Chapter 941 had to be
readx;
Lin Zheng has always felt a little uneasy about ZF's quietness during this time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
These multinational giants have always been arrogant and sensitive, and Lianchuang Technology's brutal refusal will undoubtedly make them feel that their dignity has been offended, and retaliation is simply inevitable.
But what makes Lin Zheng feel strange is that since he last kicked out the general manager of ZF Republic Branch, Welmann, from the hotel, ZF has not moved.
It turns out that they are holding back the bad here!
Tesla Motors has signed a cooperation agreement with Punch Power, which is true, but whether this cooperation agreement can take effect still needs the approval of the Belgian authorities, as an EU country, ZF through the German government to put pressure on the Belgian authorities is not as difficult as imagined.
Apparently ZF had this idea: you think that's it? I'm telling you, you're naΓ―ve! But......
Lin Zheng's gaze fell on the empty chair in the conference room: How could it be so coincidental?
An invisible tacit understanding that Jean Eric. McGraw's gaze also followed Lin Zheng to Matthew. On Reggie's chair, the original iron blue's face has turned iron blue!
"Mr. Eric, if I'm not mistaken, this Matthew. Mr. Reggie has always been disapproving of Punch Power's partnership with Tesla, right? β
"That's right," said Eric. McGraw gritted his teeth with a blue face, he knew what Lin Zheng wanted to ask, and he didn't hide it: "Matthew has always been a firm promoter of the cooperation between Bunge Power and ZF. β
The doubts in his heart were completely solved, and Lin Zheng smiled: Sure enough!
"Mr. Eric, are you sure you can convince the Belgian government?" Looking at Eric. McGraw Lin Zheng's tone is not very polite, but now is not the time to be polite.
Eric. McGraw was not polite to Lin Zheng, after listening to Lin Zheng's introduction, he had already decided that the Republic was the starting point of the revitalization of Bunge Power, and he would never allow anyone to destroy his dreams, not even the company's senior executive vice president! Without hesitation, he said: "I know some high-level people in the government, you can rest assured that ZF's conspiracy will not succeed so easily!" β
Although I know since Eric. McGraw must be sure that he dares to say this, but now that the two are partners, he must fulfill his obligations as partners, Lin Zheng said: "If there is anything you need my help with, just ask, don't be polite to me." β
Knowing that now is not the time to be polite, Eric. McGraw didn't push: "You're welcome." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
On the eve of the imminent victory, there was such an incident, the feeling of disturbance was really indescribable, just like when a table full of Han was about to start, suddenly a few flies landed on the table, and it ruined people's appetites, but unfortunately, Lin Zheng has no foundation in Belgium, and he can't use his strength, and the best way now is to let the embassy provide some reference advice.
Knowing that Lin Zheng was seeking to acquire the world's famous automatic transmission company Punch Power in Belgium, the embassy was shocked: Are our domestic companies so powerful that they can buy companies in one of the richest countries in the world? Belgium's per capita income is even higher than that of the United States.
A country's embassies abroad are born to collect all kinds of political, economic, military and other information in the country, the embassy has a deep understanding of the Belgian automobile industry, although Belgium itself does not have its own car brand, but the automobile industry is very developed, Opel, Ford, Volvo and Volkswagen all have an automobile industry base in Belgium, with an annual production and assembly of nearly one million passenger cars, nearly 80,000 commercial vehicles, the total number of people directly and indirectly engaged in the automobile manufacturing industry is as high as more than 300,000, It accounts for about 10 percent of Belgium's total employment, and the automotive manufacturing industry accounts for 3.6 to 4 of Belgium's GDP.
In the upstream and downstream industries of Belgium's automobile manufacturing industry, Punch Power is the proudest enterprise in Belgium, although Punch Power's performance in the world is not good, it can only be said to be barely maintained, but this barely maintained is also relative to ZF, Aisin Seiki, these top giants in the industry, looking at the world, can produce high-performance automatic transmission companies are only a few, although the ranking of Punch Power is not high, playing CVT, but it is also an automatic transmission, Now that it is known that a domestic company is actually buying Punch Power, after the initial shock, the embassy is left with extreme ecstasy and worry: can such a big thing be done?
No matter if it can be done or not, you can't die if you try, and you can't make it, but what if it does? The embassy did not dare to slack off, and immediately got in touch with the country, anxiously waiting for the instructions from the country.
Although I am also confused in China, I don't understand why Lin Zheng's kid suddenly ran to Belgium inexplicably?
However, it is not a bad thing to be able to go to foreign countries to acquire other people's enterprises, at least it is to "promote its prestige outside the territory", and the instructions of the leaders are very simple: the embassy must fully cooperate with Lianchuang Technology to complete the acquisition, and if necessary, it can use the corresponding resources.
"This is really ......" Hearing Ambassador Lei say in a joking tone about the importance of domestic leaders, Lin Zheng was somewhat flattered, "The leaders are like this, I am under a lot of pressure." β
"It's a good thing to be stressed, and besides, isn't there an embassy in the back?" Ambassador Lei said with a smile, and then said to Lin Zheng half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Mr. Lin, I didn't say you, you should have told us about this earlier, and we should have been prepared, you said that you have been in contact with Bunge Power for so long, and now even the contract has been signed, if it weren't for such a thing, we wouldn't know about it......"
Lin Zheng understands the frustration of the embassy very well, in terms of the status of Punch Power in the industry, the weight and attraction of the domestic automobile manufacturing industry is not small, as long as the embassy makes a contribution from it, this is a proper political achievement, but sadly, the embassy did not know before!
Although the most important reason for this is that Lianchuang Technology is not connected with Bunge Power by itself, but through their holding company in the United States, Tesla Motors, and Bunge Power are involved, the leaders will not understand the distress of the embassy, in the eyes of the leaders, you don't know about such a big thing, what you didn't say is that your work is not in place!
You say, how wronged is Ambassador Lei?
Lin Zheng was actually quite embarrassed in his heart, when he made political achievements, he didn't have anything to do with others, and you came to the door when he needed help? He bowed his hand to Ambassador Lei again and again, and said embarrassedly: "It's because I didn't think it through enough, and I thought about this matter too simply...... Ambassador Lei, to tell you the truth, I can't come to Belgium a few times a year, so I would like to ask you to take care of it a little more. β
Lin Zheng used this way to apologize to himself, of course Ambassador Lei understood in his heart, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, Xiaolin, you don't know, I heard that our domestic enterprises came to acquire Belgian enterprises, and the comrades were all excited, our country is really much stronger now......
These words are really emotional.
Ambassador Lei is also in his 50s, he has been engaged in diplomatic work since the 80s, has been a diplomat all his life, and has seen the country's status in the international community getting higher and higher.
Although the mouth complains, but the complaints are complaining, but there is no delay at hand, proud, proud, people who are not abroad all the year round can not understand this mood at all.
Lin Zheng was also very emotional in his heart.
"By the way, Kobayashi, your company and the Aerospace Industry Corporation have built an engine factory together?" After chatting for a while, Ambassador Lei suddenly asked Lin Zheng.
Although I don't know why Ambassador Lei suddenly asked about this, Lin Zheng still nodded and said: "Well, that's right, there is such a thing, if there is no accident, it will be officially put into production next month." β
But what do you mean by that, you ask?
"So, you bought Punch Power to match your engines?"
It turned out that because of this, Lin Zheng finally understood, and said with a smile: "There is this consideration." β
"You haven't thought of seeking cooperation with other more technologically advanced automatic transmission manufacturers?" Ambassador Lei asked puzzledly: "The price you paid for this acquisition of Bunge Power is too great. β
Lin Zheng suddenly felt some heartache in his heart.
He knew that Ambassador Lei was actually well-intentioned, thinking that he could help Lianchuang Technology save some money, but the problem is that your idea is good, but who is stupid these days.
"To tell you the truth, we have actually thought about this idea, and we have even contacted Japan's Aisin Seiki and Germany's ZF." Lin Zheng said with a wry smile.
"Huh?" Ambassador Lei nodded and motioned for Lin Zheng to continue.
"Can you believe it, a maximum power of 103 hp and a maximum torque of 150 Nm. The low-end 4AT automatic transmission of the meter, Japan's Aisin Seiki gave us a quotation of 50,000 RMB, and the German ZF quoted us 65,000 RMB, which only accepts US dollar settlement, and must be paid in full before delivery. Lin Zheng said with a wry smile.
"So excessive?" Ambassador Lei's face changed, an automatic gearbox costs 65,000? How much does a car sell for? The gearbox is so expensive, how much will the cost of the whole vehicle be forced? With such a high cost, how much competitive advantage does it have in the market?
"Excessive? What's more, if there are special circumstances, they have the right to delay the delivery date, and the delay in the delivery date will not be compensated, and they must purchase the engine of their designated manufacturer, otherwise they will not sell it to us, you say, this is not equivalent to stuffing their own neck under someone's guillotine? We had to do it. Lin Zheng's smile became more and more bitter. r1152
