Chapter 468: How Much Did You Earn?
If BMW wants to keep its brand moving forward and upward, then instead of bothering to build its own BMW brand, it is better to choose a new luxury car brand, because this is undoubtedly the best and shortest shortcut to success.
Isn't there a MINI under BMW? Just the MIN brand owned by BMW? Don't be funny, it's just that little car, it's almost the same as coaxing girls, and can take on the heavy responsibility of shaping a super luxury car brand for BMW? If the MINI can take on this responsibility, it will be one of the biggest and funniest jokes of the century!
As for why Zhang Lan didn't consider the Japanese, the reason is of course very simple, the Japanese, who are still in the stage of mixing in the stage of civilian cars, intermediate cars and high-end cars, are trying to climb in the direction of luxury car brands. For them, being able to achieve public recognition and brand fame like BMW, Mercedes-Benz and even Audi can already make them find a corner where no one can cover their mouths and snicker, how can they dare to hit the two luxury car brands Rolls-Royce and Bentley?
Zhang Lan estimated that even if such an opportunity was placed in front of them Japanese, their only possibility would be to faint in fright. Don't look at Honda, which claims to be the world's second largest car company, but compared to the background, it is still far behind!
Haven't they done that historically? When Vickers announced the sale of its Rolls-Royce and Bentley, the Japanese automobile companies, which have always been known for their shrewdness, were slow to respond this time like an old lady in her nineties who was about to enter the earth! Even after BMW and Volkswagen got the matter done, the Japanese didn't react.
Well, some people may say that the Japanese are disdainful, but that is pure nonsense, if the Japanese do not covet the luxury car market, what are they doing with a crown? Even in order to get rid of his Japanese roots, what did he do with Lexus (now called Lexus), which was positioned as a luxury car brand? Is it just idle and having fun?
Japanese. That's all there is to it!
"That's it," after listening to Zhang Lan's analysis, Xiao Chenxi and Alice frowned tightly at the same time. "Hearing you say that, it's really a bit difficult to do."
Looking at the two girls frowning tightly and thinking hard, Zhang Lan's expression was a little dazed, and then she realized that the two girls were so beautiful when they were frowning here!
"Not really." What do you think? Zhang Lan, who found that he was a little distracted. Quickly twisted himself quietly on his thighs to bring himself back to his senses, "This matter." I didn't expect it to be so complicated, so if you analyze it like this, we are facing a lot of problems! β
"That's right," Xiao Chenxi nodded in agreement, "This thing seems to be quite challenging and fun, it seems that we need to plan how we should do it." β
"It's fun to play with a challenge!" By this time, Alice seemed to be scrappy. Clenched small fists. The beautiful little face was full of confidence, "Miss Ben is going to let that stinky fart BMW and Volkswagen know." What kind of strength does Alice Group have? β
"Mm-hmm," Xiao Chenxi nodded frequently with a look of approval. "If you can kick the public out of China, Princess Ben can also kick out these two companies when she goes to the UK!"
Zhang Lan listened to the sweat: The two aunts and grandmothers regard this thing that is enough to affect their future strategic layout as a fun game!
"What do you want to do?" Zhang Lan asked a little nervously, "It doesn't mean that you want to demolish other people's factories or hack their company's local capital accounts, right?" "In terms of this girl's character, uh, these two possibilities are not impossible. If this girl did that, well, it turned out to be obvious, there would be no other company to compete with the Alice Group.
"How can Miss Ben do such a boring, low-level and tasteless thing?" Alice looked up at her little head proudly, arrogantly like the most favored princess, "This time Miss Ben is going to defeat these two guys in a dignified manner!" β
"By the way," said Alice, "I forgot to tell you good news. β
"Good news?" Zhang Lan frowned, it seems that she has heard a lot of good news recently, but more of it is quite difficult good news, I don't know what the good news is this time?
"Well," Alice nodded, "on July 2, the Thai government announced that the Thai baht would be decoupled from the US dollar and a floating exchange rate system would be implemented. Guess what's going on? β
It turned out to be a wolf! What else can the Thai government's action to quench its thirst do in addition to causing a sharp drop in the exchange rate? Zhang Lan smiled secretly, there is the US government making waves behind it, if it doesn't fall, it's really strange! It's just that Alice asked, and she always had to cooperate, "If it falls, it must have fallen, but I don't know how much it has fallen?" More than 10 percent? β
Sure enough, Alice was very satisfied with Zhang Lan's cooperation, and nodded very satisfied, "It's not just ten percent?!" On the same day, the exchange rate of the Thai baht against the US dollar plummeted by 20 percent! This is not to mention, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, and other small Southeast Asian countries, which have the same economic development model as Thailand and naturally have the same economic problems, have been affected by the sharp drop in the exchange rate of the Thai baht against the US dollar, and have quickly been hit by the huge impact of the depreciation of the Thai baht, and can no longer stand it. β
"Oh? And then what? Is something happening that is more beneficial to us? Zhang Lan held her chin with great interest, and listened to Alice continue, it is now the middle of July, and according to the trend of historical development, a greater impact should come. Zhang Lan thinks that although his arrival has affected some things, it should not affect those places in Southeast Asia, right?
"And then of course a worse situation appeared, well, as you said, a more favorable situation for us appeared," Zhang Lan cooperated seamlessly, and every question was asked on the point that Alice had to say below, and Alice felt that it was comfortable in her heart, just like someone handed her an itch when she was tickled, and it was extremely comfortable! The little girl's eyebrows danced, "On July 11, that is, the day before yesterday, after Thailand, the Philippines announced that the Philippine peso would be allowed to be exchanged with the US dollar in a wider range, which was a disguised decision made the same decision as the Thai government, and the Philippine peso fell by 11.5% on the same day!" How about it, these currencies are depreciating like crazy, and we are making a lot of money! β,
"Is there anything more exciting?" Zhang Lan cooperated and continued to ask.
Xiao Chenxi, who knew the situation, was also very cooperative, and nodded frequently behind Zhang Lan.
Sure enough, with Zhang Lan and Xiao Chenxi cooperating so much, Alice was even more crazy, "Of course, there are more exciting!" On the same day that the Philippines announced that it would allow the peso to be exchanged against the US dollar on a larger scale, Malaysia stopped its national currency, the ringgit, from depreciating further by raising bank rates. Indonesia was also forced to give up the exchange rate between the rupiah and the US dollar, and the result is naturally conceivable, the rupiah is called a sharp fall! As of today, July 14, the rupiah has depreciated by 14 points in the ten days from July 2 to 14! It almost symbolizes 14% of Indonesia's national wealth and is eaten, isn't it exciting? β
It's really exciting! Exactly the same as what happened in history! There was no deviation at all! These Southeast Asian countries, which have grown fat, are being frantically bitten and devoured by these economic and financial predators led by the United States, and the wealth accumulated over decades has become meat in other people's mouths in an instant, and these murderous crocodiles still have the blood of these countries hanging from the corners of their mouths.
The situation is very similar to the pigs raised by the peasants, who grow from small piglets to big pigs, and when they grow fat, they can be slaughtered, and they are killed and eaten for meat; After eating, raise a batch of piglets, and then wait for the piglets to grow into big pigs and kill them to eat meat. And so on and so on, and keep circulating, to ensure that you will have meat to eat when you are hungry.
These cruel beasts in Europe and the United States, who are usually dressed in democracy and freedom, have torn apart the colorful and dazzling coats shrouded in this halo on their bodies, which countless fools are eager to follow, and their hideous faces are finally revealed at this moment, as if they are executioners, laughing and shouting arrogantly: "Little piglets, life is endless, killing pigs and eating meat is not stopped!" β
As for Indonesia, which is unlucky, uh, if for other countries, Zhang Lan still can't bear to participate in the carving-up, and can barely shed two crocodile tears, then for these damn Indonesian monkeys, Zhang Lan would like to take this opportunity to knock these half-civilized monkeys out of the bone and marrow, and then directly erase them from the map - it seems that the taste of monkey brains is good, but unfortunately he didn't have the opportunity to taste what kind of monkey brains these Indonesian monkeys taste.
It would be ridiculous to think that the financial crisis would stop at this point. As some countries in Southeast Asia advertise: "The government has taken reliable and necessary measures, and this economic turmoil will soon pass." "Very naΓ―ve, really naΓ―ve. If that were the case, the crisis would not have been called the worst economic crisis of the late twentieth century. Those who believe these words are probably the first people to be eaten.
In front of the greedy and murderous predators who have just eaten the pre-dinner hors d'oeuvres, how can this little benefit satisfy their insatiable appetite? This is only the first wave, and then there will be a second, third, and fourth wave of economic offensives, so that these greedy and brutal predators who have already been seduced will not be fed and drunk, and they will not be allowed to stop!
"How much have we made so far?" Compared with the losses of those distant countries, Zhang Lan was obviously more concerned about how much his money bag was bulging.
