Chapter 322: Epoch-making design
"Mr. Minamino, I'm sorry, I don't want to sell. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Toyota Kotaro still chose to shake his head. Although he was very greedy for the $2 million, he felt that he still had to follow his father's explanation.
After hearing the other party's answer, Minamino Shuichi was slightly disappointed, he always felt that he was very confident in winning Toyota Motor Manufacturing Company. After all, the above things he analyzed will prove that he can easily get it.
But he never thought that this Toyota Kotaro in front of him was so stubborn!
"That's it, although you have rejected me now, but what I said before is still valid, you can think about it again in the past three days, and I will personally come to your company again in three days. As soon as Minamino finished speaking, he took his leave.
Three days later, he came again, in fact, with the last glimmer of hope. He really didn't want to be rejected, he really wanted to buy Toyota!
Besides, if you have to contend with several consortia in island countries in the future, you will definitely not be able to rely on your own fishing companies alone. At that time, under the influence of this consortium, he will not want to be the master of the Hokkaido fishing grounds.
Shuichi Minamino's words Toyota Kotaro didn't say anything more, if he directly said that he didn't need to come, then he really firmly refused. At present, he is still a little hesitant, after all, 2 million US dollars, that is, more than 700 million yen, is placed there.
When she returned to the hotel, Iloti hurriedly asked, "How is it, did the other party agree to your acquisition?"
"Nope. Shuichi Minamino sighed.
"Don't think $2 million is enough, then give him another $500,000!" said Iloti coquettishly, as if she didn't take $500,000 seriously.
"No, the $2 million acquisition is already the biggest price I can give, and we'll lose money if we buy more!" Nanno Shuichi shook his head. If he were given an extra $500,000, he might as well just start a new car manufacturing company.
"Okay. ”
Three days later, Shuichi Minamino came to Toyota again, and he originally thought that Kotaro Toyoda would not accept him and turn him away. I didn't expect Kotaro Toyoda to receive him at once.
After meeting, Shuichi Minamino smiled and said, "Mr. Toyota, I don't know what you're thinking about?" He felt that the other party was willing to meet him immediately, and he must be willing to sell.
"I've thought about it, and I'm willing to sell you Toyota Motor Manufacturing Company and the Automotive Development Institute for $2 million. Kotaro Toyoda was a little bitter when he said this.
In fact, he didn't want to sell it originally!
But I don't know why the news that Shuichi Minamino was willing to buy Toyota Motor Manufacturing Company for $2 million reached the Mitsui consortium. After hearing the news above, he asked Kotaro Toyoda to sell it. So he had to sell. Besides, his wife is also a woman from the Mitsui family, and he agreed vaguely when the wind blows on the pillow at night.
As for why the Mitsui consortium is like this, there is also a reason why it wants to sell Toyota Motor Manufacturing Corporation. In recent years, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Company has almost gone bankrupt, not to mention a lot of debt. Even in the past two years, there has been no turnover. Now someone is spending $2 million on it, where would they not want to sell?
At present, the Mitsui consortium has not seen the potential of Toyota, so they are willing to sell it! The most important thing is that the Mitsui consortium is still recovering, and they feel that it is really worth it for a Toyota motor company to exchange $2 million!
As a result, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Co., Ltd., a member of the Toyota Group, became a subordinate of Shu Minamino.
That is, on this day, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Company really broke away from the Toyota Group!
It's been more than a week since everything was done.
$2 million for a Toyota Motor Manufacturing Company, which has three factories under its name, two auto parts manufacturing plants, an automobile combination factory, and an automobile development and research center near the factory building! There are dozens of researchers in this automobile development and research center, all of which are research centers for the development and research of automobiles, upgrading, and repairing and precipitating automobile technology.
In addition to the above, there is also a Toyota sales headquarters, which is all about marketing and sales. The above are all R&D cars, automobile manufacturing.
After buying this Toyota Motor Company, the first thing Shuichi Minamino did was to change the name of the company. Your sister's name is Toyota, this is someone's surname, of course he doesn't want to.
So he directly changed to: Nanno Automobile Company!
Since Shuichi Minamino bought the Toyota Motor Company, several high-level executives have resigned, including a president and several general managers. These people are all one of the henchmen of the Toyota family, and they are gone. It's not uncommon for Shuichi Minamino to keep them.
High-end management talents like this are recruited directly in the talent market!
Anyway, the most important and core thing of an automobile company is automobile manufacturing capacity and automobile research and development.
Fortunately, Shuichi Minamino has both of these things, so those high-level management can just leave, and it doesn't hurt at all.
In the past few days, Shuichi Minamino asked Iloti to go to the talent market to help him recruit a president, three general managers, the president must help take care of various affairs, as for the three general managers, one is logistics and sales, and one is financial.
Logistics includes the management of automotive production, automotive research, and much more. As for the sales general manager, it's about marketing and sales. Finance is more important, and auto companies like this need to deal with banks, and they need talents for loans in the future.
It took less than a week to recruit these talents, because there is no shortage of such talents in Tokyo.
Shuichi Minamino had a meeting with these people, explained some things and went to the Automobile Development and Research Center.
Here are some of the experts!
Shuichi Minamino plans to launch a brand new car by the end of this year, called the Minamino Generation!
As the so-called new officials take office, Shuichi Minamino has just become the new boss of this company, that is, Nanno Automobile Company, and he must inspect his employees.
In the conference room, dozens of researchers were looking at the young boss in front of them.
They don't care about changing bosses, as long as the monthly salary remains the same, the annual research funds are allocated and so on!
At first, Shuichi Minamino agreed that all of the above things made these people feel at ease. But the words of Shuichi Minamino below made them all speechless and disdainful.
"I plan to launch a new model at the end of this year, in November. I've thought of a name, and I'll call it the Nanno Generation! I've also designed a new model, so you can see what to do when the time comes. ”
As soon as this sentence came out, these experts were not happy.
"What kind of car do you design as a layman? Do you know cars? Do you think you're the original boss, Kiichiro Toyoda?"
"Huh...... I am afraid that the car company will face the danger of bankruptcy again. ”
"The new boss is not kidding, is he? Did he do this business before and invent the car?"
Anyway, these dozens of researchers below are all secretly in their hearts. But I didn't dare to say it in the open.
"Well, no more nonsense. This is the shape of the Minamino generation, which I call a streamlined sports design, and the purpose is to make it look good and attractive......! Of course, I didn't interfere with the engine, chassis, interior, etc., except for the exterior of the car. It's up to you to do everything you can to make changes. Shuichi Minamino took out a few design drawings and threw them to the experts.
That's right, the new type of car that Shuichi Minamino intends to launch is the Nanno generation, which intends to change the shape of the car!
I have to say that Shuichi Minamino is very disgusted by the appearance of the square-shaped, brick-shaped cars of this era, which is too ugly!
Not only in the 50s, but also in the 60s, 70s, 80s and even 90s, most of the cars were brick-shaped, square-square, like a rectangular brick!
Cars in the past few decades have not been at all about streamlined appearance, power, and wind design! It's disgusting to watch.
The design drawings taken out by Shuichi Minamino are all streamlined sports designs that belong to the 21st world, and they are also designed with wind power. Not only is it beautiful, but it also reduces resistance!
Anyway, this appearance is very good-looking, and once it is launched, it will definitely receive a lot of people's likes, who doesn't like their cars to look good?
This change by Shuichi Minamino only changed the appearance of the car, and did not change the core things such as the turf and engine inside. I believe that these researchers are very sympathetic to their innovation!
That is to say, the engine is still Toyota's, the ground is still Toyota's, and even the interior seats are still Toyota's. However, the appearance design has been updated, and it has been directly replaced by an advanced and beautiful design in later generations.
After these research designers circulated the drawings one by one, they were all shocked!
"This kind of shape design is so beautiful, so beautiful! This kind of design is called streamlined design? Well, it also combines the resistance of the wind to reduce the resistance, hey, is this called a popular sports design? It simply subverts my three views on design. A middle-aged man exclaimed. He is actually the exterior designer of Toyota's various models. But when he saw these design drawings, he felt that the exterior models he had designed before were just a bunch of garbage!
"How's that, what do you think of my innovation?"
"Very good, President, you are such a genius!"
"I believe that this model will be very popular as soon as it is launched, and by the way, it will be very popular with young people. ”
"I'm going to buy a car like this too!"
