Chapter 205: A Threat from General Motors [One More Requests for a Monthly Pass]
Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription!
Sure enough, they want to cooperate, and this general person still reacts quite quickly? As soon as this company came up, they came to the door!
Want to work together? That's easy to do, then it depends on how much sincerity and benefits you can come up with, otherwise don't talk about it, Jin Xiaoqiang thought to himself in his stomach, and then asked Nick directly.
"Mr. Nick, you want to cooperate, I want to know, what do you want to cooperate with our Huayang Power? Is there any general direction? ”
We must be cautious when cooperating with the Americans, most of these guys are guys who eat people and don't spit out bones, and many companies that cooperate with the Americans have been cheated by American companies.
The most famous cooperation in the automotive field is, of course, the cooperation between Daimler and Chrysler, but who doesn't know that the cooperation in the past few years alone has made Mercedes-Benz throw billions or even tens of billions of resources on Chrysler in vain?
In the end, Mercedes-Benz couldn't stand the Americans' extensive work style and low work efficiency, and finally had to choose to break up with Chrysler.
Now that GM has found his side again, and wants to talk about cooperation, then he really has to think carefully about it, otherwise he may really be cheated by these guys for a lot of money, and if he loses his wife and soldiers, it will be more than worth the loss.
Nick saw that Jin Xiaoqiang was not ambiguous, and actually went straight to the point, so he took out the belly plan that had been discussed within the company's senior management and said to Jin Xiaoqiang.
"Mr. Jin, the new concept car exhibited by Huayang Power at the Frankfurt Motor Show, as well as the powertrain of the EcoBoost engine + Powershift that will be equipped on this car, we are very interested in GM, so we want to cooperate with you on this new car series launched by Huayang Power."
The old guy's eyes are really poisonous, Jin Xiaoqiang couldn't help but be secretly happy in his stomach after hearing it.
The Qoros car series he developed, currently only Qoros 6 and Qoros 8, which corresponds to the new LaCrosse and the new Regal launched by GM in the future, the models are all from the Insignia models developed by Opel in 07, but in terms of content, especially the powertrain, he intends to carry the powertrain developed by Ford in 08.
In this way, he integrated two classics developed by later generations of American car dealers, an inner and an external thing.
It's not the 2010s, it's only 04, so it's a good thing to take out something like this, of course, no wonder people from General Motors come to the door so quickly, does this mean that they are still very tasteful?
"Well, is that so?"
Jin Xiaoqiang deliberately made a very embarrassed look, thought for a while, and did not rush to answer Nick's words, negotiating, of course, to arouse the other party's appetite, anyway, it is not himself who is in a hurry.
"Mr. Reilly, how do you want to cooperate, can you give me some details about your conditions and specifics? I'll think about it. ”
Jin Xiaoqiang further probed.
Nick. Reilly and Carl beside him. Stark quietly glanced at each other and exchanged glances, and then turned his head to Jin Xiaoqiang and said.
"That's right, after Huayang Power brought the Qoros series of concept cars to the Frankfurt Motor Show two days ago, the senior management of our GM Group is unanimously optimistic about this model of Huayang Power. But as far as we know at present, Huayang Power is just a company that has just been born for a long time, although there is a genius like Mr. Jin in research and development, but in the company's sales and management, I think Huayang Power must still have some deficiencies, and we are general in this regard, can be said to be the leader in the industry. ”
Nick said a lot of things, in fact, the words are nothing more than that, you Huayang Power does have the ability to innovate, but we have sales channels.
"Mr. Jin, as you know, North America and Europe are the two largest mature car sales markets in the world, and it is quite difficult to enter such markets. In particular, your Huayang Power is an automobile company from the Celestial Empire, please forgive me for being frank, although the car and the Korean car have been successful in North America and Europe, but the car from the Celestial Empire wants to succeed in these two places, it is not so easy, even if your car is good, and then there is technical content. Because doing this kind of business often involves not only the issue of free trade, but also many aspects to consider, such as politics! But if Huayang Power cooperates with GM, then these will not be a problem, we can easily let Huayang Power's products enter the market in the United States and Europe, I say this, Mr. Jin, you will not disagree! ”
Nick. Reilly's words were very direct and strong, although Jin Xiaoqiang was a little uncomfortable listening to it, but he couldn't disagree with Nick. Reilly's statement.
This is also the main reason why their products of Huayang Power have not entered the US market for a long time.
In addition to some historical problems, there are also European and American discrimination factors against the high-tech products of the Celestial Empire, political factors are also a major problem that Huayang Power has to face.
It is said that the car and the Korean car are very good to buy in the United States, and they are also good in Europe, but there is a very important factor in this, that is, the political system of the book and South Korea is similar to that of Europe and the United States, and these two countries, fundamentally speaking, are the lackeys of the United States, so people will not be too wary of them, and even if they have, they can be solved by some means.
However, the Celestial Empire is different, and it can be said that the political status of the Celestial Empire is very isolated in the international community, and although the United States and Europe are in harmony with the Celestial Empire on the surface, they regard the Celestial Empire as their greatest enemy in their bones.
And Russia will only find the Celestial Empire when it is in need and pull the Celestial Empire to act as a political thug.
Imagine that if Huayang Power enters the U.S. market, it can quickly occupy the market and defeat competitors by virtue of its price advantage with far lower production costs than automobile companies in Europe and the United States.
But will the Europeans and Americans watch the Celestial Empire do this?
At that time, it was said that the car was successful in the American market with low prices, but what did the Americans do later? They directly put pressure on Yue Benzheng to adjust the exchange rate, and finally took back the money he earned from other places.
In the end, Toyota and Honda had no choice but to open many factories in the United States and directly produce cars in the United States, in order to provide employment opportunities for Americans, and then let the American political axe loosen.
And Huayang Power currently has no idea of opening a factory in the United States, so this is another difficult problem!
Moreover, the means of forcing a country's currency to completely open up and appreciate will not be so good for the Celestial Empire, and it is impossible for the Celestial Empire to obey the demands of the United States like the political axe of the Celestial Empire, and the Americans are well aware of this.
Therefore, they will definitely put pressure on Huayang Power's products in all aspects, and do not let you easily enter the US market, which is also the main reason why Huayang Power has not been able to enter the US market after several negotiations.
And even if people let you in now, as long as your products sell well and steal the market of most American companies and the jobs of other workers, will the Americans still be able to sit idly by?
When the time comes, people can easily unite and smash your job, without too many conspiracies and tricks, directly give you an anti-dumping investigation, and you will be finished.
Think about it in later generations, there are so many large tire companies in the Celestial Empire, as well as automotive glass manufacturers, which have not been investigated by the US political axe?
As soon as people investigate, you can't recover your hundreds of millions of capital, and the products you produce can only be fined by people by a few hundred percent of tariffs, so if you pay the fine, you can't get back the cost at all, so those companies can only watch with their eyes as their products worth hundreds of millions of dollars are confiscated and taken away by the Americans.
Jin Xiaoqiang doesn't want to follow such an old path, and Nick. Reilly is also very aware of this, so he is making a fuss in this regard, he wants to obtain the right to cooperate with Huayang Power, but he doesn't want to pay too much, so he can only put pressure on Huayang Power in this regard!
If they can obtain the right to cooperate with the products of Huayang Power, then they will have one less competitor in the market and one more money-making weapon.
If Huayang Power does not agree, it will be easy to do, as long as GM exerts a little pressure on the political axe of the United States, his Huayang Power products, don't want to buy them in the United States.
Hum! As long as the United States takes the lead, then I believe that other countries in Europe will follow suit, and then your Huayang Power products can only be finished in your own home!
So it's true that GM wants to cooperate, but they come with a strong attitude, they don't want to pay too much!
Jin Xiaoqiang pondered for a while, and then asked Nick again. Reilly to.
"Well, I admit that what you said makes sense, Mr. Reilly, so what are the terms of your cooperation this time? Can you tell me more about that? ”
Seeing that Jin Xiaoqiang didn't react too violently, and continued to ask about the cooperation, Nick was also happy to see the hunt, fortunately, this Celestial Dynasty man is still acquainted.
"In fact, our conditions are also very simple, that is, we want Huayang Power's Qoros to cooperate with several of our brands, you Huayang Power can provide prototype machines, and then we can set up new factories in Bochum, Germany and Canada in North America, directly produce the original car locally, and then sell it locally, do you think this production plan is reasonable?"
I saw that Jin Xiaoqiang knew each other very well, Nick. Reilly put on a very humble attitude again.
