Chapter 207: The conditions are very harsh [Third update, please vote for me]

My ideas are stuck, and my writing is also a bit stuck. Please adjust it as soon as possible. Please bear with me.

"What does Jin Husband mean?"

At this time, both Nick and Carl had a vague idea of ​​what Jin Xiaoqiang meant, but they still wanted to confirm with him.

"What I mean is very simple. If GM and Opel want to cooperate with Huayang Dynamics on this new car series, then we might as well adopt a new way of cooperation, that is, we set up an independent automobile company to operate this brand.

Concentrate resources to build this brand into a high-quality product that can compete with brands such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Lexus, and specialize in high-quality products. In this way, you can avoid listing this car series under other brands.

This leads to brand confusion and waste of resources."

Jin Xiaoqiang finally expressed his inner intention. After hearing this, Nick Reilly and Carl Stark couldn't help but feel excited. This was really a good idea.

GM has many brands, including Buick, Opel, Pontiac, Saab, Cadillac, Holden, Hummer, Saturn, Daewoo and Suzuki, etc.

These brands have brought great help to GM's diversified operations, but they have also brought many troubles to GM, that is, there are too many brands, they are too complex, and many of them are repetitive and a waste of resources.

As a high-end brand, only Cadillac can take action. Although Hummer is also a luxury off-road vehicle in the traditional sense, in recent years, with people's pursuit of small-displacement vehicles, there is also a deep understanding of the concept of energy conservation and environmental protection.

, there is increasingly no market for such fuel-guzzling vehicles in the market, and now they are basically operating at a loss.

The same is true for Cadillac. With the rise of other automakers and the increasing lock-up of oil resources, Cadillac's current survival situation is also very worrying.

In addition to being able to maintain a certain sales volume in the United States, in other parts of the world, Cadillac is losing ground in competition with high-end cars such as Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche.

Now Jin Xiaoqiang suddenly proposed the idea of ​​establishing a new high-end car series, and with his technical support and his latest powertrain as the basis, Nick Reilly and Carl Stark could not

Not excited.

"Well, this idea... it's really novel... very attractive... but Mysterkin, our company has many major shareholders, and your proposal... needs to be approved by them.

, so I think... we still have to go back and discuss it with them before we can make a decision."

Cooperating to start a new car brand is no small matter. Nick Reilly and Lars Stark cannot make this decision easily.

After all, they are just GM's minority shareholders and executors. Of course, such a major matter must be approved by the company's board of directors before negotiations with Jin Xiaoqiang can continue.

Nick Reilly and Carl Stark were both very moved, but their positions were very different. You must know that Opel is the most special branch brand of General Motors.

Other brands under General Motors are all American auto companies that General Motors merged with or acquired during its development in the United States. Opel is a very important pawn that General Motors has installed in Europe.

Moreover, Opel originated from Germany and is also rooted in Germany. Behind it, there has always been the shadow of the Opel family, so it is very different from other GM brands in that it has considerable autonomy.

If it were separated from Volkswagen, it would still be a car manufacturing company with considerable scale and power.

Therefore, Carl Stark very much agrees with Jin Xiaoqiang's philosophy. Over the years, under GM's blind command, Opel's business conditions have been deteriorating. This has also made the Opel family anxious, seeing the market being destroyed by the public and Japanese.

American car dealers are gradually eating away at it, while Opel can only maintain a declining state. How can their family not be anxious.

They are different from General Motors. They are backed by the big market of the United States, and Europe is their root. After so many years of continuous losses, and the market retreat, they have long wanted to come up with a very eye-catching car to win back

It has lost its market and attention.

Therefore, he quite agreed with Jin Xiaoqiang's proposal, and even wanted to agree to Jin Xiaoqiang's conditions and requirements immediately, but Nick Reilly was different.

He represents General Motors in the United States. Behind him, there are countless plutocrats and family power entanglements. Cooperating with Chinese automobile companies to create a brand new car brand, this matter really has to wait for the people behind him.

Only after discussions between all parties can a conclusion be reached.

The two of them left the hotel with different thoughts, and Jin Xiaoqiang, who now kicked the ball back to GM's side, was extremely relaxed.

I just saw these two people off, but I didn't expect Wang Jiao to have come back. Now the Frankfurt Motor Show has entered the period for general audiences to enter.

Because the media from all over the world praised the new power combination brought by Huayang Power in the past two days, Huayang Power once again became the focus of attention during this public open day.

Although the new Qoros cars they named are still in the concept car stage, this does not prevent these two new cars from becoming the focus of everyone's attention.

Every day, more than tens of thousands of people hang out in front of Huayang Power's booth, paying constant attention to this new model.

As the big boss of the company, Jin Xiaoqiang can be forgiven for not going to the scene, but as the general manager, it would be unreasonable for him not to go to the scene in person.

And the most important thing is that in recent times, businessmen from Europe, America, Africa, Oceania, and South America have been coming to his door, just wanting to talk to him about agency matters.

Before coming this time, he had already anticipated such a situation. He thought about how difficult it was for Japanese cars to go abroad, let alone Korean cars, but now Huayang Power's starting point is much higher than that of companies in these two countries.

many.

It has a great reputation from the beginning, so such a company will never have to worry about the problems of franchisees. In order to solve these problems this time, Wang Jiao specially recruited many international economics and trade majors from some well-known domestic universities.

A small number of talents form the overseas business department of Huayang Power.

The purpose is to specifically deal with these overseas agents who want to join. Recently, Huayang Power has been the most popular period, so it is also a good time to train the team.

However, he still has to go to the scene every day and keep an eye on these people. After all, many of them are novices with little experience, and there are many big deals that still require him, the general manager, to make a decision before he can make a decision.

Today at the venue, I had a good conversation with an agent from Canada and was close to the stage of finalizing the contract. However, unexpectedly, Jin Xiaoqiang suddenly sent someone to ask him to go back to the hotel, saying that he had something important to do and would wait until he got back.

Look, the guest who came has already left.

This, of course, made Wang Jiao a little angry and confused at the same time.

"GM came to me and said it wanted to cooperate with us."

Jin Xiaoqiang saw Wang Jiao's bad expression and immediately explained to him.

"What? GM wants to cooperate with us? Have you agreed?"

As soon as he heard that such an international giant came to visit, Wang Jiao immediately became a little excited. To be honest, Jin Xiaoqiang offended the public to death at the launch of the new powertrain a few days ago.

Although there has been no movement from Volkswagen in the past few days, he has been worried about the revenge from Volkswagen. After all, those people are not a good person.

He had been secretly preparing how they would respond if Volkswagen came to retaliate, but now that he heard Jin Xiaoqiang say that GM wanted to cooperate with them, he suddenly felt happy.

First of all, GM is a world-renowned giant in the automotive industry. If we can cooperate with them, it can be said that Huayang Power's brand image can be improved to a higher level.

Secondly, if it has a relationship with GM, does Volkswagen have to weigh its own weight even if it wants to retaliate against them?

You must know that although GM's performance has been poor in recent years, its influence on the US government is unquestionable. Does Volkswagen still dare to offend the US government?

"I didn't agree."

The second half of Jin Xiaoqiang's words were like a bucket of cold water poured down from a bucket, immediately dousing Wang Jiao's spark of excitement that had just been aroused.

"What are you doing? Mr. Jin, you can't do this in business?"

Wang Jiao was a little excited. Unexpectedly, Jin Xiaoqiang, who was sitting opposite, was still smiling, and he became even more angry.

"I didn't agree to them, but I proposed a new cooperation intention. Here's the thing. GM wanted... but I didn't agree. What about our power and the technical content of the new products?

It’s not unclear...so I raised it..."

Jin Xiaoqiang explained the whole story to Wang Jiao. When Wang Jiao heard this, his frown had already lifted.

Yes, yes, this boss seems to not only have a bright mind in research and development, but also has a good vision in the business world, right?

"Then, boss, how do you plan to cooperate with GM?"

"Well, that's why I'm calling you back so urgently. During this period, you can take a break at the auto show. Let Liu Mei lead the team first. You can bring someone with you immediately to study the performance of General Motors and Opel in recent years.

Business conditions, study what would be needed if we wanted to jointly establish a new automobile factory

What is the investment cost, and if we start negotiations with them, we must insist on a few points. First, the naming rights. The brand must be the Qoros we originally named it, and we can add the name of GM or Opel after it, such as

Qoros GM, Qoros Opel, etc..."
