Chapter 893 Mr. Zhang, we also want to eat meat
PS: After thinking about it again, I decided to delete and re-edit the last paragraph of the previous chapter. It is too dangerous. You can go back and read the re-edited version.

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

When Huateng Industrial Group was approved to establish the first overhaul line of D-30K series turbofan engines in China, some seemingly reasonable care came quietly:

In less than a month, Huateng Industrial Group's application for self-construction of a comprehensive automobile testing ground was officially approved;

When local governments at all levels purchase official vehicles and high-end official vehicles, the proportion of purchasing Huateng Sylphy sedans and Fengya Teana sedans has begun to increase significantly. He gave a high evaluation, saying that "the model of state-owned enterprises like Huateng Group, we just want to support it!" Since you are the one who buys the car, then the leader said that we should strongly support Huateng Industrial Group Under the circumstances, of course, it is to buy the products of Huatengba Industrial Group, even with the sales of Huateng-Mitsubishi "Land Business Class" commercial vehicles and Huateng-Isuzu "Highway Star" GALA SHD luxury road buses. Added a lot...

The successive good news put Zhang Qihang in a good mood, and when he saw Li Pengfei, the general manager of Panther Motors, Zhang Qihang's mood became even better...

It's not easy to say that friends come from afar!
Today is the day when the engine and gearbox assembly purchased by Heibao Motor Group will be shipped. In order to maintain the relationship between the two companies, Li Pengfei will come to Huateng Industrial Group almost every once in a while, and Zhang Qihang and Huateng Group In the beginning, Zhang Qihang refused to let Li Pengfei do this, but after a long time, Zhang Qihang also got used to it...

After chatting in Zhang Qihang's office for a while, Li Pengfei suddenly asked Zhang Qihang, "Mr. Zhang, do you think our Black Panther Group can produce cars?"

Ok?
Zhang Qihang was slightly taken aback when he heard this: "Mr. Li, your Black Panther Group wants to produce cars?"

"I have this idea," Li Pengfei nodded, and said earnestly, "No, do you want to come and hear Mr. Zhang's opinion?"

After confirming that Li Pengfei was not joking with himself, Zhang Qihang asked him a little puzzled: "Mr. Li, isn't your van business doing well? Why do you want to produce cars all of a sudden?"

"Because cars are more profitable than vans," Li Pengfei said with a face of course: "Look at our big van, which can seat seven or eight people. Before, it could sell for more than 5 yuan. In recent years, the market has been competitive. Intense, the market price has been lowered to just over 5 yuan, and if discounts are included, it is even less than 5 yuan.

But look at how little Alto is smaller than us, just such a thing that is not much bigger than a potato, because it is a car, it can sell for more than 6 yuan, and the profit margin is higher than that of our black panther bread many……"

Speaking of this, Li Pengfei spread his hands together: "Mr. Zhang, speaking of which, our Black Leopard Motors has been in the automobile industry for several years, and we have some experience and experience in automobile manufacturing. We are not newcomers who don't know anything. , in this case, if it is you, do you want to go a step further and make a car?"

There is no way to refute Li Pengfei's Zhang Qihang. Yes, compared to vans, the profit margin of cars is too high. Why does Huateng Industrial Group make cars?Isn't the reason that the car industry is a high-profit industry that China can count on at present.

Since this is the case, here comes the problem: Although the Black Panther Industrial Group has followed Huateng Industrial Group in the past few years and has been full of brains, but if Huateng Industrial Group is eating meat, then the Black Panther Industrial Group only It can be said to be eating bones and drinking soup, although the food is not bad, but if possible, who would not want to eat meat?

Having figured this out, Zhang Qihang nodded, "Of course it's no problem. Your Black Panther Group has accumulated a lot of experience and wealth in automobile manufacturing in the past few years. It is indeed a good opportunity to enter the car manufacturing industry at this time." The method... Who are you going to cooperate with? Which model to introduce?"

In Zhang Qihang's mind, since Li Pengfei mentioned this matter to himself, it means that they have reached a consensus within the Black Panther Group, and the reason why he mentioned this matter to himself is probably because of the engine and gearbox— —So far, the engine, gearbox and rear drive axle assembly required by the Panther Group have all been provided by Huateng Industrial Group.

But Li Pengfei's answer made Zhang Qihang a little surprised. He shook his head: "At present, we are just an idea, but how to do it specifically..."

Speaking of this, Li Pengfei looked at Zhang Qihang and said sincerely: "Mr. Zhang, every step you have taken in the automobile industry has been very successful. Regarding your vision and ability, more than 2 cadres and employees of our Black Leopard Automobile Everyone admires you, so I came this time because I want to hear what you mean and ask you for the truth.”

That's it!

Only then did Zhang Qihang understand Li Pengfei's reason for coming, this guy came to ask himself for advice.

But the problem is that Zhang Qihang didn't want to express his opinions casually. He touched his chin and waved his hand to Li Pengfei with a wry smile: "Mr. Li, you are embarrassing me. This matter is a major issue for your Black Panthers." Strategic decisions, no matter what you do, are carried out after careful and repeated discussions within yourselves, and it is inappropriate for me to be an outsider beside you, whimpering."

Seeing Zhang Qihang's reluctance, Li Pengfei became a little anxious: "Mr. Zhang, we sincerely beg you to give me some advice..."

"Don't say that. It's not enough to give advice," Zhang Qihang waved his hands again and again, and said to Li Pengfei, "Mr. Li, I can only tell you this. Even if you only produce vans, as long as you can guarantee product quality, control Good cost, this is enough to ensure that your Black Panther cars will live comfortably in the next 20 years. As for how to do it, this matter has to be discussed by you. As an outsider, Huateng Group, how can we do it? Interfering with your development strategy?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Qihang couldn't help but think of the well-known Jianshe motorcycle company in this era. Of course, he didn't think of the current Jianshe motorcycle company, but the Jianshe motorcycle company in 2020. In 2020, In China's motorcycle industry, the construction motorcycle company, which was once famous for a while, has become a small transparent company. The market share is still incomparable, but such a small and transparent character has achieved sales of more than 7 million yuan and a net profit of almost 1.74 million yuan, living a comfortable life.

In fact, there are still many domestic companies that were once famous but have disappeared without a trace. You think they may have gone bankrupt, but in fact they are still living comfortably. In Zhang Qihang’s view, if Panther Motors continues to make vans and mini-cars, and it is very likely to become such a company. In the ranking of domestic auto manufacturing companies, it is almost difficult to find them in the front, but if you look at their financial reports, You will be stunned to find that people don't worry about food, drink, and small money, and live a comfortable life. Under such circumstances, how could Zhang Qihang give random advice?

But the problem was that what Zhang Qihang said, in Li Pengfei's eyes, became the worst situation they had estimated before: Zhang Qihang had concerns.

What concerns does Zhang Qihang have?
Of course, it is concerned that once the Heibao Group produces cars, Huateng Industrial Group will supply the Heibao Group with engines and gearboxes.

In fact, as early as before, when Heibao Motor’s executives were discussing whether to start the car project, someone raised this question: Will Huateng Industrial Group have concerns and doubts about Heibao Motor’s entry into the car manufacturing industry?

What are the concerns of Huateng Industrial Group?
Of course, it is concerned about the number of gearboxes and engines purchased by Heibao Automobile from Huateng Group: the displacement of the engine used in cars is larger than that of micro-face and micro-cards, and the gearbox is a longitudinal rear-drive gearbox, which is different from that of a car. The front-transverse front-speed gearbox is not the same thing at all.

You know, except for the A00-level mini-cars like Alto, like Xiali, it is equipped with a 1.3-liter engine, such as Jetta, Fukang, Santana, etc., the engine displacement is 1 liters L, 1.6 liters, and 1.8 liters, but the smallest car engine of Huateng Industrial Group is the 1.8 liter engine on the Sylphy.

Under such circumstances, if Panther Motors wants to enter the car manufacturing industry, what will Huateng Industrial Group think?
Do you think that Panther Motors will reduce the purchase of engines and gearboxes on micro-faces and micro-cars?

It's very possible!
After a consensus was reached on this point, a subsequent question was placed in front of the executives of Panther Motors: In this case, in order to protect its own interests, what will Huateng Industrial Group do?
The answer is simple: As long as Panther Motors doesn't make sedans, everything will be fine?
It can be said that so far, Zhang Qihang's reaction has confirmed the analysis of the Black Panther Group's internal meeting discussion: Huateng Industrial Group is actually not happy to see the Black Panther Group produce cars.

Someone said, since you all know that Huateng Industrial Group doesn't want your Black Leopard to produce cars, why do you still ask Zhang Qihang for his opinion?Have your brains been kicked by a donkey?

Of course, Black Panther’s head was not kicked by a donkey. The reason why they came to ask Zhang Qihang’s opinion was actually the core problem: apart from Huateng Industrial Group, there is no other domestic company that is willing to supply engines to Black Panther. And the gearbox business!
In other words, although there are some third-rate power production companies that have been in contact with Panther Motors, the products of these companies are ineffective in almost all dimensions such as price, fuel consumption, reliability, product quality stability, and after-sales service. On a par with Huateng Industrial Group.

You said, under such circumstances, if the Heibao Group did not "ask" Zhang Qihang about Huateng Industrial Group's attitude towards the Heibao Group's car manufacturing, what else could they do?
For Heibao Automobile Group, they have no choice. If they want to produce cars, they can only seek the understanding of Huateng Industrial Group.

Fortunately, for the current difficulties, the Black Panther Group has already made an assessment...

Li Pengfei took a deep breath and said to Zhang Qihang: "Mr. Zhang, maybe I didn't explain it clearly. That's the case. Even if our Panther Motors produces cars, we will not stop the production of vans and mini-cars. On the contrary, Because of the increase in export vehicles, our Black Panther Group will increase the production of vans and mini-trucks in the future.”

The implication is that you can rest assured that the number of engines and gearboxes that our Panther Motors will purchase from your Huateng Group in the future will not decrease, but will increase.

As soon as he heard Li Pengfei's words, Zhang Qihang knew that he had misunderstood, and even knew where the misunderstanding was. But just as he wanted to explain, Zhang Qihang couldn't help laughing bitterly in his heart: With preconceived thinking, how could Li Pengfei Listen to yourself?Even if he said it himself, would Li Pengfei think that he was making excuses?
Thinking of this, Zhang Qihang was not in a hurry to explain. He pondered for a moment, and then said to Li Pengfei: "Mr. Li, I understand what you mean..."

Seeing that Li Pengfei was about to say something, Zhang Qihang waved his hand to signal Li Pengfei to listen to himself: "We have known each other for so many years, you should know my temper and character, I never talk nonsense, today I will tell you something The truth: the problems you are worried about are completely unnecessary, just one point, even without your Black Panther Group, our engines and gearboxes will not worry about sales, and we don’t even need to change the production tempo, do you believe this?"

"..."

Li Pengfei was dumbfounded for half a minute before he nodded reluctantly.

Yes, Zhang Qihang didn't say it, Li Pengfei really didn't realize it, but after hearing what Zhang Qihang said in his heart, Li Pengfei was shocked to find that the purchase of Panther cars seemed to be really not that important to Huateng Industrial Group. It's very simple. Over the past few years, many automobile manufacturers have emerged in China. Without exception, these automobile manufacturers do not have the ability to produce engines and gearboxes. At this time, those who are willing to sell engines and gearboxes to the outside world Huateng Industrial Group has become an alternative, and it has also become a favorite in the eyes of many companies.

In terms of looking for partners, Huateng Industrial Group does not pursue sales alone. On the contrary, they pay more attention to developing and growing together with their partners. But then again, if Huateng Industrial Group spread the word and said that it will increase vans from today Availability of specialized engines and transmissions...

The amount vacated by Panther is probably not enough for the market to digest.

At this moment, Li Pengfei realized that when the Black Panther Group discussed this matter, it was too wishful thinking.

Then the question also arises: Since the purchase of the Black Panther Group is not that important to the Huateng Group, how can Zhang Qihang's previous attitude be explained?
