Chapter 113: The Avenger Model

The central negotiating team is gone, and everyone is a lot more relaxed. Leon was clamoring to go back to France, and Lin Qiangsheng thought that there was nothing to do with these foreigners, so he simply bought them a return ticket and gave them some souvenirs.

Lyons also submitted an analysis of the Avenger model and its analysis to the negotiating team, and said that the full set of technologies for this model, except for the gearbox, could be put into the new joint venture.

After that, they have completed their mission to China.

In fact, the Avenger model has already been revealed to the Chinese side, and the head of the negotiation team, Li Gang, has always believed that this B-class car is a product of the early 70s, and the technology is backward and the model is small and does not conform to the aesthetics of the Chinese people, and has been discussing with the French whether they can provide other models.

Lyon said that at present, they can only supply the Avenger model to the Chinese side, and the company has no plans to produce other models in China.

Two days later, Lyon and his party arrived at the airport, and Lin Qiangsheng also came to see them off. When he got on the plane, he broke away from the people who came from the province to see him off, Lin Qiangsheng smiled and hugged Leon, then held his hand and said, "Thank you, Leon!" I owe you a personal favor! ”

Leon laughed, "Nothing other than being suffocating and boring here." Do you owe me a personal favor? Aha! ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded with a smile, and just about to say something, Leon suddenly hit him in the abdomen with a fist with his right hand, and slashed at Lin Qiangsheng's neck with his left hand.

"Bang"

"Oh!" Lin Qiangsheng was so painful that he bent down all of a sudden, and the double blow on his stomach and neck made him faint!

"Haha. This time I'm revenge! You said you owed me a favor, and now you pay it back! After Leon finished fighting, he jumped to the side and took a stance. Xiang Lin Qiangsheng smiled.

"Ahem, you bastard, it hurts me to death!" Lin Qiangsheng clutched his stomach with a distorted face and shouted, looking at Leon's gloating smile, he gritted his teeth even more.

"Lin! Are you okay? Muk asked with concern, after all, Lin Qiangsheng hired himself and found himself a very good job, so Muk still complained to Leon: "How can you do this!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng waved his hand. Said to a few people: "Forget it! Don't let our people see what's going on! ”

He looked at a few people and said seriously, "Leon, Mook, Barr." I would like to thank you very much this time, thanks to your help in reaching a preliminary agreement with the Chinese side! When the contract is successful, you will all have a good return! Believe me! ”

Leon smiled and waved his hand and said, "I came here for revenge. It's nothing. You're welcome! ”

Muk picked up his suitcase and said with a smile: "Boss, you got me a good job!" The design of a new modern factory, which will give me the opportunity to become a design master! The first modern factory in China is exciting to think about! ”

Barr said to Lin Qiangsheng: "Boss, the regulations of the joint venture law of the Chinese high-level will come out in about a month, and it will take one month to review the contract and prepare the work." In two or three months, the Chinese side will be funded. During this time, it is also necessary to contact foreign equipment manufacturers! I hope this time. You can consider borrowing from foreign banks, the international credit market is very good at present, and I believe that there will be banks that will take a fancy to this Chinese car factory plan! ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded, shook hands with Barr and said, "Thank you, Barr, if it weren't for the good rise in my oil futures, I would definitely have borrowed from an international bank, but now I want to wait!" ”

Barr nodded regretfully and said with a smile, "Yes! Everyone knows that oil futures will go up. If there is anything about the boss, please contact me! ”

Lin Qiangsheng paid a lot of money to the three of them, and for this trip to China, they each gave them a reward of 30,000 US dollars, which was very generous. At the same time, Muck also received a design project for a factory, and Barr did not want to lose this customer as a negotiator, none of them were official employees of Peugeot, Mook had a small studio, and Barr belonged to a consulting company.

Lin Qiangsheng shook hands with the three of them and put them on the passenger plane.

At the same time, in the conference room of the automobile factory, Li Gang, general manager of the automobile company, Lin Xiangrong, deputy general manager, Chang Yuanting, secretary of the Revolutionary Committee, and Zhou Jianjiang of the Provincial Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Bureau were discussing the issue of models.

Zhou Jianjiang took the picture of the Avenger car, looked at it repeatedly, and said, "Isn't this car very good?" According to the French, it is also a mid-level sedan, and it is still in production! ”

Zhou Jianjiang doesn't care, as long as he can talk about this cooperation perfectly. He, Lin Xiangrong and Chang Yuanting were inclined to accept the models provided by the French, and the French also said that they were willing to develop the Jetta sedan brand of the automobile factory. They will transplant the technology of the Avenger sedan to the Jetta model.

Previously, the automobile factory had been trapped in the quality problem of the car for a long time, and the help of the French in TongguΓ² would definitely be able to improve it, and the cadres of the automobile factory were very much looking forward to this.

From the information provided by the French, it can also be seen that the technology of the Avenger sedan platform is very mature and has a wide range of uses, and there are many models derived from this platform.

The Avenger sedan is a global model launched by Chrysler Corporation, and its drivability is very suitable for the current roads in China, and it also has several different models of sedans, station wagons, and fastbacks. With this platform, it can also enrich the models of automobile manufacturers.

In 1967, Chrysler completely took over Rootes, which made the British Rootes company's "BCAR Intermediate Car" program completely Americanized, and in February 1970, Hillman Avenger was officially released to the public, and its road watch and sporty shape design won unanimous praise from consumers and the media.

Of course, the name of the Avenge was also a factor in its success, as the name fits perfectly into the cultural atmosphere of the time and has a strong character of the era. From 1970 until its retirement in 1981, the Avenger produced 638,631 units in the UK. In addition, the Avenger's racing version of the Tiger has an excellent performance in the British Touring Car Championship, adding to the car's historical value. Today, the four-door road version of the AvengerTiger has become a popular collector's car.

As you can see from the data, the chassis and powertrain of this car are very good, and the sports performance is also very good! The chassis system and power system are currently the weaknesses of the automobile factory, and if the technology of the French is obtained, it can just make up for these two shortcomings.

In fact, this model is a not very pure American car, which has both the tradition of British man-made cars and the participation of the French, and now it has become a hodgepodge.

After Chrysler's defeat in Europe, both its company and technology were transferred to Peugeot. Lin has communicated with Peugeot to get them to agree to transfer all the technology of this model, except for the gearbox, for tens of millions of dollars.

Of course, the model that Lin Johnson bought was the British version of the Avenger, and the emission indicators of this version did not pass the emission standards of the United States, so this model was produced for another two years, and it will be discontinued in 81.

Peugeot is glad that someone has been the receiver of this car!

Li Gang's thoughts are different from those from these original factories, after all, he came from a large factory like FAW. Li Gang still wants to ask the French for a popular model in the world, such as the Peugeot 305 that Peugeot has just launched. The Avenger model makes people feel a little smaller at first glance, not like a mid-level car.

"Are the French negotiators gone? Will they make our request to Peugeot headquarters? Li Gang said to Zhou Jianjiang of the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Bureau.

Zhou Jianjiang said: "Well, it's gone, and our comrades are going to see them off." ”

Li Gang shook his head, feeling very sorry in his heart! This time the attitude of the French was so good, but they did not talk about a real mid-class sedan. He knew that his opposition was useless, and the Central Committee hoped that the negotiations would be completed quickly, so as to set an example for the whole country, and by the way, put a little pressure on the Germans in SH.

And the joint venture law has been working overtime to prepare for the central government, and these people in the local area are also inclined to develop their own brand model Jetta.

Although he was personally dissatisfied with the technical age and outdated design of the Aenger model, and wanted to get a popular mid-level sedan from the French once and for all, he could not withstand the pressure from many sides. (To be continued......)

ps: It's on the shelves, it's in a hurry. I wanted to have a few more yards for a while, but due to work and physical reasons, I didn't leave a manuscript.

At the same time, the weather was very hot, and I felt that my energy was a little low, so I wrote slowly, and everyone slowly watched. But I still have the cheekiness to ask everyone to subscribe to my book, and I am very grateful to all of you here!

I am very grateful to those friends who have been silently supporting me, those friends who have supported me in the comment area and rewarded me, your support every time is the motivation for me to write! Thank you very much!
