Chapter 292 Official Car

After Johnson left, only Zhou Fei and the others were left in the office.

"Mr. Zhou thinks that Futong will give up the idea of ​​introducing the Audi A4?" Zhang Xiang asked with a smile.

"It is definitely impossible to give up completely. Maybe they will bring it up in the negotiations the day after tomorrow. They will definitely not be willing to give up this car in a short time." Zhou Fei laughed.

"The strategic value of the A4 is indeed greater. The Audi A4 monopolizes a platform. The introduction of this car actually means the introduction of the remaining models produced on this platform. "Jiang Yang also commented.

The MQB and MLB platforms being built by Mercedes-Benz have been announced at the same time as the release of the two Audi cars. As long as you think about it a little, you can understand that the MLB platform is definitely not limited to the Audi A4. More models will definitely be launched on this platform in the future.

Once the Audi A4 also enters the European and American markets through a joint venture, subsequent models such as the A6 and Q7 can be assembled on the A4 production line. After the A4 production line has been established, these models will then be introduced to the European and American markets. , the best choice is to use the existing production line and continue to form a joint venture with Foton Automobile?

So, Futong Motors is trying to catch big fish for a long time!
"No matter how stupid they are, if we don't agree, that's okay. Anyway, we are only willing to introduce one A3, and they don't even think about the rest." Zhou Fei said with a smile.

He stayed here for another two days, and on the third day, Zhou Fei, on behalf of Feichi, met with the management of Futong Motors, and had an in-depth discussion on the introduction of the Audi A3.

As Zhou Fei said, Futong Motors did not give up the idea of ​​introducing the Audi A4. During the talks, it was mentioned many times, but Zhou Fei declined them all.

Seeing this, Johnson and the others sensibly did not continue to mention it. Anyway, there is still time in the future, and it would be a good compromise to introduce the Audi A3 to the European and American markets first.

As for the specific details of the joint venture, it is still carried out with reference to golf, so the two parties quickly reached an agreement, and signed the contract in the afternoon of the same day.

Then, on the second day after the contract was signed, both Mercedes-Benz and Futong Motors announced the matter. The two parties agreed that they would start production of the Audi A3 in a joint venture factory in the United States in June this year!

This is the second car to go abroad after the Golf sedan. Naturally, it has attracted a lot of attention, especially European and American consumers. It can be said that they are very happy. Photos on the Internet can be seen everywhere. personality?
But in this announcement, it does not show that the Audi A4 will also be introduced to Europe and the United States at the same time. This is undoubtedly a great pity for consumers who prefer the A4 car.

But in any case, it is very good news for Audi to go abroad, whether it is for Mercedes-Benz, Forton, or the entire European and American consumers. Obviously, this is a win-win situation .

After signing the agreement, Zhou Fei and Zhang Xiang are also ready to return to China.

"Dayang, please pay attention to the preparations for the production of the Audi A3. If you need anything, please contact us."

Before leaving, Zhou Fei still reminded him.

In the few months before the start of production, I was actually preparing various parts and components required for the start of production. First, the engine production line must be remodeled. Although both are EA888 series, there are still differences between direct injection and electronic injection little difference.

In addition, these parts such as interior parts also need to communicate with suppliers in advance to make full preparations for the start of production in June.

Although Futong Motors is the main responsible party, it is best for Mercedes-Benz to have someone to help.

"Don't worry, Brother Fei, Europe and the United States will be left to me, and I can handle it." Jiang Yang nodded with a smile.

The experience of these two years has really made Jiang Yang grow a lot, and also made him experience the hardships of changing from an ivory tower to a society, which made him admire Zhou Fei even more. From the second semester of his junior year until Now, it is not easy for Zhou Fei to get to where he is today.

"Okay, then I won't say more. Brother Xiang and I have to return to China tomorrow morning. Let's have a good get together tonight." Zhou Fei hugged Jiang Yang and said with a smile.

In the past two days, I ate lunch and dinner with Johnson and others from Ford Motor, and I didn't have much time alone with Jiang Yang, so Zhou Fei planned to catch up on the old days before leaving.

That night, the three of them drank from eight o'clock to ten o'clock before returning to the room with each other supporting each other, and Zhou Fei also specifically asked to share the same bed with Jiang Yang. After graduation, they rarely had such an opportunity .

At around eight o'clock the next morning, Zhou Fei and Zhang Xiang took the flight back to China.

With the successful introduction of the Audi A3 to the European and American markets, Mercedes-Benz has also entered a relatively leisure period. This leisure does not mean that there is no work to do, but that there are no new projects in operation.

Zhou Fei also just took advantage of this time to relax a bit, and by the way, to clear his mind and think about the next step for Feichi Company.

March flew by quickly, and the domestic sales of the Audi series were quickly counted.

In the past month, the cumulative sales of the Audi A3 have exceeded [-], almost approaching [-].

Although the sales volume of the Audi A4 did not reach such a high level, it still exceeded [-] units, and it successfully climbed to the top of the domestic luxury car sales champion in March!

Before that, the sales champions were basically all Lufeng H4 or Lufeng H6 in turn, and there was no possibility of other luxury car brands getting involved.

However, in the first month of Audi's release, it successfully broke Lu Feng's monopoly, snatched the sales champion from Lu Feng abruptly, and once again proved Audi's strength to everyone!

And this news naturally caused many media reports, because it was a historic breakthrough for Mercedes-Benz and the entire Huaxia automobile industry, and it was of commemorative significance.

"Break the monopoly: Audi A4 tops the domestic luxury car sales ranking No. 1!"

"Audi A4 set a new luxury car sales myth!"

"Audi VS Lufeng: In the first round, Audi has the upper hand!"

…………

While the company was full of joy, Zhou Fei also began to gradually enter the working state from the previous leisure state.

Zhou Fei is naturally very happy with the achievements of the Audi Twins in the past month, but this is just the beginning. In the future, Mercedes-Benz has to continue to work hard. After all, Zhou Fei's expectations for Audi, a luxury car brand, are more than The achievement in front of me.

After taking away the sales champion, Zhou Fei's next goal is to aim at the official car market that has been dominated by Lu Feng for many years!
