Lin Zheng didn't say anything, tapping the tabletop with his fingers.

After thinking over the past few days, Lin Zheng roughly figured it out. It may not be possible to say that Ford really attaches great importance to intelligent start-stop and hybrid technology. Now the mainstream consumption of the US automobile market is still large-displacement engines. Ford's focus must be to cater to the market, rather than launching energy-saving hybrid models. For wealthy Americans, that little oil price is nothing at all.

For Ford, to put it bluntly, the biggest function of this hybrid system is to tell those media: Who said that Ford does not value energy conservation and environmental protection? You see, we also attach great importance to energy conservation and environmental protection. Ford is also developing its own hybrid system and energy-saving technology. We are also willing to contribute to the environmental protection of the earth. You have all wronged us...

That's all.

Perhaps in another ten or twenty years, under various pressures, Ford will have to pay attention to new energy technology, but now, what Ford needs is really something that can be used to block the mouths of the media.

Ford is so calculating, Lin Zheng couldn't help laughing: "I heard that Ford Motor is talking about cooperation with Changan Motor?"

The boss's thinking span is too big, right? Everyone was stunned.

But Tan Na, who is worthy of being Lin Zheng's pillow and a partner for such a long time, was the first to understand Lin Zheng's meaning and immediately asked: "What's your v← means is that Ford can put pressure on us in Belgium, and can we put pressure on Ford at home?"

"That's right." Lin Zheng nodded.

The Ford Transit commercial vehicle launched in cooperation with Jiangling has allowed Ford to taste the sweetness of the Republic's automobile market and also made Ford realize the potential of this huge market. Now Ford is ready to make a big move in the Republic's automobile market. Since Ford can use Bonchi power to threaten us, it would be a pity that we should not use our advantage in turn.

"But... will this make Chang'an have any objections to us?" Guo Bin was a little worried. Chang'an Automobile is one of our old military-industrial enterprises in China. The deep connections of senior management are not comparable to those of Lianchuang Technology. If Lianchuang Technology really does this, isn't it causing trouble for itself?

Sun Yafang, who also understood Lin Zheng's meaning, explained to Guo Bin: "We are not stopping this project. The Changan Ford project is one of the key projects in the country, and we can't stop it. We just reminded Ford that if some unexpected factors occur, it is not impossible for a year or two to be delayed due to certain factors during the factory construction process. At that time, all the losses will be money... How to weigh the benefits in it? Let Ford decide for itself."

Guo Bin nodded and stopped talking. Although doing this may make Changan Automobile unhappy, there is no risk in what to do? Lianchuang Technology's original intention is not to stop the cooperation between Changan Automobile and Ford Motor, but to ask Ford Motor not to make bad things for itself in Belgium. Of course, there are risks. To say how great the risks are, it may not be necessary.

"Smart Start-Stop?" Bill Ford frowned, obviously dissatisfied with the thing Lin Zheng took out: "Lin. We are friends, you shouldn't use this thing to fool me."

"I didn't fool you," Lin Zheng of course denied Bill Ford's accusation and asked back: "Bill, the ultimate goal of hybrid power is not fuel-efficient? Can intelligent start-stop technology achieve fuel-efficient?"

This is nonsense. Smart start-stop technology can certainly save fuel. The more congested the traffic conditions, the more fuel-super it is. But what Bill Ford wants is not this. Although Ford has not followed up on developing its own smart start-stop technology, this is not very profound. What he is really jealous of is hybrid driver.

"Lin, I can't accept this thing," Looking at Lin Zheng, Bill Ford slowly shook his head: "What I want is a hybrid system."

Lin Zheng refused Bill Ford without hesitation: "This is impossible! The importance of Bangqi Power cannot be compared with hybrid drives."

If it were a few days ago, Lin Zheng might have been a little worried, but now, Lin Zheng really has nothing to worry about.

Bill Ford didn't expect Lin Zheng to refuse so simply. He was stunned and asked subconsciously, "So we have nothing to talk about?"

"How could it be a matter of no talk?" Lin Zheng smiled and handed Bill Ford a cigarette, but he didn't lit it for him. He took a beautiful sip on his own. Then he said: "Bill, let's say it clearly. Without Ford's integration, the chance of us taking Bangqi Power is at most 550 yuan. But even if we fail, we can reach cooperation with Bangqi Power through other methods. For example, Bangqi Power and Lianchuang Technology cooperate to build an automatic transmission production factory in our country. Neither ZF nor the Belgian government can control it. I'm right?"

Bill Ford subconsciously lowered his lips, and he suddenly realized that he might have thought things simple before.

Spreading his hands, Lin Zheng smiled and said, "So, our ancestors have a saying that care is messy. You see, the purpose of our acquisition of Bangqi Power is just to obtain a stable supply of automatic transmissions. But now, whether we can finally acquire Bangqi Power will not have a big impact on us. Even if this acquisition fails to succeed, we can still obtain a stable supply of automatic transmissions through the cooperation of building factories... Batumi did not limit the automatic transmission... This is enough. As long as this purpose can be achieved, whether to acquire Bangqi Power is actually not important to me, right?"

Looking at Bill Ford's slightly changed face, Lin Zheng felt an indescribable feeling: what the ancestors said was right. Take a step back and the sea is wide open. Sometimes take a step back to move forward better. Now take a step back and find that the sea is wide and the sky is empty. No matter what you do, you can handle it with ease.

Bill Ford's face looked a little ugly. He didn't expect that the "surprise" he carefully planned for Lin Zheng would be cracked so simply by Lin Zheng.

He did not doubt the possibility of Bangqi Power and Lianchuang Technology jointly building a factory. Both companies almost got together because they were both in love and intent. What is the big deal to build a factory together?

Since this possibility is available, Lin Zheng will naturally no longer care about his own threats. As for Bangqi Power, with hope, even if the cooperation with Lianchuang Technology is not successful, they will not "sell" to ZF - if it weren't for not being able to survive, a fool would have investigated the price and sold himself.

At this moment, Bill Ford suddenly realized that he had shot himself in the foot, and he didn't make any profit, leaving a bad impression on Lin Zheng. However, Bill Ford is Bill Ford, who can lead Ford to generate an annual net profit of 20 billion US dollars. If you want to say that this guy doesn't have any real skills, who believes?

Since the original path has no longer been done, Bill Ford made a quick decision: "What if Ford Motor wants to cooperate with Lianchuang Technology in hybrid drive technology?"

"No problem, yes." Lin Zheng agreed immediately without even stuttering.

Bill Ford was a little surprised, but then he immediately realized that Lin Zheng agreed so happily, and there must be some conditions that would make him embarrassed.

Sure enough, Lin Zheng continued: "Ford Motor wants to cooperate with Lianchuang Technology in hybrid drive technology? No problem, but Ford Motor also needs to support Lianchuang Technology in traditional energy vehicles."

When Lin Zheng offered such conditions, he was helpless. In Lin Zheng's original plan, he was preparing to cooperate with Lancia, a subsidiary of the Fiat Group. However, this negotiation with Lin Zheng had completely experienced the scattered Italy. The two sides had been talking for so long, but they had not yet reached a result. Lancia's life was so miserable that they could not live, but they were not in a hurry at all and had a cheerful attitude.

The Italians were not in a hurry, but Lin Zheng was in a hurry. He had no choice but to find another way. Billford took the initiative to come to the door this time and felt a bit free and comfortable.

To Lin Zheng's expectations, Bill Ford was not angry, but just frowned, and then slowly said: "What do you mean is... Lianchuang Technology and Ford cooperate to build a factory?"

Bill Ford's performance surprised Lin Zheng: What's going on? Shouldn't Ford and Changan be interested? But why does Bill Ford seem to be a little indifferent?

Lin Zheng forgot that Ford Motor and Changan Automobile had just begun. One of the two sides wanted to find a suitable pedal to enter the Republic market, and the other wanted to find a suitable partner to learn international advanced car manufacturing experience. The two sides hit it off, and they were quite a bit like a fire. However, such a large-scale cooperation cannot be solved in one or two times. The interests involved are complicated, and Changan is also a state-owned enterprise. The interests are even more chaotic. Even though both sides have a strong desire to cooperate, they cannot be solved in one or two times.

During the period of contact with Changan Automobile, Ford Motor staff were overwhelmed by Changan Automobile's "republic-style" thinking methods. The monk was confused and didn't know how many times he complained to the group headquarters. Although Ford Motor is jealous of the booming Republican Automobile market, this does not mean that they like to trouble... If there is a more suitable partner, why do you say "no!"?
