Chapter 826 We Help You
Qiu Guofeng suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked at Zhang Qihang, and said in a deep voice, "Comrade Zhang Qihang, are you serious?"

Knowing why Qiu Guofeng was so serious at this moment, Zhang Qihang nodded affirmatively: "Yes! Director Qiu, I am serious. As the general manager of Huateng Industrial Group, I would like to represent more than 6 people in Huateng Industrial Group. Staff, discuss this matter with you."

Qiu Guofeng naturally understood the meaning of Zhang Qihang's introduction: this is business to business.

Since it's business-to-business, it's easy to handle. Qiu Guofeng asked again: "Comrade Zhang Qihang, you should know that our country has established diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level with most countries in the world. If you really If you want to donate high-end official vehicles to our embassies and consulates abroad, you may need thousands of them, and the value of these cars is several hundred million! Why do you want to do this?"

Qiu Guofeng is not an honest person, he quietly dug a big hole for Zhang Qihang here.

Zhang Qihang grinned secretly: You want me to donate more than 1000 vehicles to your diplomatic system?How dare you think!
Pretending to be unaware of this pitfall, Zhang Qihang said calmly: "Director Qiu, with the Sylphy sedan, our Huateng Automobile has initially established a firm foothold in the domestic automobile consumer market. After establishing a firm foothold, we hope It can go up and produce more advanced cars, that is, cars at the level of Honda Accord and Toyota Camry."

"Um……"

Qiu Guofeng nodded, motioning for Zhang Qihang to continue.

He actually understands Huateng Industrial Group's approach very well: Although some automobile companies want to lie there to make money at this time, judging from what he has learned about the development trajectory of Huateng Industrial Group, Zhang Qihang is a very ambitious person , a person who has and trusts, naturally will not choose to lie on the credit book and sleep after achieving a staged success, but hopes to launch an impact on a higher mountain... Zhang Qihang's ambition and his What he did was also seen by the state, otherwise why would he become a deputy director-level national cadre at this age, and he is also the deputy director of the Lu S State-owned Assets Management Office?

Zhang Qihang then went on to say: "But we don't have the chassis technology of B-class cars, so we wanted to see if we could try to introduce it from the outside, but our luck is so good, we haven't waited for us to find the chassis technology of B-class cars." , we learned that Mazda is going to discontinue their C-segment car, which is the Mazda 929..."

Hearing this, there is no need for Zhang Qihang to explain the following situation. In fact, Qiu Guofeng can almost guess one: they approached Mazda, hoping to import 929 technology from Mazda, and Mazda was quick to agree. Well, even this production line located in Los Angeles agreed to sell them to Huateng Industrial Group...

The situation was exactly as Zhang Qihang said. Speaking of this, Zhang Qihang sighed and said helplessly: "But at this time, I realized that we have encountered a problem..."

"Oh?" Hearing what Zhang Qihang said, Qiu Guofeng couldn't help being a little surprised, and asked suspiciously, "What's the trouble?"

In his view, Huateng Industrial Group already has a complete set of technical information and supporting suppliers for Mazda 929, and then they just need to deploy and produce step by step. What trouble can there be?
"The brand awareness of our Huateng Group cannot support a C-class car," Zhang Qihang sighed, and said helplessly: "If the Mazda 929 is acquired by FAW, FAW will remake the Mazda 929 and use the new generation of Hongqi Launched under the name, the market will definitely recognize it, but will the market and consumers recognize our Huateng C-class sedan?"

"This one……"

After hearing this, Qiu Guofeng realized the problem.

Just like what Zhang Qihang said, if FAW is the one who acquires the complete set of technologies of the Mazda 929, and FAW remakes the car and puts it on the market as a Hongqi sedan, it will be absolutely fine. It is popular in the market, and its popularity will definitely not be inferior to FAW-Audi's current flagship product: Audi 200, because people, officials, and wealthy businessmen all recognize the brand of Hongqi, but you Huateng Automobile...

Why?
Thinking of this, he tentatively asked Zhang Qihang: "So..."

"So, if our car becomes the car of the main leaders of our country's embassies and consulates abroad, and the ambassadors and consuls of various embassies and consulates take it to visit heads of state and presidents, it will be different," Zhang Qihang said: "In the words of our common people, this is called having a B grade."

When Qiu Guofeng heard this, he nodded silently in his heart.

Isn't that how the Hongqi car came about?

The Hongqi car is not a good X because it is called Hongqi, but because the Hongqi car has been ridden by super giants, so it is a good X. Huateng Industrial Group also wants to take this path, but they know very well that there is no way to copy the red flag back then. The success of the car, so I settled for the next best thing, and put my idea on the consuls and ambassadors of the country's embassies and consulates abroad...

Thinking of this, Qiu Guofeng said with a smile: "Xiao Zhang, your idea is not bad, but if you tell me now, aren't you afraid that we won't agree?"

"Director Qiu, that's what I think," Zhang Qihang looked at Qiu Guofeng, and said seriously, "Our country's diplomatic system is crouching tigers, hidden dragons, and I believe we can't hide our small thoughts from you, even at the beginning. You didn't realize it, but it won't be long before you will turn the corner, so I think it's absolutely unworkable to think of 'I won't tell you, I'll take advantage of you quietly'.

Since this is the case, it is better to put everything on the table from the very beginning. Our Huateng Industrial Group hopes that the higher authorities will support us and help Huaxia build an established luxury car brand; and our diplomatic system is in the process of Not only did they get benefits, but they would no longer have to be ridiculed in terms of cars in the future. "

Speaking of this, Zhang Qihang said embarrassingly: "Of course, this is just an immature idea of ​​our group. If our diplomatic system thinks it is inappropriate to do this for various reasons, we can fully understand it."

Qiu Guofeng laughed.

It wasn't until this moment that he began to recognize Zhang Qihang from the bottom of his heart.

In fact, just like what Zhang Qihang said, he, Zhang Qihang, and their Huateng Industrial Group are thinking carefully, can they not see it?

Of course not, who can enter the diplomatic system and go to key positions abroad, which one is not an elite talent with both EQ and IQ and who has undergone strict training from the country, will not be able to see that Zhang Qihang plans to use Mazda 929 as the basis The Huateng mid-to-large sedan that was built was donated to the major embassies and consulates abroad?
How can it be!

But just seeing it doesn't mean you have to say it: You're fooling me for a fool?Still don't know who is the fool.

But now, Zhang Qihang has put everything on the table, what is this?
This is sincerity!
That's right, although everyone is on their own, it is not a system after all. If you want to cooperate, even if it is a mutually beneficial cooperation, you must show sincerity-remember what Qiu Guofeng said just now "Give the diplomatic system Donate thousands of cars" no?This in itself is an extremely obscure, extremely obscure hint and reminder.

"Although we are doing diplomatic work, diplomatic work itself serves the development of the national economy, and you are also a part of the national economy. It is right to support your work." Qiu Guofeng said with a smile: "But Xiao Zhang, let’s not talk about other things first, just say one thing first: Sylphy sedan is used as a car for daily business and travel in various embassies and consulates. It doesn’t matter, but if you want ambassadors and consuls to choose you C-class car as a car..."

This is... what are you worried about?
Zhang Qihang pondered for a while, and tentatively said: "Since it is a car for ambassadors and consuls, in a sense, as long as the car starts, you are performing a diplomatic mission. Since it is a diplomatic mission, the strength of the power depends It's not the most important thing, the key is not to lose the chain halfway, the problem will be big if the car breaks down halfway..."

Qiu Guofeng nodded involuntarily.

This problem is also what worries him the most: Imagine that when his boss, the special representative of Huaxia to the United Nations, was taking a car to attend a special meeting of the United Nations, the car suddenly broke down on the way...

That picture is simply too beautiful!
Seeing Qiu Guofeng nod subconsciously, Zhang Qihang knew what was going on, and he immediately continued: "The Mazda 929 in front of us is equipped with a 2.5-liter gasoline engine. Among the F series imported by our group from Honda, There is an F23A, which is a gasoline engine with a displacement of 2.3 liters. It is also the engine on the current Honda Accord. Although the displacement is 0.2 milliliters different, the overall performance is similar to the 929 engine of this 2.5. Basically, it can While meeting the power requirements, it can also guarantee the quality.”

"Well," Qiu Guofeng nodded: "The quality of the Honda engine is still guaranteed."

After years of continuous accumulation, the reputation of Japanese cars in terms of reliability has been established. Even diplomats like Qiu Guofeng working in the United States, when referring to Japanese cars, most of the time they will use "good quality and low price, Reliable and durable” to describe it. When Zhang Qihang said that he was going to use the same engine as the current Honda Accord as the power system of the Huateng version of the Mazda 929, Qiu Guofeng was half relieved.

It seems that I guessed it right. Qiu Guofeng, or comrades in the country's diplomatic system, are most worried about product quality.

Knowing this, Zhang Qihang knew it in his heart, and he continued with a smile: "As for the gearbox, there is more to say, it is the parallel shaft automatic gearbox I designed, um... this one The gearbox is the automatic gearbox on the current Honda Accord. In addition, if you are not sure about the reliability of the automatic gearbox, we can also provide a manual gearbox.

In addition, in order to ensure that the vehicles provided to the ambassadors, consuls and the main leaders of the representative office to the United Nations are safe, we will arrange the most experienced masters to assemble and inspect the vehicles..."

Qiu Guofeng nodded repeatedly.

Qiu Guofeng doesn't really care about whether the cars of ambassadors abroad and special representatives to the United Nations choose an automatic transmission or a manual transmission: the Audi 40, which costs just over 200 yuan, is also equipped with a five-speed manual transmission. Who cares about that? up?What he really cares about is the reliability of the gearbox. Now that Zhang Qihang said that the gearbox is the same model as the Honda Accord, Qiu Guofeng is relieved: since the engine and gearbox are the same model as the Honda Accord, there is nothing to say.

He finally let go of his heart, nodded slightly and said: "Xiao Zhang, you also understand that such a big matter cannot be decided by me, a small office director..."

Zhang Qihang nodded slightly, and was not surprised by Qiu Guofeng's answer, but waited for Qiu Guofeng to continue talking—after all, he has stayed in the system for such a long time, how can Zhang Qihang not understand Qiu Guofeng What seems to be a refusal is not actually a refusal?
Looking at Zhang Qihang's calm look, Qiu Guofeng nodded secretly, and then said: "But Mr. Zhang, you and your unit are willing to make some contributions to the country's diplomatic cause, and I am also very touched. In this way, I will report your thoughts to the leaders. Let's see, do you think this will work?"

Can Zhang Qihang say no?He hurriedly said: "Thank you Director Qiu! Thank you so much!"

"No need to thank you, you are also a state-owned enterprise, and everyone has contributed to the country, but..." Qiu Guofeng thought for a while, and then gently reminded Zhang Qihang: "Your group is a provincial state-owned enterprise. Yes, it can be regarded as adding luster to your province, so shouldn't the leaders of your province put in more effort?"

Zhang Qihang was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized, and instantly understood Qiu Guofeng's meaning: Your idea, Zhang Qihang, is correct, but you, Zhang Qihang, are humble and insignificant after all. The leaders of the system say hello, and the matter is safe:
On the one hand, you, Zhang Qihang, a small deputy director-level cadre, even if the leader wants to praise you and give you face, your small shoulders are somewhat unbearable;

On the other hand, the leaders of your Lu Province personally greeted the leaders of our diplomatic system. This is called reciprocity. It is not impossible to do favors for you. We are all colleagues and should take care of each other, but this face must be put on the ground. On a certain day in the future, when everyone was having a meeting, the leaders of our diplomatic system laughed and talked about it with your Lu provincial leaders, and you all acted like "I don't know?" , this is not good...

While Zhang Qihang secretly sighed in his heart, "Everywhere is full of knowledge, everywhere is full of human spirit", at the same time he hastily responded - being reminded by Qiu Guofeng, he also felt that he was a little ill-considered before.
