Chapter 817 So You Are Waiting For Me Here
Zhou Wenwen didn't know how much Zhang Qihang's real wealth was, but even so, she understood why Zhang Qihang said these things to herself. He was not showing off to herself, but telling herself: If you have so much Qian, if you are in charge of such an awesome company, then when you face these people today, you will be full of confidence!

Sure enough, money is the courage of a hero...

Zhou Wenwen sighed faintly in her heart, and she completely understood why Zhang Qihang was not as careful and cautious as herself, because he really didn't care.

Just when Zhou Wenwen was feeling emotional, a person walked quickly to Zhang Qihang and asked in a low voice, "Excuse me, Mr. Zhang from Huaxia?"

Zhang Qihang nodded: "It's me."

The visitor became more polite: "That's it. If it's convenient for you, Mr. Nasser is over there. I hope to chat with you..."

While speaking, the visitor gestured to the position behind Zhang Qihang.

Zhang Qihang took advantage of the situation and looked over, just in time to see Jacques Nasser standing in the C position in the crowd.

Seeing Zhang Qihang looking towards him, Jacques Nasser waved to Zhang Qihang as a gesture.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Qihang smiled and nodded: "Of course!"

………………

Seeing Zhang Qihang coming over accompanied by the staff, Jacques Nasser paused the conversation with everyone, and said with a smile: "Gentlemen, come, let me introduce a friend, Mr. Zhang from the mysterious China."

Who is this guy?What's the background?
Seeing Jacques Nasser introducing a young Chinese man to him so solemnly, many people in the crowd wondered secretly.

But I wonder, since this Chinese man was introduced by Mr. Jacques Nasser to everyone, no matter how curious they are in their hearts, even for the sake of Mr. Jacques Nasser, everyone smiled and greeted Zhang Qihang. Nodding to show friendliness - this face is not for Zhang Qihang, but for Ford Motor Global President Jacques Nasser.

For these false so-called goodwill mixed with scrutiny, Zhang Qihang naturally knew it well, and nodded to everyone with a smile.

Everyone's reactions fell into the eyes of Jacques Nasser one by one, his expression became a little more serious, and he said to everyone: "Gentlemen, Mr. Zhang's company is a large enterprise group with an annual output value of more than 20 billion US dollars. ..."

Zhang Qihang interrupted Jacques Nasser with a smile:
"Mr. Nasser, allow me to interrupt you very impolitely..."

However, his tone was not annoying. Even Jacques Nasser was slightly taken aback when faced with this situation, then smiled and nodded, expressing that he didn't mind.

Zhang Qihang then continued: "Gentlemen, in the first half of this year, our group's annual sales have reached and exceeded 16 billion US dollars, and the situation in the second half of the year will be even better, so the annual output value of our group this year is expected to More than $33 billion, and the net profit will be more than $12 billion..."

Zhang Qihang is very aware of the virtues of these Americans. Here, being gentle, courteous and thrifty is absolutely unacceptable, bragging is the kingly way!But before Zhang Qihang finished speaking, a group of middle-aged and middle-aged foreigners who had just looked indifferent after hearing the two data Zhang Qihang said, suddenly exploded...

"what?"

"This is impossible!"

"Sales of 33 billion U.S. dollars, but a net profit of 12 billion U.S. dollars? How is this possible? This is absolutely impossible!"

…………

A group of old beauties exploded!

No wonder they reacted so violently. Take Ford as an example. The current CEO of Ford, Alex Trotman, promoted the "Ford 1995" plan in 2000, the core of the "Ford 2000" plan. It is through a series of business mergers, simplification of business procedures and other measures to consolidate Ford's production, marketing and product development capabilities, thereby saving expenses and increasing profit margins.

The results of the "Ford 2000" plan are gratifying. In the past 1996, this plan successfully saved Ford about 35 billion dollars in expenses, and increased Ford's annual profit to about 60 billion dollars. This year, Ford Motor continues to vigorously promote the "Ford 2000" plan. It is expected that this year it will save Ford Motor 50 billion dollars in costs and expenses, and Ford Motor is expected to have a profit of 70 billion dollars.

So, this year, that is, 1997, what is Ford's projected annual sales?

Ford Motor itself believes that total sales this year will be around $1600 billion.

These are all announced by Ford Motor itself and widely publicized. Then the problem comes, Ford Motor’s total annual sales of 1600 billion US dollars is only 70 billion US dollars in net profit, and this kid from China actually said that they are only 33 billion US dollars in sales, but a net profit of almost 12 billion US dollars?

Nonsense? !

There is no such thing as nonsense!
But Jacques Nasser smiled. He glanced around the crowd with a smile and said, "Everyone doesn't believe it. They think it's impossible, don't they?"

"Yes, Mr. Nasser," someone said immediately, "This is simply impossible!"

"Yes, Mr. Nasser, this is simply impossible, even if it is F poison, the profit rate is only this."

"I think maybe the profit margin of selling D is not so high..."

…………

But not everyone looked at Zhang Qihang with sneering eyes, and those with quick brains glanced back and forth between Jacques Nasser and Zhang Qihang in surprise: What is the situation?
These people more or less saw some signs: It seems that this result is what Mr. Jacques Nasser wants to see?

"Ha ha……"

Jacques Nasser laughed twice and asked, "Everyone should be familiar with the Toyota Camry, right? Let me ask you a question: Do you know how much this car sells for in China?"

For Americans, the Toyota Camry is already a car they are very familiar with. The price in the United States ranges from US$1.4 to US$[-]. Now that Jacques Nasser asked about this car, he just laughed at Zhang Qihang’s Those guys are still wondering why Jacques Nasser asked this question, but those guys who saw the signs before had a vague idea...

"The market price of Toyota Camry in the United States is between 1 and 1.4 US dollars. In China...calculating the shipping cost and the profits of Chinese dealers, the market price is about 2 US dollars?"

"That's right, I also think it's about this level."

"$2.2, I don't think it can be more."

…………

Soon, everyone reached a consensus on the price of the Toyota Camry in China: according to different configurations, it is roughly between US$1.8 and US$2.2, not more.

Hearing this result, Jacques Nasser smiled even happier. He smiled and looked at Zhang Qihang: "You can ask Mr. Zhang this question, after all, he is from China."

As soon as Jacques Nasser finished speaking, more than a dozen pairs of eyes fell on Zhang Qihang.

Zhang Qihang, who had vaguely guessed what Jacques Nasser wanted to do, nodded upon hearing the words: "Of course, this question is easy to answer. The price of the Toyota Camry in China is about 4.5 to 4.8 U.S. dollars... ..."

"My God!"

"what?"

"This is impossible!"

"How could there be such an outrageous price?!"

…………

The first reaction of everyone who heard this price was "How is this possible?" This situation is indeed beyond their comprehension: a car that only sells for a little over [-] US dollars in the US market has doubled its price after arriving in China. Three times more?

This is completely beyond their imagination!
But the eyes of the few smart people who reacted first were bright: That's it!
Before that, they were still wondering why Jacques Nasser would invite a young man from China whom they had never heard of, but now, they finally realized that they were waiting for them here.

They didn't doubt that Jacques Nasser and Zhang Qihang were just talking nonsense. After all, the price of a car can always be found out with a little effort, and this little guy from China is unlikely to lie.However, if what this Chinese young man said is true...

Thinking of this, their eyes suddenly became hot.

"This price sounds outrageous, but as far as I know, it is indeed the case," Jacques Nasser stood up and spoke with a smile: "We have a MPV called Wenda under Ford. I don't know if you are familiar with it. , The price of this car in China is about 5 US dollars."

Ford Steady?

Those who were invited by Jacques Nasser to participate in the Ford charity dinner tonight have more or less business contacts with Ford Motors. It cannot be said that they have a clear understanding of the main models of Ford, but they are quite familiar with each of them. Yes, Ford Wenda is a medium-to-large MPV owned by Ford Motor Company. Its overall size is a circle larger than that of Toyota Previa, and it belongs to the same level of MPV products as Chevrolet Lumina owned by General Motors.

Just such a product that sells for over US$2 in the North American market is selling for more than US$5 in China?

There is no reason!
"According to what I have learned, as of last year, China has formed a huge market with an annual consumption of more than 150 million vehicles of various types," said Jacques Nasser at last. Opportunity, I would like to announce one thing to everyone: Ford is optimistic about the future of China's auto consumer market, starting next year, Ford will increase its investment in China's market, including but not limited to establishing joint ventures with companies in China!"

I really am a tool...

Listening to Jacques Nasser's words, while laughing at himself, Zhang Qihang couldn't help being a little puzzled: If that's the case, he, Jacques Nasser, just held a press conference to announce the decision. Is it necessary to invite himself here?
