occupy this piece of the pie. As a newly established car company like yours, without the background and technology that is not eye-catching enough, it will definitely be difficult to open up sales in the United States through sedans. ”
Li Fanyu smacked his lips, feeling that what he said made sense, but he didn't say it very useful, "Mason, what do you think I should do?"
Mason shrugged, "Dude, I don't know anything about your company. But judging by your existing models, your development direction has always been in the sedan genre. If you want to take a step forward in the U.S. market, I suggest that you should ask your company to start R&D on other types. ”
Mason is a very direct person, and because of the kind of self that is unique to Americans, he has no unspeakable concerns. Li Fanyu was able to come to visit him when he was so depressed now, and he had already made this careless and somewhat tenacious person a friend.
After opening this topic, Mason gave Li Fanyuzi a careful analysis of the U.S. market. Many things are similar to Anning's findings, but from an American's point of view, Mason analyzes in more detail, saying something that Anning didn't notice.
chatted for more than half an hour, which really made Li Fanyu feel stunned.
Time flies in conversation, and it's not too early to look at it. Considering the poor security environment near the scrapyard, Li Fanyu got up and said goodbye, "Mason, I think it's time for me to go." ”
"Oh, my friend, what a pleasure to talk to you. How long are you going to live in the U.S.? Maybe we can have a BBQ tomorrow, but I'm still thinking about the amazing skills you did at the Detroit Auto Show!"
Looking at this reluctant, Li Fanyu couldn't help but smile and said, "Come on, don't be so resentful." Well, I'll probably have to go back to China tomorrow. Dealing with some business stuff, but I think we'll meet again soon. ”
"Haha, that's good! Fool, I wish you a smooth journey tomorrow!"
Li Fan smiled and nodded, "But before I go, I want to borrow something from you." ”
Mason opened his mouth, "Haha, I heard you right, God! A billionaire would borrow something from poor Mason? Oh man, since you have spoken, you can take whatever you want! But you can't move the beer in the fridge and the doll in my bed, these two things are my spiritual pillars now." ”
Li Fanyu glanced at Mason's messy bed, and saw the inflatable girlfriend who had been ravaged like dough on it, and was deeply shocked.
Uncle! Have you washed it after you used it, your soul is weak! Who wants you to do this?!
"Uh...these two things are free, or leave it to yourself to enjoy slowly, tomorrow I will call the shipping company to come, and I want to bring those cars in your backyard back to China." ”
As soon as he heard that Li Fanyu wanted this, Mason patted his chest boldly, "No problem, foolish! I knew you were a tasteful person! These old cars, if they are slightly processed and placed in the yard or as decorations in the company, are definitely a perfect work of art! Haha, don't be afraid of your jokes, these beauties who have been reduced to yesterday's yellow flowers are one of the few gifts I can get." So don't say anything to borrow, it's all for you!"
Li Fanyu opened his mouth and choked back the words in his stomach. Feeling the friendship from Mason, he shook his hand vigorously and left.
The next day, the New York Andorra shipping company.
Anderson, the manager of the international logistics department, looked at the young man in front of him and asked in a polite but somewhat inexplicable tone: "Mr. Li, are you sure you want these ... cars to handle the air transportation business?"
Li Fanyu looked at Erlang's legs, smiled and nodded, "Yes." ”
"Well...if you've ever shipped by air before, you should know the price of freight...... with all due respect, sir, the cost may be much higher than the value of the consignment...I hope you will consider shipping by sea." ”,
In Andorra's view, tens of thousands of dollars are spent on the transportation of these "scrap iron". The young man in front of him either has a problem with his brain, or he is making fun of himself!
Looking at the disdain under Andorra's polite smile, Li Fanyu really said in his heart.
Hey my little temper tantrum!
He took out the checkbook directly from his arms and opened a check.
"Well, Mr. Andorra. Here is 50,000 dollars, except for the 42,000 freight, please help me make an insurance for the rest of the money. If these vehicles are damaged in transit, I can hold your company responsible. ”
Crying at the sight of money has always been a fine tradition of American businessmen.
Looking at the genuine Citibank check, Andorra instantly put away his little emotions, and the expression on his face almost wanted to find his long-lost father, "No problem! No problem, Mr. Li, I promise you, these cars will be handed over to you as they are!"
"It's better to be like that. Li Fanyu nodded with satisfaction and got up to say goodbye.
Walking out of the office and looking at Andorra, who was still amazed and had "The habits of rich people are really hard to guess" written on his face, Li Fanyu sneered in his heart.
Hmph, you don't know anything about power!
