Chapter 365: Here Comes the Opportunity: Up
Ford wants to take a stake in the SmartCity project? Lin Zheng was stunned: What is the situation?
Not only Lin Zheng was stunned, but even An Jibo was stunned, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Ford: Dude, what do you think?
"I'm more optimistic about the prospects of this project," Ford chuckled, but turned his head to look at Lin Zheng again, "Lin, I invested 3o% in 3o% with raw material procurement channels, general parts procurement channels such as automobile air conditioners, technical support, and $3ooo dollars in cash, Lin, what do you think?" ”
What do you think? Very good, as I said earlier, the manufacturing of automobiles is a highly integrated system engineering, which requires tens of thousands of spare parts, even if Lin Zheng solves the most critical power system problems, but there are still many other problems...... Can't the steel used in automobiles also be brought back from China, right? In addition, the body sheets currently used in Japan are still imported from Japan. If Ford can use its own procurement channels to help Tesla, the procurement cost of raw materials, air conditioning compressors, steamers and other things alone can be saved a lot, not to mention the technical support provided by Ford?
Of course, there are many benefits, there are also disadvantages, the most terrible point is that the procurement of raw materials is pinched by Ford in the hands, in case one day Lin Zheng provokes Ford to be unhappy, saying that it is not a matter of a sentence to pinch yourself?
Of course, Lin Zheng is not stupid, and after a little thought, he roughly understood Ford's thoughts, which was worried about the impact of SmartCity on the small car of the Ford Fiesta, and wanted to minimize the impact.
After a slight groan, Lin Zheng smiled and nodded. "If Mr. Ford doesn't mind if we expand our procurement channels in the future, I'm fine."
That's right, it's time to see Ford's sincerity. If Ford does not agree with Tesla's expansion of procurement channels in the future to avoid being controlled by others in raw materials, it means that this guy has much more bad intentions than good intentions.
Ford naturally understood the truth of Lin Zheng's words, but it was precisely because he understood that he was stunned for a moment: Auto giants like Mazda and 6 Tiger dare not chirp crookedly in front of me, and you kid dare to precondition in front of me?
He had a faint feeling of being insulted.
But by the same token, Ford is not stupid. soon realized that Lin Zheng is really not afraid now, why is he not afraid? Because the project is only in its early stages. Only did some preliminary research and design, the rest? I didn't even buy the land for the construction of the factory, it's really a big deal not to do this project, anyway, the car is not the business of Lianchuang Technology.
As for the factors that will increase the cost of Lianchuang Technology to do this project alone? Hehe. Since I didn't expect to cooperate with myself just now. That means they already have a plan in place...... Ford came to the conclusion from his years of experience and perspective in the automotive industry that Lin Zheng really didn't care much about his investment.
Lin Zheng didn't care, there wasn't much place Ford could take Qiao Lin Zheng, he smiled and nodded, "Okay, of course it's no problem." ”
Now. Anjiber, who originally thought that Ford would be annoyed, was dumbfounded again: Nima, what is the situation?
Lin Zheng was somewhat surprised when he heard it, and Ford's determination to take a stake seemed to be ...... It's very determined. But he quickly reacted: This is to reduce the impact of SmartCity on the Ford Fiesta, right?
Did the SmartCity project have an impact on Ford's cheapest car Fiesta? It definitely has an impact, the starting price of the carnival is around $15ooo, and although the difference between the two is almost double the price, for many owners who buy a carnival, they are a one-person car for the vast majority of the time...... Since a two-seater budget car can meet its own requirements, why say "no"?
It would be fine if the SmartCity was as ugly as the Suzuki Alto, but the car was beautiful, very beautiful, and Ford knew very well that it would be very attractive in the eyes of Americans who wanted to make a difference.
The two people who thought they both understood each other's intentions, each with a ghost in their hearts, reached this seemingly ridiculous cooperation agreement with a smirk...... Well, it's just an intention now, and there's a lot to do.
What was originally one business turned into two, and Ford was naturally very happy, shouting for a treat, "Don't rob any of you from me." ”
――――――――――――――――――――――――
Yang Tingkun, director of Jiangbei Alto Automobile Factory, glanced at the sales report of last month in his hand again, and then there was a lament: 2o% lower than last month's sales month-on-month?
Everyone is Alto, why can they Chang'an Alto sell in a mess, and their Jiangbei Alto sales have been declining one after another? It doesn't make sense.
The establishment of Jiangbei Alto is in accordance with the central "military to civilian", in a short period of time to form a large number of production capacity of national cars and the establishment of ideas, after several years of negotiations, the Ordnance Industry Corporation finally at the end of 92 years to obtain the relevant technology and production equipment of the Japanese Suzuki Alto model, the domestic Changan Alto, Jiangbei Alto, Jiangnan Alto and Qinchuan Alto "Alto four sisters" is also beginning to take shape.
The ideals of the leaders are good, and cars like Santana and Beverly cannot afford them, but Alto's cheap car will not soon become the national car of the republic? But the ideal is beautiful, but the ideal beauty does not mean that Alto sells well, Jilin Jiangbei due to the high cost, every car built will lose 10,000 yuan, not only not profitable, but because of this, the enterprise is in debt; Jiangnan Alto has been unable to do so because of its lack of investment; Qinchuan Alto did not catch fire; On the contrary, Chang'an Alto, which has always been looked down upon by everyone, invested huge manpower, material and financial resources in the Alto project at that time, and now it is still alive and well.
"Factory director, good news, good news," when Yang Tingkun sighed and pondered how to solve this problem, the secretary Ma Chun pushed the door open with a loud voice, because it was too hard, the sound of the office door was a little too loud, which startled Yang Tingkun.
"Huh?" Yang Tingkun was suddenly unhappy: Pony, when did you become so unruly? Not only did you not know how to knock on the door, but you also dared to make such a big noise?
Fortunately, the pony has been with him for several years, and he knows a little bit about the ponny's temperament, and knows that if it weren't for something terrible, the pony probably wouldn't be so out of shape...... Looking at his flushed face with excitement, I guess there is really something good, right?
Meddlesome? Realizing this, Yang Tingkun, who was worried about the sales of Jiangbei Alto, couldn't help but start to live: this ...... Is it possible that it has something to do with Alto?
For a while, he didn't have the heart to think about the pony's ignorance of the rules, and frowned, "Well, what's all the fuss about?" ”
Xiaoma's brain is definitely enough, from the boss's frowning action, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and then thought of his improper behavior just now, and suddenly "grunt~~" in his heart, and hurriedly handed the fax in his hand to Yang Tingkun respectfully, and said to Yang Tingkun with an excited face, "Factory director, the information from the United States, there is a company that wants to buy Alto's powertrain with us, and it will be 30,000 units (sets) in the first year." ”
"What?! Are there Americans who want to buy our powertrain? ”
Yang Tingkun stood up suddenly, he knew too well what this would mean if the news was true: the cost of Jiangbei Alto was actually 10,000 yuan higher than the market price, of course, it would not be higher for no reason, everyone is the same technology and products, the sales price of a family, why can Changan Alto make money? The wonder in this can naturally be figured out by those who have a heart.
Speaking from the heart, Jiangbei Alto is facing such a situation, although I Yang Tingkun is responsible, but the main responsibility is definitely not mine, when I think of the many twists and turns in this, Yang Tingkun even feels very aggrieved.
But this qiē may disappear in front of this fax, if this news is true, no one would dare to mess with such a big export project!
The vicious dog snatched the fax on the table like a prey...... In fact, no one robbed him of ...... After a few hurried glances, Yang Tingkun's hand trembled, and he pointed to the fax and asked Ma Chun, "Xiaoma, is the news on this...... Have you checked? ”
At this moment, he finally understood why the pony was so excited, yes, he knew too well.
"This ......" pony's face showed a hint of confusion, "I was so excited when I got the news......"
As the secretary of the leader, Ma Chun of course knows that from 93 Alto to the present period, the leader's life is so sad, the enterprise is in debt, the production of a loss, the boss is now under great pressure, this is also understandable, as a subordinate unit of the Ordnance Industry Corporation, the superior leaders have worked hard to introduce you the world's best-selling car, and you have made this virtue? Doesn't this seem like the leader is losing his eyes when introducing the project?
If there is no comparison, then it is fine, and it is completely possible to excuse it with excuses such as not being in line with national conditions, and no one wants to see this situation, but ...... Who would have thought that there would be such a situation of adaptation?
But Chang'an Alto will Alto car to do impressive, market sales are rising, this is a little depressed, and then compare the sales volume has been declining, the total loss of the enterprise is increasing Jiangbei Alto, it is estimated that the leader has been thinking about how long he can stay in this position, the end of the leader is not good, the end of the secretary can be better? For this kind of "obscure" secretary, who will dare to use it in the future? (To be continued......)
