Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 972

"An offensive weapon like a tank is on the embargo list, right?!"

After the shocking words came out of Carter's mouth, everyone including Director Geng was shocked!
The military off-road vehicle in front still has a technical blockade, but you are good, you just turn your head and start launching satellites, right? !Military off-road vehicles are thinking about how to introduce technology around the bend, let’s talk about tanks? !

"This needs to be reported and applied for. After the application, it can still be sold!"

Tapping the back of his hand with his fingers, Carter was also thinking about the problem
"Our M60 main battle tank has been confirmed to be discontinued this year. Although the U.S. military will have to use this tank for a long time, it is no longer part of our front-line combat equipment. If the technology is exported, it must not Possibly, but selling the whole vehicle and doing FMS, that is, direct military sales, as long as the approval is approved, there is no problem!"

"This tank, how should I put it, is a bit of a hodgepodge. Except for the AVDS-1790-P diesel engine, which is a relatively new application, the rest of the base is the bottom of the M48, and even the turret has not changed. The M68 105 mm rifle The gun is a hybrid artillery made by combining the barrel of the British L7 gun and the tail of our American T25 gun, but for those of you who are still using 100mm smoothbore guns, this big guy should still be good!"

"However, whether this technology can be absorbed in reverse depends on you! I am sure that if it is a complete vehicle sale, I am sure to persuade Congress to pass it, but technology export is absolutely impossible!"

The M60, which has been confirmed to be discontinued at the end of this year, still has a lot of inventory in the Delaware defense factory.Originally, Iacocca hoped to sell this batch of goods to the army through Carter's channel.
But it is clear that this path is no longer feasible.With a better M1, who wants such a "hybrid"? !
Carter, who had been thinking about foreign military sales, suddenly thought of this thing. Isn't there a very reliable buyer in front of him? !
I don't know if it's popular for everyone to do this now, 69 is basically a 59 change now.When the next generation of tanks comes out, there will be a big gap in the middle. At this time, regardless of whether the technology of the M60 is useful or not, it is good to use it as a reference!

This is at least an order of five or six tanks!
As for the failure to pass the approval, it is basically impossible!My own order of more than 1000 million is not even a fart if I am mixed in it
I sell some inventory and sell some "non-performing assets" that the US Army does not want. What's the problem? !

Without challenging the bottom line of the United States, there is still a lot of room for maneuver!

"We need to have a meeting to discuss this. When we came, we didn't make relevant preparations."

"Okay, I also thought of this on the spur of the moment, and it won't be a matter of time to do it. Let's talk about the topic of entering the car. I see that you have even produced the Hongqi CA750F. With this foundation, take over the Dodge 600. It’s even more logical! As for what you just said, the Audi 100 is a new car, but you should also take a look, there are far more Dodge 600s running on the road than Audis.”

"I can't say that as a whole, it's very backward! Moreover, I can also decide to introduce the new 300C to China, but the conditions for the introduction of this car may not be as good as the Dodge 600! But believe me, this is not a loss. !"

"First of all, we are transferring the entire production line of the Dodge 600, which means that we will need to order from FAW-Chrysler for all Dodge 600 aftermarket parts in the US market in the future. While increasing the marginal cost, we have also given a lot of Secondly, if FAW introduces the Dodge 600 and forms a joint venture with us, then as a close partner, we will naturally offer preferential terms for the cooperation of the Chrysler 300C. I am patting my head and thinking made a plan."

"If the production line is transferred and the money is collected directly, I guess you don't have that much budget now. If it is converted into shares of a joint venture company, combined with the Dodge 600 production line, it will undoubtedly make us Chrysler too much. From the perspective of long-term cooperation, This distribution ratio is not conducive to stability. So I think so."

"The Chrysler 300C production line is still free for FAW to use. But there is a condition. We need to sign a guarantee agreement. FAW will guarantee the sales of no less than [-] units per year for ten years. After ten years expire, the production line The ownership is owned by FAW-Chrysler, and you can understand it as a disguised loan contract."

Assuming that from the start of the cooperation next year, by 1998, no less than 300 Chrysler [-]Cs will be galloping on the streets of China. What is that picture? !

It is no exaggeration to say that at least in the next ten years, that is, from 98 to 08.Chrysler is the representative of Chinese consumers buying cars!

"What about the price of this car? Do you have any requirements for pricing?"

Annual sales of [-] units.
Thinking about the conditions offered by Carter, Director Geng's heart was visibly moved.But after the heartbeat, it is entangled.
Let me talk about heartbeat first. From the perspective of sales alone, this condition is not difficult.After all, it has been almost ten years since the re-opening, and the social atmosphere is also changing.
Many enterprises and institutions with poor returns have to buy a car to support the table even if they take out a loan.These days, although cars are still difficult to sell among the people, it doesn't mean that there are very few customers!

The price has become the key point of the difficulty of achieving this condition!
If the price is not high, there is definitely a lot to do!It is basically equivalent to whoring a production line called "Little Bentley" for nothing!

"The price is based on the market. As far as I know, the current price of Santana is 8 yuan, and our Chrysler 300C is more than 20 yuan! The specific pricing will be discussed in detail when the joint venture is established. My psychological expectation for its pricing now That is no less than 20 RMB."

"20 is still quite high! However, Mr. Black, our plan now is to introduce a model, please do this."

Director Geng looked at the leaders around him, thinking about the more explicit words just now
"For now, the most direct reason for our idea of ​​technology introduction is that in the past, the energy consumption of our cars produced by FAW was too high, so we were ordered to stop production, and the impact of imported cars on our domestic cars was too great. No one else can blame this, but I can only blame myself for not being able to make a good car. But the gap lies in this. In a short period of time, using the past platform to transform a new car, it cannot be improved. If it is developed from scratch, it will be too late.”

"Introducing a mature mid-to-large car and learning its technology during the production process is our only choice now. However, we only need one car! This sentence may not sound good, but in the future, we still need to Develop your own car! So, if you introduce two cars, will there be some problems?"

"It doesn't matter! Director Geng, think about it. The market is free at any time, but it is also easy to be guided. Think about it, if you only introduce one model, now your car can only be sold Who is it for? Each unit? At that time, the streets and alleys will be full of one car, and when the private consumption power rises, when they buy a car, who will they subconsciously choose?"

"Introducing two joint venture models now will allow them to compete with each other, so that one model does not dominate. Finally, after your domestic models come out, you will find that the market has been swallowed up! Most consumers, They all subconsciously fall in love with a certain car!"

"I know what you're thinking. I think it's a waste to introduce two models now. But I don't think so. Instead, I think this is a better choice for you!"
