What Gao Yuan said was not a joke. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At that time, although Apple had not yet produced the popular Apple mobile phone that swept the world, its market value at that time also reached nearly 10 billion US dollars!

Moreover, Apple is a high-tech company, and their business is mainly desktop computers, software and music products.

Lin Feng runs a car company, and he actually wants to cooperate with Apple?

Can Jobs say yes?

That's why Gao Yuan dared to let out such wild words.

When Lin Feng heard this, he just smiled slightly, and he didn't mind.

He certainly wouldn't go to Jobs to talk about producing cars.

There is a specialization in the art industry!

Old Joe is destined to show his skills in another industry!

All Lin Feng had to do was to give Lao Qiao an arm when he needed help the most!

Starting the next day, Lin Feng led a delegation from Jiangqi to Buick to negotiate business.

Buick Automobile Company is a brand marketed by General Motors in the United States, Canada and China. It is sold in North America, China, the CIS countries, as well as in the Middle East.

Lin Feng has in-depth cooperation with General Motors.

Jiangqi-GM became the first domestic manufacturer to produce the Cadillac brand.

With such an advantage, Lin Feng came to Buick Automobile Company to look for new cooperation.

A vice president of Buick received Lin Feng and his party.

This vice president's name is Obel, a white and fat middle-aged man, when he saw Lin Feng, the first sentence he said was actually in Chinese: "Boss Lin, long admire the name!"

Lin Feng was stunned at first, and then laughed: "Mr. Obel, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Obel shook hands with Lin Feng and said humorously: "When you come to our country, shouldn't you go to meet the boss of Cadillac first? Why did you come to meet me instead?"

"It's all from your general company, and this doesn't distinguish between each other, right?" Lin Feng said with a smile, "Moreover, I came today to make a special trip to Buick to discuss cooperation." ”

"However, it is Cadillac, not Buick, that is working with you. Obert spread his hands.

"Mr. Obel, we can also reach a deeper cooperative relationship. ”

"Oh, you Jiangqi, do you still want to open a Jiangqi Buick company? I'm very sorry, we have reached cooperation with other manufacturers in your country, if Boss Lin still wants to cooperate with us, it will take a little more trouble. ”

"Oh no, my cooperation with you will not affect your current partnership. ”

"Really?" Obert became interested, "Boss Lin, how are you going to cooperate with us?"

"We Jiangqi would like to invite your company to become our joint venture manufacturer, and our full range of Jiangqi models are authorized to be produced by your Buick company. Lin Feng said solemnly and with a serious face.

Obert listened very carefully, and when he fully understood the meaning of Lin Feng's words, he showed a meaningful smile.

"Oh, I guess, I figured out what you meant. Ober's hands, constantly changing, making various gestures, "Do you want Buick to produce your joint venture car?"

"Yes, that's what it means. Lin Feng smiled slightly, "This will be a unique cooperation." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Obert's smile became odd, "If I take your advice, then I will become the laughing stock of the whole country." ”

He felt that what he said hurt people's self-esteem too much, grinned, and said: "Boss Lin, I welcome you to come to the United States, on behalf of Buick Automobile Company, you are welcome to visit and investigate, you can visit here at will, I will arrange a special person to accompany you." ”

Lin Feng said: "Mr. Obel, please don't talk about him left and right. ”

The latter sentence, when said in English, would become more difficult to understand, but Lin Feng still said so.

Obert seemed to understand, spread his hands, and smiled helplessly: "There can be no cooperation between us, as you said. ”

Lin Feng said, "Why?"

Obert took it for granted: "We will only find other countries to jointly produce our cars, how can we cooperate with other car companies to produce other brand cars?"

Lin Feng said: "When GM was first established, there was only one brand, GM, right? Later, GM continued to acquire and expand, and Chevrolet, Opel, Vauxhow, and other world-famous car brands were acquired later. This shows that GM needs to constantly absorb fresh blood. Right?"

"Oh, of course. Obert nodded, "However, an acquisition is different from a joint venture. Moreover, I can't think of any advantages that Jiangqi has that is worthy of our cooperation?"

Lin Feng said: "Mr. Obel, before I came, I heard that the people of the United States have a special sense of local superiority, I didn't believe it before, but now I believe it." ”

Obert smiled.

Lin Feng said: "Do you think that the cars running on the entire American continent are all produced by your general company?"

Aubert smiled bitterly: "That can't be. ”

Lin Feng said: "Volkswagen's market share is not low, right? Also, the market share of Japanese cars in the United States is very high?"

Obert held his chin in his hand and squinted his eyes, looking at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng said: "In the seventies of the last century, the sales of Japanese cars reached half of the sales of cars in the United States!"

Obert's face showed a solemn look of thought.

Lin Feng said: "Moreover, your General Motors Company is not without a precedent for joint ventures to produce cars with others, right?"

Obert nodded: "There is indeed a precedent. ”

After entering the 80s, the United States had to curb the trade of the island countries, but on the other hand, the United States manufacturers hoped to change the management mode through joint ventures and learn lean management.

In this context, Toyota staged a transaction of exchanging management for the market, and the new United Automobile Manufacturing Company came into being.

Toyota set up this joint venture company just to test the waters, and after taking possession of the market, they quickly established a number of automobile companies and left our joint venture company aside. ”

Lin Feng said: "Since there has been a precedent, I think our joint venture production can also be realized." ”

"No, it's not necessary! Jiangqi is not Toyota, there is no excellent management, and there is no technology worth learning. We will not work with you. ”

Lin Feng smiled: "I think, you were bitten by a snake once, and you were afraid of the well rope for ten years, right?"

He said another common saying, and it took a lot of effort to make the other party understand.

Obert just shook his head: "No matter what you say, we will not accept the proposal of a joint venture." I'm so sorry!"

However, Lin Feng did not give up, he firmly believed and continued to persuade! )
