Chapter 527: Uninvited
Not only Petraeus was yelling, but everyone else in the conference room was looking at Hidalg with incredulous eyes, how can China, a poor country that can't even wear pants, generate 350 million francs a year for Peugeot cars? Are you kidding?!
Peugeot and Citroen belong to the same company: the French PSA Peugeot Citroen Group, theoretically the two companies are a father, but in fact Peugeot and Citroen are two independent settlement enterprises, the two companies do not reflect the "brotherhood" in the daily production, operation and sales, but the competition and mutual beware of the fierce, such as Citroen If you want to know some internal operating data of Peugeot Automobile, you can only go through the PSA Group headquarters, Counting on Peugeot to take the initiative to communicate these data? That's absolutely impossible. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Is this news accurate?" Sebastian Bidrasanta immediately asked.
"Because this is the data that Peugeot just released this morning," Hidalg said unhurriedly in the face of everyone's skeptical eyes: "Although I don't know why Peugeot Cars did this, I specially learned about the situation before coming to the meeting, and as of the meeting, Peugeot's stock price has risen by 20 centals,"
After a pause, Hidalg added: "You can check with the headquarters for a few days. ”
1 franc is equal to 100 centimetres, 20 centimetres, which means that from the opening of the market this morning to almost half an hour ago, the share price of Peugeot Motors rose by 0.2 francs, although this is not a high increase, but this is the highest single-day increase in the last two years for the three major French automobile manufacturers.
The huge conference room was silent, and everyone had a look of disbelief on their faces: if this is true, it means that even if Peugeot cannot achieve breakeven this year, it has also significantly reduced its losses, and the day when it will break even is really not far away, maybe a year, maybe two years? In short, the future is bright.
Where can Sebastián Vidrasanta hold back? He immediately picked up the phone: "Help me check the current stock price of Peugeot Motors, the focus is on the extent of today's stock price increase." ”
After a while, Sebastien Vidrasanta's face was quite shocked, and he put down the earpiece and slowly said to everyone: "The latest news, since the opening of today's market, Peugeot's share price has risen by 0.27 francs. ”
Rumble!
The huge conference room exploded in an instant, and everyone's eyes of disbelief converged on Hidalg: what he said turned out to be true?!
This is certainly true!
Although everyone is still in disbelief, they all understand that the stock market is a barometer of the market and investors' confidence in a company, although it is not clear what Peugeot's net profit in the Chinese market is, but the market and investors are so optimistic about the financial report released by Peugeot is enough to say everything.
Sebastien was more excited than the rest of the room, and Hidalge was right, and since the Chinese could bring back the Peugeot, which was not much better off than Citroën, it would certainly help them salvage. After a short moment of astonishment, Sebastien Vidrasanta slapped the table hard: "Contact the group headquarters immediately, let them send me the details of Peugeot's business in China, and give me information and data on China's automobile industry and China's automobile consumption!"
All!
Fast! Let's do it! ”
The not-so-successful brainstorming that was being held immediately became a chicken-and-dog jump!
Everyone is more busy than ever, and if they can't show their worth standing in this room, Mr. Sebastián Vidrasanta really needs to think carefully about whether he will continue to have fun with him in the future.
"Boss, there's a ......," Hidalg whispered as he leaned over to Sebastian Vidrasanta, "I think maybe you should focus on it." ”
"Oh? You said. ”
"The year before last, that is, in 1987, China's Second Automobile Industry Group negotiated cooperation with 14 automobile manufacturers in the world, and wanted to introduce technology, including our ......."
"How did I not know there was this?" Sebastian Bidrasanta's jaw dropped in surprise: "Why has no one ever talked to me?" ”
"At that time, they also contacted us, but Mr. Fran thought that the Chinese market was not worthy of our attention, and the weak Chinese market was not worth entering with two French car companies, and that Peugeot alone was enough, so he put this matter down......
Before Hidalg could finish speaking, Sebastian Bidrasanta's face turned blue!
He didn't expect that Citroen Motors had already been connected with Chinese auto companies as early as the year before last, and he didn't expect his predecessor to be a bastard to such an extent, which is simply unforgivable!
"Boss, there's news about China's auto industry." Petraeus suddenly raised his arms and shouted.
"What's the news?" Sebastian Vidrasanta was overjoyed and hurriedly asked.
"Audi Automobiles, a subsidiary of the German Wolfsburg Group, is now competing with Chrysler Motors of the United States for the opportunity to cooperate with China's largest automobile manufacturing conglomerate: FAW Industry Group to produce mid-to-high-end cars," Petraeus's voice was very excited, and he could even clearly hear the tremor in his voice: "The model that Chrysler Automobile is preparing to cooperate with China's First Automobile is the Dodge 600, and the Audi Automobile is preparing to cooperate with the Chinese is the Audi 100." ”
Sebastian Vidrasanta's body couldn't help but be shocked: whether it is a Dodge 600 or an Audi 100, they are recognized as mid-to-high-end executive sedans, Chrysler and Audi actually fought for such a cooperation, is the Chinese market so attractive?
"Boss, I also have the latest news here," as soon as Petraeus's words fell, someone immediately raised his hand and said loudly: "Wolfsburg Group cooperated with China's Modu Automobile Industry Group as early as the early 80s, and this is the second cooperation between Wolfsburg Group and China after the last cooperation. ”
"This shows that the Germans are very optimistic about the Chinese market." Sebastian Vidrasanta said slowly.
Everyone nodded, how could the Germans enter the Chinese market for the second time if they hadn't made a lot of money in the Chinese market, and they would have competed with Chrysler without regard for decency?
Maybe Citroen wants to get out of the predicament, and the hope is really on the Chinese?
Thinking of this, Sebastien Bidrasanta, on the one hand, was annoyed that he had known too little about the automobile industry, especially the automobile industry in the Far East, and knew so little about these key information, and on the other hand, he hated his predecessor: the inaction of Fran, the CEO of Citroen Motors, and the Chinese had already found our door in 1987, which has passed more than a year, and I only know the news now!
"Boss, I found out the news," Fenesh also raised his hand: "In 1985, Peugeot cooperated with China's Yangcheng Automobile Group, and the goal of the cooperation between the two sides was to build a medium-sized automobile production group with an annual output of 10,000 cars, Peugeot took out the five 04 and 505 models, and held 22.6% of the shares in the new company, but the full set of parts were provided by Peugeot Cars. ”
"504 and 505?" Sebastien Vidrasanta couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "How are these two cars selling in China?" ”
Peugeot 504 is Peugeot cars have been discontinued two models, Peugeot 505 has also come to the end of its life cycle, according to the plan, a few more years will be delisted, the latest Peugeot 506 will replace Peugeot 505, he is curious, such two backward cars can achieve what kind of sales results in China?
"The sales situation is not bad, last year, Yangcheng Peugeot's annual production capacity was 5,000 vehicles, and there was no inventory." Seeing this data, Fenesh was also excited.
Sebastian Bidrasanta couldn't believe it, and hurriedly confirmed: "Are you sure that all 5,000 cars have been sold?" ”
5,000 isn't a lot, but it would be surprising if there wasn't a single one in stock.
"Yes, 5,000 units, not a single one in stock, all sold," Fenesh was also trembling excitedly: "And there is one of the most exciting, I think you must want to hear: the price at which the Peugeot bastards sold CKD parts to the Chinese is nearly twice their price in China!" ”
As soon as Fenesh's voice fell, there was immediately a wave of envy, jealousy and hatred in the conference room:
"****~"
"These bastards who have lost their **** luck!"
…………
The shouting and scolding were endless, and some people even shouted: "We should go to China~!" We have to go to China~~"
Despite the same excitement in Sebastián Vidrasanta's heart, as a professional manager, his professional ethics and instinct still controlled him, and he said loudly: "Gentlemen, now is not the time to be excited, although it seems that China is very good now, but we still need to know more, for example, how many car manufacturers in China, such as how strong are Chinese car manufacturers......"
"Boss, the latest news," Sebastián Vidrasanta could finish his words, and someone immediately raised his hand: "The list of major Chinese automobile manufacturers is here." ”
"Speak quickly!" Sebastian Vidrasanta was overjoyed and hurriedly said.
"Okay, in order of scale, they are FAW, Second Automobile, SAIC, BAIC, Changan, Changhe, GAC, and there is another one, huh?" Seeing this name, Petraeus spoke with a strong taste of surprise in his words: "Runhua Automobile Industry? ”
"Runhua?" Sebastien Vidrasanta's mind came up with the name of a motorcycle he had seen before, and he couldn't help but ask, "Is that the Runhua that made the Blackstar 750 side three-wheeled motorcycle?" ”
"That's right, it's that Runhua," Petraeus's expression was strange, as if he wanted to cry, but also as if he wanted to laugh: "It's the company that made a name for itself in Europe by producing imitation BMW wr71 motorcycles, and it's the company that became famous at last year's Frankfurt International Motor Show......"
Although he did not follow the boss into Citroen at the Frankfurt International Motor Show last year, the PSA Peugeot Citroen Group at that time had begun to secretly contact Sebastian Vidrasanta, who was engaged in the machinery industry, and of course paid some attention to the most famous carnival in the automobile industry at that time: the Frankfurt International Motor Show, and was naturally impressed by the new car called Alfa that was evaluated as "the most creative at this Frankfurt International Motor Show", but he did not expect it, Which car can be associated with the company that imitates the BMW wr71 side three-wheeled motorcycle.
Sebastian Vidrasanta couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, he had naturally heard the name of this Chinese automobile company, but after being stunned for a while, he laughed: "Gentlemen, this is obviously the Son of God who has favored us, so that we have two choices at the same time, I have to say, this is really a happy trouble, everyone says it's not it?" ”
"That's right!"
The others also laughed, Sebastien Vidrasanta was right, Citroen had two partners to choose from, this is really God favoring Citroen cars in distress - the French are so arrogant and self-righteous, they have never thought about whether Runhua Industrial is willing to cooperate with them, in the heads of the French, their thoughts have always been "I cooperate with you because I look up to you, how can you have such a rebellious idea of not cooperating with us?" ”
"Very well, gentlemen," Sebastien Vidrasanta clapped his hands, much calmer than when he first walked into the room, "now everyone knows what to do, right?" Go! Gather all the information about China's automotive market and China's automobile manufacturing industry; In addition, they told the group headquarters that if they want to see Citroen Motors break even in 3 years and see the stock price rise within 6 months, they will send us all the information they have about the Chinese market! ”
Citroën is having a hard time, but now Sebastien Vidrasanta is confident in his future at Citroën: why can't even the idiots of Peugeot make a lot of money in China and sell a bunch of rags that should be swept into the garbage for a high price?
Therefore, when Chen Geng received the official letter forwarded by the French Citroen Automobile through Yangcheng Peugeot, the whole person was confused: Citroen Automobile wanted to visit Runhua Industry? Nima: What's going on? I didn't invite you, why didn't you come uninvited?
