Chapter 1215 A Little Trouble
A week later, Changan Automobile and Huateng Group formally signed a cooperation agreement. Changan Automobile will introduce a complete set of parallel shaft automatic transmission technology from Huateng Group. Huateng Group will provide all technical support and provide hydraulic valve plates, All core accessories including torque converter and TCU.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused quite a stir in the auto industry!
Although Huateng Group had issued cooperation invitations to various automobile manufacturing companies before, everyone was excited, but they have been waiting and watching to see who will come out to be this "early bird", but everyone did not expect Yes, Changan Auto was the first to reach a cooperation agreement with Huateng Group.

Although Changan Automobile cannot be compared with the old predecessors in the automobile industry such as Big Brother, Second Brother, Shouqi, and SAIC Motor, it is definitely a well-established company. Such a well-established company, combined with the previous BorgWarner The menacing actions and the attitude of the above are obvious at this moment: the parents are very dissatisfied with BorgWarner's previous attitude.

After knowing the attitude of the above, the development of the matter is logical: following Changan Automobile, JAC, Geely and other second-tier domestic automobile brands have also sent representatives to contact Huateng Group. For a while, Mr. Feng very busy...

Mr. Feng is very busy, so what did Zhang Qihang do?
Zhang Qihang is busy running the Olympic Games of Fengya Teana Car.

"Using the Teana car as the official car for the high-end reception during the Olympic Games? This is a good idea," Song Yuehua's eyes lit up when he heard Zhang Qihang's idea, and then he complained: "Such a good idea, what did you say before?" ?”

For the whole of China, this Olympic Games is very important, and because of this, all walks of life have sharpened their heads to find ways to participate in this grand event. Lu Province naturally attaches great importance to this Olympic Games, I very much hope to use the platform of the Olympic Games to promote Lu Province, and at the same time, do a good job of publicity for some key enterprises in Lu Province. Among them, Huateng Group is one of the enterprises that the province places high hopes on.

It's just a pity that although Huateng Group won the title of "Olympic Sponsor", the province's long-awaited goal of making Huateng Automobile a travel partner for the Olympics has not been achieved.

Although the relevant units and leaders have also given explanations and repeatedly expressed apologies, everyone understands that Shouqi is the son of the capital, just like if the Olympic Games were held in Shanghai, then the products of SAIC It is also bound to become the main sponsor of the Olympic Games.

Faced with this situation, although everyone was helpless, they also expressed their understanding, but now, Huateng Group has proposed the concept of "receiving official designated cars for high-end reception", which made Comrade Song Yuehua suddenly feel like "a bright future": if you can Wouldn't it be better to win the title of "Official Designated Car for High-end Olympic Reception"?

"We just thought of it," Zhang Qihang was a little embarrassed: "Speaking of it, Mr. Zhu from Chang'an Automobile provided us, and he joked that if it wasn't because Chang'an Automobile didn't have a high-end brand, he wouldn't be cheap for us, and Take this opportunity to beat me to a meal."

Song Yuehua naturally heard that Zhang Qihang was joking, and nodded with a smile: "You should treat Mr. Zhu well."

"Well, I think so too," Zhang Qihang nodded quickly, and then expressed his intention: "Leader, I have some ideas about this matter..."

For Zhang Qihang's words, Song Yuehua was not surprised at all: Zhang Qihang came to him for help, if he had no idea, it would be strange.He nodded and said, "If you have any ideas, you can just say it."

"For this Olympics, not only we are watching, but other manufacturers are also watching. In terms of high-end reception vehicles, not only us, Audi and Beiben also have some ideas," Zhang Qihang said sincerely while looking at Song Yuehua : "Leader, I am very confident in the quality of our products, and I am afraid that the opponent will make some off-the-shelf tricks..."

In fact, even if Zhang Qihang didn't explain, Song Yuehua knew that Audi was staring at the sponsorship of high-end reception cars for the Olympic Games.
Not only Audi is greedy, but even Mercedes-Benz is also greedy!

Don't forget, there is another company under the Shouqi Group called Beiben. Do you want Beiben to get involved?They think too much, but the organizing committee should also pay attention to the impact, and can’t give all the benefits to Shouqi—you take the taxi business, and it’s not suitable to give Shouqi the high-end reception vehicles. Otherwise, don't call this Olympic Games the Huaxia Olympic Games, just call it the Capital Olympic Games to save trouble?

As for what Zhang Qihang was looking for, Song Yuehua knew very well in his heart, so he immediately nodded happily: "Don't worry about this, the Olympic Games are the Olympic Games for the people of the whole country."

The implication is that everyone can discuss anything, and they will definitely not mess around.

Zhang Qihang smiled and nodded, this is what he wanted.

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

While everything is going well with Huateng Group, there is a cloud over BorgWarner (Huaxia)!
Although before this, BorgWarner knew that Huateng Group had issued cooperation invitations to major domestic automakers in China, BorgWarner did not take this matter lightly, and did a lot of small tricks and public relations, but in the Knowing that Changan Automobile and Huateng Group signed the automatic transmission technology transfer agreement, Bob Brownlee stayed for a few minutes, his face changed to a disastrous defeat, and he said in a distraught voice: "How dare they? How dare they?"

It is no wonder that Bob Brownlee would react like this. It is true that Americans in this era are used to arrogance and self-importance, and they are not used to resistance from others at all. In their view, "We put forward conditions and requirements, and you will It should be implemented honestly" is the normal mode of cooperation with American companies. As for opposing the United States?How can this be?

It is no wonder that American companies and executives have such thoughts. You must know that it was not until 2004 that Fuyao Glass won the first international lawsuit between China and the United States after China's accession to the WTO. Before that, domestic companies didn't even have the idea of ​​taking up legal weapons to protect themselves. No matter what unfair treatment foreign governments gave to Huaxia enterprises and Huaxia products, everyone's instinctive reaction was "this is what the government said. , What else can we do?", or "He is a local snake, let's make less money, it's better than nothing", and there is no idea or idea to go to court with foreign companies or foreign governments. .

In fact, when Fuyao formally sued the U.S. Department of Commerce, their actions were not favored by others. Numerous domestic bosses in the foreign trade industry ridiculed Lao Cao in various ways: Do Fuyao want to do business in the U.S. in the future?An old hat dared to sue the American government department, he really didn't know how he died!

So much so that when the final trial results came out in October 2004, many people couldn't even believe their ears, thinking they had heard false news: How did Lao Cao win?How can he win the lawsuit?That's the U.S. Department of Commerce.

It took a long time for many people to accept the news.

But even after confirming this news, entrepreneurs in the foreign trade industry rarely take up legal weapons to protect their rights and interests like Fuyao when they suffer unfair treatment in the future. It's just a play jointly performed by the American government and Fuyao, the purpose is to show the world how fair and honest their American government is-what is actually going on, when we don't know in our hearts?
It is precisely because of this that even though Fuyao has made a sample for everyone before, in the eyes of giants like BorgWarner, they still look down on China's auto manufacturers, and even think that they are not as good as those companies engaged in foreign trade—— ——Those Chinese companies that go to the United States to do business still have the guts to go out. These Chinese auto manufacturers don’t even dare to go out. This is why they dared to give such excessive conditions before. But now, The Huateng Group slapped them hard and loudly. The slap was so severe that Bob Brownlee couldn't accept it.

It was his secretary who was the first to react and quickly reminded Bob Brownlee: "Sir, such a serious and unimaginable situation has happened, shouldn't you report it to the group headquarters as soon as possible?"

Report to the group headquarters?

After being reminded by his secretary, Bob Brownlee finally came to his senses: Yes, the top priority is that he must report to the group headquarters as soon as possible!

Thinking of this, Bob Brownlee didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest. Even though it was already night in America and his boss had probably already rested, he still mustered up the courage to call Walker Eriksson .

Walker Eriksson had just fallen asleep, and was woken up by Bob Brownlee's phone call. Walker Eriksson, who had mild difficulty falling asleep, received a call from Bob Brownlee. At the moment of Brownlee's phone call, he was in a terrible mood, and shouted angrily at the phone: "Bob, do you know what time it is? If there is no good enough news, I will never let it go." you!"

Listening to the roar of his own boss on the other end of the phone, Bob Brownlee swallowed, but he didn't dare to be cautious, he said cautiously: "Boss, I might disappoint you, just now, I just now After receiving the news, Huaxia's Changan Automobile and Huateng Group signed a cooperation agreement on automatic transmission."
