Chapter 421: Compromise?
Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass!
"Why am I mentioning this car to you? Nick, you have to make it clear that this car is not within the scope of our cooperation, and we at Huayang Power are not your GM subsidiary, and we don't need to report any new car to anyone. ”
Although Nick. Reilly's threats were useful, but Jin Xiaoqiang still had no intention of compromising with him.
Nick. Reilly is an old oil field in the shopping mall, once he shows a trace of weakness at this time, this guy will immediately put further pressure on himself to strive for more interests for himself, which is very unfavorable to the next negotiations.
So of course, Jin Xiaoqiang chose to continue to be tough at this time, and being tough is his consistent style.
Nick. When Reilly heard Jin Xiaoqiang's answer, he also felt a little headache, it is true that people's Thunderbird company has made a lot of money, but it is also operated legally, and there is no violation.
And the Thunderbird before him threatened him was just like taking advantage of Jin Xiaoqiang's low-key and Chinese favorite characteristics of wealth not revealing to blackmail him.
If he doesn't eat this, then the next negotiation will be very difficult, he will not have any bargaining chips in his hands, and he must be careful not to anger the guy in front of him.
After all, in the eyes of a successful businessman, tearing the skin with the partner is the worst result.
"Hehe, Mr. Jin, I think you misunderstood what I meant, I mean, since you Huayang Power and our GM are partners, why can't we be open and honest? You also know that our previous attitude towards Huayang Power has always been to support you, but why can't we choose to cooperate when you have better models? ”
The old guy immediately adjusted his attitude, and as soon as he saw that the aggressive high-pressure situation was not good, he immediately changed. The wind has changed to a consultative tone, and this Tai Chi kung fu is no worse than that of the Celestial Empire.
Jin Xiaoqiang didn't want to tear his face with GM so early, so he didn't continue to maintain his strong style, so his attitude eased.
"Mr. Reilly, please note that we only chose to cooperate with GM on Qoros models before, but we did not merge Huayang Power into GM, so we have our freedom in the development of any new car, and any new car announced on the market, of course, if there is a suitable project, we can still choose to continue to cooperate."
Although his attitude has eased a lot, Jin Xiaoqiang is not relieved at all in terms of this K series model, he is not a fool, this car will definitely become a gold mine in the future, and then give up half of the profits of this gold mine, such a thing, but only a fool will do.
GM is now in the integration of resources, will be in the domestic sight, a wide range of international investment, if they get this K series of cooperation opportunities, then it will undoubtedly bring a lot of benefits to GM, such an enemy behavior, Jin Xiaoqiang is irrelevant.
After all, he knew that if GM continued like this, it would face the point of filing for bankruptcy protection in a few years, and he didn't want to help them avoid such an outcome.
On the contrary, he also planned to take advantage of their bankruptcy to step on them a few times when they filed for bankruptcy and bankruptcy, and the reason why he chose to cooperate with them before was also a last resort.
Now that Huayang Power has a good momentum of development, it is completely possible to do things without looking at their faces, so Jin Xiaoqiang has no intention of continuing to give them a good face.
"Forehead...... So, Misterkin, do you think we'll have a chance to work together on this K-series? ”…,
Nick changed his tone and asked Jin Xiaoqiang.
"It's not possible, and we don't have any plans to work with any company to produce our K-series at the moment."
Lao Tzu is not a company like Mazda, the shares are held by you Americans, and we are also not like Nissan, which has so many non-performing assets.
I don't need to look at the faces of you Americans.
Therefore, Jin Xiaoqiang's answer can be said to be categorical, directly letting Nick on the other side. Reilly has turned into a black-faced god, and this guy is still as tough as ever.
"Don't talk too much about Jin Xian's life, you must know that in the world of automobiles, competition is everywhere, a company, it is difficult to resist, and the competition and siege of many other companies, but if you choose the right partner, then such risks and pressures will be much smaller."
Nick. Reilly said to Jin Xiaoqiang in words, although he didn't directly make it clear, but the meaning of the warning was already very clear.
You'd better know each other obediently, or you'll offend us, and you'll have a good look at it then.
"Oh, yes! The current competition in the automobile market is too fierce, and there are too many competitors, and many of them are quite strong opponents. However, in this world, there are only eternal interests, there are no eternal enemies, many times, everyone was still alive and die a few minutes ago, but maybe after a few minutes, they can become good friends who drink together. ”
Jin Xiaoqiang also fought back, his meaning is also very clear, the east is not bright, the west is bright, don't think that you are the only car company in the world that can cooperate with us.
You don't want to take us to play, so there are a lot of people who want to play with us now.
It's a big deal that everyone breaks up and sees who has more serious losses at that time.
As soon as Nick Koureli heard Jin Xiaoqiang say this, his face suddenly changed, but the people of the public had just come into contact with Jin Xiaoqiang and them yesterday, and after the people of the public left, Jin Xiaoqiang and his gang also opened champagne in this conference room, and he also gave these negotiators a holiday.
The devil knows what agreement they reached, in case Jin Xiaoqiang is completely upside down by then, then wouldn't this be a strong opponent for GM?
If at this time, if the force is too strong and completely tears the skin with Huayang Power, then Jin Xiaoqiang can choose to cooperate with the bulk of the whole thing.
At that time, it is not only General Motors that will suffer, but also themselves, who must know that they can become the president of North America, but they all rely on the right step of cooperating with Huayang Power, which has brought huge profits to the company.
If Huayang Power terminates the cooperation and hands over the Qoros project to the public, then they can only cry on their side, and those directors who laughed and called brothers and sisters with them a few days ago may be able to tear themselves to pieces in the blink of an eye, and then sweep themselves into the trash.
Nick. The more Reilly thought about it, the more he felt that the prospect of this negotiation was slim, and the situation was not good, because he suddenly realized that he had a pitiful amount of bargaining chips.
It is no wonder that Americans have always been arrogant, they are more selfish by nature, they like to do everything from their own point of view, and they don't care too much about the feelings of other people, or even other countries.
The great power mentality that Americans have cultivated over the years, and the self-centered way of life, have made Nick. When Reilly came, he didn't think about it from the perspective of Huayang Power, and he never had the habit of mentioning other people's considerations.
In their opinion, choosing to cooperate with you is already very face-saving for you, and taking something from you is not a natural thing? …,
But just now Jin Xiaoqiang's words suddenly made Nick. Reilly understands that in the automotive world, although they are the boss, they are not the only one.
Below them, there are Toyota and Volkswagen, which are eyeing each other, these two companies may not be as large as GM in terms of the scale of total assets, but the scale of their non-performing assets and burdens is also not as large as GM.
In case his side forces Jin Xiaoqiang to be annoyed and directly switches to the arms of Volkswagen or Toyota, it will really outweigh the losses.
"Is there really no possibility of cooperation?"
Nick tried to salvage the situation, but he came in a hurry, just for this K-series, and if he returned empty-handed, it would really hit him too hard.
"No way, Mr. Reilly, I want to ask if you gave us any support when we were developing the K-Series? Whether it's funding, or technical support, or human resources? No, this series of models, but my team and I built it one by one. The same is true of Qoros before, but you have to cooperate, so we chose which series to cooperate with, but this does not mean that we have no bottom line, we are willing to cooperate with you in any model, what this K series means, I think you should know better than us. ”
The reason why we cooperated with Tongshu on Qoros models was to enter the U.S. market, gain a firm foothold in the U.S. market, and open up sales.
Now that they have successfully entered the U.S. market and have achieved certain results, there is no need for them to choose and cooperate with GM as before.
"Okay, Mr. Jin, we know what you mean, then now we will formally propose a cooperation agreement to you, including any model developed by your Huayang Power in the future, and we can provide you with a full range of services, whether it is from the capital, or from the technology, or from the human resources, as long as you have needs, and within our capabilities, there is no problem."
Nick said such a thing, it was simply a compromise, but although he looked very happy like this, this guy was still digging a hole for Jin Xiaoqiang...... )
