In November, Volkswagen and BMW finally settled the battle for Rolls-Royce. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

For this seemingly happy result, Lin Zheng knows that this is just the beginning of the next round of tearing war between BMW and Volkswagen, but this has nothing to do with himself, in this tearing war, Tesla Motors finally completed the acquisition of Cosworth with ICQ shares worth $65.8 million.

Cosworth's old owner: Vickers Group is very satisfied with this deal, because according to the original negotiation regulations, the contract ICQ's stock price is based on the stock price of ICQ on the day of listing, and nearly 2 months after listing, ICQ's stock price has soared from $32.75 at the time of listing to $48.63, an appreciation of almost 50%, which also means that Tesla Motors paid $65.8 million worth of ICQ shares to Vickers Group. Now the actual value has reached nearly $100 million, and it is believed that ICQ's stock price will inevitably get higher and higher as time passes.

The Vickers directors were sure they had a good deal.

Compared with the satisfied Lin Zheng, BMW and Volkswagen were not so happy, and BMW, which was extremely disappointed by the Vickers Group's decision to sell Rolls-Royce to Volkswagen, threatened to stop supplying V12 engines to Rolls-Royce, setting off a new round of tearing war.

There is still a tear between Volkswagen and BMW, and ♂ there is no Bill who can succeed in pitting Lin Zheng. Ford, after seeing that nothing could be done, finally died completely. Songkou said that if Lin Zheng is willing to cooperate with Ford in all aspects of hybrid vehicles, Ford can transfer the Focus chassis to Jiangbei Alto.

Sounds like a good thing. can see the information sent back by the negotiation team, how Lin Zheng thinks something is wrong. Finally, when he saw a certain point in time, Lin Zheng was angry and slapped the table hard: "Where is this Fox, this is Fox's father at all!" ”

Ford Motor made a fool of itself during the negotiations, and transferred Focue's predecessor model, the sixth-generation Escort, which is the closest blood relationship to Focus, as Focus to Lianchuang Technology.

On a case-in-the-art basis, the technology of the sixth-generation Escort is also quite good, after all, it was Ford's flagship model in the compact sedan segment from 1995 to 1998, if Ford had said at the beginning that it would not have been willing to transfer the Focus, but only the Escort. Lin Zheng wouldn't be so angry, but while Ford was talking about Focus with himself, he was fooling himself with the technology of the previous generation, was he a fool?

Lin Zheng was very angry, Tan Na was even more angry, in her opinion, this was simply Ford Motor blatantly bullying herself by relying on herself as a century-old factory, and she almost flipped the table in anger: "Let the negotiation team withdraw!" If I don't talk to Ford, what's the big deal, I don't believe there is no such butcher as them. We're going to have to eat hairy pigs! ”

"But ......" Lin Huijun hesitated: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Tan, escort is also Ford's housekeeping model a few years ago, are we ......?"

didn't wait for Lin Huijun to finish speaking. Tan Na said coldly: "Escort is Ford's housekeeping model in the past few years, and hybrid is our housekeeping ability in the next few decades. Or do you think that Lianchuang Technology's hybrid technology dominates Ford's backward technology in previous years? ”

That's a serious accusation. Lin Huijun's face turned pale, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Mr. Tan." That's not what I meant......"

"Of course Mr. Tan knows that you don't mean that," Lin Zheng took over. At the same time, he looked around the office, and while he was making a slight explanation for Tan Na's words, he was also knocking on everyone in the conference room: "You may not think like this in your heart, but please ask yourself, do you have this kind of idea in your subconscious, thinking that we can exchange our tomorrow's things for other people's yesterday's things?" Have it? I think everyone knows that. ”

Lin Zheng's words can be said to have touched the hearts of many people, and many people in the conference room bowed their heads in shame.

Perhaps it is the mind formed from childhood to adulthood that "our Chinese things are not as advanced as foreigners", and indeed many people do not think about what their company has, just like Ford's proposal to exchange the technology of the sixth-generation escort car for the hybrid technology of Lianchuang Technology, many people not only do not feel that they have suffered a loss, but even feel that they have made a big profit.

Although they don't have the idea of selling the company's interests in exchange for anything, this subconscious in their hearts will damage the company's interests at some point.

The drum does not need a hammer, they are all old people who have worked in the company for many years, and what everyone is afraid of is not to make mistakes, because there is always a chance to make up for mistakes, but not to know where they have made mistakes. Everyone who realized that something was wrong with them immediately came up with a new set of plans: the core idea of this plan is very clear, that is, to make Ford clearly understand, don't look at you are also one of the shareholders of Tesla Motors, but it does not mean that Tesla Motors must go through your Ford sales channels to do well.

At the time when everyone was discussing hotly, Sun Yafang, who had been frowning and thinking about this matter, suddenly said: "The network in the United States is very developed, and the target customers of SmartCity have a high acceptance of the network, can we consider opening an online sales channel?" ”

"Selling cars online?" There was an exclamation in the conference room.

Even if their boss owns the world's hottest Internet company, and now Western companies have begun to consider opening an online car booking model, ICQ is in full swing to develop its own C2C network mall in the eBay model, but Sun Yafang's proposal is too shocking, they don't even have to think about it, a lot of problems are in front of them: don't go through the traditional sales channels, where do customers pick up the car? After mentioning the car, how to solve the after-sales problem in the future? This new sales model, even if it is as open as the old United States, they may not be able to adapt to it......

Lin Zheng thought about it with great interest, and said to Sun Yafang: "Tell me what you think." ”

Sun Yafang's idea has obviously just been formed, so she said it very slowly, obviously improving her thinking while talking: "My idea is to let Tesla Motors cooperate with ICQ, and with the help of ICQ's credibility, through online car ordering and offline car pick-up, online sales ......"

"But where does the owner pick up the car? How to solve the after-sales problem? Before Sun Yafang finished speaking, someone immediately asked a very sharp, but unavoidable question.

"My initial idea is to work with NAPA!" Sun Yafang said.

“napa？”

“napa……”

NAPA? Lin Zheng's eyes lit up: Yes, why didn't I think of NAPA?

In the United States, NAPA is a well-known chain car maintenance brand in the United States, is the abbreviation of the "National Auto Parts Alliance", the chain car maintenance brand that started with auto parts, in the automotive aftermarket, both in terms of scale and influence are unparalleled, its large and small scale chain maintenance shops as many as 10,500, in 50 states in the country, customers can generally easily find NAPA chain stores along the highway and near their homes, The United States even compared NAPA to KFC and McDonald's in the automotive after-sales service industry, which means that it can be seen anytime and anywhere, which shows the great coverage and influence of NAPA in the United States.

Because NAPA provides standardized professional services, many Americans often choose a NAPA store near them for general maintenance.

Some media have even commented that in a sense, the United States has been able to develop into the world's largest automobile country today, in addition to the great contributions of the three major companies of General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler in automobile manufacturing, NAPA, the leader of the automobile chain industry, has also made great contributions.

"My idea is that we have signed a cooperation agreement with NAPA, and the smart car booked by the customer through the network will be delivered directly to the customer's nearest NAPA chain store, and at the same time, after-sales service and maintenance can also be carried out in all NAPA chain stores, which is officially recognized by Tesla Motors......" Sun Yafang's thinking became clearer and clearer, and in the back, her eyes had begun to burn, obviously she already had a clear idea.

"But as the largest auto repair chain in the United States, this negotiation is difficult, right?" Someone raised a very realistic question: "And as the largest chain car repair brand in the United States, the relationship between NAPA and Ford is definitely good, will they fight Ford for us?" ”

"This is indeed a problem, and it is not impossible that the relationship between NAPA and Ford is not ordinary," Sun Yafang did not deny this, "but no matter what, I think it is a more feasible plan, much stronger than the current attachment to Ford." ”

Speaking of this, Sun Yafang looked at Lin Zheng with a smile: "As for how to persuade NAPA to cooperate with us, it depends on what kind of conditions Mr. Lin can give to convince NAPA and the ability of our negotiators, and maybe NAPA is now seeking new changes?" ”

Yes, the boss supports everyone, isn't it just for everyone to work, otherwise it would be difficult to be an uncle? (To be continued.) )
