――――――――――――――――

He even admitted it?!

Faced with Chen Geng, who happily admitted that he had made money in the oil futures market, Ferdinand Piëch didn't know what to say for a while.

Looking at the future head of Wolfsburg Automobile with a stunned face, Chen Geng smiled slightly, and there was a taste of success in his prank: "Mr. Piëch, it seems that the Piëch family needs to prepare the 1% of the shares." ”

"Oh...... Oh oh...... "Faced with the reality that Runhua Industrial easily made $100 million or more in the futures market, Ferdinand Piëch was a little stunned.

Before this, he had always thought that Chen Geng's proposal to acquire 4.5% of the shares of Volkswagen was just Chen Geng's wishful thinking, even if Wolf Castle opened up this opening for him, Runhua Industrial would not be able to come up with so much foreign exchange in such a short period of time, and their entire country's foreign exchange reserves would have more points? But now it seems that the person who became the joke turned out to be himself.

Looking at Ferdinand Piëch, Chen Geng said with a smile: "Mr. Piëch, you don't plan to go back, do you?" As a reminder, we signed the agreement. ”

"Repentance? Oh, no, of course not," Piëch immediately shook his head, the Germans still have a bit of a contract spirit, not to mention that the Piëch family, the Porsche family and the state government of Lower Saxony only took out 1% of the shares each, and the voting rights of this part of the shares are still in their own hands, of course everyone will not be stupid enough to overturn the previous agreement for this share: "Wolfsburg is honored to have a new shareholder involved, which is a good thing for everyone - Chen, I take the liberty of asking, during this Gulf War, There is a fund in the futures market performance is very dazzling, they from the international futures market swept away more than 1 billion US dollars, I don't know if you know some news of this fund? ”

As he spoke, Piëch stared at Chen Geng without blinking.

"I know, we are also doing oil futures," Chen Geng nodded, speaking of this fund, there was a look of admiration and envy on his face: "I don't know where this guy came from, but I said, these guys are really powerful, and the timing of every attack is outrageous, as if the entire oil futures market is dancing with their baton...... To tell you the truth, Mr. Piëch, in the later period, we relied heavily on them in their modus operandi, otherwise we would not have made so much money. ”

This fund has nothing to do with Runhua Industrial? Chen Geng's answer made Piëch hesitate, the reason why he asked such a question was because he suspected that Runhua Industrial had something to do with this fund, but Chen Geng's words made him hesitate again.

Looking at Piëch, who was frowning and thinking, Chen Geng smiled: "Mr. Piëch, do you think that the fund that is calling for wind and rain in the futures market belongs to our Runhua Industrial?" ”

Well? Isn't it? Chen Geng's rhetorical question made Piëch stunned for a moment.

"If that fund is mine, do you know what that means?" Chen Geng asked rhetorically.

"What?"

"That means that I have extremely accurate intelligence sources within the coalition forces and in the White House, otherwise I wouldn't be able to buy and sell at every key point in time as accurately as a Swiss clock," Chen Geng asked with a smile: "Mr. Piëch, do you think that if I really had such a strong network and resources, I would only invest such a small amount of money?" ”

That's right!

Piëch reacted suddenly, and immediately felt that what he had just thought was really ridiculous: yes, if this fund were Runhua Industrial, only if he had a highly trusting relationship with the coalition forces and even the top of the White House could make such a precise operation - but is this possible? Of course not!

Others don't know, they don't know yet, Chen Geng is an active officer of the Republic, and he is a lieutenant colonel, how can he have such a good personal relationship with the top level of the White House in the United States?

And the first stock exchange for the Chinese: the Shanghai Stock Exchange has only been established for a few months? Chinese are just in the stage of exploration and exploration of stocks, the most common financial instruments and financial methods in the West, futures, a higher level of financial methods, do Chinese understand? I believe that China has a few talents in futures, but it would be a joke to say that they are playing futures better than the West, which has played futures with flowers.

Thinking of this, Piëch himself blushed at the thought he had just made: I didn't even think of such a simple truth? Was I blinded by lard just now?

Piëch himself felt a little ashamed, and he was a little flustered to make excuses for his absurd idea just now: "I'm sorry Chen, mainly because you were able to make so much money in the oil futures market this time, which is really unexpected." ”

Chen Geng shook his head: "The main thing is that the Americans fought well, and the tactics and combat effectiveness that the Americans showed in the Gulf War here have taken the whole world by surprise!" ”

"Who's to say it isn't?" Piëch nodded approvingly: the Americans have not only frightened the whole world, but even themselves have been taken by themselves!

Who would have thought that the power of this brand-new tactical method of warfare would be so great, and the puppets had been mentally prepared for tens of thousands of casualties, and as a result, 100 people died? Oh roar roar roar ...... Lao Tzu is really powerful!

As an ally of the Americans, Piëch had a sense of pride.

Both of them are very busy people, they are as busy as dogs every day, even if they sit together and greet each other, it is impossible to just say these things that do not have too much nutrition, not to mention that the reason why Wolfsburg Automobile asked Ferdinand Piëch to come over to complete the final signing was appointed by Chen Geng, whether it was the Wolfsburg Board of Directors, the Board of Supervisors or Ferdinand Piëch himself, they all knew that Chen Geng had something to say.

Chen Geng certainly had something to say, and after a chat to adjust the atmosphere, he finally explained the reason for letting Ferdinand Piëch sign: "Mr. Piëch, recently, I have been thinking about whether we can achieve the purpose of reducing production costs through the optimal allocation and sharing of certain resources with the relationship between Runhua Industry, Skoda and Wolfsburg?" ”

"Oh?"

Ferdinand Piëch's eyes lit up, for a professional manager and entrepreneur, there is nothing more interesting than the word "reduce costs", especially for Wolfsburg, a large multinational automobile manufacturing giant with annual sales of tens of billions of dollars, even if it can reduce the cost by 1%, it also means a net profit of hundreds of millions of dollars per year - hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, what can this money do? You can pay a lot more dividends to the leadership. He immediately asked, "Mr. Chen, what do you think?" As long as it can reduce costs, Wolfsburg is interested. ”

Chen Geng said: "That's right, according to the agreement we reached with the shareholders of Skoda Auto, after the completion of the acquisition of Skoda's shares, we will inject capital, new technology, new processes and even new design concepts into Skoda Auto to help Skoda improve the competitiveness of their products, right?" ”

"Of course." Ferdinand Piëch nodded, but he didn't understand why Chen Geng mentioned this, which was the prerequisite for Wolfsburg Automobile and Runhua Industrial to successfully acquire the shares of Skoda Automobile.

"Then the problem," Chen Geng spread his hands: "What Wolfsburg is ready to provide to Skoda must be Wolfsburg's technology, craftsmanship and even existing products, right?" ”

Ferdinand Piëch nodded again: "Of course." ”

"In other words, in the future, Skoda cars will share Wolfsburg's technology, patents and other resources to a considerable extent?"

"That's right."

"Very well, Runhua Industry is also a shareholder of Wolfsburg Automobile, since this is the case, then why don't we form a Wolfsburg-Skoda-Runhua Automobile Alliance?" Chen Geng's voice sounded a lot like the wolf grandmother who was kidnapping Little Red Riding Hood.

"Wolfsburg-Skoda-Runhua Automobile Alliance?" Ferdinand Piëch was shocked by Chen Geng's suggestion: three companies to form a car alliance? God, that's a crazy idea!

"Ferdinand, think about it," Chen Geng's voice sounded in the ears of Ferdinand Piëch, who was frightened by Chen Geng's words: "Wolfsburg Automobile has the best technology, craftsmanship and spare parts supply system that has been deeply cultivated in Europe for many years, while Runhua Industrial has the world's leading design concept, if we can join forces, what does it mean?" ”

"What?" Ferdinand Piëch, who was a little unable to find the north by Chen Geng, subconsciously asked rhetorically.

"It means a combination of strong and strong!"

Chen Geng said categorically: "Frankly speaking, with the craftsmanship and technical level of Wolfsburg, if there is a better shape, your car will sell more, Wolfsburg is accused by users, that is, the design of the product is not good enough, and the design has become a stumbling block to the development of Wolfsburg." ”

Of course, Ferdinand Piëch knew that what Chen Geng said was the truth, and the whole of Europe and even the world criticized the backward design concept of Wolfsburg, well, in addition to China, he also knew that design was the biggest shortcoming of Wolfsburg, just like Chen Geng said, if there is a good design, Wolfsburg cars will definitely be able to sell a lot more - at least 20% more on the current basis, no problem, if Wolfsburg can really get Chen Geng's design, it will be excellent, The PassatB4, which has already proven itself on the market, is the best example of this, but ......

"But that's not enough," Chen continued, "and my idea is that our alliance is not just a union of this degree, but a deeper alliance that starts at the platform level." ”

Ferdinand Piëch frowned and said vigilantly: "Platform-level alliance? How so? ”

Platform is not the product of the major automobile groups after the 21st century, in fact, as early as the 80s, the major automobile manufacturers have realized the benefits of the automotive technology platform, when it comes to the platform, we must first understand what the "platform" is this thing, the platform is a technical concept and production concept, rather than a specific physical object, the purpose of forming a certain model platform is to make the products developed based on this platform, between different models and even different sizes of cars, It can maximize the sharing of parts and components to reduce costs and improve production efficiency, simply put, to make enterprises more profitable under the premise of ensuring product quality.

Now Wolfsburg, there are already platforms PQ22, PQ23, PQ34 and PL44 platform, etc., the definition of PQ23 platform is "the third generation of small transverse front-wheel drive platform", the representative model under this platform is the generation of POLO before the four-eye round lights, PQ34 is the "fourth generation of compact transverse front-wheel drive platform", the representative model is the famous Golf, as for the PL44 platform, Chen Geng helped Wolfburg design the passatB4 is this "fourth-generation medium-sized longitudinal front-wheel drive platform" products.

Wolfsburg's current technology is not able to achieve the universality between parts and components across platforms, but even so, the platform technology has also shown its own strong market gold finishing, in recent years, Wolfsburg has conquered the city in the market, the scenery is unlimited, in addition to the proper marketing strategy, PQ23, PQ33, PQ34 and PLL44 These platforms are also very contribution.

It is precisely because of this that after hearing Chen Geng say that the two companies should be united at the platform level, Ferdinand Piecy will be so nervous, in fact, if the two companies are both shareholders of Skoda Automobile, and Runhua Industrial is also a shareholder of Wolfsburg, Piëch would not have talked about this issue with Chen Geng at all, but even so, he made up his mind in his heart: no matter what Chen Geng said, he would not hesitate to refuse him!

Platform strategy is the lifeblood of Wolf Castle, how can it be possible to cooperate with others?!

"Simple," Chen Geng snapped his fingers: "From now on, Runhua Industry and Wolfsburg will jointly develop a general platform, and the two companies will share the R&D costs of the platform to reduce the R&D costs of the platform. At the same time, the two sides can form a spare parts procurement committee, and our three companies will purchase spare parts together to reduce the procurement cost of spare parts with the advantage of scale. ”

Jointly develop platform technology, share costs, and strive for greater profit margins with larger procurement scale and spare parts suppliers...... What Chen Geng said made Ferdinand Piessi, who originally planned to refuse without hesitation no matter what Chen Geng said, was stunned, and looked at Chen Geng dumbfounded, he didn't know what to say, did he mean that his ambitions were huge, and he even dared to have this kind of idea, or was he whimsical and could even think of this idea of reducing costs?
