Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1647 Major Opportunity
The matter is of great importance, Duan Yun decided to discuss this matter with the leaders of the SY city government. After all, with his company's personal financial resources, it is impossible to complete such a large acquisition plan.

Prior to this, Duan Yun once again contacted Volvo's president Johnson through an international phone call, asking if there was any possibility of reducing the price.

But as Duan Yun expected, Volvo refused to lower the price, and said that he would only give Duan Yun two weeks to consider. If he did not get a reply, the deal would be terminated forever.

The Swedes are different from the Chinese when they talk about business. They are relatively objective and serious in doing things. Talking about business is not like buying vegetables in a vegetable market. You can have more or less. In the 270 faxes sent to Duan Yun, they A detailed quotation has been made for each equipment, and you can question the quotation for a single equipment, but you cannot increase the price significantly.

Duan Yun can organize a technical team to analyze Volvo's report overnight and question some quotations, but time does not allow, Volvo only gave them two weeks, which is the time limit set by their board of directors, even if it is the president Johnson also had no way to help Duan change this decision.

Two weeks has become the lifeline of Duan Yun's automobile industry. He must give Volvo a clear answer within this deadline.

That night, Duan Yun organized the company's translators and technicians to translate and sort out the equipment materials overnight, and Duan Yun himself also participated in the work of sorting out the materials.

Duan Yun himself is also an expert in automobiles. When he was in the lobby, he also participated in the assembly work of foreign production lines. He has a relatively in-depth understanding of the equipment and technical parameters used in all automobile production.

When sorting out the Volvo production line equipment information, Duan Yun was more and more surprised, and his whole body fell into a state of excitement. He really didn't expect that Volvo would be willing to sell such advanced technology.

Compared with Japanese cars, Volvo's production line is not much less automated and advanced, and even has its own unique technologies and advantages in many aspects.

After all, Volvo is a European luxury brand car, and it pays special attention to the stability and safety of the car. In terms of engine performance, they use a 2.0L self-priming EFI engine. The performance of this engine is very advanced, and SAIC Volkswagen produces The current Santana sedan uses a 1.6L carburetor engine. In terms of technical performance, the Volvo 740 sedan is a generation ahead of the Santana sedan.

However, in terms of gearboxes, both cars use 4-speed manual gearboxes, each with its own advantages and disadvantages in technology.

The most direct reason for the big difference in engines is that the Volvo 740 sedan is a luxury brand in Europe, while the German Volkswagen Santana sedan is just an ordinary civilian brand. The two will naturally exist in terms of performance and price. Some differences, the price of the Volvo 740 sedan in Europe is nearly 1/4 higher than that of the Santana sedan.

Also, in terms of engines, there are indeed differences between German Volkswagen and Volvo. Volvo is a comprehensive group enterprise. Auto companies, in some aspects of technology, naturally cannot be compared with the Volvo Group.

In addition, Duan Yun also saw a lot of automated production equipment, including automatic welding, heavy-duty shell stamping machines, and electric painting equipment, almost all of which are domestically leading.

Duan Yunye visited the production workshop of Shanghai Santana before. Although this joint venture has been established for 6 years, the degree of automation is still not high enough. With the introduction of this equipment, Duan Yun will be better than Shanghai Volkswagen in terms of technology. .

As for Volvo's F12 truck production line, it is also very advanced. With these products, Volvo has become the largest truck manufacturer in Europe, which shows that the technical strength of this production line is very strong.

It took a whole night, and with the help of more than 10 technicians, Duan Yun finished all the materials. At this time, he has made up his mind, that is, to introduce his own production line to the domestic market no matter what. .

Back in his office, Duan Yun immediately called the mayor's office of SY City.

But it was the mayor's secretary who answered the phone. He told Duan Yunwu that the mayor was in a meeting and would reply to him later.

In desperation, Duan Yun put down the phone and could only wait.

It wasn't until around 5 o'clock in the afternoon that the phone on Duan Yun's desk rang again.

"Xiao Duan, I was in a meeting just now, what can you do?" Mayor Wu Disheng's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"It's Mayor Wu, I have received an offer from Volvo..."

"How much do they want?" Wu Disheng asked with concern.

"5.4 million US dollars, and only give us two weeks to reply." Duan Yun said.

"..."

At this moment, Wu Disheng on the other end of the phone fell silent.

Obviously, $5.4 million seemed astronomical to him.

Not to mention our SY city government, even the provincial government can't afford so much money. The government's financial expenditure is limited, and it is impossible to spend so much money to introduce a foreign project.

"Mayor Wu, I have read the information on these two production lines sold by the Volvo Group in detail. I think the price of 5.4 million US dollars is not too high..." Duan Yun paused, and then said: "They provide us with What we need are two complete automobile production lines, including related supporting facilities. If we can introduce all of them, we will directly own two world-leading automobile production lines, and can solve a large number of employment problems..."

"Xiao Duan, this matter is very important. I am not an expert in automobiles..." Wu Disheng on the other end of the phone thought for a while and said, "It's better that you come to Shenyang immediately with the materials. Experts will be organized to conduct research and demonstration on this project, and if it can pass the review of experts, we will discuss the next step.”

Obviously, although the SY city government does not have so much financial resources, it still attaches great importance to the introduction of the production line. It also knows that this production line may invigorate Shenyang's economy and employment. If it is really promising, Wu Disheng will Find another way.

"Okay, I will rush to Shenyang with the information immediately." Duan Yun said hastily.

"Don't worry about doing things. There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. I also hope that this project can really bring Shenyang a future." After Wu Disheng finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.
