Chapter 1020 not a competitor
Looking at the brothers who were shocked and didn't know what to say, Chen Geng didn't care: "Everyone thought too much. This car was not a car that planned to sell a thousand or even hundreds of cars a year. The biggest significance of this car is to demonstrate the ability and level of our Runhua Industrial... We can even build such a good car. How will you view our mid-range models?"
Um?
As soon as Chen Geng said this, the brothers suddenly realized it. Ma Chao stared at him: "Three, what do you mean is that you plan to use this car to play a brand? It doesn't matter whether you make money or not. Even if you lose money, right?"
Chen Geng smiled and said, "What do you think?"
"High!" Ma Chao slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Why didn't I expect this? The third brother, it's not that I said you, you are getting more and more traitorous now."
The other brothers also suddenly realized: Yes, two cars with similar prices, one is from Wolfburg and the other is from Mercedes-Benz. Which one would you buy if you change it? You must buy a Mercedes-Benz. Even if you don’t have a Mercedes-Benz logo, you can brag about it when you drive it out: My buddy’s car uses Mercedes-Benz technology and spare parts, and is designed by Mercedes-Benz designers himself, and the brand is better than yours!
Although this car with a total of more than 20 million yuan may not make money, or even lose money, the third brother may make money back from other low-end and mid-range models several times or dozens of times. This is really a good plan!
Looking at Yang Zi, who suddenly realized everything, Chen Geng smiled and did not explain much: An automobile manufacturer has a luxury brand. Even a luxury brand that is not very successful has a huge impact on other brands under the group, which is unimaginable to ordinary people.
However, Wang Rui was still a little curious. She couldn't help asking Chen Geng: "Third brother, you said the brand of your car is called Phoenix, right?"
"Yeah, that's right."
"Isn't that the same name as Phoenix Bicycle in the Magic City?" Wang Rui asked: "Is this considered infringement? Is there any legal trouble?"
Chen Geng raised his thumb: "Sister-in-law, you are so awesome, you even noticed this."
Looking at the eyes of the brothers, you know that the brothers are worried about this trouble. Chen Geng paused briefly and explained: "We have specifically verified this problem. First of all, Phoenix, as a kind of creature in our country's traditional culture, is not exclusive to anyone. In other words, there can be a phoenix bicycle, a phoenix car, or even a phoenix tractor. There is no problem with this. As long as everyone notices that their brand logo should not be the same as Phoenix bicycle, and at the same time, don't let yourself be related to Phoenix bicycles in publicity;
Second, we specifically checked it out. Phoenix Bicycle's business scope is only bicycles, motorcycles, passenger cars, and commercial vehicles. So it's okay for us to register a Phoenix brand for passenger cars, and the brand logo is completely different from Phoenix Bicycle. Phoenix Bicycle may sue us because of this, but they will definitely not win in the end."
So that's it!
Only then did everyone realize it.
………………………………………
The brothers of 302 went to the hotel, but Chen Geng still had to wait at the airport. There was no way. The next person who could not tolerate Chen Geng not paying attention: FAW's boss Geng Shaojie is here.
Speaking of the relationship between Chen Geng and Geng Shaojie, this is really a bit complicated. On the surface, FAW is now mainly engaged in commercial vehicle business and has no competitive relationship with Runhua Industrial, which mainly focuses on passenger cars. The two should be friends, but they are not friends. Not only are they not not friends, but they are a little hostile.
Why? Not only because FAW, the former big brother of the domestic passenger car market, was unhappy when he looked at Runhua Industrial, the emerging giant, but also because when FAW planned to return to the passenger car market, he was often stumbling over Runhua Industrial. At least that's how FAW saw it. If it weren't for Runhua Industrial's secret tricks, why did FAW's Audi 100 not go offline yet? It should have been offline two years ago, and it was also said that FAW's Audi 100 was about to be interviewed, but Runhua Industrial's competitive models aimed at Audi 100 will also come out. Thinking about it, you can guess what FAW is now.
But on the other hand, the two companies have no direct competition after all, and Runhua Industrial has helped FAW more than once, so the relationship between Chen Geng and Geng Shaojie and FAW and Runhua Industrial is really a bit subtle. It is said that friends are definitely not friends, but if they are enemies, it is not considered an enemy.
It is necessary to send an invitation to Geng Shaojie when Chen Geng gets married, but Chen Geng really didn't expect Geng Shaojie to come here in person. He has been here before. The biggest possibility is that Geng Shaojie himself won't come. If the secretary brings a gift, even if he can save face, who would have thought that this guy would actually come in person?
No matter what, FAW is the eldest son of the Republic. According to the current division of state-owned enterprises by the central government, it is a ministerial-level enterprise directly under the central government. The Chinese word "中文" is not a joke. When Geng Shaojie comes, he gives Chen Geng a great face. Chen Geng must take care of it. It is a courtesy to come to the airport to greet him in person.
But Geng Shaojie didn't see that. After leaving the airport, he saw a black sedan parked behind Chen Geng. Geng Shaojie's eyes suddenly widened, and he even forgot to shake hands with Chen Geng. He quickly walked to the car, looked at the sheet metal workmanship of the car, and then turned around the car a few times to see the appearance design ideas of the whole vehicle. Geng Shaojie looked at Chen Geng in shock and incredible, and even said something unscrupulous: "Dr. Chen, this...this...this..."
Chen Geng really understood why Geng Shaojie had such a ghost-like reaction. Their Audi 100 was about to be offline. He smiled and nodded and said, "Well, this is the new luxury brand that our company is planning to fully promote next: Phoenix, Mr. Geng, you are an old senior in our automotive industry. Please help us to take care of it."
"..." Geng Shaojie only had one thought in his mind: I don't know if I should talk about it or not?
Although I don’t know how much the Phoenix sedan from Runhua Industrial costs, as long as I look at the appearance of this car being more luxurious, elegant and noble than the Audi 100, I know that if the prices of the two cars are similar, the Audi 100 will not have a slight competitiveness at all... Not! To be precise, even if this car is 100,000 more expensive than the Audi 100, I am afraid that those who originally planned to buy the Audi 100 would rather spend 100,000 more to buy the car than to buy the Audi 100.
Geng Shaojie was depressed, but...the image, although he had already cursed Chen Geng in his heart, he still had to keep the kindness he should keep on the surface. Waving his hand, Geng Shaojie tried hard to squeeze out a smile that was not much better than crying: "Brother Chen, you are too polite. I admire Runhua Industrial's ability in passenger cars. I dare not say this... Well, if I guess correctly, the design of this car was also designed by you, brother?"
"Haha... I made my brother laugh." Chen Geng said modestly and politely.
“…” Geng Shaojie: nmp!
Just looking at the appearance is already a mess, but when I sat in it, Geng Shaojie knew what it means to be the most collapse, and it was only more collapsed: the rear row of this car is not the three roles of a traditional sedan, but two independent seats like the second row of the Chevrolet bullet!
Strictly speaking, there are actually three seats, but the seat in the middle was placed flat and turned into a large armrest on the left and right seats. It would be fine if it was just a large armrest. Chen Geng also opened a small lid with a special display, and dozens of buttons below came into Geng Shaojie's eyes.
With Chen Geng's introduction, Geng Shaojie felt more and more devastated: Runhua Industrial's Phoenix sedan takes care of the two rear seats in every detail. The two independent seats are equipped with ventilation and heating, with retractable leg support, and can adjust the pitch angle of the entire seat. Not to mention the maximum position that can be obtained by a nearly half-lying position. Even both seats have independent massage functions, not to mention this. The most scary thing is that the rear seat actually has a fax machine and a refrigerator that has both cooling and heating functions. Do you think this is scary?
As for the small desk for office use, the hidden electric kettle that can accommodate up to 5 liters of water, a total of 10 air outlets in the rear row, and a shocking sound system composed of 19 speakers...
At this point, Geng Shaojie was no longer nervous.
ps: Brothers, I’m sorry, there are still 300 words left, please wait 10 minutes before refreshing.
