Chapter 723 The little devil has nothing to be afraid of
The Japanese are coming. Not only are the internal concerns about the impact of the Japanese on themselves, but even the dealers and supporting companies of Runhua Industrial are also worried. Their concerns are even more severe than Chen Geng imagined, and their pessimism is very serious.
"Old Sun from Dengying Cable Factory called me and asked me if I would be extremely anxious about our market space after the Suzuki motorcycle came in?" After returning to Haizhou, Mr. Xie's solemn expression fully demonstrated the seriousness of the situation facing Runhua Industrial: "Not only Lao Sun, Qindao Light Bulb Factory and Hangzhou Rubber Factory, our old relatives called me. Everyone was very anxious about the Japanese Suzuki motorcycles entering our country, as if a disaster was coming."
"So, we must calm people's hearts down as soon as possible." Chen Geng said slowly after tapping on the table.
"The question is how to calm everyone down?" Pascal Schultz was a little anxious. This German didn't have much confidence in the Japanese motorcycle industry. BMW motorcycles were beaten up by the four major Japanese motorcycle brands. Now they are just a gangster in Europe, and even Pascal Schultz, an indigenous man, began to lose confidence when he heard that Japanese motorcycles were coming in: "Everyone is very pessimistic now."
"How to calm everyone down?" At this time, Chen Geng actually smiled. He said confidently: "It's actually very simple. Just let everyone realize that the arrival of the Japanese is not the end of our national motorcycle company. On the contrary, this is an opportunity for us to improve ourselves."
"What do you mean is to ask everyone to convene a mobilization meeting?" Mr. Xie was a little worried. He felt that Chen Geng thought the problem too simply: holding a mobilization meeting can dispel the worries of Runhua Industrial's supporting manufacturers and dealers? How is this possible?
"The Japanese are also humans, not floods, not that scary," Chen Geng became much calmer than Mr. Xie who almost wrote his worries on his face: "As early as the early 1980s, Honda cooperated with Jialing. Before our Runhua Industrial rose, with the support of Honda's technology and products, Jialing once became the leader of the domestic motorcycle industry, but so what? In just a few years, the throne of the leader of the motorcycle industry has been replaced by us."
Too!
After Chen Geng reminded me, Mr. Xie remembered the king of the domestic motorcycle market this year: Jialing Motorcycle. When Runhua Industrial started making motorcycles, Jialing Motorcycle had reached a scale of 350,000 motorcycles per year. Jialing 50, which was based on Honda cubs as the prototype and Jialing 70, which was also produced in 1985, is also quoted from the Honda cubs family. It is as powerful as the top in China. It is a well-deserved giant in the domestic motorcycle market, but who can imagine it? In just two years, Jialing Motorcycle supported by Honda technology was driven down by Runhua Industrial from the position of the leader of the domestic motorcycle market. Since we can defeat Jialing with Honda technology, can't we deal with the light cavalry supported by Suzuki?
The old man suddenly felt a little ashamed.
Chen Geng seemed not to notice the change in Mr. Xie's expression, and then slowly said: "In addition, in order to increase everyone's confidence in our technology, I plan to organize a manufacturer's team to participate in international motorcycle competitions."
"Are you planning to participate in a motorcycle competition?" Mr. Xie was really scared and raised his head to look at Chen Geng, looking surprised.
"Nothing is this strange?" Looking at Mr. Xie who was surprised, Chen Geng spread his hands and laughed: "In terms of size alone, our Runhua Industry is so large that it has not participated in any international competitions. Don't you think this problem is actually quite serious?"
"This is a good method!" Pascal Schultz slapped the table excitedly: "Yes, let's go to the competition!"
He, from Europe, thinks that motorcycle manufacturers participate in motorcycle competitions is normal: not to mention the size of motorcycles with an annual output of 3 million, those motorcycle brands that are famous and extremely high in Europe, such as MV Augusta, Guz, Ducati, Benelli, etc., can produce 200,000 to 300,000 vehicles a year, such as Guz and MV Augusta, have a production capacity of only tens of thousands of vehicles a year, but this does not prevent them from participating in various high-level events.
In a word, how do you prove that you are awesome? Simple, just pull out a mule or a horse to sing.
Mr. Xie didn't expect that Chen Geng didn't say this, but now after hearing what Chen Geng said, the old man also felt that it was a bit unreasonable not to participate in motorcycle racing with Runhua Industrial's current scale. However, he was a little hesitant about what Chen Geng said about participating in international competitions: "Participate in the competition and help the company gain fame. Now it seems that the time is almost the same, but is it a little early to participate in international competitions now? Otherwise, let's start with domestic competitions first?"
"No, no, no, I firmly believe that we should directly participate in international events, even for relatively low-level events," Before Chen Geng could speak, Pascal Schultz shook his head: "Thank you, I am frank, the level of motorcycle racing in your country is too low. Look at those participating cars, which kind of racing, and that level, are you embarrassed to call professional racing?
Compared with international events that are heavily modified and pursue faster speeds, domestic competitions cannot achieve the purpose of improving technology and improving accumulation through competitions. What good publicity effects can such a competition have?"
"This is because our motorcycle racing started late, and compared with international competitions, there is indeed a gap in our racing level." In Mr. Xie's understanding, the purpose of participating in the competition is to promote the company. Pascal Schultz's words are not very nice, but Mr. Xie has to admit that the reality is that this is the case. The level of these domestic motorcycle racing events is indeed very large. In terms of the level of domestic motorcycle racing, it is considered to be a "quasi-professional" evaluation by international motorcycle racing professionals. But if you go abroad to compete, first of all, the b-gram is much higher than that in domestic competitions, and the publicity effect is obviously better. We participated in foreign competitions and won awards. This makes people feel very awesome if we say it?
"It's not just that," Jia Tingliang, who had always been speechless during the meeting, also spoke for a long time: "Although foreign competitions are very expensive, they have been doing this thing for many years. They are not only professional but also have rich experience. We can learn a lot in the shortest time, and also learn and communicate with high-level foreign peers. The most important thing is that if we want to achieve good results, we must increase our investment in research and development. These technologies developed to achieve better results in the competition can become our technical accumulation and can be applied to our new cars..."
Mr. Xie was completely convinced. Chen Geng said that even if Runhua Industrial’s products are cheap entry-level models, the profits of bicycles cannot be compared with those famous international motorcycle brands with a long history. But the same thing is still the case, where is the size? It’s time to go international to see.
Turning his head to look at Chen Geng, Mr. Xie said, "Okay, go to international competitions, start with lower-level competitions, accumulate experience, I agree."
Mr. Xie has one thing that is, before a decision is made, he will question and oppose it, but when this decision is made, no matter how fierce his previous opposition is, he will unswervingly implement it.
If you don’t understand, you will still resolutely implement it, let alone such an order that has been explained clearly. As long as Mr. Xie says "yes!", he will no longer have to doubt it.
Mr. Xie scratched his head and said, "It's at least next year to participate in the competition. The most urgent thing is how to convince everyone and stabilize the morale of the army. Do you have any ideas?"
After saying that, the old man laughed at himself: "Don't count on me in this matter, I am still full of slutty."
"You are too arrogant to the Japanese. How can you do it when dealing with Japanese? " Chen Geng snorted contemptuously: "You are just watching from the side. Don't look at the Japanese coming this time, but when they cry, the Chinese market can make a lot of money, but not even cats and dogs can make a lot of money."
"Okay! I'll feel relieved with you." Looking at Chen Geng with a confident look on his face, Mr. Xie breathed a sigh of relief, and felt much more relaxed inexplicably.
Chen Geng suddenly remembered something: "By the way, how is that Dong Minzhu now?"
"Xiao Dong is really doing well. The business she is responsible for is now being made prosperous," Mr. Xie immediately understood what Chen Geng meant and frowned: "Is this responsibility a bit too big? Can she, a woman, bear it?"
"We always have to give her a chance to exercise. Human abilities grow through constant tempering. If we always protect her like this, he can't grow up, don't you?"
"Okay," Mr. Xie was just eager to love, but since Chen Geng decided to use this matter to sharpen Dong Minzhu, then harden it, Chen Geng was right. People can always grow up through this constant tempering, and the business she is responsible for is almost the same. Finally, he nodded: "Then I'll call her and let her come over."
"Okay, I can also add a burden to her appropriately." (To be continued...)
