Early the next morning, when Jin Xiaoqiang was still asleep, he was awakened by a knock on the door.

He got down to the ground and opened the door, and saw Liu Mei standing in the doorway.

"Universal Nick. Reilly is coming. ”

Liu Mei looked at Jin Xiaoqiang with a smile and said, Jin Xiaoqiang was still wearing pajamas at this time, with a chicken nest on his head.

"What time is it? Nick. Is this old guy Reilly crazy? ”

Jin Xiaoqiang yawned nonchalantly, and then said a little lazily.

"It's past nine o'clock in the morning, not early."

Liu Mei raised her wrist, looked at her watch, and then said to Jin Xiaoqiang with a smile.

Jin Xiaoqiang raised his head and glanced at the wall clock, sure enough, it was already past nine o'clock, and after arranging everything yesterday, he himself was pulled out by Klaus who came from Germany.

Paris is the city's petty bourgeoisie, full of eighteenth-century architecture, and the French are best at romantic atmosphere, as a result, Klaus took Jin Xiaoqiang and Liu Mei to have a good taste of Paris.

This playboy, when he was young, came to Paris countless times, and still retains the habit of coming once or twice a year.

With him as the guide, of course, Jin Xiaoqiang and Liu Mei were eating, drinking, and having fun in Paris last night, Liu Mei was not good, that was because she didn't drink, but Jin Xiaoqiang was pulled by Klaus and poured a lot of wine.

So Jin Xiaoqiang overslept this morning, but Liu Mei didn't do much.

"Let him wait, I'll go take a shower and have breakfast.

Jin Xiaoqiang said to Liu Mei with a smile, and Liu Mei could only smile helplessly at Jin Xiaoqiang after hearing it, and then said.

"If you dare to put GM's high-level management aside like this, maybe only you crazy can do it."

"Hehe, that's, otherwise how can you take a fancy to me!"

Jin Xiaoqiang suddenly stretched out his claws, and Liu Mei, who wiped a handful of anger on the surging peak of Liu Mei, turned red, and before he could reach out and twist the guy, this guy had already closed the door and sang I love to take a bath.

Liu Mei could only frown and snort lightly, and then left Jin Xiaoqiang's room with a twist, but it could be seen from her graceful posture that she was still in a very good mood. Mouth......

It was already half past ten when Jin Xiaoqiang appeared in the conference room, Nick. Reilly and the team he brought with him were very unsightly at this time.

Nick. Reilly had been transferred back to North America by GM to serve as the president of North America, so although GM participated in the Paris Motor Show this time, it was not led by him but by the new president of Europe.

But after the auto show started, Nick. Reilly's main concern is not their GM's performance at the auto show, but his main concern is precisely Huayang Power.

The reason why he was able to return to North America as the president of GM North America was entirely because he had done a very good job in cooperating with Huayang Power before, which was recognized by the company's board of directors.

And not long ago in the United States, he communicated with Jin Xiaoqiang, and he mentioned to Jin Xiaoqiang that the two large SUVs and pickup trucks he designed were very concerned.

In the car market of other countries, there may be such a criterion as the six-popular rule, that is, the mid-size car is the best in the world, but in the United States, this general rule does not apply at all.

In the United States, it is the pickup truck and SUV model that wins the world.

Now in this year, the king of the pickup truck market in the United States belongs to Ford, and Ford has monopolized the title of pickup truck sales champion in North America for decades. …,

And in the SUV market, it was originally very popular, and the Dodge Overlord SUV, the favorite of U.S. government personnel, that everyone can often see in various American movies, has also declined in sales in recent years.

There is no such domineering spirit that swept the entire North American SUV field in the eighties and nineties of the last century, and now Ford's explorer, as well as Lexus, and some large SUVs of Toyota are quietly seizing the market, while GM has always been lacking in skills.

At this stage, they are integrating global resources and promoting their modular design, but in terms of the development of new models, they have always had some confusion that they can't solve.

Of course, this is not to blame others, but only to blame themselves for being too greedy, and in the decades after the war, GM can be said to have carried out a large-scale expansion on a global scale.

They have successively annexed Sweden's Saab, Australia's Horton, and even South Korea's Daewoo, and have also carried out considerable brand expansion in their own countries, Saturn, Odsmoreby, Vauxhall, Hummer and other brands have also been recruited by them.

This kind of whale swallowing expansion, if it is really in the era of very good economic environment, of course, is understandable, because at that time, no matter what kind of garbage they produce, they can sell it.

But this is no longer the case, especially in an era when their brands are becoming more and more complex, and the external competition is becoming more and more fierce.

Especially after entering the year 2000, although GM is still superficial and still holds the position of the world's leading automobile manufacturing industry, they are aware of their own suffering.

Although there are many best-selling models every year, making profits for GM, there are many of its companies that are losing money year after year, and they can only drag the group's hind legs and rely on the group's annual appropriation to barely maintain their operations.

They know that now they have fallen into the stage of eating and eating, severe indigestion.

At present, in the medium-sized family car manufacturers such as General Motors, Saturn, Pontiac, and Oldsmoreby, in the market of medium-sized family cars, they are beaten by the Japanese and lose face.

Although it is about to be adjusted, it still can't recover the decline, and no matter how you look at it, it will make people angry.

And Buick was even beaten, almost disappeared from the American mid-level family sedan market, and could only survive on the low-end price in the Celestial Empire.

Originally, Buick could still rely on their Regal and LaCrosse to return to the light, and later strengthened GM's determination to reshape the brand, but now these two models have been snatched away by Huayang Power, so the future fate of this brand is really difficult to say.

At present, the only brands that can maintain a certain competitiveness in the domestic mid-level family sedan market are Cadillac and Chevrolet.

The Opel, which was acquired by GM in Europe, and Saab, have also been unsatisfactory, and Opel has been losing money year after year, and has been losing money for more than ten years.

Saab was originally a good company, but since it was acquired by General Motors, it has completely made this Swedish company lose its original unique charm, and now it has begun to fall into the dilemma of losing money year after year.

So the current GM, to be honest, can only rely on their Chevrolet, Cadillac, and Jimsi brands to make profits.

Chevrolet is specifically aimed at the mid-range market, Cadillac is facing the high-end, and Jimsi is specifically targeting Americans' favorite pickup trucks and large SUVs.

Since realizing that he is deeply involved in the Qiang machine, GM has been thinking about how to better get out of the current quagmire. …,

After pondering for several years, they finally figured out that adopting universal standards and modular design solutions may be the best way to solve the current dilemma.

Therefore, in the past two years, GM has not done anything else, and even the research and development of new models has not made much effort, and has been thinking about how to integrate the company's resources and allocate resources in the most reasonable way, so that the company can develop healthily.

They got rid of Saab's design department and replaced it with their own people, and let Saab produce Chevrolets with Saab's logo, and this plan was also used on Pontiac and Saturn.

Of course, these are still in the trial stage, but unfortunately they don't know the consequences of doing this, if they know that after doing this for a few years, the result is to directly destroy these few, the brand directly collapsed, I'm afraid that they are killed now, they will not do this.

It's a pity that the current GM does not have the farsightedness of people like Jin Xiaoqiang, who are now rushing to carry out their global resource integration plan.

Because there are no new models to focus on in the past two years, Nick, which is well aware of GM's current situation. Reilly knows how important profits are to the company today.

Now is the transformation stage of GM, although the company is profitable every year, but this is also because the current market environment is good, but once it encounters any unpredictable crisis, GM's viability is not as strong as a very competitive company like Toyota.

So this year, being able to bring back more profits for the company is the key.

Last time, he cooperated with Huayang Power, and the two sides jointly launched the Qoros model, and this model, which was a great success in the North American market and the European market, gave GM a taste of sweetness.

In the window period when the launch of his new model is out of gear, it would be a blessing if there was such a little brother who was willing to help GM share the pressure.

Therefore, it can be said that Nick Koureli has been paying close attention to the dynamics of Huayang Power and Jin Xiaoqiang.

At the Paris Motor Show, Huayang Power brought a new model that can smack people's hearts, Nick, to consumers all over the world. Reilly saw the potential of this model at a glance.

So he came to Jin Xiaoqiang this time not for anything else, but to talk about cooperation with Jin Xiaoqiang again, and the model he wanted to cooperate with this time was the K series...... ）
