Chapter 115 Expanding Capacity
Jonathan has been annoying lately.

First, the negotiation with Zhou Fei was unsuccessful. The EFI technology patent, which was thought to be available for a few million dollars, ended up being purchased from Zhou Fei for 4000 million dollars.

This was a great shame to Jonathan, who had always been budget-conscious, because he actually lost to a college student at the negotiating table!

But that's okay, after all, the transaction has been completed, no matter how much Jonathan regrets it will not help, and he can make up for this loss from another transaction, that is, the engine project of Chunqi Feiteng Automobile.

Jonathan has been waiting for Chunqi to give up independent research and development and ask them to buy CTM engines again, but after waiting for almost two months, Chunqi has not made any movement, but in July, it has already started to preview the development of Feiteng Automobile. announced.

After inquiring, I found out that Chunqi had already negotiated a domestic engine, and the developer of this engine was Zhou Fei!

The duck that was close to his mouth was snatched away by Zhou Fei.

Jonathan was angry for several days, but finally he endured it, who made the engine so good and cheap.

Fortunately, Shenqi has been discussing the introduction of CTM engines with Dafeng since last year. He heard a message that made him vomit blood:
Shenqi has decided to abandon the introduction of CTM engines and use EA888 engines instead!

It's Zhou Fei again!

Three times in a row, Dafeng Motor suffered a big loss because of Zhou Fei!The combined losses before and after have reached hundreds of millions of dollars!

Jonathan has been very angry these days, but facing this reality, he has nothing to do. Zhou Fei has won these businesses through normal commercial means. No matter how unwilling Dafeng Motor is, he can How about it?
"One day, we will settle our old and new feuds together!" Jonathan gritted his teeth and said angrily.

As long as Zhou Fei continues to work in the automobile industry in the future, with the strength of Dafeng Automobile, there will always be a day when Zhou Fei will be defeated!
***
Unlike Jonathan's upset, Zhou Fei has been enjoying himself these few days. After the Yanjing Auto Show, the fame of the EA888 engine and the Mercedes-Benz company spread all over the country at once, and they are already well-known in the domestic auto industry. Yes, even foreign countries know that the EA888 engine is currently the only mass-produced EFI engine in the world!

And just yesterday, Shenqi also took the initiative to contact Zhou Fei, directly stating that they wanted to use the EA888 from Mercedes-Benz as the engine for their new car Rongjue.

Another big deal!

It only took half a day for the two parties to negotiate all the details and sign a formal cooperation agreement this morning.

Although Shenqi's Rongjue is still in the research and development stage, and it is still at least a year away from the real launch, but being able to win this business is not only an affirmation of the EA888 engine, but also a full increase in the sales of Mercedes-Benz. times!
According to the agreement signed between Mercedes-Benz and Shenqi, Shenqi will order at least 888 EA[-] engines from Mercedes-Benz every year after one year. production needs.

The current factory area is only designed to produce [-] engines per year. Now Feichi has successively become the supplier of two major companies, Chunqi and Shenqi, and judging from the current market response of Feiteng Motors, this Once this car is launched, the annual sales volume will definitely not exceed [-], and may even exceed [-]!
That is to say, the current production capacity of Mercedes-Benz is still difficult to satisfy only one company, Chunqi, not to mention that a new Shenqi will be added a year later.

Therefore, after signing the contract with Shenqi, Zhou Fei has already started to consider expanding the production capacity of Mercedes-Benz.

The first thing Zhou Fei has to solve is to determine where the newly expanded production capacity will be located. Is it still in the existing development zone, or is it considering building a branch factory in other places?
These two solutions have their own advantages and disadvantages. Zhou Fei couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he could only ask his father for help.

"If you want to build a branch factory in other places, you will face many problems. The first is the land for the factory. Whether it is Shencheng or Chuncheng, their industrial land is not as easy to win as we here, and the cost of the land is absolutely More than doubled, that's the first problem you're going to face."

Zhou Dehai paused, and continued, "Secondly, once you set up an abnormality in another place, you will also face the problem of management difficulties. Now that you have someone trustworthy under your command, can you safely hand over the branch factory to him? Or You want to run at both ends, and you have to control both sides?"

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Dehai successively analyzed the existing problems in employee recruitment and enterprise costs, and finally concluded that,
"So my suggestion now is, don't rush to open branch factories in other places, first think about how to make the headquarters bigger and stronger. No matter where you go to open a branch factory, I believe the local government will rush to welcome you to invest of."

If not to mention that Jiang is still old and spicy, Zhou Fei's breadth and depth of seeing the problem is still not up to Zhou Dehai's level.

Zhou Fei smiled and stood up, "I know what to do, thank you dad."

What Zhou Dehai said is correct. What Zhou Fei has to do now is to make the headquarters bigger and stronger, and then he can think about spreading its branches and leaves. Otherwise, the foundation will not be stable, and the branch factories in other places will not survive for too long.

Thinking of this, Zhou Fei contacted Tang Qiang immediately, and met the secretary at the county party committee office.

"Xiao Zhou, is there anything you want to discuss with me this time?" Tang Qiang asked with a smile.

The fame of the Mercedes-Benz company and the EA888 engine gave Tang Qiang, the parent official, the limelight. During a meeting in the city a few days ago, senior city officials also publicly praised Tang Qiang for his excellent work in attracting investment.

Therefore, Tang Qiang's attitude towards Zhou Fei is simply not too kind.

"This is Secretary Tang. I plan to expand the company's existing production capacity, so I want to invest in the construction of several factories in the development zone. This time I came here mainly for this matter." Zhou Fei replied.

"The production capacity has been expanded so soon?" Tang Qiang was startled. How long has it been?

This is developing too fast!

"Yesterday we signed another big order with Shenqi. The current production capacity can no longer meet all the needs. However, Shenqi's orders will not start until a year later. If we plan to expand production capacity now, we will be able to do so in a year's time." I can pick it up."

Hearing this, Tang Qiang couldn't help feeling ecstatic in his heart. It's not enough to get a Chunqi, and now he has become a supplier of Shenqi. Once the production capacity is expanded, the current output value of Mercedes-Benz will at least double!

Another investment project worth hundreds of millions!
Just thinking about it made Tang Qiang feel excited.

"Let's talk about land and funds, what kind of help do you need, our county will definitely support you with all its strength."

After settling his mind, Tang Qiang looked at Zhou Fei and said.
