855. A new way to work together (Recently, my brain is not bright, and there is an upload error, but contact the editor after the holiday, it must be changed)
After returning to the reception room, Kaplan said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry Mayor Wang, I made you laugh just now, our company is ...... now."
He wanted to say something nice, but he hesitated for a moment and finally didn't continue, he also knew that no matter what he said, people would not believe it, and he couldn't find a reason at all. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wang Bo took a sip of coffee and said, "No need to apologize, man, I'm not hurt, but the situation of your company seems to be very worrying." ”
Kaplan said: "It's true that we're in a period of transition, it's a painful period, and as long as we get through it, I'm sure Holden can regain its position in the New Zealand car market." ”
Speaking of this, he looked at Wang Bo with sincere eyes: "But to achieve this goal, you need the support of customers, Mayor Wang, I can't say anything to you about lies..."
Wang Bo secretly said that you are lying to me, in the current situation, is it useful for you to lie to me? Will I believe your nonsense?
"The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Commerce and Trade are planning to introduce a buttoncarplan plan, which aims to improve the efficiency of the domestic automotive industry, not more but better, and at the same time reduce local protection, reduce taxes and fees, introduce overseas manufacturers to stimulate and increase the competitiveness of local enterprises, and integrate industry resources."
"It's going to be more difficult for us to work, and it's going to be hard for us to make a profit from the family car, because Holden can't beat Toyota, Volkswagen and Hyundai."
Wang Bo tapped his fingers on the table, and he groaned and said, "I now think that Horton may not even have the ability to launch a new type of car, right?" ”
"No, of course we have the ability, what we lack is money," Kaplan said. ”
Following the launch of the ButtonCarPlan program, GM decided to discontinue engine and vehicle production in Australia in 2017 and transform it into an international sales company, parts distribution center, and design center to take charge of GM's sales work.
And this is still the treatment of the Australian head office, as for the New Zealand branches? It is estimated that all of them will be disbanded by then.
It's hard to say whether the Holden brand will be retained, and there are so many large industrial brands under the GM Group that keeping Holden is useless for their global strategy.
Wang Bo had another idea, and he motioned for Kaplan to wait a moment, and wanted to call Battier to discuss a problem.
But Battier sniffed off his phone and sent back a text message saying he was in an important meeting.
Wang Bo had to wait, he knew that some of the meetings that Battier attended often took a long time, and what could be finished in three or four hours was considered short.
But what he was thinking about now had to be counseled by Battier, so he said to Kaplan, "We're a little tired from coming all the way, why don't we do this, man, let's go get some rest first, and talk later?" ”
Kaplan thought that he had lost interest in cooperating after seeing the situation at Holden's company, and a disappointed expression appeared on his face.
But he didn't have anything to say, so he nodded and said, "Okay, Mayor Wang, I'll find someone to take you to the hotel to rest first, to be honest, I very much hope we can cooperate." ”
Wang Bo smiled slightly and said, "If we cooperate, maybe the way we cooperate will surprise you." ”
Kaplan didn't understand what he was saying, and after smiling politely, he put them in the company's courtesy car.
What made him more relieved was that the helicopter was still parked in their company, which meant that Wang Bo would definitely come back.
Entering the hotel, Haney sighed and said, "Damn, Holden is in such a deplorable situation, when I was younger, my friends were proud to own a lion." ”
Lion car is another name for Holden car, and the logo of this car is very domineering, it is a lion. This lion is not a comic lion like the logo, but a majestic male lion.
Kidd said: "Poor manager Kaplan, I saw him smile expectantly when he heard the boss say that the way he would work together would surprise him, hoping that when the time comes, he will know that we want to empty the gloves of the white wolf, and he will not shed tears." ”
Wang Bo shook his head and said: "You guessed wrong, the cooperation I said is not this, but I plan to buy the shares of Horton Automobile, preferably to get a seat on the company's board of directors." ”
One word shocked the world, and everyone was taken aback when they heard his words, and they screamed:
"Are you kidding? Buying stock in Holden Motors? This brand is going to be withdrawn from the market. ”
"I'm pretty sure that GM is going to give up on Holden, and they're going to file for bankruptcy, otherwise they won't be able to accommodate that many employees."
"If you have so much money, boss, I suggest you buy more buildings here, speculate on real estate and prosper the country, and burn money in industry!"
Wang Bo now only has Sunset Town, lacking industrial support, and the current predicament of Holden Motors Company makes him see an opportunity.
Of course, this is just an opportunity, a good opportunity or a bad opportunity, and he has to wait for President Battier to help him analyze it.
Again, emaciated camels are bigger than horses, and Kaplan arranged a dinner address for them, a restaurant to taste Auckland-style cheeses.
White stone cheese is an Oamaru specialty, but there are several cheese shops on the outskirts of Auckland that produce it very authentic and have a reputation for their unique taste in Oceania.
There are more than a dozen varieties of white stone cheese for sale in the Auckland market, the most famous being the award-winning "Windsor Blue Cheese" that will be tasting tonight.
"It's a rare thing for a cheese lover, it's a blue cheese, it's beautiful and delicious, and you really should try it, sir." Hani said wistfully.
Kidd agreed, and Bowen looked forward to it, saying, "Is it so delicious?" Then I'll have to try it too. ”
Kaplan booked a private room for them, and when they went in, they ordered, and then the waiter served some bread and cheese, which is the Western rule in some places, and the bread and cheese were served before the meal.
This rule originated in Europe, and the reasons are varied, but it is generally believed that Europeans were relatively poor in the past, and there were few opportunities to eat big meals in restaurants, and even if they went, they could not afford to order enough delicious food.
As a result, some restaurants will serve bread and cheese to customers first, so that everyone can eat first.
Wang Bo looked at the tray for blue cheese, but he didn't see anything of this color, seeing this, Hani cut a piece of white cheese for him and said, "This is Windsor blue cheese." ”
This cheese also has something to do with the color blue, there are blue spots on it, Wang Bo asked, "Don't tell me, this spot is where its name comes from." ”
"yes, you guessed it!" Laughter rang out.
