reborn industrial empire

The reason why Nick Reilly felt such a different aura from Jin Xiaoqiang was that the aura was related to Jin Xiaoqiang's identity.

First of all, he is the boss of Huayang Power, and secondly, he is now well-known in the industry, and can even be said to be the most popular car designer at the moment.

No matter from any aspect, GM does not want to offend Jin Xiaoqiang. After all, although business is business, everyone still understands the principle of harmony and wealth.

Because based on the current development situation of Huayang Power, no one can say for sure whether Huayang Power will grow into the next Toyota, and whether the two parties will have other forms of cooperation in the future, no one can say for sure.

So now GM really doesn’t want to push Huayang Dynamics too hard.

And in fact, they also know very well how much effort and investment it takes for a car company to develop a new car.

In fact, the reason why they proposed to cooperate with Huayang Power and asked for so many shares at the beginning was because they wanted to test whether Jin Xiaoqiang and Huayang Power would be as weak as the Chinese companies they had contacted before.

Just say a few threatening words and the other party will compromise.

But now it seems that it is not like that at all. This Huayang Dynamics is completely tough!

Such methods of plundering and using reputation to suppress people may have been tried and tested by other Chinese companies, but when used in Huayang Dynamics, it seems to have little effect!

"Mr. Nick, I think you need to be very clear. It is you who are asking for us, not us who are asking for you. Without GM, we can still cooperate with Ford and Chrysler. I think they will be happy to accept it.

Our conditions, after all, they don’t need to pay anything more. They have many assembly lines in the United States and they have access to the U.S. government.

Due to their connections with the government, I think Ford and Chrysler will also have many lobbyists in the government, and even if I ask them to provide us with a certain amount of funds to build the factory, they will definitely agree. After all, what they have paid is nothing more than some of their own skills.

With the resources I have, I can share no less than 40% of the profits from our new car series. I think my conditions are already very favorable."

Jin Xiaoqiang had no intention of stopping. He was still aggressive. At this time, Nick Reilly, who was sitting opposite, was speechless.

As for Carl Stark, he looked at Nick Reilly eagerly, thinking to himself, brother, you must not confront him. If he is really angry and terminates the negotiation with us in anger, you are afraid.

GM may not be a big deal, but we at Opel can't afford it.

Nick Reilly has been livid and silent for decades. Since he became a GM executive, he has participated in countless negotiations, large and small, but no one has ever dared to yell at him like this in front of his face.

.

Even when I interact with the CEOs of Mercedes-Benz and BMW, everyone is always smiling.

But are they all opponents of the same level?

No, it seems that I have made a mistake. From the very beginning, I and others did not regard Huayang Dynamics as an opponent of the same level, which is why it has caused so much trouble now.

Indeed, if Huayang Dynamics had been regarded as an opponent of the same level, the conditions proposed by General Motors would not have been a bit excessive.

But are they opponents of the same level? Damn it, why would I think so?

Nick Reilly shook his head and tried his best to wake himself up. Jin Xiaoqiang's lion's roar just now really shocked him and unconsciously introduced him into the role, making him stand next to Jin Xiaoqiang.

I started to look at the problem from my standpoint.

But this would definitely be disastrous for a business negotiation, so Nick Reilly hurriedly tried to regain his sanity.

"But Mr. Jin, your Huayang Power's scale is really larger than ours at GM... and you still have to use our sales channels..."

Nick wanted to threaten Jin Xiaoqiang and bring back the current passive situation, but even he himself didn't know why the words coming out of his mouth seemed so feeble.

"hehe.

..

Jin Xiaoqiang stood up and looked at Nick Reilly sitting opposite with a condescending sneer. His eyes were full of disdain, which made Nick Reilly opposite him feel very uncomfortable, but he could not let it out.

"So what? Back then, Toyota and GM were not of the same scale? Hyundai and GM were not of the same scale. Even Mercedes-Benz and BMW were no longer on the same level as GM. But what about now? So what?"

Jin Xiaoqiang's words were so bloody that they slapped GM's face, which made Nick Reilly's face even more ugly. In terms of momentum, he was now completely suppressed by Jin Xiaoqiang, but he could not break out.

Nick Reilly swore in his heart that this was the most uncomfortable negotiation he had ever participated in in his life, and he never wanted to face Jin Xiaoqiang again.

Indeed, thirty years ago, what was Toyota compared to General Motors? Let alone Toyota, it was Mercedes-Benz and BMW. So what was it?

But what about now? Although it is still known as the world's number one automobile manufacturer, the global market is constantly being eroded by rising stars like Toyota and Hyundai. Needless to say, Mercedes-Benz and BMW, in the high-end market, put GM

The Cadillac beat the shit out of me.

If it weren't for some American consumers using a little patriotism to support state-owned brands, GM would have been doomed long ago.

Today's General Motors looks very glamorous on the surface, but in fact it is also suffering from internal and external troubles. Because of its early strategic mistakes, they were greedy for big things and sought completeness, which resulted in too many brands under its umbrella.

Many brands are even operating at a loss, and with the expansion in the past few years, GM's debt has increased. So far, the company's debt has reached more than 40 billion.

However, many of the brands under his control are not profitable, but it is not that easy to get rid of the burden. Therefore, Nick is very clear about the current internal situation of GM. It is indeed a bit of a shame to make money.

That's why this time the company is so desperate to stick to Huayang Dynamics and get a piece of the pie from others.

After all, GM has long passed the era of abundant wealth and has entered the era of careful budgeting. They are indeed very optimistic about the Qoros model of Huayang Power and have done some market research in Europe and the United States.

They are aware of consumers' expectations for this car, but if Huayang does not relent or seeks cooperation with other companies, they will only be the ones to suffer.

"Okay, Mysterkin, if you want us to agree to your request, that's fine, but we need to cooperate with all the brands under your Huayang Dynamics. In other words, except for the new Qoros car series, we will set up a

In addition to the new brand, GM wants the agency rights for other Huayang Power models in the United States and Europe."

Plan A... doesn't work, then plan B, otherwise things will come to a standstill. And seeing how angry Jin Xiaoqiang is now, Nick Reilly doesn't know whether this guy is really angry or fake.

"oh?..."

Jin Xiaoqiang raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that GM would actually propose such a proposal. Haha, it seems that the other party really has no cards in hand, and they really need Huayang Power's products.

"Are you referring to our Eado, Octavia, Escape and other car series?"

Jin Xiaoqiang asked with a smile.

"No, there are also the tough guy series, the Elite, the newly launched Yuedong, and all the new models launched by Huayang Power in the future..."

Nick Reilly has a huge appetite, and it seems he is still raising prices.

"Well, I would like to know what our cooperation method is like for such a car model?"

Jin Xiaoqiang asked Nick again.

"Well, we have many sales companies under GM. We plan to hand over the agency of your Huayang Dynamics' other products to one of them as the general distributor in the United States or Europe, and then use our GM sales network to sell

, Misterkin, you have to know that our general sales network is very complete.

Emotionally, the other party has a good idea of ​​plucking the goose, but how can this be done? If the other party sets the price arbitrarily, wouldn't it disrupt our market in North America?

"Nick, sir, first of all, we cannot leave the European agents to you. We already have agents in Europe. I believe you have seen that our cars are now being sold in many countries in Europe. Secondly,

I want to know, if you represent Huayang Power’s brand, the pricing issue..."

Jin Xiaoqiang asked tentatively.

"We can discuss this. We will not unilaterally decide the price of this car. After all, we also hope that the more cars like this we can buy in the United States, the better..."

It is true that GM cars are not cheap to buy in the United States, but Japanese and Korean cars are now very cheap to buy in the United States, so they have taken over a lot of their markets. GM can't let go of its reputation and cuts prices, so

They really need some high-quality and low-priced cars that can compete with Japanese and Korean models at low-end prices.

So this time they plan to be a "Wal-Mart" in the automobile industry, using the "Wal-Mart" model of purchasing goods from China and selling in the United States to compete with Japan and South Korea.

"Well, this can be considered, but if this is the case, then we need you to provide us with a free production line with an annual output of 500,000 vehicles...!
