Chapter 349: Global Cooperation

"In the future stage of development, Dongchen will try to open up every market in the world, whether it is a developed or developing country, or Chapter 338 has closed the entire Western automobile manufacturing enterprises that can be named, the German troika. Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz and BMW, and Volkswagen represents sub-brands such as Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, and Bugatti; French Renault, CitroΓ«n, logo; British Land Rover, Jaguar, Louvre, Bentley, except for Rolls-Royce, which was not present, other brands have gathered; Italian Fiat, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Pagani, Maserati, Alfa Romeo

These enterprises, there are comprehensive development of super-large enterprises, there are also enterprises dedicated to the development of a single field, such as: off-road vehicles, sports cars, luxury cars, etc., Rolls-Royce did not attend, Zhang Wenhao is also understandable, after all, Dongchen has not yet started to develop the luxury car market, Rolls-Royce feels that its position is unshakable, which is also reasonable.

However, other luxury car and sports car brands are very embarrassing, Dongchen's S3C and S4 have reached the level of luxury cars, and can be extremely excellent, and Dongchen's SC1 has killed all the world's previous cowhide coaxed supercars, and the most important thing is that they are now going to launch a "cheap sports car" between 500-20 million yuan, which Dongchen has completely crushed all sports car brands.

When these CEOs or chairmen, who are all over 40 years old, see Zhang Wenhao, they can't help but feel the feeling of heroic twilight in their hearts, today, they rushed to the United States, but they have to surrender to a young man in his twenties, otherwise, they will be completely wiped out by the company represented by this young man.

Zhang Wenhao sat down under everyone's attention, and the U.S. Secretary of Commerce didn't need to introduce Zhang Wenhao one by one, after all, they all had their own companies and name tags in front of them, and the Minister of Commerce said with a smile after everyone was seated: "Today, everyone should not be too restrained, after all, today is not a formal meeting, I am also entrusted by the President of the European Union to create an opportunity for everyone to meet, so everyone can speak freely today, if you want to talk to Mr. Zhang, you can also say it directly." ”

For Dongchen, these managers in the same industry have a lot of resentment in their hearts, but in the field of science and technology, the weak are never worthy of the same, the United Nations will prevent large countries from attacking small countries, but the international trade organization will never prevent high-tech enterprises from attacking peer enterprises with lower technology content in the economic field.

In fact, the EU itself is aware of the benefits of a semi-open market, just like the reform and opening up of China, I can open the market to you, but must follow the road and rules I have formulated, the EU also very much hopes to be able to copy the practice of China when it introduced foreign automobile companies, the two sides carry out a 5:5 ratio of joint ventures, so that foreign companies will not cause a devastating blow to domestic auto companies.

But the crux of the matter is that it is the European Union, not ASEAN, the European Union and North America have always been synonymous with open markets, and their economy is mostly based on open markets and international trade treaties.

Volkswagen Group is the European Union's worst loss under the impact of Dongchen, from the low-end Polo, to the high-end Phaeton, to its brands from Audi to Bugatti, all product lines have been greatly impacted. Therefore, in Chapter 338, the regiment has also experienced the biggest crisis since its inception, as you know. The Volkswagen Group has been working very closely with Chinese companies, and I think that Volkswagen is the development of Chinese automobiles. It has also made an indelible contribution, and now, Tungchen is about to land in the EU market. I'd like to ask you, would Dongchen consider cooperating with our local European companies? ”…,

This time, they knew that they couldn't stop Dongchen's technological invasion at all, they just hoped to be able to cooperate with Dongchen like General Motors, in exchange for a glimmer of life.

Zhang Wenhao smiled slightly and looked at Klinsmann. He asked, "I don't know what kind of cooperation you mean?" ”

Klinsmann said: "When Volkswagen entered the Chinese market, we first cooperated with China Overseas Automobile Group and FAW Group, and both sides invested 50% each. For a long time, our Chinese-made Volkswagen has been developing together with local Chinese enterprises in such a healthy model, and with our help, FAW and China Motor. We also have our own production lines, our own manufacturing capabilities, and have made great progress, and today, on the other hand, we hope that our Chinese friends can also do a role change, in this way, to cooperate with our local enterprises in Europe. ”

Zhang Wenhao said with a smile: "Dongchen Group has a principle in doing things, that is, it intends to hold 100% of the shares, so we will not consider the route of the joint venture from the perspective of principle." ”

Klinsmann hurriedly asked, "Can you make a change?" Can we give up a controlling stake and give Dongchen a 51% stake? ”

Zhang Wenhao shook his head lightly and said: "If Dongchen is only pursuing absolute control, then Dongchen can take out 49% of the shares at any time and enter the stock market to withdraw a large amount of cash, the reason why it is not is because I just said that Dongchen's principle is to hold 100% of its own industry." ”

Klinsmann's face was disappointed and helpless, Dongchen is definitely a hegemon in the global economic field, and even the equity requirements are so absolute, 100% shareholding, which means that they will not consider joint ventures with local European companies at all.

Immediately, Klinsmann asked, "Can we use the model of cooperation with General Motors?" We now have a large amount of surplus production capacity, and if we work for Dongchen, we can also make use of our production capacity, and the domestic employment situation will also be guaranteed. ”

Zhang Wenhao thought for a moment and said: "This kind of cooperation can be considered. ”

Saying that, Zhang Wenhao changed his words and said: "The annual output of automobiles in the world is about 90 million, German cars account for about one-fifth, and Volkswagen accounts for about 11 percent. ”

Klinsmann thought for a moment and said, "If the price is within our acceptable range, we can take out about 7% of the production capacity and invest it exclusively in the production of Dongchen Automobile." ”

Zhang Wenhao nodded and said: "In this case, I have another additional condition, that is, all the shares of Volkswagen's joint venture production lines in China must be sold to Dongchen." ”

Klinsmann did not refuse this request, in fact, he was also worried about Volkswagen's multiple production lines in China, FAW-Volkswagen, Zhonghai Volkswagen, FAW Audi, Skoda and a series of production lines, for the current Volkswagen, is an unbearable burden, sold to Dongchen, even if it is slaughtered by Dongchen, it is equivalent to cutting off a tumor.

Zhang Wenhao himself also knows that if he forms an absolute monopoly in the world, then this market will not be able to do, he understands the truth that things must be opposed, and it is impossible to snatch the jobs of all car manufacturers in the world, if this is the case, it will only force their government to break the routine and intervene, in short, the government behind these enterprises is impossible to let themselves completely snatch this cake by themselves, no matter how strong the economy is, it is inevitable to bow its head under the control of political means, so, Partnering with car manufacturers in the EU is also a good option for East.com. …,

Only in this way can it be accepted by the local government as much as possible, as long as the government has no opinion, then OEM production. It can also realize Dongchen's soft monopoly in the automotive field.

The Germans are a nation that will never be completely defeated, otherwise, they would not have spent a lot of money and manpower to form an MBV R&D group in the most difficult period, they would only temporarily succumb to reality, and then prepare for a turnaround in the background.

If Zhang Wenhao forcibly landed in Europe. The results may not be the best, but it is the best plan to penetrate through these local brands. In the end, this market has been cultivated enough habits by Dongchen, at that time. Even if other companies want to raise their heads, it is equivalent to being crushed under the Five Elements Mountain, which is extremely difficult.

French and British companies are also seeking cooperation with Dongchen, these brands have enough manufacturing capacity, and Dongchen is also very satisfied with this, but Zhang Wenhao still wants to ensure that his core technology is not leaked, so all engines and gearboxes are produced from China. In the future, other companies will only work for Dongchen, and will never have access to Dongchen's core technologies.

But when it came time for Italian companies to talk about cooperation with Dongchen, Zhang Wenhao was not very interested.

In Italy, except for Fiat, the rest are basically all supercar brands, and the global sales of supercars are not high. Moreover, for high-end cars, Dongchen is ready to export all of them from China to the world market, so as to ensure the pure Dongchen and Chinese bloodlines of high-end cars, so Zhang Wenhao is not ready to cooperate with these supercar brands OEM, in this case. It will make Dongchen's high-end car look nondescript, just like a Chinese-made Ferrari gives people the feeling that it is too weird and unacceptable.

Ferrari, Lamborghini, Pagani, Maserati, these brands were once very brilliant, but all relied on supercars to support the market and brand awareness, and their product lines were too narrow to seek any breakthroughs under Dongchen's powerful technology.

Zhang Wenhao verbally agreed to cooperate with Fiat, but Zhang Wenhao politely declined to these supercar brands: "Dongchen's sports cars are sold as Dongchen's high-end cars, so Dongchen must ensure that the bloodline of high-end cars is pure, so I think it is difficult for us to reach cooperation with several supercar companies on the production process." ”

Ferrari's president, Jean Lee. Todd said indignantly: "If Dongchen refuses to cooperate with Ferrari, then this long-established brand will disappear from the world, which is a huge loss to the world car market!" ”

Zhang Wenhao said helplessly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Todd, we really can't cooperate in this field, in fact, it is absolutely impossible for Dongchen S3C, C3C and above the models to be produced in joint ventures with other brands, if your company is interested, then we can talk about the production and manufacturing cooperation of S1, S2, S3, C1, C2, C3 these low-end models." ”

Let. Todd suddenly seemed to be humiliated, and blurted out: "You let us produce low-end models that cost no more than $100,000?!" This is an absolute insult to Ferrari! ”

Zhang Wenhao was not angry at his anger, but said with regret: "If you refuse this cooperation, then I think there is no need for Dongchen to continue to seek cooperation with your company." ”

The president of Lamborghini hurriedly said: "We can accept the cooperation conditions of Dongchen!" ”

This sentence surprised the heads of several other supercar companies, Lamborghini has always taken a very high-end and alternative route, and they are now willing to reduce their prices to manufacture those low-end models that cost no more than 100,000 US dollars? Even if they could accept it, how much would it help Lamborghini with their current production model and productivity? …,

And the president of Lamborghini then said: "Mr. Zhang, I implore Dongchen to allow us to allow us to carry out certain transformations on the basis of Dongchen S1-S3 and C1-C3 cars, after all, you also know that we are indeed not suitable for the production of this pure mass production family car, I think, combined with our Lamborghini manufacturing concept, the modified model should have a certain market, and the price can be increased accordingly." ”

Zhang Wenhao thought for a while, nodded and said: "I don't object to this, if your company is interested, you can derive a branch of Dongchen, and modify and strengthen each model to a certain extent, however, this can only be reviewed by Dongchen, that is to say, how to change each car, and what price to sell after the change, these must be approved by Dongchen." ”

"There's no problem with this!"

Other supercar companies suddenly exclaimed, it turns out that they can still talk about cooperation like this?! If you follow this model, then everything is relatively easy to accept, they can use their experience in high-end car manufacturing, the low-end models of Dongchen to modify accordingly, and then cut into the market with a special model, Dongchen made these low-end models when there is no absolute force, so, they still have a certain amount of room for modification.

Zhang Wenhao did not reject this, after all, they can guess the modification road of these brands, they can guess it, it is nothing more than the modification and upgrading of the sports version and the energy version, the interior, the appearance, the supercharged transmission and other accessories to carry out certain transformations, but it can also open the market of Dongchen's low-end cars, this market is very niche, Zhang Wenhao does not look at it, but this cooperation model, can win the favor of consumers. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
