"Director Wang, what do you think?" Chen Zhiwen said with a smile, this kind of thing, it is inconvenient for him to say it directly in the face of the big leaders in the country, this is a surprise attack, and it is impossible for the big leaders to make a decision immediately, therefore, through the people below, inform the news to the top, and then discuss it above the mainland, which is the most appropriate way, and the same is true for Midea's super factory.

"I can't make decisions about this matter, but I personally welcome AMC to continue to invest in China, and I think the central government should have the same attitude." Director Wang hurriedly replied, thinking that he was just accompanying Hong Kong businessmen on a circle, it was just a very simple matter, and he didn't expect that there would be such exciting news.

In fact, in China, after the establishment of SAIC Volkswagen, it does not mean that other car brands will not be introduced, such as Guangdong Province, which is in contact with the Peugeot brand in France.

The role of sedans, who is not clear now? Especially after the change in recent years, the domestic economy is obviously much stronger than before, and the government departments of some big cities also have plans to buy cars, which were imported in the past, and now there are Yanjing Jeep and SAIC Volkswagen, so in the case of saving foreign exchange, they must buy these two, and these local officials also choose more cars than jeeps through the actual ride, this logic is naturally very simple, and the comfort is different.

This originally made the leaders of Yanjing City a little distressed, and the jeep also has its own advantages, but at present, the largest group of domestic car buyers is the government department, and the loss of such a large market will have a great impact on the employment of Yanjing City, but the wood has become a boat, so there is no way.

But if AMC also intends to introduce a car production line and introduce American cars to Yanjing production, won't it have the capital to compete with SAIC Volkswagen? Although they are all the same at the central level, they have a huge impact on the local government.

"Okay, then it's hard for Director Wang to report to the top, the conditions of cooperation, just imitate the previous jeep model, and discuss other details." Chen Zhiwen said again.

There has already been a cooperation, before the legal department, the commercial department, the technical quality department has been talking with the mainland for a long time, basically everything that should be talked about has been negotiated, anyway, in the next few decades, the joint venture law of the automotive industry has basically not changed, so what should be done now, quick success, is the best choice.

Some other details of the problem, there are also some in the past two years, the two sides in the Yanjing City cooperation period of the contradictions and disputes, etc., can also be optimized in this negotiation, and which car to introduce, also need to be decided by both parties, although the scale of AMC in the United States is far less than the other three giants, but there are still a few cars.

No matter how much you want to save time, you also need to set all the details before it is possible to cooperate, but it will definitely be much faster than when the jeep was introduced before, and it is more convenient that the supply chain does not need to start from scratch, and even when the car project comes to Yanjing, more orders can further cultivate the industrial chain, and it will be more than one stone.

This is also the basic embodiment of the difficulty of the early stage of large industries such as the automobile industry, as long as the front of the industrial chain and other issues to make a little achievement, then the back investment is much simpler, even if the model is different, but can do steering wheel, brakes, seats and other parts of the company, can also do other models, and even some parts are shared.

"Yes, Chen Sheng can invest in Yanjing City, and we must welcome it very much." Director Wang said with a smile, strictly speaking, he is actually the leader of the central government, but he has been in Yanjing, so he naturally hopes that foreign capital will give priority to Yanjing when there is a large investment, after all, if the economy of Yanjing City rises, it will also have the most direct benefits for them.

Especially Chen Zhiwen in front of him, his industries involve food, electronic appliances and automobile industries, and the scale is very large, and it is an industry with almost no pollution, who doesn't love this? You must know that Yanjing City, as the capital, is very strict in the selection of factories, and factories that are a little polluting cannot be wanted, which also leads to many large-scale projects that can only be moved to other places.

"Okay, Mr. Tian will stay in Yanjing for a while, and during this time, he will communicate with the Yanjing Municipal Government on behalf of AMC." Chen Zhiwen said.

"Director Wang, this is my business card." Tian Xuecheng also immediately handed over his business card, in fact, 4 years ago, when the original jeep was introduced to Yanjing, he was also responsible for the initial negotiations, and then he went back to the United States almost later, and then the Yanjing Jeep was established, and he didn't ask again.

However, on Yanjing's side, in 4 years, many people's positions may have moved a little, and he doesn't know Director Wang in front of him, and the negotiations in the future may or may not be old acquaintances.

"Okay, here's my business card." Director Wang also handed over his business card, in fact, business cards were not popular in China before, but after opening up to the outside world, they needed it, and these officials also printed some, and sometimes they also needed to give it to foreign businessmen.

"Okay, Director Qian, let's go and see Wuling, shall we?" Chen Zhiwen also said that the process and time required for the introduction of cars may not be lower than that of Midea's super factory, so it is just revealing the news now, there is no need to discuss this matter too much now, he only needs to express this willingness to the mainland side, and the follow-up will naturally have professionals to be responsible.

"Okay, Mr. Chen, Mr. Tian, Director Wang, please come here." Director Qian hurriedly said.

Under the leadership of Director Qian, everyone came to a workshop in the northeast corner of Yanjing Jeep, with the words "trial production workshop" written above the gate of the workshop, and a security guard guarding the door.

Seeing the factory director coming, the security guy immediately saluted and quickly opened the floodgates.

"So well guarded?" Director Wang also asked with some curiosity.

Director Qian said with a smile: "This is the first model of car currently developed by AMC in China, and it is a little stricter, but also for secrecy, and no one else needs to come here." ”

"The first self-developed car?" Director Wang's heart moved, he did hear that AMC has a unique place in China, which SAIC Volkswagen does not have, that is, AMC will be in China, by the foreign and mainland engineering teams to work together to design a new model, it is said that this matter has also attracted the attention of some international car companies. However, what kind of model, whether it is similar to a Jeep or a sedan, outsiders do not know.

"Guys, move forward." The security guy hurriedly said, and at this moment, a few people also came to the trial production workshop and said, "Director Qian, I'm sorry, I was busy just now, and I didn't receive your notice." ”

The few people who came were the senior executives in charge of the Wuling project, and they actually knew that the big boss was coming, but they didn't expect to come to their side so soon.

"This is Chen Sheng, Chen Sheng, this is ......" Director Qian introduced each other, and they knew each other.

"Let's go see the prototype first." Chen Zhiwen said that this time to Yanjing Jeep, it doesn't matter what production line to see, these things are removed from the original old production line in the United States, after refreshing, repairing, replacing and then transported to the mainland for recommissioning, basically there will be no problems, and even some of them have been appropriately changed according to the domestic situation, such as some locations, in the United States is the need to use some equipment, but the domestic labor cost is low, and the employment may be more cost-effective, so it is canceled, which can minimize the cost and drive employment.

Of course, many jobs involving heavy lifting are still based on equipment, and it is important to increase the number of jobs, but you can't use labor for everything.

And the car that has been produced for several years in the past two years, although there are some minor problems, but there are basically no major problems, which is enough to confirm that there are no major problems in terms of quality.

Since the establishment of Yanjing Jeep in the mainland in 81 years, when the factory foundation has not yet started, the Wuling project has already started, and hundreds of engineers at home and abroad have begun to design this Wuling Light car according to the general shape and environmental requirements provided by Chen Zhiwen.

Under the leadership of insiders, Chen Zhiwen and others walked into the interior of the trial production workshop, and along the way, Chen Zhiwen saw a lot of semi-finished parts of the car, such as the chassis with tires, the body, the door, etc., which were very similar to the Wuling he conceived.

A few minutes later, everyone came to a corner of the workshop, and more than a dozen "vans" with similar shapes like those of later generations appeared in front of them.

"How tall is this chassis?" Chen Zhiwen's first concern is the chassis, because, at present, whether it is the mainland or Southeast Asia, where there may be a market, the road conditions are not very good, and the passability must be strong, otherwise it will only stop when it encounters a bad road.

"210mm, which is as tall as the Jeep chassis, and we also make full use of the Jeep's existing parts, but in terms of technical specifications, it will be a little worse, which can reduce costs." Director Qian explained.

"Well, what about the engine? Using the same technology that Honda bought? Chen Zhiwen asked again.

Any car company, even if it is Volkswagen Toyota, will definitely share parts that can be shared, for example, many parts on Volkswagen cars in later generations will have parts with the Audi logo, and parts with the Volkswagen logo will also be on Audi cars, but the technical standards may be completely different, after all, the price difference is very large.

At present, there are not enough AMC models, and if other car companies are acquired in the future, or their own research and development, it will gradually be developed in this direction.

"Yes, Honda's engine and gearbox are also matched, this set of technical power is not very strong, but it is very fuel-efficient, in line with our Wuling positioning." Director Qian said.
