With the example of Chengfa in front, where can your hair office endure it?
Chengfa can give people, is there a shortage of people in our expensive hair office? They are all engaged in aero engines, how much worse is everyone who than who, why do you eat braised pork every day in Chengfa Institute, and Lao Tzu has to be forced to gnaw on the nest every day?
What I didn't say,!
Wang Yongming returned to the technology center, just started the matter that Runhua Industry wanted to cooperate with 649, and before he finished talking about it, a group of technicians who had lived a hard time suddenly played wolf howl!
Wang Yongming can understand everyone's mood very well, because his mood is the same as everyone's, wiping his red eyes, Wang Yongming grinned: Nima, a great thing, I have been looking forward to it for so long, and I finally don't have to live a bitter life......
……………………
When Guifa began to think about who to send and in what way the superior would not beak to cooperate with Runhua Industry, the Germans in Tokyo were like lightning strikes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"What do you say? Toyota is ready to buy that design from the Chinese? Bruno Sacco's face was ugly, and he asked Schmidt in shock: "Is the news credible?" ”
"It should be believable," Schmidt's expression was no better than that of Bruno Sacco, as if he had witnessed his wife put a green hat on him.
Bruno Sacco sat back in despair, tugging at his hair in pain: "Why is this happening? Why is this happening? ”
For the Chinese car will have an impact on Mercedes-Benz, Bruno Sacco is actually not very worried, he specially understood the situation of the Runhua industry, the annual production capacity is only about 20,000 vehicles, it can be said that it is a complete regional company, their products have almost no international popularity, not to mention when the concept car they named "No. 1 car" can be introduced to the market, even if they can be launched to the market immediately, while maintaining the same level as Mercedes-Benz S― The same level of equipment and technology in the Class - not to mention that this is simply not possible - does not pose a threat to Mercedes.
But Toyota is different, Toyota is a global large automobile manufacturing industry group, with an annual production capacity of millions of cars, and its products are widely known all over the world, even in Mercedes-Benz's hometown: Germany also has a certain market share, once they rushed ahead of Mercedes-Benz to launch this luxury sedan with the exterior and interior design of Runhua Industry, it would be hellish to say that it would not have an impact on the S-Class.
Toyota's Lexus sells one more, which means that the Mercedes-Benz S-Class sells one less, and the reverse is two cars, which is very simple......
"So you mean to buy that car from the Chinese, right?" Looking up at Schmidt, Bruno Sacco gritted his teeth.
Personally, he couldn't accept the result, but Bruno Sacco knew better that it seemed to be the best result, the best shortcut.
Schmidt's face was a little embarrassed, and he didn't answer the question directly, but slightly evaded: "Well, what I want to ask is, Bruno, do you have an idea of the new S-Class look?" How long do you think it will take for our new S-Class to be officially launched on the market? ”
"Uh...... I'm combing ......" Bruno Sacco, who was still a little aggressive just now, was stunned for a moment, and then turned into embarrassment, and squeaked and avoided: "But...... 2 years, 2 years is enough......"
Several days have passed, and there is not even a basic idea, as the design director of Mercedes, the chief designer, and the chief designer of the new generation of S-Class, Bruno Sacco is indeed quite ashamed.
Understood, then Bruno still has a clear idea...... Don't have a clear idea?! Schmidt "chuckled" in his heart: No, as the designer of two generations of S-Class, how could Bruno not have a clear idea? Unless it's ......
"Bruno, please tell me clearly, are you sure that you can surpass the design of the Chinese in design?" Schmidt, whose heart was beating wildly, couldn't take care of the emotions of the company's chief designer and design director, and bluntly asked Bruno Sacco that as the vice president of Mercedes, he must be responsible for the company's shareholders.
"......" Bruno Sacco's face turned slightly pale.
No need to ask, seeing Bruno Sacco's reaction, Schmidt sighed in his heart: It seems that Bruno's confidence is not very strong.
Of course, Schmidt believed that if Bruno Saco was given enough time, he would be able to design an S-Class that was good enough to surpass the Chinese, but for Mercedes, the most important thing now was time: how long did it take to design this generation of S-Class? The concept design alone took two years and four months!
Even if the new design is based on the previous design, the S-Class, which was originally scheduled to be launched in March next year, has already been prepared to postpone it for a year and a half to two years, and now it seems that two years is simply not enough!
The delay of the promised release date by two years will already have a very bad impact on the reputation of Mercedes-Benz, if Toyota gets the Chinese design again......
Schmidt looked at Bruno Sacco with a wry smile and said, "There's nothing worse than that, right?" ”
"......" his lips twitched twice, Bruno Sacco seemed to want to say something, but after all, he didn't say anything, and finally sighed: "Yes......"
"So, if ...... I mean, if, if you were to optimize the design that you Chinese, what would you think...... Bruno, don't do this, I know it makes you feel that your dignity is unbearable, but I have to be accountable to the shareholders, and you have to be accountable to the shareholders, unless you can come up with a design with overwhelming strength in a short period of time, otherwise even if I support you, the shareholders will definitely put pressure on you, I don't understand what I mean, right? ”
“…… Yes, we understand. Bruno Sacco leaned back in his chair, his face a little gray, of course he knew that what Schmidt said was true, the reason why the shareholders let themselves sit in the company's design director, chief designer, and S-class chief designer was because they believed that they could make them money, a lot of money, and if their actions not only did not make them money, but would affect their money, they would definitely kick themselves away without hesitation - the world of capital is so cruel.
Schmidt breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "OK, it's good that you understand, so we must not let the Japanese buy the Chinese's design, this should be the consensus of all of us, right?" ”
"That's right." Bruno Saco replied weakly.
"Okay, then now, there are two ways in front of us, one is to buy that design, we lock it in the data room and don't touch it, you slowly do your design; Second, we buy that design, and then you make achievements on the basis of that design as soon as possible, and promote our S-Class to be launched as soon as possible," looking at Bruno Sacco, Schmidt said seriously: "Bruno, you know, I have always supported you, I will try my best to persuade the board to implement the first plan, but if the board insists on the second plan, I hope you will not embarrass me." ”
Two solutions, but no matter which of these two methods, first of all, it is necessary to buy this from the hands of the Chinese, this is the main premise, everyone has lived under the influence of capitalism for more than 50 years, Schmidt understands this, and Bruno Sako also understands.
"I won't embarrass you," Bruno Sacco finally raised his head and squeezed out a smile after a long time: "Schmidt, thank you for always helping me." ”
"We're friends," Schmidt smiled, "yes." ”
"yes, we're friends."
"Bruno, can I ask a question." Schmidt asked suddenly.
"You say."
"That little guy, what do you think of his level?"
Bruno Sako knew which little guy Schmidt's "little guy" was, lowered his head and groaned, and he said to Schmidt very seriously: "Very powerful." ”
"Amazing?"
"It's very powerful, if you remove the emotional factor and simply rank by strength, I think he can be ranked in the top five in the world."
"So powerful?" Schmidt was frightened, he knew that the little guy was very powerful, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful.
"No, no, no, I haven't finished talking yet, I mean that if you don't consider popularity and emotional factors, this little guy's ability should be on par with the previous ones, and I can't say who is more powerful than whom."
“……”
Schmidt was really scared, of course he knew that Chen Geng was very powerful, but he was so powerful? Bruno Sacco thinks so highly of him?
"You're not trying to dig him up, are you?" Looking at Schmidt, Bruno Sacco smiled: "You forgot? That guy is the chairman and shareholder of Runhua Industrial, what price do you think Mercedes needs to pay to let such a powerful young man work? ”
Hearing Bruno Sacco's words, Schmidt smiled bitterly: Yes, with the level of that kid and the wealth he has, he is really not sure that he can convince Chen Geng to come to Mercedes, he is not sure at all, forget it, this kind of thing will give shareholders a headache.
Standing up, Schmidt patted Bruno Sacco on the shoulder: "In that case, old friend, then I'll get ready." ”
After saying that, he hurried out: Toyota's ambitions in the luxury car market are not small, and who knows how much they are willing to pay? (To be continued.) )
