Chapter 833: Achievements and Hidden Concerns
Karl Hahn was moved, and there was no way not to. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
To tell the truth, the huge Wolfsburg Group, from top to bottom, is an envy and jealousy for Runhua Industry's luxury mid-to-high-end executive sedan A6L! Wolfsburg's Audi 100 is also a standard mid-to-high-end executive sedan, but compared with the A6L of Runhua Industry, it is like a hairy old hen and a phoenix who is better looking, there is no comparison at all.
As for the renderings of the exterior and interior of the A0-class hatchback car that Runhua Industrial took out in order to show its sincerity in cooperation, if it weren't for the fact that Chen Geng would definitely have the corresponding post-production means, they would definitely have to snatch this design - just with this beautiful shape, replace the logo of Runhua Industry with the logo of Wolfsburg, a proper new generation of Polo, and then modify this appearance slightly, and the new generation of golf is also appropriate.
It's just that before it was recognized by Runhua Industry, these can only be thought about, but now, no problem, as long as you nod your head, the design language and styling of Wolfsburg's A0-class, A-class, B-class, and C-class cars are all there, and the cost that Wolfsburg needs to pay for all this is almost equal to zero!
But Carl Hahn is the "head wolf" of Wolfsburg after all, and he must be responsible for Wolfsburg: "Chen, thank you very much for your generosity, but there is no free lunch in the world, this can't be really free, right?" β
The implication is that since it's free, where do you plan to make up for it?
"Of course, as an entrepreneur, I don't have the reason to just pay but not return," Chen Geng nodded, admitting that he had other plans: "But I don't want much, first of all, if we reach a cooperation, Runhua Industry has the final say in the development and design of the three platforms of A0, A, B and C." β
"Yes." Carl Hahn nodded happily, since these platforms are all taken out by Runhua Industry, or even simply the existing products of Runhua Industry, of course, Runhua Industry has the final say, there is nothing wrong with this.
Chen Geng breathed a sigh of relief, this request that seemed to be no problem was actually what he was most worried about, why? Because of the inertia of thinking: the last time you had the final say, the next time you develop the platform, will you be accustomed to following orders?
As long as the designers and engineers of Wolfsburg develop this kind of thinking inertia, it is equivalent to stabilizing the position of Runhua Industry in this alliance, or to put it simply, Runhua Industry has influence on Wolfsburg - influence on Wolfsburg, which is what Chen Geng wants.
Fortunately, Chen Geng has simulated the current situation countless times, although he was extremely excited, he did not show any inappropriateness, nodded and said: "Very good, the second requirement, I want to form a talent exchange mechanism between Wolf Castle and Runhua Industry," After speaking, Chen Geng said a little embarrassedly: "Or to put it more bluntly, I need Wolf Castle to send certain experts in design, engineering, technology, enterprise management and marketing to Runhua Industry every year to help Runhua Industry improve its soft power." β
Hearing Chen Geng's request, Carl Hahn secretly breathed a sigh of relief: It seems that this guy really intends to cooperate with Wolfsburg.
Frankly speaking, Carl Hahn, and even every Wolfsburg executive present can understand why Chen Geng would make such a request, don't look at Runhua Industry has come up with such a few platforms, but everyone understands that these platforms have little to do with Runhua Industry, and even have little to do with China, this is purely the embodiment of Chen Geng's personal ability. Marketing management and other aspects are almost all-round behind Wolfsburg, even if Wolfsburg has provided some talent support to Runhua Industry in two small batches.
This is the Wolfsburg decades of development, decades of market grinding accumulated by the accumulation, not Runhua Industry in Chen Geng's rapid fattening guy can compare, Wolfsburg is like a perennial insistence on exercise, life and rest rules are in the early thirties of professional football players, whether it is personal physical fitness or state, experience is at the peak of the moment, Runhua Industry is like a just grown up, received a short period of semi-professional football training, However, neither personal skill nor physical fitness can be compared with the experienced professional footballer mentioned above, who is at the peak of his physical condition, consciousness and experience.
What Chen Geng has to do now is to ask this professional football veteran to transfer his skills, training methods on weekdays, ways and means of self-protection on the fierce football field, some tips for dealing with problems, and even how to deal with the relationship with his teammates...... And so on and so forth.
Are Chen Geng's conditions excessive? It's excessive, but compared to Runhua Industrial, or simply Chen Geng's things, Wolf Castle actually earned it.
Although he had already agreed in his heart, Carl Hahn felt as if he could fight for a little more benefit, and deliberately hesitated: "Chen, you are asking too much......
"But compared to what Wolfsburg gets, I don't want much, do I?" Chen Geng said with a smile: "We all understand that in general, it is actually Wolf Castle that is cheaper. β
"Okay," he said with a deliberate mutter, exchanging glances with the crowd, and Carl Hahn finally nodded, "Then it's decided...... Are there any other conditions? β
As for Skoda's opinion...... Runhua Industry and Wolfsburg combined, holding a total of 70% of Skoda shares, are absolute holdings, do you still need to ask for their opinions?
"Yes," Chen Geng nodded: "The last one, about our spare parts supporting enterprises, I hope to clarify one principle: the spare parts that our core enterprises can produce, in the quality of our needs and the price difference is less than 5%, we must give priority to purchasing our own; In addition, I know that Wolfsburg's spare parts suppliers are mainly concentrated in Europe, but I hope that on the premise of meeting Wolfsburg's requirements, we can appropriately allocate some procurement amount to our existing spare parts suppliers. β
After a pause, Chen Geng added: "Of course, I believe that there are old relationships that need to be taken care of here in Wolf Castle, and we can have an exchange at this point." β
Carl Hahn didn't answer immediately, he was thinking about whether Chen Geng's request was good or bad for Wolfsburg, Runhua Industrial not only had a good relationship with the auto parts companies in their country, but also could supply a considerable proportion of spare parts by itself, which Karl Hahn knew.
In fact, not only Runhua Industry, Wolfsburg Automobile itself can also produce some spare parts, these spare parts that they can produce, of course, are given priority to give orders to themselves, this is not only Runhua Industry and Wolfsburg will do this, any OEM will do this, as long as it is the OEM itself can produce, whether it is the engine, gearbox such core spare parts or other gadgets, basically will not be purchased, even if the price of their own production is higher than the market price.
Of course, with the specialization of the division of labor is becoming more and more detailed, in addition to the core accessories of the engine and gearbox, the main engine factory will generally not engage in too much spare parts production business, but this does not prevent the main engine factory from investing in the supporting factories, such as the Quandt family, the majority shareholder of the giant BMW, is also the largest shareholder of the independent transmission supplier ZF (ZF), there is such a relationship, it is not surprising why ZF will become BMW's "queen" gearbox, and why the same model of gearbox, What is installed on BMW is easy to use on other brands.
Chen Geng intends to take this opportunity to protect the interests of their original supporting factories, but then again, Chen Geng is right, Wolfsburg Automobile does need to make an exchange with Chen Geng on this point. Carl Hahn, who had made up his mind, nodded happily: "OK, then it's decided, let's talk about procurement......
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The moment he closed the car door, Chen Geng's whole person collapsed into the soft sofa in the back seat, and his whole person was physically and mentally exhausted, as if he had been hollowed out.
This is not an exaggeration, although this is just a "symposium" with a general framework of communication and cooperation, but the swords, swords, shadows and hidden arrows in it are no less than a formal negotiation, such a two- or three-hour confrontation, even Chen Geng, he feels a little mentally unable to hold on.
"It's still not talented...... Chen Geng sighed with his eyes closed.
Although the development of Runhua Industry has been fast enough, but it is precisely because of the rapid development that talents in all aspects can not keep up, especially this kind of talents who are familiar with international business relations and law and are good at international negotiations, it is not that Runhua Industry is reluctant to spend money, but this kind of talent is also extremely scarce in China, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce have widened their eyes, and the whole country has been pulling non-stop, and they can not find a few suitable talents, and the core departments of the country are so short of this kind of talents. You said that Runhua Industry didn't let Chen Geng go up, what else could I do?
But this is certainly not a long-term plan, you can go up once, go up 10 times, but after all, you are the chairman, is responsible for the company's development and long-term planning, not responsible for negotiations, continue like this, not only involve too much energy yourself, but also is not conducive to the development of the enterprise, no way, since the domestic talent has not grown up, then simply pack a suitable team!
After resting for a while, Chen Geng picked up the phone and dialed Jindler: "Hey, old Jin, it's me...... yes, it's over, it's not bad...... That's it, there's something I want to trouble you......"
