When Jin Xiaoqiang thought about the origin of this Qoros 9, he couldn't help but lament the strong inertia of history. You must know that this car had some connections with the American police in his previous life!

It turns out that the original model of this Qoros 9 is the 2012 Buick Boulevard model owned by General Motors. However, GM later assigned it to the Chevrolet Caprice in the United States. Before his rebirth and time travel, this model was

Because of its powerful performance, this car defeated Ford's new generation Taurus police car and Chrysler's Challenger police car in one fell swoop, thus winning the favor of the American police. It completely replaced Ford's Crown Victoria in the United States and became the new police car in the United States.

A standard car of the generation!

But I didn't expect that in this life, something like this would actually happen in advance because of the sudden appearance of Huayang Power.

"Okay! Nick, I roughly understand what you mean. Do you hope to use our Qoros 9 to compete with Ford's Taurus and Carlisler's challengers, so as to win orders from the US police?"

Jin Xiaoqiang already roughly understood what Nick Reilly meant, but he knew that there must be very harsh terms behind it.

"Yes, Mysterkin, think about it. With General Motors' influence on the U.S. government and various state governments, it is not very difficult for the police to adopt this car as a police car. There are currently dozens of them across the country.

There are 100,000 police cars, and they will be updated at a rate of about 80,000 every year. If we can dominate this market for ten years like Ford's Crown Victoria, this will be

Sales volume exceeds one million, and you must know that the price of each modified police car is not cheap. The starting price has now been raised by Ford to a starting price of 62,000 US dollars. If you add some other high-end

If you have modified equipment, then you have to pay at least 80,000 US dollars or even more to buy one. This is a business worth billions of dollars, how about it? Mysterkin, aren't you tempted?"

A sly smile appeared on Nick Reilly's face. Indeed, this bait was so fragrant that most people would find it unbearable.

Even if a police car costs US$60,000, then if one million units are sold, it will be US$6 billion, plus the annual maintenance and upkeep costs?

You must know that in the United States, later maintenance and repairs are not only expensive in labor costs, but also other parts are extremely expensive. And because it is a police car, it is bound to have frequent bumps and bumps. Moreover, such professional modifications

Police cars cannot be repaired by ordinary repair shops. They must go to repair outlets designated by General Motors, and this will definitely make a lot of money.

Adding up all these miscellaneous things, it is really a deal worth over tens of billions. Of course, the premise is that your model can dominate this market for more than ten years like Ford's Crown Victoria.

Even if you can't do it, then at least you have to occupy a large share of this market. And the biggest advantage of this business is that you don't have to worry about your buyers defaulting on their bills. You have to know that these fees will still have to be paid in the end.

The U.S. state governments are footing the bill, and it's all U.S. taxpayers' money. The U.S. government doesn't feel bad about using it.

And as long as you establish a good relationship with the person in charge of purchasing, such sales will continue to come in the future.

You must know that within the U.S. government, there are not only law enforcement agencies like the police. There are many government departments with law enforcement powers such as the FBI, NASA, ICE, and the National Food and Drug Administration!

And in order to show the characteristics of law enforcement departments, the vehicles they usually use when on duty are similar to police cars, so as to avoid misunderstandings with the police during law enforcement and unnecessary accidental injuries.

So even though the U.S. police force accounts for the bulk of their annual purchases, accounting for 60,000 to 80,000 vehicles, if they can really get the bulk of it from the U.S. police, it will definitely set a good example.

If those messy law enforcement agencies come to purchase by then, they may get orders of 100,000 or more a year, but it's not even possible!

And if all you want are modified vehicles, then you can really make a lot of money. It's easy to make more than a billion sales a year. Throw in all kinds of expenses, and you can make money no matter what.

Several hundred million dollars.

This is really a pie falling from the sky. If he doesn’t know how to accept it, then Jin Xiaoqiang is really a big fool!

"Okay! I admit, this is a good deal, but Nick, I think GM will not give up this part of the profit in vain, right?"

Jin Xiaoqiang asked with a smile, "Nick, I made a big deal about this deal before, but GM is definitely not a believer. Such a good deal must come with its own conditions, and they will not let themselves eat alone in vain."

"Haha, he is indeed a smart person. I like to discuss business with smart people. Mistkin, you also know that the Qoros brand is currently our joint venture product. We have an assembly plant in the United States. Specific engines and transmissions

The parts and components are all manufactured and shipped to the United States from China, and then we assemble them. To be honest, if circumstances permit, I would even like to move the entire production line to China.

, you also know that the damn labor costs in the United States are too expensive. But sometimes, the situation does not allow us to do this. If we do this, the US government will definitely find us trouble and lay off so many workers.

Those bastards in the labor union will definitely not give up. Of course, all of this has to do with Americans’ patriotism and self-esteem. Do you understand what I’m saying?”

Nick Reilly said to Jin Xiaoqiang tentatively, because he didn't know whether Jin Xiaoqiang could accept the conditions he proposed next.

After all, he had negotiated with Jin Xiaoqiang several times before, but he knew how difficult this guy was. If it came to key points, this guy would not give in, and his next conditions were really a bit difficult for Jin Xiaoqiang.

harsh.

"Okay, go on."

Jin Xiaoqiang said to Nick expressionlessly. Nick was a little uneasy, but for the benefit of the company, he gritted his teeth and decided to say it. After all, GM is no longer the international giant it was more than ten years ago, with hundreds of millions of dollars.

The profit may seem small, but mosquito legs are meat, let alone GM, which has been losing money for years.

"Mysterkin, you also know that when it comes to our country's government's official procurement of cars, although there is no explicit rule that domestically produced cars must be used, purchasing domestically produced cars is already an unwritten rule in this industry. But Qoros 9

It is currently a joint venture car between us, and as you know, Tianchao’s

The international background is somewhat special. So if we want the Qoros 9 car to be included in the police purchase car list, we must give it a makeover and put on the sign of our American car. So we thought about it, do you think it is right?

, can Huayang Dynamics make certain concessions in this regard?"

Nick tentatively expressed his thoughts. It is true that in the United States, even though Japanese cars are currently making a fuss in the mid-level car market, when it comes to government official vehicle procurement, if it is not for some important departments, it doesn't matter.

, but when it comes to key government departments, Americans will generally choose domestically produced cars, no matter how poorly their domestically produced cars perform.

"Then you plan to classify our Qoros 9 under which brand?"

Jin Xiaoqiang was still expressionless, but Nick Reilly was even more uneasy. Before he failed at his place several times before, this guy always had such a poker face. Could it be that he is going to get angry again this time?

"We plan to divide it under the Chevrolet Caprice brand, Mistkin. As you know, in the last century, our brand was once the main force in special police vehicles, so for the American police, this brand

But it has considerable historical significance.”

Seeing that Jin Xiaoqiang showed no signs of getting angry, Nick Reilly breathed a sigh of relief and continued. To be honest, he didn't know when he started to feel unusual pressure in front of Jin Xiaoqiang.

"Then if we make concessions, what benefits can Huayang Dynamics get?"

Jin Xiaoqiang asked still expressionlessly.

"In terms of profits from official vehicle purchases, we share 55% of the profits. Of course, Misterkin, please rest assured that our Chevrolet Caprice will never enter the civilian market.

We won’t let him and Qoros 9 compete for jobs!”

Nick Reilly was a sensible person, but he still felt very embarrassed when he behaved like this in front of Jin Xiaoqiang.

Damn it, if I didn't have a suitable car model and couldn't make so much profit, do you think I would come back to you?

Let’s use your Qoros 9 to support our reputation for a while. When GM gets the order for police cars, we will immediately start researching a new generation of police cars. Then we will kick your Qoros 9 away.

I wonder what you can do then?

Nick Reilly thought with some malice in his heart, but he also thought of Jin Xiaoqiang.

"Okay! Your conditions are not impossible, but we must have an additional condition, that is, if the Qoros 9 model receives a considerable number of orders this time during government vehicle procurement, then we must

Sign a long-term contract to prevent GM from unilaterally developing a new generation of models and affecting the status of our car among police purchase vehicles."
