Chapter 1139 The method is indeed feasible, but...

Listening to Valentin Matviyenko's panting voice on the other end of the phone, Samir Khalil felt somewhat pleased: Great, you old men also have today? !

However, with a dark feeling in his heart, Samir Khalil also knew that he could no longer provoke Valentin Matviyenko, and it was almost done so far, so he did not wait for Valentin Matviyenko. When Yanke opened his mouth, Samir Khalil continued: "Of course, we are also very sad about this situation..."

You are also very sad?

Valentin Matviyenko, who was irritated by Samir Khalil's words just now, almost scolded, that is to say, there is no such saying in Russia as "the cat cries and the mouse fakes mercy", otherwise Valentin Matviyenko must have scolded it directly: Don't cry like a cat and fake mercy!
"So, before this, I discussed this matter with Mr. Zhang Qihang of Huateng Automobile, and asked him if he had any solution to the problem."

Ok?
Hearing this, Valentin Matvienko was taken aback for a moment: Samir Khalil and Zhang Qihang discussed this matter?

Valentin Matviyenko is no stranger to Zhang Qihang. Although the automobile products of Huateng Group have not entered the Russian market, in the process of dealing with European and American automobile brands, Valentin Matviyenko Ke has often heard people from European and American auto companies mention Huateng Automobile and Zhang Qihang in an angry tone.

Having dealt with Europeans and Americans for so many years, Valentin Matviyenko naturally knows very well that when Europeans and Americans talk about someone in this tone, it actually means that they are full of awe for this person—— Back then, they treated the Soviet Union like this.

It was also from that beginning that Valentin Matviyenko became interested in Huateng Automobile and Zhang Qihang, and began to consciously understand and collect information about Huaxia Automobile Industry, the automobile industry, Huateng Automobile and Zhang Qihang, Because Valentin Matviyenko is really too curious about this fact: what kind of Chinese people are able to make these European and American auto industry people who have their eyes above the top say him in this tone? ?

As he learned more about Huateng Motors and Zhang Qihang, Valentin Matviyenko admired Zhang Qihang more and more: a young Chinese man, surrounded by European and American auto giants, Not only did he lead his own company to gain a firm foothold in the auto industry, but he even overwhelmed them, which is really amazing!
Now, hearing Samir Khalil mention Zhang Qihang, Valentin Matviyenko hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help asking: "What did Mr. Zhang say?"

What Valentin Matviyenko said made Samir Khalil feel relieved: Mr. Zhang is right, this guy is really interested in this!

He suppressed the excitement in his heart and said to Valentin Matviyenko: "Mr. Zhang said that the Volga Automobile Factory, as an automobile factory with a long history, has now fallen into the current situation where it can barely maintain , It’s really a pity, but it’s not impossible to save the situation.”

When Samir Khalil said the first half, Valentin Matviyenko was ashamed and a little annoyed at the same time, but when he heard the last sentence, Valentin Matviyenko suddenly felt ashamed. Excited: what?Zhang Qihang said that the current Volga Automobile Factory still has a way to save some of the situation?
As the general manager of the Volga Automobile Manufacturing Group, how could Valentin Matviyenko hold back after hearing this?He asked almost subconsciously: "What is Mr. Zhang's method?"

"This one……"

Samir Khalil did not answer right away, but said: "Mr. Zhang Qihang once mentioned that it is wrong to say that the Volga Automobile Factory put pressure on Syria. At this time, the Volga Automobile Factory should find a way to increase the local Market share, even if Lada Motor’s market share in Russia increases by 1%, isn’t it much better than trying to figure out the Syrian market?”

Valentin Matviyenko immediately understood what Samir Khalil meant: this is an exchange, I can tell you what Zhang Qihang said, but you can no longer be concerned about the sales of Lada cars in Syria This thing weighed on me.

After hesitating for a while, Valentin Matviyenko nodded immediately: "Mr. Zhang is right, Volga should really focus on increasing its market share in Russia."

As long as there is a way, Valentin Matviyenko also wants to change the situation of the Volga Automobile Manufacturing Group.

As for the setback in sales of Lada cars in Syria, in Valentin Matviyenko's view, it is nothing compared to saving the Volga Automobile Group.

With Valentin Matviyenko's words, Samir Khalil immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and he said: "Mr. The biggest reason why the rate is declining is that the shape of Lada is too old, and the control of product quality is also somewhat insufficient.

So, now that we know where the problem is, it's simple. The product is old, so why not replace it with a new one?There are some deficiencies in the quality control of the product. Why don't we find ways to improve the quality of the product? "

That's it?

Upon hearing this, Valentin Matviyenko couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, and subconsciously said: "Of course we know these methods, but we don't have that much money..."

Whether it is developing new products or finding ways to improve product quality, which one of these does not require money?For the current Volga Automobile Industry Group, the biggest problem is lack of money.

Having said all this, Samir Khalil naturally stopped going around in circles, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang means that if your Volga Automobile Factory is willing to cooperate, they can provide you with Excelle This car... Do you know this Excelle car? It is the most popular compact car in the Chinese auto market, so many foreign compact models can't compete with it... Whether it is CKD or the introduction of a whole car, you can talk about it .”

Huateng Excelle?

Valentin Matviyenko, who has done a lot of research on Huateng Motors, of course knows this car. He not only knows this car, but also has detailed information about this car. He knows that this car is unrivaled in the Chinese market. , I even saw the evaluation pictures of this car on Sohu. Although I can’t understand Chinese, I can look at the pictures in the evaluation article. Looking at the intuitive expression of space in the pictures, Valentin · Matviyenko is very jealous.

But at this moment, what does the Samir Khalil family say?Can the Excelle car be transferred to the outside world?
For a while, Valentin Matviyenko's breathing began to become rapid. The old man is not good at controlling his emotions. He said excitedly: "Mr. Khalil, are you kidding me? Hua Teng Is the car really willing to transfer the technology of the Excelle to us?"

Valentin Matviyenko was very excited: This is Excelle. In the Chinese market, even Toyota, Honda, Ford, Volkswagen and other joint venture brands will bow their heads to Excelle!If the Volga Automobile Factory can introduce Excelle, let alone increase Lada's market share by 1%, at most two years, he is sure to increase by 5%!

Samir Khalil is right. Compared with the annual sales in the Syrian market, even if the market share of the Russian local market increases by one percentage point, that would be great!

"Of course!" Samir Khalil nodded affirmatively: "But you have to understand that this is not free."

Valentin Matviyenko's heart sank: he forgot that he had to pay for it...

The word "pay" is still a bit heavy for Valentin Matviyenko,

As the saying goes, money is the courage of a hero. Valentin Matviyenko, who was in a very happy mood just now, lost all confidence when he heard that he had to pay: We have no money...

"Of course, Mr. Zhang said that they have also fully considered the current situation of the Volga Automobile Factory, so the payment method is not entangled in dollars," Samir Khalil went on to say: "It would be great if the Volga Automobile Factory had U.S. dollars. But if there is no US dollar, it is acceptable to use crude oil, wood and other things to offset the price, and even if you do not have funds for technical transformation for the time being, Huateng Group can provide a loan and pay it back after earning money..."

Ok?
Can this be done?
Hearing Samir Khalil say that if there is no U.S. dollar, you can use wood, crude oil, etc. to offset the price, and even provide loans for technological improvement. Valentin Matviyenko suddenly became energetic: If this is the case, then It's so flexible to operate...

Just when Valentin Matviyenko couldn't help but think happily in his heart how much change this would bring to the Volga Automobile Factory, how much market share it would increase, and how many benefits it would bring to him, and even When it was not possible to directly refuse to repay the money, Samir Khalil borrowed and said: "Mr. Zhang said that the specific payment method can be discussed. In addition, how to ensure that you can pay in a timely manner?" Payment, that also needs to be discussed.”

The last words of Samir Khalil poured cold water on Valentin Matviyenko’s head, which made him suddenly wake up: Huateng Auto is willing to do business with Volga Automobile Factory , I am willing to transfer the Excelle car to the Volga Automobile Factory, but it does not mean that he is a fool. Even if he is crazy about taking advantage, he also has ideas. If he goes with the intention of taking advantage, hehe...

Thinking of this, Valentin Matviyenko calmed down instantly. He nodded and said, "I see, Mr. Khalil, thank you for providing me with this news."

Knowing such important news, how could Valentin Matviyenko have the heart to grind his teeth with Samir Khalil?He can't wait to discuss this matter with other people in the company. As for the Syrian market, who cares about it now?
Samir Khalil on the other end of the phone wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile, "You're welcome, we are friends."

Finally, as planned with Zhang Qihang before, Valentin Matviyenko's attention was attracted to Huateng Automobile, and he himself could breathe a sigh of relief.

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

Not to mention Valentin Matviyenko's eagerness to call the company's executives to discuss cooperation with Huateng Automobile, but only Samir Khalil's side, after the end of the meeting with Valentin Matviyenko After Tvyenko's call, he immediately called Zhang Qihang impatiently.

Hearing Samir Khalil's quick introduction, Zhang Qihang was also very happy: "So, Mr. Matviyenko is very interested in this proposal?"

Samir Khalil said excitedly: "It's not just that he is very interested, I think Mr. Matviyenko is not usually interested in your proposal! I guess he will contact you soon. "

Speaking of this, Samir Khalil said gratefully to Zhang Qihang: "Mr. Zhang, thank you. If it weren't for you, we might be in trouble in Syria this time."

Samir Khalil's words are not just nonsense. After all, the Volga Automobile Factory is an old-fashioned automobile factory inherited from the former Soviet Union. The income is not a small amount for the current Russia and even the Volga Automobile Factory. After all, with the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Russian automobile industry, especially the civilian automobile industry, has shrunk rapidly, and the export volume has become less and less. It can be forgotten that a few countries such as Syria export to earn foreign exchange. Although relying on the export of crude oil, Russia has a lot of foreign exchange reserves, but if it loses the Syrian market, Russia will still feel distressed.

But now, according to the method given by Zhang Qihang before, it has really successfully diverted the attention of the Volga Automobile Factory, and Samir Khalil is of course happy in his heart.

Zhang Qihang smiled and said: "We are friends, of course friends should help each other."

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

Zhang Qihang and Samir Khalil were all beaming. Besides, on Lao Maozi’s side, after Valentin Matviyenko reported the situation to the executives of the group, the situation was different from that of Valentin. Matviyenko thought a little differently. He was surprised to find that everyone didn't seem very excited.

This situation made Valentin Matviyenko a little surprised: What is this situation?
Looking around and seeing no one talking, Valentin Matviyenko simply called the name: "Shestakov, tell me first, what do you think about this matter?"

"This one……"

The deputy general manager, Sergey Shestakov, was full of confusion, hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Sir, are we really going to import automobile technology from China?"
