Chapter 445: Target: Pickup Market!

Li Fanyu is not interested in those two sports car projects. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info To be honest, there are a lot of supercar data packets in the Xapp space. As long as the R&D points are enough and the conditions allow, he can make it at any time.

The reason for leaving these two projects was to act as bait - to retain Kurbo and the engineers who were technically competent and technically sound in terms of information.

This bait, after a moment's hesitation, little Coulbo bit hard.

Li Fanyu is right, if it is operated by means of equity. After obtaining more than 50% of the OEM's shares, it is completely possible to use the dilution method to squeeze the shares in his hands to infinitesimal size in minutes - this is a big stick.

Taking 10,000 steps back, 47 percent of the shares are worth more than $200 million. Even if Li Fanyu doesn't help him with project research and development, he can use the money to start a new business on his own. Not to mention that Li Fanyu promised to sign an agreement in addition to the equity transfer contract, promising to provide him with the manpower and material resources needed for the project - this is a date.

Under the coercion and temptation of dates + sticks, Little Kurbo signed the equity transfer contract that night.

After signing this contract, Kurds Jr. can be regarded as Li Fanyu's subordinates in name.

Seeing his reluctant appearance, Li Fanyu pulled the disgruntled goods to the bar.

When I learned in the casual chat that the company in front of me from the Chinese teenager had completed the research and development of six models in just one year, and the models were selling well in the market. Little Kurbo reversed his previous attitude and became enthusiastic about Li Fanyu.

It can't be said that people like little Coulbo are simple-minded, and the Ph.D. in Stanford University's School of Engineering must have an IQ far above average.

He has wisdom, but he has put it into his own field. In terms of human sophistication, if he wants to, he can actually play with a little brain. It's just that he doesn't want to put extra energy into this.

To put it bluntly, this is a common problem of some technical talents - high IQ and lazy to use emotional intelligence.

As long as such people grasp their character, it is actually not difficult to get along.

With topics related to R&D projects, Li Fanyu directly opened the window of the soul of this product. The two started the competition mode on some trivial things in the research and development process.

Zhengxin's models are not well-known in the United States, but it is undeniable that every car under Zhengxin is quite legendary.

In the process of research and development, Li Fanyu accumulated experience and knowledge, which made Xiao Kuerbo, who had been trapped in the quagmire of the project for a long time, feel and teach.

And little Kurbo, a high-achieving student at Stanford Engineering School, also made Li Fanyu feel lucky to find a living treasure in addition to appreciating his major.

As a result, in the end, the two ordered two drinks in the bar and chatted directly until the second half of the night. If it weren't for Li Fanyu in the end, he really couldn't stand it, and it is estimated that little Kulbo would be able to pull him to chat all night.

But this night was not in vain, through the conversation with him, Li Fanyu learned about the OEM's engineers and skilled workers.

Most of these people have followed the old Coulbo in the past, and there is no shortage of skills or experience.

This saved Li Fanyu the boss's troubles.

U.S. companies have high standards of employment, and they are subject to labor associations. If the original middle and grassroots units of the OEM company are withdrawn, the employment alone will be a big problem for a foreign-funded offshore company such as Zhengxin Branch.

The United States is still in the recovery period after the economic crisis, and the government has imposed a series of mandatory requirements for enterprises. In the case of the automobile manufacturing industry, there must be no less than 60 percent skilled workers in the United States. Now the original workers of the OEM stay, and then transfer some backbones from China to fill in, as long as a little run-in can be carried out.

That's a lot of fun.

Next.

After solving the biggest problem in the acquisition process, Li Fanyu discussed the next task with Mason - how to open the US market.

According to Mason's idea, two models were selected from Zhengxin's current models. Rely on the OEM's production line for local production, and then relaunch it after reducing costs across the board. In his opinion, the current mini sales are not bad, and the A8, which is now in the limelight in China, can also be taken to the American market to increase the brand value.

There is nothing wrong with the idea itself.

However, Li Fanyu has his own considerations; the branch has just been established, and it is bound to bring in some backbone personnel from China. These people have become accustomed to the production model of Zhengxin, and when they get together with these people from the OEM, there will definitely be some differences in the process of cooperation.

And judging from the current situation, the OEM production method is obviously more scientific and reasonable, and Li Fanyu intends to transplant this method and system back to China.

From these aspects, it is better to develop a new model and then use the OEM's existing production inspection system. In this way, the branch can promote the run-in between the two parts of the Chinese and American personnel. For China, it can also have a better understanding and perception of this system, and then bring it back to the power company to popularize.

Li Fanyu's decision, of course, Mason has no opinion.

Now Zhengxin's several cars are not selling very well in the United States, and he is of course in favor of developing new models to reposition themselves and open up the market with a new look and attitude.

The two men came to an agreement, which led to another question.

What kind of car should be launched for the U.S. market?

For this point, Li Fanyu actually has a plan in his heart.

In response to Mason's question, he smiled and asked, "What is the situation in the U.S. market now?"

Mason thought for a moment and then came up with the answer, "Well, boss, that's what you asked." We just did market research. At present, the total transaction value of the U.S. auto market is about 220 billion US dollars, excluding the used car part, the transaction value is about 150 billion yuan. In these 150 billion miles, pickup trucks and off-road vehicles occupy half of the country. Among them, pickup trucks accounted for 32 percent, and off-road vehicles accounted for 29 percent. ā€

Li Fanyu nodded, very satisfied with his work efficiency, "Very good, it is a good habit to pay attention to the market at all times." Since pickup trucks are the hottest in the market, there's no reason why we shouldn't get a piece of the pie!"

"But the boss... It seems that there is no experience in the development of pickup trucks in China?"

"Who said that!" Li Fanyu glared and smiled.

Mason spread his hands and took out his fingers to count: "Uh... You see, X-power, A4, A6, A8, TT, mini ......"

Li Fanyu waved his hand mysteriously, "Mason, these are just the models we are selling." Leave the new model to me, and you will leave it alone. I'll go back to China tomorrow, and while I'm going back, you straighten out all aspects of the company, and when I come back, I'll take you to conquer the American pickup market!"
