Set sail1992

Until he left, Yamada Jiro did not answer Zhang Qihang's questions.

Zhang Qihang was not in a hurry. Although Yamada Jiro didn't answer, he didn't refuse either, right? This in itself explains a lot of problems. For example, he is really not very happy working at Mitsubishi Motors...

Zhang Qihang thought that Yamada Jiro was unhappy with his job at Mitsubishi Motors and might want to change places. But what he didn't expect was that less than a week later, Yamada Jiro came to visit him again. After seeing Zhang Qihang After that, he bowed politely to Zhang Qihang: "Hello, Mr. Zhang, we meet again."

"Yes, we met again," Zhang Qihang was a little curious: "Mr. Yamada, you said on the phone before that you had already thought about it..."

Zhang Qihang is not someone who Jiro Yamada can meet whenever he wants. On the one hand, Zhang Qihang has a high position. On the other hand, Zhang Qihang is too busy and has not made an appointment in advance. You know that Zhang Qihang is at the moment. Visiting more important leaders or are you busy with something?

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Qihang was even more surprised when he learned that Yamada Jiro said that he had already thought about it.

"Hi!"

Yamada Jiro responded, looked at Zhang Qihang and said: "Zhang Jun, after I went back last time, I thought about it for a long time. You are right. I am really not willing to just waste my time at Mitsubishi Motors. I hope I can come up with something." Several pieces to be proud of.”

"Um……"

Zhang Qihang nodded and motioned for Yamada Jiro to continue.

"I have communicated with the president. The president is sorry that Mitsubishi Motors cannot provide me with such a stage due to the current situation, but he also encourages me to bravely come out, but..."

Speaking of this, Yamada Jiro paused for a moment and finally got to the point: "Your Excellency, the president, hopes that I can help Mitsubishi Motors one last time."

Let me just say...

Let me just say that given the stubbornness of Japanese people, why did Yamada Jiro change his attitude so quickly? This is the original reason.

Smiling, Zhang Qihang asked: "Is this 'the last time to help' related to our Huateng Group?"

"Hi!"

Yamada Jiro blushed, obviously he also felt that what he did in this matter was a bit unethical, but he still bit the bullet and said: "That's it, after knowing that you are planning to get involved in off-road vehicles, what the president means is... Can we work together for once?”

Zhang Qihang had a look of difference on his face: "Mr. Yamada, have you asked the wrong person about this? If it's a car, I think there are still opportunities for cooperation between us, but off-road vehicles... With all due respect, who doesn't know Mitsubishi Motors?" Achievements in off-road and four-wheel drive? Pajero's name is still echoing in the Dakar Rally."

Hearing Zhang Qihang's words, Yamada Jiro's face became even more embarrassed: "Hi! Zhang Jun, it's like this. From a technical point of view, we at Mitsubishi Motors believe that we never lose to others, but the problem now is not technology, but The reason is that we at Mitsubishi have not been able to grasp the needs of the market over the years, and our product development concepts seem to be incompatible with the market. However, Mr. Zhang, you have a transcendent talent in this regard and can have a keen insight into what the market and consumers need. product. So what the president means is, if Huateng Group is indeed interested in developing an off-road vehicle, can we both cooperate on this project?"

"cooperate?"

Zhang Qihang said with great interest: "How to cooperate?"

Seeing that Zhang Qihang didn't seem to be very opposed, Yamada Jiro breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said: "Of course you are responsible for the design and development of the vehicle. As for off-road technology and products, we will provide all relevant support. , after the development of the product is finally completed, the property rights belong to both parties.

Of course, this is just our preliminary idea. We can discuss any ideas you have, such as the technology transfer of the Pajero V33 chassis that you previously communicated with Changfeng Automobile. "

After hearing what Jiro Yamada said, Zhang Qihang understood: Mitsubishi Motors is really in a hurry!

Having said that, it’s no wonder that Mitsubishi Motors is anxious. Seeing its market share in China and even around the world declining, its income has dropped year after year, and it has even reached the point where it has to rely on group bookings with others to survive. Mitsubishi Motors How could the top executives not be anxious?

After many previous hard attempts without achieving significant results, Mitsubishi Motors took this opportunity as a last resort and set its sights on Huateng Group and Zhang Qihang: Zhang Qihang's ability in market grasp and product design is so high, if He can help Mitsubishi Motors design a car. This car's market performance should be good, and it should be able to help Mitsubishi Motors buy time, right?

Of course, Mitsubishi Motors also understands that it is impossible for Zhang Qihang to design a car for himself alone. Most likely, could the two parties cooperate to develop a new car?

The key point and difficulty in this matter is whether Zhang Qihang can be persuaded, or in other words, how attractive Mitsubishi's off-road vehicle technology is to Zhang Qihang.

Zhang Qihang was really interested in Yamada Jiro's proposal.

To be honest, even though Mitsubishi is in dire straits now, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and a rotten ship still has 3,000 nails. Mitsubishi, the representative manufacturer of Japanese cars, still has a lot of good things. If nothing else, just The chassis, super-selected four-wheel drive system on the Pajero, and the full-time four-wheel drive technology on the Lancer Evolution are the kind of things that make many manufacturers around the world drool over them.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Qihang asked: "Mr. Yamada, what do you mean, if I agree to design this car, Mitsubishi Motors is willing to transfer the chassis technology of the Pajero V33 and the second-generation super-selected four-wheel drive technology to us for free?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, I can't answer this question for you. It involves a lot," Yamada Jiro said to Zhang Qihang with a wry smile: "The president's original words are: If you are interested in this cooperation, the two sides will be the best. It’s good to be able to form a professional team and communicate on the details of cooperation.”

"That's it..."

Zhang Qihang smiled, looked up at Yamada Jiro and said, "Yamada-kun, it's already this time, you Mitsubishi are still playing this small-minded way?"

The reason why Mitsubishi Motors did not make any commitments in the early stage, but said it would "form a negotiation team and communicate on the details", is obviously to observe and then constantly adjust its principles and bottom line based on Huateng Group's loyalty to its own technology. The idea is that if Huateng Group attaches great importance to the Pajero V33's territory and super-selected four-wheel drive technology, then it will get more benefits. Otherwise, just relax...

It can be said that Mitsubishi has made a good calculation!
