"What? Wolf Castle can't make this determination?" Chen Geng looked at Ferdinand Piech with a smile, with a look of "You are so cowardly!": "I don't understand, what can't make a determination? You must understand that Runhua Industrial is not here to take advantage of it. We can provide the best shape and the best design. At the same time, we can also share the platform's R&D costs and spare parts procurement costs. I remember I told you that although our newly expanded factory will be put into use, in the next five years, we will strive to expand our production capacity to at least 250,000?

What is the annual production capacity of Wolfburg now? What is the annual production capacity of Wolfburg in 5 years? According to the agreement we reached with Skoda, what is the annual production capacity of Skoda in 5 years? Five years later, we, three companies, have joined forces with an annual production capacity of more than 1.5 million vehicles. It is already the world's leading large automobile manufacturing industry group. With our purchase volume, how strong will we have? Which spare parts supplier dares not to give us the best price?"

As Chen Geng said, Piech's breathing became more rapid!

He was indeed moved. As Chen Geng said, the cumulative annual output of Wolfburg, of various types and sub-brands of passenger cars is more than 800,000, and Skoda's annual production capacity is 200,000. According to the agreement reached with Skoda in the previous acquisition, Skoda will reach an annual production capacity of 300,000 in five years. By then, Wolfburg's annual production capacity will exceed 1 million. In addition, Runhua Industrial's at least 250,000, this is the total production capacity of at least 1.55 million. This is just the most conservative number, and it is very likely to exceed 1.7 million by then!

A car alliance with an annual production capacity of 1.7 million vehicles. If Wolfburg, Skoda and Runhua Industrial can share supplier resources as much as possible, how strong bargaining power will it have when facing spare parts suppliers? Ferdinand Piech is a bit unimaginable. . The fastest update

But one thing is certain, that is, with such huge production capacity, the relationship between the "Wolfburg Skoda Runhua Automobile Industry Alliance" and suppliers will be immediately reversed. It is not that Wolfburg is asking for suppliers, but that suppliers are asking for the spare parts procurement committee composed of Wolfburg Automobile, Runhua Industrial and Skoda. How much can the purchase price of spare parts be reduced by then? I dare not say that if there is too much, at least 10% is definitely not a problem.

The purchase price of spare parts is reduced by 10%. If calculated based on the annual production capacity of 1.55 million vehicles, considering after-sales maintenance and parts renewal, at least 1.7 million sets will be purchased...

Thinking of this, Piech could no longer hold it back. Piech licked her lips and said in a deep voice: "Chan, I can't answer you now, but I will report your suggestions to the board of directors immediately after I go back."

"Of course, I fully understand." Chen Geng nodded.

Of course, Piech, an executive vice president, can make a decision for such a big thing. He didn't expect Piech to agree to himself now and pick up a file bag from the table. Chen Geng said: "In order to show the sincerity of Runhua Industrial's cooperation, I designed a hatchback car positioned at the A0 level, which is the first product we have cooperated with."

The first product to cooperate? Piech looked at this file bag and then Chen Geng: "Can I open it now?"

"Of course," Chen Geng smiled and made a gesture: "Please."

The one on the top is a colored rendering. Seeing the rendering of this green hatchback, Piech subconsciously took a breath: It's so beautiful!

The front of the car is two large, two small and four round headlights. The lines of the body are simple and smooth, but they are not lacking in technology. With this paint similar to apple green and metal texture, it gives people a playful feeling. Compared with the current straight-edge and right-angle body designs, the shape of this car looks much better. Just at first glance, Ferdinand Piech fell in love with this look.

The exterior styling of the car was very experienced, and it did not disappoint Ferdinand Piech. Especially the dashboard styling and the choice of white background lights made Ferdinand Piech's eyes even more brilliant...

Can you not be surprised? This is the most classic design of Wolf Castle: the polo with four-eyed round lamp.

"Very beautiful!" Ferdinand Piech said, "Chan, this is indeed a very beautiful car. Are you really willing to take this car out as our first product in cooperation?"

"Of course," Chen Geng nodded affirmatively, "I said that Runhua Industry is very sincere about this cooperation. Of course, we also have several conditions."

Ferdinand Piech was not surprised at all about Chen Geng's requirements. This was a design that the designer had spent countless thoughts at first glance. Piech could guarantee that this car would definitely achieve very good sales results in Europe and South America, which highly like hatchback cars. Chen Geng came up with such a great design. It would be strange if he had no requirements. He nodded and said, "You said."

Looking at Ferdinand Piech, Chen Geng said solemnly: "If we reach cooperation in the future, the existing suppliers of Runhua Industrial must also be included in the scope of investigation."

After a little hesitation, Ferdinand nodded: "Yes, but I can't guarantee..."

"I understand what you mean," Chen Geng said before Ferdinand Piesi finished speaking: "The prerequisite for being able to enter our spare parts supporting companies is that their product quality must meet our requirements. Don't worry, I won't joke about my own interests."

"That's good." Ferdinand Piesi breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he was really worried that Chen Geng would forcefully ask the procurement committee to purchase their products even though he knew that the product quality of Runhua Industrial's original supporting suppliers did not meet the requirements. But now with Chen Geng's words, he was relieved.

He could also understand why Chen Geng made such a request. On the one hand, if all the spare parts were foreign, for Runhua Industrial, the foreign exchange demand alone would be dead, and of course they would not agree; secondly, these suppliers had been firmly supporting the development of Runhua Industrial before, and now they had an opportunity to go to the international stage. Runhua Industrial of course would hold them together. This is human nature. Not to mention that Runhua Industrial would do this, Wolfburg would do this too.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Geng proposed the second condition: "Our Runhua Industrial also has a business of auto parts. If we can provide something that our Runhua Industrial can provide, the price is equivalent when meeting the quality requirements, our alliance must purchase Runhua Industrial's spare parts."

Of course, Piech knew that Runhua Industrial had an automobile spare parts business. The four shock absorbers and springs needed for the Poussan sedan produced in the Republic were provided by Runhua Industrial, and there were also carburetors that matched the engine. It also came from Runhua Industrial’s parent company: the Third Ordnance Repair Factory of the East China Military Region. If there were any spare parts that Runhua Industrial could provide, and the quality and price could meet the requirements of Wolfburg, there seemed to be no reason to disagree.

After a little hesitation, Piech finally nodded: "Of course, if the spare parts provided by Runhua Industrial meet the quality and price standards, we certainly have no reason not to purchase them," but at the same time, Piech also clearly emphasized one point: "But all this is based on the premise that we can reach this cooperation. In addition, even if we purchase, it is impossible to hand over all of the spare parts we need to you. We are in the consideration of preventing risks. We must have at least 2 supporting companies for the same spare parts."

"Of course," Chen Geng smiled: "This is what I want to say."

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

"…This is the general situation, sir." Ferdinand Piesi said respectfully to Carlhaen.

There is no doubt that the most important thing for Ferdinand Piech to come to Czechoslovakia this time is the official signing ceremony for the acquisition of Skoda Automobile, but compared to Chen Geng's proposal to form the "Wolfburg Skoda Runhua Industrial Automobile Alliance", it is impossible for any unexpected signing ceremony to acquire shares, which must be ranked behind.

After listening to Ferdinand Piech's report, Carlhaan did not evaluate the suggestion. Instead, he asked in a deep voice: "It sounds like a very good suggestion, Ferdinand, what do you think about this?"

Ferdinand Piech did not hesitate: "I think it is worth considering carefully."

This is nonsense!

Even with the current scale of Wolfburg Automobile, Chen Geng's proposal can help Wolfburg Automobile increase its net profit by at least hundreds of millions of dollars a year. As Wolfburg's production capacity and the scale of the entire alliance further expand, if the three parties can really establish a cooperative relationship, Wolfburg Automobile's degree of benefit will be further expanded.

Of course, Carl Hahn knew that Wolf Castle would benefit from this proposal, but as the chairman of Wolf Castle Auto, he could not only see the benefits of Chen Geng's proposal to Wolf Castle, but also figured out what harm this cooperation has to do to Wolf Castle. For Wolf Castle, overall, how much does Wolf Castle need to pay? How much can it get? Finally, I calculated whether Wolf Castle made a profit or a loss? This requires a special actuarial agency to calculate the general account.

"By the way, which car Chen designed is very beautiful," Ferdinand Piesi remembered another thing: "He said that his original intention of designing this car was to replace our polo, that is, to replace the pq22 platform we are using now. Although I only saw the renderings, but..."

"What did you say?" Carlhaen was startled by Ferdinand Piesi and hurriedly said, "You said the rendering Chen Geng showed you is a model to replace the polo? And it is very excellent?"

"Yes," Ferdinand Piesi's tone was a little heavy: "In my opinion, it looks much better than the third-generation polo we are designing, but in terms of appearance and interior, it is at least 10 years ahead!"

"Is that great?" Carlhaen was a little disbelief.

The second-generation polo that is currently being produced has entered the end of its life cycle. Wolfburg has just begun the design work of the third-generation polo. If nothing unexpected happens, the third-generation polo, that is, the new generation polo based on the pq23 platform, will be officially put into production in 1994. As a brand that focuses on civilian models, the polo, Beetle, Golf and Passat are the four troikas of the Wolfburg brand, and they also correspond to four platforms respectively. All other derivative models are developed based on these four platforms. If the car Chen Geng took out at least surpassed Wolfburg in terms of styling and interior design, then the matter would be really serious.

“Yes, I think that’s the case,” Ferdinand Piesi said. “My personal opinion is that I think the polo designed by Chen is the same era as their Runhua A6l, with a unified design concept, and you can see similar design languages ​​on both products.”

Carlhaen stopped talking, and he certainly knew about Runhua Industrial's A6l. When it was unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show, it shocked the whole of Europe. It was believed that this was a design that was 10 years ahead of the times and was still not out of date in the next 10 years. It won countless awards in Europe and even the world, and was regarded by countless European arrogant designers as "the design that leads the trend of the times". If this polo is really the same design concept and product with Runhua A6l, then it really needs to be cautious.

Wolfburg once conducted a secret analysis on the a6l model. The conclusion was that if this model was handed over to Wolfburg for production, Wolfburg's overall sales would increase by at least 20%. Under the pull of this model, the overall sales of Wolfburg Group would be allowed to increase by more than 10%. As soon as this conclusion came out, shareholders' eyes were red: How good would it be if this car was from Wolfburg?

After a long silence, Carlhaen's voice finally rang: "I understand, I will call the directors to discuss immediately."

Want to convene a board of directors to discuss this? Of course!

Ferdinand Piesi didn't find it strange at all about the decision of the Chairman. This was related to hundreds of millions of dollars a year. There had never been many cooperative projects in Wolfburg's history. It was not too much to be cautious. It was such a big deal, not to hold a board of directors to discuss it. He immediately said: "What do I need to do?"

Carlhaen said: "Complete the signing, and it is also necessary to prepare. If necessary, maybe we need to invite Mr. Chen Geng to discuss this matter in person."

"OK."
Chapter completed!
