Chapter 425: Refusal (Fourth Update)

There is no doubt that Brother Hu's car is the car that Alice Group gave to the senior Chinese leaders.

In the eyes of an automotive expert, this car is indeed very good, with a perfect blend of almost exaggerated streamlined body lines and low-key and restrained elegance; The creative multi-spoke aluminium wheels show a hint of dynamism, representing the enterprising spirit of this noble owner under the elegant exterior and heart; The black and elegant body metal paint is impressive, mysterious and understated.

The exterior feels good, but I don't know how the interior is inside, is it like the exterior of this car is so good? But since the Alice Group dared to send their head of state to use, it shouldn't be far off, right? Bired thought to himself, itching in his heart, and wanted to go in and have a look, but the inherent pride and reserve of the Germans in his product prevented him from doing so.

Well, in fact, Bired would not object if he had the chance, and the most important point is that Brother Hu did not invite Bired to ride in the same car with him.

In such a situation, if you rashly ask to ride in the same car with Brother Hu, it is a very rude behavior. For Bired, who always thinks of himself as a gentleman and always demands his behavior as a gentleman, such mistakes are never allowed to occur.

The overall feeling, if you don't consider the brand factor, only consider the shape of the car, this car is indeed much more beautiful than the Audi A8 that Volkswagen has just put into production, and it is more suitable to appear as a head of state-level car.

It's just that if this car appears under the Volkswagen Group, Birad may be very happy, but if it appears in other companies, not only Birid, but even the mood of the entire Volkswagen Group executives has become no longer so happy, especially if the manufacturer of this car is Mercedes-Benz or Lincoln, Cadillac and other old heads of state car manufacturers launched products, Bired believes that the brand competitiveness of Audi in the world is indeed not comparable to Mercedes-Benz, But the manufacturer of this car turned out to be a car company that also had a car officially rolled off the assembly line, which made Birad feel embarrassed?

The world-famous Volkswagen Group lost to a car company whose name was never known in a high-end head of state? Word got out about it. What would people around the world say? What will Audi's potential customers think about this? The Volkswagen Group will be the laughing stock of everyone!

Sitting in the Audi A8 that greeted him and others, Bired frowned tightly, thinking about how to deal with this matter: Now it seems that the situation may be much more severe than he and others imagined?

Andrew, vice president of the big country Volkswagen Group, who was sitting on Bired's side, also frowned. He naturally saw everything that Bired saw, and to be honest, he didn't expect that China, which has always been the blessed land of the Volkswagen Group, would suddenly make such a decision. Aren't they worried that the Volkswagen Group will suddenly adjust its China strategy and stop exporting advanced technology and production management methods to them?

Although they have never exported advanced automobile production technology to China, the workers in key positions in the two Sino-German joint ventures of the Volkswagen are all German skilled workers.

Before seeing the size of the Alice Automobile Group, Andrew did have enough reason to think so, in his mind, although the Alice Group has made extraordinary achievements in the field of high-tech and motorcycles, in the field of automobiles, it has always been. I have never heard of where they have introduced a large-scale automobile production line, that is, a while ago, a batch of automobile molds were ordered from Germany.

Such an automaker is easily reminiscent of the second- or third-rate regional small automakers that struggle to survive between the international auto giants. It was difficult for him to associate the Alice Group with a super-car production giant that combined the production capacity of the Gorky Automobile Plant and the Stalin Automobile Plant, two of the largest automobile manufacturers in the former Soviet Union, but the reality was cruel, and what he did not expect was the last thing he wanted to see.

The Volkswagen Group's representative office in China has sent some of the information collected by the Alice Group to the Volkswagen headquarters in Germany, and Birad has already seen it and knows that the Alice Automobile Group has previously launched a series of trucks, ranging from small twin-axle trucks to heavy-duty container trucks. It can be said that it covers all the demand ranges of the civilian truck market.

It's just that what Bired doesn't understand is why the staff of the Volkswagen Group's Chinese branch in China have not reacted to themselves until now, and only after they directly sent the car to the members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and the old man?

What did these guys do earlier? Did they all go eat? These guys. All should be fired! Billed thought angrily in his heart: Such an important piece of information, I didn't know until this time, what a fucking hell! Even if it was known half a year earlier, the Volkswagen Group would not be so passive.

"This time we came to visit Mr. Hu," this time he asked for help, and Bi Ruide put his posture very low. It was not as slightly arrogant as the previous times, "I brought a small gift to Mr. Hu." ”

This was the first sentence that Bired said after the two sides sat down after the two sides exchanged pleasantries in the Zhongnanhai meeting room. As he spoke, he took a small box from his entourage, "I hope Mr. Hu can like it." ”

"It can't be a car key, right?" Glancing at the small box, Brother Hu asked half-jokingly.

"Hehe, Mr. Hu is really wise." Bired was a little embarrassed. After all, the other party guessed what was in it before he even looked at the things he sent, which means that the things he prepared had long been expected by the other party, but from the point of view of intelligence collection, he failed to do this.

"It's nothing, it's just that I happened to receive such a small box two days ago, and compared to the two boxes, it's still better than the box two days ago." Brother Hu smiled, and his words were full of deep meaning, "Thank you, Mr. Birad, for your kindness." It's just that now I already have a car, and if I have another car, it will be beyond my party's regulations on the allocation of cars for party and government personnel. ”

In the official words, Brother Hu's words were almost a direct refusal, and the other party didn't accept the things he sent, which was quite a shameless thing.

Bired had guessed various situations before, imagined various possibilities, and made various possible ways to deal with them. But I didn't expect Brother Hu to refuse, and I couldn't help but be a little anxious, but if I continued to insist on giving this gift out, I would inevitably be a little suspicious of stalking, which would be too embarrassing!

Bired had an idea and suggested to Brother Hu, "I heard that Mr. Hu has a new car now?" I don't know if it's inconvenient for me to visit? ”

"Is this okay?" Brother Hu asked the secretary on his side.

"According to the regulations, foreign personnel are not allowed to ride in the special car of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee," the secretary put on a businesslike appearance and replied to Brother Hu seriously with a straight face, "If there is a real need, we will provide a special vehicle." ”

Where is this asking the secretary, it is clearly a disguised refusal! The last time I visited China, why didn't the current family members in China have so many taboos? Birad was a little confused: why was it that when he came here before, he was warmly received by the Chinese high-level all the times, and why did everything seem to have changed since this Alice Group suddenly appeared? What kind of magic does this Alice Group have that makes the entire Chinese high-level speak for them?

If Bi Ruide knew how much money the Alice Group had invested in order to plug the mouth of the German Volkswagen Group, it is estimated that Bi Ruide would not think so: Eight luxury bulletproof cars that have exceeded the BR-7 bulletproof standard, after a comprehensive inspection by the security department, are more than one level higher than the safety factor of the bulletproof cars that the Politburo Standing Committee members are now using, and compared with the stingy Audi, only one Audi V8 was given, which is still an ordinary version that is not bulletproof!

Everyone is not stupid, who is more willing to spend money, and it is not clear at a glance? After all, no matter what it is compared to, or your own life is the most important, the role of a bulletproof car, that is something that will save lives at critical moments, although there are not many such opportunities in China, but no one is sure that there is none, even if the Chinese people don't dare, who is sure that foreigners will not do this? Who can be sure that their nemesis won't do that? No one wants to die, even these people are no exception, at this time, the Alice Group, which is more willing to spend money, will naturally take advantage of it even more.

"I'm really sorry," Brother Hu smiled apologetically at Bi Red, "Although I personally would be very happy, the rules don't allow it." This is a complete nonsense, in fact, this sentence should be said like this: in fact, the main thing is that I personally do not allow it, so find a reason to prevaricate you, the reason why I say this is just that everyone's face is good-looking.

Another hope of Birad was disappointed: he wanted to sit in these cars made by the Alice Group and experience them for himself, and by the way, observe how they differ from his own Audi and what advantages they have. Perhaps we can also take this opportunity to learn from this and make some improvements to our own group's Audi. But as he was rejected by Brother Hu, all his thoughts came to naught.

This is not that Bired is discouraged, although he is reluctant to admit it, but Bired knows a truth: if it were not for the Alice Group's car is indeed much better than Audi in all aspects, it is impossible for the Chinese leadership to collectively replace their cars. What are the advantages of these cars compared to Audi? Bired was puzzled.
