Chapter 846 Not worth mentioning

PS: Brothers, I am sorry, this chapter is chapter 862, the sequence number of the chapter is wrong, but the content is correct, please forgive me.

------------

The price of 1000 load-carrying three-wheeled motorcycles is not cheap, about two or three million U.S. dollars, but Samir Khalil's calculations are very clear: the 300 three-wheeled vehicles have a carrying capacity of at least 1000 tons, and the equivalent carrying capacity A truck with sufficient capacity costs at least tens of millions of dollars. That is to say, it costs two or three million dollars now, which is actually equivalent to saving the country several million dollars!

From this perspective, Syria actually made a profit.

In Samir Khalil's plan, these 1000 motorcycles are just for trial use to test whether this product is suitable for the Mediterranean coast and the Middle East. If it can have good adaptability in Syria, Syria will be It is necessary to actively introduce the production qualification of this product, not only to meet the needs of the country, but even to export it to neighboring countries in Syria, making it a trump card product for Syria's machinery exports.

"1000 cars?"

Hearing this number, Zhang Qihang frowned subconsciously: he knew too well what kind of purchase this was.But after hesitating for a moment, he nodded: "Of course it's okay."

Samir Khalil didn't expect Zhang Qihang to agree so happily, he hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Mr. Zhang, how long will this batch of cars be delivered at the latest? We don't want to wait too long..."

Before Samir Khalil finished speaking, the surrounding Huateng Industrial Group's accompanying personnel laughed "hehe...".

Seeing the reaction of everyone in the Huateng Industrial Group, all the official representatives of Syria, including Samir Khalil, were all dumbfounded: What does Huaxia mean?
Fortunately, Zhang Qihang didn't make a fool of himself, he said to Samir Khalil with a smile: "Mr. The annual production capacity of three-wheeled motorcycles is 50, and the daily production capacity is more than 1300. Your order is not enough for our production line's production capacity in one day, so you don't have to worry about this batch of goods requiring you to wait too long."

After figuring out the reason for Huateng Industrial Group's laughter, the people in Syria and Asia immediately turned red: We thought the order volume would put a lot of pressure on them, but after being annoyed for a long time, it was actually less than their daily production capacity ? !This is really...

For a while, many people were quite ashamed.

At the same time, they once again had a relatively intuitive concept of "China is a big country": this is just a company in China, and it can produce more than 1300 vehicles in one day, which is very technical in their eyes. , if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would dare to believe it?
"Is that so? Hehehe..."

Samir Khalil looked embarrassed and felt a little embarrassed for a while.

It was Zhang Qihang, who thought for a while and said, "Mr. Khalil, if I'm not mistaken, the batch of tricycles you purchased are for adaptability testing, right?"

There is nothing to hide, Samir Khalil did not hide it, nodded happily: "Yes."

"If so, I have a suggestion."

"Oh?" Hearing what Zhang Qihang said, Samir Khalil looked interested: "What suggestion?"

Zhang Qihang said: "That's how it is. Since it's an adaptability test, it's best to let our manufacturer participate. In this way, if any problems are found, they can be corrected in time."

Ok?
Samir Khalil's eyes widened: Is there such a good thing?
Didn't Syria know that it would be better to bring manufacturers in and participate in the test together?Of course they know, but knowing is one thing, but it doesn't mean that when they make this request, those car manufacturers in Europe, America and Japan will ignore them.

The fact is indeed the case. It is not that the Syrians have made similar requests before, but in the face of the Syrian request, those European and Japanese car manufacturers directly raised their nostrils: We don’t think it is necessary. It is enough for Syria to directly use our Middle East version of the model, in this regard, we have rich experience.

Facing the attitude of the other party, what can the Syrian side do?
After all, for any modern country, cars, especially freight trucks, are equivalent to the red blood cells that transport oxygen in the human blood vessels, and are absolutely indispensable.

There were many rejections, so Syria did not think about it again, but now, Zhang Qihang actually proposed that their manufacturer send testers to Syria to participate in the vehicle testing process, which made Samir Hali Le and all the Syrian officials behind him are not excited for no reason?

Samir Khalil grabbed Zhang Qihang's hand excitedly and said excitedly: "Mr. Zhang, what you said is true? Are you really willing to send a technical team to participate in our adaptability test?"

"To be precise, we are going to conduct this adaptability test together," Zhang Qihang said seriously: "What I mean is, we will jointly form one or several transportation companies that use this three-wheeled motorcycle as the transportation force to form a The transportation force covering the whole country of your country, so that we can find out and deal with any problems in time, what do you think, Mr. Khalil?"

It is a joke in China to form a transportation company composed of three-wheeled motorcycles to run nationwide transportation, but it is indeed feasible in Syria. The land area of ​​Syria is only 185180 square kilometers, only less than Shandong Province (155800 square kilometers), where Huateng Industrial Group is located, is a bit larger, not to mention compared with Xinjiang, Mongolia, and Sichuan, which are famous for their large areas, even compared with Hebei Province (18.88 square kilometers) next to the capital ) This kind of area can only be ranked in the middle of the domestic provinces, and it is also a bit short of the provinces. Therefore, the so-called "national transportation force" in Syria is at best a job of transportation within the province.

So here comes the question, for three-wheeled motorcycles, is it a problem to run a transportation route in the province?
That must be no.

Fill up the gas, and there will be leftovers after running back and forth!

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Qihang dared to propose the formation of a transportation force covering the "whole country" of Syria and Asia-how many fellow villagers in Lu Province dared to ride a tricycle from Lu Province to Guangdong alone after buying a tricycle To do business in a province, what is a "provincial trip" compared to the distance from Shandong Province to Guangdong Province?
Samir Khalil didn't know that Zhang Qihang still had such thoughts, and was so excited for a moment that he held Zhang Qihang's hand tightly and refused to let go: "Zhang! Thank you! Thank you! Now I finally know , who is the friend of the Syrian people!"

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

What Zhang Qihang didn't expect was that although the Sylphy sedan did not sell a few cars in the first month of entering Syria, after entering the second month, the sales gradually improved. The single digits came to 18 in the second month, and it reached 33 in the third month. This surprised Zhang Qihang, and hurriedly called to ask what happened.

After receiving a call from Zhang Qihang, Liu Fei, who was in charge of market development in Syria, happily grinned from ear to ear: "Mr. Zhang, it's like this. After you returned from Syria last time, my comrades and Mr. Fang Fang And Mr. Zamlik sat together and discussed to find out what the reason was. In the end, we agreed that one of the core reasons why our Sylphy sedan failed to win in Syria was our car. Not well-known in Syria."

"Ah."

Zhang Qihang responded, expressing his approval of Liu Fei's words.

Isn’t that right, let’s not talk about the high price and quality of the cars sold in Syria, at least they have been cultivated in the Middle East, Mediterranean coastal countries and Europe for many years, such as Citroen, Renault, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Toyota... Regardless of whether ordinary people in Syria can afford it or not, at least the names of these car brands are familiar to everyone.

Then here comes the question: When a car that you have never talked about before appears in front of you, even if the quality of this car looks very good, and the workmanship is also very exquisite, it is no worse than the Japanese and European car brands you are familiar with. , even the price is cheap, but when it comes time to buy real money, do you hesitate?

If you didn't say that, you must hesitate!
After all, it is my hard-earned hard-earned money. Although it may cost less to buy this Huateng car, it is also very likely that you will encounter various problems in the process of using it in the future. It is undoubtedly the least risky way to spend some money to buy "old brands" whose quality has been tested by the market for many years.

"So we thought about it, but the people in Syria feel that our brand is not famous, so that's easy. We can find a way to make our brand famous?" Liu Fei said proudly: "In order to fight Popularity, we first donated a batch of cars to our country’s official agencies stationed in Syria, then donated a batch of cars to the Syrian government, and finally sent invitations to the Syrian media and held several A test drive and tasting event, and also sponsored some events... After so many measures, we did a random street survey last week, saying that the interviewed people who have heard of our Huateng Automobile have already changed from the previous The number of respondents increased from almost zero to [-]% of the respondents who said they had heard of our brand..."

Hearing what Liu Fei said, Zhang Qihang smiled: "If you say that, you have done a good job, and you should be credited."

"Uh……"

When Zhang Qihang said this, Liu Fei's tone suddenly hesitated, and he said with some embarrassment: "But Mr. Zhang, we have spent a lot of money in this period of time..."

Zhang Qihang frowned suddenly, and after pondering for a moment, he asked, "Can the accounts stand the scrutiny?"

When Xiao Liu was sent to Syria to develop the market, considering many situations, there was no way to ask the group head office in time. After discussing with Lao Feng, the group gave Xiao Liu and his team a lot of authority. To put it bluntly, it can be said that "One side of the princes"-compared with the domestic communication industry in Syria, there is a big gap, so there is no way around it.

Of course, Xiao Liu and his team have a lot of water in the "one party princes". For example, after completing the task of market development, they must return to China. For example, in addition to decentralization, there is also a strict progress monitoring mechanism here for a few days. It is impossible to say that Xiao Liu and his team were allowed to "spend money and promote" in Syria for several years without any results, and instead of taking any responsibility.

In this case, it is normal to have a lot of expenses, and some expenses are also difficult to explain clearly. For this, everyone has corresponding psychological preparations. In general, it is "as long as the market development is completed tasks, and the expenses and expenses can stand the scrutiny, even if you have meritorious service and grandeur, the group can understand and understand some trivial things.” Such a principle.

But Liu Fei's sudden words made Zhang Qihang's heart instantly vigilant: Xiao Liu, what does this mean?
You know, Xiao Liu is a person who came out of his office. According to the labels given by everyone, he is his confidant. If Xiao Liu's butt is not clean, what will everyone think of him?
Hearing Zhang Qihang's question, Xiao Liu immediately panicked, and he quickly explained: "No, no, Mr. Zhang, don't get me wrong, I assure you that every expense of our team will definitely be able to withstand the audit department of the group. Review, we have detailed accounts for all expenses, to ensure that even an advertisement is at the local average level, and there will not be too much fluctuation. I mean, the situation in Syria is different from that in our country, because Due to the absolute dominance of the state-owned economy, some additional expenditures are often required, so..."

"Understood," where Xiao Liu said, Zhang Qihang was inexplicably relieved: "You mean, the expenses for various joint treatments have exceeded your previous estimates?"

"Yes, yes," Xiao Liu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Zhang Qihang's words, and quickly explained: "For example, let's post an advertisement on Syria's TV station, and even a photographer has to be on call." Okay, otherwise they will deliberately shoot something bad for you. If you are not satisfied and want to re-shoot? Then you have to pay more, and there is no such good service as those domestic advertising companies..."

From Xiaoliu's words, Zhang Qihang heard strong resentment. It seems that Comrade Xiaoliu fell into the pit a lot during the time he was doing marketing and brand promotion in Syria.

"Sure, you don't need to say it, I understand," Zhang Qihang interrupted Xiao Liu dumbfoundedly before he finished speaking, and said, "If that's the case, then there's no problem... In this way, you can make a report later. Come up, how much money do you need to pass over to you first, but Xiao Liu, I will tell you what I said earlier, and the audit department will follow up and send special personnel to audit your expenses, do you understand?"

"Understood!" Xiao Liu was immediately happy, and quickly said loudly: "Mr. Zhang, please rest assured that our team will definitely stand up to any audit!"

They are not stupid, and they naturally understand how much benefit they can get by developing well within the group. On the contrary, if they fall into it now because of a small profit, it will not be worth the loss.
