Chapter 70: Wolf Castle Ambition
"What kind of plane do you take with a car?" Without waiting for Chen Geng to say something, Zhang Xiangyang shouted urgently: "Lao Tzu is not taking a plane, Lao Tzu will drive a car back!" ”
Chen Geng turned his head to look at Jindeler and shrugged: "You saw it?" ”
Kindler shrugged his shoulders indifferently, saying that he didn't pay attention to it at all: he didn't care about two cars that his work team didn't use.
……………………
Although the housing situation in Modu is very tight, as one of the largest conglomerates in Modu, SAIC has its own guest house, and it is naturally not difficult to arrange a suite for Chen Geng and Zhang Xiangyang as an engineer of the Poussin project team sent by Kindler Wolfsburg.
After Chen Geng and Jindeler made an appointment for the next few days and sent him away, he returned to the room and saw that Zhang Xiangyang was walking on the bed, humming comfortably.
Seeing Chen Geng, Zhang Xiangyang raised his head and glanced at Chen Geng, even if he said hello: "Third child, you said that this demon capital people will enjoy it, and the beds in this guest house are covered with Simmons...... I also saved money when I went back, and when I got married, I seemed to have to sell Simmons for everything. ”
"Come on, don't worry about Simmons, find a girlfriend first, so you don't need to buy it, when you get married, I will give you a Simmons bed, which is a congratulatory gift for you."
Simmons's temptation was so strong, hearing this, Zhang Xiangyang got up from the bed with a grunt and asked excitedly, "Third child, are you serious?" ”
"Of course it's true, you're my brother, when you got married, wouldn't it be normal for me to give my brother a congratulatory gift to show my heart?"
"Then ......" Zhang Xiangyang blinked and asked cautiously, "Then can I borrow our car when I get married?" ”
Haizhou's economy is not developed, and in places like the magic capital, a few years ago, young people got married when they looked for a car; amp; Sea cars are a very face-saving thing, but with the reform and opening up, there are more and more good cars that enter the country through various ways. amp; The compulsion of the sea brand car is not so high, and now the compulsion is relatively high is the luxury imported car, such as the Toyota Crown, of course, if you pursue a higher compulsion, it can only be Mercedes-Benz.
But for Haizhou, when you get married, you can find 212 jeeps and amps; amp; Even before Chen Geng came back, when Zhang Xiangyang was lying in bed at night and secretly dreaming of his wedding, the biggest luxury was to be able to borrow a 212 jeep as a wedding car.
Listening to Zhang Xiangyang's careful extravagance, Chen Geng smiled: "One is on the sample; amp; Sea car you are satisfied? In this way, you will leave the wedding car alone when you get married, and leave it to me to arrange, and I will at least find you a big car to support the scene when the time comes. ”
Daben. A hint of longing immediately appeared on Zhang Xiangyang's face: "Third child, can you really find Daben?" ”
If you can use Daben as a wedding car, it will be too face-saving, but as far as Zhang Xiangyang knows, it seems that there is no Daben in the entire Haizhou area, and the most luxurious car in the entire Haizhou area is an imported Japanese crown.
"Don't worry." Chen Geng didn't say how powerful he was, and he would definitely be able to find something like Daben, but it was such a simple three words, Zhang Xiangyang, who was originally a little nervous and apprehensive in his heart, suddenly put his mind at ease.
Zhang Xiangyang looked at Chen Geng fixedly, suddenly jumped off the bed, opened his travel bag, and turned out a big notepad.
Chen Geng was taken aback by Zhang Xiangyang's nervous movements: "Second brother, what are you doing here?" ”
"Aren't we going to visit CHINT Tire Factory tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to talk about cooperation with them? I do more homework. ”
Chen Geng didn't say anything, just nodded.
Although the change of the second child seems to be a bit abrupt, it is not difficult to understand, seeing that Chen Geng and Poussin are so familiar, even the 2 cars can be "borrowed" if they are "borrowed", can it not be irritating to him?
………………………………
"Chen, the Chint Rubber Factory said that they welcome you to visit and contact the business at any time, when will you go?" Early the next morning, Jindeler rushed to the guest house and told Chen Geng the good news.
Chen Geng thought for a while, but said, "Can you take us to visit Volkswagen's various industries first?" ”
"Oh, and you want to visit the production of Poussin? This is a bit troublesome," Kindler was a little embarrassed: "You know the company's rules......"
Of course, Chen Geng knows how much Wolfsburg attaches importance to Poussin, how strict it is in management, and it is necessary to go through several procedures to approve the production process of Poussin, although Jindler is a German engineer, but he is not qualified to take people to the production line to visit casually, Chen Geng waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, I am not talking about Poussin's production line, I am talking about various industries under SAIC." ”
"Then there will be no problem," Kindler immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it was not Poussin's production line, it would not be a problem to take two people to any SAIC factory: "Which factory do you want to visit?" ”
After thinking for a while, Chen Geng said: "How about the SAIC Engine Factory?" ”
"SAIC Engine Plant?" Jindler looked at Chen Geng's gaze and immediately became a little weird.
"Questions?" Chen Geng asked rhetorically.
Kindler immediately laughed: "No problem, of course no problem. ”
It's just that he looked at Chen Geng's gaze quite meaningfully.
Chen Geng understood what Jindler's gaze meant, but Chen Geng didn't see it.
The three of them got into the car and went straight to the SAIC Engine Factory, and when they arrived at the gate of the SAIC Engine Factory, the doorman didn't even look at it, and the car slowed down slightly and entered the factory directly.
At this scene, Chen Geng's brows furrowed: When did the management here become so loose?
Last year, when Chen Geng was an intern in SAIC, he came to SAIC Engine Factory several times because of his work, and the access control management at that time was quite strict, in addition to several factory leaders and the cars of group leaders, even if it was a car that often came and went in the factory, the doorman would also check the personnel in the car through guò eyes, where it was like now, the doorman sat lazily in the doorman's room and dozed off, this is the ...... People's hearts are scattered?
It's really people's hearts scattered! The next moment, Chen Geng confirmed this.
Before cooperating with Wolfsburg, SAIC had more than 2,900 employees, but after the signing of the cooperation agreement between the two sides last year, at the insistence of Wolfsburg, SAIC Motor withdrew more than 1,600 employees to produce Poussin cars, and finally left 1,300 employees to maintain 12 SAIC Motor's chassis parts factory, SAIC engine factory, SAIC engine parts manufacturing plant (gearbox and bevel gear).
And with the ditto amp; amp; Although these subordinate units are still maintaining production, after seeing the group's emphasis on Poussin, all the major subordinate factories of SAIC are all fluctuating: since they already know what direction the group will focus on in the future, a fool is willing to continue to stay here.
Entering the factory, the situation inside also confirmed Chen Geng's guess, and last year when Chen Geng first came to the magic capital for internship, the lively scene has been completely incomparable, when I came last year, I can still hear the sound of various equipment in the workshop, but now, it is quiet, the biggest sound in the huge factory is the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, and the whole factory is almost silent.
Chen Geng asked Jindeler in a low voice: "Mr. Jindler, if, I mean, if, if I hire some people from some of SAIC's supporting enterprises to work in my company, will there be any trouble?" ”
Jindeler stepped on the brakes heavily, turned his head and looked at Chen Geng seriously: "Chen, are you serious?" ”
"I've never been so serious."
"Then I can sue you now, no problem, no problem at all." Speaking of this, Jindeler smiled slyly: "Chen, you should understand that for Wolfsburg, it is actually in the interests of Wolfsburg that you are doing this. ”
That's right! That's right!
Last year, Wolfsburg just signed a cooperation agreement with SAIC, and in a blink of an eye, it forcibly required SAIC to transfer skilled employees from its subordinate enterprises to serve the Poussin project, and the apparent statement is that the technical strength of SAIC Group is not small from the requirements of Wolfsburg, in order to ensure the quality of Poussin cars, it is necessary to transfer the most powerful technical force of SAIC, but is there any other idea of Wolfsburg?
Of course there is.
Wolfsburg's idea is actually very "simple": completely kill the R&D strength of SAIC, and let SAIC, the partner of Wolfsburg in China, become a production plant of Wolfsburg!
You know, before the mid-80s, SAIC had a complete automotive R&D team, which could be engaged in everything from engine, gearbox, suspension, chassis, steering system, ...... Waiting for the research and development of all subsystems of a car and the integration of the whole car, although limited to technical background, SAIC's vehicle research and development team is indeed not comparable with Wolfsburg, but it is definitely not as unbearable as Wolfsburg said, and in fact, there are not many companies in the world that can have a complete vehicle R & D team, not even Wolfsburg.
Why, because some of the gearboxes used in Wolfsburg's various models were jointly developed by Wolfsburg and ZF, and some were simply purchased directly from ZF.
If there is no Wolfsburg, SAIC actually has the opportunity to become the world's top automobile company in the true sense, but because of Wolfsburg, this hope has been completely shattered, and the last flash of SAIC's excellent team is to successfully help Wolfsburg develop a model that does not exist in the Wolfsburg model library, but shines in the Chinese market, and once became synonymous with China's mid-level business/commercial vehicles: Santana 2000.
