Chapter 1080 Blame the Syrians
Looking at the report in the newspaper about Huateng Automobile and the Syrian government cooperating to build a factory in Homs Province and the high praise it gave, Anwar Noliza’s scalp was numb: Huateng Automobile and the Syrians reached an agreement. Without cooperation, the biggest heel that DRB-HICOM Group uses to manipulate the Chinese people is gone...

Taking a deep breath, Anwar Nuoli looked at Mohiddin Yassin who was sitting opposite him, and said in a deep voice, "How can the Chinese people be so fast?"

Mohiddin Yapin laughed and didn't know what to say for a while. He was also puzzled by this question: How could the Syrians and Chinese people move so fast?Normally speaking, wouldn't it be normal for a negotiation of this scale to drag on for one to two years, two to three years, or even three to four years?
Doubts are doubts, and puzzles are puzzles. My boss asked a question, and it was impossible not to answer. Mohiddin Yassin hesitated and said: "The reaction of the Syrians is indeed beyond our expectations, and the conditions given It's ridiculous to be so rich, but I thought about it just now, and it seems understandable..."

"..."

Anwar Noliza frowned, but he didn't say anything, he just nodded and motioned for Mohiddin Yassin to continue, so it was understandable.

"Syria is different from Malaysia," Mohieldin Yassin explained: "Although our automobile industry in Malaysia is far behind that of Europe, the United States and Japan, we have our own automobile industry anyway. And even if you look at the entire Southeast Asia region, our Proton Motors is the leading large-scale automobile industry group, but Syria is different. They can’t even manufacture cars, let alone motorcycles! Since they can’t manufacture, then naturally Just don’t talk about the automobile industry and the motorcycle industry.”

Anwar Noliza nodded slightly: "That's the truth..."

There is no need for Mohyiddin Yassin to say the following words. Anwar Nooricha instantly understood the meaning of Mohiddin Yassin: For Malaysia with Proton cars, of course there is a need to choose and choose in cooperation. The other party is qualified to bargain, especially when facing a country as big but not very strong as China.

But for Syria, which does not have any modern automobile industry to speak of, whether it is automobile manufacturing or the spare parts needed for automobile maintenance, it needs to be imported from abroad. The situation is quite different. Someone is willing to introduce automobile manufacturing into their country , This is a good thing about the pie in the sky. As long as the current Syrian government is a qualified government, at this time, the first thing they want to think about is how to catch the pie, not how to give it to the Syrian government. The guy who threw the pie set the difficulty...

From this perspective, Syria and Malaysia are not on the same track at all.

This question really stumped Tan Sri Simsardin. Although he has worked in Huaxia for several years, he still has doubts about how much benefit he can get from Huateng Industrial Group through this matter. Really not very bottom.After hesitating for a while, Tan Sri Simsadin said uncertainly, "This... 1 million should be a chance?"

This is why Tan Sri Simsardin pays special attention to the cooperation between Huateng Industrial Group and Proton Motors, because this cooperation is related to his fourth brother.

Thinking of this, Tan Sri Simsaddin came up with an idea, and he asked his younger brother in a low voice: "Fourth brother, tell me, if we secretly tell Huateng Motors about this, we can learn from it." How much benefit do you get?"

Tan Sri Simsardin shook his head and said in a low voice: "Can I joke with you about such a big thing? Now, there is a Huaxia newspaper in front of me, which is about Huateng Industrial Group and Reports of Syrian cooperation..."

"what?"

Hearing his fourth son's words, Tan Sri Simsardin almost cried out: "Your group doesn't intend to run Huateng Kaiyue well at all?"

According to Volkswagen's own statement, this small car named "Gol" in Chinese, Gore, is a stylish and sporty car, and the two rear doors were obviously removed to save costs, but when it came to publicity, it was desperate I compare myself with sports cars and "small steel guns", but actually looking at the configuration and workmanship of this car, I know that this is a "leek car" used by Volkswagen to cut leeks.

As the person in charge of the business affairs of the Malaysian embassy, ​​he has actually read the series of agreements and contracts signed by DRB-HICOM Group and Huateng Industrial Group before, and he can't see any problems with these contracts at all. It is a very formal and rigorous contract text, and it is precisely because of this that Tan Sri Simsardin was particularly curious: With such a rigorous contract text, how can DRB-HICOM Group cheat Huateng Industrial Group?
"You're right..."

"RMB." Ismail Simsaddin and others were a little unhappy: "Isn't that only twenty or thirty, three or four million dollars?"

Of course he understands that his second brother is telling the truth. With his position and identity in the DRB-HICOM Group, he is not qualified to take such a small share of the cooperation between Huateng Automobile and Proton Automobile. While the big shots are eating meat, I can only watch on the side, but if I tell the Chinese people the news quietly, and change it to 40, [-], [-], [-] US dollars, my family will also make a profit.

Ismail Simsaddin on the other end of the phone heard the words, and he was not polite, and immediately opened Sohu.com with the computer on his desk. As expected, after seeing the bold and red headline on the homepage of Sohu.com, Without opening the hyperlink to read the details of the report, he took a deep breath and asked Tan Sri Simsaddin anxiously: "Second brother, Huateng Motors has cooperated with the Syrians, what about What about the cooperation with our DRB-HICOM Group?"

........................

But I was very excited, but Ismail Simsaddin is not stupid after all, he thought about it, and asked Tan Sri Simsaddin in a low voice: "Second brother, you know the situation in China better , do you think if we find a way to tell Huateng Automobile this news, how much benefit can they give us?"

A certain model is popular in a certain region, but it may be completely cold after changing another region. Although it is rare, it is not uncommon. The simplest example is the magic car Volkswagen. "The halo of "gol" seems to be a hot seller, but this is not the case. At the beginning of last year, Volkswagen launched a two-door hatchback car called "gol" in the Chinese market. The body length It is less than 3 meters 9, and the body width is only more than 1 meter 65. It is equipped with a 85-liter inline four-cylinder gasoline engine with a maximum power of "up to" 1.6 horsepower. It is said that it sells very well in Brazil.

"What are you thinking?" Tan Sri Simsaddin said angrily, "Of course it is RMB."

"Looking at it now, it's difficult." Speaking of this, Tan Sri Simsadin suddenly asked Ismail Simsadin: "Fourth, I remember you mentioned something to me before. , Said that your group is going to dig a hole for Huateng Automobile in this cooperation, what is this hole?"

On the other end of the phone, Ismail Simsaddin hesitated for a while when he heard what his second brother said, and finally nodded, and at the same time lowered his voice and said to Tan Sri Simsaddin: "Actually, there is no problem with the contract. It is not the first time that Huateng Motors has done business with foreign companies. Whether there is any problem with the contract can never be hidden from the eyes of their professionals. Tengkaiyue this car."

Tan Sri Simsaddin suddenly realized: It turns out that some people in the DRB-HICOM Group had such an idea...

"Yes, tell Huateng Motors secretly," Tan Sri Simsardin said excitedly, the more he thought about it, the more he thought it was a good idea, "Fourth brother, do you think this is feasible?"

"Ismail, something went wrong," Tan Sri Simsaddin said directly, "Huateng Motors has reached a cooperation with Syria, and they both decided to jointly invest in the construction of A factory that produces [-] cars a year."

Depressed and depressed, Tan Sri Simsadin immediately picked up the phone and dialed out. After a short wait, the call was connected, and a slightly puzzled voice came from the receiver: "Second brother, Why are you calling me at this hour?"

The two looked at each other, and quickly reached an agreement on this setback in Malaysia: blame the damned Syrians!

The Simsardin family can be regarded as a middle-class nobleman with certain influence in Malaysia. Tan Sri Simsardin's father was once an official to the Deputy Minister of the Federal Territories Ministry. One generation, the boss is now the Deputy Secretary-General of the Prime Minister’s Office, with a bright future. Tan Sri Simsardin is the Minister Counselor of the Malaysian Embassy in China, and the future is bright. The third child is also mixed in the army Not bad. As for the fourth son, Ismail Simsardin, he is now working in the headquarters office of DRB-HICOM Group, the largest state-owned enterprise in Malaysia and also known as the son of Malaysia. The level is equivalent to the vice president of a subsidiary. , belonging to the middle and high level of DRB-HICOM Group.

Hearing this, Tan Sri Simsaddin was of course curious, and wanted to ask his younger brother what was going on, but Ismail Simsaddin at the time refused to say anyway, since his younger brother did not Ken said that Tan Sri Simsadin would naturally not force it, but isn't the situation changed now?

After finishing speaking, after a short pause, Tan Sri Simsadin said to Ismail Simsadin in a low voice: "I can understand that you didn't want to say it before, but now, your group can handle Huateng Group The biggest support is gone, and we don’t know how long and when the cooperation between the two companies will be delayed, but we can always say it? Maybe we can take this opportunity to seek some benefits for our family.”

But even so, it can't solve the problem. Proton Motors has been eyeing the fat of Huateng Industrial Group for a long time. People from all walks of life have been gearing up for a big meal. Now a sudden change happened. What can the "diners" do?
Thinking of this question, Anwar Noliza and Mahiddin Yassin frowned again.

"what?!"

When the two brothers were in contact before, Ismail Simsaddin had inadvertently mentioned to Tan Sri Simsadin, saying that in the cooperation between DRB-HICOM Group and Huateng Industrial Group, A hole was dug for Huateng Automobile.

And the market performance of this Gore after its listing also proves that the eyes of the Chinese people are still discerning, and few people buy it at all. It has only been on the market for more than a year, and it has entered a de facto discontinued state.

After finishing speaking, Tan Sri Simsaddin put down the receiver and opened Sohu.com on the computer without searching for it. The most obvious position on the homepage of Sohu.com gave the title in bold and red fonts.

Seeing this, Tan Sri Simsaddin heaved a sigh of relief, picked up the phone again and said to his fourth brother on the other end of the phone: "Sure enough! Ismail, you can open Sohu.com, search It has almost been reported on the Internet, and the most obvious headline on the homepage is."

Thinking of this, Anwar Noricha not only let out a long sigh: "How did things become like this..."

Hearing Tan Sri Simsardin's words, the voice on the other end of the phone instantly rose several times: "Second brother, this joke is not funny..."

When Anwar Noricah and Mohyiddin were having a headache over this issue, Tan Sri Simsaddin looked at the newspaper in front of him in the office of the director of commercial affairs downstairs. Is it like this?Obviously everything was going in a good direction before...

"Two to three million US dollars is not a lot," Tan Sri Simsadin was quite impressed, and he said, "Les, don't forget, if it wasn't for this opportunity, you wouldn't be able to make any money in this project." How much benefit."

Ismail Simsaddin on the other end of the phone was stunned: "Tell Huateng Auto secretly?"

Ismail Simsaddin continued in a low voice: "After this car was unsalable for a period of time, the group told Huateng Automobile that 'your Huateng Excelle does not meet the needs of the Malaysian and Southeast Asian auto consumer markets. , the market does not recognize this car', requiring Huateng Motors to launch new models in Malaysia, and at the same time fully authorize the ownership of this Excelle car in Southeast Asia to Proton Motors, and then Proton Motors will sell it in a suitable place. It is time to launch this Huateng Excelle under Proton’s own name, so that Proton will not have to pay Huateng any dividends and various license fees.”

With this doubt, Tan Sri Simsadin quietly continued to listen to his brother.

However, even though he felt that this was not authentic, from the standpoint of Malaysians, Tan Sri Simsardin would not say anything, but quickly thought about one thing: since it seems that Huateng Industries The cooperation between the group and the DRB-HICOM group is unlikely to start in a short period of time, so how should the Simsardin family use this matter to seek as much benefit as possible for themselves?

Ismail Simsaddin was overjoyed: "Two three million dollars?"

Tan Sri Simsardin frowned: Since the DRB-HICOM Group is actually very optimistic about the Excelle, why do they artificially create unsalable scenes?

Speaking of this, Tan Sri Simsaddin suddenly moved in his heart and said, "Wait a moment, don't hang up, I'll see if there is any report on this matter on China's Sohu..."

Before this, Ismail Simsadin really never had this idea, but now being reminded by his second brother, Ismail Simsadin suddenly reacted: Yes, Why can't I tell Huateng Automobile about this and get some benefits for myself?

However, Audi does not produce the Audi 100 itself, and FAW has also earned enough profits for Audi on the Audi 100 project. In this case, Audi gave the Audi 100 to FAW, but DRB -What about these guys from the HICOM group?They actually decided to dig a hole for Huateng Automobile from the very beginning, which simply combined the double shortcomings of Audi 100 and Gore!

As soon as this idea came up, Ismail Simsaddin's heart started to beat, and the first thought in his heart told him: Yes!Why can't this be done? !

He couldn't understand Ismail Simsaddin's words: If you DRB-HICOM Group didn't plan to operate Huateng Excelle well, then why did you put so much effort in introducing this car?
"I also overheard those big people talking about it," Ismail Simsaddin said to Tan Sri Simsaddin in a low voice on the other end of the phone: "Their plan is that when Hua Teng After the Excelle was put into production, not only did it not work hard to operate this car and make this car sell well in Malaysia and even the entire Southeast Asia region, but instead used its own influence in Malaysia and Southeast Asia to make this car unsalable..."

Ismail Simsaddin was silent after hearing this.

As for the transfer of product ownership, Tan Sri Simsardin is no stranger. There is a ready-made example in Huaxia: Didn’t Audi already authorize the Audi 100 to FAW, and then FAW Has the 100 been replaced with its own car logo and sold under the name of Hongqi Mingshi?

Mohiddin Yassin also sighed: Yes, things were going well at first, and everything was expected by Malaysia, but why did it suddenly become like this?

But this kind of thing must be careful and cautious. If it is accidentally leaked, the problem will be serious, so how to keep it secret is a problem...

On the other hand, Tan Sri Simsadin, seeing his younger brother on the other end of the phone without speaking for so long, thought he was not happy, so he hesitated and said, "How about this, let's ask Dad what he means?"

Just now, Ismail Simsadin, who was both excited and a little afraid that the revelation of the matter would have some bad influence on him, immediately nodded when he heard this: "Alright, let's listen to Dad's opinion first."

It would be great if my father thinks that he can get more money from Huateng Automobile with this news.
