"Do you want to do OEM work for Huateng Automobile? That would be a good idea."

The old secretary nodded. The current Huateng Group has two foundry bases in the northwest and northeast. They are Qinchuan Automobile in the northwest, which was the Qinchuan Machinery Factory back then, and Jiangbei Machinery Factory in the northeast. Not to mention that they are working hard. Qinchuan Machinery Factory, which develops its own brand, even the Jiangbei Machinery Factory back then, is still very prosperous by doing OEM work for Huateng Group. Changfeng Automobile's production capacity utilization rate is insufficient. In this case, if It is indeed a good way to get the OEM order from Huateng Automobile.

Of course, the reason why he agrees with Zhao Jie's idea is because he knows that as sales are getting higher and higher, Huateng Industrial Group is looking for ways to expand production capacity. In addition, we are all state-owned enterprises. If Hunan Province comes forward, Lu Province There should be no reason for anyone to reject such a win-win cooperation plan. The only question is how big a piece Changfeng Motors can take away from this cake, but no matter how big a piece can be cut off, Changfeng Motors will not suffer. .

Seeing the old secretary nodding in agreement with his idea, Zhao Jie breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "As for the poor sales of Qi Bing and Black King Kong, my idea is, in addition to purchasing powertrains from Huateng Group, can I entrust Zhang Can you help us re-optimize the appearance and interior?"

Zhao Jie is very satisfied with the appearance of Cheetah Raiders and Black Panther. He feels that it is classic enough. The overall shape does not need to be changed. It only requires a slight optimization and adjustment in local positions. However, compared with today's popular The interiors of Cheetah and Black Panther are indeed too old. If Zhang Qihang can be asked to help re-optimize the interiors, Zhao Jie believes that these two cars can still compete for a few more years.

Li Jianxin pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you think Comrade Zhang Qihang can agree?"

"I don't think it's a big problem," Zhao Jie said, "After all, Hua Teng Industrial Group has always had business in this area."

"This is also..."

After a slight pause, Li Jianxin asked: "But if Mitsubishi asks, how are you going to reply to them? After all, Mitsubishi is our shareholder of Changfeng."

"..."

Speaking of this matter, Zhao Jie couldn't help but frown.

Yes, why did Mitsubishi Motors transfer all the technologies of the second-generation Pajero V31 and V33 to Changfeng Motors, and also gave the CKD OEM of the third-generation Pajero V73 and V77 to Changfeng Motors? It is because Mitsubishi Motors itself is also a shareholder of Changfeng Motors.

In 96, the General Logistics Department approved the restructuring of Changfeng Motors, which was still called Factory 7319 at the time. From then on, Factory 7319 was officially renamed Changfeng (Group) Co., Ltd. Mitsubishi Motors of Japan also invested nearly 6000 million yuan in shares and became a shareholder of Changfeng Motors. one.

Backed by the big tree of Mitsubishi, Changfeng Motors has been unparalleled in the mid-to-late 90s and the beginning of the new century for more than 10 years. At its peak, the output value of Changfeng Motors alone accounted for half of the output value of the entire city of Yongzhou. above.

Of course, Mitsubishi is not a good bird. They have not put all their resources on the Cheetah. In addition to Changfeng, there are a bunch of other manufacturers that have also produced Pajero in various ways. In addition, Mitsubishi even gave Changfeng Motors an off-road vehicle. In terms of technology, in the field of cars, Mitsubishi supports another company: Southeast Motors.

In the past few years, with the strong support of Mitsubishi, Southeast Motors has been prospering in the car market. Even relying on its relationship with the same origin as the Lancer Evolution, Southeast Lingshuai has been favored by modified car enthusiasts. You can often see Lingshuai modified into a fourth-generation Lancer EVO on the street.

Seeing that Southeast Motor is thriving due to the support of Mitsubishi, but it is gradually declining, it is impossible to say that Changfeng Motor has no resentment in its psychology. But the problem is that Mitsubishi is a shareholder of Changfeng, and what can Changfeng have? Now we have lost Mitsubishi's support over the years. This is an unavoidable fact. How to deal with it will really test Zhao Jie's wisdom. "Old secretary, that's what I think," Zhao Jie said after a moment of silence: "Mitsubishi is a shareholder of our Changfeng. This is a fact, but we are a state-controlled enterprise after all. We are the big ones only with the Hunan Provincial State-owned Assets Office." Shareholders, if Mitsubishi is willing to support our move, that would be great. After all, if we make money, it means Mitsubishi makes money, but if they don't agree... then let's go to the board of directors to vote."

After saying these words, Zhao Jie was actually facing a lot of pressure.

The reason is also very simple. Although Mitsubishi is only a small shareholder of Changfeng, theoretically the company's development must follow the wishes of the major shareholder, the Hunan Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, but in practice it is not that simple? Several of Changfeng Motor's products, and even Changfeng Motor's main profit points, come from Mitsubishi's products and technical support.

To put it more directly, Mitsubishi is Changfeng’s wet nurse. Without Mitsubishi’s support in terms of products and technology, not to mention Changfeng Motor itself, even Hunan Province would not have a bottom line. Even Zhao Jie’s move itself was It will attract opposition from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Hunan Province. From this perspective, Zhao Jie is indeed carrying huge pressure.

Li Jianxin naturally understood this, so after hearing Zhao Jie's words, he did not speak immediately. Instead, he lit a cigarette and took two strong puffs before saying in a deep voice: "Have you thought about it?"

"Think about it," Zhao Jie nodded: "Mitsubishi has indeed helped us Changfeng a lot, but in the past few years...and when the children grow up, they will definitely have to be weaned, and they will definitely have to go out and work on their own."

"Is that so..."

Li Jianxin thought again for a while, then said with a wry smile: "Xiao Zhao, you have given me a big problem."

He also didn't expect Zhao Jie to be so courageous.

"Ha ha……"

Zhao Jie gave a wry smile and said, "Old Secretary, I can't help it. You have also seen that although our company looks very glamorous on the outside, in fact... the financial pressure this year is very great. I also care about it." Not that much anymore.”

"..."

When Li Jianxin heard this, he nodded involuntarily: Yes, he has a production line with an annual output of 20 vehicles, but the operating rate is only a little bit, but the staff wages, equipment depreciation and other fixed costs cannot be less. Although the current Changfeng Automobile's evaluation and reputation in the society are indeed very good, it is indeed a bit superficial. Zhao Jie is under a lot of pressure, but how can his own pressure be so small?

Thinking of this, Li Jianxin no longer hesitated and nodded vigorously: "That's right, I can't care about so much!"
