Jin Xiaoqiang's words made Mark feel very strange, when they first met last year, the president was very interested in several branches of Ford.

     For example, Volvo, such as Land Rover, Jaguar, and Mazda He was very interested, and he remembered it very clearly at the time, and he seemed to be most interested in that Mazda.

    But why is this changing taste again now, and I don't like Mazda? It's really strange, but after all, people are bosses, and what people say, they can do well.

    Mark received Jin Xiaoqiang's instructions and went in a daze, and Jin Xiaoqiang looked at Mark's back when he went out, and he could only be secretly depressed.

    Nick also saw that something was wrong, last year when Jin Xiaoqiang and Mark were talking, he was also present, when Jin Xiaoqiang was interested in several brands in Ford's hands, he also remembered it vividly, but now in a blink of an eye he has changed his tone again, which is really strange enough.

    But people are the bosses, and people can do whatever they want, since he is not interested in a few brands in the hands of Ford, then GM still has some decent things in his hands, I don't know if he is interested.

    "Boss, someone from GM has contacted me, it is said that they are like selling Saab in their hands, as well as Opel, I don't know if you are interested?" ”

     Last year, after his front-line bridge, Huayang Power and GM hooked up in the purchase and sale of car brands, and Huayang Power took over GM's Suzuki and part of Daewoo's shares.

    But GM's life is still not good this year, so GM still wants to get rid of some brands. For example, the two European goods in their hands, one is Saab and the other is Opel.

    Needless to say, Saab was also a famous Swedish car back then. It was the first brand to use turbochargers in the automotive field, but over the years, especially after being acquired by General Motors. It's hard to be played miserably by GM.

    Especially in recent years, GM's Tonghe platform policy, which has become popular in recent years, is actually to develop a platform with the strongest overall adaptability, and then play facelift surgery routines all over the world.

      in the world to hang different product logos, and then to sell, which suddenly made a lot of consumers who originally liked personality lose interest in GM's products, you do this, it is better to simply put these so-called new cars on the GM logo, why bother to put these cars on other car logos?

     There are two brands under the umbrella of GM Europe, Opel and Saab. In addition, GM's own cars are also sold in Europe, which often results in three different types of leather cars being sold on the market at the same time.

     The exterior is different, the logo is different, but the internal configuration is not different, from the engine and transmission powertrain, to the interior and console of the car. There is almost no difference, which makes it acceptable to consumers.

    And no matter how these cars are skinned, there is a common problem, that is, the fuel consumption of the GM brand that can never be reduced, so over the years. After so many tosses, Sabo, who was originally alive and kicking, has been tossed by General Motors with great strength, and now there are only three points left to take a breath.

    As for Opel, it is needless to say, under the strong encirclement and suppression of the three major brands in Germany, it can only be described as surviving, and it has basically been losing money year after year for more than ten years, who would dare to take over such a business?

    Anyway, Jin Xiaoqiang didn't dare.

     "Forget it, Nick, you know the current state of the company, we can't expand too much, GM's Saab and Opel, we really don't need it at the moment." ”

    Nick also expressed understanding, nodded without saying anything, and went out, leaving Jin Xiaoqiang alone to sit and ponder.

    Saab and Opel, are not in good condition now, and they really don't have any of their favorite technology in their hands, if other domestic car companies, want to buy these two companies, in fact, it is also for their transmission, as well as chassis technology, as for the engine, there is nothing to say, and now the engine of Huayang Power is far worse.

    So the cards in GM's hands, Jin Xiaoqiang really can't look at them, and now looking at the brands in the hands of these American car companies, in fact, the Land Rover and Mazda in the hands of Ford He can see it.

    Land Rover needless to say, this brand no matter how it is bought abroad, but it is always a bestseller in China, no matter how expensive his price is, even if it is several times more expensive than the products of the same period abroad, he is still very popular in China.

    Although the domestic automobile consumption environment has been much better than before, but the heart of buying luxury cars to save face is almost deep-rooted in the Chinese people, and an ordinary means of transportation has been given another special meaning in the eyes of the Chinese people.

    And Land Rover's early fame, for Chinese consumers, especially rich consumers are very critical, although the price of Land Rover is always not, but in the country he is the more expensive the better to sell.

    Think about it in the last life, after the country's 4 trillion bailout, there are more and more rich people on the market, and Land Rover is also more and more on the road.

    How did the Tata Group survive after taking over Land Rover, and it didn't rely on the Celestial Empire market? Such a good thing in this life, don't think about those Indian Ah San.

    There is also the brand Mazda, this brand is now a pity to give up, in fact, the brand in Ford's hands, Jin Xiaoqiang admires this Mazda the most.

    Mature chassis technology, as well as the tuning skills of the powertrain, as well as several of its classic products, make this brand full of confidence.

    But because of Ford's seven and eight things, this company has been hurt, in the early years by relying on their fist product Mazda6, they made a lot of money.

    However, because of Ford's own poor management, it is losing money almost every year, so it has to draw a lot of money from Mazda, so that the company lags behind a lot in the research and development of new products, so the upgrading of products is naturally slowed down.

     Mazda has been in decline in the past two years, and has been dragged down by Ford for two consecutive years of losses, and it seems that life is not much better, and this time is a very good time to acquire.

    Unfortunately, considering the discordant relationship between the Celestial Empire and Japan in the future, Jin Xiaoqiang really did not dare to make this determination, and the domestic automobile market in Japan is basically dominated by the traditional three powers, especially Toyota, which is almost a dominant trend.

    After he took over Suzuki from GM, Suzuki's sales in Japan have not been ideal, originally he introduced some Huayang Power's technology into Suzuki, but considering the complex national sentiment in Japan, Jin Xiaoqiang can only wait and see.

    Fortunately, Suzuki is still competitive, and its performance in Japan is average, but it is very good to buy in the Celestial Empire, especially their newly launched Swift, and Tianyu, are bought well, the car is small, the price is cheap, and the technology is in place than the car of the same level, so it is still a small market.

    And in Southeast Asia and Oceania, Suzuki's sales are also good, after Naruto Shenxing's training, this company finally stopped losing money, although the profit margin is not large, but finally no loss, which makes Jin Xiaoqiang is relieved.

    However, although Suzuki's performance is average, Daewoo, which is associated with him, has performed well in South Korea, especially after basically giving up the family car market, specializing in the light truck market and the bus market, Daewoo, whose sales in South Korea have risen and performed well.

    Suzuki, as one of Daewoo's largest shareholders, has also made a lot of money by relying on Daewoo's strong performance in the Korean market.

    However, Jin Xiaoqiang still feels a bit general about the current situation of these two companies, and he still needs to work hard, but now is not the time to move these two companies, so he can only wait for a while to see.

     Mark, who went to Detroit, quickly sent back the news, and this time Ford had no obstacles in mind about selling these brands in his hands, and Mark was just with his original boss Bill. Ford said hello, but he was warmly welcomed by Bill, and he didn't mean to embarrass him at all.

    From Bill's enthusiastic attitude, Mark can see that Ford is eager to get rid of a few packages, and it seems that Ford has also been very badly hit in this financial crisis.

    Mark and Ford's current head, Bill. Ford made some contact, and then there was an exchange of intentions, and soon Ford got the confirmed news, if Huayang Power intends to take over, then Ford is also willing to sell several brands in its hands, none of which is non-negotiable.

    From Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar, to Mazda, any one can be negotiated, Bill. The reason why Ford agreed so happily was because after a long period of pain, they had already formulated a plan for the future, and the core of the future plan was the slogan 'oneford!' ’

    There is only one Ford, no other brands, in fact, this kind of integration is also very good, can save a lot of resources for the company, if you can, Jin Xiaoqiang is not willing to buy these messy flat brands, but now because of some special national conditions of the Celestial Empire, these brands are not collectible.

    Ford's answer is very simple, you can buy whatever you want, Volvo 8 billion, Land Rover Jaguar together 3 billion, Mazda 5 billion.

     Jin Xiaoqiang was directly angry when he heard this price, when is it so special, are you still hypocritical with me? If you don't have that sincerity, then we don't need to talk about it......
