Supreme Golden Eyes - Chapter 512 The Future of Phantom

The scene that happened yesterday evening, the crew on the freighter did not see it with their own eyes because they were all hiding in the cabin. They only heard a burst of gunfire, and everything was cleaned up when they came out, so they did not show any special emotions. Otherwise, it will take a lot of effort to appease them, and now it just saves Ling Shaonan's trouble, and they are sent a bonus to each of them.

It was troublesome to go to South Korea halfway, but it was not impossible. On the second day, Ling Shaonan took Li Yunqing, his subordinates, and Liu Xiu and others on a passenger ship that Jia Minhao brought over from Busan. The container ships moved forward separately.Strictly speaking, their entry into South Korea in this way is regarded as smuggling, but Jia Minhao's Sea Dragon Gang has been doing well in Busan for the past two years, and they also have some connections with the immigration management department. Those subordinates are more troublesome. They are all elites in the financial world. It is really difficult for them to try the taste of smuggling.

"Shaonan, you made a lot of money from your visit to Japan this time. Not to mention taking down Fuji Heavy Industries, you have played miserably with the Fuji consortium and General Motors. Dogs bit dogs and beat them in a mess, and they looked ugly. Not to mention, you have taken out their nests, I am afraid they have become the laughing stock of the industry now, and the top management of the two companies are going to be mad?" After a day of buffering, Li Yunqing's mood has improved a lot now, just kidding He said to Ling Shaonan.

The facts are indeed as he said, the Fuji consortium and General Motors are completely synonymous with "tragedy" in the battle for Fuji Heavy Industries. They spent so much money and tried their best to make such a big noise, but what happened? They didn't get any of them, and if they spread the word, they would really make people laugh.What's even more embarrassing is that the two companies invested a lot of money in the stock of Fuji Heavy Industries, and the money was put into his own pocket by Ling Shaonan, who was watching from the side, that is to say, the money Ling Shaonan bought Fuji Heavy Industries A considerable part of the money was paid by these two companies for him!

What is even more tragic is that, in order to toss the shares of Fuji Heavy Industries as much as possible, Takeo Yasuda also invested in the shares previously held by the Fuji Consortium. It did have a very good effect at the beginning, making the senior management of Fuji Heavy Industries fearful. Almost died of a heart attack.But once these shares were released, how could Ling Shaonan let them go?As a result, the last bargaining chip of the Fuji consortium was swallowed up.In other words, unless they can snatch food from the original senior management of Fuji Heavy Industries, or buy the 5% shares still circulating in the stock market at a high price, Fuji Heavy Industries will have nothing to do with them.

What Li Yunqing didn't know was that compared to the visible losses of the Fuji consortium, General Motors was even worse!Originally, the purpose of General Motors getting involved in Fuji Heavy Industries was to learn from the strengths of Japanese cars, adjust its own auto industry, and change its domestic market, which was defeated by Japanese cars, and was forced by local companies such as Volkswagen in the European market. In the difficult predicament, after Ling Shaonan got in the way, they flinched back and continued to entangle in the rough style of American cars with large displacement and strong power, and missed an extremely important opportunity for them.

Moreover, General Motors still has a big problem. In recent years, especially in the past ten years, because of the modular production method and unified material supply management method insisted by GM, many of its brands have lost their original The unique charm has become a pure American car without changing the medicine.Although this saves costs, it makes many cars lose their essence, which directly leads to the deteriorating sales performance of many GM subsidiaries.

Several GM subsidiaries such as Saab and Opel have fallen into a state of consecutive losses in recent years.Especially in Germany, the Opel Group, which was originally used by General Motors to compete with BMW and Mercedes-Benz, has recently been completely reduced to a second-rate car manufacturing company. The reputation of their cars is not even as good as that of Volkswagen. The sales performance is very unsatisfactory.

Coupled with GM's inherent old problem-the clutter and variety of its brands, resulting in repeated waste of resources, all kinds of reasons added up to lead to a surge in international oil prices a few years later, and the concept of energy conservation and emission reduction has attracted more and more attention from all over the world. , When the requirements for automakers became more and more stringent, General Motors was almost forced to file for bankruptcy protection!Of course, Ling Shaonan knew about these things, but he didn't take them to heart at all, and even secretly laughed. After all, GM will be one of the main competitors of Phantom Automobile in the future. Everyone will be very happy to see the opponent's bad luck, right?

"Hehe, it's not a big deal, it's just a small gain." Ling Shaonan replied with a smile.That's right, it's really not a big deal for him to earn 20 or [-] billion US dollars. Now his industries, especially several financial institutions, can bring him tens of billions of dollars in profits every year. According to this ratio Forget it, the days he stayed in Japan were not even worth it.

"That's true!" Li Yunqing thought about the situation, and after thinking about the profits of the three financial institutions under his control last year, he stopped entangled in this topic: "After Fuji Heavy Industries was taken down, the scale of Phantom Company It has greatly expanded again, but compared with its asset size of nearly [-] billion U.S. dollars, the profits of its several subsidiaries totaling about [-] million U.S. dollars last year are really too low, compared with our group's several subsidiaries in Indonesia and Russia. It cannot be compared. I know you are very ambitious and want to build Phantom into the world's top car manufacturing company, but when will our self-produced cars go on the market? It is not a problem to spend money on it all the time, and your money will not matter. It's not from the wind!"

It's not surprising that Li Yunqing has such an idea. Compared with Lingtian Investment Group's other subsidiaries that can make profits not long after their establishment, Phantom has been established for almost a year now, but it has only invested but no output, even though it knows the automobile industry. It involves a wide range of topics, and the technology involved is also very complicated. He still can't help feeling a little anxious. If the tens of billions of dollars were handed over to him, he would have earned at least 50 billion in the financial market. It's not as refreshing as it is now. ?

"Soon, hehe, the powertrains of several engines and transmissions have been made, and the corresponding chassis and vehicle design have also been completed, and even the launch of the market can be done in a short time. But Li Ge, you also know , China's auto market has been dominated by German and Japanese cars for many years. Both sides have their own advantages. A group of loyal users. Therefore, although they have invested in the Chinese market with backward models and have been reluctant to launch new technologies, they have formed a relatively good reputation and word-of-mouth among the majority of car owners. easy thing.

And even if our car can open up the market, those Japanese and German car companies will not just watch Phantom grow and develop, and will inevitably set up obstacles for us in various aspects such as parts procurement.Therefore, if we want to be unfettered, we must have our own complete production system like Toyota, especially for key components, we must ensure complete autonomy.

Therefore, throughout last year, not only Phantom was working hard, Zhongke and Taiwu, as suppliers of production equipment and special steel, also worked hard in this area.Some time ago, I received a report that the main technical problems of these two companies have been overcome, and they will be able to provide production equipment and steel materials to Phantom in a few months, so that the models we independently develop can be officially launched next year at the latest. It's on the market! "

Ling Shaonan is very ambitious. Now that he has entered the automobile manufacturing industry, he must do his best, and the most basic point is not to be stuck by others on key components. He knows that Chery, Geely, Great Wall, BYD, etc. How the brand was forced to struggle by joint ventures and foreign automakers in the next decade or so.

Therefore, since the establishment of Phantom Automobile, he has never relaxed his emphasis on independent research and development of technology.Not only did they obtain some valuable technical information through acquisitions, but they also let Hades and Anda’s intelligence system steal and collect as much as possible from major international automakers, and even went into battle by themselves. Advanced engines, transmissions, chassis technologies and the most popular and best-selling vehicle exterior designs have been imitated all over the place, and piles of technical drawings have been sent to Phantom's R&D department for them to study and master.

From this point of view, besides serving as the president of Phantom, Ling Shaonan also works as the chief designer, but he didn't want to be too high-profile, and he didn't say that these drawings were drawn by him, but pretended to come from a non-existent research institution.

Of course, only a guy like Ling Shaonan who is full of energy, excellent memory, and highly developed brain can do this. Otherwise, he would have been busy with many affairs of Ling Tian Investment Group, so how could he have the energy and time to personally do it? Engage in design?

Another person who works like him during the day, and after returning home at night to rest for a while, will start to pay attention to the European and American financial markets, operate ghost funds, formulate investment and development plans for various agents, and worry about the development of various underground forces and armed forces. I still have to do so many high-tech designs, and I only need to meditate or sleep for about two hours a day to restore my energy. Not to mention whether I have the ability, even if I have it, I can't handle this kind of work intensity!
