Chapter 545 People have different hearts!

Feixiang Automobile Group is an old state-owned enterprise mainly producing automobiles.

Although today's young people are not too interested in the cars produced by Feixiang Group, but in the 90s and [-]s, Feixiang cars were definitely a smash hit.The domestic self-owned brand, the first thing that everyone thinks of is Hongqi.Although the red flag is to carry the flag, everyone knows what is actually going on.

Feixiang Group was the first batch to introduce joint venture automobile projects. With the joint venture brand and independent sales channels, Feixiang Group soon spread its products to the whole country—although private car purchases were rare at that time , but most administrative agencies and business departments need cars, and the products of Feixiang Group have filled this gap. There was a time when the products of Feixiang Group were able to occupy more than one-third of the market share!
But now, Feixiang Group can only retreat to the second line.State-owned enterprises have their own strengths and advantages, and concentrate their strengths to do big things. However, it is obvious to all that state-owned enterprises have relatively rigid thinking and approaches.If domestic central enterprises and state-owned enterprises do not rely on the support of the state, it is rare that they can successfully transform, and most of them still need to rely on the support and subsidies of the state.

Although Feixiang Group has no problem in surviving and its production line has never stopped, but when it comes to sales and market share, it is really difficult to say.At present, Feixiang Group is basically relying on the old foundation, the aging of the car style, and the inaccurate grasp of the market, resulting in a decline in sales year by year. This year, a new model was launched, and only 6 cars were sold!
This is Hong Guoguo's slap in the face!

Although this kind of thing is not uncommon in China, it is still very embarrassing for a large state-owned enterprise like Feixiang Group!

State-owned enterprises are notorious for saving face!
For this matter, the 43-year-old Xie Guoqiang, the deputy chief engineer of Feixiang Group, was holding back his energy and wanted to come up with a big project - as a graduate of a prestigious foreign school, he has this ability.

Both he and the boss of Feixiang Group believe this - the chief engineer Tian Hua is about to retire, and now the group's technical aspect depends on Xie Guoqiang.

Although counting, Xie Guoqiang is still relatively young, but he has relatively rich experience. Nearly half of the car models currently being sold by Feixiang Group are projects he is responsible for. Most of these cars are selling well. The problem—of course, except for the 6-car SUV—even Xie Guoqiang himself can't figure it out now, why did he design such an ugly car?

Like many car companies, as soon as the Tengjiao flying car came out, their eyes were fixed on the flying car.

No matter how stupid people in the industry are, they can see that flying cars are now a trend of discovery.

Just as foreign countries have been devoting their energy to researching driverless cars, as soon as Tengjiao came out, everyone understood that the trend has changed!
Flying cars are the mainstream of the future!

Therefore, all car companies with courage and ideas are researching flying cars. After all, this piece of cake is too big!

Flying cars in foreign countries are still in the experimental stage. If they can come up with a finished car now, it will definitely be a good deal. How much market does Teng Jiao occupy?

After all, Xie Guoqiang works in the Feixiang Group. In his opinion, his vision is much better than that of the farmers in the Tengjiao Group. Although they have mastered the technology, their vision is really not wide enough. Now that there is such a big market, they are still producing it step by step. By the time they realize it, other people's cars have already divided the market!
Xie Guoqiang himself has long thought about researching flying cars—after all, although airplanes are becoming more and more popular for civilian use, driving on roads is inconvenient after all, and cars are more popular, but traffic jams and other problems are equally serious. If it can be combined into one, it will definitely be the first choice of ordinary people after the low-altitude control is relaxed!
With this idea in mind, Xie Guoqiang immediately applied to the group for a new project to study his flying car as soon as Tengjiao came out.

The group's executives obviously also saw the significance of the flying car and the vast market space in the future, and approved the first batch of projects with an investment of 500 million yuan.

Xie Guoqiang lived up to expectations, and within a few months, he produced the design drawings of the new plane—although it didn't look good, the first flying car had already been built, and it could fly!

Of course, when it comes to parameters, there is no way to compare with Tengjiao, but at least it has taken shape, right?Except for the imported engine, everything else is self-developed - Xie Guoqiang said so, of course, only he himself knows.

The company's top management is also very happy—this project has been established, and it has achieved results, and at least it has the confidence to report to the superiors—although the cost of this car is equivalent to more than ten Tengjiao, but I own it. A little bit, it will be easy to improve in the future, isn't it?

Just when the company's top management listened to Xie Guoqiang's wonderful ideas about the market prospect and was about to flick a pen and agree to allocate 2000 million yuan for follow-up research, the invitation letter from Changying Group also arrived.

This time, the company's top management began to struggle.

It is not impossible to cooperate with Changying Group.After all, Feixiang Group has cooperated with foreign capital before, using other people's technology to occupy its own market-although most of the money was earned by foreign capital, but after all, they also left some technology and management experience for themselves!
It's no big deal to cooperate with Tengjiao now, and it's not that the old road has not been walked!
However, this cooperation, the new project I just invested in, is it about to let go?This is really a bit reluctant!
If they cooperate, this investment will be in vain!

But Xie Guoqiang looked at the invitation letter and said with a smile: "Go, why not! Since they want to cooperate, let's cooperate! At worst, let them compensate us for our research losses!"

"Let others pay for your research losses?" The company's executives widened their eyes. Xie Guoqiang's thinking is really different!
People compensate you?Why?

Xie Guoqiang said confidently: "Cooperation is usually win-win. Why did Changying Group seek to cooperate with us? Isn't it because of our huge sales channels? Although our market share is not as good as before, sales channels, old relationship accounts They are all here! If they want to cooperate to spread Tengjiao Group to the whole country and the world, they must go through sales channels, and our advantage lies here! Besides, our molding car has already come out, if they don’t want more of ours Competitors should give us some compensation, that's what we should do!"

What Xie Guoqiang didn't say was that, except for the foreigner's engine, most of the design of his flying car was based on the Tengjiao flying car. It's just that the design is not so exquisite, and it can't make that kind of craftsmanship. That's why he came up with a The silly, black and thick things come out!
Letting Xie Guoqiang say this, the company's senior management felt that there was some truth, so they asked Xie Guoqiang to attend this meeting--talk if we can, if we can't talk, we can produce it ourselves!
