Chapter 1145 Reaching Cooperation
Zhang Qihang nodded happily: "Of course it's okay to sell, but if it's sold to the outside world, the price won't be 5000 million US dollars. After all, if it's sold, it's a commodity. Our previous input costs have to be included in it, and we have to sell it outside Sending personnel to your place for equipment installation and commissioning will cost money, and we have to make money.”

The reason is of course this, and Valentin Matviyenko also agrees, but hearing what Zhang Qihang said, he couldn't help being a little terrified: "Then... how much does it cost?"

5000 million US dollars is not cheap anymore, if additional money is needed, Valentin Matviyenko feels that his little heart can't accept it.

"I can't say exactly what the price is." Zhang Qihang was a little embarrassed, and quickly explained: "After all, the prices of some things and equipment have changed a lot compared to when we made them, and some equipment has even been discontinued. , There is a newer model, so the cost needs to be recalculated.

In addition, technology has improved a lot in the past few years. Many of our ideas back then were very good and could greatly improve efficiency. However, due to the technical level at that time, we had to give up or make up for it temporarily. However, after several years of development , maybe the idea at that time can be realized now..."

Speaking of this, seeing Valentin Matviyenko's hesitant expression, Zhang Qihang immediately understood what he was worried about, and immediately smiled and said: "But generally speaking, not always It should not exceed 7000 million U.S. dollars.”

Zhang Qihang felt that the price of 7000 million US dollars was more reliable, but in the ears of Valentin Matviyenko, he was shocked by Valentin Matviyenko: $7000 million? !

If Valentin Matviyenko still felt that his little heart couldn't bear it just now, then at this moment, Valentin Matviyenko's heart twitched: so expensive...

After hesitating for a while, Valentin Matviyenko finally smiled bitterly and said to Zhang Qihang: "Mr. Zhang, the price of 7000 million US dollars, we may not be able to bear it..."

"Is that so?" Zhang Qihang frowned when he heard the words: "But the reason why our Excelle sedan can still guarantee the quality and reliability under such a large production scale is that this automatic detection system has played a very important role. ……I wasn’t going to say something at first, but now I think it’s better to say it. The quality control of your Volga Automobile Factory is not very good. If you don’t find a way to improve the production quality, I’m a little worried. The technology has been transferred to you, will the Excelle produced by you have an impact on our production?"

Hearing this, Valentin Matviyenko became anxious immediately. He didn't expect that whether the Volga Automobile Factory would introduce this automatic detection system would be related to whether he could successfully introduce the Excelle.

But at the same time, he had to admit that Zhang Qihang's worry was justified. Through the understanding during this period of time, Valentin Matviyenko also knew that the Excelle is the current flagship model of Huateng Group. The product strength of the car is irrelevant in all dimensions, but now, a possible risk has emerged: if the Huateng Industrial Group sells the technology of the Excelle to the Volga Automobile Factory, and the Volga Automobile Factory produces The Excelle sedan... Even if this car still bears the Lada logo... If there is a problem with quality control, then when the Russian media reports this matter, they will say that the Volga Automobile Factory is in product quality control Aspects?
Do not!
They will only say that there is a problem with the design of this Excelle car!
There is even another layer that everyone can only comprehend but not express: If the Excelle sedan produced by the Volga Automobile Factory has a large area of ​​quality problems, then, in order to shirk its responsibility, will the Volga Automobile Factory report it in private through the media? This pot is dumped on Huateng Industrial Group?
Don't say that this kind of thing is impossible, similar things are so normal.

Just when Valentin Matviyenko was frowning and thinking about how to answer Zhang Qihang, Sergey Shestakov asked Zhang Qihang: "Mr. Zhang, what is the situation of our Volga car?" You also know that you should know that we really can't afford such a large sum of money..."

Zhang Qihang raised his eyebrows: "So?"

"So, do you think there is any way to solve this problem?" Sergey Shestakov asked: "For example, provide us with or contact us with a loan. Considering the current financial situation of our company, this loan The interest rate should be lower and the repayment period should be longer."

Valentin Matviyenko's eyes lit up immediately: That's right, Sergey's idea is good. Huateng Industrial Group can contact Huaxia Bank to provide loans for this project.

Zhang Qihang frowned suddenly. He didn't expect Sergei Shestakov to put forward such a condition, asking him to contact them for a loan?

But I have to say that Sergei Shestakov's method is indeed a solution, but the problem is that Zhang Qihang doesn't have enough confidence in Lao Maozi.

Contacting the loan is actually not a problem. If you have confidence in Lao Maozi, Huateng Group can even provide this loan to the Volga Automobile Factory in the form of physical goods and labor services. The point is that Zhang Qihang does not trust Lao Maozi's credit very much. Zhang Qihang felt that there might be a big question mark over whether Huateng Group could recover the money smoothly.

As for helping Lao Maozi get a loan, Zhang Qihang thinks that is even more nonsense. It is not impossible to help Lao Maozi get a loan. As long as he provides a guarantee, the bank will be happy, but the problem is that if Lao Maozi reneges on his debt, the bank will find Huateng Group at the door asking for money.

But such a refusal is definitely inappropriate. Zhang Qihang pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "I can help you contact the bank, but I can't guarantee the interest rate and repayment period. Mr. Stakov, even if the bank is willing to provide you with a loan, I think the bank will make corresponding requirements, such as targeted supervision on the use of this fund, are you sure you can accept such conditions?"

Sergei Shestakov didn't dare to answer this question casually, but turned to look at Valentin Matviyenko - after all, he was only the deputy general manager of the company, asking some questions and It’s okay to doubt, but a decision like this still needs to be made by Valentin Matviyenko, who is the general manager of the company.

Seeing Sergey Shestakov looking at Valentin Matviyenko, Zhang Qihang was also a little curious about how Valentin Matviyenko would answer—on the other hand, Valentin Matvienko Matviyenko's answer also affected Zhang Qihang's judgment on the cooperation between the two parties.

Under the watchful eyes of the accompanying personnel of Huateng Industry and the entourage of the Volga Automobile Factory, Valentin Matviyenko pondered for a long time before slowly opening his mouth and asking Zhang Qihang: "Mr. I would like to ask, in this cooperation, is it necessary to introduce this automatic detection system?"

"of course not!"

Zhang Qihang denied this without hesitation: "Technology transfer is technology transfer. As long as you can guarantee the factory quality of the Kaiyue sedan produced in the future, even if you don't purchase this automatic detection system, we are still willing to submit to you." You transferred the Excelle car, but..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Qihang changed his tone and said, "Mr. Matvienko, please understand our difficulties. After all, your previous performance in product quality control was really bad."

Hearing what Zhang Qihang said, Valentin Matviyenko couldn't help but sighed, but still nodded and said: "I understand what you mean, but for the Volga Automobile Manufacturing Company, which can only be barely maintained , $7000 million is indeed a huge sum of money..."

Speaking of this, Valentin Matviyenko pondered for a while, and said tactfully: "In this way, our cooperation agreement cannot be reached in a day or two. We can first learn that your side did not have this set of automatic detection before. How to ensure product quality when using the system, I think this technology may be more meaningful to us.”

As soon as Valentin Matviyenko finished speaking, other people in the Volga Automobile Manufacturing Company, including Sergey Shestakov, couldn't help nodding, feeling that what the general manager said was absolutely correct Yes, that’s right, for the Volga, which can only barely maintain at this stage, it is more appropriate to think about how Huateng Group has ensured product quality before than spending 7000 million US dollars to introduce an automatic inspection system for the assembly process. .

Hearing this, instead of being angry, Zhang Qihang nodded in relief, "Of course it's okay."

After all, the equipment is dead, and the most important thing is to change the mind. If the Volga Automobile Factory really wants to learn the production site management system of the Huateng Group, Zhang Qihang will definitely not mind, but the problem is, the old man will be willing to deal with it. Such a big discount for ordinary workers?
Anyway, Zhang Qihang is not optimistic.

If you don't like it, you don't like it. Since Valentin Matviyenko wants to learn, Zhang Qihang naturally doesn't mind.

…………

Next, the two sides tacitly avoided this topic, and instead focused on the operation process of the entire assembly line. The highly automated assembly line of Huateng Industrial Group made the old men couldn't help but praise - although the old men themselves The guys used are old-fashioned, but they still know the goods. Looking at the advanced production equipment, the old man's eyes are full of envy.

Especially at the back, watching an Excelle car being driven off the production line every 66 seconds, the old men who saw it were shocked, and some even didn't believe it. I have to admit that Zhang Qihang did not lie before. The production cycle of this final assembly line of Huateng Industrial Group is 1 minute and 06 seconds, which is not bad at all.

In 1 minute and 06 seconds, it only takes 66 seconds for a car to come off the production line. This reality, the envious eyes of Valentin Matviyenko, Sergei Shestakov and others are all It became popular, and Valentin Matviyenko couldn't help but asked Zhang Qihang: "Mr. Zhang, you said before that your production line was developed and produced by Huaxia itself, so the price of this production line should be Is it cheaper than similar products in the world?"

What do you mean?
After actually abandoning the automatic inspection system, Lao Maozi is eyeing this final assembly line again?
That's a good thing!

Zhang Qihang nodded, and did not go around in circles with Valentin Matviyenko, and said cheerfully: "That's right, the price of this assembly line is only about 40% of that of an automobile assembly line with the same international technical level, equivalent to In US dollars, it is about 2500 million or so."

$2500?
Valentin Matviyenko was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "$2500 million is not cheap. If I remember correctly, the same type of car assembly line in Europe seems to be slightly cheaper than this price." It’s higher, around $3000 million or so.”

"You are right. We have also inspected Europe and the United States before." Zhang Qihang did not deny this: "But the price I mentioned has a maximum annual assembly capacity of 35 vehicles, and production lines with the same price level in Europe and the United States. The maximum annual assembly capacity is less than 8 vehicles, right?"

35?

The old men took a deep breath at first, but then, after carefully calculating the production beat, they refused to admit that it was indeed the case, and this was calculated on the basis of 20 hours of production per day.

As for the situation in Europe, they also know that the production line worth 2800 million US dollars that they have learned about before is indeed designed to produce 10 vehicles per year. The production line is really cheap.

After understanding the account, Valentin Matviyenko nodded and said: "I understand when you say that, but Mr. Zhang, you also know that the size of our Russian auto market cannot be compared with yours. , so, a production line with an annual production capacity of 35 vehicles is a serious waste for us, if we only need to introduce a production line with an annual production capacity of 8 to 10 vehicles, what is the price?"

Regarding Valentin Matviyenko's question, Zhang Qihang smiled and did not answer. If he asked Valentin Matviyenko: "Mr. Matviyenko, look at our production line. , didn't you find something unusual?"

Valentin Matviyenko paused for a moment: something unusual?something unusual?
But in the next second, his pupils shrank suddenly: what just passed in front of his eyes was a car he didn't recognize!

He didn't know the name or model of this car, but he knew very well that this was not the Excelle that the Volga Automobile Factory planned to introduce!
