Not only Walter was looking at Ferdinand Piëch, but the entire board of directors was also looking at him, waiting for him to give an explanation. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As a Western company that may have dealt with the most high-level officials of the republic in the whole of Europe, Wolfsburg can be said to be one of the enterprises that knows the most about the government of the republic, and the reason why they are shy to compete with Chrysler Motors this time is to strive for cooperation with FAW Group, because they all know that FAW Group has much stronger political energy than SAIC.

For Wolfsburg, they do not value the technical strength and R&D level of the Chinese partner, on the contrary, if the technical strength and R&D level of the Chinese partner are really good, they will try to weaken the strength of the other party, just like SAIC, but they attach great importance to the political energy of the partner, and Runhua Industry obviously cannot meet this.

"It's simple, working with two companies at the same time......"

"It can't be!" Before Ferdinand Piëch could finish speaking, a director shouted: "The Chinese government has restrictions on joint ventures, we can only cooperate with two companies at most, there is no doubt that FAW is the best choice for Wolfsburg......"

"How do you know if you don't try? There's never a harm in trying. Ferdinand Piëch shrugged his shoulders and smiled lightly: "Can we make a suggestion to the Chinese government, or we can go to Runhua Industrial, as far as I know, that Chen Geng of Runhua Industrial has been an intern in our team for a long time, and he admires us very much in Wolfsburg, if he is willing to cooperate with us to put pressure on the Chinese government?" Or we can take one of our subordinate brands and work with them, in short, who can guarantee that this kind of thing will not work? ”

Use other brands of Wolfsburg to cooperate with this Runhua Industry? Ferdinand Piëch's suggestion made the directors of the board of directors shine: yes, the Chinese government only stipulates that a foreign company can only cooperate with a maximum of two Chinese companies and the shareholding ratio shall not exceed 50%, but Wolfsburg can hold more than one company, if you use another car brand under Wolfsburg to cooperate with Runhua Industrial, wouldn't it be a perfect circumvention of this regulation of the Chinese government?

And presumably the Chinese government would like to see such an outcome, right?

The only question is which brand should Wolfsburg come up with to cooperate with Runhua Industrial? Without thinking too much, the next moment, almost all the directors came up with a name: Seat!

The current Wolfsburg is not the Wolfsburg that was in full swing after 2005, not only Volkswagen, Skoda, Seat, this civilian sedan brand, but also Audi, a luxury car brand and Bentley, an ultra-luxury car brand, and Porsche, Lamborghini, Bugatti, these luxury sports car brands, after deciding to take the Audi brand and Chrysler to compete with FAW Group for cooperation qualifications, the current Wolfsburg, the only low-end sedan brand that can be taken out is only Seat.

"Then Seat," said Carl Hahn, the boss who had not spoken much, "Mr. Piëch, this matter is left to you." ”

"As you wish." Ferdinand Piëch bowed slightly to Karl Hahn: "I'm sure you'll hear good news before the show is over." ”

He didn't think that Chen Geng, a "German fan" who had a good impression and admiration for Wolfsburg, would refuse such an opportunity to cooperate with Wolfsburg, in Ferdinand Piëch's opinion, when he showed a little bit of meaning, it should be Chen Geng crying and shouting that he wanted to cooperate with Wolfsburg - and by the way, the new car called "Alpha" should also be brought to Wolfsburg.

For the "Alpha" taken out by Runhua Industrial, Ferdinand Piëch's eyes were a little red: such a beautiful car, why not from his own hands?

…………………………………………

Chen Geng didn't know that he had been remembered, and at this moment he was receiving a friend who thought he was from the Middle East, but the request made by this friend from the Middle East made Chen Geng a little embarrassed.

Don't get me wrong, the reason why Chen Geng is embarrassed is not because this friend from the Middle East has made any excessive requests, but because he sent money to Chen Geng, why is it difficult to send money to himself? Because this Middle Eastern buddy is very optimistic about the Wrangler and Alpha cars of Runhua Industrial, and wants to be the dealer of Runhua Industrial in the Middle East.

The products are exported to the Middle East, of course, this is a good thing, to be able to sell the products to the wild tyrants in the Middle East, I don't know how many car manufacturers dream, but the problem is that Chen Geng has some concerns: Runhua Industrial cars, whether in power or reliability, can not be compared with European, American and Japanese products.

Japanese products occupy a place in the Middle East because of the perverted reliability of Japanese brands, so although the performance of Japanese cars is very average, it is not bad for people to stand up, and it is natural to occupy a place in the CCP full of wild tyrants;

As for the American car brand, although the reliability is average, it can't stand the ruggedness of the American system and the power configuration of V8, V10, and V12 has also attracted a large number of American fanatics. Lack of power? That must be a lack of displacement! As long as the displacement and cylinder are increased", it is very much to the appetite of the Middle Eastern tyrants in the rectum: the power is insufficient and the displacement is okay!

Although the fuel consumption of American cars is a little higher, is high fuel consumption a problem for the Middle East tycoons who are floating on the oil fields on the whole land? Is it a problem? Is it a problem? The strange thing of competing whose car has higher fuel consumption can only be played by the wild tyrants of the Middle East;

Of course, the elegance, sophistication and luxury of European cars are also loved by Middle Easterners...... But what do you have here? Do you want to learn the stick in a few years to sell your face? Take a cucumber today, get a whole facelift tomorrow, and scratch your face twice the day after tomorrow?

As a "senior passive German fan" who is deeply poisoned by German car culture and tradition, thinking about this makes Chen Geng feel uncomfortable, and he can't do it anyway.

But now the question also comes, what should I do if the reliability of my products is not as good as the Japanese, the power is not as good as the Americans, and the elegance is not as good as the Europeans?

He has a very clear understanding of his own products, so he is very hesitant: if he just wants to go to the Middle East to make a profit, then of course he doesn't have to think about anything, but Chen Geng has already made an overall plan for the Middle East where the fertilizer is flowing oil, and naturally he is unwilling to lose big because of small.

But Chen Geng's hesitation fell in the eyes of this little Middle Eastern tyrant named Muhammad Ahmed - this name is simply as ordinary and popular as Xiao Ming, Zhang San, and Li Si in our country - in the eyes of this little tyrant in the Middle East, that is, Chen Geng was not happy, he immediately became anxious, patted his chest and said to Chen Geng in awkward English: "Mr. Chen, tell you this, if you cooperate with me, I promise to sell you 1,000 cars a year!" ”

For an automobile manufacturer, especially those export-oriented OEMs, the export business of 1,000 cars is nothing, and Japan's Toyota and Honda export hundreds of thousands of vehicles a year, but Yang Lei, who was listening to the sidelines, suddenly had his eyes popping out: even if the factory price of a car is calculated at 10,000 US dollars, this year, 1,000 cars is 10 million US dollars.

Unlike selling 1,000 cars in China, selling these 1,000 cars to the Middle East to earn back real foreign exchange, nothing can be more attractive than this, if you count the export of a full set of light truck parts and other businesses to Zambia, Runhua Industry's total export earnings may exceed 40 or 50 million US dollars a year...... Third brother, what are you still hesitating about? Hurry up and say yes!

Chen Geng obviously didn't think so, but he didn't want to miss such an opportunity, his eyes rolled, Chen Geng said: "Mr. Ahmed, thank you for your love of our products, but there is one thing to be clarified, our Runhua Industry is very strict in the selection of partners, so I can only say that I am glad that you will like our products, but specifically, I hope to inspect your business first......"

Third brother, are you mistaken? People take the initiative to send money to the door, are you reluctant? Yang Lei hurriedly put his fist behind his back, clenched and released it constantly, and he couldn't wait to pinch Chen Geng's neck and ask him to agree quickly.

But Muhammad Ahmed was not surprised by Chen Geng's words, in fact, Chen Geng was willing to give him a chance to test his strength, which already made Mohammad Ahmad very happy, he quickly nodded and said: "Of course, of course, I understand, Mr. Chen, no matter when you come to Iran, please inform me, I will let you fully appreciate our Iranian customs and enthusiasm." ”

Iran? This guy is an Iranian? Chen Geng was stunned for a moment, when he just heard Muhammad Ahmed introduce himself, when he listened to the very distinctive name of "Muhammad Ahmed" and the very distinctive beard of the Arabs, Chen Geng subconsciously thought that this guy should be from Saudi Arabia or a kingship country in the Middle East, but he didn't expect it to be from Iran.

But...... Iran? That's a good thing! Dude, I'm afraid I'm really close to Iran! Thinking of this, Chen Geng couldn't help laughing: "Okay, I'm looking forward to it, and besides, I think this is a very good start." ”

"Of course," said Muhammad Ahmed, taking the lead, excitedly, "There is no better place to start." ”

Cars are a lucrative business, and if you can successfully become a car dealer, you will have the qualifications to deal with those big names, which is really exciting to think about...... (To be continued.) )
