Chapter 1075 Which bastard's idea?

In the office, Lu Jian saw St. Pierre again.

"Mr. St. Pierre, you are welcome, please sit down."

"Good afternoon, Mr. Lu, I don't know if you have noticed the invitation letter we sent." St. Pierre said straight to the point, "We want to set up a purely educational foundation, which will be managed by you."

Lu Jian said, "I have indeed received the invitation letter, and I am very grateful to you Rolls-Royce Group for everything you have done, but I still need to think about it, and I also need to report to the leader."

"OK, I understand your Chinese business habits." St. Pierre nodded, "I respect your decision, and we plan to set up several schools with 200 million RMB."

"Establish a school?" Lu Jian said that he was getting more and more confused about this company.

Although Volkswagen has not paid any dividends in recent years, it has always used profits to invest in localization.

But it is not like the Rolls-Royce Group, which spends all kinds of money when it comes up, and it is extravagant, with millions to tens of millions at every turn.

It feels like their money is blown by the wind.

Almost everything that can be done is beneficial to the country and the people.

Can't fault it at all.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it has won the favor of the Chinese.

"Yes, Mr. Lu." St. Pierre said with a smile, "Maybe you don't understand, because this is our boss's decision.

Otherwise, as an outsider, if I come up with the decisions I mentioned this morning, everyone will think that I, a foreigner, have bad intentions. "

He didn't hide it, and continued: "We don't ask you to have any inclination towards us in terms of policy, so don't worry, I'm here today to go through the back door."

"Mr. St. Pierre, you are joking." Lu Jian laughed, "I don't think you can get any back door from me, but I welcome your investment in China, and Shanghai Skoda is also a joint venture between our two companies, naturally Find a way to make this company develop well.”

As he spoke, he picked up his teacup.

Invite Saint-Pierre to tea.

After a while, he continued, "I have a few comments on what you raised at the press conference this morning."

"Please tell me, Mr. Lu."

"The first thing you set up a research and development center, we are highly in favor of, and will provide you with what we can in terms of policies, but I think you still need to give feedback to our superiors on this point."

"clear."

"Second and third, we have no objection to resuming the production of Shanghai brand cars. After all, according to our joint venture agreement, Shanghai brand cars have now been included in Skoda's banner. I believe that Skoda can reproduce the style of Shanghai brand cars. "

"For the fourth thing, I will consider your request, but I still have to give feedback to my superiors. I have already said this point."

"The fifth thing, if you are willing to set up a few more production bases, we are naturally willing to cooperate. As for the proportion of joint ventures, we can discuss and meet your needs as much as possible."

"The sixth thing, you said that you will give cars to all athletes participating in the Olympic Games this year. I dare not give you any answer to this point, because it also needs to be discussed with the leadership."

Lu Jian made separate opinions on the several things mentioned by Skoda.

Because he only manages the joint venture factory and has no other rights.

If Rolls-Royce wants to do these things, it needs to discuss with higher-level departments such as the Ministry of Industry and the Sports Commission.

"However, I will pass these opinions on to the corresponding department." Lu Ji'an continued, "I believe we will receive their reply soon, but I don't know the specifics. We can only respect the opinions of our superiors."

St. Pierre nodded, "I fully understand. As I said just now, we will always respect China's position and opinions, and we are also committed to raising the level of China's auto industry."

"Mr. Saint-Pierre, I believe you will be a good friend of the Chinese people." Lu Jian smiled slightly, "But there is one thing, Skoda cannot conduct malicious sales in China, nor can it use illegal means to suppress Shanghai Volkswagen.

If you are superior to Shanghai Volkswagen in terms of quality or other aspects, it is a good thing for the public to choose Skoda, and it also puts pressure on Shanghai Volkswagen to improve. "

For Lu Jian's words, St. Pierre expressed his understanding and expressed his views:

"We use normal sales methods in any country. We cannot ask people to buy our cars just because we donate cars to athletes or set up educational foundations."

"Moreover, we have always strived for survival on the basis of quality, and there are no external factors. If our car brand is indeed inferior to Shanghai Volkswagen, and it prevents the public from choosing our brand, then we need to change it. "

Because joint ventures are like this, many things need to be discussed by both parties, and then come up with a result that everyone is satisfied with.

Unlike private enterprises, as long as it is within the legal scope, you can do many things.

"Of course, any brand depends on its quality." Lu Jian was very satisfied with St. Pierre.

Because of the localization of Volkswagen Santana, many SAIC employees began to drift.

Therefore, Lu Ji'an intends to take this opportunity to warn all employees to keep a clear head, increase their sense of urgency, and meet new challenges from domestic and international.

The Skoda company in front of you is the best example.

Looking at the current joint venture car brands in China, no company can be as rich and powerful as the Rolls-Royce Group.

Therefore, if Shanghai Volkswagen cannot continue to maintain its competitiveness, it is very likely that it will be killed by the Rolls-Royce Group.

After talking about this, everyone's topic did not continue to talk about these aspects.

Because no matter the annual output or other goals, the two parties have already negotiated a contract, so there is no need to discuss these irrelevant things.

The most important thing is that Skoda has not yet rolled off a single car, so it is useless to talk about it.

It's better to wait until the first car is officially off the assembly line before discussing these matters in a targeted manner.

After a while, St. Pierre left.

After sending St. Pierre away, Lu Jian packed up his things and prepared to go to the leader to discuss the things St. Pierre proposed.

St. Pierre's press conference today is just the first step in this game.

But if he wanted to kill the public as soon as he came up, the leader probably killed Su Chen first.

The public can focus on problems such as poor quality and dislike by the audience, but they must not be crushed to death by Skoda with heavy money.

The first step is naturally to become a hit. These news will definitely make the public remember the name Skoda.

Therefore, to compete with the public, Skoda still has a long way to go.

When St. Pierre left Lu Jian's office, Su Chen suddenly received an invitation.

"Let me go to Shanghai TV station to do a program?" He looked at the invitation letter in a daze, "Which bastard's idea is this?"
