Rebirth 05 Be a car tycoon

Chapter 125 The enemy of the enemy is the friend

The test of negotiation is patience.

Mark originally thought that Xiao Hui, a man in his 20s, must have no patience.

When the time comes, he will ask himself the purpose of his visit, and then he will naturally propose cooperation.

This thing will go much smoother.

But I didn't expect that the two sides exchanged pleasantries for half an hour in the conference room, but they didn't get into the topic.

The appearance of business bragging made the accompanying personnel of both sides feel a little hallucinated.

Is my company really that powerful in China?

And the accompanying personnel are also fully aware of why someone else in the general manager's office is not themselves.

This business bragging and patient attitude alone is not comparable to myself.

Do you really think that other people's success is that simple?
Those who can sit in a high position, no matter what the reason behind it, must have some skills.

It's just that this ability is not necessarily the kind of ability you recognize.

After all, some special performances in special places can also be regarded as a kind of skill.

"Mr. Xiao, there is a saying in China that is called an enemy's enemy is a friend. I wonder if you agree with it?"

In the end, I found that if I didn't get into the topic, today's meeting would probably be fruitless.

So Mark still took the initiative to start leaning on the theme.

"Mr. Mark, I very much agree with your point of view, and there is a saying in China, that is, when the enemy comes, there is a shotgun, and when a friend comes, there is good wine.

I hope to have a good drink with Mr. Mark tonight. "

Xiao Hui did not take this opportunity to intentionally embarrass Mark.

Although this meeting was proposed by the other party, if the cooperation plan is good, it is not impossible to consider it.

Even if Nanshan Automobile wants to enter the international market in the future, if it can have a more pleasant cooperation with Tongtong Automobile, it will probably be much more convenient.

Of course, the two parties can never become true friends.

Xiao Hui has a very clear understanding of this point.

"That's exactly what I want to do. Being able to become friends with Mr. Xiao is the biggest reward I have gained from coming to Huaxia."

Now that the meeting has reached this point, it is natural to start talking about business.

Soon, Mark continued: "As we all know, the Huaxia auto market is now the second largest in the world, and is expected to become the largest in the world in the next few years.

In this market, the most profitable is the mid-to-high-end sedan.

Of course, what I’m talking about is not the profit margin of a bicycle, but the data that combines sales volume and profit. "

Xiao Hui naturally understood Mark's words easily.

After all, if you want to talk about making money, luxury cars are definitely more profitable.

It would be weird if you didn't make as much money selling a Ferrari as you would selling an N5.

But in China's current auto market, the sales of luxury cars are relatively limited after all.

The sales volume of Baobao's 5 series exceeds that of all other mid-to-high-end cars like in later generations, but it still hasn't happened so soon.

So now we are still looking at models of the level of Jager and Camry.

"Yes, in this market, it seems that Dongyang Automobile's performance is the most eye-catching."

"Not only can it be described as brilliant, but it can even be described as monopoly.

Not only in the Huaxia market, but also in Citigroup.

I wonder if Nanshan Automobile intends to enter this level of car market? "

When Mark asked here, he felt a little nervous.

Xiao Hui's answer will determine the success of today's negotiation.

After all, if Nanshan Automobile is ready to enter, then it will be very difficult to achieve his cooperation proposal.

"Nanshan Automobile is a small company after all, a young company after all, the current model planning has taken up a lot of manpower and material resources, and there is no plan to enter this market in a short time."

Although he was still not sure what Mark wanted to do, Xiao Hui thought about it and gave the answer truthfully.

Although Nanshan Automobile's strategy has not been announced to the public, as long as it is carefully analyzed, it can still be seen after all.

Besides, judging from the conversation just now, Tongtong Automobile really wants to come to discuss cooperation with Nanshan Automobile this time.

In this case, being honest with each other is very important.

Tongtong Auto in early 2007 was not the one that was about to go bankrupt under the financial crisis.

Xiao Hui wouldn't mind at all if he could suck a mouthful of blood from them through cooperation.

"Great!"

Mark couldn't help applauding.

However, he immediately realized that his performance seemed a bit inappropriate.

"Sorry, I didn't mean that, I just wanted to express..."

"It's okay, Mark always has something to say directly!"

Xiao Hui was not angry because of Mark's performance just now, and even guessed a little information because of this.

"Before we talk about formal cooperation, I want to confirm one more question, is that okay?"

"Please speak!" Xiao Hui stretched and retracted, motioning for Mark to continue talking.

"Did Mr. Xiao design the appearance of Nanshan N5 and Nanshan N7?"

Having said that, Mark couldn't help but use honorifics.

They are very respectful to those who are capable.

"Why, is this important?"

"Yes!"

When Mark said this, his eyes were fixed on Xiao Hui, as if he wanted to see through him.

"You can think this is all my design."

Xiao Hui's answer made Mark feel a little confused, but it barely answered his question.

"Then, has Mr. Xiao ever tried to design a mid-to-high-end car?"

After going around for so long, Mark finally revealed his real purpose.

"You want me to design a mid-to-high-end sedan for Tongtong Automobile, a mid-to-high-end sedan that is more stunning than Jager and Camry?"

"That's right, that's the main purpose of my visit today!"

When Mark said this, a heart raised his throat again.

"Can you tell me what price Tongtong Auto is going to pay for this?

In other words, can Nanshan Automobile benefit from this cooperation? "

Xiao Hui didn't directly refuse, which gave Mark hope.

Obviously, now it is time for the two sides to negotiate terms.

As long as the conditions are right, this cooperation can obviously be successful.

"If Mr. Xiao's design plan is approved by me, then Tongtong Motors is willing to spend a lot of money to buy this design, and we can pay the design fee according to the asking price of the top European design firm."

Mark's words can be regarded as full of sincerity.

However, Xiao Hui was not satisfied.

"If you think those design firms in Europe can bring you suitable products, you can go to them?"

This sentence made Mark speechless.
