Ya Nei of Rebirth

Chapter 1,400: Your Excellency, Vice Governor, you are very stubborn!

Lehman's face became serious, and his smile had long since disappeared.

"Governor Liu, Chairman Zhao, we also respect the provisions of the contract. When we signed this contract, we did not consider it thoroughly and did not consider the constraints caused by technical factors. I estimate that you will not be satisfied with the engines and engines we provided.

Regarding the prices of other spare parts, there are some misunderstandings that we have obtained additional benefits from them. In order to eliminate this misunderstanding on your part, our company has two suggestions..."

Liu Jun and Zhao Yan both looked at Lehman with twinkling eyes.

Lehman said: "First, we invite Governor Liu, Chairman Zhao and other senior managers from your company to visit our company's headquarters to learn about the production process and the market sales situation, so that you can have an intuitive understanding.

This will help eliminate this misunderstanding. Second, in order to show our company’s sincerity, we decided to

The engines and other parts ordered to be supplied to Changfeng Automobile Manufacturing Company will be reduced by three percentage points based on the original price. This is already close to our cost price. Haha... Governor Liu, Chairman Zhao, we are

We are very sincere and hope to resolve the differences between us through friendly consultations."

As he said that, a very sincere smile appeared on the American's face.

Liu Jun smiled faintly.

It is not an exaggeration for General Motors to speculate on their intentions. The current status of domestic automobile joint ventures is like this. They are all using the banner of well-known brands to plunder my country's resources and suppress the development of my country's national automobile industry. Now Changfeng Company has issued a tough ultimatum. From GM's perspective, it is mainly due to profit reasons. As long as a certain discount is given on the supply price, it should be enough to satisfy Liu Jun, Zhao Yan and others.

As for inviting our senior managers to visit the United States, it is also a common practice of foreign investors in joint ventures. They bring these talkers to the United States, entertain them with good food and drinks, look around, travel, and then give them away.

Some benefits of gifts. As the saying goes, those who eat are soft-mouthed and those who take are short-handed. As long as there are enough benefits, blocking the mouths of these people will not be a problem.

In addition, he made a concession of three percentage points on the price and gained face. Zhao Yan had made a great contribution in front of his leaders and was praised. Naturally, he would make a fortune in silence and would never talk about building an engine again.

This is the production line!

Similar techniques have been used by many foreign-funded companies, and they are almost always tried and true.

Liu Jun said with a smile: "I am very grateful to General Motors and Mr. Lehman for their kind invitation. We will definitely conduct an inspection of your company. This is also the need for cooperation and mutual understanding. As for your company's willingness to reduce supply,

On behalf of Changfeng Corporation, I would like to welcome the price. However, Mr. Lehman, I still insist that your company must immediately implement the terms of the contract and, at the latest,

In a short period of time, we will open production lines for engines and other important parts in our country, and in accordance with the provisions of the contract, we will enable Changfeng Motors to achieve localized production as soon as possible. This will have great benefits in reducing vehicle costs and improving efficiency, and we will benefit from it.

It is definitely not just Changfeng Company. As the second largest shareholder of Changfeng Automobile Manufacturing Company, your company can also obtain greater benefits from it."

Mr. Lehman's face darkened and he said: "Governor Liu, I have just said that due to technical reasons, it is not cost-effective to build an engine production line in your country and the cost is too high. We cooperate in order to obtain the maximum benefit.

Profit, why do you do such a thing that greatly increases costs? Please forgive me for my difficulty in understanding!”

Liu Jun said calmly: "Mr. Lehman, you haven't given a sufficiently convincing reason as to why building an engine production line in my country will increase costs. Please come up with a specific plan and budget for building an engine production line in China. We will find out Only after relevant experts discuss together can we draw the correct conclusion. If it is true, as Mr. Lehman said, that building an engine production line in our country will incur higher costs in a short period of time, it is not

There is no way to solve it. This temporary increase in cost can be borne by Changfeng Company, and it does not have to be shared according to the share ratio. Even if the temporary increase in cost is fully borne by Changfeng Company, it is negotiable. When the production line

After the operation is successful and the cost is reduced, Changfeng Company will be gradually compensated from future profits. I think in this way, your company will not be entangled with cost issues!"

Lehman's face completely darkened, and his blue eyes flashed with anger.

It seems that they misjudged the intentions of Changfeng Company and Liu Jun. These Orientals really want to obtain the core technology of the advanced automobile industry. However, it is General Motors' established policy not to build engine production lines in our country, and it is not easy to change.

Lehman pondered for a long time, his blue eyes flashed, and he seemed to have made up his mind, and said: "Governor Liu, Chairman Zhao, it is difficult for us to accept such a proposal. It is not a wise choice to artificially increase the cost significantly.

Let's do this. Let's make another major concession and lower the supply price of engines and other parts.

One percentage point lower. This is the biggest concession our company can make. As for technology, if your company really has such a request, you can send a certain number of workers to the United States to study in our company for two years, and wait for them

How about we discuss this issue after we have mastered certain techniques?"

The two conditions proposed by Lehman are obviously quite tempting. One guy reduced production costs by 4%, which is a huge amount considering the current scale and output of Changfeng Automobile Manufacturing Company.

Partners will benefit a lot from this. It is estimated that except for General Motors, other

Shareholders will be very happy. It is not an exaggeration to say it is a huge victory. Secondly, it is also a good way to send a certain number of workers to the United States for further studies and learn technology. According to general understanding, with this batch of technology

With skilled workers as the backbone, we can hope to build our own engine production line.

Even Zhao Yan was a little tempted and looked at Liu Jun with a questioning look on his face.

A sarcastic smile appeared on Liu Jun's lips.

I have to say that Lehman and General Motors have conducted in-depth research on our country's official culture. This "delay strategy" is really powerful and can deceive some people.

The study period must be two years. Who knows what changes will happen to Changfeng Company’s personnel situation in two years? Zhao Yan has reached sixty years old, and according to the documents, he will soon face retirement. Once he replaces his new job

It remains to be seen whether the leader will insist on this proposal. Even Governor Liu may not be able to stay in Province A at that time.

As the saying goes, things have changed and people have changed. Two years is enough for a lot of changes to occur.

It is conceivable that these workers who are selected for further training cannot learn the real core technologies. Most of them are just to help American workers, euphemistically called learning!

Two years later, the leaders have changed. Even if Liu Jun and Zhao Yan still stick to the original proposal, it will be another negotiation. GM can use similar means to delay it for a few more years.

It is not uncommon for such negotiations to become marathons.

"Mr. Lehman, we are very happy that your company is willing to make major concessions. We are even happier by sending workers to your company to learn technology. However, the engine production line must be built. This is our bottom line, and no conditions can shake us.

Determination!"

Liu Jun's tone remained calm and he spoke slowly.

Lehman's face finally darkened completely. He stared at Liu Jun with his deep-set blue eyes, with undisguised resentment in his eyes. Complemented by his tall nose protruding forward, he looked very handsome.

It's eerie and terrifying. It's very different from the friendly image at the beginning.

The atmosphere in the conference room began to become tense. Attachments from both sides carefully held their breath and did not dare to make the slightest sound.

"Your Excellency, Vice Governor, you are so stubborn, which is beyond my expectation. I have to seriously remind you that your stubbornness may affect the basis of cooperation between us! We at General Motors will not accept any unfriendly remarks.

negotiation!"

For a long time, Lehman said with a straight face, word for word, his tone was gloomy, without any warmth, and his blue eyes stared at Liu Jun with a hint of provocation.

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly dropped to freezing point.

Participating in this meeting were Liu Jun and Zhao Yan, as well as Director Liu of the Provincial Department of Industry, a deputy director of the Provincial Department of Foreign Economic and Trade Cooperation, and other responsible officials from the Department of Industry, the Department of Foreign Trade, and Changfeng Corporation.

Without exception, these cadres are aware of Liu Jun's strength. This young deputy governor has always been sharp in his behavior! Almost no one who dares to challenge him head-on will end well!

But those are all domestic rivals.

Now, facing Lehman and the super behemoth behind him, can Governor Liu's strength still be effective?

General Motors is the world's largest automotive giant!

Everyone looked at Liu Jun nervously!

Everyone saw that Governor Liu's eyebrows had frowned slightly, and the smile lines at the corners of his mouth had disappeared, replaced by a stern expression.

"Mr. Lehman, I think you, and the company behind you, have not understood the essence of the matter! We are not asking, we are demanding! We require you to immediately perform the contract provisions. This is your obligation! There is no room for negotiation!

As for what you said about affecting the basis of cooperation, I don't understand it. It is only natural to act in accordance with the contract. If it is because you do not fulfill your obligations,

If the execution of the contract affects our cooperation, all responsibilities will be borne by your company. We will not rule out using legal means to force your company to perform the contract. I believe Mr. Lehman knows very well what this means to your company. Moreover, I can very

I tell you responsibly that if your company interrupts cooperation because of this, it will forever lose any opportunity to enter the Chinese market again!"
