Chapter 919 - CVT Delivered to the Door: Down& Finally Can't Hold It
readx;
When he received Waldegard's call, Lin Zheng couldn't believe his ears......
"Lao Wa, what did you say? Belgium Bunge Automatic Transmission wants to work with us? Are you sure it's April Fool's Day and you're not kidding me? ”
"Boss, you know, I've never joked about this kind of thing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "Bijon. Waldegard didn't know what his boss was excited about, and his tone was calm.
Since Tesla Motors released the news that it was testing the CVT version of SmartCity, the two major CVT transmission companies in Japan and Germany, Bosch called in, desperately trying to persuade Tesla Motors to give up developing its own CVT and choose to cooperate with them.
After listening to Waldegard, Lin Zheng also calmed down, mainly because he was suppressed by Bunch's name, how high is Bunch's status in our country, let's put it this way, our national car brand in addition to X Rui, all those who use CVT automatic transmissions, basically the gearbox is from Bunch, and like Volkswagen, the Republic is also the most important source of income for Bunch, and even more outrageous than Volkswagen is that the revenue of the Republic market accounts for more than 9% of all the revenue of Bunche Company, in Bunch's hometown of Europe, They even closed their factories and kept only the R&D center, so it can be said that although Bunge's headquarters are in Europe, Bunge's consumer market is that of China, which is a new car manufacturing powerhouse.
However, it was 2007 when Bunch entered the country. The first CVT automatic transmission was officially rolled off the assembly line in 2009, and the product is very simple, only CVT automatic transmission. The influence and popularity in the auto parts industry are far less than those of the industry giants Bosch, Delphi, and Schaeffler, but as a qualified small second-hand car dealer, Lin Zheng has long been known for the name of Bunge, and this is a bit of a gaffe for a while.
Fortunately, he quickly adjusted his emotions and groaned for a while, before asking, "What did Bunge say?" ”
"I didn't say much, just a few words." Waldegard still has a dead "I'm not interested in them": "We're working on our own CVT anyway. Why bother with them? ”
is also the truth, Lin Zheng reacted at this time. I don't know how, he dropped a sentence like a ghost: "Unless Bunge wants to sell it to us, you can watch and deal with other things." ”
"Okay." Waldegard agreed happily.
……………………
originally thought that things would stop here, but it's like what it says in the movie "Forrest Gump". Life is like chocolate, you never know what the next one will be, Lin Zheng has even forgotten about this matter, when he received a call from Waldegard again, saying that Belgium Bunch can consider selling part of the shares to Tesla Motors, Ya was directly stunned: What is the situation?
The down-and-out homeless man back then, after so many years of training, now shows a very high quality of professional managers, facing the inquiries of his boss. Waldegard said unhurriedly: "What I have learned, it seems that ZF, the largest automatic transmission manufacturer in Europe, is now buying Bunge, but the price offered is relatively low. Bunch's chairman was not very reluctant to sell Bunch to ZF. ”
What else is this? Lin Zheng is a little dumbfounded, transmission giant ZF is seeking to acquire Punch? I've never heard of this.
This is not to blame Lin Zheng, although Ya used to be a small second-hand car dealer, and her knowledge of cars is much greater than that of the most common people, but there is no doubt that among the group of people who rely on cars to eat. Lin Zheng is at the bottom - second only to the bottom of the front-line car sales.
To put it bluntly, Bunch was bought. Does it have anything to do with you Lin Zheng for a dime?
Of course not, Lin Zheng won't care, he really did that, he can only use the words "idle egg pain" to explain, with that kung fu, it's better to think about selling two more cars, find a friend to brag about, and even find a machine that hasn't been brushed to study how to brush this mobile phone, who has that kung fu to waste time?
But now......
Lin Zheng suddenly stirred up and hurriedly asked, "How many shares are Bunge going to sell to us?" What about the price? ”
Waldegard: "Bunch didn't say, just asked us first...... Boss, what do you mean? ”
Lin Zheng didn't speak immediately, before making this decision, he could be excited about this matter, but when he considered whether to buy the shares of Punch Power in the name of the chairman of Tesla Motors, he had to be cautious, cautious and cautious.
After pondering for a while, Lin Zheng asked Waldegard: "Lao Wa, based on the identity of the CEO of Tesla Motors, what do you think about this matter?" ”
"I'm inclined to buy if the price is right." Waldegard said without hesitation.
"Huh?" Lin Zheng was a little surprised, he thought that Waldegard would refuse without hesitation, but he didn't expect Waldegard's answer to be like this: "Tell me your reasons." ”
Waldegard: "It's very simple, Punch Power has more than 20 years of experience in R&D, production and manufacturing of CVT transmissions, which we lack, and they have more experience in manufacturing belt-driven CVT automatic transmissions than us, as early as 1974 they produced the first belt-driven CVT automatic transmission DAF66, if they can buy Punch at a reasonable price, why say no?"
Lin Zheng was a little surprised, he didn't expect Waldegard to know Bunch so deeply, but in addition to being surprised, Lin Zheng was more surprised: automatic transmission is the trend of future development, when even a third-tier city like Langya City has become a "blocked city", and then open a manual transmission is simply torture for the driver, the experience of later generations tells Lin Zheng that as long as the conditions permit, everyone will choose automatic transmission as much as possible when buying a car- Not to mention the countless female killers on the road who use the wiper lever as a turn signal transfer switch.
When I decided to launch the automatic transmission project, why didn't I choose the automatic transmission or the DCT dual-clutch transmission, but chose the CVT, which was criticized as "the least controllable and unable to withstand high torque"? It's all a handful of snot and a handful of tears: Nima, isn't it only CVT who still has a chance to enter?
Tell Bunge that Tesla Motors is very interested in Bunge's cooperation, and ask them about the shares they are going to sell, the offer, the contact with ZF during this period and ZF's attitude towards the acquisition, Bunge's market share and product quality, and their company's current financial situation...... In short, all the factors that may affect this acquisition should be done as soon as possible, don't be afraid to spend money, I have only one requirement: the sooner the better! Lin Zheng said in a deep voice.
"Okay!" Waldegard immediately agreed without hesitation, and he never hesitated to implement any decision made by Lin Zheng.
After hanging up the phone for a long time, Lin Zheng still couldn't react: he now has the opportunity to acquire Bunge, one of the world's three largest CVT automatic transmission manufacturers?
To be honest, if it weren't for Waldegard telling him today, Lin Zheng wouldn't have dared to think about it, but as long as he thought that if Tesla Motors could really acquire Bunge Power, the last shortcoming of Tesla Motors and the car kingdom he sketched would also be filled, Lin Zheng couldn't help but tremble with excitement, the only question was ...... How big is Bunge Power's appetite?
"No matter how big your appetite is, don't want to fly out of Lao Tzu's palm this time!" Looking at his clenched fists, Lin Zheng said to himself.
……………………………………
"Xiaolin, are you busy at this time?" Jiang Ziming's voice on the phone was exceptionally kind and polite.
Not to mention, a vice governor spoke to you so politely, Lin Zheng was a little flattered, and said busily: "Don't be busy, if you have anything to do, just tell me." ”
"Hehe, I'm just helping people pass on a word," Jiang Ziming's laughter on the phone became more and more hearty: "Zhang Feng's father wants to invite you to sit down," after a slight pause, Jiang Ziming said: "Actually, Comrade Zhang Liguo wants to call you in person, but considering that Zhang Feng and you may have some misunderstandings, I can't say a word or two on the phone, I am worried that the misunderstanding between them will deepen, and the most important thing is that he thinks it is more sincere to explain this matter to you in person, so ......"
Zhang Feng's father? The big man who stumbled himself and appointed deputy director of the planning and appointment of the "small cabinet"?
However, Vice Governor Jiang, the relationship between you and this Comrade Zhang Liguo is very unusual, and these words are not unavoidable, but the friendship that you have to do can be justified.
A look of incomprehension flashed in his eyes, and he smiled: "Leader, you are too polite, you have said so, what else can I say?" Please reply to Leader Zhang, and say that I have time at any time. ”
"That's good, that's good," Jiang Ziming smiled, and seemed to be very happy: "I told Comrade Liguo that you are not a stingy person, but he insisted on it...... Okay, so that's a foregone conclusion? ”
"It's decided," Lin Zheng said with a smile: "I'm waiting for the leader's dispatch at any time......"
Hanging up the phone, Lin Zheng's gaze couldn't help but fall on his desk, as if he could see through the thick solid wood table top to see the contents of the drawer: there was a document that Waldegard passed to him about Zhang Feng's situation when he was in charge of the university......
