Chapter 160 A Brand New Car Sales Model

Early the next morning.

Xu Fei met Pupu, a builder who hurried over after a night of repairs in Zeshi.

The other party has a golden back hair, is close to 1.9 meters tall, wears a black suit, a red tie, and a pair of shiny black leather shoes, revealing the demeanor of a successful person everywhere.

According to information provided by the Boston Police Department.

Don't look at the other party's 40-[-]-year-old appearance, he is actually over half a century old.

At present, it is mainly engaged in hotels and real estate, and there are also several jams, department stores, etc.

His personal worth is as high as 26 billion U.S. dollars, and his personal assets are no less than [-] million U.S. dollars.

Compared to buying crude oil with tens of billions at every turn, and compared with Tee, Carlyle, and Bain, which often have tens of billions of financial collisions, this amount of money seems a bit insufficient.

But in fact, Xiao Xu's personal assets are at most 7000 million red notes.

Carlyle's investment is equivalent to taking other people's money, helping others make money, and making some money by the way, like chairman Raymond, whose personal assets do not exceed US$[-] million.

Even Romney, the founder of Bain Capital, has a personal asset of only $[-] million.

The reasons are somewhat complicated, such as taxes and fees in North America.

Therefore, Pupu is the richest businessman Xu Fei has ever met.

In addition, the other party is well-known in the business field, including the entire North America, and even the European region.

Has gone bankrupt four times, risen four times, had cheating scandals, been involved in divorce turmoil, and published many books on business management and business experience. Xu Fei remembered some celebrity family histories that the secretary bought as decorations, and two of them were related to Pupu related.

It's just that the other party's reputation in the business field doesn't seem to be very good.

And now on the verge of a fifth bankruptcy...

But a builder who has packaged itself as a 'brand image', made a lot of money by naming its name everywhere, and made a comeback after many bankruptcies must have something unique.

now.

The builder got out of the car, and suddenly cast his eyes frequently on the Shiliuqi iron bridge between Daze Power and the provincial road.

When he turned his head back, he saw the oversized Ajin and Ayin shining in the sunlight on both sides of the main entrance of Daze Power, and his eyes fell into a momentary sluggishness.

So that the walking posture is smooth.

"Hi Xu, your toys are simply obsessive."

"If you like it, you can buy a pair and take it home."

"Yes, I already have this plan!"

Pupu nodded very seriously, followed Xu Fei into the factory area, and continued:

"Perhaps you don't know, I'm breaking an appointment. There is a 77-story skyscraper opposite the parent star United Conference headquarters. Every time I go there, I worry about the grandeur on the opposite side, because it is too dazzling, especially that one. Hundreds of colorful flags..."

"In your east, this should be called Fengshui conflict. I am an architect, and I understand."

"So my business has not been very good recently."

"If I take these two strange guys back and put them on both sides of the main entrance of my Pupu Building..."

"I believe that those important people from various countries who came to the meeting will definitely come to see it as soon as possible."

"At that time, I will definitely exclaim: Pupu! Pupu!!"

"Yes, I'm going to buy two more and put them in Manhattan..."

"No, I want to buy ten seats, and I want to put them on the gate of the Taj blockade."

"perhaps……"

Pope said, looking towards the sky, "Maybe I have to ask the space station if they can see it from above."

'Are you a chatterbox? '

Xu Fei kept silent all the way, took a sightseeing car to the No. 1 office building directly opposite the gate, and walked into the meeting room prepared in advance.

"Then here comes the question, Mr. Pupu, do you want iron, copper, or gold?"

Pu Pu looked back at the two five-meter-high Ajin and Ayin at the gate, and wanted to ask for a gold one, but obviously couldn't afford it.

"It must be made of copper. If I put two gold towers there, I'm worried that someone will steal them. You may not know it. It's very messy."

"Okay, ten seats, $200 million, remittance or cash?"

"My friend, is this too expensive?"

"The price of copper is 2000 U.S. dollars per ton. Although Ajin and Ayin are not solid, they weigh 5 tons. Only raw materials, ten pieces are worth 10 U.S. dollars."

Xu Fei took the quotation prepared by the big secretary on the spot, "Look, we need smelting. In order to avoid oxidation, we must use vacuum technology to carry out seven or seven 49 processes, and then form it in one piece. After cooling, we use a unique electroplating process. Gives it a radiant effect.

The most important thing is that we have to spend a lot of money to hire Master Huang, who is well-known in the Asia-Pacific region, to consecrate them personally. You may not know what consecration is. Simply put, it is to let them guard Fengshui... So, you can't buy them in other places. arrive. "

Pu Pu was silent for a long time, "Okay my friend, but if you sell it to someone else, it can't be cheaper than me."

"Coincidentally, the sales have skyrocketed recently, and the price is about to increase."

Xu Fei took out the product manual, "Besides, they are not unknown people, one is called Jingua and the other is named Yingua. If you are familiar with Chinese culture, you must know Jinchan."

"Yes, I have a few Chinese friends who are also in the real estate business. They like to put a golden toad at the door with a copper coin in their mouth."

"That's a juvenile body. I'm an adult. I have achieved success in cultivation and have great supernatural powers... Well, if you talk too much, you won't understand."

"No, Xu, I understand, they can bring me good luck!"

"Yes, just like I..."

"Yeah, like your dog, business is booming."

"..."

"Xu, you don't look very happy."

"If you don't mention the dog, maybe we can be friends."

"If you let me invest in a dog too, we might be brothers."

'If it wasn't for seeing you as a foreigner, I would enforce the Wong Nai Kong rules on you right now. '

Xu Fei sat obliquely on the conference table, just about to change the subject, when suddenly an unfamiliar number called.

"Way, me, Xu Fei, Xu Shuji."

"Peace be upon you my brother, I am Harden."

"..."

Pupu, who was also sitting on the table and was going to hug Xu Fei's shoulder, seemed to hear something, and after being slightly taken aback, "Harden?"

Immediately afterwards, the same surprised voice came from the receiver: "Pupu?"

"Hi, my brother, do you know Xu too?"

"Yes, I'm shopping for hounds."

"Great, we're all brothers."

Pu Pu smiled happily, seeing Xu Fei's puzzled eyes, "Harden, my cousin's cousin, we used to play together when we were young, and we have a very good relationship...Oh, by the way, my cousin is the prince of the oil country."

After finishing speaking, he stopped interfering with the conversation between the two of them, walked aside arrogantly, and visited the light box on the wall of the conference room.

After Xu Fei heard it, he quickly thought through his thoughts, always feeling that he was messing around, whether it was the enemy or himself, it seemed that there was a suspicion of kinship.

"Mr. Harden, what's the matter?"

"Xu, if you do business with him, you must be careful, he is a liar."

"Ok?"

Just as Xu Fei wanted to change the room and ask carefully, Harden immediately said:
"Xu, today I met Mr. Lan, your special advisor to TEP. He is unwilling to sell me his jeep and truck. As a result, it will be difficult for me to help you open up sales in West Asia."

Nonsense, Lan Feng went to West Asia to sell Little Red Flag.

If you drive the little red flag, come to Boom from time to time~

The brand is indeed awesome, but what do the superiors think?
However, Xu Fei entrusted Harden with the help of selling dogs, not for Xiaohongqi, but to open up sales for TEP cars.

As long as there is an order, slightly adjust the shell of the small red flag, hang the three silver-gray capital letters of TEP, and it will become Hongqi's biggest competitor in the future: the TEP series.

"Mr. Harden, you should ask Zhang Shiren about this matter. When he delivers the hound to you, he will bring relevant information."

"Okay, Xu, can we add 10 more hounds?"

"Do you still have money?"

"I don't dare to swallow my assets. At least I have many brothers and sisters in North America. They will find a way to get back what belongs to us. In addition, I also have many industries in the oil country."

"That's great, I wish us a happy cooperation."

"Yes, may peace be upon you..."

Every time Xu Fei heard this sentence, his scalp felt numb, so he simply stayed away from the phone and waited for more than ten seconds before hanging up.

Then he looked at Pu Pu who was pretending to admire the light box, but actually pricked up his ears to eavesdrop.

"Harden said that your Pupu Mansion is very nice, and he plans to arrange for a few brothers and sisters to stay there for one night."

"Xu, don't make such a joke, it's my fate, if I get Boom~, I will feel so distressed that I will commit suicide."

Pupu said, and took out a magnetic card, "I know the rules of TEP, pay with one hand, and deliver with one hand. I can invest in the hound breeding base first, and then pick up the goods."

"You don't have to think about investing in hounds. Raymond and I have already made an agreement that no third party is allowed to join."

"What a bad decision. However, I saw the TEP (North America) official website, which is bidding for TEP car dealerships. Xu, I have a great idea."

"Tell me."

"I have many industries, hotels, office buildings, resorts, airlines, hospitals, department stores... Xu, in fact, TEP does not need that kind of backward dealership. We can put TEP bulletproof vehicles in the lobby of high-end hotels and at the main entrance of resorts. Put it on the big stage of the casino, or even at the entrance of the VIP channel of the airport.

Ordinary TEP cars can be placed in ordinary hotel lobbies, mall gates, office building lobbies, etc., experience at any time, test drive at any time, order on site, and deliver to your door!

Moreover, we can also be placed on the opposite side of the joint meeting of the mother star, which is my site. "

Xu Fei experienced the expansion pack. In the large shopping malls in the future world, he has also seen cars placed in special positions. He even saw a car dealer set up a store on the first floor of the mall.

Therefore, there was the idea of ​​supply and marketing cooperatives selling cars.

However, supply and marketing cooperatives serve the grassroots and are obviously not suitable for selling luxury cars.

What Pupu said just made up for the gap in the mid-to-high-end market of Xiaohongqi and TEP.

Xu Fei nodded slightly, agreeing to the proposal.

He took out the communicator and contacted Raymond.

"Old Lei, I suddenly have a great idea."

"Say."

"If you have hotels, office buildings, or resorts, we can put the big red flag or high-end TEP cars in the most conspicuous places, experience them at any time, test drive them at any time, order them on the spot, and deliver them to your door!"

Pupu: "???"

Raymond: "It's a good idea. Carlyle does have some high-end hotels, but to do this, you need to give me a commission."

"This is not a problem. In addition, there is a builder named Pupu next to me. He also wants to do the same, and he has a building opposite the Mother Planet United Conference."

"I know him." Raymond thought for a while, "You mean, do it together?"

"The number of hotels invested by Carlyle is limited, and the number of hotels in Pupu Group is also limited. Maybe we can form a car sales company that focuses on high-end places. Lao Lei, you will be the chairman and be in charge of contacts. Pupu will be the general manager and be in charge of Sales. I am the factory manager and responsible for the supply.”

"Great!" Pop excitedly said, "With the support of General Raymond, I dare to drive the TEP car into the White House!"

Raymond: "No need, I've already been there."

Then he said: "Xu, we can cooperate, but I have to bring in another group of people, otherwise we won't be able to cover the entire field."

"no problem."

"But in this case, what about Little Hongqi?"

"Normal sale."

"What I mean is, you are in charge of both brands, and you can't favor one over the other, otherwise, how would your leaders think of you?"

"Makes sense."

Little Red Flag has an oriental background, so it is impossible to sell it as unscrupulously as TEP.

In other words, once Little Red Flag poses a threat to North American local brands, North American capital will definitely try to take a stake in Hongqi, or even take away Hongqi through various methods.

If both methods fail, North America will definitely ban sales, embargoes, imports, or impose tariffs...

At that time, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for Xiaohongqi, which relies on the North American market.

Xu Fei pondered for a while, "Little Red Flag has too many limitations, and its sales volume is not as good as that of TEP cars. I believe the official will also understand. If the data is too poor by then, we will set up sales points in Chinese districts or Chinatowns to sell as many points as possible. "

"it's the only way."

Raymond paused, and added: "It's better to put another hound in the car."

"This will take up a lot of cost." Pupu knew the price of the hounds, and reminded, "If 1000 sales points are laid, it is equivalent to occupying 1000 vehicles and 1000 hounds. Our initial investment is too large. If they die, Or lose a few hounds, and we'll lose everything."

"As the director of the factory, I will solve this problem. You only need to be responsible for your own work." Xu Fei didn't say buying shares with dogs, nor did he say buying shares with cars, because this dealer is the same as Lei Fei who sells dogs and small red flags. Technology is a property.

Make it bigger and stronger, raise funds to go public, speculate and sell, and everyone will make a fortune together.

And when he sells, his investment will be converted into profit sharing.

Raymond is a leader in the investment industry, so he naturally understood this truth and didn't say anything.

The purpose of Pupu's coming here is to save his own business. He put a few hounds or TEP luxury cars in Pupu Hotel, Pupu Building, Pupu Road and other business places to attract customers.

Now that he got acquainted with Raymond through Xu Fei and participated in such a promising business, if he asks for benefits, the plane will probably crash on the way back to North America in all likelihood.

He had already encountered this kind of thing. That time, a group of management blocking the market died, which also caused him to go bankrupt for the fourth time.

Therefore, Pu Pu did not speak.

Seeing that the two of them had nothing to say, Xu Fei said, "Lao Lei is going to register a new company, and I will take Pu Pu to take some pictures of the factory area for publicity. When I arrive in North America, let's congratulate together."

"no problem."

…………

11 o'clock in the morning.

After everyone talked about the cooperation intention, Xu Fei brought the Pupu company visiting group to Daze Power-No.1 Light Tractor Assembly Center.

Pupu walked into the workshop office curiously, saw the dome more than ten meters high, 1000 meters long and 200 meters wide, and looked at the unique office area.

"Xu, do you usually work here?"

"How about it, personality?"

"It's enviable. I suddenly want to set up a factory and try to be the factory manager."

"Then you're going to have your sixth bankruptcy very soon."

"I don't like this kind of blessing very much."

As Pupu said, he walked into the material display area, picked up a metal pipe, and tapped the surrounding steel components, "The quality is very good!"

"TEP is acquiring United Defense. I may be in charge in the past, so I prepared some new products for Harsco in advance."

"Harsco, sounds familiar, steel grating?"

"Yes, that's why I brought you here to have a look. If possible, we will sign a supply and demand contract."

"Xu, I know Harsco's products, they are very good and highly rated, but I can't afford them."

"What do you mean?"

"The quality is too good. If I use Harsco's steel to build a building, I will reduce at least one-tenth of the profit. Although the proportion is small, it can be enlarged to a project worth tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions. This point The profits are huge."

"Are all the bean curd projects you build?"

"No! I just act according to the standard. If a steel bar of 3 dollars can meet the minimum standard, why should I spend 5 dollars to buy better quality? Besides, after the project is completed, it will be taken away after a short period of operation. Selling money, as for its quality, after ten or ten years, who will remember me?"

"It seems that we cannot reach further cooperation in the field of steel."

In fact, Harsco can produce inferior steel grating, steel wire and so on.

But the original Harsco has spent 150 years building a high-quality reputation and has a group of loyal customers.

Unexpectedly, Xu Fei became a low-quality steel supplier due to business expansion.

While chatting, the two visited the production line of Xiaohongqi in a nearby non-secret factory building, and took a few groups of photos to promote TEP cars.

in the afternoon.

The entrance of Daze Power.

"Xu, thank you for your hospitality. I have gained a lot from this trip to the East. I will treat you well when I arrive in North America."

"I hope you won't be the liar that Harden said."

"No, if I deceive you, Raymond will kill me."

Pupu, who was originally cynical, suddenly added a serious and serious tone, "This is not a joke."

Seeing this, Xu Fei became curious immediately, because many people seemed to be afraid of Lei Meng, "What has he done?"

"Hmm~~ Kelin, who is now the North American director, once scolded Raymond. Raymond sent a convertible that day, which scared him so much that he didn't dare to leave the white house for half a month. In the end, Kelin couldn't hold back. Get on with the secretary."

"???"

And this thing?

In other words, are my partners, including potential competitors, so strong?
Xu Fei watched Pupu's convoy gradually go away, and his mentality changed subtly.

We can't hold back!

But what should we do?
It seems that apart from producing cars, waiting for the acquisition of joint defense, and occasionally dealing with the more difficult problems of the youth group, there is basically nothing to do.

Xu Fei stood there thinking for a long time before returning to the workshop office.

The moment he stepped into the door, he caught a glimpse of the second secretary sitting at his desk eating melon seeds out of the corner of his eye.

"Second sister, your bonus for this month is gone."

"Um?!!"

Xu Fei took the melon seeds back without any hassle, and started to eat them very naturally, "You are not allowed to eat melon seeds at work."

"Why are you drinking?"

"I'm the factory manager."

"..."

At this time, seven men and eight women who hadn't seen each other for a long time ran in yelling.

"Director, it's a disaster, it's a disaster!"

"They're all sales managers, they're frizzy, what's the point?"

"Director, your car has been taken away!"

"What car?"

"The five bulletproof red flags that were transported to the capital for display, drove to Huaxia Square today. We just put up the big poster, and before the leaflets were distributed, they were snatched away by a group of people."

"Inverted!" Xu Fei jumped up, "Who snatched it?!"

"Diagonally across from the square."

"Diagonally opposite..." Xu Fei looked at the map, "On the left?"

"Yes, director, what should we do?"

"delivered."
