Volkswagen Group Headquarters, Wolfsburg, Germany.
In order to deal with the Huaxia Automobile Group headed by Geely, which is about to enter the European market, this world’s leading auto giant is holding a high-level meeting.
After listening to the analysis of his think tank, President Tees put his hands on his chin and fell into deep thought for two minutes. No one spoke, waiting for the speech of the President.
The crease on his forehead suddenly picked up, Tees shook his head, and said in a deep voice: “I always feel that things should not be that simple. BYD and Great Wall will use Volvo’s distribution system to enter Europe. This step is really good. Very ingenious.”
“After all, Volvo is the fourth largest luxury car manufacturer in the world, second only to Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and our Audi. The marketing and after-sales systems are very mature, so we can’t help it.”
Tice’s concerns are of course justified. Geely’s boss Li is really very smart. His decision to acquire Volvo back then laid a deep foundation for Huaxia Auto’s global expansion.
Although in this world, luxury car manufacturers BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi all have an annual sales volume of around 2 million vehicles, while Volvo, which ranks fourth, is considered a luxury car, but its annual sales volume is only 700,000 About one car, far behind the German Big Three.
However, Geely Group obtained the coveted global distribution and after-sales service system through Volvo.
Without this global sales network, no matter how rich and efficient Geely is, it would take more than ten years to weave a global sales network and train tens of thousands of employees.
The think tanks did not take seriously President Tice’s concerns. Electric vehicles are a highly system-integrated industry. And in terms of electronic control, they are really strong, no one can match them.
But apart from the electrical system, the tires, shock absorption system, brake system, chassis system, transmission system, safety system, motor drive system, and even the interior design and materials produced by Huaxia still lag behind the global mainstream. factory.
“President, don’t worry, with their strength, they are not enough to pose a fatal threat to us. I believe that in the end, those Chinese people will understand that there is no other way except cooperation. “
“At that time, Star Technology will take out battery and electronic control technology, and we will take out brakes, shock absorption, chassis, assembly, and motor technology. We will build a joint venture factory, each with 50% of the shares, just like FAW Wouldn’t it be great for Audi and SAIC Volkswagen to continue working together to make money.” A think tank said confidently.
President Tice nodded slightly. Cooperation is of course the best choice. FAW-Audi and SAIC-Volkswagen are both examples of success.
You must know that before Audi entered China, it was beaten by BMW and Mercedes.
Attention to the Huaxia market is the root of the rise of the public. In contrast, although Huaxia has been allocated shares, it has lost its brand. Those stupid Huaxia people, how do they understand the importance of a brand? A successful brand, It takes hundreds of years of hard work.
Everyone in China now knows about Audi, but who remembers the China No. 1 Automobile that once had a glorious history?
At this moment, the meeting was interrupted suddenly. Tees’s secretary, Miss Marshall, walked into the conference room with a panicked expression, and reported an unbelievable news to everyone.
A few seconds later, everyone in this conference room turned pale in surprise, and President Tice even jumped up and shouted hoarsely: “What are you talking about? Huaxia has decided not to cooperate with us anymore Already!”
Miss Marshall was taken aback by Tice’s strong reaction. She took two steps back, opened the folder in her arms, took out a fax, and whispered: “This is our Huaxia branch. The news I learned came from the speech of the old general in a high-level meeting in Huaxia.”
“Read it!” Teece said sullenly.
Miss Marshall swallowed a mouthful of spit and began to read word by word.
When Miss Marshall finished reading the fax, everyone finally understood that they ignored a group of important people in Huaxia, the soldiers.
Not everyone can’t let go of the interests of the joint venture. This desperate cooperation was facilitated by the military. In the end, Chang’an Group, a subsidiary of Bingzhuang, took the lead in signing this important alliance agreement.
At this point, the China Automobile Alliance has gone through hardships and finally turned out.
“What about FAW-Audi? What about FAW-Volkswagen?” Teess asked with trembling hands, “That’s an annual production capacity of several million vehicles and a profit of hundreds of billions of yuan!”
“Tell me this is not true! How dare they put so much money away? FAW-Volkswagen alone can manufacture 1.7 million cars a year, creating a huge profit of 75 billion yuan!”
Miss Marshall shook her head helplessly, but did not speak, and there was a sigh in the conference room.
The news of the establishment of the three major automobile groups quickly caused an uproar all over the world. When the media reported this incident, they generally used tragic adjectives such as the broken arm of a strong man.
The tragedy is of course very tragic. The production capacity of 17 million joint venture brands was directly cut off, which is equivalent to cutting off ten SAIC Volkswagens at once, and hundreds of billions of yuan in annual profits.
However, wise Chinese people also generally express their understanding. The past era of internal combustion engines is fine. In the era of electric vehicles in the future, the electric vehicles made in China will bear the Toyota logo and the Volkswagen logo. If you want to leave, it’s no pity to cut off the rotten arm.
Amidst the ups and downs, the instigator Xingchen Technology is extremely calm. As a scientific research company, the Tough Guys will not participate in commercial wars unless necessary. They are only responsible for providing ammunition to their partners.
So the focus of Xingchen Technology is always its own scientific research progress.
One late night not long after, An Ran and Luo Jia ate together in the cafeteria. Shen Lang did not follow Luo Jia. Course finished.
“Hey, isn’t that Mr. Luo and Mr. An? I haven’t seen them come to the cafeteria for half a month~Soverse.com~ I heard that they are busy working on the permanent magnet motor project.” The restaurant came to pick up the night shift The young chef said in surprise when he saw the two of them sitting in the corner.
“Okay, you know about permanent magnet motors?” The canteen master looked at him suspiciously.
The young man scratched his head in embarrassment, and began to change into white work clothes, “It’s not all about edification. The hardware department is talking about permanent magnet motors, and the software department is full of eda. I have been working here for a long time, isn’t it?” Scientists can be educated to become scientists.”
“I’m still educated to become a scientist. I think smoked fish is not bad.” The master teased and said, he looked up at the wall clock on the wall of the cafeteria, “After midnight, it’s the weekend, and you can serve alcohol , you take a dozen of Qingdao Chunsheng to Mr. Luo, and I will make two special appetizers, so that the two bosses can have a good drink.”
The young man was taken aback and said excitedly, “Mr. Luo and Mr. An want to drink two cups? So the permanent magnet motor is ready!”
The master smiled proudly, “I don’t believe you are smoked fish, that thing is called a permanent magnet vector motor, super permanent magnet material plus a vector control system, it is the most powerful electromagnetic motor on the earth. Do remember these, when you brag with others outside in the future, you will save our company from losing face.”
