Chapter 793: Yamaha's Outside Must Be Inside
Chen Geng replied: "Of course, this can be written into the contract. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Yoshiichi Qiyama clenched his fists so hard that his nails almost pierced the skin of his palm.
Although Chen Geng's conditions are still a long way from Yamaha's dream of becoming an OEM, there is no doubt that Chen Geng's proposal has rekindled Yamaha's hope of becoming an OEM when the dream of OX99-11 is on the verge of hitting the streets.
Although it is only a "YAMAHA" high-performance version, because it is a high-performance version, if this high-performance version of the model can achieve good results in the international car rally, Yamaha has the opportunity to become a high-performance sports racing solution like Cosworth, and it also means that one day in the future, if Yamaha wants to launch its own vehicle, at least solve the problem of public recognition: since Yamaha has been able to cooperate with other manufacturers to develop a high-performance racing car, Their technical strength is certainly not weak, how bad will the cars they produce themselves be?
For Yamaha, who had never had experience in vehicle production, this recognition was too important.
Pursing his lips a few times, trying his best not to get too excited about this, Kiyama Yoshiichi worked hard to get better conditions for Yamaha: "Also, the rear logo of this car must be Yamaha'......"
"Mr. Qishan, are you sure you have seriously considered your request?" Before Qishan Yiyi finished speaking, Chen Geng's brows were already furrowed, and he looked at Qishan Yiyi with displeasure.
Qi Shanyi was a little stunned for a moment: Even if you don't agree, you don't have to speak so fiercely, right?
"Mr. Qishan, let's not talk about whether Runhua Industry will agree, according to China's trademark law, only the products of the joint venture can be hung with the logo and LOGO of both companies," Facing the confused Qishan Yoshiichi, Mr. Xie followed closely and took the words, and his tone was very serious: "Mr. Qishan, you have to understand one thing, we are only cooperating on this project, not a joint venture." ”
"But we can provide the best technology," said Yoshiichi Kiyama, who refused to give up: "Yamaha is the engine supplier for F1 events......"
"But the reliability of the OX99 engine you provided to zakspeed doesn't seem to be very good," Chen Geng stabbed Kiyama in the heart: "zakspeed has announced the launch of next year's F1 race, and it seems that your unreliable OX99 engine has played a role." ”
"......" Qishan Yoshiyi was speechless.
As for Garten Junmin and Hatoyama Tomoto, there is only one thought in their hearts now: Can you stop talking about our pigtails? Can it?
"Compared to Yamaha, I think the technical level of Cosworth and AVL is not bad, especially Cosworth, I heard that Cosworth's financial situation is not very good now, if there is such a big business in front of them, I don't think Cosworth will refuse," After beating Yamaha hard and warning them not to have any undesirable thoughts, Old Man Xie snorted: "Mr. Qishan, as well as Mr. Hatoyama and Mr. Kato, you must understand, There are many technology and total solution providers that can meet our requirements, and allowing the Yamaha logo to appear on our cars is already a huge concession from Runhua Industries, so you must not have any thoughts that you shouldn't have. ”
Yoshiichi Qiyama was speechless, and Tomoshi Hatoyama and Junmin Gaten were even more ashamed of their shameless self-esteem.
Mr. Xie is right, no OEM will allow any logo and LOGO of the technology provider to appear on its own products, even if it is a powerful power giant like Cosworth, this is a bottom line that all OEMs abide by, just like "TYPER" is to Honda, "GT-R" is only the same as Nissan, everyone knows that as long as this logo is brought on, it is a representative of high performance, and Runhua Industry allows the "YAMAHA" logo to appear on its own car. This has represented the great sincerity of Runhua Industry, so that the six letters "YAMAHA" appear in the position of the tail mark?
What do you want? Any company could agree to such a request.
Chen Geng added a heavy weight to the heart of the "Yamaha trio" at the right time: "Gentlemen, for the cooperation between the two sides, we Runhua Industry is very sincere, but I also hope that you can correct your attitude and don't make some unrealistic requests, which only hurts our friendship." ”
Although Chen Geng said it very tactfully, Kiyama Yoshiichi, Garten Junmin and Hatoyama all understood the meaning: Want to cooperate? Show some sincerity, it's not me begging you now!
In fact, this is more straightforward, that is, "if you love to cooperate, you will cooperate, and if you don't cooperate, get out!" ”
All right......
In the face of such a tough Xie Minsheng and Chen Geng, the little devil who originally thought that Chen Geng was a bully was decisive: "OK, if you insist, we can also understand." ”
Chen Geng and Xie Minsheng quickly exchanged glances: It seems that the little devil is very obsessed with his dream of building a car, but he can use this to knock some good things out of the hands of the little devil.
"Look, how good is that? We have to understand each other," Chen Geng's aggressive expression on his face just now retracted, and in a blink of an eye, he turned into a smiling look: "Since this problem has been solved, let's continue the topic just now...... :”
…………………………………………
"What did you say?!"
Hiroshi Kawakami couldn't control himself anymore, and stood up excitedly, waiting for Yoshiichi Qishan to say: "Runhua Industry is willing to complete the OX99-11 project with us?" ”
"Yes, but ......"
"No," interrupted Kiyama Yoshiichi with a wave of his hand, Kawakami laughed: "As long as Runhua Industry is willing to complete this project with us, no matter what conditions he proposes, we will agree to him!"
"......" Kiyama Yoshiichi was dumbfounded: What is the situation? Why is the president so excited?
Of course, Hiroshi Kawakami will not tell Yoshiichi Saiyama that after the British IAD company officially canceled this cooperation project with Yamaha, and was rejected by Toyota and Honda successively, Yamaha's financial resources were no longer sustainable, and there were only two ways in front of Yamaha: either find a partner to complete the project, or abandon the project completely.
These two paths, to put it bluntly, are actually one path: either live or die!
For Hiroshi Kawakami, the president of Yamaha, the OX99-11 supercar project was something he insisted on working on, and if the project failed, it would be his prestige that would be lost and hit, but if the OX99-11 project could be mass-produced, he would be sure to completely eliminate the voices that opposed him within the company.
As the son of former president Genichi Kawakami, Yamaha Corporation has been complaining about Hiroshi Kawakami's succession as president, and opposition has always existed, and in order to establish his prestige, Hiroshi Kawakami has taken many ways to build the OX99-11 supercar based on the OX99 engine provided to the F1 team zakspeed company, and the plan to build the OX99-11 supercar is a counterattack from those who oppose him -- then again, the progress of the OX99-11 supercar project has not been smooth. Those voices within Yamaha who oppose Hiroshi Kawakami are also "indispensable".
Now seeing that the OX99-11 supercar project is about to yellow, Runhua Industry suddenly stretched out an olive branch, for Kawakami Hiroshi, the olive branch of Runhua Industry is the straw that saved his Kawakami Hiroshi, Kawakami Hiroshi naturally has to hold on tightly no matter what.
But this kind of secret within the company, how could Yoshiichi Qiyama know? Looking at the excited, almost crazy president, Kiyama Yoshiichi cautiously reminded, "But...... Your Excellency President, Chen Gengjun asked us to transfer all the technology of the OX99-11 to them, including the OX99 engine, the definition of this car was completed by the cooperation of the two parties, and the shape of the car was re-modified......"
Chen Geng wants an OX99 engine? Yoshiichi Qishan frowned, even if OX99 indirectly caused the zakspeed team to withdraw from F1, there is no doubt that the OX99 engine is also an F1 level engine, so it was transferred to Chen Geng?
"Give it to him!"
Hiroshi Kawakami gritted his teeth and said: "The shape of OX99 is indeed a bit ugly, and Chen Gengjun is an internationally renowned master of car styling design, if you want to design a new shape for OX99, I believe that only Chen Gengjun can do it." ”
“……”
Qishan Yoshiichi was speechless again: You have said everything, what else can I say?
Hiroshi Kawakami didn't care so much, he then asked: "In addition to this, what other cooperation is Chen Gengjun going to carry out with us?" ”
"Uh...... There are two more," Qishan Yoshiichi hurriedly cleaned up his mood and said: "One is that Chen Gengjun wants to develop a car with us, and he plans to use this car to participate in the world-class rally championship......"
"Similar to the LancerEvolution developed by Mitsubishi on the basis of the lancer for participation in the WRC?" Without waiting for Kiyama Yoshii to finish speaking, Hiroshi Kawakami immediately asked, his eyes widening.
Mitsubishi Motors is preparing to participate in the World Rally Championship, in order to meet the requirements of the WRC event for vehicles, Mitsubishi is developing an "evolutionary" lancer, Mitsubishi even has a good name for this car, it is called Mitsubishi lancerEvolution, which is no secret in the Japanese automotive industry, it is said that it has now entered the vehicle testing stage, is it that Runhua Industrial also intends to imitate Mitsubishi's "lancer model + limited sale of lancerEvolution models." "To develop a performance car, but also to develop such a car with Yamaha?
"Yes," Kiyama Yoshiichi hurriedly replied, "According to Chen Gengjun, they will give this car the suffix 'YAMAHA'." ”
WHAT IS YAMAHA'S SUFFIX?
It's like Mitsubishi lancerevolution changed its name to Mitsubishi lancerYAMAHA?
Hearing this news, Hiroshi Kawakami's expression turned hideous: "Such an important matter, why didn't you say it earlier?!" ”
"I ...... I ...... "Yoshiichi Akiyama couldn't understand why the president was so excited?" Subconsciously took a step back: "I was about to say ......"
Yoshiichi Saiyama, who was full of anxiety and thought that he had angered the president, was lowering his head and preparing to meet the president's storm, but he couldn't help but hear a burst of laughter: "Hahahahaha......"
The taste of wanton indulgence in the laughter made Qishan Yoshiichi raise his head violently: What's the situation?
"Qishan-kun, you have made meritorious service!" Kawakami laughed and patted Yoshiichi Chiyama on the shoulder: "I'm going to give you a promotion!" I'll make you the head of the commercial headquarters, hahahaha......"
Kiyama Yoshiichi breathed a sigh of relief, and he immediately realized that he was afraid that among the tasks he had completed, this one was the most satisfactory to the president, otherwise he would not even say such a thing as a promotion. But no matter what, it's a good thing, and Qi Shan Yoshishi hurriedly said: "Thank you, Your Excellency President, ......"
"No thanks, you deserve it," Kawakami waved his hand: "What other terms of cooperation did Chen Gengjun propose, you can say it." ”
"Okay." Yoshiichi Qiyama nodded hurriedly, shaking out all the results of his previous communication with Runhua Industry: Yamaha's series of plans to assist Runhua Industry in developing diesel engines for passenger cars, and Yamaha's series plans to assist Runhua Industry in developing and improving gasoline engines for passenger cars......
"No problem, we can all say yes!" After Qishan Yoshiichi finished speaking, Koichi Kawakami waved his hand: "As long as Runhua Industry pays, these are not problems - Kawakami-kun, you immediately help me contact Chen Jun and say that I hope to be able to personally discuss the cooperation between the two sides with him." ”
"Hey!" Qishan Yoshiichi responded, and only then cautiously reminded Hiroshi Kawakami: "But there is ...... in the society"
"That's my problem, you don't have to worry about it!" Without waiting for Yoshiichi to finish speaking, Hiroshi Kawakami savagely interrupted Yoshiichi Chiyama's words: "I'll solve these troubles!" ”
…………………………………………
"Yamaha reacts so quickly?" Hung up the phone, Chen Geng was a little surprised, Yamaha's reaction speed exceeded Chen Geng's imagination, Qishan Yiichi has only been back for a few days? Calculating the time, isn't it equivalent to Hiroshi Kawakami as soon as Yoshiichi Akiyama made a report, and Hiroshi Kawakami reacted?
That's too fast, isn't it?
Touching his chin, Chen Geng smacked his lips, a little regretful: "It seems that the conditions I gave were too kind?" ”
If it weren't for the conditions he gave were too kind, how could Yamaha's response be so fast? But...... No matter what, the opportunity is rare, don't think about the question of suffering so much or taking advantage, it's only serious to eat the meat in your mouth quickly, as for the rest, how can you manage so much?
