Hansgeorgheert's face was a little unstable, and Lin Zheng's determined expression made him feel a little inaccurate, especially some recent rumors in the industry that made him hesitate.

Moreover, in terms of the distribution of automatic transmission sales in employment, ZF's market is mainly concentrated in the middle and high-end market, and its customers are mostly luxury brands such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi. Most of the automatic transmissions in the mid- and low-end markets have been snatched away by Japan's Aisin. Even some ZF's traditional allies have begun to change their families and abandon the higher-priced ZF and turn to Aisin's embrace.

But this situation is inevitable for the proud old European countries such as France, Germany and Italy, their national character and pride, as well as the strategic requirements for corporate development, and it is inevitable to develop their own automatic transmission, but for ZF, this is not good news.

I wanted to say something to Lin Zheng again, but I was not careful that Lin Zheng had already taken it off: "Mr. Haierte, today's meeting is really regrettable, goodbye."

After saying that, he didn't give Hansgorge Helter's face, so he paid the bill for the people on his side, and he left with such a big thorn.

Looking at Lin Zheng's back, Hansgorgheert's face was so silly.

………………………………………

After getting in the car, Xiaoma asked with some concern: "Boss?"

"It's okay," Lin Zheng waved his hand and said, "The situation is not as serious as you think. If you were so easily angered, Hansgorge Helt would not have been in the position of CEO of ZF for so many years."

When the boss said this, Xiaoma finally felt much more relieved. But suddenly he heard Lin Zheng say, "Xiaoma, Xiaoding. Do you think the company has a consulting company?"

"Boss, don't ask me about this question." Xiao Ding Han smiled twice, "I'm just a driver, I'm very satisfied if I can drive a good car for you."

He is not a person with great ambitions, and he is very satisfied with his current life.

Lin Zheng smiled. There was nothing wrong with Xiao Ding's idea. He was a person with this personality. He turned his head and looked at Xiao Ma and said, "Xiao Ma, what do you think?"

But Xiaoma was obviously thinking more. After thinking for a while, she asked: "Boss, you mean...a consulting company like McKinsey."

"Yes." Lin Zheng nodded and sighed: "This incident made me realize that the company's level of relationship handling is very bad. Many times, I, the group boss, even needs to come forward in person, but this cannot be handled quickly. It will be much more convenient if there is a high-level management consulting company."

McKinsey is a management consulting company. That's right. Since entering China in 1993, this company has created a series of myths. It even has a God-like halo on its head, but what really created the McKinsey myth is not their management ability, but their public relations ability. Lin Zheng has always believed that rather than saying McKinsey is a management consulting company, McKinsey is a high-level and highly capable public relations company.

Why do you say that? Because there is a well-known secret that many Chinese employees and senior consultants of McKinsey are the children and relatives of senior government officials. After McKinsey sent them a job invitation, the only interview session was to ask them to write down the leaders they knew, the relatives and children of the leaders, and how close they could be. Through this interpersonal network, what kind of people can be accessed and what level of internal information can be obtained. In this, some agents secretly trained by some senior officials are not even ruled out.

As long as you confirm the information you provide, McKinsey will provide you with the corresponding position and salary. The higher the administrative level of the leaders you know, your parents and relatives, the higher your salary will be. On weekdays, you can get a large salary without even working. Your friends and family want to travel abroad and study abroad? OK, there is no problem. McKinsey will help you do all this and even pay for the expenses abroad. The only thing you need to do is that when they need you to provide some information, you cannot discount... No one will be so stupid that they can't get over money. What does state secrets have to do with me?

Of course, this is not to belittle McKinsey's level in management consulting. McKinsey's level in corporate management is indeed very high, but the real strength of this company is still in public relations, especially in the creation and handling of relationships with senior management.

This incident gave Lin Zheng a great excitement. From beginning to end, he handled it quite passively. Next time such a situation occurs, Lin Zheng is not sure whether he has such good luck. He urgently needs a management consulting and public relations company that can help handle high-level relationships, well, or think tanks.

Xiaoma did not hesitate. He also believed that the company had such a management consulting company that would be much more convenient to deal with many things.

I immediately expressed my opinion: "I also think the group's public relations department can do a good job in handling domestic relations, but it is almost blank in handling foreign relations. If this can be strengthened, it would be good. But the boss, the high-quality foreign resources have long been controlled by international consulting agencies such as McKinsey, Boston, Agerson, and Roland Berger. We... are too difficult..."

"I know it's difficult," Lin Zheng did not deny this: "If this management consulting company wants to meet its own requirements, the demand for talents and funds is very high. I'm afraid that the annual expenditure will be tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars. Especially when old consulting management companies such as McKinsey and Boston have controlled almost all high-quality resources, it's harder to do this management consulting company well, but I still have to try it."

This management consulting company was destined to be one point since its establishment, that is, although this company serves Lianchuang Technology, it must not be able to see what the relationship between this consulting company and Lianchuang Technology. At least to do this on the surface, this also destined to be impossible to rely solely on Lianchuang Technology's funding to maintain it. It must expand its business externally and poach people from other companies to grab resources.

The problem is that there are only so many high-quality resources. If Lianchuang Technology wants to get in, it is equivalent to grabbing the rice bowls of veteran management consulting giants such as McKinsey and Boston. These veteran giants are definitely not happy and will inevitably arouse their vigilance and counterattack. This means that from the day the company was established, it was like an airborne force dropped behind enemy lines, facing heavy siege. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to break a path through these numerous sieges.

"Have you thought about it?" Although surprised by Lin Zheng's idea, Tan Na chose to support her husband: "But the idea is pretty good. If you think it's appropriate, then try it. Anyway, we can afford to lose the money in the early stage... What if it succeeds?"

I will teach you this?" Lin Zheng immediately smiled, a warm current surged in his heart, and he felt very sorry that his wife was not by his side at this moment.

This was indeed what Lin Zheng taught her, and it originated from a sentence Lin Zheng said to Tan Na at the beginning: People should still have dreams, it is like buying a lottery. Although there is almost no possibility, what if it will be realized one day? Anyway, a lottery doesn’t cost much.

Tan Na also laughed: "It's right that you taught me... What do you think? Get the group's public relations department out?"

"That's right, how can the Public Relations Department be missing?" Lin Zheng shook his head without thinking: "It's just an idea now, I still have to think about how to do it."

"Well," responded. Tan Na always trusted her husband so much: "By the way, the negotiations with ZF?"

Lin Zheng said: "It's just a test. ZF wants to test whether we have any possibility of giving in. Now that we have tried it, I guess... I'm not giving up."

Tan Na, who thought Lin Zheng had given up on ZF, was stunned to hear Lin Zheng's answer and immediately laughed: "Isn't this nonsense? Such a big thing involves ZF's global strategic layout in automatic transmissions. With the rigidity of the Germans, how could they retreat in such a temptation? But speaking of this, the noise you made in Belgium this time is huge, even the old grievances of Belgium and Germany in World War II have been revealed."

Tan Na and Lin Zheng once carefully analyzed what the purpose of ZF's acquisition of Bonchi Power is. The final conclusion is: the biggest possibility is that ZF, which lacks low-end automatic transmission products, wants to use Bonchi's cvt automatic transmission to compete with Aisin's low-end 4AT automatic transmission.

If this is really what ZF thinks, if such a big layout retreats just because of a small test, ZF will not become the two major transmission giants today.

"Huh? Did any leader call you?" Tan Na's words surprised Lin Zheng. With the urinary nature of some domestic leaders, seeing that he was so happy in Belgium and the Germans were bullied so badly, the big hat of "influencing Sino-German diplomatic relations" might be overwhelmed.

"I beat them, but I ignored them." Tan Na said casually, her tone as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

"Um?"

"Don't you know the virtues of those people? Just like what you said, the braids on the head have been cut, but the braids in the heart have not been cut. If the Sino-German diplomatic relations can be affected by such a small movement, then the diplomatic relations will be too worthless," Tan Na snorted, and she was so domineering: "You don't have to worry about these small things, I'll be very angry!"

Lin Zheng silently gave his wife a thumbs up. (To be continued...)
