Chapter 832: "Observers" and Confrontations

What Chen Geng wants to say is that your Carl Hahn's acting skills are too exaggerated, right?

Did Yamaha ever come into contact with Wolfsburg? Chen Geng didn't know, but with Chen Geng's understanding of the habits of the little devils, if they hadn't secretly had private contact with Wolf Castle...... Is it worthy of the tradition that little devils have always liked to engage in intrigue and trickery?

Looking at Carl Hahn, who was really not very good at acting, Chen Geng smiled and didn't speak: Dr. Hahn, it seems that you need to go to La Masia Film and Television Academy for further study. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Ha ......" was stared at by Chen Geng with this kind of "I have seen through all this a long time ago" eyes, Carl Hahn finally couldn't hold it anymore, and laughed: "Of course, Hiroshi Kawakami did come to me, but before communicating with you, I will not agree to any of his requests, you can rest assured." ”

I'll just take what you're saying. Chen Geng smiled slightly: "So, Mr. Hahn, what do you mean?" ”

"Me? I think it's good," Karl Hahn said slyly, "Yamaha doesn't have any experience in building complete vehicles, but they have a lot of experience in top-level motor racing, so it's a good choice for them to join in...... Oh, by the way, Mr. Hiroshi Kawakami told me that you are ready to cooperate with Yamaha in full, and from this point of view, you are also partners, and you must support Yamaha's involvement, right? ”

Old fox! Chen Geng scolded in his heart.

Karl Hahn's reaction was tantamount to telling Chen Geng that Yamaha had not only secretly contacted Wolfsburg without concealing it, but also that the two sides must have reached a series of agreements.

Although it is not clear what the specific content of their agreement is, there is one thing that Chen Geng is extremely sure in his heart, that is, Yamaha must have paid a lot of price in order to enter this alliance - this is nothing, but what makes Chen Geng extremely unhappy is that the idea of forming an alliance was proposed by himself, but the meat that Wolfsburg cut from Yamaha has nothing to do with Runhua Industry at all, Nima! It is equivalent to Lao Tzu's hard work, but in the end he made a wedding dress for someone else?

It's so unpleasant.

"There are no absolutes in this world," Chen Geng looked at Carl Hahn with a smile: "If Yamaha can make some satisfactory contributions to our alliance, of course Runhua Industrial welcomes new partners, but for now, I think Yamaha's sincerity to our alliance remains to be seen." ”

"Oh? What do you mean......"

"Observer! Similar to observer states in some international organizations, we give Yamaha Corporation observer treatment. Chen Geng finally showed the head he had prepared for Yamaha: "Doesn't Yamaha hope to take the opportunity to join the alliance to enter auto parts manufacturing and even vehicle manufacturing?" No problem, we'll give them this opportunity, but it's not gratuitous, the resources of the alliance are not available to everyone, Yamaha can't go directly to the alliance as a member, but as an observer, and only after a period of observation, if Yamaha does fully contribute within the alliance, then give them full alliance membership treatment - if there are members who want to join our alliance in the future, they should also follow this path. ”

Observer?

That's right, observer!

Not only Carl Hahn, but also the other high-ranking members of the Wolfsburg Group present had their eyes lit up.

They are all foxes who have accumulated years, and these old foxes are immediately keenly aware that if they really set up such an observer position in the alliance, they will be able to bring countless benefits to themselves:

First of all, not only do you not have to worry about Yamaha not fulfilling its previous "promises";

Secondly, there is no need to worry about Yamaha not being able to work;

Third, as the carrot hanging in front of Yamaha, Wolfsburg can also use it to get more good things from Yamaha......

In short, once you get such an observer position that is equivalent to the label of "to be investigated", you are no longer afraid that anyone who just becomes a member of the alliance will not be obedient.

They were completely unaware of the hole that Chen Geng had dug for Wolfsburg and Yamaha: According to the practice of international organizations, all members in the position of "observers", whether a country or an enterprise, if they want to become full members of this organization, they must obtain the approval of the vast majority or all members of the organization.

"Good!"

"Great!"

"Observers? Hey...... I loved the location. ”

"I also like that Chan made a great suggestion. Well, Yamaha can only be an observer......"

…………

The executives of Wolfsburg whispered their views on Chen Geng's suggestion, even if they were proud in their hearts, the executives of Wolfsburg were also impressed by Chen Geng's suggestion to set up an observer position, and they immediately found that if such an "observer" position was set up equivalent to the "observer" position to be investigated, the benefits would not be too much for themselves.

Karl Hahn was also full of praise for Chen Geng's suggestion: "Chen, your proposal is fantastic, I like it. ”

Chen Geng smiled and said, "OK, so Yamaha is our first observer member?" ”

"That's right, Yamaha was our first observer member company......"

"Hmm......" nodded with a smile, Chen Geng continued: "So what does Wolf Castle mean is to agree to the establishment of such a technology sharing and spare parts procurement channel sharing alliance?" ”

Carl Hann was stunned for a moment, looked at Chen Geng, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: he was given the hole card of Wolf Castle by Chen Geng, and the original plan was to nod his head and express his willingness to establish this alliance after Runhua Industry paid a certain benefit......

"Yes, the establishment of the alliance is beneficial to us, and Wolf Castle naturally has no reason to object," although Chen Geng made such a small calculation, so that his previous plan changed, but Carl Hahn is Carl Hahn, as the "head wolf" of Wolf Castle, he will not be obsessed with things that are impossible to change, Chen Geng can quietly pit himself, that is his ability, but whether Chen Geng can succeed in the next step really depends on this kid's ability: "But what I want to say is, Although Wolfsburg is looking forward to the establishment of this alliance, there are still many questions waiting for us to solve in what way the members of this alliance should cooperate with each other and what the cooperation charter should be......"

Facing the soft knife handed over by Carl Hahn, Chen Geng dodged lightly: "So I'm here today, isn't it?" ”

"Haha...... That's right," Karl Hahn laughed and nodded, "Chen, please!" ”

Chen Geng complained in his heart: After talking for a long time, this old guy seems to remember that the big guy is still at the gate? I don't know what it will say in the newspaper tomorrow? Does it mean that the two sides are chatting happily at the gate, or is it that the two sides are not in harmony, and Wolfsburg Automobile deliberately stumbles on Runhua Industry?

……………………………………

If the conversation at the gate of the Wolfsburg headquarters is still everyone's own little abacus, then in the conference room, this quarrel in the name of "symposium" is naked @naked @naked and unconcealed.

In the face of Chen Geng's suggestion that the new platform should be jointly developed and the results should be shared by the members of the alliance, Carl Hahn refused to back down: "We agree with the concept of co-financing R&D and sharing the platform, but in the process of developing the new platform, how can the contribution of all parties be calculated?" What about the ownership of the research and development results? It can't be owned equally by three companies, right?

Therefore, in order to minimize investment, Wolfsburg's requirement is that all models must be developed on the basis of Wolfsburg's existing platform, and Skoda and Runhua Industrial must pay Wolfsburg part of the R&D costs of the previous Wolfsburg R&D platform! ”

"Wolfsburg's current PQ22, PQ23, PQ32, PQ33, PL series platforms? With all due respect, I really don't like the technical level of these platforms," Chen Geng scoffed at Carl Hahn's sky-high asking price: "Mr. Hahn, you must understand that the purpose of my proposal to form this alliance is to enable everyone to reduce R&D and production costs and improve our market competitiveness, not to let one member of the alliance monopolize the vast majority of the benefits, no one is stupid, and no one will make a loss-making deal......"

"Mr. Chen, with all due respect, do the engineers of Runhua Industrial have the ability to independently develop one or several new platforms?" Ferdinand Piëch interjected, although he seemed to have a good relationship with Chen Geng before, but his Piëch family is one of the three major shareholders of Wolfsburg, and at this time he is naturally doing his best to fight for the interests of Wolfsburg and his family: "Although we are talking about joint research and development, we all know that the main force of research and development must be our Wolfsburg automobile ......."

"Really? I don't agree with that," Chen Gengjing interrupted Ferdinand Piëch: "If you follow the theory of you and Mr. Karl Hahn, I think Runhua Industrial can take out our current Runhua A6L model and use it as a platform for the alliance's 'front longitudinal rear-wheel drive medium and large car'. ”

Runhua A6L is Chen Geng based on passatB5, that is, Volkswagen has not yet begun to develop the PL45 platform development, but because Runhua Industry does not have a suitable longitudinal front-wheel drive gearbox, and the old SH sedan is equipped with a five-speed manual gearbox is just a longitudinal rear-wheel drive gearbox, so after retuning this gearbox, Chen Geng moved this gearbox and the corresponding rear drive axle to the quality passatB5, becoming a unique one. The front four-link independent suspension, the rear torsion beam semi-independent suspension, and the longitudinal rear-wheel drive" passatB5.

But these secrets, the people of Wolf Castle don't know, as soon as they heard Chen Geng say that they would take out their Runhua A6L platform, the eyes of a group of guys in Wolf Castle were green!

Why?

Because this car of Runhua Industry has been leading the trend of automobile development around the world, after this car has won countless awards around the world, and consumers in many countries and regions have cried and shouted to buy this car but cannot get it, OEMs around the world have begun to abandon the previous design with straight edges and right angles, which is stupid at first glance...... In other words, the previous design can no longer be called design, but can only be called "implementation function...... At the Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland just this year, several OEMs have come up with their own concept cars, and without exception, they have received high attention from the media and the market, which makes Wolfsburg saliva non-stop.

Of course, Wolfsburg also has the idea of developing this kind of model with smooth lines and beautiful curves, but how can it be cool to directly take the Runhua A6L from scratch?

Ferdinand Piëch's eyes widened and he immediately asked, "Chen, are you serious?" Are you really willing to take your A6L platform technology out? ”

Chen Geng smiled and said, "As long as everyone can reach an agreement, why not?" ”

"So...... What about the cost? ”

"It's free!"

"Free?"

Ferdinand Piëch was stunned, Karl Hahn was stunned, everyone present was stunned: free? Don't want money? Chen Geng is crazy, right? Or is it stupid?

"Yes, it's free," Chen Geng leaned back on the soft and comfortable leather chair and said categorically: "You can regard this as the commitment of the chairman of Runhua Industrial and the largest natural person shareholder." ”

Do you see this as the commitment of the chairman of Runhua Industrial and the largest natural person shareholder? That is to say...... Is this bastard playing for real?

As soon as Chen Geng's words fell, the huge conference room suddenly fell silent, but this silence only existed for a few seconds, and the next moment, hundreds of ducks seemed to be stuffed into the conference room in an instant, and the ears were full of "buzzing......" discussions......

It worked.

Looking at the flushed faces of these Wolf Castle executives in front of him, who were usually high up in Wolf Castle, because of his proposal, Chen Geng clenched his fists hard.

Did Chen Geng suffer a loss? It seems that he has suffered a loss, but Chen Geng, who has tried his best to pass the baptism of the Internet industry, clearly understands, what is the most powerful? Free things are the most powerful, free, how good, you can get what you want without paying a penny, but the more free things are, the more "toxic", Chen Geng wishes these guys in front of him were a little more greedy - anyway, the design scheme of those platforms was not made by himself.

Karl Hahn swallowed hard and reminded him with difficulty: "Chen, you came up with a design for a small car before......"

He was really worried that Chen Geng would say, "That's not free."

Facing the hungry and expectant eyes of the executives of Wolfsburg like vicious dogs looking at meat and bones, Chen Geng nodded and said, "Of course, that one is also free." ”
