Chapter 289: The Man Who Worked Miracles

The purpose of Wendkorn's trip to China was achieved, and he got what he wanted, so this trip was very happy for him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When Xu Linyuan went to see him off, Wen Deen chatted with him a lot, and the conversation was very funny and humorous.
However, what puzzled Xu Linyuan was that Wendeen did not go to the airport immediately, as if he was waiting for something?
It wasn't until he received a phone call that Winterkorn mentioned to Xu Linyuan about the China trip of General Motors CEO Exxon, and he was no longer as funny as before.
He knew that his trip to China must have stimulated General Motors, and they originally wanted to reach a number of technical cooperation with the Future Group.
This time, Cummins launched the DHX-T engine, which brought impact and influence to the chain link engine, because of the influence of Cummins, they have won several car companies that have the strength to compete with them to reach a strategic alliance, ready to compete with the chain link engine market.
At this stage, the future of the chain link engine and the market judgment depends on the strategic vision of the company's senior executives, Cummins has a long history, technology and services, and the market is very mature, which is the main factor for many companies to be willing to reach strategic cooperation with them.
After all, this future group has been established for too short a time, and its influence is far less than that of Cummins, an established company, so if a number of automobile companies join forces to fight against this company, they are not opponents at all.
But in Wendkorn's view, this enterprise is vibrant, energetic, and brave in innovation and breakthroughs, although the foundation is still shallow. But after a period of development, Wendeen believes that this company will have the strength to compete with those old engine companies, so their current disadvantage is only temporary.
It is precisely because the future group is in such a disadvantaged state that Wendeen wants to take this opportunity to come decisively and take the initiative to cooperate with this young company that he is more optimistic about, in order to get more opportunities.
It's just that he didn't expect it. In addition to his optimism about the company's engine and technology, there are also future prospects, and he can't imagine that several other well-known automobile companies are still optimistic about this young company when DHX-T is currently hot, and several automobile companies have sent cooperation plans to the future group at the same time.
So. Many companies sought to work with them, and Winterkorn knew that the public would have fewer opportunities, and in Winterkorn's mind, he also had his own long-term plan, and since he heard Syndra relay to him about the young man's cake theory, Winterkorn was very sympathetic to this cake-sharing strategy.
This time, BMW, GM, and Fiat also threw an olive branch to the Future Group, but they sought cooperation in projects with their own technological advantages. In addition, China's domestic Tianzheng Automobile has always had in-depth cooperation with this company, so that in the future, the pattern of the world's automobile industry, if the chain link engine becomes the mainstream, will form a cooperative alliance formed by these six companies, and another strategic cooperation with Cummins, Ford, Nissan and other automobile companies has formed a smart confrontation.
At that time, the competition between these two different fronts in the automotive industry will be even more intense. Is it the prospect of the chain link engine and the fact that it can become the pilot of the development of the world automobile industry in the future, or will the DHX-T engine completely replace the chain link engine after it continues to mature and improve in the future?
The final result of such a dragon battle is that the losing side will be eliminated and swallowed up by the opponent. But it's also an opportunity to continue to grow themselves, and as the young man said, when the chainlinks are completely on the trajectory of Future Power, if they are the winning side, then it's a huge cake. In the end, it will only be divided by these six automobile companies, and the losing side will only have the fate of being annexed......
In today's world, no matter what industry you are in, everyone wants to be the leader of their industry, and everyone wants to be the hegemon in this industry, just like Microsoft, he is the leader of the software industry, just like Volvo is a giant in the retail industry, like Intel, he is the leader of the chip industry......
And Volkswagen, naturally, also wants to be a leader in the automotive industry.
So Winterkorn can be said to have made a huge bet on the fate of the masses this time, and if they succeed, then they will be able to realize their dreams that have not been realized for generations, and if they fail, they will have to return to the original point and start from scratch, or completely collapse and decline.
……
Xu Linyuan was supposed to see off Wendeen, but when he talked to Wendeen, the two seemed to have forgotten the passage of time.
It wasn't until about 10 a.m., when Winterkorn's assistant came to tell him about Ackerson's visit, that the two ended their conversation and went together to meet Ackerson.
To say that peers are enemies, and the competition between Volkswagen and GM was fierce before, but this time Wendeen was unusual, and he wanted to meet Exxon in person, which somewhat surprised Xu Linyuan.
This time, Exxon came to bring a relatively large lineup, all of which were GM executives and some backbones, as well as expert technical teams.
After Xu Linyuan met Exxon in the Economic and Trade Building, he was also a little surprised, this American doesn't look very tall, but if you look closely, it is the same as a famous American movie star Bruce. Willis is somewhat alike.
After meeting Xu Linyuan, Ackerson shook hands cordially, introduced some important representatives who came with him, and after a few words of laughter with Xu Linyuan, he also shook hands with Wendeen cordially, and the two chatted very speculatively, and they didn't look like competitors.
Tang Ying was responsible for accompanying the whole process, he had dealt with Xu Linyuan several times, and he was originally a Chinese-American, and when he spoke to Xu Linyuan, he always used Chinese, giving Xu Linyuan full respect.
After talking with Tang Ying, Xu Linyuan learned that in the current U.S. auto market, General Motors' sales of cars using chainlink engines are very good, and they have advantages in some technologies, so they have also achieved good results in Europe.
It's just that Tang Yu mentioned that the chain link engine they use is not optimized by design, and the fit between their assembly design and the on-board matching devices is not very high, and it cannot perfectly exert the strong power of the chain link engine.
Therefore, Tang Ying hopes that if further cooperation can be reached this time, the group hopes that in the future, the group can optimize the design of their chainlink engine series cars.
Tang Ying knows that Future Group has cooperated with Volkswagen on leading technologies such as circulation transmission and matrix lock, and Volkswagen has been the first to obtain a licensing agreement.
Therefore, they also hope to reach a cooperation with Future Group in chain supercharging and cycle stroke technology to further reflect their product advantages.
Xu Linyuan naturally understood when he heard Tang Ying's intentions.
To put it bluntly, in the nine technologies of the chain link engine, although the focus of each cooperation is different, but they are still here for one purpose, that is, to obtain a licensing agreement, they can independently develop and design, although they are not as good as Xu Linyuan in technology, but they are also the second officially licensed and authorized enterprise that can design, develop and produce the chain link engine.
Even if the group will no longer produce and assemble chain link engines in the future, but others will produce and assemble them, just by providing accessories and materials for the core technology products, it is enough for them to make a lot of money.
The core technology is in the palm of his hand, and it is difficult to make money or not, Wendner is the first to send him money, Exxon is the second, will the next one be far away?
At present, Volkswagen has made a start, and General Motors is just copying it.
So on the same day, Xu Linyuan had a cordial and friendly conversation with Exxon and Winterkorn for a while, and after they sent Winterkorn away, the cooperation project between Future Group and General Motors was put on the agenda.
……
Three days later, when the news came out that the Future Group had reached a cooperation with General Motors of the United States again after the Volkswagen Group, it not only caused a sensation in China, but then the news spread rapidly to the world like wings.
When the industry, or people who care about it, hear the news, everyone's reaction is different.
People are still shocked that such an enterprise founded in just two years can achieve such amazing achievements.
Not to mention that the chainlink engine they launched has been widely circulated in the world and has gradually become popular, and now most countries in the world do not know that this chainlink engine comes from China.
And this company from China has also been highly concerned by the world's major automobile producing countries recently, and the most industry news they have heard recently is about this future group.
And this time, after the news of the cooperation between the future group and Volkswagen and General Motors at the same time came out, many people were shocked and felt a little unbelievable, Volkswagen and GM are competitors, and they would cooperate with such a company at the same time.
It can be said that this incident is also another major event this year after the chain link engine in Europe and the United States heats up, many experts and scholars are studying this strange phenomenon, and call one of the phenomena "Snarr circulation effect", driven by this effect, in the next few years, the entire world automobile industry will undergo a earth-shaking change, forming a major historical change.
Subsequently, in the current issue of Time Magazine in the United States, Xu Linyuan's sunny smile also appeared on the cover of this world-renowned authoritative weekly magazine for the first time.
In addition to his image on the cover of Time magazine, there is also a line below the magazine: A Chinese man who created the myth and miracle of the era of machine power revolution!!
