Chapter 875 A good hand, the more you play, the worse it gets.
In May, while other students were busy preparing their graduation theses, Yang Fan went to Italy again!
Fiat basically agreed to Yang Fan's proposal......
As long as the Fiat brand can exceed 200,000 sales in China within five years, Maserati can change hands to Qihang. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, this is also the reason why Fiat's life is becoming more and more difficult now, Fiat was once the pearl of the country of Italy, and in eight or nine years, its sales in Europe surpassed that of Volkswagen, becoming the first car company in Europe. However, at that time, General Motors and Ford in the United States were the largest car companies in the world.
In the nineties, Fiat's life became more and more difficult, especially in the last two years, the older generation of the Agnelli family, Giani and Umberto, passed away one after another.
Before the death of the two older generations, the better successors had almost withered, such as Alberto, who rose to prominence very early, and died of cancer in 97. Jani's eldest son, Eduardo, also committed suicide in Year 00.
Now, the Agnelli family is extremely chaotic, and there is no successor who can convince the public, which undoubtedly makes Fiat's situation worse.
Coupled with the fact that Italy began to fall into economic recession, the former seven sisters of Serie A were all bankrupt and bankrupt, and the decline of decline left the traditional top three......
In this case, Fiat, which is based in Italy, has internal and external troubles, and the days can be imagined.
The offer to set sail was undoubtedly very tempting.
As soon as Yang Fan got off the plane, Zhang Xiao and Bai Meng, a pair of beautiful women, greeted them, they had participated in Milan Fashion Week before, and by the way, they went to help Qihang Automobile set up the Turin laboratory, and when Liu Qingfeng left Turin and returned to China, they shouldered the responsibility of communicating with Fiat.
"Miss me!"
Zhang Xiao first offered a warm hug.
Bai Meng also came with a hug, but in his ear he said something serious, "John Elkan wants to meet you." ”
Yang Fan remained silent and said in a low voice, "John Elkan? ”
Bai Meng nodded slightly.
Of course, Yang Fan knew that John Elkann was the newly appointed chairman of Fiat and the grandson of Gianiagelli. It's not going to be easy within the Fiat Group right now.
First of all, he was not trained as a successor in the first place, starting with Eduardo and Alberto. In addition, he is too young, John Elkan, who was born in 76, is only 27 years old, which makes many old people in the group quite unconvinced, and even Ferrari does not dump him at all.
This is different from the situation of setting sail established by Yang Fan!
Besides, although there is such a big difference between grandchildren and grandchildren in foreign countries as in China, the Agnelli family still has several descendants, and it is inevitable that they are a little unconvinced.
This complicates Fiat's situation.
Yang Fan nodded and agreed, "Yes, arrange it as soon as possible." ”
John Elkan had just taken office, and he was in a very bad situation, not to mention that he strongly advocated cooperation with Qihang. Let's just say that the worse his situation is, the more eager he is to open up the situation, and the more opportunities Qihang can take advantage of.
Otherwise, when he has a firm foothold and confidence, he will not be so easy to speak.
After Yang Fan agreed, Bai Meng went to make arrangements, and that night, he met John Elkan at the hotel, which showed his urgency.
John Elkan was young, and his face was not the knife-cut lines of handsome Italian guys, but rather somewhat rounded, with brown curly hair, a pointed nose, a large forehead, and Jewish blood.
Looking at the person in front of him, Yang Fan was quite envious.
Look at people, I played for more than 20 years, and as soon as I graduated from college, I took over a group as big as Fiat. These chaebols for the second, third, fourth, and fifth generations do not need to struggle at all, which is really happy.
When Yang Fan looked at John Elkan, John Elkan was also looking at Yang Fan.
Seriously, John Elkan is still very envious of this young man who is younger than himself and the controller of a large group, he is not a successor, but a self-made man, but he doesn't have so much bullshit on himself.
The two of them had their own thoughts, and after greeting each other, they began to talk in English.
After a few words of greeting, Yang Fan said, "Qihang is very confident in helping Fiat open the Chinese market, but I don't know if Erkan can make decisions on behalf of Fiat?" ”
Hearing this, John Elkanh suddenly became depressed, and Yang Fan immediately showed his aggressive attitude.
As the highest level of Fiat, Yang Fan actually doubted whether he could make decisions on behalf of Fiat.
It is true that he has a lot of constraints in the Fiat Group, but it is not very friendly to negotiate to say it so directly...... But from this point, you can also see the strength of this guy.
However, John Elkann is understandable, at a young age, starting from scratch, to build such a large company, which enjoys an international reputation, it is inevitable to be stronger.
Thinking about it, John Elkann did not show weakness at all, "Sailing is not to help Fiat open the market, but to cooperate, and everyone takes what they need." ”
Yang Fan shrugged his shoulders, "Actually, Fiat needs the Chinese market more, or rather, Mr. Elkann needs to help Fiat open the Chinese market in order to prove his ability and stop those old guys......"
Fiat entered the Chinese market very early, but the dividends of the continuous explosion of the Chinese auto market in the past two years have been eaten by Volkswagen, followed by Honda and GM.
Fiat's business in China has bucked the trend and declined.
It's really embarrassing to say, others are growing against the trend, replaced by Fiat, which obviously occupies a good position in China, but in the development of the auto market, it continues to decline. This undoubtedly aggravated the crisis for Fiat, which was also dissatisfied with Ningqi, which cooperated in China.
Seeing that Yang Fan said it so bluntly, and Bai Meng on the side, Zhang Xiao rolled his eyes, is this here to negotiate, or is it choking gunpowder?
Yang Fan saw the expressions of the two, and smiled in his heart, in the shopping mall, the two were still a little tender.
When John Elkan is not good, he does not show his own strength, so that John Elkann understands that Qihang understands his hole cards very well, and how to dig up the benefits later.
John Elkann was depressed again, and there was no doubt that Yang Fan was in his situation.
He needed to open up the situation quickly in order to establish himself in Fiat and cooperate with a powertrain plant, which was completely insufficient.
Looking at the momentum of China's economy in the past two years, everyone understands that the outbreak of China's auto market has just begun, and it is undoubtedly the best breakthrough. At this time, in the Chinese market, the myth has been repeatedly created, and the Qihang station with rich resources can help Fiat open the market, which is of great benefit to him.
The price paid by Fiat is just a chicken rib Maserati,
Even if it fails, Fiat will not lose anything, no matter how bad it is, it will not be worse than cooperating with Ningqi.
Truth be told, John Elkan did lose faith in his partner in China, Ningqi.
It's a good hand, and the more you play, the worse it gets.
