Prior to becoming the project manager of Tang Dynasty Investment Company, Zeng Nanxing worked as a senior consultant at HSBC in Hong Kong, responsible for the consulting and operation of clients' corporate finance, acquisitions, mergers and acquisitions and other businesses.

However, he has a shortcoming, in the information presented to Gu Chen by the headhunting company, the reason why he has not operated a famous case for more than 20 years is attributed to being too cautious and conservative, but it is this 'shortcoming' that finally made Gu Chen choose him among more than a dozen profiles.

For Gu Chen, he doesn't need a project director who is too radical and assertive, a person who can follow his wishes will be more suitable to be the project director of Tang Dynasty Investment, this trip to the UK, Zeng Nanxing's performance made him very satisfied, not only can fully follow his wishes, but also showed very good negotiation skills in the negotiation, and won more benefits for Gu Chen.

Looking at Zeng Nanxing, who was sitting in danger, Gu Chen said with a smile: "Nanxing, you have done a good job this time, and now you still need to worry more about such a big mess in the UK, and strive to get everything on the right track within two months." In order to make your management more justifiable, you will be promoted to the chief operating officer of Tang Dynasty Holdings from tomorrow, I think this position will give you more room to play your ability. ”

From the director of a project department of Tang Dynasty Investment Company, he was suddenly promoted several levels in a row, and directly became the chief operating officer of the parent company Tang Dynasty Holding Company, and the great joy made Zeng Nanxing unable to help but be happy: "Xie Lu Xie Chenshao's trust and promotion, I will never let you down." ”

The respect between Zeng Nanxing's eyebrows, which has been reused, seems to be a little stronger. took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Gu Chen with both hands, and said, "This is the restructuring plan of Jaguar, Land Rover, Rolls-Royce and Lamborghini, and Mr. Adelaide seems to have prepared it for a long time." After signing the contract in the afternoon, he gave it to me, I took a look, there is no problem with the general direction and the appointment and dismissal of personnel, but in the allocation of group resources, Mr. Adelaide is too inclined to Jaguar, will this affect the development of other brands of the group? ”

Parady? Adelaide, former president of Jaguar Motors, after Jaguar Motors was acquired by Gu Chen. Gu Chen not only continued to serve as Parady, but also appointed Parady as the president of Jaguar Motors Group, and his position remained unchanged. But the power in his hands is much greater than before.

Gu Chen took the book and closed it after only turning two pages: "It is what I mean to tilt resources to Jaguar, and my positioning of Jaguar Automobile Group is to become a world-class automobile group like Volkswagen and General Motors, so I selected Rolls-Royce on behalf of luxury cars, Jaguar on behalf of mid-to-high-end sedans, Lamborghini on behalf of supercars and Land Rover on behalf of off-road vehicles from many car brands in the UK, it can be said that these four brands include most of the models of private cars." Among these models, the most market demand is obviously mid-to-high-end sedans. But compared to Volkswagen's Volkswagen and Audi. GM's Cadillac, Chevrolet and other brands, Jaguar has a gap in both popularity and technical strength, so it is necessary for the group's resources to be tilted towards Jaguar. ”

"Of course, it is definitely not okay to tilt too much, this degree must be grasped well, and it must be tilted without affecting other brands."

Zeng Nanxing nodded and said, "I understand, I will focus on the automobile group." Do you have any other instructions? If not, I won't disturb your rest. ”

……

In the next few days, he inspected the companies he had acquired during his trip to the UK, including the former Jaguar Motors Company in Coventry, a major city in the British automotive industry. It was formerly the headquarters of Jaguar Motors and will later be the headquarters of Jaguar Motors. After his trip to Coventry, he was accompanied by Parady to the Rolls-Royce headquarters in Derby, where he visited the Rolls-Royce assembly plant, where he saw the legendary all-manual production process, and then to the R&D centre.

Rolls-Royce still has an independent R&D center, but after the group reorganization, Rolls-Royce's R&D center, Jaguar's R&D center and Land Rover's R&D center will be merged to strengthen the group's R&D capabilities, and only Lamborghini's R&D center will remain.

Rolls-Royce's R&D center is divided into several R&D rooms, including engine R&D room, body structure R&D room, new material R&D room, etc., because the researchers are working, so Gu Chen did not bother much, and he basically only stayed in each research room.

When he walked into the exterior and interior design room, the light inside was a little dim, and several people were looking at the slides on the wall, discussing while reading, and the content of the atmosphere was even a little intense, and the content of the slides was a sketch of a car, which should be the shape of a car being designed.

The sound of the door being opened and the sudden light coming on attracted the attention of everyone in the room. Hebrew immediately said, "Guys, the boss has come to inspect your work, and I think you might be able to be a little more enthusiastic." ”

Just like the treatment he received before, the people here are very welcome to Gu Chen, and they all stepped forward to shake hands with Gu Chen, and a young designer also hopes to get Gu Chen's signature, for this kind of small request, Gu Chen is naturally happy to meet it, and at the request of the young designer, he directly signed the signature on his coat.

Gu Chen knew very well that his popularity was inseparable from his scale in the UK and the $40 billion that was almost no different from lending to the British government, which was exactly what he wanted. After putting away the pen, he looked at the screen hanging on the wall and asked, "What are you guys discussing, and the differences seem to be great?" ”

A middle-aged man with a beard pointed to the sketch of the car on the screen, and said helplessly: "This is the shape of our latest design of the sedan, compared with the previous model, only the details have been modified, the change is not very big, some of us think it is qualified, but there are two young men who think that the design is too conservative, there is no new idea, in fact, it is only a mid-term modification now, and there is no need for much change." ”

After the bearded middle-aged man finished speaking, the young man who was looking for Gu Chen to sign just now immediately spoke: "We can't tie our imagination to the so-called mid-term remodel, if we can come up with a better design now, then we can also launch a new model next year." ”

Conservative and radical, two completely different attitudes. Gu Chen turned his gaze to the screen again, in his eyes, this car with typical Rolls-Royce characteristics was as ugly as it was, there was no beauty at all, he suddenly had an idea, looked around, and then saw him walk to a table and sit down, pick up the pencil on the sitting and sketch on the paper, everyone was attracted by his strange behavior, with doubts, they all gathered behind him, wanting to see what he was doing.

As time passed, a car that looked calm, atmospheric, beautiful, and with an extraordinary temperament gradually appeared on paper, and everyone's eyes became brighter and brighter, especially those designers, as if a pervert saw a peerless beauty.

At the moment when Gu Chen put down the pen, the young designer shouted: "Great, really great, this is the car I want to design, BOSS you are so powerful, it only took ten minutes, you actually only took ten minutes to complete an unprecedented creation, it is really incredible, worthy of being my idol, I have decided that from today onwards you will be my idol for life......

The chatter of the young designer was rudely interrupted by the bearded middle-aged man: "Okay Jack, please shut your mouth, or I dare not guarantee that I will not seal your mouth with duct tape the next moment." After making sure that the young designer had shut up, the bearded middle-aged man said apologetically to Gu Chen: "I'm sorry boss, he's always so annoying, but your design is really great, much better than ours." ”

Gu Chen drew on the paper a model launched after Rolls-Royce was acquired by BMW in his previous life - Rolls-Royce Phantom, it is this car that makes Rolls-Royce sit firmly on the throne of the world's top luxury car, if this car can be launched in advance in this era, then ......

He seemed to have seen the Rolls-Royce whirlwind that was sweeping the world, and it didn't just apply to Rolls-Royce, but also to Jaguar, Land Rover and Lamborghini, and he suddenly found that buying a car company was a really good idea.

"Rolls-Royce is a car brand that I like very much, otherwise I wouldn't have acquired it, before the acquisition I drew some design drawings, although it was just my boring work, but compared to this pencil sketch to be clearer and more standardized, and then I will bring the design drawings to you, I hope you can design a new top-of-the-line car based on these design drawings, I have already thought of the name, it is called the Phantom."

"Of course, I don't think Rolls-Royce should be limited to making the best luxury sedans, the four-door coupe that is more fun to drive and the two-door luxury sports car that is more focused on the young market are good developments, and you can develop different series based on the Phantom."

Abt? Hebrew's eyes lit up and he said, "I'm already glad Boss that you bought a Rolls-Royce, your idea is really great, the market for top-of-the-line luxury coupes and sports cars is still blank, and we should quickly seize this market." ”

Gu Chen smiled and looked at Paradi? Adelaide said: "I also drew some designs for Jaguar, Land Rover and Lamborghini, and I'll give them to you along with the Phantom's blueprints." (To be continued......)
