Set sail1992

Looking at the several cars in front of him, the grocery store owner's eyes shone: "Oh my god... Sir, are these cars all your company's products? Are they really so cheap?"

The store owner's reaction made Jiang He and Secretary Wang a bit confused: What's going on with this store owner? Why such a reaction?

Jiang He had naturally read the article that Xiao Wang had read about the development of tricycles in Europe from the mid-1940s to the mid-1950s. It was precisely because of the preconceived impression of that article that they felt that tricycles and There is probably no market for minivans in Europe. The reason why we came to Europe for inspection is more because of everyone’s blind trust in Zhang Qihang over the years - I think this is unlikely, but since it was Mr. Zhang who said it, maybe Maybe there is really a chance?

It was with this mentality that Jiang He brought his secretary to Italy. But what he didn't expect was that the owner of the first grocery store he asked gave an unexpected response.

"Yes, these cars are our company's products, and the prices in China are even a little cheaper than this," Jiang He said, suddenly slapping his head: "We are a very powerful company, the Mercedes-Benz CLS is This car was designed jointly with our company.”

"Mercedes-Benz CLS?"

Sure enough, when he heard the name of Mercedes-Benz CLS, the grocery store owner immediately became serious: "Your company actually cooperates with Mercedes-Benz?"

Needless to say, the popularity of Mercedes-Benz cars. As a four-door coupe launched by Mercedes-Benz in the past two years, the Mercedes-Benz CLS has been widely welcomed in Europe because the overall shape of this car is so beautiful. , so that some tidbits about this car are also widely circulated in Europe. For example, this car "collided" with a Chinese car brand in terms of design concept, but Mercedes-Benz is really reluctant to give up the "four-door coupe" concept, and finally the two parties reached a cooperation or something like that...

The grocery store owner had seen these reports in the newspaper before and was planning to buy a Mercedes-Benz CLS. However, he felt that these were irresponsible gossips and might even be used by Mercedes-Benz's competitors to slander Mercedes-Benz. It was a low-level smear method, but now that he heard these two Chinese people say this, the store owner's mind instantly flashed into the news he had seen before.

Seeing the shop owner's reaction, Jiang He thought for a while, then took out his laptop, opened the website and pointed it out to the other party: "Sir, look, this is our company's official website. This news report was about our relationship with Mercedes-Benz at that time. The scene when signing the cooperation agreement.”

The grocery store owner can't read Chinese, but it doesn't matter. The huge words "Mercedes Benz" on the red banner at the back and the pictures in the article all highlight the connection between this article and the Mercedes-Benz company and the Mercedes-Benz CLS four-door coupe. Relationship.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the article, the grocery store owner looked at Jiang He and Xiao Wang with eyes filled with respect: "Two gentlemen, it turns out you work for such a proud company! I was so rude just now."

Although I don’t know the name of this Chinese company, since this company can cooperate with a world-renowned group like Mercedes-Benz, I guess they are also very powerful. Such a company deserves my respect.

Regarding the other party's reaction, Jiang He somewhat expected it, otherwise he would not be able to take the initiative to mention the cooperation between Huateng Group and Mercedes-Benz. He smiled and said: "Our company is a very large industrial group with an annual output value of more than 500 billion US dollars. Previously, we We have been developing in Asia, Africa and the Middle East, and now we are ready to try the European market and bring cheaper and lower-cost commercial vehicles to European consumers..."

Speaking of this, Jiang He deliberately said with emotion: "We found that the mainstream light commercial vehicles in Europe are Ford Transit, Iveco, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and other models. It is not bad for those larger enterprises, but for small and medium-sized industrial and commercial owners in Everbright Generally speaking, the purchase and use costs are still a bit high.”

In addition to Ford Transit, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Mercedes-Benz Vito, there are many light passenger products widely used by small industrial and commercial owners in Europe, such as Toyota Hiace, Volkswagen Caddy, Fiat Ducato and other models, and some smaller owners , and even use their own pickup trucks, station wagons and other models to engage in transportation business, but there is no need to say this. "Yes, yes," Jiang He's words immediately received the approval and recognition of the other party. The grocery store owner nodded repeatedly: "These cars are too expensive. Not only is the purchase cost high, but the fuel cost and annual insurance are also quite high. The amount... Sir, I really can’t understand, how can your company’s products be so cheap? Why can you buy them for 2000 euros?”

You can buy a car for 2000 euros, and it's brand new. This is really beyond his comprehension.

"I can explain this," Jiang He smiled and nodded: "This is the 2000-euro product you mentioned. It is a cargo-type three-wheeled motorcycle equipped with an enhanced water-cooled motorcycle engine with a displacement of 250CC. The rated load is 0.5 tons, but in fact, in China, many of your counterparts carry cargo weighing 1.5 to 2 tons."

"God, this little guy is really capable."

"Yes, this little guy is indeed very capable, but it is not without its shortcomings."

"Oh? What's the shortcoming?"

When Jiang He said that this three-wheeled motorcycle had shortcomings, the grocery store owner was not shocked. Instead, he nodded repeatedly with an expression like "I guessed that!"

"Unlike those 120CC two-wheeled motorcycles whose top speed is over 250 kilometers per hour, in order to carry the load, we increased the gear ratio of the transmission. As a result, the top speed of this vehicle is only 85 kilometers per hour. In addition, The fuel consumption is also higher. When fully loaded, the fuel consumption per 4 kilometers is about liters.

In addition, what you see is that there is no cab that can protect you from wind and rain, and the rear cargo box is not a fully enclosed box, but..."

Speaking of this, Jiang He shrugged: "It only costs 2000 US dollars, 2000 US dollars! It can run up to 85 kilometers and can easily carry a ton of cargo. It's worth it, right?

Moreover, if you are not satisfied with this configuration, you can also pay a little more to choose a version with a fully enclosed cab and a fully enclosed cargo box;

If you feel that three wheels are not safe enough, you can also choose a four-wheel model. This is a standard car. The whole vehicle is designed completely according to car standards and complies with the collision regulations of various countries. The only problem is that the power is a bit weak, but for small and medium-sized cars, For industrial and commercial owners, this thing is completely sufficient..."
