Li Gang stopped and looked at Lin Qiangsheng carefully, and then said, "Do you know what all this money is for?" ”

Without waiting for an answer, Li Gang continued: "This money includes the introduction of the engine production line, welding production line, and painting production line, and there are also licensing fees and entry fees for the introduction of these models!" ”

The so-called licensing fee is the car production license, the general principle of the world's automobile manufacturers, a car dealer to another car dealer to authorize their own products can be produced, usually the production quantity is also strictly limited. The concept of entry fee is a bit more complicated, to put it bluntly, whether you have the qualification to enter the car market is equivalent to buying road money. Generally, the amount of entry fee charged by international car dealers to the authorized party is calculated as the road purchase money or the road money, and the amount of the entry fee is determined according to the status and cooperation intentions of both parties!

When you think about it, it's like a protection fee, and there are all kinds of rules for everything from the food on the street to the trade negotiations in international business.

"Xiaolin, I just want to ask you, is $18 million enough?" Li Gang looked at Lin Qiangsheng seriously and asked.

Lin Qiangsheng opened his mouth, and said slowly under Li Gang's careful gaze: "Licensing fee, I only charge you a symbolic $1 million, after all, this is 5 models, I want to give an explanation to the designers and engineers!" I'll charge you a nominal $1 for the entrance fee. These two conditions are suitable, right? ”

In fact, there are six models, Binqi has decided to launch a mid-to-high-end car, and now they are a little hesitant between B5 and A6, and the remaining four models are Camry, Ruizhi Mark.X, Previa Overlord, and Sedan Yaris.

Li Gang looked at Lin Qiangsheng's expression and slowly relaxed, and finally said with a smile on his face: "Good Lin Qiangsheng, I didn't misunderstand you!" ”

He patted Lin Qiangsheng on the shoulder and said, "Good young man, your friendship with the motherland will not be forgotten!" ”

"Where, I just hope that the country's automobile industry will develop well and quickly!"

Lin Qiangsheng smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you forget or not, as long as some people don't scold me for strangling the national industry in the future!" ”

The next day, the family members who came with the United States began their shopping activities. Lin Qiangsheng arranged a guide for them, and a young engineer from China, who was already proficient in English, took them on a tour of the business district of Los Angeles, while the negotiating delegation began their trip to visit the LS Automotive Research Institute.

From the conversation with Li Gang, Lin Qiangsheng learned that the state attaches great importance to the selection of this automobile joint venture plant and has basically set the tone. After weighing the pros and cons and listening to the opinions of local comrades, the higher-level leaders decided to choose a large automobile base as an attempt at transformation.

The company wanted to set up a new automobile company with a part of the FAW plant, and then the company and a foreign party would jointly produce cars.

Lin Qiangsheng said secretly after hearing this: I see, I thought I could influence which company, but I didn't expect that the central government had already chosen a partner for himself.

"The development of Binqi and Harbin Automobile is obvious to all, and the two automobile companies have not only grown up, but also developed very well! The central government hopes that the eldest son of FAW, the republic's automobile company, can also achieve greater development, and the higher-level leaders have said, "Building trucks is at the level of primary school, and building cars is at the level of universities." That's why FAW with strong strength was chosen as a pilot for reform, and FAW's attitude is also very positive! Li Gang said. Let Lin Qiangsheng understand the domestic policy situation.

In just three or four years, Binqi has developed from a local accessories factory to a large-scale automobile production base with an annual output of more than 100,000 cars. Now the only thing restricting this factory is the production limit from the central government, the superiors are afraid that Binqi will not be able to sell too many cars and impact other domestic automobile companies, so Binqi has always had rich production capacity but has always been suppressed.

Harbin Automobile itself has a huge production team, and its supporting factories have dozens of professional workers of no less than 20,000 people. Immediately after the introduction of the sedan project, the factory became a manufacturing enterprise with an annual output of more than 100,000 mid-to-high-end sedans, and their Accord sedan sales were booming, and this car was more advanced than the Jetta, and has become a high-level government car in some wealthy provinces.

To the surprise of all walks of life in China, the changes in the two companies seem to have happened in the blink of an eye. Their rise is incomprehensible to even the insider. In particular, a closer look at the two companies will find that in the process of their development, the foreign party has selflessly made a lot of dedication to the construction of the two enterprises!

After the joint venture, the foreign party not only spent a huge amount of money to introduce a full set of production lines. In order to improve the process, a large number of engineers and technicians have been recruited in Europe and the United States, and even front-line workers have been recruited. They came to the two factories in Bincheng to personally participate in the production, these foreigners taught the employees of the two enterprises hand in hand, and even many foreign technicians directly undertook the processing of key parts, and the foreign side also set up a lot of study groups in the factory to learn from foreign technicians.

The foreign side also opened a technical school in the factory to teach the workers free of charge, and also set up English classes. Some skilled and talented employees are also focused on training even if their English is not good, and even foreign parties continue to select personnel to study abroad!

The various measures taken by foreign parties have surprised and surprised the Chinese people!

Many people who pay attention to the two enterprises can't understand that this is a foreign capitalist carrying forward the spirit of internationalism and dedication to selflessly help China enter the automobile industry power! Seeing that they are more enthusiastic than the country for the development of the two automobile companies, they even pay for the tuition fees of those who go abroad!

It's no wonder that such a company is growing rapidly. In addition to the national policy, there is also the serious and responsible all-round technical assistance of the foreign side, and the development of these two automobile companies is simply on a rocket!

FAW can see it most clearly in the development of Binqi, because in the early days of Binqi's construction, as the big brother of the domestic automobile industry, they exported a lot of management personnel and technical talents for the development of Binqi, and these people are also growing in the development process of this enterprise. While they brought management experience and technical talents to the joint venture, they also learned a lot from the development of Binqi.

For example, the modern production line technology of the automobile factory, as well as the modern enterprise management system, also learned a lot of process skills from all aspects of car production. By learning to imitate FAW, they also designed a set of stamping production lines by themselves, and their mold factory has changed from a workshop team to a professional manufacturer, and other automobile production technologies have also absorbed a lot.

Seeing that Binqi has developed and the car production technology is becoming more and more mature, FAW is also a little unable to sit still. Many leaders in the factory have the meaning of launching cars, especially FAW itself has a history of car production, Hongqi car is the first official car brand in China, not for other revival of Hongqi car is a good reason.

This time, they took the initiative to ask the state to introduce the car project, led by Fan Hengguang, deputy factory director.

After getting acquainted with Lin Qiangsheng, the deputy director Fan pulled Lin Qiangsheng and said, "Mr. Lin, we looked at the two cars you provided before we came!" ”

Lu Fuyuan, who was next to him, hurriedly opened his leather bag and took out two pieces of A4 paper from a folder, and Lin Qiangsheng saw that they were two shrunken car renderings printed by his father.

"To be honest, all the leaders of our FAW have seen the styling of these two cars and can't put it down! We really love it, and it's hard to part with each of these two cars! You really have very good car design masters, and there is still a long way to go in this area! ”

Fan Hengguang patted the two drawings with a smile and said: "If you choose one, you have to give up the other, it's really hard to decide!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng looked at his expression and really liked it, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Mr. Fan, after you see the actual car, you will definitely find the benefits of the A6 car, it is very suitable for you!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng only told his father that the two cars were designed by engineers from the research institute, so China did not know that these two cars were painted by Lin Qiangsheng.

Fan Hengguang nodded, touched the drawings and said: "This time we have to introduce engine projects, I don't know if your research institute can provide technology in this regard, you know that the domestic engine technology is backward, we urgently need an advanced engine, this time there is also a purpose to inspect several automobile companies in the United States!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng said: "After acquiring the Italian Lamborghini sports car company, we absorbed their technology in the power system and developed a new model of 4-cylinder 2.0L gasoline engine, which is equipped with an 8-valve SOHC single overhead camshaft, a single-point electronic fuel injection system, a power of 82 kW/5500 rpm, 111 horsepower, and an ideal fuel consumption of 9 liters per 100 kilometers, codenamed 420111 engine. ”

"Good stuff, not cheap, right? To be honest, we want to introduce an engine production line, with a set of engine technology! Fan Hengguang asked Lin Qiangsheng tentatively.

This is to see that Lin Qiangsheng is a young man, Fan Hengguang also asked directly, and the people of FAW are also very familiar with Lin Qiangsheng, and they already know what his situation is.

Lin Qiangsheng thought for a while and said: "I can license the engine technology to you at a price of 500,000 US dollars, and I can also provide an engine production line with an annual output of 70,000 units, with a price of 2.8 million US dollars, which is quite cheap, compared with the products of other manufacturers, our technology and production line are very cost-effective!" ”

"Automated processing equipment like the Hamachi Factory?" Fan Hengguang hurriedly stared at Lin Qiangsheng and asked, and Lu Fuyuan also looked at him tightly.

Do they know how much money was spent on the construction of the Binqi plant, which was more than 100 million US dollars, and almost built a complete automobile production base. Of course, FAW doesn't have so much money and can't do that, they have their own foundation and want to take advantage of their advantages.

At that time, China had just been in contact with foreign companies, so everyone was ignorant, and now it seems that it was precisely because they did not understand at that time, so they were almost taken the initiative by foreign parties in the production and sales of enterprises. After that, it was hard to win back some corporate management rights from foreign parties, and FAW did not want history to repeat itself. Now everyone understands that if FAW still signs a lot of unequal agreements as it did at the beginning, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction within the company and all walks of life, which is also something they can't do.
