Chapter 952 Shark
No wonder Lao Wang lost his composure, because before this, he never thought that Zhang Qihang could be so generous. He even thought that it would be good if he could slowly persuade Zhang Qihang in half a year, but who would have thought that, Zhang Qihang directly told him clearly that "China's auto market can accommodate a Yadi car!" How could this make Lao Wang dare not move?
It took a while for Lao Wang to adjust his mood, and said to Zhang Qihang a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, I let you see a joke."

"What are you joking about? In my opinion, you are the real one." Zhang Qihang waved his hand, indicating that it doesn't matter, and then asked curiously: "Since you plan to build a car, you should have a rough plan, right? Tell me, you What do you think, let me help you as a staff member."

If this was said by someone else, Lao Wang would definitely have to think about it, but based on his understanding of Zhang Qihang over the years, Lao Wang is very clear about Zhang Qihang's nature. Well, since Zhang Qihang said to help him as a staff officer, then he really planned to help him as a staff officer.So Lao Wang did not hesitate, and said: "Starting next year, I plan to spend half a year to a year to conduct a detailed inspection of those domestic automobile manufacturers that have the qualifications for car production but have stagnated in production. Choose a suitable one to acquire, and then develop slowly..."

Speaking of this, Old Wang hesitated for a while, and finally said to Zhang Qihang with some embarrassment: "To tell you the truth, in fact, before this, the object I was going to investigate was Qinchuan Automobile, but since Qinchuan Automobile came to you After the development in my hands is booming, it is estimated that Shaanxi Province is unlikely to sell Qinchuan Automobile to me."

Hearing what Lao Wang said, Zhang Qihang was also happy: "So, I ruined your good deed?"

Lao Wang repeatedly waved his hands and said, "You can't say that. In fact, before this, I was still a little hesitant about entering the automobile industry. After all, automobile manufacturing is a real asset-heavy project, but it is precisely because I saw your work on Qinchuan Automobile. Success has strengthened my confidence in entering the automobile manufacturing industry."

"If you want to say that, you still have to thank me?"

Lao Wang's words made Zhang Qihang feel a bit dumbfounded: What's wrong?Because of my appearance, Lao Wang strengthened his confidence to enter the automobile industry more than a year earlier?

Unexpectedly, Lao Wang nodded seriously and said, "Well, that's right."

This guy actually took it seriously...

Zhang Qihang shook his head and said, "It's done... Then when your Yadea car officially rolls off the assembly line, you have to treat me to a good meal."

Lao Wang nodded without hesitation: "That's for sure... Mr. Zhang, if we build a car, we can purchase the engine, gearbox and other parts from our group, right?"

"Of course no problem," Zhang Qihang said without hesitation: "As long as it is what Huateng Group has, I can provide it to you. In addition, you can rest assured in terms of price and delivery time, unless you really encounter force majeure factors, otherwise the group will never use any excuse to get stuck in your necks."

Just kidding, if Lao Wang buys subsystems and spare parts from Huateng Industrial Group, it is tantamount to helping Huateng Industrial Group increase production capacity and reduce costs. Why does Zhang Qihang disagree?

"With your words, I'm relieved." Old Wang was waiting for Zhang Qihang's words. He breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Mr. Zhang, what do you think of Jiangbei Automobile Factory?"

"Jiangbei Automobile Factory? The Jiangbei Automobile Factory that produces Jiangbei Alto?"

Zhang Qihang raised his eyebrows, a little surprised in his heart: Old Wang and Ao Tuo are really destined. In this time and space, after missing out on Qin Chuan Ao Tuo, he turned his attention to Jiang Bei Ao Tuo again.

"Yes, it is the Jiangbei Automobile Factory that produces Jiangbei Alto," Lao Wang said, "As far as I know, the current situation of Jiangbei Automobile Factory is not very good."

Hearing this, Zhang Qihang couldn't help sighing: "It's not just that their situation is not good, now even paying wages to workers is a problem..."

Immediately, Zhang Qihang told Lao Wang about the situation of Jiangbei Machinery Factory...

In fact, Jiangbei Automobile Factory is an old state-owned enterprise with a long history. Its earliest history can even be traced back to Ji@Lin Machine Bureau established in 1881.After the founding of New Huaxia, the Jiangbei Machinery Factory mainly produced and repaired ordnance, and later developed civilian products such as lathes and watt-hour meters.

After the reform and opening up, the leaders of Jiangbei Machinery Factory quickly realized the significance of the automobile industry, and began to set foot in the automobile manufacturing industry as early as 1986. At that time, Jiangbei Machinery Factory was based on the imported Fiat 126P car, with the imitation Fiat 126P chassis plus A set of self-designed body, developed a miniature car, this car even passed the determination of the Ministry of Machinery Industry at that time, but it was not put into production in the end.

However, although this car failed to be put into production, it allowed Jiangbei Machinery Factory to accumulate experience in automobile research and development. By 1988, Jiangbei Machinery Factory developed a Milu brand mini-car based on the Subaru REX, and it succeeded in 90. Obtained the production qualification of cars, but due to immature parts and components, the quality of vehicles was not up to standard, from the start of production in 1990 to the end of production in 1992, only more than 200 cars were produced in total.

Since 92, Jiangbei Machinery Factory has become one of the four domestic enterprises with Alto production qualifications. However, due to the constraints of capital, technology and market, Jiangbei Automobile has not formed a scale until 1999. Jiangbei Machinery Factory stopped in 8 years A total of more than 7 Alto cars were produced in a short period of time, and tens of thousands of yuan would be lost if no one was produced-it was able to survive these 600 years, thanks to the Bingzong, the superior unit of Jiangbei Machinery Factory.

The suspension of Alto's production has dealt a big blow to Jiangbei Machinery Factory. In addition to the deepening reform of state-owned enterprises in the past few years, the Bingzong has also been under great pressure. The support that can be given to Jiangbei Machinery Factory is very limited. The direct result is that in the past one or two years, The life of Jiangbei Machinery Factory is getting more and more difficult. The factory has stopped production, and the workers can only pay 50% of their wages through bank loans...

Speaking of this, Zhang Qihang sighed and said: "The leaders of Jiangbei Machinery Factory came to us before, and hope we can give them a hand."

Upon hearing this, Old Wang said in surprise, "Jiangbei Machine Factory has come to look for you?"

"Well," Zhang Qihang responded, and said, "Didn't we take over Qinchuan Automobile from Shaanxi Province and Bingzong? We saw that Qinchuan Machinery Factory, which was similar to us, quickly reversed after being taken over by us. In this situation, the leaders of Jiangbei Machinery Factory hope that we can also take over Jiangbei Machinery Factory."

"So that's the case," Old Wang nodded repeatedly, and then asked curiously, "Then why didn't our Huateng Group take over Jiangbei Machinery Factory?"

"This...how should I say it?" Zhang Qihang thought for a while, and said as tactfully as possible: "The leader of Jiangbei Machine Factory has put forward some requests for ideas, which are beyond the limit I can agree to, so..."

"Oh...that's it, I understand," although Zhang Qihang said it very euphemistically, but after so many years of experience in the system and society, how could Lao Wang not understand what Zhang Qihang meant?It suddenly dawned on me: "If that's the case, then it's really difficult to cooperate... But in this way, it's not easy for me to take over, right?"

"You can't say that," Zhang Qihang shook his head, and said euphemistically: "After all, the workers have to eat and live. They only get 50% of their wages. They can make do with it for a month or two, or even a year and a half. I can grit my teeth and hold back the load, but after a long time, what should I do if the family eats and the children go to school?
Anyway, you are not in a hurry, are you?So, it's a big deal to wait for half a year or even a year. If the current leadership team of Jiangbei Machinery Factory can't quickly reverse the situation and increase the workers' income... the workers can't be happy if they eat bran and swallow vegetables every day. "

The old Wang understood: "You are right, I am really impatient. If this is the case, then I will wait slowly."

Zhang Qihang nodded with a smile.

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

When Zhang Qihang and Lao Wang were talking about how to acquire Jiangbei Automobile Factory at the right time, they didn't know that someone in Dongying across the sea was about to talk about him...

Honda Motor Headquarters, President Toshio Yoshino asked Ichiro Yamada: "Mr. Yamada, you said on the phone before that the meeting with Huaxia Dongfeng Motor was not going well this time?"

"Hi!"

Ichiro Yamada bowed slightly, and said to Toshio Yoshino: "Your Excellency, the Chinese people have too much appetite. Didn't you ask me to recommend the CR-V to them as the first car for our cooperation pilot?"

"That's right," Toshio Yoshino nodded, "CR-V is the best-selling SUV product of our Honda in North America. Even the sales of Toyota RAV4 are a bit lower than that of our CR-V. Why? Let's take Are they still not satisfied with such great cooperation sincerity?"

Honda Motor has always attached great importance to the Chinese market. After GAC successfully established a cooperative relationship and successfully opened the Chinese mid-level sedan market with an Accord sedan, Honda Motor did not stop developing the Chinese market. On the contrary, The successful cooperation with GAC has strengthened Honda's own thinking: the Chinese market is a gold mine with unlimited potential, and Honda needs to continue to increase its efforts to mine this gold mine!

Based on this, after looking for a circle, Honda Motor set its sights on cooperation with China's second largest automobile manufacturing giant: Second Automobile.

For the Second Automobile Group, which has seen major domestic automobile manufacturers make a lot of money in the field of passenger vehicles, but its own Shenlong Fukang seems to be a little weak in succession, the olive branch handed over by Honda Motor can be said to be at the right time. The two sides hit it off. Negotiations for cooperation began immediately.

Knowing the status of Second Automobile Group in China's auto industry, Honda Motor also showed great sincerity, directly expressing that it can bring Honda's CR-V, the best-selling SUV product in North America, to China. In cooperating with Second Automobile, Honda feels that it is very sincere.

However, the result of the negotiation surprised Honda: the person in charge of the negotiations, Ichiro Yamada, said that Second Automobile did not like the CR-V very much.

Faced with this result, Toshio Yoshino, who attached great importance to this cooperation, immediately called Ichiro Yamada back and asked him to explain the situation in detail.

"Hi!"

Ichiro Yamada bowed again, and then said: "After visiting the CR-V prototype I brought over, the senior management of Second Automobile Company are very satisfied with the space, power and comfort of this car..."

Hearing this, Toshio Yoshino couldn't help but frowned slightly: Since the executives of the Second Automobile Group are very satisfied with the space, power and comfort of the CR-V, why is there still a problem?
I heard Yamada Ichiro continue to say: "But the executives of Second Automobile said that although this car is very good, in China, the most recognized car model is still a sedan, and it must be a sedan like the Accord. After we are already developing a new generation of Accord sedan, they hope that the model they will cooperate with is the Accord.

But regarding this request from the other party, we politely stated that Honda Motor has promised in the cooperation agreement signed with GAC that GAC Honda will be the only manufacturer of Honda Accord models in China. very unhappy……"

Hearing this, Toshio Yoshino frowned.

Now, he understood where the differences between the two parties were: after seeing the hot sale of the Accord sedan, Huaxia Second Automobile Co., Ltd. wanted to snatch the Accord sedan from GAC.

In Toshio Yoshino's view, this request from China Second Automobile Co., Ltd. was really too much, and of course Honda couldn't agree.

In fact, before the German Wolfsburg Group played the "dual car strategy" in the North and South Volkswagen, all the car manufacturers in the world did not think of "Fuck! So in the Chinese market, cars can still play like this?!", Honda Motor is also the same , They feel that since I have cooperated with GAC to produce the Accord, it is natural that I can no longer cooperate with other companies to produce this car.

Thinking of this, Toshio Yoshino couldn't help but secretly sighed, but he still wanted to hear what Yamada Ichiro meant, so he said, "Okay, Yamada-kun, I understand your difficulties, so for the next step with Huaxia Er Do you have any comments or suggestions on the negotiations on steam?"

"I... no," Yamada Ichiro hesitated, but said: "I completely obey your orders, President, and continue to work hard to communicate with China Second Automobile Works. I believe I will be able to convince them."

Seeing Yamada Ichiro's hesitation, Yoshino Toshio frowned, a little unhappy: "Yamada-kun, what's wrong? Are you unwilling to listen to me?"

The president was angry. As the person who was promoted by Toshio Yoshino, Ichiro Yamada panicked and quickly explained: "No, no, Mr. President, you misunderstood, I just...just..."

"Say!"

"Hi!" Yamada Ichiro responded quickly, and then said: "I just don't quite understand, why do we have to cooperate with Erqi?"

Ok?
Hearing Yamada Ichiro's words, Yoshino Toshio frowned even more: "Yamada-kun, what do you mean by that?"

Toshio Yoshino's words are almost asking Ichiro Yamada: Are you questioning the decision of the directors?
Yamada Ichiro was taken aback, and quickly explained: "Your Excellency, what I mean is, according to my contact with the senior executives of Second Automobile Works, I think their thinking is too conservative...why don't we change a partner? ? For example, Huateng Industrial Group."

"Huateng Industrial Group?"

Hearing Yamada Ichiro's words, Yoshino Toshio was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he frowned and asked Yamada Ichiro: "Why do you think it is more appropriate for Honda to cooperate with Huateng Industrial Group?"

Yamada Ichiro explained: "No, Your Excellency, President, I don't think it is more appropriate for Honda to cooperate with Huateng Industrial Group, but I think that in the whole of China, the only thing that may put pressure on our Honda is this Huateng Group. Teng Industrial Group, their innovative ability and vitality are really scary and scary, especially Mr. Zhang Qihang, his talent in car design is like a big devil! But if we can cooperate ways to suppress their innovative ability and vitality..."

Uh-huh? !
Toshio Yoshino instantly understood what Ichiro Yamada meant: the original intention of cooperating with Huateng Industrial Group was not to make money, but to suppress the vitality and innovation of Huaxia's auto industry!

In other words, as long as the most innovative and dynamic company in Huaxia Motors is suppressed, will Honda still worry about not being able to make money in Huaxia?
This idea of ​​Yamada Ichiro made Toshio Yoshino feel a sudden light in front of his eyes, so much so that he couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

It’s no wonder that Toshio Yoshino thinks Ichiro Yamada’s idea is good. Toshio Yoshino, who participated in the “technical exchange” with Huateng Industrial Group, was very impressed with Zhang Qihang. Every car launched is extremely popular, and in the phone report a few days ago, Ichiro Yamada even told Toshio Yoshino on the phone that in the report card of major Chinese auto manufacturers just released by the China Travel Association, With a total annual sales volume of more than 42 vehicles, Huateng Industrial Group has overwhelmed China's FAW Group and SAIC, becoming the well-deserved NO.1 in the field of China's passenger vehicles!

This news, while shocking Toshio Yoshino, also regarded Huateng Industrial Group as the most powerful competitor of Honda Motor in the Chinese market, but now, his confidant Ichiro Yamada gave another suggestion : Since the innovation ability of Huateng Industrial Group is so strong, why can't we suppress the innovation ability and vitality of Huateng Industrial Group by "cooperating" with Huateng Industrial Group?
No Dongying automobile manufacturing company wants to see the healthy development of Huaxia's automobile industry. They hope that Huaxia's automobile industry can become an "economic colony" of Dongying's automobile industry. This proposal by Ichiro Yamada is essentially to suppress In order to strengthen the "economic colony" approach to high-quality enterprises in the Chinese auto market.

After thinking about it, Toshio Yoshino even got up and patted Ichiro Yamada on the shoulder, and said to Ichiro Yamada approvingly: "Kun Yamada, I have to say, you are a very thoughtful person."

Ichiro Yamada was immediately overwhelmed. He didn't expect the president to praise himself so much. After putting his heart back completely, he quickly bowed and said, "You praised him."

"No, this is not a compliment, it's Yamada-kun, your suggestion is really valuable," Yoshino Toshio shook his head, and said to Yamada Ichiro: "It also opened a new window for us to think about problems... Of course, this matter I have to think carefully about what to do.”

In fact, in this short period of time, Toshio Yoshino has made a decision in his heart: it is certain to suppress the innovation ability and vitality of Huateng Industrial Group through cooperation, but this requires huge energy and burden. It cannot only be undertaken by Honda, but other companies in the Japanese auto industry are enjoying the achievements of Honda Motor there.

So, what to do, Toshio Yoshino still needs to discuss with the presidents of Toyota Motor and Nissan Motor-Honda Motor can certainly do things that suppress the innovation ability and vitality of the Chinese auto industry, but are you people? Should some compensation be given to Honda?At the same time give some assistance?
Naturally, Ichiro Yamada didn't know that President Yoshino had already considered so many things in such a short period of time, so he should be right again and again.

"Okay, Yamada-kun, you go down first," Yoshino Toshio said to Yamada Ichiro with a pleasant face: "Go to the financial department to get 500 million yen, and after going back, take a good rest for a week, give yourself a vacation, and relax. After a period of exhaustion, while spending time with your family, the club has more important matters for you to deal with."

Hearing that the company gave him a bonus of 500 million yen, Ichiro Yamada was overjoyed and said quickly, "Hi! Your Excellency, President, then I will go down."

500 million yen, roughly equivalent to 3.8 yuan, which is equivalent to about two and a half months' salary of Ichiro Yamada. My "hard work fee" of 150 million yen is not bad, but I didn't expect it to be 500 million yen!

No wonder Yamada Ichiro was so excited.

Toshio Yoshino understood Yamada Ichiro's reaction very well, and waved his hand with a smile: "Go, relax."

Hearing the words, Yamada Ichiro bowed deeply to Toshio Yoshino again, then bowed his waist and exited Toshio Yoshino's office.

Watching Ichiro Yamada leave his office, Toshio Yoshino pondered for a moment, then picked up the phone and dialed out. After a while, the phone was connected, and Toshio Yoshino showed a bright smile on his face: "Moshi Moshi, I am Toshio Yoshino of Honda Motor, is President Zhang here? I have something I want to communicate with President Zhang...Okay..."

While talking, Yoshino Toshio was a little envious of Zhang Fujio's surname: This is a surname that only Chinese people have...

After a while, the voice of Fujio Cho, the current president of Toyota Motor, rang on the phone: "Moshi Moshi, is this President Yoshino? I am Fujio Cho from Toyota..."
