Carl Newman understood what those engineers meant, but he was also constantly scolding in his heart, this gang of technical controls, this hint is too obvious, right?
They can not only see such hints themselves, but also the human spirit opposite them?
Now people are just throwing a piece of meat and bones, and you are already wagging your tail and begging for mercy like a dog, you must know that this is a negotiation, to maximize the interests of the company!
What's more, this Huayang power is too insidious, but it uses a technology, and there is a cooling oil, so we have to exchange our Qwattra's full-time four-wheel drive technology, as well as layered combustion technology, as well as too dragged chassis design, as well as the transmission technology of Lion trucks, this deal, how do you look at it from me, how do you look at it, how do you feel a little panicked?
It is true that our lion and too dragged brand, in the world, there is no Si Nia, no Volvo, no international commercial reputation, and even in the domestic lion is not Mercedes-Benz heavy truck popular, but that is also one of the pride of our public!
You just exchange those two for the four of us, this is too good to take advantage, right?
"Mr. Jin, I think we have also seen your sincerity in today's negotiations, but the technology you have requested is very important, and I think we still have to go back and discuss with the people at the headquarters before we can make a decision. I really don't have the discretion to make a decision on the scope of today's meeting, so I have to have a meeting with the company's senior directors before I can make a decision. ”
Cal. Newman felt that the stakes were too high for him to make up his mind alone, so it would be better to go back and have a meeting with the company's top management to discuss it.
And today's engineers in my team are too explicit, so if I agree to the request of these technical controllers, it will make the next negotiations today more passive, so it is not a bad thing to slow down the pace of negotiations, so I said the above words to Jin Xiaoqiang.
“OK! I agree・I may have to stay in the U.S. for a few more days, so it's okay to wait for a few days. But I still have to ask Mr. Newman to hurry up, because I don't know when I have something to fly back to China to deal with, so I don't necessarily have a lot of time to stay in the United States. ”
Jin Xiaoqiang gave the answer very officially, and then ended today's negotiations with Carl Newman with a smile and looked at Carl. Newman and his team hurried out of the Hilton Hotel, and Jin Xiaoqiang stood behind them with a smile to say goodbye, but he knew that he was not far from success.
Sooner or later, Volkswagen people will not be able to hold back, not to mention the turbine cooling engine oil, even this kind of fuel nozzle that solves the difficulties of their stratified combustion technology will make Volkswagen agree to its own conditions.
After returning to his hotel, Carl. Newman immediately organized his own team of engineers to conduct a very rigorous assessment of the possibility of combining the fuel nozzles in SKYACTIV's technology with his company's stratified combustion technology.
Fortunately, Volkswagen has also paid attention to Huayang Power for a long time, and since the second half of last year, it has been actively collecting their technical information, especially about the design of the engine field.
Genesis blue sky technology, Volkswagen also paid attention to the K series after the launch, and also bought several cars, went back to dissect and study, and now in the head office, there are considerable video and technical data records.
The company quickly sent over the data and video recordings, and the engineers of the negotiation team even planned to send them to Carl. Newman applied and asked to buy a few cars in North America, take them apart, and analyze them. …,
If it weren't for the fact that KB had just been launched in North America, it was currently catching up with the craze of the American people, and if you wanted to pick up the car, you would have to wait until three months later. Newman was really going to accede to the request of the tech controllers.
In the end, because of the difficulty of picking up the car, they had to ask the R&D department in Europe to buy a real K5 car for a few more days to conduct synchronous research.
Although KB is also very popular in Europe, and you have to wait to pick up the car, Volkswagen is not short of a few dollars, and it is really not possible to directly increase the price to pick up the car, so it buys a second-hand car from someone else at a high price and disassembles it for research.
After several days of working overtime day and night, Carl came down. The engineers in the negotiation team led by Newman finally came to the conclusion that if the stratified combustion technology was combined with the fuel injection system used on the K series, then the stratified combustion technology could really restrain the fuel quality problems that had plagued them in the first place.
After coming to this conclusion, the engineers of this group of Volkswagen were as happy as if they were having a holiday, which is great news!
You must know that in the field of naturally aspirated engines, to be honest, they have not had any technology that they can handle, and what variable valve timing technology is also following the Japanese Bp.
And to be honest, in terms of the reliability of naturally aspirated engines, they really do not enter the Japanese Toyota and Honda, those damn Japanese, simply give the fine processing to the extreme in the field of engines.
If this were not the case, they would not have been the first to popularize turbochargers to mid-level cars and compete with Japanese cars.
Now they have finally made a breakthrough in the field of stratified combustion, if they can get the technical support of Huayang Power, they can combine these two technologies, and they have the capital to compete with the Japanese.
And if you can get their turbo cooling engine oil from Huayang Power, then for Volkswagen's engine, it can definitely be said that it has made a big breakthrough in the engine field and a grade improvement!
As long as these technologies are well integrated, then they will definitely have a leap forward in the field of engine technology for mid-level cars and high-end cars.
How can such a temptation be endured by the technical controllers of the public?
So one by one, they continued to ask Karl in various ways. Newman hinted at him, signaling that he agreed to the conditions of Huayang Power and reached a technology exchange.
And Carl. In the past two days, Newman has been holding video conferences with the company's senior management, and the main topic of this meeting is that if it agrees to Huayang Power's requirements, what will be the gain and loss of Volkswagen?
The full-time four-wheel drive technology of the proud Qwattra, as well as the layered combustion technology, if exchanged with Huayang Power, what will it bring to the public?
In the end, everyone came to the conclusion that if they reached an agreement with Huayang Power, then they would get a victory both tactically and strategically.
Tactically speaking, if they reach an agreement with Huayang Power and get technical support from Huayang Power, then their engine technology will reach a new level.
Strategically, they will have a chance to survive in the mid-range car market!
This is the most important thing, because at present, for Volkswagen, it is the most important thing to maintain their market share in the Celestial Empire market, you know, this is the foundation of their development to this day!
As for the Lion's gearbox technology, as well as the too dragging turf technology, these are negligible giveaways, after all, in the eyes of Volkswagen's top management, the civilian passenger car field is the key to their survival. …,
After all, although the lion is famous, it is not as influential as the public in the world, and it is needless to say that it is too procrastinating.
The annual profits that this kind of large truck can bring to them can be said to be a drop in the bucket compared with civilian passenger cars.
Therefore, the top management of Volkswagen held several meetings, and then quickly made a decision to agree to this technology exchange with Huayang Power, but they also told Karl.
Newman, be sure to pay attention to the way you negotiate with Huayang Power, maintain a close relationship with them, and even cooperate with the other party in some areas if possible!
After getting the affirmation of the company's top management, and authority, Carl. Newman also had a bottom in his heart, so he immediately organized the third negotiation with Huayang Power.
The negotiations went very smoothly, and Volkswagen agreed to the condition that they could exchange their Qwattra's full-time four-wheel drive technology for the turbo cooling engine oil.
In terms of stratified combustion technology, the two sides decided to cooperate, and Huayang Power will come up with its own new nozzles, as well as the corresponding data, and Volkswagen will cooperate on the latest stratified combustion technology, all the results will belong to the two companies, and the two sides will jointly develop the latest engine combustion method.
Moreover, Huayang Power will provide the finished product of its own TVS super supercharger to Volkswagen, and Volkswagen will transfer the chassis frame design of the BX8 to the Tai Tractor Truck, as well as the modular design concept and principle like Huayang Power.
The most important thing is that Volkswagen's Lion will transfer their 12-speed AMT transmission production technology and process to Huayang Power, as well as open patents......
This cooperation can be said to be a strategic victory for both parties, because both sides have got what they want most from each other's hands, so this is a win-win cooperation.
Jin Xiaoqiang and Carl. Newman was pleased with the outcome of the negotiations, and was very happy with the outcome of the negotiations. After Newman and the others left the Hilton Hotel satisfied, Jin Xiaoqiang prepared his team, knowing that GM would send someone over soon
