Chapter 1289 Only Eternal Interests (Three Changes, One Change)
"What's going on?" Lin Hongfei frowned suddenly, and turned his head to look at Anna: These people, didn't they eat on the road?
The city of Ufa is located in the Eastern European region, and from Ufa to here, it also went through a process of refueling, almost 10 hours, did these people not eat all the way?
Lin Hongfei's gaze was not only stern, but also a little angry: Anna, don't you know what I did when I invited these people here?
Not only Lin Hongfei, but also the Chinese high-level officials who came to greet these experts from the Vitesz Automobile Factory with Lin Hongfei were also very unkind, but the next moment, Anna's stomach also sounded with a "gurgling ......".
Well...... At this moment, everyone is surprised.
"Uh......" Anna blushed and was embarrassed, "we ate some light meals on the plane along the way......"
"A light meal on the plane?" Hearing Anna's answer, Lin Hongfei was instantly speechless: How good can the simple meal provided on the plane be? It's just a simple thing, and it's barely enough to cushion the stomach.
But no matter what, as long as it wasn't Anna deliberately mistreating these experts, Lin Hongfei turned sideways and said to Primakov, who was standing not far from him, "Mr. Primakov, I'll leave it to you here, entertain our guests, these are your future colleagues, I don't want to see them starving." ”
"Boss, don't worry, I will entertain them," Primakov hurriedly replied, as a relatively well-known figure in the automobile industry of the former Soviet Union, Primakov really found a few acquaintances in the crowd, and he shouted into the crowd, "Hey, Tuleyev." Is that you? I'm Primakov, remember me? ”
"Are you ......" Tuleyev, who was named by Primakov, looked at Primakov with a puzzled face, and exclaimed in disbelief, "God, Primakov, is it really you?" I can't believe I'm going to be able to meet you in a republic thousands of miles away! I've had people ask you about you, and I can't believe I'm going to meet you here......"
Looking at the two old friends who were pleasantly surprised together, Lin Hongfei and Rostock glanced at each other. Both of them laughed: they were already sure that these newcomers would be able to get to work at a very fast pace...... There's nothing more reassuring than seeing old friends in a new place.
As for the problem of Russians forming gangs in the company, Lin Hongfei never worried, and waited until they were familiar with the work. Naturally, arrangements will be made accordingly.

"Mr. Lin, the Board of Directors has agreed in principle to your proposal. We can cooperate in medium and large buses. But gentlemen of the Board of Directors are interested in wondering, why do you think that the car you design will have a significant share of the market? Ahtz stared at Lin Hongfei very seriously, waiting for Lin Hongfei's answer.
Following the last meeting, Volkswagen reacted unusually quickly, and soon the news came that if Lin Hongfei could produce convincing evidence that he could indeed design a beautiful enough bus. Then Volkswagen's pride in the quattro all-wheel drive technology can be handed over to Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd...... The premise is that there is enough convincing evidence.
Volkswagen would make such a condition, Lin Hongfei was not surprised at all, he reached out to open the folder on the table, took out a piece of paper from it and handed it over. "Here's a rendering of a bus I designed...... Well, just renderings of the appearance. ”
Facts have once again proved that as long as Lin Hongfei makes a move, the designed car will not be idle, and his eyes are just swept like this, and Ahz's eyes are not controlled by the eye muscles: God, what a beautiful three-axle large bus.
Luxury, magnificent, magnificent, graceful and luxurious...... When he saw this car for the first time, Ahertz knew that these words were specially used to describe this car, and compared with this car, especially the latte art design on the body, it was more like the finishing touch, so that the whole car instantly became smart, full of firepower, and those so-called luxury buses have become grass nests of plague chickens.
Obviously, in terms of exterior proportions, this is a large luxury bus with long-distance operation as the main purpose, this kind of large passenger car of more than 10 meters is very common in Europe, but what makes Aherz can't believe it is that at a glance at this rendering, he can already imagine what kind of reaction he will have when such a bus is placed in front of him: to take this car, even if the fare of this car is a little more expensive, he will also take this car.
Resisting the urge to snatch it in his heart, Ahertz slowly looked at the renderings, and finally had to nod and admit, "That's right, but as far as the renderings are concerned, this is indeed a very beautiful car, but Mr. Lin, an operating bus, not just a beautiful appearance, safety is the top priority, ride comfort, handling, and a sense of space are all places that need to be paid attention to......"
"Mr. Ahtz, I'm also a car designer," Lin Hongfei made a gesture and interrupted him with a smile, "That's right, as a large passenger car that carries many people at one time, all countries have strict regulations on the safety standards of buses, but I can say that as long as you design this car in strict accordance with the standards of various countries for buses, it is difficult to worry about the safety of the car...... Am I right? ”
Ahtz nodded a little embarrassedly: he was excited just now, and he really forgot this, if he strictly abides by the relevant safety regulations of various countries on large-scale commercial passenger cars, the safety of the car is really not a big problem, as for other aspects...... Lin Hongfei is also an internationally renowned car designer, how could he not consider these links?
Seeing Ahertz nodding, Lin Hongfei continued, "Because the bus is a commercial vehicle, it has become the top priority of vehicle design after removing the influence of safety factors, ride comfort, exterior and interior design, which can be seen with the naked eye and experienced by the body...... I also did some ...... for the interior renderings."
Speaking of this, Lin Hongfei didn't say anything anymore, he believed that Ahertz had been able to understand what he meant: How about it, are you sure about the cooperation between the two sides?
"Already have renderings?" Ahtz wasn't surprised. Since it is possible to make the exterior renderings, it is naturally not difficult to make the interior renderings, with Lin Hongfei's ability, this kind of thing is very simple, and he nodded briskly, "No problem, Mr. Lin's skills in car design, we have no doubts...... What are Mr. Lin's thoughts on specific operations? ”
Lin Hongfei smiled and did not answer, "Since Volkswagen has intentions for medium-sized and large buses. So you have some ideas, right? Why don't you talk about your plans first? ”
Cunning! Ahtz scolded in his heart, but he really couldn't scold it directly, in the Republic automobile market, Volkswagen did not take advantage of the competition of Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., this strength. Nature deserves the respect of Volkswagen, and now. Lin Hongfei took out another rendering that was enough to prove his strength. Volkswagen talks about its thoughts, and it is natural for it to ...... We can't see through so many hard goods, you don't say anything, right?
It's just that he scolded in his heart, but Ahz knew that he had to say this, otherwise how could the sincerity of cooperation be shown? Anyway, Ahtz has been rolling in the car industry for many years. Naturally, it is clear that Lin Hongfei just threw out a rendering, but this rendering means a huge fortune...... The design style of the mainstream European bus around 2000 has been 93 years old, can the effect be bad?
"The meaning of the board of directors of the company. It is our two sides to set up a bus research and development institution, this bus research and development organization by Volkswagen and your company jointly funded, both sides each contributed 50%, the developed model is jointly owned by the two companies, without the consent of the partner, the technology and design concept shall not be transferred to a third party. ”
"Mr. Lin's request for market division, our company has no opinion in principle, the automobile market of the Republic can be handed over to your company to operate, but the Asian market outside the Republic must be jointly ...... in the name of both parties."
"Including the European market?" Without waiting for Ahtz to finish speaking, Lin Hongfei asked.
"Of course not!" Aherz really wants to slap Lin Hongfei twice: the European market gives you? You're thinking too well, aren't you? "Volkswagen operates independently of the markets in the UK, France and Germany, and the European markets outside of the UK, France and Germany are jointly owned by both parties...... This approach is also followed by market segmentation in other regions. As for how to manage the enterprises in each region, we will discuss it at that time after confirming the willingness of both parties to cooperate. As for the manufacturing technology of large buses, in addition to the ...... jointly developed by our two sides"
Speaking of which, Ah Hez didn't say anything, and looked at Lin Hongfei with a smile.
"There are a lot of bus manufacturers in our country, although there may not be any core technology, but the bus is a large single box, but there are a lot of skilled masters," Lin Hongfei understood very well what Ahtz's eyes meant, this is waiting for himself to say, and immediately said, "My suggestion is to put this research and development institution in our country, acquire a bus manufacturing plant, and use this bus manufacturing plant as the team to set up this research and development institution." ”
"That's all?" Ahz frowned, "The level of bus manufacturing in your country ......"
It's not that Ahtz looks down on the Republic's automobile industry, it's really that the Republic's automobile manufacturing industry in this era can't be put on the table, Ahtz thought about it a lot, but he never thought that Lin Hongfei would actually play this calculation.
"What does Mr. Ahtz mean?" Lin Hongfei was not annoyed, and asked with a smile.
"A research institute in Europe and, if possible, an R&D facility in the United States."
"Yes," Lin Hongfei agreed without saying a word, "In addition, I have a suggestion, at the beginning of the establishment of the research and development institution, the development plan of RV, school bus, large commercial vehicle and other modified vehicles based on passenger car manufacturing should be proposed, even if it cannot be carried out synchronously, it must be orderly and planned." ”
"RV?" A hint of surprise flashed in Ahz's eyes, he really didn't expect this thing.
Not only did Ahertz not take into account, even the directors of the board of directors of Volkswagen did not take it into account, but as Lin Hongfei said, RVs are indeed an important modified car for passenger cars, throughout Europe, the total annual sales of various towed RVs and self-propelled RVs exceed 500,000 units, this is a huge market, although it is always a little abrupt to rush in, but this cake is too tempting, I didn't expect it before, but now that I think of it, I will definitely not be willing to try it. He nodded heavily, "Okay, I don't have a problem in principle." ”
"So, Mr. Ahtz, someone else should have come to talk to me about this from now on, right?" Lin Hongfei looked at Ahtz with a smile, he didn't believe that Volkswagen would hand over such a right to Ahtz again...... The Germans are not stupid.
"Of course, when I go back, I will report the results of today's meeting to the group headquarters, but in any case, this is our Volkswagen business." Ahtz smiled from ear to ear, this time the communication with Lin Hongfei was very smooth, there were almost no stumbles, no matter from which point of view, he was indispensable, no matter who was in charge of this matter in the future, the success of the cooperation was indispensable to his own credit, but the cooperation failed but it had little to do with himself, such a good thing, it was strange that Ahtz was unhappy.
Thinking of this, Ahertz couldn't help grinning, and sold his favor to Lin Hongfei by the way, "Mr. Lin, how much do you know about this little trouble that your company encountered in Lingnan City this time?" ”
Is this a favor for this? Ahtz wants to use this matter as a favor, but Lin Hongfei is not stupid, he will let this favor be sent out so easily, he glanced at Ahtz with a smile and shook his head, "Mr. Ahtz, this is not interesting, do you think I will not know that this matter has something to do with the Japanese?" ”
Lin Hongfei's attitude, Ahertz didn't care, shook his head with a smile, and his face was unfathomable, "Mr. Lin, I am not surprised that you know that the Japanese are Japanese, but you are not surprised why this happened so ingeniously?" ”
Lin Hongfei doesn't like the Japanese, and the Volkswagen people actually don't like the Japanese, and the reason is actually very simple: in Japan, Volkswagen cars can hardly be sold, so how can the Germans stand it? It would be great if Lin Hongfei and the Japanese could bite it. (To be continued......)
