Chapter 312 The old enemy
The data platform and dealer platform on Autohome, one involves whether the major automakers are willing to connect their model data to the website, and the other involves whether the major 4S stores are willing to connect.

Zhang Xiang is in charge of the sales of Feichi Company all the year round. In terms of some contacts, he is even wider than Zhou Fei. It should be the best arrangement for him to negotiate on behalf of Feichi Company and Zhou Fei to assist him.

"Okay Mr. Zhou, after I arrange the work here, I will return to China immediately, and I will be able to return to the headquarters in about a week."

After hearing Zhou Fei's arrangement, Zhang Xiang nodded quickly.

Next, Zhou Fei briefly talked to Zhang Xiang and Jiang Yang about the work arrangements in the European and American markets. When he was about to hang up the phone, Zhou Fei suddenly remembered something, so he urged,
"By the way, Brother Xiang, before you go back to China, help me go to Munich to see how the construction is progressing there. By the way, I would like to inquire about Dafeng Automobile's plans in Munich. Pay attention to the secrecy of the itinerary. , don’t let others know what you are doing.”

When returning to Detroit from Munich, Zhou Fei had already told Zhang Xiang everything there, but Zhou Fei did not elaborate on which car was put into production.

"About Dafeng Motor's actions in Munich, I heard from a few people from Forton Motor that Dafeng seems to be planning to produce a luxury car there." Zhang Xiang replied immediately, and he also heard this news by accident.

"Luxury car?" Zhou Fei couldn't help showing a thoughtful look, "Is it from the Lufeng series?"

In fact, after asking this question, Zhou Fei already had the answer. All models of the Lufeng series are produced at the headquarters of Dafeng, and the output can already meet the needs of the European and American markets. Surplus is where new production bases need to be built.

And if it is really the Lufeng series, why has Dafeng Motor kept it secret?

"It's not Lufeng, it should be a brand new luxury car, but I don't know more specific information." Zhang Xiang shook his head.

"Okay, then I get it, you go to Munich this time, try to find out as much as possible, and report to me when you come back." Zhou Fei didn't continue to dwell on this issue.

If Dafeng Motors really puts into production a luxury car in Munich, it really coincides with Zhou Fei's idea, because in Zhou Fei's plan, the new production base in Munich will also be a Brand new luxury car brand!
If so, it would be interesting.

While Zhou Fei was talking on the phone with Zhang Xiang, Falcao of Chunqi Dafeng was also routinely reporting the situation in Huaxia to Fred.

"...One more thing. I don't know if the president knows about it. The Feichi company suddenly announced that they will engage in online sales. I think it is necessary to report to the president."

After talking about other things, Falcao told Fred about it again.

"Online sales? Is that what Jonathan did in Chunqi Dafeng before?" Fred glanced at Jonathan who was standing aside, and couldn't help frowning.

"Yes, it's similar, but the one proposed by Mercedes-Benz has more complete functions." Falcao quickly replied.

"Let's not worry about this for now, there is no news that Mercedes-Benz is going to develop a new car?" Fred asked.

Although the Audi series has only been released for more than four months, judging from the release time of Mercedes-Benz's new cars for so many years, it is usually at this time that Mercedes-Benz will develop new cars in secret, otherwise it would be impossible to release a car almost every year. new car.

"Not yet. If there is any news, I will inform the president as soon as possible."

"Well, then hang up first, I still have something to do here."

After hanging up the phone, Fred looked at Jonathan at the side and said, "The Mercedes-Benz company actually announced that they will start online sales. I guess we have to follow your old path again."

"If that's the case, then they deserve to take a detour." Jonathan replied cautiously. Although he said so, he still felt a little uneasy after dealing with Feichi Company for so many years.

Ever since he was transferred back to the headquarters, Jonathan has been holding a vacant position and seems to have been marginalized. It was not until the beginning of this month that Fred found Jonathan and asked him to follow him to Munich to prepare for the new production in Munich. The base was handed over to Jonathan for management.

Although the scale of this production base is not as large as that of Chunqi Dafeng, Jonathan knows that this project that is about to be put into production has cost Dafeng Motors many years of hard work. Fred is willing to hand it over to Jonathan, which means that Jonathan is still "Grace has not diminished".

This time I brought Jonathan here mainly to let him get acquainted with the situation here and facilitate subsequent management.

In addition to Jonathan following, Hines, who was in charge of this project in the early stage, also followed.

"This is the last chance I'll give you. If you still can't seize it, then don't blame me for not remembering the past."

Fred took a deep look at Jonathan, and being able to hand over this project to Jonathan proved that he still recognized the other party's ability.

"Don't worry, President, I will seize the opportunity this time, and I won't let you down again." Jonathan immediately expressed his opinion after hearing this.

The situation in Munich is different from that in China. In China, Chunqi Dafeng will face direct competition from Mercedes-Benz. In Europe and the United States, although there are joint ventures, the pressure of competition is much smaller after all. Jonathan is confident that he can stabilize the situation. Here's to the market!
"When will the production base here be completed?" Fred didn't continue to dwell on this topic, but asked Hines, who was on the side.

"Probably in July next year, it will be put into production in August at the latest." Hines replied hastily.

Next, the three of Fred walked around the industrial park again. Just as they were about to leave, Fred accidentally saw that there was construction not far away, so he curiously asked road,
"What's the situation over there? Apart from our Dafeng Automobile, is there any other company that is also producing here?"

Although this is an industrial park, judging from the scale of construction there, it should also be a production base for automobiles. Apart from Dafeng Automobile, Fred couldn't figure out which company had any projects here.

"I've inquired about it, and it seems that the professor of the Technical University of Munich is investing in the construction of the factory." Heins replied quickly.

As early as the start of the production base, Hines discovered the situation here, so he secretly inquired, and found out that Mueller's company was investing, although he didn't understand why such a small company would invest in large-scale Invest in building factories, but Hines didn't go any further.

"Professor of the Technical University of Munich?" Fred frowned, and he couldn't remember who it was for a while.

"It's that Mueller who has been unwilling to sell the company to us. In the end, I negotiated with him personally before he was willing to sell the land to us. The vehicle factory we are building was originally his small company. .” Hines quickly explained.

"It's that company." Fred couldn't help but take another look, "But why is he building a factory here?"
