Chapter 788 Who is the designer of this car?
Later, Comrades Chen Haiyang and Song Yuehua, who received a call from Zhang Qihang, were very pleasantly surprised by the sales performance of the Sylphy sedan in the first month of its launch. Both of them understood that this was just the beginning. Momentum, the car project alone will boost Lu Province's GDP by hundreds of billions or even hundreds of billions, so in an instant, the two people who originally attached great importance to this project raised their attention to a higher level in an instant, and hurried to Zhang Qihang asked if there were any difficulties and problems that needed the help of the province to solve.

Zhang Qihang was also not polite, he was worried that the Sylphy sedan would have an impact on the market position of SAIC Santana 2000, and that SAIC might make some small tricks behind the scenes out of embarrassment.

"They dare!"

The attitudes of the two bosses who were immersed in the excitement were highly consistent, and they even said the same thing: "Xiao Zhang, don't worry about this issue, your Huateng Industrial Group is not a motherless child, and there is absolutely no such thing in the province. Will watch you being bullied! Whoever dares to bully you will have to weigh it carefully!
Comrade Qihang, your work performance and ability are all seen by the leaders. Don’t worry, the provincial government’s attitude has always been clear. For comrades with outstanding work ability, we just want to reduce talents without sticking to one pattern and vigorously promote them. and reuse. "

Seeing that Huateng Industrial Group is developing faster and faster, it has an increasing role in driving the economic development of the province, and it contributes more and more taxes and dividends to the province. The big guys look at Huateng Industrial Group and Zhang Qihang is also getting more and more pleasing to the eye, that is, the time for Huateng Industrial Group to be included in the province is still too short, otherwise Zhang Qihang should have mentioned it because of the car project, but even so, as early as Last month, when the sales of the Sylphy sedan were booming, some old comrades in the province suggested that even if it is inappropriate to mention it now, should we give Comrade Zhang Qihang a reassurance?Such a good comrade with excellent work ability and correct attitude, we must do a good job of logistics for him, so as not to make him feel cold.

Even fools can understand the meaning of the words of the old comrades. Coincidentally, this is also the meaning of several leading comrades. Comrades Chen Haiyang and Song Yuehua just took this opportunity to subtly convey the attitude of the province to Zhang Qihang conveyed it.

Naturally, Zhang Qihang expressed repeatedly that he asked the leader to rest assured that I will work hard and earnestly in the future to repay the trust of the leader and the organization in me...

After being polite, he hung up the phone.

Zhao Deqing, Song Yuehua, and Chen Haiyang are in the provincial capital, hundreds of kilometers away from Shungeng City. It is understandable to make a phone call to report the situation, but Yan Baoping's office is only more than ten kilometers away from them, so they must personally I went to pay a visit and get to know the leader by the way—although Comrade Yan Baoping is no longer my leader, he is the "current manager" after all, and he is also the second largest shareholder of the company. Respect must be given, and most importantly, the attitude must be correct.

Similar to what Zhang Qihang thought, Yan Baoping was also overjoyed to hear Zhang Qihang's report on the sales of the Sylphy sedan last month!
But besides being overjoyed, Yan Baoping also felt somewhat regretful: If Huateng Industrial Group is still a municipal enterprise of Langya City, how wonderful it would be...

Regrets are regrets, Yan Baoping is more happy in his heart. After all, although Huateng Industrial Group is already a provincial enterprise, Langya City still retains more than 30% of the shares, and Huateng Industrial Group's annual dividends are indispensable. A portion of Langya City.

As for Zhang Qihang’s concerns, Yan Baoping made it clear: It’s fine if SAIC competes fairly with you in accordance with the principles of market competition, but if they do some shady tricks in private, don’t worry. The organization will never sit back and watch you be bullied!

…………

So what are the people in the magic capital doing at this moment?
They are analyzing the Sylphy car.

Huateng Industrial Group has launched such a big publicity battle, newspapers, TV, radio and other publicity channels have joined the battle, and they have not shy away from declaring that their competitor is Santana 2000. Not blind and blind, how could they not see?
Although people in Modu Volkswagen do not think that Sylphy sedan can pose a threat to the "status" of their own Santana 2000, as early as last year at the Capital International Auto Show, when Sylphy sedan debuted for the first time, the German executive team of Modu Volkswagen He gave a very high evaluation of Sylphy sedan: "Whether it is the creation of space or the overall atmosphere, it can be seen that the design team of this car is very thoughtful, and these ideas are extremely rare and mature. I don't know Who is the chief designer of this car, but if the designer is willing to work at Volkswagen, I believe the board of directors will definitely offer the designer a super high annual salary."

As soon as this evaluation came out, the Chinese management of Modu Volkswagen immediately caught the eyeballs of the place.

You know, this kind of evaluation has never been heard of by the Chinese team of Modu Volkswagen. All you see is these proud Germans shaking their heads, shaking their heads, shaking their heads again, or "NO! This can't be done", "Valco ! This design is too stupid", when did you hear such a high evaluation?

But now, I and others have heard it from a person who I have never regarded as a competitor.

As a result, the Chinese team of Shanghai Volkswagen could not help but worry a little about the market prospect of this car and whether it will have an impact on its own Santana 2000. Faced with this problem, the Germans came back with arrogance: "I Admit that this is a very good design, if its engine, gearbox and chassis can reach a passing level, this car is eligible to make money in the market, but want to threaten the market position of Santana 2000? Haha... ..."

In the end, the German guy made no secret of his contempt for Huateng Industrial Group: For the Chinese, being able to produce such an A-class car is already the limit, but for Volkswagen, an A-class car?It's just entry-level stuff.

The last "haha..." gave the public in Shanghai great confidence, so they didn't take the Sylphy sedan seriously in the future. With the news from the dealers, the public in Shanghai gradually began to feel a little restless...

Consumers seem to be more recognized for Sylphy sedan.

Because of the emergence of Sylphy, Santana 2000 has been impacted to a certain extent. For example, before this, in many areas, Santana 2000 had to increase the price by 5000 to 20000 yuan to pick up the car. Suppressed, those areas with a price increase of 5000 can already ship at a par price, and those areas with a price increase ranging from 10000 to 20000 have begun to quietly reduce prices: they have reduced the price increase to a price increase of 5000 to 10000.

In other words, Santana 2000 is still selling well. In the subdivision of mid-level official and commercial vehicles, Santana 2000 is still the first choice of consumers, but because of the appearance of Sylphy, the unbreakable position of Santana 2000 seems to have been shaken a little. .

It is foreseeable that, if this situation is allowed to continue, maybe Santana 2000 will have to adopt certain promotional measures before it can be sold.

Promotion?

For SAIC, the word "promotion" has almost never appeared in their minds: What are you kidding, we still want to promote the cars produced by SAIC Volkswagen?Have you seen our round VW logo and the letters of Volkswagen on the car? This is the representative of German quality and quality!
But now, the people of Shanghai are really feeling the pressure.

In this case, buying a Sylphy and using this finalized product to understand the competitor's product strength and competitiveness has become what the public in Shanghai has to do.

The first is appearance.

Regarding the appearance, based on the principle of seeking truth from facts, a group of designers still gave a relatively fair evaluation...

Designer A first gave his own simplicity: "The overall shape and lines are still very simple and smooth. From the perspective of overall design, it belongs to the most popular vehicle design language in Europe. From the perspective of overall structure and proportion, the design The level of the designer is very high, the lines are smooth, and the proportion of the overall design is very reasonable. It is not surprising to say that this design is the work of a famous European designer.”

"Yes," followed designer A, and designer B also expressed his opinion: "It can be seen from the coordination of the overall proportion that the designer has considered all aspects at the beginning. From the appearance point of view, we can't see the mistakes that new designers often make, such as the kind of compromises that have to be revised because of poor consideration, which leads to the late stage of the project. This situation does not appear on this car. "

"I agree with the two of you." Designer C followed closely behind, but instead of bragging blindly, he raised his own doubts: "It can be seen from the appearance that the chief designer of this Sylphy sedan Very powerful, even in Europe, it belongs to the best designers, but I can't understand this: Huateng Industrial Group claimed that this car was designed by their general manager Zhang Qihang...

Ladies and gentlemen, I also know the situation of Mr. Zhang Qihang and Mr. Zhang. He started working after graduating from a bachelor’s degree in 1992 and brought a tertiary industry unit on the verge of bankruptcy to the present level. Studying, and now a doctoral student at Harbin Institute of Technology, all this is enough to show that Zhang Qihang is always a very hardworking and very talented person in business, but this has also caused problems. Everyone thinks that such an excellent design may come from a Are you a doctoral student majoring in internal combustion engines? "
