Oscar, who feels extremely miserable. Lafontaine forgot one thing in his heart: when will it be Volkswagen's turn to speak in the German automobile industry at this time? When did Daimler, which produces Mercedes-Benz cars, and Bavarian Maschinenfabrik GmbH, which produces BMW cars, agree to be represented by Volkswagen?

Of course, Secretary Geng Shaojie didn't know this, even if he knew it, he wouldn't care, at this moment, Mr. Geng was stunned at first, and then his heart was ecstatic, "Ah......"

He immediately knew about Oscar. What did La Fontaine say, Volkswagen's luxury car brand: Audi's top-of-the-line luxury sedan V8, which was only launched in 1988, a luxury sedan with a 3.6-liter and 4.2-liter V8 engine...... For the Audi V8, the FAW Group has been coveting it for a long time.

Strictly speaking, the Audi V8 should not be considered a true luxury car, but a quasi-luxury sedan with a test and validation nature, and the purpose of the launch is to test the acceptance of the car among consumers.

Volkswagen, which has been aiming for many years to produce cars that the general public can afford, is a little less confident about whether anyone will pay for the luxury cars it produces, but the high profits in the luxury car market have made Volkswagen drool, so the launch of the Audi V8 has become logical.

Of course, despite the fact that the Audi V8 is only a test car in Europe and the United States, it does not prevent Volkswagen from boasting the Audi V8 in the Republic market as a top-of-the-line luxury car comparable to the Mercedes-Benz W140 and BMWE34, that is, the familiar old generation Mercedes-Benz S series and BMW 7 series luxury models.

In the past two years, the country has also imported several batches of Audi V8, although as the first luxury car of Volkswagen to test the water, this identity is destined to have a lot of small problems, but for the Chinese people, who have not seen any good cars, the Chinese people have a high evaluation of this set of Audi car manufacturing skills in Dacheng, and the performance is quite good.

Equally. The Audi V8, which is positioned a notch higher than the Audi 100, has also made Volkswagen's partner in the Republic: FAW Group particularly covetous, and in order to improve its own technical content, they have repeatedly proposed to Volkswagen that they want to jointly produce the Audi V8 series models...... With the previous Audi 100 as the base, I think from a technical point of view, it should not be too difficult to produce...... However, the reaction of Volkswagen of Germany made the FAW Group particularly sad, and in the face of FAW's request, or pleading, Volkswagen did not even think about it, and directly rejected their request without hesitation.

In the words of one of Volkswagen's directors, who did not want to be named, it was, "What are you kidding?" You Chinese also deserve to produce Audi V8?! ”

I think of the FAW Group's several confrontations with Volkswagen on the Audi V8, and the repeated frustrations and humiliations of the FAW Group. Geng Shaojie's heart is really mixed, sad and happy.

However, Geng Shaojie is also an old official, although he is ecstatic in his heart, he knows better that the more he should be calm at this time. So it seems that his first reaction was not ecstatic, and his brows were slightly furrowed. "Mr. La Fontaine. I don't quite understand what you mean, are you kidding me? If I'm not mistaken, hasn't the Volkswagen Group already rejected our request for a joint production of the Audi V8? ”

After dealing with foreigners so many times and suffering so many losses, I can still learn a little lesson...... The calmer and calmer you are, the more benefits you can get from the Germans. This is the experience and lesson that Geng Shaojie has learned.

"Yes. Our previous assessment of your car market didn't mean that you don't need a higher-end model than the Audi 100, but things are always changing, aren't they? ”

Oscar. La Fontaine spread his hands, and the machine-like nature of the Germans made him embarrassed to lie. But after all, Volkswagen himself is not low-key, so he still subconsciously defended Volkswagen, "but that was the situation in previous years, but after several years of economic development in your country, after analyzing the economic situation of your country, the directors of Volkswagen believe that now your country's economy has developed to a level that can accept Audi V8, as an old friend of the Chinese people, Volkswagen believes that it is time to recommend the more advanced Audi V8 to successful people and politicians in your country." ”

Also an old friend of the Chinese? Geng Shaojie grinned in his heart: With friends like you, it can be regarded as a Chinese people who have fallen into blood mold, right?

What "it's time to recommend the more advanced Audi V8 to the successful people and politicians in your country", Geng Shaojie didn't believe this deceptive nonsense at all, he knew very well that the reason why Volkswagen was willing to use its flagship model Audi V8 to cooperate with him was not anything else, but because of the BMW of the Chrysler Automobile Company in Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Under the pressure of the Chrysler 300C, Volkswagen was somewhat unable to hold up and had to launch something that could be launched with BMW. The Chrysler 300C is a model that comes up with BMW. Chrysler 300C Opens to Compete for Market ...... After counting all the hole cards in Volkswagen's hands, an Audi V8 with a verification nature can be worthy of this task.

It is conceivable that without BMW. Chrysler 300C pressure, will Volkswagen team their Audi V8 with itself? With Volkswagen's stinginess and picking, that's obviously impossible.

When he realized this, Geng Shaojie even had a faint cry and laughter in his heart: Is this an indirect help from Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and Lin Hongfei?

Even more than a month ago, this news could make Geng Shaojie ecstatic and unable to sleep, but now, Geng Shaojie has a faint worry in his heart: Volkswagen's Audi V8 can really compete with BMW. Chrysler 300C?

In the international political arena, I have never heard of the dignitary using the Audi V8, but the Chrysler 300C is a special model designated by the US Secretary of State, Geng Shaojie really feels that the comparison between the two is not very large.

But in any case, if Volkswagen can really cooperate with FAW to produce Audi V8, this is a huge good news for FAW, and it is also a huge political achievement for him Geng Shaojie, this opportunity to produce luxury cars is not available at any time, and neither he nor FAW Group is qualified to refuse.

Thinking of this, he smiled and nodded, "Okay, it is our honor to be able to cooperate with Volkswagen in a higher and broader field, and it is also the original intention of our cooperation. ”

That being said, although Geng Shaojie elevated the matter of co-production of Audi V8 to a political level, he just did not say when the negotiations on the co-production of Audi V8 would begin.

As we said, after dealing with the Germans so many times and suffering so many losses, a fool can become a little smarter, let alone a deputy ministerial-level leader of a central enterprise like Geng Shaojie? Geng Shaojie firmly believes that if it drags on, the first automobile group will be able to get more benefits from Volkswagen.

Oscar. La Fontaine didn't care at all that Geng Shaojie dared not take the initiative to urge himself to start negotiating, he must have cared about it on weekdays, he enjoyed this pleasure with a faint sense of abuse, but now, he was going to burn his ass, he really didn't care, seeing Geng Shaojie pretending that he didn't mention the negotiation, he finally couldn't help it, "Mr. Geng, can you tell me, when will we start negotiating?" ”

Good Oscar. La Fontaine was not too stupid, he did not urge Geng Shaojie to start negotiating immediately...... However, he took the initiative to come to Geng Shaojie to talk about this matter, in fact, it was almost the same, and this action shows how anxious the public is now.

"Next week," Geng Shaojie frowned, as if he was thinking, thinking for a moment, Geng Shaojie said to Oscar. "I'm sorry, but I have a very important meeting to attend this week, so I'm going to send the notice down and put the negotiating team up and we'll start next week." ”

Putting it off until next week? Oscar. La Fontaine was a little unhappy, and he preferred to start in three days...... Volkswagen was ready, and they waited for the FAW Group to take the initiative and ask them Volkswagen to reward them with the Audi V8, the "crown diamond" of Volkswagen's product line.

But having been in the republic for so many years, Oscar. La Fontaine also knows that this country is a country rich in conferences, and it is said that even if the factory wants to buy an extra roll of toilet paper, it will have to be discussed at a meeting. La Fontaine was helpless, so he could only threaten Geng Shaojie with a few words, "Okay, next week will be next week, but Mr. Geng, I hope that the time is better determined and there will be no more changes...... You must know that I have made great efforts to convince the directors of the company, and the decision to cooperate with you in the production of the Audi V8 has been narrowly approved by the board of directors, and if your hesitation causes the loss of this cooperation, all the responsibility lies with you. ”

Poor Oscar. La Fontaine, even if he threatens Geng Shaojie now, he doesn't dare to use too strong words to stimulate, compared to before, it is really a heaven and an earth, it is really painful. (To be continued......)
