Chapter 1096 Argument
"Zhang Qihang?"

Mr. Zhu frowned, subconsciously wanting to refuse.

Mr. Zhu is no stranger to Zhang Qihang. It can even be said that without the Huateng Industrial Group that suddenly appeared, the sales of his own Jetta, Bora, Audi A6 and early Audi 100 would be much better than they are now. Just because of Zhang Qihang, a guy who appeared out of nowhere, the family lost a lot of money.

Now that Lei Zhiping proposed to cooperate with Zhang Qihang, Mr. Zhu instinctively felt a little unhappy.

But Lei Zhiping thought it was a good idea.

Just now, asking Zhang Qihang for help was his idea, but after saying these words, Lei Zhiping suddenly felt that this idea was simply too good, and secretly glanced at Mr. Zhu with an unhappy face, Lei Zhiping said: "Mr. Zhu, I think so. First of all, Comrade Zhang Qihang's ability in car design has been recognized all over the world. He has proved himself in the car industry with one model after another. Design ability, the most important thing is that his design ability has been recognized by Mercedes-Benz, and he is an internationally recognized top car design master;

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that although Comrade Zhang Qihang is not a member of our FAW, he is also our own comrade in the final analysis. If we ask Comrade Zhang Qihang to help us design, wouldn’t all problems be solved? "

so...

Mr. Zhu smacked for a while, and thought it was the same reason: Lao Lei was right, although it is a pity that Zhang Qihang is not from FAW, but on the one hand, Zhang Qihang is a serious Chinese auto designer, and There are quite well-known car designers all over the world; on the other hand, Zhang Qihang is also a comrade in the system, he is "one of his own", after all, he is still a family.

Thinking of this, Mr. Zhu felt a lot more at ease, and he didn't reject Zhang Qihang so much.He nodded and said, "That's the reason... But Lao Lei, do you think Zhang Qihang can agree?"

Seeing that Mr. Zhu let go, but seemed to be hesitant, Lei Zhiping didn't know what he should do?He quickly persuaded: "It's all about human effort. You see, he helped Mr. Bing solve the three big loss-making customers of Qinchuan Machinery Factory, Jiangbei Machinery Factory and Jiangnan Machinery Factory, and also designed the Qinchuan QQ market for Qinchuan Machinery Factory. The very popular miniature family car shows that Comrade Zhang Qihang should be pretty good and talkative.

Another one, our Hongqi brand is different from other car brands. It is a banner of our country's national auto industry. Not just anyone is qualified to design models for Hongqi. For an auto designer, this is a great job. I believe Comrade Zhang Qihang should understand this point - even if he is young and can't figure it out for a while, we can still find a way to do his ideological work and let him understand that this is not simply helping us design A car that allows him to participate in the revitalization of a great car brand. "

Hearing what Lei Zhiping said, Mr. Zhu felt a lot more at ease: Well, what Lao Lei said is right, it’s still the same thing, not everyone is qualified to design cars for Hongqi, let Zhang Qihang participate in this In the middle of the project, it is the opportunity we give him!Thinking of this, Mr. Zhu nodded slightly: "It also makes sense... so, I will tell the old secretary Geng about this situation later, and listen to the old secretary Geng's meaning."

As for Lei Zhiping’s previous launch of the taxi version of Mingshi, it’s over: Although Comrade Lei Zhiping did not do it properly, in the final analysis it was to increase the sales of Mingshi. The original intention is still good. Let’s criticize , Correct it, and this matter will end.

As for Lei Zhiping, until this moment, he had finally put his heart back into his stomach.

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

Mr. Geng had no objection to Lei Zhiping's proposal, but he still reminded Mr. Zhu that it is best to discuss it at the meeting-the Hongqi brand is really different, especially in terms of political influence, so You can't be too careful and cautious.

Regarding old secretary Geng's opinion, Mr. Zhu naturally followed suit.

Unsurprisingly, when Lei Zhiping asked Zhang Qihang to help design a new generation of Ming Shi and Century Star at the meeting, everyone immediately talked about it...

"Zhang Qihang's design level is undeniable." After Lei Zhiping explained why he asked Zhang Qihang to help design the new generation of Mingshi and Century Star, Li Zhaoguo, the deputy general manager, took the lead in expressing his opinion: "But let Isn't it somewhat inappropriate for an outsider to help us design a car?"

"Comrade Zhaoguo, what you said is also reasonable, but I think your view is a bit one-sided."

"Oh?" Hearing what Lei Zhiping said, Li Zhaoguo was not angry, but nodded and asked, "What do you say?"

"If I suggest inviting Comrade Zhang Qihang to help us design a Jiefang car, that would be inappropriate, but Hongqi cars are different! Why do I say Hongqi cars are different?" Facing the surprised eyes of everyone, Lei Zhiping talked eloquently: "Because Although Hongqi cars are produced by our FAW, the brand of Hongqi cars belongs to all Chinese people, but all the people handed over the brand of Hongqi cars to our FAW to manage, but obviously, in this matter, we did not do anything. Not very good, to a certain extent, we have not given a satisfactory answer to the people of the whole country, let down the trust of D, the country and all the people in us..."

Regarding Lei Zhiping's words, what everyone wanted to say in their hearts was: You fart!
You said that the Hongqi car is not owned by our FAW?I will beat you to death!
But when Lei Zhiping started to sing high-profile words, saying that "the Hongqi car brand belongs to all Chinese people and is managed by all Chinese people to FAW", those who just rushed to refute Lei Zhiping, now But it is difficult to say anything, because although everyone firmly believes that the Hongqi car is FAW, this sentence is actually repeatedly emphasized by the leaders, especially the superiors. Are you wrong?Are you still politically conscious?
So at this moment, when Lei Zhiping sang high-profile, although everyone disagreed with Lei Zhiping's words, they couldn't refute them.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Lei Zhiping felt a little proud: Do you know how much effort I have put in these past few days to be able to convince you at this meeting?
Seeing everyone's dissatisfied but unable to refute expressions, Lei Zhiping felt refreshed, and continued: "Because of this, we have to be ashamed and courageous, but our group's own design capabilities... Let me put it this way, I I think our group has no problems in terms of technology, but there are indeed some shortcomings in the design of this kind of inspiration that requires more imagination.

If there is any comrade in the group who has shown a level comparable to that of Comrade Zhang Qihang in terms of car design, then of course there is no need to ask outsiders for help, but the problem is that at least up to now, no comrade in design in our group has shown such a level. Ability, in the current situation where the masses have begun to dissatisfy with the Hongqi brand, should we turn a blind eye to Comrade Zhang Qihang's outstanding ability?

I don't think this is appropriate!
As for asking Comrade Zhang Qihang for help, my idea is that Comrade Zhang Qihang's level and ability in the field of automobile design have been unanimously recognized at home and abroad, and he is our own comrade. Comrade Qihang helped, and no one could tell what was wrong. "

"..."

After Lei Zhiping finished speaking, there was silence in the conference room.

Everyone has to admit that what Lei Zhiping said is reasonable. If his designer shows a design ability comparable to that of Zhang Qihang, even if it is slightly inferior, then of course there is nothing to say, and he can "digest it internally". The problem is that there are no designers of this level?
In this way, it seems that the only way is to ask Zhang Qihang for help.

Finally, after a period of silence, Comrade Miao Youwei, the deputy secretary, said: "Comrade Zhiping, what you said is correct, but our group has launched HQ3? Should we wait to see the situation after HQ3 is listed?"

The so-called HQ3 is actually the 3th-generation Majesta crown that has been rebranded. After it was officially launched, it was renamed Shengshi. Except for the logo of this HQ430 being replaced by the Hongqi logo, everything else is the 4.3th-generation Majesta crown, even the engine. It is also the 8-liter V[-] engine on the Lexus LS[-]. The whole car is called smooth when driving, and the configuration is called high!

According to the original plan, the HQ3 car will be officially unveiled at the Shanghai International Auto Show next month, and it will be launched next year. After seeing this car, the entire leadership team of Big Brother is very concerned about the market performance of the HQ3 car. Full of confidence, now being reminded by Deputy Secretary Miao, the other leaders, who were somewhat unhappy just now, suddenly reacted: Yes, we still have HQ3, how could we forget about this?

"I have also considered this issue," Lei Zhiping explained: "First of all, the positioning of Mingshi, Century Star and HQ3 are different. If HQ3 is Mercedes-Benz S-Class in our product series, then Mingshi and Century Star It is the Mercedes-Benz C-class and E-class, our upgrades to Mingshi and Century Star will not affect the sales of the S-class, will they?"

Everyone nodded: This is the truth. The positioning of the three cars, HQ3, Mingshi and Century Star, is indeed different.

"One more thing," Lei Zhiping continued: "Some things are actually not very suitable to say at this time today, but after thinking about it, I still think it's better to remind everyone."

Speaking of this, Lei Zhiping pursed his lips and said: "Before Mingshi and Century Star went public, many comrades were very confident in the market performance of Mingshi and Century Star."

Hearing Lei Zhiping's words, the faces of many comrades suddenly collapsed.

Of course, there are also many people who are thoughtful.

Everyone understood the meaning of Lei Zhiping's words: Mingshi is a rebranded version of the Audi 100. Before it was launched, how confident were you in Mingshi's market performance?But how about the actual performance after the listing, everyone can see it, right?For the sake of sales, they are all reduced to Mingshi who started to make taxi versions.

Century Star is also taking the old road of Mingshi, but it is different from Mingshi in that Century Star is the rebranded and engine version of Audi 200. In addition, the front face has been redesigned, but in addition to the front face, logo and engine In addition, Century Star is an Audi 200, but the market performance of Century Star is not as good as that of Mingshi...

Today, HQ3 is almost in the same situation as Mingshi and Century Star before it was launched. The prototype of HQ3: the 12th generation Crown is very popular in the market. It's hard to find, many places are selling cars at a higher price, like the original Audi 100 and Audi 200, but who can guarantee that HQ3 will not face the same situation as today's Mingshi and Century Star after its launch?

If Lei Zhiping didn't mention this, everyone really didn't think about it, but now hearing what Lei Zhiping said, they felt a "thump" in their hearts: Don't really reproduce the scene of Mingshi on HQ3, right?
Deputy Secretary Miao was also frightened by this possible coincidence, he swallowed, swallowed back the words that had come to his lips, and said instead: "Ming Shi and Century Star have different positions from HQ3, this is also true. Facts, but Comrade Zhiping, can you guarantee that the new generation of Mingshi and Century Star designed by Zhang Qihang will be welcomed by the market and recognized by the people?"

How can such a thing give a promise?Lei Zhiping said honestly: "Mr. Zhu, colleagues, I really can't guarantee this issue, but based on Comrade Zhang Qihang's design ability and accurate grasp of the market in the past, I think that if you leave it to Comrade Zhang Qihang To design, the success rate of his design must be greater than others.

If the new generation of Mingshi and Century Star he designed can't be recognized by the market, how much money and what level of design master will we have to spend to meet our requirements? "

Some words, Lei Zhiping is embarrassed to say: Are you still hesitating whether to ask Zhang Qihang to help design a new generation of Ming Shi and Century Star?Compared to this, I am more worried about whether Zhang Qihang will agree to this matter.

But let's not say this for the time being, it's a disappointment.

"..."

Hearing Lei Zhiping's words, the other comrades were speechless.

Yes, you said to guarantee it, but who can guarantee this kind of thing?On the other hand, Zhang Qihang, he has already proved his ability and level in car design with the products he designed before. In this case, if we don’t trust Zhang Qihang, who else can we trust?

Until this moment, Mr. Zhu, who had been listening carefully and didn't speak much, made a move. He turned his head to look at the crowd, and said slowly: "What Comrade Zhiping said makes sense, and everyone has put forward a lot of intentional opinions. , but at this point in the discussion, I believe that everyone should have already made a judgment in their hearts about whether to cooperate with Comrade Zhang Qihang, so let’s vote next: Comrades who disagree with asking Comrade Zhang Qihang to help design a new generation of Mingshi and Century Star, please vote hand."

Mr. Zhu asked this question quite skillfully, raised his hand if he disagreed?

In other words, if you don't raise your hand, doesn't that mean you agree?
Look at Mr. Zhu again, he didn't make any moves.

Seeing this scene, everyone understood in their hearts: Mr. Zhu himself is in favor of asking Zhang Qihang to help design a new generation of Mingshi and Century Star.

So what else is there to say?It's not a big deal in itself.

Everyone, look at me and I look at you. Originally, some people wanted to raise their hands, but no one seemed to be willing to raise their hands. What am I raising my hand for?

After waiting for a while, seeing no one raised their hands, Mr. Zhu asked again: "No one raised their hands? Okay, since no one raised their hands, let the clerk record it. This vote is unanimously passed."

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

"Director, what did you say?" Zhang Qihang said in surprise, "Big brother wants me to help us design a new generation of Ming Shi and Century Star? Are you kidding me?"

When he received a call from Chen Haiyang, saying that Big Brother wanted to ask him to help them design the replacement Ming Shi and Century Star, Zhang Qihang was somewhat confused.

"Can I joke with you about this kind of thing?" Chen Haiyang understood why Zhang Qihang was so surprised, and he said helplessly: "The reason why they didn't contact you is that they don't know you very well. found me..."

Understood.

Hearing what Chen Haiyang said, Zhang Qihang understood.

Also, the rise of Huateng Industrial Group has had a big impact on Big Brother's business. Although Lu Province supports Huateng Industrial Group, Big Brother can't do anything to Huateng Industrial Group, but the relationship between the two companies But there has never been any contact. Everyone looks like "you go your way, and I go over my single-plank bridge", but now the big brother needs to help them design a new car, which is somewhat troublesome. Without that friendship Under such circumstances, the best way is to take the official route.

After Zhang Qihang thought about what was going on, Chen Haiyang on the other end of the phone asked, "Xiao Zhang, how do you think about this matter?"

Zhang Qihang pondered for a moment, did not say whether he would pick it up or not, but asked Chen Haiyang: "Director, does the province know about this? How do the leaders think about it?"

Zhang Qihang's answer made Chen Haiyang very satisfied: he didn't refuse outright, which is a good thing.

In response, Chen Haiyang said: "This call was made by the secretary of Leader Tang. What the leader said is that the Hongqi car is different from other brands. It is the pride of the Chinese people and a flag of our country's automobile industry. If you If you can come over here, please help as much as you can.

Of course, if you have helped and worked hard, you must not let your help be in vain. No one can lose what should belong to you, even if they are big brothers. "

Hearing Chen Haiyang's words so blatantly stated, what does Zhang Qihang not understand about the province's attitude?He immediately responded happily: "I understand, Director, I have no problem here. It is my honor to be able to contribute to the revitalization of the Hongqi brand."

Zhang Qihang's statement made Chen Haiyang very happy, and he immediately said: "Since this is the case, come here and let's discuss how to deal with this matter...Help is a help, and the benefits cannot be taken away by others."
