Chapter 478 Make another profit

p:Brothers, it has been refreshed.

"You are welcome," Chen Geng said quickly: "I dare not assume your statement. There are many excellent designers in Asia, and my level is nothing."

"No! You greatly underestimated your level. I can guarantee that in our Asia, you can't find a second one."

Suzuki Shu had a serious expression, which was so serious that he even had a little fanatic in his eyes: If Chen Geng had not had an automobile manufacturing company himself, he would have long been digging Chen Geng to Suzuki Automobile Co., Ltd. at all costs. Even so, he also had a nearly admirable fanaticism about the design talent shown by Chen Geng: "Mr. Chen, you should understand that for our Asian automobile companies, limited to understanding of automobile culture and machinery, we can strive for excellence in product quality, but when it comes to understanding medium and large cars and large cars, we are still much worse in Asia than the United States and Europe.

I'm very serious about the car you designed is the most beautiful mid-to-large luxury sedan of all Asian auto companies I've ever seen. It's definitely the most dazzling design even in the world. I'm very confident about it."

Not only Suzuki Suzuki is very confident, but Chen Geng is also very confident: If this car cannot be called "stunning", which car at this auto show can afford the word "stunning"?

If this was said by people from our country, Chen Geng would have to be humble, but since he met Suzuki Shuo last time, Chen Geng has been thinking about Suzuki Automobile. Now he is just going with the flow and said, "Mr. Suzuki is so optimistic about my design?"

"Yes," Suzuki nodded heavily. There were two cars such as Beidou Star and Wrangler here to suppress it. Suzuki was already impressed by Chen Geng's ability. Now with this alpha, Suzuki felt that the only thing he could do for Chen Geng's design talent was to kneel down with a big gift. Of course, he would not do this and said with anticipation: "I am full of confidence in our next cooperation."

"Of course, I'm looking forward to our cooperation," You ignored me before, but now you are full of confidence in cooperation? Chen Geng felt aroused, and a thought suddenly popped up and said to Suzuki Suzuki: "Speaking of this, I also involved a small car before. I originally planned to produce it ourselves, but our strength is limited now..."

Before Chen Geng finished speaking, Suzuki Shu had already understood what Chen Geng meant and immediately said with surprise: "What do you mean is to transfer this design to us Suzuki?"

Chen Geng nodded: "As long as Suzuki has the sincerity to cooperate, of course."

"That's great, our Suzuki automatic car is of course full of sincerity!" Suzuki Shuo said, and asked Chen Geng carefully: "So, Chen Jun, can I take a look at the renderings of this car first?"

"Mr. Suzuki, your request... made me feel a little embarrassed." Frowning, Chen Geng was a little unhappy: "You should be clear about the practice of commissioned designs within an international scope."

Although almost every auto manufacturer has its own team of designers, for the whole machine factory, not every car is made by its own designers. Many times they will outsource their products to professional design companies. Some companies even outsource their designs to others. For example, Ferrari outsources their design work to the famous Pininfarina Design Company.

Suzuki is not unfamiliar with design outsourcing. Although Suzuki rarely outsources the design of a car, a considerable part of the design of a motorcycle is outsourced to design companies. Therefore, Suzuki also knows some of the conventions in the design industry: For a car, the interior and exterior styling design of a car account for more than 70% of the workload of a car and more than 90% of the creativity, so the design work of appearance and interior is the most technical. Before the contract is signed, the design company will only give a hasty design sketch at most, and the renderings will never be given. Otherwise, what should you do if you take my renderings to find another design company and try hard to suppress the price?

Now that Suzuki is repairing, he has to look at the renderings, which is obviously a taboo.

Suzuki Shu obviously realized his problem and immediately said, "It's my problem, so can you show me the sketch?"

"How is it..." After thinking about it, Chen Geng nodded reluctantly: "Okay," he said, and waved to Pascal Schultz: "Old Pa, please help greet your friends first. Mr. Suzuki and I have something to say."

Pascal Schultz waved his hand: "You are busy with yours."

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The sketch is simple. As a designer, Chen Geng will carry the materials used for sketching with him wherever he goes. In just over a dozen minutes, a sketch of a small hatchback was already vividly displayed on the paper.

Although there are only a few strokes, it is enough to express the concept that the designer wants to express.

He handed it to Suzuki Xiu casually, and Chen Geng said: "Mr. Suzuki, what do you think?"

"Okay, very good," Suzuki Shuo's eyes lit up and said in praise: "Arranging the four wheels as much as possible on the four corners of his origin, striving to create the largest space in the car. The overall shape seems to have references to the elements of the ii... It's great! Chen Jun, what is the name of this car?"

Chen Geng held back his laughter and said, "Called by Yu Swift."

"Swift?"

"Yes, swift, it."

"It..." Suzuki Shu hesitated a little: "Can you change your name?"

"Why do you need to change your name?" Chen Geng asked, "Do you think the name Swift sounds bad?"

Suzuki Shou frowned and said, "It sounds nice, but Suzuki already has a car called Swift..."

Of course, Chen Geng knew that Suzuki had a car called It. As early as a few years ago, to be precise, in the early 1980s, Suzuki Auto developed a car series called lt. For the lt car series, Suzuki Xiu gave the concept: to create the lightest body, a small and fuel-efficient engine, the best driving handling, and the best 4WD system.

At first, the name lt was only the name lt, but later with the changes and adjustments of Suzuki's global sales strategy, starting from last year, the lt car series sold in Europe, the United States and Oceania began to be renamed lt. Of course, the models sold in Japan are still called lt. Compared with the overseas version, the Japanese version lt has a slightly larger horsepower, and Japan still leaves the good things for itself.

In 1999, Changan Suzuki, our country's Changan Suzuki introduced an economical family sedan, the famous Suzuki Antelope. It was called the Antelope Immediately when it was launched, it was called the Antelope Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Impression Impression Impression Impression Impression Impression Impression Impression Impression Impression Impression Impression I

However, since Suzuki Shui was confused about this issue, this was not a problem for Chen Geng. He shrugged: "If you think it doesn't sound good, you can change your name."

"No, no, no," Suzuki Shu waved his hand: "It sounds very nice. I think this name is good, but I'll think about it again... Chen Jun, the design cost of this car..."

"5 million US dollars." Before Suzuki Suzuki finished speaking, Chen Geng offered his own price.

The design fee of $5 million is almost the charging price of the world's top design companies or designers. This is the design charging standard for design master George Yarrow and the famous Pininfarina in this era.

"5 million US dollars..." Suzuki Shu was stunned: He just wanted to try whether he could get it for hundreds of thousands of dollars...

Chen Geng smiled and said, "Mr. Suzuki, you may not know much about our Runhua Industrial. Let me give you a brief introduction. Our Runhua Industrial is now a large comprehensive enterprise group integrating automobile and motorcycle modification, production, design and R&D, and is involved in various industries. It produces more than 1 million motorcycles per year, so I am happy to hand over this design to Suzuki, which is very good for small cars, but I also hope to see your sincerity..."

The implication is that if the charge is too low, then we might as well not do it.

Suzuki understood what Chen Geng said, so he couldn't help but hesitate: Chen Geng was right. His Runhua Industrial is not a design company that relies on design to make a living. He just sold a design that he couldn't use to himself. If his bid could not meet his ideal number, he would rather not sell it. Who would make people not short of money?

To be rich means to be willful.

Suzuki Shou could understand Chen Geng's psychology, but the problem is that the $5 million design cost is too high. Suzuki Shou really couldn't accept it, let alone Suzuki Shou also set his sights on Runhua Industrial's Beidou Star. Buying the entire Beidou Star is different from simply buying a design. If you include the cost of purchasing Beidou Star's authorization and design patents, wouldn't the price of Suzuki Automobile pay for the two cars exceed 20 million US dollars?

Suzuki Shu was certainly not happy.

The two sides bargained, but still couldn't reach an agreement. Chen Geng was anxious and said, "This way, if Suzuki Automobile can help us purchase a batch of processing equipment, you don't have to pay us cash for the costs of the two cars, Beidouxing and Swift. They can just use the equipment I want."

"Really?" Suzuki Shuo was immediately overjoyed.

There is a rule that everyone recognizes in this form of transaction, which is that you can quote the prices of the things Chen Geng wants a little higher. Of course, this also means that some things Chen Geng wants are a little sensitive, but it doesn’t matter. The relationship between China and the United States is very good now. Americans are helping China improve their fighter jets. There is no need to be afraid of some places that cross the line.

"Really." Chen Geng nodded.

", then that's it." Suzuki Shuo hurriedly. (You can talk about romance when reading novels, and it's even more fun to watch on your phone!)
