Chapter 1000 It's Natural

Previously, in Hiroshi Seto's mind, how big could Huateng Industrial Group's appetite be?Having a Camry is almost enough to satisfy them, but what Seto Hiroyuki never expected was that Huateng Industrial Group even looked down on Camry, and even set its sights on the crown!

Hiroyuki Seto did not dare to neglect such a big matter, so he found an opportunity to report the situation to Fujio Zhang.

After listening to Hiroyuki Seto's report, Fujio Zhang on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and then slowly asked: "...So, Mr. Seto, do you think Huateng Group used this method to convey their meaning to you? ?”

"Hayi!" Hiroyuki Seto responded, "Master President, I think so."

"Well……"

Zhang Fujio on the other end of the phone was silent again for a moment, and then slowly asked again: "What do you think about this matter?"

Ok?
Hearing the words of his vice president, Hiroshi Seto was really stunned for a moment: the vice president didn't directly refuse?

After a short period of stupefaction, Seto Hiroyuki became excited: The vice president did not directly refuse, what does this signal mean?
What else could it mean!
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Hiroyuki Seto respectfully said: "Master President, when I first heard about this matter, I was actually very angry, and I felt offended by stealing oil."

Mrs. Zhang Fuji responded, and said, "Well, you continue to talk."

"But after thinking about it carefully, I think there is a real reason for Huateng Group's request." After a slight pause, seeing that the vice-president had no intention of opening his mouth, Seto Hiroyuki continued: "Huateng Industrial Group Different from our partner in China: FAW, I have carefully analyzed the situation of this partner, FAW. They are now an automobile manufacturer mainly engaged in commercial vehicles. In the field of passenger vehicles with higher profits, their own brand : Hongqi has almost fallen into silence, and has no way to create profits for the parent company. This one is supported by Volkswagen and Audi, but the total annual sales of these two brands are only around 20 vehicles. Compared with Huateng Group, FAW is too far behind in the field of passenger cars. They have no choice but to cooperate with us and focus on our most prestigious compact product field. Product: corolla top.

But Huateng Group is different. They have made great achievements in the three product segments of compact cars, mid-level cars, and medium-to-large luxury cars, and their achievements in each segment have surpassed that of FAW and even There are other domestic passenger car brands in China, so if we take Corolla and Camry to cooperate with them, for companies like FAW and GAC, they will be ecstatic, but for companies like Huateng Industrial Group In other words, they really don’t pay much attention to them, because their Excelle, Sylphy and even Teana have made extraordinary achievements. They can even mass-produce a 4.8-liter V8 engine, which is the only large-displacement engine in China. V8 engine, in this case, they set their sights on our best products: Crown and Crown Majesta, which I think is understandable. "

After finishing speaking, Hiroyuki Seto took a deep breath: "My lord, I think so. If there is anything wrong, please forgive me."

After finishing speaking, Hiroyuki Seto bowed heavily.

"..."

Zhang Fujio on the other end of the phone did not speak immediately, and when Seto Hiroshi was feeling uneasy and wondering whether there was a problem with the telephone line, Zhang Fujio finally said: "So, Seto-san, do you agree with this?" Cooperate with Huateng Group to produce Crown sedan, and transfer Crown Majesta to Huateng Group?"

What does the Vice President mean by this?
Zhang Fujio's words made Hiroyuki Seto feel a little uncertain: Does he agree with the cooperation with Huateng Group in the production of the Crown sedan, or does he not agree?

But obviously, Zhang Fujio on the other end of the phone could not give Seto Hiroyuki too much time to think. Seto Hiroyuki hesitated, and finally decided to take a risk. He gritted his teeth and said, "Your Excellency, President, since Audi is already in Huaxia They have put into production their latest mid-to-high-end car product, the Audi A6, and BMW and Mercedes-Benz are also willing to invest in China. I think it is also possible to consider the localization of the Crown sedan in China.

Of course, as to whether to transfer the technology of Crown Majesta to Huateng Automobile, this needs to be carefully considered and weighed by you adults. "

"Well……"

Hearing what Hiroyuki Seto said, Fujio Cho on the other end of the phone fell silent again.

And Hiroyuki Seto on the other end of the phone was sweating with his hand holding the receiver.

After a while, Zhang Fujio on the other end of the phone finally spoke again, and he said slowly: "Seto-kun, what you said makes sense."

Hearing this, Hiroyuki Seto breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, when Hiroyuki Seto reported these things to Fujio Zhang just now, Hiroyuki Seto had a heart in his heart, lest his vice president would refuse to take the Crown sedan to China for production, and now the president let go , this matter is easy to handle.

But Zhang Fujio went on to say: "I can understand Huateng Group's choice, but the value and significance of Crown Motors to oil thieves, I believe you, Seto-kun, understand, right?"

"Yes," Seto Hiroyuki replied quickly, "I know very well."

"Very good," Zhang Fujio said, "but Mr. Seto, you must understand this. We can produce the crown in China, but this production company can be FAW-Stealing Oil, or GAC-Stealing Oil or It's some other oil-stealing otter, but no matter what it is, it must be in our best interest."

Hiroyuki Seto nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, it is like this..."

"But if it's just Huateng Group's request, we will satisfy him, and we will still come up with a product of the level of the crown," Fujio Zhang sighed, and said, "Mr. Seto, you should understand that this reason cannot be persuaded." Directors."

"..."

Hearing this, Hiroyuki Seto stopped talking. Indeed, what the vice president said is correct. Luxury car brands with international workers such as Audi, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW have brought their main products to China for local production. At that time, it was not impossible for Stealing Oil Otter to take the crown to China for production, but the question is, why did Stealing Oil Otter cooperate with Huateng Group to produce the Crown sedan?What benefits can Huateng Group offer that others can't give to convince all the honorable directors who steal oil?If there is not enough reason, there is no reason enough to overwhelm other competitors, why should the oil-stealing otter cooperate with Huateng Industrial Group?

But in the same way, on the other hand, although Huateng Industrial Group also hopes to cooperate with the oil-stealing otter, they still don't like the general products of the oil-stealing otter...

Although Shuangfa attaches great importance to each other's cooperation, this emphasis is obviously "general attention". When it comes to Huateng Industrial Group, Huateng Industrial Group's desire to cooperate with oil stealers is obviously unable to match FAW and GAC are compared, which is a headache.

Regardless of Seto Hiroyuki, Zhang Fujio on the other end of the phone continued: "Seto-san, I understand your meaning and concerns, but this worry alone cannot convince the directors of the club. They have their own pride. ,Do you know what I mean?"

Hiroyuki Seto quickly responded, "Hai! I understand very well."

Although Zhang Fujio said very implicitly, how could Hiroyuki Seto not understand the meaning of his vice president?He clearly said, "I understand why you are so determined to cooperate with Huateng Industrial Group, even if it is to take out models like the Crown for cooperation. The biggest competitor and hindrance of Huateng's business, but this is only our common view, and in the eyes of those arrogant directors who are above the top, Huateng Industrial Group, with an annual output of only a few hundred thousand vehicles, is a Those who are not worthy of being competitors of the oil-stealing otters are not qualified to cooperate with the oil-stealing otters on an equal footing.” Otter's cooperation, but also to find a way to persuade those old diehards in the board of directors.

Hearing what Seto Hiroyuki said, Zhang Fujio nodded and said: "Seto-kun, if you still want to persevere, then please continue to work hard."

"Hayi!" Knowing that this was the signal for the vice president to hang up the phone, Hiroyuki Seto hurriedly said: "Thank you very much for answering my call at such a busy time, I have caused you trouble."

"Hehe... Goodbye, Seto-kun."

"Goodbye, my lord."

After hanging up the phone, Hiroyuki Seto clenched his fists, his heart full of fighting spirit: He already understood the kindness of his vice president. Although this matter is not easy to handle, the vice president is still willing to continue to support him, but The premise is that I can push this matter to develop in a good direction.

Although it is still difficult, for Hiroyuki Seto, he thinks this is the most optimistic result.

------------

When Seto Hiroyuki was reporting to Zhang Fujifu what he "accidentally" overheard, Zhang Qihang was also talking about it with Secretary Feng.

Although it has been decided to "accidentally" disclose the request from Huateng Industrial Group to the oil-stealing delegation, and according to the secret observation of the staff, the oil-stealing side has also heard and understood their intentions, But whether the other party can agree to the request of Huateng Industrial Group, Secretary Feng still has no idea.

"How could it be so easy to agree?" Zhang Qihang said with a smile: "We make a request, and the other party thinks about it, thinks it can be done, and then orders one. The two parties have established a good cooperative relationship... This is the most ideal situation. , but how can it be so simple in reality?
Let’s not talk about Dongying people’s usual stinginess, whether they can agree, even if they really agree in their hearts, but based on your understanding of Dongying people, old man, they can’t argue with us for half a year? "

Hearing Zhang Qihang say this, Mr. Feng was also happy: "Haha... that's what you said before, the cooperation between the two parties is obviously a cow, and they have to start talking about a sheep or even a rabbit?"

This is a joke that Zhang Qihang said before, about the degree of search and search of Dongying people in cooperation: If the degree of cooperation between the two parties is compared to a cow, then even if this Dongying company is willing to cooperate, it will not be able to negotiate. Let’s start with the rabbit first, then the rabbit will turn into a sheep, then the sheep will turn into a pig, and finally the pig will turn into a cow... It’s not impossible to do this, but the problem is that it takes too much time, and it often takes several years.

Zhang Qihang nodded with a smile, and then said: "As a product from the N platform, I think Crown MAJESTA can even be said to be an N+ level product. It is indeed very good, but because Crown MAJESTA is very good, I think our We can’t pin all the hopes of the second generation of Teana on the fact that the oil otter is willing to transfer the crown MAJESTA technology to us. We will continue to develop our second generation of Teana step by step. If the oil otter is willing to transfer the full set of crowns to us Majesta's technology, of course, could not be better, but if they don't want to, don't delay our second-generation Teana.

Conversely, only if our second-generation Teana develops step by step, we will have more bargaining power when discussing cooperation. "

Old Master Feng took the lead without hesitation: "I agree with this."

There is a reason why others are not as good as himself. Mr. Feng understood it long before the country was liberated. He was even happy that Zhang Qihang was able to maintain such a calm mind at this time.

Zhang Qihang continued: "As for the second generation of Tian Lai, I also have some ideas, old man, can you help me with my staff?"

Mr. Feng laughed immediately, and he repeatedly waved his hands and said, "Don't ask me about technical things, I don't understand either."

Zhang Qihang was also laughing: "I'm definitely not asking about technical things."

"Oh, tell me then."

"Grandpa, do you think our current generation of Teana has any shortcomings compared with competitors such as Audi A6, Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW 5 Series?"

Mr. Feng frowned immediately, and said with a wry smile, "You've stumped me with this question. To be honest, whether it's power, chassis or configuration, I think our current Teana is already perfect."

When Zhang Qihang asked this question, he already understood what Zhang Qihang meant: only by knowing the shortcomings of the current Teana, can he make targeted improvements, but the problem is that what he said is also true, because the sales volume is The best proof, if the design of the current Teana is not excellent to a certain extent, how can it be so widely recognized by the market, even the previous Audi 100 and the current Audi A6 are overwhelmed by it?
If there are any deficiencies, the old man really can't think of them.
