Chapter 804 Looking for someone to take advantage of?

Now that it has decided to introduce the chassis technology of Mazda 929, Huateng Industrial Group immediately contacted the branch of Mazda Motor in China, expressing the hope that they can get in touch with Mazda North America through them, and inquire about the possibility of selling Mazda 929 chassis technology.

When I received a call from Huateng Industrial Group, I was very surprised: "Are you from Huateng Industrial Group? Are you going to buy the chassis technology of 929?"

"Yes," Liu Jianfeng, the assistant to the general manager's office who made the call on behalf of Zhang Qihang, politely said to the other party: "To be precise, it is the chassis technology of the current 929 sedan sold in the Chinese market. I wonder if you can convey it on your behalf? "

"Of course it's okay to convey it." The man on the other side of the phone hesitated for a moment and asked Liu Jianfeng: "But how can you be sure what you said is true?"

Hearing the other party's words, Liu Jianfeng laughed: "Should no one talk nonsense about such things?"

"..."

The other party was silent for a while, although he didn't speak, but the meaning was clearly expressed: I know that no one should make fun of this kind of thing, but rules are rules.

Liu Jianfeng also got bored, and then said: "In this way, you can verify this matter through two channels: first, you should be able to easily find out the contact information of our Huateng Industrial Group, and you can use our Huateng Industrial Group Contact us through the public contact information of the group to confirm the authenticity of this matter; second, our Huateng Industrial Group is a provincial enterprise in Lu Province, and you can also obtain our contact information through the State-owned Assets Management Agency of Lu Province to contact us. Let's get in touch."

After listening to Liu Jianfeng finished speaking, the other party nodded: "Okay, I believe what you said is true for the time being, and we will verify what you said later. This Mr. Liu, what is your identity in Huateng Industrial Group?"

Liu Jianfeng: "I am the assistant to the general manager's office of Huateng Industrial Group, and I will assist Mr. Zhang Qihang in handling all the affairs of the general manager's office."

"It turned out to be Assistant Liu." After confirming Liu Jianfeng's identity, the other party's tone became more respectful and polite in an instant: "Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Kenji Ishimaru, Director of the General Affairs Division of Huaxia Branch of Dongying Mazda Automobile Co., Ltd., It's a great honor to be in touch with you."

In the past few years, Huateng Industrial Group has cooperated with Dongying's enterprises. As one of the most trusted people around Zhang Qihang, Liu Jianfeng immediately changed the identity of Mr. Ishimaru Kenji to the one that we Chinese people are more familiar with and understand better. Position: Office Director of Mazda China Branch, so to speak, this Mr. Kenji Ishimaru can be regarded as a middle-level cadre of Mazda in China.

Liu Jianfeng also said politely: "Mr. Shimaru, hello, I will fax you the official letter later, please accept it."

"Okay, okay, that's easy to say," Ishimaru Kenji asked while responding: "Mr. Liu, I would like to ask, can you buy the shares of our Mazda joint venture company in China?"

Liu Jianfeng was a little surprised: "You still have a joint venture company in China?"

"..."

Kenji Ishimaru was a little embarrassed, and after a brief silence, the buddy said bitterly: "Mr. Liu, our Mazda Motors established a cooperative relationship with your Huaxia Automobile Factory in Han Province as early as the end of the 80s. In 1992, a joint venture company was established with your country’s HAN Provincial Automobile Factory, and the Mazda 929 station wagon produced by Hainan @南-Mazda Automobile is also well-known in China..."

At this moment, Kenji Ishimaru on the other end of the phone really wanted to cry: In Dongying, although Mazda is not as good as Toyota, Honda, and Nissan, the three major auto giants, it is also ranked high among the second-tier brands. How can it be reduced in China? In such a situation?
"Ah? Sorry, sorry..."

Liu Jianfeng was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly apologized to Ishimaru Kenji.

海@南-Mazda车 He has naturally heard of it. Their representative product is a station wagon similar to a jeep, but because they have not obtained a production license, the cars produced by 海@南-Mazda can only be Sales are carried out within the province of HAN.

But the question is how much purchasing power can a mere HAN province provide?

So much so that from the early 90s to the present, after the initial prosperity, Hainan @南-Mazda's car production and sales have been declining, and it is now on the verge of bankruptcy.The reason why Liu Jianfeng apologized to the other party was also because he felt that he was clearly adding salt to the other party's wounds by saying these words.

Fortunately, Ishimaru Kenji also quickly adjusted his emotions, and said to Liu Jianfeng: "I'm very sorry, I lost my temper just now..."

"It doesn't matter," Liu Jianfeng said, "But Mr. Shimaru, can you decide on the sale of the company's shares?"

Liu Jianfeng said it as tactfully as possible, but he believed that Kenji Ishimaru should be able to understand what he meant.

As a Dongying native who has worked in China for many years, Ishimaru Kenji really understood what Liu Jianfeng meant. He immediately said, "Thank you for your concern. In fact, this is a decision made by the headquarters."

understood……

Hearing Ishimaru Kenji's words, Liu Jianfeng finally understood what was going on: When Dongying Mazda Automobile Co., Ltd. first cooperated with Hai@南汽车制造工厂 to establish Hai@南-Mazda Automobile Manufacturing Company, He also looked at Wolfsburg Motors and his compatriots: Dafa Motors made a lot of money in China, and was jealous, and wanted to make a fortune in the Chinese market.

Mazda's idea is good. They decided to enter the Chinese market in the late 80s and early 90s, which shows that they have a good vision, but they were confused when choosing partners and have not obtained a production license.

This problem is so serious that the cars produced by 海@南-Mazda Automobile Company cannot leave the province, and can only be sold within the scope of HAN province itself.

Isn't it over now?
Liu Jianfeng doesn't know why the Hai@南-Mazda Automobile Manufacturing Company, which belongs to the province of HAN, didn't get the car production license despite the support of the provincial@government, but he understands very well that under normal circumstances, there are provinces The first-level government came forward to intercede. It is said that the Ministry of Machinery Industry, which was in charge of issuing automobile production licenses at the time, should have given face no matter what—海@南-Mazda 929 is not a sedan, but a model similar to 广@东精格505SW station wagon, such a car does not need a car license with a prefix of "7" at all, a passenger car license with a prefix of "6" is enough, and the passenger car license with a prefix of "6" approved by the state over the years is not Knowing how many there are, under normal circumstances, the Ministry of Machinery Industry should not care about granting one more production license.

But even in this situation, the Ministry of Machinery Industry was stunned and didn't save HAN face. What does this mean?
This shows that there must be some reason for it, and even the water in it may be very deep, so deep that an existence of the Huateng Industrial Group's level fell into it, and there would not even be a splash.

Thinking of this, Liu Jianfeng wanted to refuse subconsciously, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered that this kind of matter is not up to him, what he has to do is to report this situation to Mr. Zhang.

Thinking of this, Liu Jianfeng said: "Okay, Mr. Shimaru, I understand what you mean, and I will report this matter to our President Zhang, but I can't promise you the specific result."

Hearing that Liu Jianfeng said that he would report this matter to Zhang Qihang, Ishimaru Kenji was overjoyed, and quickly said: "This is enough, Mr. Liu, thank you very much for your help!"

........................

It's a big deal!

Liu Jianfeng didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly reported the matter to Zhang Qihang after hanging up the phone.

After listening to Liu Jianfeng's report, Zhang Qihang's expression became strange: "Mazda wants to sell its shares in Hainan @南-Mazda Company, and it seems very urgent?"

"Yes," Liu Jianfeng said, "That's what Mr. Kenji Ishimaru, who claims to be the chief of the general affairs section of Mazda Huaxia Branch, said."

Zhang Qihang didn't speak, but pondered.

It is said that after 2000, Hainan @南-Mazda Automobile was quite prosperous for a while. Their home compact MPV "Prema", family compact car Familia, and Mazda 323 were all in the history of China's automobile development at the beginning of the century. He left his famous name and achieved a monthly sales of over [-].

At that time at the beginning of the century, it was able to achieve monthly sales of over [-], which is enough to prove the success of Hai@南-Mazda. But then again, how did Hai@南-Mazda achieve from the verge of From bankruptcy to a booming perfect counterattack?

I remembered……

Seeing that 海@南-Mazda Automobile is on the verge of bankruptcy due to the problem of automobile production qualifications. In order to obtain the qualifications for producing automobiles and the necessary funds to save the unfavorable situation of the Hainan Automobile Factory, the HAN province finally had to make a decision. Agreed to put the factory under the name of a large state-owned auto company.

So the "eldest son" made a move.

In November 1997, FAW Automobile and HAN Province formally signed a cooperation agreement and established FAW Hainan Automobile Co., Ltd., which is 11% controlled by FAW Group. Hainan Automobile Manufacturing Plant officially joined FAW Group in January of the following year. 海@南- Mazda finally managed to secure a car production license this way.

The deeper thing is that although Hainan @南-Mazda Automobile is affiliated to the FAW Group, FAW has not given financial and product technical support. Gradually recovering from the bursting of the bubble, seeing everyone entering the Chinese auto market one after another, the greedy Mazda Motor once again thought of its "old lover", the two sides hit it off again, and adopted a technical cooperation method to cooperate...

So, this thing seems to be quite interesting, right?
