Chapter 90: The Idea of Fighting Audi (3)

These will be because of Ye Kai's accidental intervention, and the future development of Audi is in an unknown state, and long-term being in such a state will aggravate and even drag down the development of Volkswagen, and it is very likely that Volkswagen will repeat the old path of Mercedes-Benz. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Audi, which has cut off its technology source and does not have strong R&D capabilities, will make Volkswagen's board of directors, after absorbing Audi's technology, reconsider Audi's future path. Then, at this time, if there are local people who make a request for acquisition for the sake of the family's dream, then there is a high probability that they will agree to sell the subsidiary again, and Ye Kai bets on this possibility!

"What if Volkswagen is a state-owned enterprise?" Ye Kai said indifferently. "I'm not buying Volkswagen, I'm just buying his subsidiaries. Moreover, I bought Audi just to cover up our new company before it launches a new car. ”

"Why?" Kyro asked curiously. "If we set up a new company, it will bring tax revenue to the local area and solve the employment problem of the local people, I don't see anything to cover up?"

"How did Borgward Group go bankrupt back then, I think you should know very well, right?" Ye Kai was silent for a moment, looked at Kailuo and said in a deep voice. "Didn't the Borgward Group bring tax revenue to the local area and solve the employment problem of the local people? At that time, you accounted for 60% of the export share, how much money did you cut off from others? Do you think your enemy is only BMW? Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz should be your enemies, but they haven't surfaced for you to notice. ”

"Do you think that so many enemies will make you re-establish this once glorious brand? There is only one answer, and that is never, unless the influence of this brand disappears from people's memory. Therefore, until the new model of the new company is determined, the new company will not be listed to attract everyone's attention. ”

"Before that, we can only paralyze everyone's consciousness by acquiring ready-made automobile manufacturers, so that everyone thinks that your Borgward family has abandoned the family brand. And this automaker I chose Audi. Don't worry, I bought this company as a sole proprietorship, and I just asked you to help me. ”

Ye Kai chose Audi for his reasons, first of all, Audi's Onekasum factory is one of the oldest automobile factories in Germany, founded in 1873, formerly a knitting factory in Reedlingen on the Danube, moved to Neckarsum in 1880, initially produced bicycles and motorcycles, and was the first motorcycle manufacturer in Germany. In 1906, the Neckarsum plant began production of NSU brand cars. The Neckarsulm plant has become one of Audi's most important plants, producing high-end Audi models such as the A5/S5, A6/S6, A7/S7, A8/S8/A8L, while the extremely sporty RS and R8/R8Spyder models are produced by quattro GmbH, also located at the Neckarsulm plant.

Located in the southeastern German state of Baden-Württemberg, the city of Neckarsum takes its name from the rivers Neckar and Sum, which flow through the city, and has a population of about 26,600 and nearly 34,000 jobs, with about 122,000 people working in this important automotive industry. The Audi Nekasum plant is the largest company in Germany's prosperous "Heilbronn-Franconia" economic zone, with a plant area of around 1 million square meters. In its previous life, the Neckarsum plant employed a record 15,163 people.

Since 1984, the experts at Neckarsum have been developing high-performance gasoline engines, from V8 to V10, from ordinary FSI direct injection engines to TFSI supercharged direct injection engines, from passionate race tracks to ultra-sporty supercars, and the Audi engine team has won numerous applause.

In particular, the Audi Racing Engine Development Department, founded in 1989, has won hundreds of national and international championships for Audi. It is worth mentioning that Audi has become a perennial winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans - the Audi R8 from 2000 to 2002, the Audi R10 from 2006 to 2008, the Audi R15TDI in 2009 and the Audi R18TDI in 2011, the Audi R18 e-tron in 2012 and 2013. The quattro was the champion of the year.

Moreover, Audi has had a wealth of expertise in innovative lightweight design since 1994. The 196 employees at the Neckarsum Lightweight Design Center have already received triple-digit patents and numerous international awards, which in turn form the basis and source of innovation for the Audi Space Frame (ASF) lightweight body concept.

Heinrich, the father of Audi lightweighting - director of the lightweight design center? Tim: "Audi has been able to achieve something that no one else has been able to achieve in the field of lightweighting because we have been at the forefront right from the start. The entire automotive world was stunned when the first Audi A8 (D2) was introduced in 1994 with the Audi Space Frame Structure (ASF), a lightweight body that offered enormous space for the car's sporty performance and design. What you don't see is the secret experiments that we have been doing behind the scenes for more than a decade and countless times. ”

Coupled with the unique electronic safety technology of Audi AG in the previous life, it can be seen that the excellence of the team behind Audi is beyond doubt. Moreover, the success of Audi in the previous life, from the current Ye Kai's point of view, whether his technology comes from the Borgward Group or not, at least they are well absorbing the acquired technology and carrying it forward, which is the value of this team.

And such factories and teams are what Ye Kai likes, and the Audi brand is secondary, because the most important factor for a company's success is people, including managers, design and development people, salespeople and skilled workers.

"Okay, boss, I got it." After understanding Ye Kai's painstaking efforts, Kailuo said with emotion. "Whether my eldest brother agrees with your conditions or not, I swear to serve the company for life."

"I think your choice will be wise." Ye Kai stood up, shook hands with Kai Luo and said. "You communicate my opinion to your eldest brother as soon as possible, but pay attention to confidentiality. If your eldest brother agrees, I will let my team of lawyers rush to West Germany as soon as possible. ”

Kailuo stood up and shook hands with Ye Kai, thinking that this meeting was over, he let go of his hand and was about to leave, but he didn't want Ye Kai to stretch out his hand and didn't take it back, but took advantage of the situation and said: "Kailuo, please take a seat, I still have some things to say to you alone, and then we will have a short meeting with people from several other departments." ”
