François didn't pay much attention to the eastern market, so he just sent Xia Xiaohe over, and the heavyweights in the company didn't move at all, and now, although François didn't think so, he still had a smile on his face: "Mr. Qin, please continue." ”

"We only have an annual output of five or six hundred thousand cars in the East, and the total number of cars in our country is less than 10 million, but over the years, our country's automobile industry has developed rapidly, and I can responsibly tell you that our domestic automobile production will grow at a rate of more than 10 percent every year, and in ten years, the annual output of our cars in the East will exceed five million, or even tens of millions, think about it, how many tires do we need?"

"We are a populous country in the East, and after the economy develops, the car will definitely enter thousands of households, our car ownership will exceed 100 million, a car has four wheels, these wheels need to be replaced every five years, you think, what a big market this is? Population is our greatest strength! ”

"Whichever company obtains our eastern market, which company will become the strongest in the world!" Qin Feng said: "Airbus is planning to open a production line in our east, which is to see our booming air transport market, and our car market will only be bigger!" ”

Wang Fang was helping to translate on the side, and she was also sighing in her heart, Qin can always really flicker, and the car has entered thousands of households? How is that possible, it's good for ordinary people to go out and ride a motorcycle.

Even if Wang Fang grew up in the compound and has higher knowledge than ordinary people, he can't imagine what it would be like for every household to have a car, what is the current propaganda slogan? Upstairs and downstairs, TV and telephone, it would be nice to popularize these.

François listened very carefully, he didn't know much about the East, this was his first time here, what Qin Feng said, that is, at most, it was verified from Xia Xiaohe.

When his eyes looked at Xia Xiaohe, Xia Xiaohe nodded, she also hoped that her motherland could develop to that kind of scene, which was a good wish!

"At present, we can only produce low-end tires in China, and high-end tires have to be imported, which is a good opportunity for Michelin." Qin Feng said: "You can cooperate with us to build a joint venture factory to produce high-grade tires, as for sales? Don't worry, our group has a Mercedes-Benz heavy truck factory, with an annual output of 100,000 units, and will expand to one million units in the future. ”

The front is all flickering, and the back is real.

Mercedes-Benz heavy truck is a high-end brand, with the tires produced by the East itself, the pattern is smoothed out in a few months, and due to overload transportation, it often blows up the tires, but if you use Michelin tires, it can be used for two or three years, although the price is higher, it is also worth it!

An ordinary rear eight-wheeled truck needs ten tires, and the factory is equipped with Michelin, which is a good horse with a good saddle. There is a demand for millions of pieces a year, which is enough for Michelin to set up a factory in the East!

"If you don't take this opportunity, you're going to give it to someone else." Qin Feng had something to say: "Ms. Xia Xiaohe returned to China and got off the plane, and she met us, we are all good friends, and you are so sincere, I am more inclined to cooperate with Michelin." ”

Thinking of Bridgestone, François immediately frowned, he must not let Bridgestone sit big!

"At the same time, we are still producing landing gear for Airbus, we will strive to increase the proportion of landing gear localization, the landing gear steel is already using the steel produced in our East, the tires of the landing gear, can also be matched with the tires produced in our East, if you want to set up a factory, then you can first set up a tire production line for trucks and airplanes, of course, we can also put in place at one time, even the production line of car tires has also been set up, we are producing Audi in the East, producing Santana, these vehicles should be equipped with Michelin tires. Together, the annual output would be at least two million. ”

François was completely moved.

"If so, what percentage will we hold each?" François asked.

"Forty-nine percent for you, fifty-one percent for us."

François shook his head: "No, no, this is not possible, we ask for absolute control, we want at least ninety percent control." ”

Michelin is a share-based company, François is an unlimited shareholder, can easily control the company's internal decisions, no company's board of directors will interfere, there is no one above his head, he is completely in charge.

Speaking of which, he and Qin Feng are very similar, they both have the absolute right to speak, of course he doesn't want to take only 49% of the shares, if it is not to take care of the face of the Orientals, he doesn't even want to give 10% of the shares.

"Then you won't be able to do business in our East." Qin Feng said: "This ratio is a national regulation. ”

One sentence made the other party lose his temper.

Each country has its own national conditions, just like Ah San, investment can be done, can not be taken away, all wealth has to stay in Ah San, in contrast, the Oriental system is already quite enlightened.

At the beginning, the first joint venture project was Cherokee, and the proportion of shares of both parties was determined at that time.

However, these are talking about state-owned enterprises, and Qin Feng, a private enterprise, did not make it clear to the superiors what the proportion of shares in the joint venture, but he just wanted to use chicken feathers as an arrow, so that foreigners had to agree to this share plan.

"Of course, there is an old saying in our East, rules are dead, people are alive, as long as you use your brain, there can still be other ways."

"Mr. Qin, please speak."

"For example, you can license production, you provide the technology, we will produce, and the products produced will be labeled with your Michelin brand, and you will be given a share of the profits from Michelin."

This is the famous OEM scheme, in later generations, many products have OEM products, but the quality is far from the level of the original, staged the story of Li Kui and Li Ghost.

François shook his head: "No, no, this plan definitely doesn't work." ”

What they are pursuing is absolute control, what is OEM? There is no share at all, it's just a sale of a target, how can this work!

There was silence in the room again.

François drank his coffee quietly, and when he finished drinking a cup of coffee, he spoke again: "It takes a lot of money to build a joint venture, and you want 49 percent, so you have to invest according to this proportion to build a factory with an annual output of 2 million tires, and the investment needs at least 500 million US dollars, do you have that much money?" ”

Sure enough, he still regressed!

"Funds are not a problem for us, we have a joint venture with Mercedes-Benz, and Airbus, we have never worried about the problem of funds, our Pacific Group is different from other enterprises, our products sell well all over the world, 255 million funds for us, is a drizzle."

Mr. Qin bragged! Wang Fang secretly sighed in her heart, the Pacific Group can make money, but it can also spend money, and they don't even have five million US dollars in their accounts now, and the investment of more than 200 million yuan is sky-high.

"Mr. Qin, it is a big project to set up a factory in the East, we need to study it carefully, and then we will go to various places to investigate, and we will also conduct project demonstration, which may take a while." François said seriously.

"Well, in a month, we're waiting for good news." Qin Feng said.

After a month, you don't cooperate, and we'll go to Bridgestone! Qin Feng played this set of bidding tricks to the fullest.

François nodded, this matter is over, wait, he seems to have forgotten something? When you come to the conference room to negotiate, you want to talk about silent tires, right?

"Mr. Qin, the project about silent tires...... Can you tell us more about that? ”

"The noise of tires comes from two aspects, on the one hand, the external pattern of the tire is in contact with the road surface, and the friction produces noise, and on the other hand, the inside of the tire is a cavity structure, and the resonance will bring noise, and we are developing a new technology that can reduce these noises, so that the tires become quiet and comfortable, and at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, the noise in the car can be reduced by about 10 decibels."

"Can you elaborate on that?"

"We're also working on this, and when we talk about cooperation again in a month's time, we can show the results of this tire."

The implication is also obvious: this technology can't be shown to you casually, and when we are sure that we want to cooperate, we will talk about it carefully. If we don't cooperate, the technology will be sold to Bridgestone!

François smiled: "Okay, Mr. Qin, I understand what you mean, ...... next"

"It's almost time, I'll take everyone to dinner. After eating, I will take you to our factory, where the landing gear production plant is finished, and you can go back to the capital to see our Mercedes-Benz heavy truck factory. ”

"Okay."

Just when François and others were visiting the East, mainland France, Airbus, landing gear test aircraft.

Boom!

The platform under the landing gear jerked upwards and came into contact with the landing gear, and data appeared on the computer monitor next to it.

"A hundred tons of impact, the landing gear is working properly!"

The maximum take-off weight of the Airbus A320 is less than 100 tons, and the landing will only be lower, so its main landing gear will share the impact force of up to 40 or 50 tons when it is in contact with the ground, but the limit test must be higher.

"Adjust to one hundred and twenty tons!" The French engineer in charge on the side said.

"So big? Is it necessary? The landing gear produced by this oriental material is fully up to standard, and even better! ”

"Yes, yes."

Boom!

With a force of one hundred and twenty tons, the landing gear is still intact, and there is no visible trace of damage.

"Sent for eddy current testing and ultrasonic testing."

"Yes."

Soon, the test results came in.

"There were no cracks in the inside of the landing gear, it was as good as ever, it was simply the best landing gear ever!"

Previously, they had conducted a thousand fifty-ton shock tests, carried out fatigue life tests, and later increased tonnage tests, and it turned out that this landing gear could withstand the test perfectly!

A smile appeared on the face of the French engineer: "Yes, the best landing gear, it is cheap, inform the East, in the future, the landing gear produced in the East will be all made of steel produced in the East!" Also, the landing gear of the A340 will be trial-produced next, and their steel will also be used! ”

Reduced costs to compete with Boeing and McDonnell Douglas! If they set up a factory in the East, the cost should be lower and their competitiveness will be stronger!

Orient.

Qin Feng took François and others, who had lunch, to the landing gear production plant, where various machine tools and equipment were buzzing and rotating, and the landing gear blank entered from one end of the production line, and when it arrived at the other end, it became a complete landing gear.

The whole process almost does not require people to do too much operation, just staring, most of the processing is carried out automatically, which makes people look at it with a pleasing feeling.

"I really didn't expect to see such an advanced production workshop in the East." François was very emotional: "It is simply synchronized with our Europe. ”

"Yes, our Pacific Group is aiming for the high-end." Qin Feng said: "We either don't do it, or we do it best." ”

"Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin!" At this moment, Belvesi came over: "I just received news from France, the landing gear made of your own 300m steel has passed the test, and after the inventory of imported 300m steel is used up, the remaining landing gear is all made of 300m steel produced by you, and the Airbus 340 under development also plans to use your steel, I hope you will effectively ensure the quality of the steel, if it does not reach the same quality of the sample, we will ask for high compensation." ”

"300m steel? Isn't there only a few manufacturers that can produce this kind of steel? The East can actually produce the same steel? François was shocked.

"Yes, not only can it be produced, but the quality is better than that of other manufacturers." Qin Feng boasted: "Moreover, the price is still cheap, and we are serious in the pursuit of high-quality products." In the future, the aircraft tires we produce will definitely not be worse than those of foreign counterparts. ”

François was silent for a moment, and thought about Qin Feng's proposal just now, if a joint venture company is established in the East, it will be beneficial to Michelin from any point of view, and a partner like the Pacific Group, since it has been encountered, it cannot be missed!

In the afternoon of this day, after visiting the landing gear factory, Qin Feng accompanied the French back to the capital and sent them to the Jianguo Hotel.

"Ms. Xia, you can first introduce to you the specific situation of the East and the Pacific Group." François named him.

"I'll talk about the Pacific Group first, this group is very strong, this time last year, it was only producing shoes, but they creatively invented outdoor mountain boots, the German Wehrmacht is purchasing them in large quantities, and now it is said that other armies in Europe have also taken a fancy to it, and they have made the smallest shoes the strongest, and I have studied the rubber used in their shoes, which is specially improved and has good performance."

"Who changed it?"

"Judging from the situation at the time, it can only be changed by Mr. Qin, and almost all the subsequent projects are promoted by Mr. Qin, this Mr. Qin is simply a genius, he invented self-heating instant noodles, and now it is still high-end food, he came up with an advanced bulletproof insert, David has one, and it is said that the US military is also equipped in large quantities......"

Xia Xiaohe also came to the East before he heard about this, and the more he inquired, the more he felt that Qin was always a good person.

"At present, there are two main factories under the Pacific Group, one is in Jincheng, where the steel mill, die forging press and landing gear factory are located, and the other is in the suburbs of the capital, where the motorcycle and automobile factories are located, and we will see it tomorrow."

"In just one year, he built so many factories? Where does his money come from? An executive asked.

"I don't know, the profitability of the Pacific Group is very strong, and at the same time, Mr. Qin has maintained an extremely cordial relationship with many big figures in the East, especially the military bigwigs, and he can even get a place in the military academy."

The sunspots I met last time were clearly because of Qin Feng's relationship! Thinking of this, Xia Xiaohe thought of He Liang again, and her mood rippled.

"The East is a special country, if you want to do business here, you must find the right object, when KFC wanted to open the Oriental market, I don't know who to find a joint venture, and then the Oriental government found the Capital Animal Husbandry Bureau and the Capital Tourism Bureau to take shares, it can be regarded as open, now KFC is very popular in the East, fried chicken nuggets are 2.5 yuan a piece, and customers can queue for two hours."

François nodded, he understood what Xia Xiaohe meant: it is useless to come to the East to do business, it is useless to worry about the number of shares, in the market of the East, whoever comes first will get an advantage!

"I'll take a look at Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks tomorrow, since these giants are cooperating with the Pacific Group, then there should be no big problem with our cooperation." François made up his mind that he would not have to wait a month, he would be able to decide tomorrow!

Just when they were discussing, Qin Feng took Wang Fang back to his residence, anyway, the two families lived opposite the door, which was very convenient, but Wang Fang went home, which was more like a visit.

"Mr. Qin, the silent tire technology you talked about today ......" Walking to the door, Wang Fang suddenly thought of something and asked.

"This technology is very simple, put a layer of sponge on the inside of the tire, and then pick a few pieces of rubber on the outside."

In the era of fuel vehicles, the engine has a buzzing sound, the gearbox, drive shaft, etc. will make sound, so the noise of the tires is not important, in the era of electric vehicles, even if the motor is not loud, and in order to reduce air resistance, the shape has also been optimized by the wind tunnel, so that the noise of the tires is obvious.

How to solve this problem?

In order to play high-end, electric vehicle companies must eliminate this noise, and the solution is very simple, stick a sponge inside the tire!
