"What? Wolfsburg can't make up this mind? Chen Geng looked at Ferdinand Piëch with a smile, with a look on his face, "You are really cowardly!" "I don't understand, what's wrong with this?" We can provide the best styling, the best design, and we can also share the cost of platform research and development and spare parts procurement - I remember I told you that although our newly expanded factory is about to be put into use, in the next 5 years, we will strive to expand our production capacity to at least 250,000?

What is the current annual production capacity of Wolfsburg? What is the annual production capacity of Wolfsburg in 5 years? According to the agreement we reached with Skoda, what will be the annual production capacity of Skoda in 5 years? Five years later, with an annual production capacity of more than 1.5 million vehicles, we are already the world's largest automobile manufacturing industrial group. Which spare parts supplier dares not to give us the best price? ”

With Chen Geng's words, Piëch's breathing became short!

He is also really moved, indeed as Chen Geng said, now Wolfsburg, the cumulative annual output of passenger cars of various types and sub-brands exceeds 800,000 units, and Skoda's annual production capacity is 200,000 units, according to the agreement reached between the previous purchase and Skoda, Skoda will reach an annual production capacity of 300,000 vehicles in 5 years, and the annual production capacity of Wolfsburg will exceed 1 million vehicles, plus at least 250,000 units of Runhua Industry, which is the total production capacity of at least 1.55 million vehicles, which is just the most conservative number. At that time, it is very likely to exceed 1.7 million units!

With an annual production capacity of 1.7 million vehicles, if Wolfsburg, Skoda and Runhua Industrial can share supplier resources as much as possible, how strong will they have bargaining power in the face of spare parts suppliers? Ferdinand Piëch was a little unthinkable. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But one thing is certain, that is, with such a huge production capacity, the relationship between the "Wolfsburg-Skoda-Runhua Automobile Industry Alliance" and suppliers will be immediately reversed, not Wolfsburg begging suppliers, but suppliers begging for the spare parts procurement committee jointly composed of Wolfsburg Automobile, Runhua Industry and Skoda, how much can the purchase price of spare parts be reduced? I dare not say more, at least 10% is definitely not a problem.

The purchase price of spare parts will be reduced by 10%, and if the annual production capacity of 1.55 million units is calculated, taking into account after-sales maintenance and parts renewal, at least 1.7 million sets will be purchased......

Thinking of this, Piëch couldn't hold back any longer, Piëch licked his lips and said in a deep voice: "Chen, I can't reply to you now, but I will report your proposal to the board of directors as soon as I go back." ”

"Of course, I totally understand." Chen Geng nodded.

Such a big thing, of course, is not something that Piëch can make a decision with an executive vice president, and he didn't expect Piëch to promise himself now, picked up a file bag from the table, Chen Geng said: "In order to show the sincerity of the cooperation of Runhua Industry, I designed a hatchback car positioned at the A0 level, which is the first product of our cooperation." ”

The first product of the collaboration? Piëch looked at the file bag, and then at Chen Geng: "Can I open it now?" ”

"Of course," Chen Geng smiled and made a gesture: "Please." ”

On the top is a color rendering, seeing this green hatchback rendering, Piëch subconsciously gasped: so beautiful!

The front of the car is two large, two small and four round headlights, the lines of the body are simple and smooth but there is no lack of sense of technology, with this similar to apple green, with a metallic texture of the paint, giving people a playful feeling, compared to the current straight and right-angled body design, the shape of this car does not know how much better, but at first glance, Ferdinand Piëch liked this shape.

The exterior styling of the car was very experienced, and did not disappoint Ferdinand Piëch, especially the shape of the dashboard and the choice of white backlights, which made Ferdinand Piëch's eyes shine......

Don't be surprised, this is one of Wolfsburg's most classic designs: the four-eyed round light POLO.

"Very beautiful!" Forcibly pulling his eyes away from the rendering in front of him, Ferdinand Piëch said: "Chen, this is indeed a very beautiful car, are you really willing to take this car out as the first product of our cooperation?" ”

"Of course," Chen Geng nodded affirmatively: "I said that for this cooperation, Runhua Industry is very sincere, of course, we also have a few conditions. ”

Ferdinand Piëch was not surprised at all by Chen Geng's conditions, this is a design that the designer has spent countless efforts on at a glance, Piëch dares to guarantee that this car will definitely achieve very good sales results in Europe and South America, which are highly fond of hatchbacks, Chen Geng came up with such a great design, if he has no requirements it would be strange, nodded and said: "You say." ”

Looking at Ferdinand Piëch, Chen Geng said solemnly: "If we reach cooperation in the future, we must include the existing suppliers of Runhua Industry into the scope of inspection. ”

After a little hesitation, Ferdinand nodded: "Yes, but I can't guarantee ......"

"I understand what you mean," Chen Geng said, without waiting for Ferdinand Piesi to finish, "the premise of being able to enter our spare parts supporting enterprises is that their product quality must meet our requirements, you can rest assured, I will not joke with my own interests." ”

"That's good." Ferdinand Piesi breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, he was really a little worried that Chen Geng would forcibly ask the purchasing committee to purchase their products when he knew that the products of Runhua Industry's original supporting suppliers did not meet the requirements, but now with Chen Geng's words, he was relieved.

He can also understand why Chen Geng would make such a request, on the one hand, if all the spare parts are abroad, for Runhua Industry, the demand for foreign exchange alone will be fatal, of course they will not agree; The second point is that these suppliers have been firmly supporting the development of Runhua Industry before, and now they have an opportunity to step onto the international stage, and Runhua Industry will of course pull them together. This is human nature, not to mention that Runhua Industry will do this, Wolfsburg will also do it.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Geng put forward the second condition: "We Runhua Industry also has auto parts business, if there is something that we Runhua Industry can provide, the price is comparable in the case of meeting the quality requirements, our alliance must purchase Runhua Industrial spare parts." ”

Of course, Piech knew that Runhua Industrial had an auto parts business, and the four shock absorbers and springs needed for the Poussin cars produced in the Republic were provided by Runhua Industry, as well as the carburetors for the engine, which also came from Runhua Industry's parent company: the Third Ordnance Maintenance Plant of the East China Military Region. If there are any spare parts that Runhua Industry can provide, and the quality and price can meet the requirements of Wolfsburg, there seems to be no reason to disagree.

After a little hesitation, Piëch finally nodded: "Of course, if the spare parts provided by Runhua Industry are up to standard in terms of quality and price, of course we have no reason not to purchase," but at the same time, Piëch also clearly emphasized one point: "But all this is based on the premise that we can reach this cooperation, in addition, even if it is purchased, it is impossible to hand over all the items or certain spare parts we need to you, in the consideration of risk prevention, the same spare parts, we must have at least 2 supporting enterprises." ”

"Of course," Chen Geng smiled: "This is also what I want to say." ”

“…… That's the rough picture, sir. Ferdinand Piecy said respectfully to Carl Hahn.

There is no doubt that the most important thing for Ferdinand Piësch to come to Czechoslovakia this time was the official signing ceremony for the acquisition of Skoda Automobiles, but compared with Chen Geng's proposal to form the "Wolfsburg-Skoda-Runhua Industrial Automobile Alliance", there is no possibility of any unexpected shareholding signing ceremony.

After listening to Ferdinand Piëch's report, Karl Hahn did not comment on this suggestion, but after a moment of silence, he asked in a deep voice: "Sounds like a very good proposal, Ferdinand, what do you think about this?" ”

Ferdinand Piëch did not hesitate: "I think it deserves careful consideration. ”

This is nonsense!

Even in terms of the current scale of Wolfsburg Motors, Chen Geng's proposal can help Wolfsburg Motors increase its net profits by at least hundreds of millions of dollars every year, and with the further expansion of Wolfsburg's production capacity and the scale of the entire alliance, if the three parties can really establish a cooperative relationship, Wolfsburg Motors will further expand the extent to which it will benefit.

Of course, Karl Hahn knew that Wolfsburg would benefit from this proposal, but as the chairman of Wolfsburg Automobile, he could not only see the benefits of Chen Geng's proposal to Wolfsburg, but also think about what disadvantages this cooperation would have for Wolfsburg, and for Wolfsburg, as a whole, how much Wolfsburg would need to pay? And how much can you get? In the end, did Wolfsburg make a profit or a loss? This requires a specialized actuarial firm to calculate the general ledger.

"By the way, Chen's car is very beautiful," Ferdinand Piesi remembered something else: "He said that he designed this car to replace our POLO, that is, to replace the PQ22 platform that we are using now, although I only saw the renderings, but ......"

"What did you say?" Carl Hahn was taken aback by Ferdinand Piesi, and hurriedly said: "You said that the rendering that Chen Geng showed you is a replacement for the POLO model?" And excellent? ”

"Yes," Ferdinand Piesi's tone was a little heavy, knowing why Mr. Chairman would interrupt him in a gaffe, "In my opinion, it is much better than the third-generation Polo we are designing, but in terms of exterior and interior, it is at least 10 years ahead!" ”

"Is it so powerful?" Karl Hahn was a little unconvinced.

Now the second generation of polo in production has entered the end of the life cycle, Wolfsburg has just begun the design of the third generation of Polo, if nothing else, the third generation of POLO, that is, based on the PQ23 platform of a new generation of POLO will be officially put into production in 1994, as a main civilian model brand, POLO, Beetle, Golf and Passat are the four troikas of the Wolfsburg brand, also corresponding to the four platforms, All other derivative models are developed based on these four platforms, and if Chen Geng's car surpasses Wolfsburg at least in terms of styling and interior design, then the matter is really serious.

"Yes, I think so," said Ferdinand Piesi, "and my personal opinion is that I think Chen's POLO and their Runhua A6L are products of the same era and with a unified design concept, and similar design languages can be seen on both products." ”

Carl Hahn stopped talking, of course he knew the A6L car of Runhua Industry, when it was unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show, it shocked the whole of Europe, thinking that this is a design that is 10 years ahead of the times, and is still not outdated in the next 10 years, and has won countless awards in Europe and even the world, and is considered by countless European arrogant designers to be "the design of the times", if this polo is really the same design concept as Runhua A6L, Products with the same design language really need to be cautious in Wolfsburg.

Wolfsburg once conducted a secret analysis of the A6L model, and the conclusion was that if this model was handed over to Wolfsburg for production, the overall sales of Wolfsburg would increase by at least 20%, and under the pull of this model, the overall sales of the Wolfsburg Group would be increased by more than 10%.

After a long silence, Karl Hahn's voice finally rang out: "I understand, I'll call the directors right away." ”

Convening a board meeting to discuss this? Of course!

Ferdinand Piesi was not at all surprised by Mr. Chairman's decision, which was a multi-billion-dollar partnership that had never been seen before in the history of Wolfsburg. He immediately said, "What do you need me to do?" ”

Carl Hahn said: "After completing the signing, the other thing is to be prepared, if necessary, maybe we need to invite Mr. Chen Geng to come and discuss this matter personally. ”

"Okay."
