Chapter 262: Tang Dynasty A4
Continued on: After listening to Friech's words, Clinton also felt that the matter was serious, and he said to Fricht with a serious expression: "Mr. Fricht, do you have any ways to deal with it, such as increasing sanctions and so on?" ”
"Unfortunately, Mr. President, we don't think there is a way to deal with Changsheng Investment Group for the time being. Ordinary sanctions, including economic sanctions, have been ineffective or ineffective against them. It's an extremely closed company, and they have little dependence on the outside world.
They're trying to build an all-industry industrial enterprise, and they're different from our companies in the United States. Our U.S. company pays attention to the division of labor and cooperation, and believes that only one specialization and being the top in the industry is the right business strategy, and in fact, this idea is not wrong.
But this Chinese company is an anomaly, they do everything, even if it is a small screw, and they have a completely dishonest attitude towards outside parts. Except for the parts they produce, the parts produced by other companies do not meet their quality standards.
Yes, it's so amazing, they have their own quality standards, the most stringent quality standards in the world, the so-called Changsheng Laboratory Quality Standards. After our investigation, in the past few years, that is, since the establishment of this company, there has never been a single complaint about their company's products, and the quality is surprisingly good.
Therefore, the import restrictions on the import of scientific and technological equipment imposed on this Chinese company are not effective at all. Economic sanctions will also have little effect, because their main body is in China, and even if we shut down all their branches around the world, it will only hurt them in the face. This is because they are a zero-debt company, which is simply incredible.
All of them are against the business strategy of our American business, and they are still alive and well, and they are going from strength to strength. If we hadn't stopped them, I wouldn't have dared to resemble what this company would become. "Mr. Frich made a lot of generalities, but he did not propose a constructive solution.
"Mr. Fricht, there is a contradiction in your words, saying that sanctions are ineffective, but at the end you say that sanctions must be imposed. I'm all confused by you. Clinton pointed out the inconsistencies in Friech's words.
"There's nothing wrong with that, Mr. President. The ineffectiveness of sanctions does not mean that there are no sanctions, and if we do sanction, we will always create some trouble for them and stop their momentum of rapid growth.
Therefore, I think there is still a need for sanctions, and there should be all-round sanctions. Frich said with a serious expression.
"Well, since you said so, then sanction it! I will immediately issue an order to the Ministry of Commerce. But...... Mr. Fricht, can't you deal with them by unconventional means?" Clinton took Frich's advice and finally put forward another idea.
"We don't think it's going to work, and we might even lose it. Speaking of which, I have to say, this company is really weird. They are private enterprises, but they are in the state enterprise system, and the employees are for life, and the salaries are very high, and the ordinary means of economic co-optation are basically ineffective.
Moreover, modern science and technology is already a multi-category, multi-disciplinary comprehensive scientific and technological system, and one or two employees alone only know a single field, and have limited knowledge of the whole. Maybe we spend a lot of money, but it doesn't necessarily have any effect, but it will cause them to be alert. Louis Frich replied with a helpless shake of his head.
"Well, in that case, let's not seek immediate results, take your time! Clinton was a rare kind remark.
Although Shen Danqing didn't know that the U.S. government was trying to deal with Changsheng Investment Group, he also made precautions. He always does things before he wins and loses, and since he has been exposed, don't leave it to chance. So he instructed Zhang Tingdong to quickly collect the funds and then find a method of offshore payment. In this way, losses can be minimized.
Now the situation of Changsheng Investment Group is quite dangerous, and it will really capsize. It is necessary to hold a general meeting of the company to tell everyone about this Yan Jun situation and make specific arrangements.
Just do it, at this time, he couldn't hesitate at all, he immediately walked to Secretary Liu's office outside, and said to him: "Secretary Liu, inform all the senior management of the company to come to the company for a meeting tomorrow, I have something important to announce." ”
With that, he went back to the office to consider countermeasures. Europe and the United States must have more luck than luck, and can only adopt the method of comprehensive contraction. The United States, in particular, can only withdraw cleanly. Now Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Southeast Asia are not necessarily safe. However, we should not waste food because of the stalk, because the smart life plan is related to the company's long-term layout, and we must not stop the pace.
It seems that the plan to create a mid-range brand will inevitably be accelerated, and the domestic product sales are only suitable for mid-range brands, and those foreign brands are only sold in China at this time, and the real top brands are still nowhere to be seen in China at this time. With the creation of the mid-block brand, the existing enterprise group can be converted to the production of mid-block products, although the income will be reduced by a large margin, and it will not stop production and reduce production.
And so it should be...... So......
Shen Danqing slowly sketched an overall step chart in his mind, and his heart finally quieted down. Losses are inevitable, and there will be significant losses. But there are two sides to the story, and the losses at this time are nothing compared to the losses caused by the sanctions later.
Thinking about it, Shen Danqing didn't plan to think about these annoying questions anymore. He got up and walked outside, and went to the car exterior design team in a routine story.
Now they all have new design tasks, that is, a two-person team of sports car designers who have not been assigned new tasks, and they are also starting from scratch. However, the designer responsible for designing the spring C1 four-door hatchback had the easiest task. Shen Danqing checked his works first.
Sure enough, his work is almost finished, and now he's scrutinizing the details. Shen Danqing stood behind him and took a look and found that the biggest change was the tailgate, because it was a liftback door, it was no longer an upright plane, and the glass window had an inclination of nearly 60 degrees, a bit like the tailgate design of Beverly, but the glass window was designed to be very short, only accounting for about 3/7 of the entire door, less than half. The rest of the door is a slightly bulging and somewhat curved design. The whole design was a success and did not spoil the overall aesthetic. Shen Danqing is very pleased, this designer has basically become a talent, and it is very rare to be able to achieve such a beautiful design without his guidance.
Shen Danqing didn't say anything and turned to look behind another designer, although he had a new model to give him to design, wait for his work to be completed! Don't disturb his train of thought now.
The designer in front of him is responsible for designing the B-class car, Shen Danqing has not yet figured out which brand to use, but he still prefers the spring brand in his heart, but the Tang Dynasty brand car also needs a smaller model. It seems that there are only two models of chassis, and the appearance can be changed a little, which can save a lot of trouble.
It's just a rough line now, but it's already a whole silhouette. He took a look and saw that the designer had designed the car to be quite avant-garde, a bit of a four-door sports car, and full of sportiness.
The front grille was designed by him to be flattened and almost oval-shaped, like the mouth of a beast. The narrow blister headlights, as if blown by the strong wind blistered like this, the width of the 20 centimeters of the front Ji plate downward oblique, the huge Tang Dynasty car logo inlaid in the middle of the front Ji plate, the front cover actually only occupies half of the front of the car, complete sports car style. It seems that the designer was very interested in hearing him say that he had designed a car for himself, and he went a little too far and designed it to look like a four-door sports car, and it seems that every young person has a wild heart is really right. Forget it, let him design it like this! The spring brand car will be designed again! This car will be regarded as the Tang Dynasty A4!
In Shen Danqing's planning, the smallest model of Tang Dynasty cars is Tang Dynasty A4, unlike later Audi cars, there are A3, A2, A1 and other models. Luxury cars should have the model of luxury cars, and cars with too small displacement should not be manufactured.
When the designer turned the tail to the front, Shen found that this Tang Dynasty A4 was more like a sports car. The rear end is an exaggerated long downward slope and is also fully sports car style. Passenger comfort in the rear-seated is not considered at all, and the driver is given priority. In fact, this concept is quite in line with the functional positioning of the urban coupe, which is an urban coupe that shows the personality of young people.
Seeing that this designer didn't have anything to guide him, Shen Danqing went to check the work behind another designer.
These are two works in charge of real sports car design, they are still a little less skilled, or they have not developed their own unique style, and the meaning of imitation is very strong, this time it is not like Ramberghini, but like Ferrari.
Lack of imagination is such a result, which car you pay attention to, you will unconsciously be affected by this car, which is a common problem of all designers who are not skilled at home.
It seems that these two designers are really not suitable for designing works alone, and maybe give them a little more time.
"Ahem!" Shen Danqing coughed twice to attract the attention of the two designers, and when they turned their heads to see themselves, Shen Danqing said to them: "Your work is not good, it still takes the imitation route, and does not have its own design concept." Don't be in a hurry to write, because you should think more and learn more until you have your own unique ideas, and then start drawing!
This work is scrapped, let's start anew!"
After Shen Danqing said these words coldly, he ignored the emotions of the two and turned around and returned to his office.
To be continued......
